Nice! Multilingual forms?

Nice work, guys. I've been evaluating this APTT for a couple of days and it's working pretty well.
I'm just wondering about support for multi-lingual forms, including non-ASCII characters.
There is a line in the System requirements, "While ATTP is only provided in English, it may be run in all multilingual and localized environments". I'm not sure exactly what this means, but I'm not expecting ATTP to be translated I'm merely expecting it to return the non-English texts from my form.
My non-English labels are not 7-bit ASCII clean, so I end up with CheckPoints in QTP that test caption.value.text.value for "FranÃ§ais" rather than the form's value "Français", etc.
This looks very much like an encoding problem, but I haven't found a way to sync up the encoding between the form and QTP, either programmatically or manually. I've looked through the XFA specs, etc. I'm testing an XML dynamic form using Adobe Reader (no browser), and the form's font (from its properties) is MyriadPro, encoding: Ansi.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Brent

Hi John,
I was bitten again recently by the comparator's character-encoding bug.
Even if we restrict the data-set to English only, that still doesn't prevent our expected data from containing non-ASCII characters.
Has there been any feedback on a workaround or a fix?

Creating multilingual forms

Hi there,
I have created a number of dynamic forms using livecycle designer which are being sucessfully used in our organisation.
As we are a global organisation I now want to implement these forms in other global offices, however we require the forms to be sent to our UK office in English for review. I have 2 questions:
1. Is there a way to build into a dynamic PDF form a function where you can select the language which in turn displays and all the fields in the form in the relevant language?
2. Is there any way of easily translating the information that is entered into a form from another language into English at the click of a button using a finction within the form? If not can anybody recommend any translation software that is compatable with adobe reader?
Many thanks
Lee

Hi,
here's a sample for a multilingual form.

Multilingual Forms and Reports

I'm looking for a tool, which can add multilingual capability to forms and reports. I found only one, called OraMuLaS.
Is there anyone who can tell me something about this tool?

Hello Frank,
thanks for your help. But if I understand it correctly, the translation hub has some limitaions:
- you'll need to deploy your application on WEB - no client/server
- any translation made, generates a seperate forms module; you can't use the same module for different languages
- if you need to a new translation, you need to build a new form module with the translation hub
- you can't change translations on the fly (during runtime)
So I think the oramulas tool might be better!?
You can find it under www.fairsys.de.
I did not test it now. So can't tell any experience for now.

MULTILINGUAL FORMS IN FORMS 4.5

Hi , I developed a system in Portuguese language , in Brazil . But now i need to export this system to others countries. I'm very happy with this but my ideas about how to do it is very poor .
Here are my ideas :
1.I have to create tables with an identification of every Text Field that I'll have in any forms . In the forms instead of create Text Fields I'll read this table and fill de Text Field before show to user .
How will be the execution time ?
2.I could create diferents Block in the forms for each language that I'll need . Depending on language I'll show the correct block .
I'd like to receive others ideas better than mine . Please if you could help me .
Thanks in advance ,
Lourival

You might want to look at a product called Oracle Translation Manager. This tool eases the translation and can be done for as many languages as you want. Moreover, it has got its own Configuration manager tool in it.
Hope this helps

Multilingual form

hi all
i have to make a forms-web-application for 2 different languages.
does forms support something to realise this?
i don't want to copy all the forms and replace the text.
a.e. on a jsp i can include a 'language-file' corresponding to the browser-settings. the language-file contains rows of type: varName = value; the browser uses the right file by itself.
the language must not be set by the browser. i could assign a language to each user and use this instead of the browsersettings.
any hints?

Stefan,
actually you are right that it is not the best way for a tool to enforce a specific character set to be used. The problem is that teh TranslationHub desing operates on ASCII characters and no binaries, which means that a changed character set in teh database will garbage all data input by TranslationHub. We are working on addressing this in the future in a complete new development basing it on UTF8.
TranslationHub is the productization of a tool internally used to translate Oracle own products and as such we did not have a choice to handle thus restriction. So for the time being you would have to create a database instance that uses teh required character set. As said, I know that this is poor, but we cannot fix it in teh current TranslationHub release.

I need to create a form in Hindi language. How to achieve this? Please help

Nothing specially needed to develop except Hindi font installed on the development machine.
However in order to view the form, the end users must have installed Adobe Reader Extended Languages font support pack.

