Multiple subforms, only 1 of which will load when the PDF is opened.
I am new to LIvecycle Designer, and have had no problems so far that I could not resolve via Google or trial and error. Now I have an issue for which I cannot find an answer.
I have created a fillable form, 2 pages, that will handle input of various numeric values. In an effort to keep the size down, on each page I have a subform that will hold some of the calculations, with the total captured on the main page. That portion works fine--capturing the calculations from the subforms on the main page. The problem comes in opening the subforms. I created a button for each subform, that when clicked will make the subform visible. Each subform has a close button to make invisible. By default each subfom is set as hidden. The problem is, when I open the file, I can only open one subform. If I open then close the subform on the first page then I cannot open the subform on the second page (I can click the button but nothing happens). If I reopen the file, and open and close the subform on the second page, then I cannot open the subform on the first page. It seems there is some conflict in the background that causes the first form opened to "deactivate" the second form, for lack of a better term. I used the action builder to handle the open and close operations.
I receive no error message, and there is no conflict in names between subforms or buttons. I even tried a test form with 3 subforms to see if maybe I messed up in my first form, but I am seeing the same result.
Any ideas?
Hi,
Are all your subforms flowed layout, including the top one and do they allow page break within content?
If you can add a link to you form (maybe google docs or similar) then we can have a look.

Creating a pop-up in Acrobat X that is triggered when the PDF is opened.
Hello all,
I am wanting to create a pop-up that is triggered when the PDF is opened.
The problem I am facing is that our customers are filling out the packet , but are not using the purple "Submit" button located at the top of the page to submit the form to us. They are instead printing out the form and faxing it to us, or scanning and emailing the packet, which defeats the whole purpose of it being a fillable, distributed pdf.
The email invitation that they receive is a bit wordy so I have have pared that down as well. To be honest with the amount of "Read this first" pop ups that we are exposed to daily I think that our customers are simply not reading the instructions properly.
There was a post here in the forums but the expanation was for Acrobat 7 or 8.
Any help is appreciated.Thank you for the quick response George. I guess a better way communicate what I need to accomplish is "how"
I went to the toolbar on the right, then "javascript", then "Document Java Scripts". That opened a window that had me name the script, then add it, then put in the scripting (see below). I do not know how to "place it in a document-level JavaScript (outside of a function definition) or in the initial page's Page Open event."
This is the script I am attempting to use.
var message = "When you have completed filling out the Tax Organizer, click on the purple "SUBMIT" button at the top of the page. This will automaticall submit your Tax Organizer for you. Be sure to print a copy for your files"
app.alert(msg,3);
If you could provide some step by steps that would be super.
I am wanting this pop-up box to open and the client will have to then click on the "ok" button to make it dissapear so that they can then fill out the PDF.
The "Submit" button is auto created for me when I choose to distribute the form, I am unaware of any way to move it.
I feel that my issue is a elementary one, I am currently working through the Adobe Classroom in a Book lessons as all my acrobat skills have been self taught. -
I am using DynamicPDF to render a PDF. There are multiple check boxes which are checked. When the PDF is opened in Firefox, none of the check boxes are checked. However, when I save the PDF and open with Adobe, check boxes are checked. There might be a problem with the Firefox built in PDF viewer as the built in PDF viewer for other browsers work fine.
Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu if you want to display PDF documents in Firefox with another application (i.e. not the built-in PDF Viewer).

