LiveCycle Magazine

Hello,
I can't not find a right forum to post this question so I just post it here and hope that I could get some answers. There are a lot of magazine for different software tool like Microsoft office, Oracle (free to subscribed member), Linux, Java, Javascript etc but could not find one for Adobe product like Acrobat and LiveCycle. Does anyone know if there a magazine for Acrobat and/or LiveCycle? If so, could you please provide a subscribe link.
Thanks in advance,
Han Dao

Thanks sberman tried your suggestion but still archiving.Everything is working on my ipad , all other issues have archived with no problem it's just this one issue..it's annoying.

How can I pubish SWF interactive magazine to flash based website? It's not working!

I hope someone can help me launch my first interactive magazine (SWF) to our website with ID 5. Okay, my hard copy mag came out great so then I started on the interactive edition. Everything was going swell with adding 3 short videos ( FLV ) and creating 3 slide shows. When I previewed it by exporting to SWF I could preview it in my browser fine. Page curls, fade in words (although the “hide until animated” options only works in two out of about 7 instances. (same settings) file:///C:/Users/lauralaptop/Documents/NEW%20PUBLICATION%20QUARTERLY%20JOURNAL%202011%20se pt%202/LIFE%20apr-may-june%202011%201st%20issue%20INTERACTIVE%20TRYOUT%20Aug%2031%204pm.ht ml
I then followed instructions from another Adobe exercise, exported it to Flash, went to Publish Settings, but of course when I pressed “publish” I didn’t get the same result as the teacher…I got an error message about text. I searched a forum with the same message I got and saw that making sure my text setting was set for Classic, solved someone else’s problem. So I did and was able to “publish”. But now, when I open either the SWF or HTML file, it’ just rapidly repeating the 12 pages in my file in a loop!
file:///C:/Users/lauralaptop/Desktop/LIFE%20apr-may-june%202011%201st%20issue%20INTERACTIV E%20TRYOUT%20Aug%2031%204pm.html
I have spent most of the summer self teaching myself InDesign CS5 (not easy!) and am excited to be able to put out an interactive SWF file that can be opened in a Flash player through our Flash based website. I feel like I’m just inches away for launch but now I’m getting frustrated. Isn’t this going to be possible?
Also, when I publish it in Flash, it creates a SWF file AND an HTML file. But on our website, I have only one option to make a link to a document OR an outside link to open a file. How does that work?
Many thanks for whoever can help me out here. This was supposed to be a spring issue. Had to change it to summer and now I guess it’s a fall launch!

Thank you for your quick reply, Rob. Well, i can't open the link you gave me to mysite (got a 404 error), could you resend it?
Originally, I exported the file to SWF (player) and just tried to link that file from our flash based website. It opens fine, page curls fine, slide shows fine, but when you click on the photos with videos, page 5 (father and baby) and two others, the image disappears and only a white comes up to fill that area.
http://scpres.org/#/media-sermons-online/our-publications. Could you go to this link on our website to see what I mean? Go to the NEWSBREAK TRANSFORMS and click on the Life, Stories of Transformation.
Rob, here is where i have very limited knowledge: As I said we use a flash based (read very user friendly) web hosting company. When I am in the back end to upload the swf file, I have only one option - "attach a video, attach a document, attach a link" so how would I upload a "folder" with more than one item to the server?
I thought it would be considered a video since the SWF file says SWF movie, but when I when i try to upload as a video, it doesn't come up as importable. (am i sounding really stupid?) Maybe I should admit that yes, I'm an ID5 newbie AND yes, I'm no spring chicken but I have been working in CS2,3,4 for several years and now 5 and am quite proficient in the create aspect of Adobe products. It's just now the technical part about how to actually get my in work published to the site.There isn't anyone else in my company able to help me so I have to reach out to this forum!
I love ID and this is just my first effort but I'm looking forward to creating many more interactive magazines for my company.
Thanks for any help.

In LIVECYCLE DESIGNER how do I code a submit button to only submit one page of a multipage PDF

I have a multipage PDF I've designed in Livecycle and have print and submit buttons on each unique form in the document. I am able to create code (which I've copied from someplace) that allows only one page to print but when I click the submit button it wants to submit the entire document. PS - I created the Submit from the blank button and have it set to submit PDF not XML.

