Shawn,
This may be a couple of known things; one is related to your specific installation (may have become corrupted if you did an upgrade from a previous version, especially if you upgraded from Beta?) Or, it may be related to a known SQL Server compatibility bug for which a hotfix will shortly be posted. (Problem with some Microsoft DLLs that get updated if you install SQL server).
If you have SQL Server installed, try looking on these forums for a patch that should be posted within the next 2 days. If not - please contact me directly, as I'd like to get someone on my development team to help look through your installation and see what the problem is, so we can fix this properly.

I am dealing with the same problem. I called Adobe technical support and spent hours to fix the problem but none worked. I tried to explain them the error might be caused by the Activation process but they just made me uninstall and install application several times.
When I start LiveCycle it gives the following error: adobe livecycle designer es has stopped working.
I start debugger to see what's going on and get the following exception: Unhandled exception at 0x773db663 in FormDesigner.exe: 0xC015000F: The activation context being deactivated is not the most recently activated one.
Does anyone know how to deactivate this product manually? Because deactivate menu is dimmed and I cannot deactivate product from the program. I believe if I can just remove activation info and activate it again this problem might disappear.
Thanks

Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES and Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

I recently purchased Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, it came with Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES. When I create a new document with Acrobat 9, it takes me right into LiveCycle for the design, which I do not mind. However, the properties for each field are very limited in comparaison with Acrobat 9. So, the file I create with LiveCycle I want to be able to open again with Acrobat 9 and reach the field properties with Acrobat 9, but the system does not allow me to do that. What am I doing wrong?

To force uppercase, enter the following in the change event as JavaScript (make sure JavaScipt is selected in the language dropdown list at the top right):
xfa.event.change = xfa.event.change.toUpperCase();
As you can see in the picture, there are many palettes available on the right side to edit fields. Hope this helps.

Acrobat XI is not distributed with Designer. Designer is now a separate product. You can create forms in Acrobat as an AcroForm or using Forms Central (an online forms program). You can print the form to a new PDF and then recreate the fields in Acrobat using the recognize form fields. You will likely have to fix the form fields, but that would be the process. Generally, once a form is taken to Designer, you can't bring it back without such steps.
Designer is available with AA8 - AAX, but since is a separate product as I indicated.

Additional Information
The form was created 10 or 11 months ago, and we are pretty sure that we were able to open it a while back
The same PDF file opens just fine in Windows 8.1 using Adober Reader XI 11,0.06, it is only the app that is affected.
The document cannot be opened by any other mobile app that we have tried or on another mobile OS (iOS)
Any ideas?

The user's assertion is surprising to me, but perhaps I'm missing something important. I thought the correct position was from the conclusion of my earlier post "it can't be done". Adobe state their Reader Touch doesn't support XFA (http://blogs.adobe.com/readermobile/2012/12/13/adobe-reader-for-windows-8-tablets/). Unless (see that blog entry) you changed the type of form.

Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES has stopped workin

After many projects with LiveCycle Designer, I get the following error message when trying to open any file that was created with the program: "Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Operating system: Windows 7. I removed and reinstalled CS4 Master adding back Acrobat 9. I also downloaded and installed 32-bit version of the executable file vcredist_x86.exe. Please help!

That could be due to a number of reasons so it's hard to pinpoint what caused the issue.

Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8 - Crash (Memory could not be "written")

I was using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.1 for the past half year. All of a sudden, it started to crash - Memory could not be "written".
During that period I heard quite a lot about Adobe's bugs, so I decided to install Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 hoping to see improvement over software stability and compatibility.
Of course I uninstalled the older verion, deleted the older file folders then did a clean-install of 8.0
Interesting enough, the first time I open up Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8, everything went normal. Without doing anything, I closed it then tryied to re-open it, the splash screen shows up then nothing happens - not a single error message.
Then I tried the following:
1. restarted PC. Tried the open-close-reopen squence, same thing happened.
2. uninstalled 8.0, deleted the folders, reinstalled 8.0. open-close-reopen, same thing happed.
2. uninstalled 8.0, deleted the folders, reinstalled 7.1. Open LiveCycle Designer 7.1 -> Crash (Memory could not be "written")
Findings:
1. the errors are consistent
2. it can open ONLY once, is this an activation issue? is there a corrupted file?

Well when I tried to open the sample project I got this error:
"Open project was cancelled or the application was unable to load database for "C:\PROGRAM FILES\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 8\RoboHTML\Samples\en_US\CCC\CCC.cpd""
I couldn't delete the CPD file because this client has locked down the computer to the point where I cannot do anything more than view the files in the program folder. Without having the ability to write to the program files folder is it possible this is an issue? Or is it ok that I do all the creating content in the RoboHelp Project on the C drive?
It allowed me to copy the Sample folder to the RoboHelp Project folder on the C drive. I deleted the CPD file then opened it without a problem. I created a topic and added some content, but nothing happened. When RH8 crashed before there was no rhyme or reason and I cannot duplicate the error. Just seems very sponataneous.
I need to finish the style guide project today, but I will also play with the sample folder and see if (1) it happens again and (2) if I can figure out how to duplicate the error consistently. The first 2 times I had been in the new topic and wrote several paragraphs without saving it. Can't remember how long from topic creation to crash. And I can't remember if it crashed on trying to save or not, but I'm pretty sure I had not tried to save prior to the crash.