I want to create a form in IWeb can you help?

I need to create a form page in Iweb on my website for visitors to complete and submit back to me.
A Club membership application form.
Anyone able to help??

There are online form sites that you can use like JotForm, Wufoo, etc. Jotform creates some very nice looking forms which you can embed into an iWeb page. The free package gives you 100 submissions per month and 10 SSL secure submissions per month. Over those numbers you will need to pay a monthly fee.
Here are examples of Jotform and Wufoo forms: Embedding Forms
Or you can create your own Form Action form which uses the visitor's own email client to send the information. This is not best integrated method to obtain the information. An example of this type of form is also on the page linked to above.

Restricting data entry to a particular language in the form

Hi,
I created a multilingual form in which all the fields of the form are in a particular language . Now am trying to restrict data entry in the form to that language at the client side only . Say if it is a form in french, can we restrict the data entry to french only . The approach i was trying to implement was adding a script against the change event of all data fields and see if the characters lie in the range of the language unicode character set . But have not been successful in it yet . Can anybody help me find some way or provide any sample for it ?
Thanks

Hello, I'm German
Probably you can restrict the characters used for text entry, so for example ü is allowed in the German form but not in French.
But you will NEVER be able to restrict the users staying only writing French in French forms 100%.
1) You sometimes, not often, do encounter letters that are not typical for the language. (Though it can appear in any kind of word, it's quite regular for names.)
2) Let's say I fill the French form. I encounter a problem when I type in the word "Müller". This word wouldn't be French at all. The text will be delted and probably given an error message. Well... I learn out of this error message. Next time I'll type Mueller. ^^
(I knew several pages were people were restricted to talk English by forbidding letters that were not used in English very often... That didn't stop us violating that rule. The only error that really bugged us wasn't the restriction in not using letters that don't exist in English but the "please don't swear or insult so." error that kept appearing for ex. when we used the German word for "that" (= "dass"). They just didn't like the last 3 letters.)
3) Many countries have the same or include other countries unicodes. For example English could be written in the German form or in the French form.
4) You can't get out the syslanguage as far as I know. This would be a great hint which language the person is using.
5) I don't think you can use the spellcheck in any way... great violation against spellchecking could also be a hint for another language.
I know a quite big internetcommunity which did try to accomplish the same as you do. After about 2 years and a lot of experiments they stopped their efforts and were content by popping up the random error-messages warning that you don't have to insult, just like those other communities mentioned above. ^^ (Though they tried to restrict the insulting parts to the language used that didn't work out. Too many people knew how to insult in other languages ;D or which words were similar to insults.)
People just never do what they are supposed to do and are quite nasty finding workarounds...
My advice to you would be:
Don't make the effort.
Sorry for not being able to provide you with a solution, but the opposite.

