Populate a PDF done with Adobe Livecycle Designer

I have a pdf from an institution and I have been asked to populate it directly with data saved in an excel file. I have found that the pdf was done with adobe livecycle designer and with that program I can see the name of the fields in the form.
The pdf can be found in:
https://sedeelectronica.bde.es/f/websede/content/SPA/Form_TRA_clientes.pdf
I have thought to use a VB macro in the excel file to populate the pdf. I have been searching on Internet but by now, I am only able to read the values of the fields, but I can't change them. I know that the code below doesn't work with XFA Forms, but I have read a lot of documentation and I can't find anything else.
Here is the code:
Set gApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.app")
Set avDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
If avDoc.Open(FileNm, "") Then
   Set pdDoc = avDoc.GetPDDoc()
   Set jso = pdDoc.GetJSObject()
jso.Getfield("FrmSolicitudTransferenciaEuros[0].FormContent[0].ordena nte[0].datosOrdenanteExterno[0].ordenante[0]").Value  = "new value"
    pdDoc.Save 1, FileNm
    pdDoc.Close
End If
avDoc.Close (True)
Can anybody write an example explaining how to do that with XFA?
Thank you in advance.

You might want to instead use an XML schema to map cells in your Excel spreadsheet to fields in your form. Then you would just export the XML data from your spreadsheet and import it into your form to populate the fields.
That should get you started. Refer to Excel and LiveCycle Designer documentation for further details.

  • Problem with Adobe LiveCycle Designer

    Hi,
    I am working with ADOBE Interactive form.while clicking  Edit option on the Interactive Form UI Element I am getting the Following error.
    I have registered WDAdobeControl.dll also.
    Error:
    Install SAP InteractiveForms - Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
    Regards,
    Ramesh.

    Did you install the Adobe document services on a Java stack and configure them properly? It sounds like that's missing. The ADS is teh runtime component you need to generate the PDFs.
    For more information, check http://service.sap.com/adobe > Media Library > Documentation

  • Fillable Forms Created with Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0

    I created a fillable form using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0. Prior to using the form for clients we sent it around to numerous people to make sure it's working properly. We have experienced problems with users that are using older versions of Reader or full versions of Acrobat (5.0 & 6.0). Some problems we have had:
    1.) We understand you cannot save the filled out form in older versions, but some users are not even able to print the form (the program shuts down). When the form is opened in an older version it lets the user know that they cannot save the form and it must be printed if they need a copy, but we had one user using version Acrobat version 7.0 that received this message.
    2.) Users with full versions of Acrobat 7.0 have been able to fill out the form and save it, but when the form gets back to us it is blank.
    3.) Users with Acrobat and Reader 7.0 cannot use the print button, it just does not work.
    We were looking to see if there is a way of saving a fillable form down to an older version to see if this can solve our problem. I have not had any luck finding out how to do that. If anyone knows how to do this could you let me know? If not I guess we will go back to the old fashioned way of having the user print the form and fill it out.
    Thank you!

    I'm actually having the exact same problem. I imported a form into Designer 7.0 as an Adobe Reader 6.0 "compatible" form. At first, there were several warning messages in various fields but I changed all of these fields so that they would be compatible. The form works in 6.0, however, whenever a user initially opens the form in 6.0 a message pops up promting the user to upgrade to 7.0 for the form to work. Over half of our users are running Adobe Reader 6.0 so any information on how to prevent this dialouge from coming up would be very appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Jeff

  • Populate textFields from dropDown Items  Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8

    I have one dropDownList with two Items: "Round Trip Delivery" and "Customer Pick-up", when user select item: "Round Trip Delivery" I need to display in textField1: "Delivery Date" and in textField2: "Pick-up Date"; and when user select item: "Customer Pick-up" from dropDownList I need to display in textField1: "Your Pick-up Date" and in textField2: "Your returning Date".
    What will be the JavScript to use?
    TIA
    Wilson

    oops! wasnt paying attention.. but anyway, you should have got the idea now..
    if (xfa.event.newText == "Round Trip Delivery")
    textField1.rawValue = "Delivery Date";
    textField2.rawValue = "Pick-up Date";
    else
    textField1.rawValue = "Your Pick-up Date";
    textField2.rawValue = "Your Returning Date";