Inserting soundtracks in pdf that play automatically when the pdf is opened
Hi,
I am trying to insert an audio to a pdf that plays automatically plays when the pdf is opened (with Adobe). I am using Adobe Reader on a PC.
I could do it manually (Comments - Record Audio), but I cant get it to work automatically (i.e. without clicking on the audio symbol)
Is there anything I can do in the preferences I can do to change this?
Thanks,
KishYou can turn mail off in the settings but then you can't use it for anything, including the "test" that you want to perform.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Account Name>Mail>Off. That totally turns off the mail account.
As long as mail is turned on and you launch the app, it will look for an download new mail. -
How do I create a PDF from ID, so that when the PDF is opened in Reader, the text is editable?
Three different members of Adobe Support have unfortunately been unable to resolve this problem so I am pinning all of my hopes on my fellow users! Please Help!
I have been sent a PDF by my client (created via their previous agency) which when opened in Reader (not Acrobat) enables me to edit the existing text (in the existing fonts, granted only Helvetica) and re-save it as a hi-res PDF.
I have tried virtually everything to get this to work without success, I can create 'editable fields' but this deletes the existing text and inserts a blank box over the top which I can type into with the default 'Times'.
What will ultimately happen is that I will design the documents in English and then they will be uploaded to an ftp for download at various offices around the world. Therefore they need to translate what we have written but retain the same document design.
I know this is possible because I have the PDF in front of me, I also know that PDFs in essence weren't designed to be editable but apparently it is now achievable and very useful if I can get the blasted thing to work
Very many thanks, your opinions will be most appreciated!
Regards
AdamskidogWell, everything in those PDFs were form fields. You can make form fields in Acrobat - and then you can right-click on 'em and change their appearance, whether or not they'll accept rich text input, whether or not they'll scroll, and so on. It could also be done in LiveCycle Designer, for what it's worth. I wrote a now-obsolete post about this in response to yours before Mike showed up with this video.
Probably most of your work on your designs in InDesign would need to be trashed; you'd need to rebuild the whole thing in Acrobat or LiveCycle. I have to say that, unless your targeted documents are extremely simple, that this is one of the worst document translation workflows I've ever seen in the last fifteen years. It might work - I'm trying to keep an open mind, here - but if you have any non-Latin-script languages in your target list, or if print reproduction is what you're after, or if you're expecting tracking revisions to the translations to be anything but a nightmare, I would suggest that you test this method inside and out before progressing any further. -
It works all my other TV's except my Magnavox 39 inch. i have made sure that the resolutions are compatible.
Yay! Solved my own question; just did a hard shutdown, worked like a charm! Funny, didn't before. But who am I to question salvation?

When interactive pdf opens in browser window can the pdf links open in separate windows
Problem is the pdf works ok when it opens in the browser window, BUT the links in the pdf don't open in separate browser windows, as they do when the pdf is downloaded as a file.
If pdf links can only open in separate browser window when the pdf itself opens as a separate file, the how do I email a pdf download link on a website.Hello Yesh,
you can open PDFs as a guest user (without authentification):
1. Allow Guest Access (Admin -> Security Configuration -> Check "Allow Guest Access" and select a folder name).
2. Copy your Report into this guest folder
3. You can open the Report as PDF with a link like this:
http://(bip-server-name):9704/xmlpserver/(guest-folder-name)/(report-name)/(report-name).xdo?_xpt=0&_xf=pdf&_xmode=4(&report-parameters)
Just replace the strings in brackets. You find a great description of the URL parameters in Tim Dexters Blog
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2006/07/accessing_xmlp_enterprise_repo.html
I didn't find an option to set the height of the PDF-Output for the guest user in the BIP-UI. Maybe I missed something. But you can manually edit the configuration file. It is located on your BIP server direcory in the subdirectory xmlp/XMLP/Users. Select the guest users subdirectory and edit the configuration file "user~.profile".
In this XML config file there is an entry "viewerHeight". In the Value-Tag you can enter the PDF output windows height in pixel (but unfortunaly not in % - this was the question of my original posting).
Hope that helps...