VMQ issues with NIC Teaming

Hi All
Apologies if this is a long one but I thought the more information I can provide the better.
We have recently designed and built a new Hyper-V environment for a client, utilising Windows Server R2 / System Centre 2012 R2 however since putting it into production, we are now seeing problems with Virtual Machine Queues. These manifest themselves as
either very high latency inside virtual machines (we’re talking 200 – 400 mSec round trip times), packet loss or complete connectivity loss for VMs. Not all VMs are affected however the problem does manifest itself on all hosts. I am aware of these issues
having cropped up in the past with Broadcom NICs.
I'll give you a little bit of background into the problem...
Frist, the environment is based entirely on Dell hardware (Equallogic Storage, PowerConnect Switching and PE R720 VM Hosts). this environment was based on Server 2012 and a decision was taken to bring this up to speed to R2. This was due to a number
of quite compelling reasons, mainly surrounding reliability. The core virtualisation infrastructure consists of four VM hosts in a Hyper-V Cluster.
Prior to the redesign, each VM host had 12 NICs installed:
Quad port on-board Broadcom 5720 daughter card: Two NICs assigned to a host management team whilst the other two NICs in the same adapter formed a Live Migration / Cluster heartbeat team, to which a VM switch was connected with two vNICs exposed to the
management OS. Latest drivers and firmware installed. The Converged Fabric team here was configured in LACP Address Hash (Min Queues mode), each NIC having the same two processor cores assigned. The management team is identically configured.
Two additional Intel i350 quad port NICs: 4 NICs teamed for the production VM Switch uplink and 4 for iSCSI MPIO. Latest drivers and firmware. The VM Switch team spans both physical NICs to provide some level of NIC level fault tolerance, whilst the remaining
4 NICs for ISCSI MPIO are also balanced across the two NICs for the same reasons.
The initial driver for upgrading was that we were once again seeing issues with VMQ in the old design with the converged fabric design. The two vNics in the management OS for each of these networks were tagged to specific VLANs (that were obviously accessible
to the same designated NICs in each of the VM hosts).
In this setup, a similar issue was being experienced to our present issue. Once again, the Converged Fabric vNICs in the Host OS would on occasion, either lose connectivity or exhibit very high round trip times and packet loss. This seemed to correlate with
a significant increase in bandwidth through the converged fabric, such as when initiating a Live Migration and would then affect both vNICS connectivity. This would cause packet loss / connectivity loss for both the Live Migration and Cluster Heartbeat vNICs
which in turn would trigger all sorts of horrid goings on in the cluster. If we disabled VMQ on the physical adapters and the team multiplex adapter, the problem went away. Obviously disabling VMQ is something that we really don’t want to resort to.
So…. The decision to refresh the environment with 2012 R2 across the board (which was also driven by other factors and not just this issue alone) was accelerated.
In the new environment, we replaced the Quad Port Broadcom 5720 Daughter Cards in the hosts with new Intel i350 QP Daughter cards to keep the NICs identical across the board. The Cluster heartbeat / Live Migration networks now use an SMB Multichannel configuration,
utilising the same two NICs as in the old design in two isolated untagged port VLANs. This part of the re-design is now working very well (Live Migrations now complete much faster I hasten to add!!)
However…. The same VMQ issues that we witnessed previously have now arisen on the production VM Switch which is used to uplink the virtual machines on each host to the outside world.
The Production VM Switch is configured as follows:
Same configuration as the original infrastructure: 4 Intel 1GbE i350 NICs, two of which are in one physical quad port NIC, whilst the other two are in an identical NIC, directly below it. The remaining 2 ports from each card function as iSCSI MPIO
interfaces to the SAN. We did this to try and achieve NIC level fault tolerance. The latest Firmware and Drivers have been installed for all hardware (including the NICs) fresh from the latest Dell Server Updates DVD (V14.10).
In each host, the above 4 VM Switch NICs are formed into a Switch independent, Dynamic team (Sum of Queues mode), each physical NIC has
RSS disabled and VMQ enabled and the Team Multiplex adapter also has RSS disabled an VMQ enabled. Secondly, each NIC is configured to use a single processor core for VMQ. As this is a Sum of Queues team, cores do not overlap
and as the host processors have Hyper Threading enabled, only cores (not logical execution units) are assigned to RSS or VMQ. The configuration of the VM Switch NICs looks as follows when running Get-NetAdapterVMQ on the hosts:
Name                           InterfaceDescription
Enabled BaseVmqProcessor MaxProcessors NumberOfReceive
Queues
VM_SWITCH_ETH01                Intel(R) Gigabit 4P I350-t A...#8 True    0:10             1

Production VM Switch           Microsoft Network Adapter Mult... True    0:0

Load is hardly an issue on these NICs and a single core seems to have sufficed in the old design, so this was carried forward into the new.
The loss of connectivity / high latency (200 – 400 mSec as before) only seems to arise when a VM is moved via Live Migration from host to host. If I setup a constant ping to a test candidate VM and move it to another host, I get about 5 dropped pings
at the point where the remaining memory pages / CPU state are transferred, followed by an dramatic increase in latency once the VM is up and running on the destination host. It seems as though the destination host is struggling to allocate the VM NIC to a
queue. I can then move the VM back and forth between hosts and the problem may or may not occur again. It is very intermittent. There is always a lengthy pause in VM network connectivity during the live migration process however, longer than I have seen in
the past (usually only a ping or two are lost, however we are now seeing 5 or more before VM Nework connectivity is restored on the destination host, this being enough to cause a disruption to the workload).
If we disable VMQ entirely on the VM NICs and VM Switch Team Multiplex adapter on one of the hosts as a test, things behave as expected. A migration completes within the time of a standard TCP timeout.
VMQ looks to be working, as if I run Get-NetAdapterVMQQueue on one of the hosts, I can see that Queues are being allocated to VM NICs accordingly. I can also see that VM NICs are appearing in Hyper-V manager with “VMQ Active”.
It goes without saying that we really don’t want to disable VMQ, however given the nature of our clients business, we really cannot afford for these issues to crop up. If I can’t find a resolution here, I will be left with no choice as ironically, we see
less issues with VMQ disabled compared to it being enabled.
I hope this is enough information to go on and if you need any more, please do let me know. Any help here would be most appreciated.
I have gone over the configuration again and again and everything appears to have been configured correctly, however I am struggling with this one.
Many thanks
Matt