I don't think you can submit just a page of your PDF like you printed just a page. The difference is that when you print, the PDF becomes dots on paper, while when you submit a PDF it must remain completely intact to be machine readable, especially since the forms on a LiveCycle (XFA) document can have complex dependencies between pages.

PDF created with LiveCycle will not display

All the other PDF links in the email work. However, the document created with LiveCycle give me this error in Firefox. I have made all the updates according to Firefox for Adobe Reader and Java. Still receiving this. Any suggestions??? I can see it in Explorer but not firefox or Chrome. Not everyone that will get this particular document will use Explorer. Unfortunately, I need a fast answer.

Well, since I fixed it in Chrome, it works for me. However, my partner beside me doesn't have Chrome and he gets the same generic screenshot that I had earlier, even though we made the changes in his Firefox. We're baffled...... The interactive form is the only form we can't pull.

How to view PDF files like a flipping magazine?

Hi, I am new here. I didn't know if it is the optimum catagory for my question, I hope you guys will help me.
In brief, I want to view PDF files like a flipping magazine. You know, just the same flipping effect that ibook did on ios. Adobe reader is the only choice to browse PDF on computer for me. It's kind of bothering and annoying now.
So, any ideas for that? Plus, my computer runs on win7 64bit.

This is also a good site: http://www.issuu.com/ You can sign up and use it for free or you can upgrade(for a price) to make custom changes (like background color, button color, etc.) You can also embed the html code into your website if you would like someone to view it there. Good luck!

Unable to save LiveCycle PDF form in Adobe Reader: Steps on Adobe don't work

I went to follow the steps provided in the help video on Adobe. Two issues I couldn't solve:
How do you login to LiveCycle via the web as an admin? How do you get to the LiveCycle admin portal?
The local host (http://localhost:8080/ReaderExtensions) is unavailable. Every time I try to go there I get a 500 error message page. What is the new local host?
The steps I followed were:
So according to a video on its official website, in order to enable LiveCycle forms in Reader so they can be saved you need an Adobe Reader Extension which means we need a Reader Extension Credential loaded onto the server. For that you need to purchase a Reader extension license from Adobe.
However, there is a trial version Eric or Jay could instal for me on the Remote Desktop. They can find it at:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle.html
They will want to download the “Trial Reader Extensions Certificate” under “Downloads and updates”. It’s a 30 day trial which should work fine for our needs.
The credential then needs to be imported into the Adobe Administrator. To do that they need to:
Login to LiveCycle as an admin (via the web?)
Go to “Settings"
Go to “Trust store management”
Go to “Local credentials”
Click “Import"
Trust store type should be “Reader Extensions Credential”
Give it a name (i.e. Alias)
Browse to credential file
.pfx is the credential file
.txt is the password
Right-click the .txt
Click “Open”
Copy password from notepad
Close notepad
Open the .pfx file
Paste in password copied from .txt file under “Password” in import form
Click OK
Then there’s something about going to Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions program (http://localhost:8080/ReaderExtensions). Don’t ask. I’m personally lost at this point.
In Extensions program they need to:
Select the Extensions credential
Click the check box next to
“Basic form fill-in”
“Import and export data”
“Submit outside of web browser”
“Database and web service connectivity”
“Digital Signatures”
“Commenting”
“Online Commenting"
Set “Draft Level” to “Final”
Click the check box next to “Full Save”
“Browse” to the SNAP Survey I created and saved on the server.
Click “Apply”
In new window that appears:
Click “Download”
Save back to the server

If you're on the machine that's running LC the administrator console is http://localhost:8080/adminui
If you're not able to get to localhost:8080/ReaderExtensions then I suspect the LiveCycle server is not on your machine. If that's the case you'll have to find out the name of the server running LiveCycle and connect using that name instead of localhost.

Can you move a magazine app designed by another company to Adobe DPS?

My company had a digital company (who shall remain nameless) produce their magazine app under the (digital company's) information. I want to transfer everything over to Adobe DPS because frankly, this digital company did not live up to their promises, have terrible customer service, and are strictly just adding buttons to a pdf (not interactive at all). With that said, do I need to start from scratch and build a new app? Or can I just obtain the app that's already been created? If not, do I just tell the other company to delete our app? Thanks!

If you move to DPS you'll wind up building a new application using our tools and submitting that to Apple as an update to the existing application. Your readers will see an update to the app and when they download it they'll have the new version.
What is more complicated to sort out is whether readers would still be entitled to content they'd previously purchased. That depends a lot on you previous setup, how the previous product handled purchases, etc.