How to install fonts in Adobe Livecycle Designer

Hi All,
   I want to install new fonts in adobe LiveCycle designer.
   I installed this fonts in Control Panel >Fonts>File -->Install New Fonts and it is possible to see them in Livecycle Designer but when i preview the adobe print form this not work.

You can also add fonts obtained from other vendors. The types of fonts you can add are OpenType® (.otf), TrueType® (.ttf), and PostScript® Type 1 (.pfb/.pfm).
So the question is how can i install new fonts so as to use in Adobe Forms?
I will appreciate any help and documentations about.
Thank you,

ADOBE LiveCycle Designer 8 - EMAIL SUBMIT BUTTON DOES NOT WORK

I created a new form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8, but the email submit button, nor a regular button assigned with a 'submit' function will do anything. It should initiate a new Outlook email but it does not. My default programs are set correctly (default email program and the default "mailto" program are set to Outlook). This document was created not only with ALC8, but on a Windows Vista PC with MS Office 2007. I ran a test to see if it would work on a WinXP SP2 machine with Office 2003 and it still did not work.
Can anyone help?

Alan
Though not an expert, I've created a few forms with the Submit by Email button. If you've already done this then sorry for asking, but did you go through the Acrobat Distribution (Forms>Distribute Forms)process after creating the form in LC8? As far as I can tell the email submit button doesn't work without this stage.
This confirms the email submission address, then sets up a dataset to be saved in a location of your choice.
filename_dataset_0001.pdf
then a file type that can be edited, saved and submitted by Reader users:
filename_pub_0001.pdf
You can save this to your intranet server or email direct to the recipient.
When the submit button is then used you receive a copy of the whole form which on opening will prompt you to add it to the dataset. Receiving and adding multiple forms to the data set is straightforward. You will see them all listed in the viewer above the form itself. From here you can also then select and export the data to Excel via xml or as a csv file.
Note that any changes you make to the form should be to the original document and the distribution process repeated, otherwise the functionality of the form will be affected.
That's about the limit of my knowledge I'm afraid, therefore if you have already tried this and are still having problems then hopefully someone else can help out.

Problem with expanding textfield in Adobe LiveCycle Designer

I've got an urgent problem with Adobe LiveCycle Designer and I really could use some help. The problem is that I'm trying to get my textfield expandable, but whatever I try, it's not working. What I'm trying to get done is that you can fill in a textfield, and when there is more text than the size of the field, the textfield expands to make the text fit in the field.
I tried a whole lot of things:
placing the textfield in a subform
expand to fit (height)
allow multiple lines
allow page breaks
flowed/positioned
etc.
The strange thing is, that no matter what I try to adjust, I can't change anything in the pagination tab. Maybe that is the problem, but I don't know what to do, to change that.
In the examples of Adobe itself (Purchase Form) is an example of a textfield that sort of behaves as I want it to, BUT the problem is that that textfield in the subform has to be triggered to appear by a button (add comments) and that is what I don't want. I want the textfield to be visible from the beginning. But in that example you CAN see the pagination tab and make changes in it.
I searched a lot in the Adobe Helpfiles of Designer, and I even bought and read/studied the book 'Creating Dynamic Forms with Adobe LiveCycle Designer', but still I'm not able to get this done.
Is there anyone who can help me?
Thanks in advance,
Sterre

I am creating my first .pdf with no training. I first converted a word doc of our form into a .pdf. Modified everything and thought I was the "bomb" for figuring it out. Then I tried to use the form and where I had "allowed multiple lines" I realized that it would allow that but not display it or print it except for what was showing.
In researching for a solution, this site said to use "expand to fit". After much frustration I realized that this feature is only available if you created the form from scratch in adobe.
I have figured out, somewhat, how to create the form and get the field to move with the text but I need the entire form to adjust to the input. Can't have one specific field expand into the rest of the form.
I did some more research on this site, and it looks like the solution has something to do with 'subforms'. No idea what to do.
If anyone knows if there is a way to do this with a converted doc (since I already have that completed) I would GREATLY appreciate it. If it isn't possible, could someone walk me through how to do it or provide a reference for a "barney style" walk through?
Appreciate ANY assistance you can provide. THANKS! Guess I need to sign up for an Adobe Pro class. BTW I'm working on LiveCyle 8.0