Hi Gleb
I can't seem to attach any images / links until my account has been verified.
There are a couple of entries in the ndisplatform/Operational log.
Event ID 7- Querying for OID 4194369794 on TeamNic {C67CA7BE-0B53-4C93-86C4-1716808B2C96} failed. OidBuffer is failed. Status = -1073676266
And
Event ID 6 - Forwarding of OID 66083 from TeamNic {C67CA7BE-0B53-4C93-86C4-1716808B2C96} due to Member NDISIMPLATFORM\Parameters\Adapters\{A5FDE445-483E-45BB-A3F9-D46DDB0D1749} failed. Status = -1073741670
And
Forwarding of OID 66083 from TeamNic {C67CA7BE-0B53-4C93-86C4-1716808B2C96} due to Member NDISIMPLATFORM\Parameters\Adapters\{207AA8D0-77B3-4129-9301-08D7DBF8540E} failed. Status = -1073741670
It would appear as though the two GUIDS in the second and third events correlate with two of the NICs in the VM Switch team (the affected team).
Under MSLBFO Provider/Operational, there are also quite a few of the following errors:
Event ID 8 - Failing NBL send on TeamNic 0xffffe00129b79010
How can I find out what tNIC correlates with "0xffffe00129b79010"
Without the use of the nice little table that I put together (that I can't upload), the NICs and Teams are configured as follows:
Production VM Switch Team (x4 Interfaces) - Intel i350 Quad Port NICs. As above, the team itself is balanced across physical cards (two ports from each card). External SCVMM Logical Switch is uplinked to this team. Serves
as the main VM Switch for all Production Virtual machines. Team Mode is Switch Independent / Dynamic (Sum of Queues). RSS is disabled on all of the physical NICs in this team as well as the Multiplex adapter itself. VMQ configuration is as follows:
Interface Name          -      BaseVMQProc          -        MaxProcs
-      VMQ / RSS
VM_SWITCH_ETH01                  10
     1                           VMQ
VM_SWITCH_ETH02                  12
1                           VMQ
VM_SWITCH_ETH03                  14
   1                           VMQ
VM_SWITCH_ETH04                16
    1                           VMQ
SMB Fabric (x2 Interfaces) - Intel i350 Quad Port on-board daughter card. As above, these two NICs are in separate, VLAN isolated subnets that provide SMB Multichannel transport for Live Migration traffic and CSV Redirect / Cluster
Heartbeat data. These NICs are not teamed. VMQ is disabled on both of these NICs. Here is the RSS configuration for these interfaces that we have implemented:
Interface Name         -      BaseVMQProc         -        MaxProcs
-      VMQ / RSS
SMB_FABRIC_ETH01                18                                   2
RSS
SMB_FABRIC_ETH02                18                                   2
RSS
ISCSI SAN (x4 Interfaces) - Intel i350 Quad Port NICs. Once again, no teaming is required here as these serve as our ISCSI SAN interfaces (MPIO enabled) to the hosts. These four interfaces are balanced across two physical cards as per
the VM Switch team above. No VMQ on these NICS, however RSS is enabled as follows:
Interface Name          -      BaseVMQProc        -         MaxProcs
   -        VMQ / RSS
ISCSI_SAN_ETH01                    2                                    2
RSS
ISCSI_SAN_ETH02                    6                                    2
RSS
ISCSI_SAN_ETH03                    2
2                            RSS
ISCSI_SAN_ETH04                   6
2                            RSS
Management Team (x2 Interfaces) - The second two interfaces of the Intel i350 Quad Port on-board daughter card. Serves as the Management uplink to the host. As there are some management workloads hosted in this
cluster, a VM Switch is connected to this team, hence a vNIC is exposed to the Host OS in order to manage the Parent Partition. Teaming mode is Switch Independent / Address Hash (Min Queues). As there is a VM Switch connected to this team, the NICs
are configured for VMQ, thus RSS has been disabled:
Interface Name        -         BaseVMQProc        -         MaxProcs
-      VMQ / RSS
MAN_SWITCH_ETH01                 22                                  1
VMQ
MAN_SWITCH_ETH02                 22                                  1                           VMQ
We are limited as to the number of physical cores that we can allocate to VMQ and RSS so where possible, we have tried balance NICs over all available cores where practical.
Hope this helps.
Any more info required, please ask.
Kind Regards
Matt