Is LiveCycle only a part of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro EXTENDED, or does it come with the pro version too?

Sorry, I know this is dated but my company doesnt offer Acrobat X (yet. It is currently pending approval from IT). Anyway, I am wondering if the Livecycle designer program comes with the Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional version or just the Extended which I cannot get? This is very important as I will be using it to create a form (literally just one form lol).
Thanks

Designer ES is distributed with both Acrobat 9 Pro and Acrobat 9 Pro Extended for Windows.

Adobe Livecycle Submit Problems

I am using Adobe Livecycle ES. Putting a button on a page to submit the form.   However although it appears to save the settings it sends the form to a different address and in a different format. I can even start a blank form set it to email address NEW and submit as XML and when submitting it sends to email address OLD and as a PDF.
Where is it picking these settings up from ? ? ?

Hi All-
I have an extremely frustrating problem. I have designed a form in LiveCycle ES 8.2.1 for users to fill out and submit via xml. I would like to use Acrobat Pro 9.1.0 to track and collect responses from this form. When I test the original form, the submit button works perfectly and it opens my email client (Groupwise) attaches the xml and populates the To, Subject, and Body fields perfectly.
The problem comes when I try to use Acrobat to distribute and track the forms. It creates a filed called 'form_distributed' that adds a bunch of code that completely screws up my form submission. When the form_distributed is filled out, and the user clicks the submit button, Groupwise 6.5.7 is invoked, but I get a 'Check Names' dialog box that states
"Windows Messaging does not recognize "1. Double-click the attachment".
After I click cancel on that dialog box, the JavaScript Debugger shows:
Exception in line 63 of function top_level, script XFA:form1[0]:p1[0]:Button1[0]:click
RaiseError: One of the specified recipients is not resolvable.
Doc.submitForm:63:XFA:form1[0]:p1[0]:Button1[0]:click
===> One of the specified recipients is not resolvable.
The distributed version has this extra code inserted
< script contentType="application/x-javascript">//@@SUBMITURL "mailto:[email protected]?subject=Submitting Completed Form&body=Instructions to add this form to a responses file:\n1. Double-click the attachment.\n2. Acrobat will prompt you to select a responses file.&ui=false"
and further down....
// submit the form
if (bContinue) {
    var rawURL = "[email protected]?subject=Submitting Completed Form&body=Instructions to add this form to a responses file:\n1. Double-click the attachment.\n2. Acrobat will prompt you to select a responses file.&ui=false";
    var submitURL;
    if (app.viewerVersion < 9.0)
        submitURL = "mailto:" + rawURL;
    else
        submitURL = "mailto:" + escape(rawURL);
    currentDoc.submitForm({
        cURL: submitURL,
        cSubmitAs: "PDF"
    });
}
Are these lines of code always inserted when the form is distributed?
How can I distribute and track these responses?
Does this tie in to Acrobat.com, and is that required to gather responses in this method?
It seems to be reading
"[email protected]?subject=Submitting Completed Form&body=Instructions to add this form to a responses file:\n"
as the first email address and then getting hung up on the body and interpreting it as an incomplete email address.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How do I write a specific IF statement in Adobe LiveCycle's FormCalc?

I am trying to use an IF / ELSEIF formula in FormCalc to autopopulate a text field in a table, but I keep getting a syntax error. Could someone please help?
My table has 2 rows and 2 columns. I named each cell (using Binding) in Column 1 as Data1 and Data2 respectively. Both cells in Column 1 contain a dropdown menu of numbers 1, 2, and 3. I want to create a FormCalc IF expression in Column 2 so that when the user selects a "1" in the Data1 cell, the cell adjacent to it in Column 2 autopopulates to "Yes". Then if they select a "2", the adjacent cell becomes "No", and if they select a "3", the adjacent cell is "Unknown". Then, I want to do the same thing for the Data2 cell and its adjacent cell in Column 2.
Here is the expression that I've tried using for the first row (it doesn't work). (The second row in Column 2 [next to Data2] has the same formula, except Data1 is replaced with Data2.)
if (Data1 = 1) then
"Yes"
elseif (Data1 = 2) then
"No"
elseif (Data1 = 3) then
"Unknown"
endif
Can anyone spot where my syntax error is and how to fix it? I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!