Removing the "Security Warning" dialogue box on default when a PDF is opened
Hey
I have created a pdf document with a specific data written using iText Libraries. I have actually created a beacon that generates a notification sent to the owner's email when the pdf is opened.
The code is under OpenAction. The problem I am facing is that as I open the document, a dialogue box is opened saying "Security Warning" The document is trying to connect to : URL. How do I get rid of this dialogue box. ? I don't want this dialogue box to appear and allow the connection by default. I have tried playing with the Trust Manager - but that doesn't seem to be the solution, as am trying to execute my PDF document at a remote machine.There was a lot of media fuss years back when it was found out that PDF files could "phone home", i.e. do what you want to do. So Adobe put this warning in. It wouldn't be much good as a warning if the creator of a PDF could choose to turn it off!
Document creators like to track people opening documents. Privacy advocates consider this a breach of privacy. The latter group shouts louder. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoning_home -
why my firefox stopped loading when I want to open a new tab? this will continue if I do not move the mouse. this is also happen when I download. if I does not move the mouse, the download process stops or stagnant ormanaged to download but not full
hey, just to keep you updated - there is now a fix available for firefox 25, which should address the particular problem of pages not loading unless the mouse is moved.
if you have downgraded to firefox 24 to work around the issue, please go to ''firefox > options > advanced > update'' and turn automatic updates back on. then go to ''firefox > help > about firefox'' which should trigger the update to firefox 25.0.1.
<br>in case you need to download the setup file for firefox 25.0.1 separately you can do so from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/channel/#firefox -

If I load a video on a nano to give out at a business conference can recipients see the video when they open the device? I was told it will wipe when a new user opens the device.
No, it will wipe it when they try to connect it to a computer and set it up under their own Apple ID. When they turn on the device the first time without connecting it to anything they will be able to see the video.

My COM add-in is developed using VS 2010 and VB. It's a shared COM add-in (not VSTO) and it works with Excel 2007 - 2013. My installer is signed with a code signing certificate but it would appear that my add-in's .dll should also be signed if the user has
checked the "Require application add-ins to be signed by a trusted publisher" option.
The "Sign the assembly" option is checked in my add-in's VB -> My Project -> Signing. I have a .snk file selected which I seem to recall generating 6 or 7 years ago when I ported the COM add-in from VB6 to .NET.
I have an up-to-date Comodo code signing certificate (a pfx file called MyCompanyCodeSigningCertificatePrivateKey.pfx) which I purchased to use with the installer and was wondering if and how I could use this.
I tried selecting my pfx file in the My Project -> Signing -> "Choose a strong name key file" dialog. It made a copy of the pfx file in my project folder but when I tried to build the project, I got the following error:
Error 1 Cannot import the following key file: MyCompanyCodeSigningCertificatePrivateKey.pfx. The key file may be password protected. To correct this, try to import the certificate again or manually install the certificate to the Strong Name CSP with the
following key container name: VS_KEY_C0B6F251F0FB6016
After a little research, I found out I might be able to use signtool to sign the dll in a post-build step.
I added the following command to the post-build event, before the command I use to regasm the assembly.
"path to signtool\signtool" sign /f "MyCompanyCodeSigningCertificatePrivateKey.pfx" /p "xxxx" /v "$(TargetPath)"
When I built the project, the dll appeared to get signed (the output window showed a bunch of confirming text as well as "Successfully signed: c:\MyAddIn\bin\Release\MyAddIn.dll") but the next step in the post-build (regasm myaddin.dll /codebase)
issued a warning RA0000 (see below) but reported "Types registered successfully".
Here's the message I get from regasm, even though the output window says the dll was sucessfully signed:
RegAsm : warning RA0000: Registering an unsigned assembly with /codebase can cause your assembly to interfere with other applications that may be installed on the same computer. The /codebase switch is intended to be used only with signed assemblies. Please give your assembly a strong name and re-register it.
Types registered successfully
I'm not using a shim if that makes a difference.
How do I sign my add-in so it loads when the user has checked "Require application add-ins to be signed by a trusted publisher"?
Any tips would be appreciated.Hello,
Why do you need to use the regasm utility from the post-build action?
There is a difference between signing the assembly with a strong name and digital signature. The
How to: Sign an Assembly with a Strong Name article in MSDN explains how to sign an assembly with a strong name (.snk). See
How to digitally sign a strong named assembly for adding a digital signature.

I run a mac air on a single user account but multiple people using it, which is ok for the situation. All have their accounts in the apple mail app. what is missing for me is a separate password to access the mail account. otherwise anyone can see anyones
Any clue, how i can add a mail account to apple mail app, but with separate password / pin to open it.
Years ago there was a program called mail switcher which added this functionality, but thats gone.
cheers
TomThey would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
Not a great solution.
Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently. -