Sequential numering in Acrobat Form

Is there a wya to set a prefix or suffix for a number and then each time a new item is added in the list that preffix or suffix automatincally adds one to it? I barely use spread shees but know I have done this before in Excel,. BUT, I would like to get a nice Acrobat form going with a column that looks something like the one below where the first two (or however many) numbers remain the same and the last two tally up. Being that the 11 is the date area, it would also be nice to icorporate a formula where if the year changes, so does the "11" portion of the LPO number. Thank you.

So you have a bunch of fields called Item1, Item2, Item3, etc., and you want that the value of Item2 will be Item1+1, Item3 will be Item+2, etc.? Is that it?
For that you just need a simple calculation script. However, it means you will only be able to edit Item1. The rest will be calculated automatically based on that value.
Or did I misunderstand you completely?

Making a printable return envelope attatched to form

Hi guys, I have made a really nice invoice form and would like to include a return envelope with the company mailing address and populated with the customers return address from the invoice form that could be printed.
So far I have tried the # 10 envelope template in designer 8 and have included the company address label and customer return address area, however when using he print button it wants to print a full 8.5 X11 page instead of the proper envelope size.
I would like to have the envelope hidden from the invoice form with only a click to print envelope button visible. Can this be done and how?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Frank

Did you ever find out how to do this? I have designed an envelope that populates with client address that the user will need to print from the envelope tray of the printer.

Multilingual support in MDM

Hi All,
Can multilingual support in MDM convert one language to another language automatically or
Do we need to enter the data in each language manually in MDM?
Can anyone tell me about this future in MDM?
Thanks
Narendra

Hi Narendra,
Can multilingual support in MDM convert one language to another language automatically or
Do we need to enter the data in each language manually in MDM?
MDM can import data into Multilingual forms. If you have data present in various langauges, then you can make your reposiotry as multilingual.
After properly importing the data, You will find the values present in the various languages as present in the Data Manager under the Language Detail Tab.
This process can be done importing and does not require manual intervention.
However, it cannot convert 1 language into other. It can only take in if data is present in different languages.
Hope it helps.
*Kindly reward points if helpful

Feature Request / Form Submit

There are a couple of improvements I believe would make
Spry's "form submit" much better:
1. It needs to (optionally) clear input from each field upon
successful submittion (ie. return to default value). Of course this
behavior automatically happens with a normal html form. When form
is being used in a database application, clearing previously
entered data is counterproductive.
2. It would be nice if "form submit" reset cursor focus to
specified field upon submittion. Once again, this would help Spry
action resemble function of normal html form.
On my current application, I am still struggling with
resetting my form as described above. Any help would be
appreciated.

This should do the trick:
<script type="text/javascript">
function resetForm(myForm){
myForm.reset();
</script>
<form name="
frmName" method="post" action="whatever.php"
onSubmit="return Spry.Utils.submitForm(this,
resetForm('frmName');">
Of course you can extend the functionality of the callback
function (resetForm) with other actions you would like to see
performed after the update has taken place.

Coaxing Forms Generator Into Using Frames

I'm quickly falling in love with Designer. There is one thing I'd really like to figure out.
Forms Builder's Layout Wizard puts a frame around the blocks it generates. The Designer's Forms Generator creates a box and a title. Forms Builder's frame objects look much nicer than Forms Generator's simple box and text object, because of the beveling and what not.
How can I get Forms Generator to generate frames?

You can read "Generating frames" topic in the Designer on-line help.