Well thank you! This actually pointed me in the right direction, however the adjacent cell is still not autopopulating depending on the number that is selected in Data1.
I renamed the cells (in binding) for simplicity:
Data1
qqq1
Data2
qqq2
I used this code (based on your code, just with minor tweaking):
if (Data1.rawValue == 1) then
qqq1.rawValue == "Yes";
elseif (Data1.rawValue == 2) then
qqq1.rawValue == "No" ;
elseif (Data1.rawValue == 3) then
qqq1.rawValue == "Unknown";
endif
Given the table above, with this code I do not receive an error like I did before with my erroneous code. This part is good! However, qqq1 still is not autopopulating to "Yes", "No", or "Unknown" when I select the different options in the dropdown of Data1. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong! I put the code into the Data1 cell, under the "exit" option and in the FormCalc language. Do the cells need to be formatted a certain way? Data1 and Data2 are both dropdown cells, and I have qqq1 and qqq2 as Text Fields with a Calculated-Read Only value.
Is there something else that needs to be done? I am a beginner at LiveCycle and the FormCalc language. So any step-by-step help you can provide to the newbie will be extremely appreciated! Thanks! :-)

Older magazine downloads disappear from 'Newstand'..

Hi,
I am very sorry if this is the wrong area to post this question but I looked for a long time without being able to find an appropriate place to star this discussion. I am a current subscriber to Thrasher Skateboarding magazine, and WIRED magazine.. and I like the concept of Newstand.. however whenever I download the new issue of a magzine it appears in 'Newstand' in replacement of the prebious issues or any magazines I have. So I never have any more then 1 magazine on the shelf at a time. For insstane I downloaded the October issue of WIRED... and it appeared in Newstand, and then when the November issue came out and I downloaded it.. the October issue disappeared and the new issue was the only one there. None of my other magazine downloads are in it either. Leaving me with only one magazine in Newstand at any given time.
Can anyone explain why this is to me and how I fix it so all magazines (from subscribtion and one of purposes as well) appear in Newstand?
Thankyou in advance for any help.

Hi there. Each of the magazines in Newsstand are actually individual apps in their own right. Newsstand is just a 'shelf' where these apps sit, instead of being on your desktop (like other non-magazine apps). Therefore, there's no way to set how the magazines behave collectively. Instead, each magazine is configured inside each app. For example, I have the Guardian Newspaoer app within Newsstand - in order to set how it shows previous editions, I have to go into the app via Newsstand, then go to settings within the app itself and set it to 'forget editions older than 1 week.' There is only ever one Guardian app in Newsstand and I access the various editions that I've downloaded within the Guardian App. Your magazines should work in the same way. Hope this helps.

Form Designed in LiveCycle will not work for End User

Please Help!
I am a newbie to Adobe LiveCycle but recognized the utility in the program, so decided to give it a while to try and streamline some of my employer's forms. After spending too much time learning how to design a form (much to the dislike of my boss), I am finally going to have to ask for some help. So here's the deal:
I've designed a dynamic pdf in LiveCycle with two master pages and two repeating flowed subforms. The first repeating subform is basically an expanding table intended to be used as a photographer's log where they can log each photo taken with the camera. The expanding table has some code with a button at the top for the end user to enter the number of photos on the photo roll, click submit, and table expands to however many instances of rows are needed for each photo that was taken. The second subform is basically an image field and text fields used as photo captions/photo compilation pages. When the end user clicks submit on the first subform to expand the table, I also have javascript in that click event to also create same amouint of instances of the second subform (the photo compilation page(s)). Each text field for the photo caption on the second subform is populated by the data entered into the photo log table cells. I was able to find a script to correctly populate those fields for each instance of the table. Wish I had the form here, but it's at work at the moment.
My problem is this: I've scratched and clawed to get all of the forms expanding correctly and the scripts populating each instance of the fields correctly and everything works great in LiveCycle preview. I then saved the form as PDF for use by my field crew personnel (whom all use, at the very least, Adobe Pro 9, but most Pro X). I sent the new form to them and they move it to their desktop, open it with Adobe Pro, and populate all of the fields and everything works swimmingly. However, once they save it, it gets all jumbled and they can't even print it. We even thought we found a workaround by entering all data and printing to PDF, but even that has turned out to not work. I checked to make sure that I designed and saved the form in LiveCycle for use with the Adobe Pro versions, but still not working for my end users.
Anyone have any thoughts on my long explanation?? Please HELLLLPPPP!

The error(s) occur when trying to save the document. I want each user to tell the first page how many rows they will need in the photo log table, so they would enter however many photos were taken in the box: "Number of Photos on Roll:" ---> Then click the "Submit" cmd button. That should expand the table. Once it expands, it should also add the same amount of instances of the photo compilation page (2nd Page) as there are rows in 1st page table. Then the user will populate each cell of the table on page 1 with data. The data entered into the page 1 table cells will populate the text fields (photo caption) in Page 2 once the user clicks on the "Populate Captions!" cmd button in the lower left corner of the table on Page 1.
The problem is in the distributing of the form to the user so they can save the form after populating the data. I did a test run this morning and for some reason it did do the "print to PDF" correctly for 5 photos on the roll (though this has not been happening every time and especially for a large number of pages, ie. 80 photos). However, after entering the data for 5 rows on page 1 and then populating the 5 photo compilation pages, I saved a copy as "Save As PDF" and closed the document. Then re-opened the copy in Acrobat Pro X. The new copy:
-had 5 additional rows added to Page 1
-Duplicates of some of the fields
-Only retained the 1st instance of the Second Page (Photo w/ Caption) and not all fields were populated
Again, this all works fine in the LiveCycle Preview but not anywhere else. I do not have this set up to be linked to an external data source (YET) but there is javascript in the cmd buttons. I also do not want to distribute this form to end users and then collect the data back from them. I want them to be able to save a copy of my LiveCycle designed form, open in Adobe Pro, populate the data and save as many copies as needed for form production.

From inDesign to Magazine (Understanding the process - Indesign - In5 - Bakerframework -)

     Hello there, firstly I'd just like to say thanks so much for taking the time to help me (and maybe others who read this forum and have the same confusion) on how to go about these issues.
     I am incredibly new with creating Newsstand apps and have a very rough idea on how to create a Magazine to send off to the Newsstand application as affordable as possible. But, nevertheless, here is what my concept consists of.
     A: Create the particular "Issue" via inDesign
     B: Export the issue with "in5" to an HPUB format (Link to plugin - http://ajarproductions.com/pages/products/in5/?ref=footer)
     C: One thing I need help on - Import the .json created from in5 to Bakerframwork via xCode. (Anyone know any tutorials or exactly whats happening when I do this?)
     - From there I am under the assumption it some how links up with your actual "Magazine App" (What downloads when you click on the magazine name in the Newsstand store") How's this work?
     Now, when it actually comes to the application it's self (Issue container section) is where I get pretty nervous. I do not consider myself an App developer and am
     pretty much completely confused on what to do when it comes to this. I've been looking at alternative methods for being able to create that Magazine app / Issue purchaser / container section and have come across a template container (Link to site - http://www.appdesignvault.com/newsstand-app-ios/ ) and was hoping this would work with the HPUB i've generated out of in5. Does baker framework still need to be used? (Just a bit confused on exactly what bakerframework does)
     I am trying my hardest to completely understand what's actually happening throughout this process but the way I am going about it seems to be only one way out of plenty to actually create a Newsstand app. So, what I suppose I need help on is what are the file extensions that are generated when I export them? What is the file extension of the "issue" and how does it link to my "Magazine app" and how does this all tie in with baker framework?

You ought to be able to clip the black in photoshop so 97% outputs at 100% using levels or curves. Not knowing what the page looks like otherwise I couldn't say if this will be successful with the gradient or if you'd lose other sahodw details, but if it's going to press you probably don't really need to worry about it -- the dot gain on 97% will probably plug it up on the paper anyway.

Digital Publishing and Interactivity with digital magazine on my own server

Hello... I am researching what would be the best plan of action for my project... need to design a digital magazine for the web that is interactive and has rich media like video, animations, etc.
I am thinking of doing the following... design my animations in Edge Animate that will output html5 friendly animations, then use Indesign to design my master digital magazine like the way I want to with embedded rich media and symbols that have interactivity options.
I am unsure of my next step, or if I am on the right track... should I bring in this Indesign file as a format compatible with Html5, CSS3, Wordpress or what? And use Jquery plugins within the overall structure to add flash like effects.
Any suggestions?