  • 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

  • ADOBE AIR for offline applications or Adobe LiveCycle Designer Offline form

    Hi Experts,
    I have a requirement of recreating the XK01 Customer Master Creation functionality and host it as online application in SAP Netweaver Enterprise Portal. I have done this by creating a Web Dynpro ABAP application and embedding a adobe livecycle designer interactive forms (having same fields as required for Customer Master creation in XK01). In online scenario, the PDF form opens up in browser. In offline scenario, the user can fill up the form and upload the form using UPLOAD button created in the Web Dynpro application. There has been some performance issues like if we have too many dropdown UI elements in the form (having many entries in each), then the form takes too much time to get uploaded.
    Can we think of a alternate solution using Adobe AIR desktop application which will enable the user to fill up the form in AIR like User interface. I am new to Adobe Flex and Adobe AIR.
    The online scenario  perfectly fine with Adobe LiveCycle Designer Forms and SAP ABAP Web Dynpro application. It's offline functionality where its performance hasnt been up to the mark.
    Also let me know if Adobe AIR can be used in the offline scenario while ADOBE forms in online scenarion or is it mandatory to have AIR AND FLEX in offline and online scenario respectively.
    Please advise.
    Regards.
    Rohit

    hi,do you still need an answer for this question?
    Because Adobe flex and air are very good solutions for a offline and online scenario
    Kind regards,

  • Adobe LiveCycle Designer and send XML

    Dear all,
    I have developped a PDF with Adobe LiveCycle Designer  that send an XML file to BW using a button Submit. But this PDF works when executed from the Adobe LiveCycle Designer software (tabpstrip PDF preview) but does not work when it is executed standalone (no logon asked.. )
    Do you have some ideas to solve this problem ?
    Regards,
    Vince

    Hi Nitesh,
    I have installed ADL standalone on my pc.
    When I execute my PDF from ADL it works : I click on a button and a logon screen on a SAP system is shown (like access on web report), I fill it and the XML file is sent and shown through RSA3 transaction.
    But when I launch the PDF alone, I get an error message when I clik on the same button : 'HTTP 401 - Unauthorized'.
    Do you have another clue ?
    Regards,

    Excellent directions and help on this subject, Thanks Jared & Gretchen.
    I must be missing something critical >>>
    I have a large employee review document (34 pages) with 23 sections. Each section has a feedback area with expanding text fields, each of the sections is in it's own positioned subform. I have grouped the sections (and subforms) on each page into a flowed subform. The document itself is saved as an Acrobat 7 Dynamic form. My problem...the sections do not Flow. The expanding text boxes work just fine, but they do over-run the sections below.
    I have reviewed the comments above and I can get it to work with a single page document, just not with a large - long document, everything over runs.
    Any ideas? You will be held in very high regard!

  • 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.

  • Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES

    Hi,
    I am just curious?
    I have installed Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended
    It came bundled with
    Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES
    Is this the full software of
    Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES
    or, just a part of the suite?
    Do I need to download the Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES
    From Adobe Downloads/Trial?
    Or, have I already got the full suite installed?
    Thank You
    Phillip

    If you've got acrobat pro extended - you've got Livecycle Designer ES too - Livecycle comes bundled with acrobat
    If you mean, do you have the Livecycle Enterprise family (workbench, forms etc) if you have acrobat - then the answer is no - that's something that would make us all very happy though (except for adobe's finance controllers  - the enterprise suite is very powerful but kinda pricey for SME's).
    It's a great product - have fun

  • Adobe Livecycle Designer 7.0 vs 7.1

    Hi
    I have two systems one with Adobe Livecycle Designer 7.0 and the other with 7.1
    And I am working on the same form from both these systems. Should that be any cause for concern ?
    What are the differences in the two releases that I should be aware of ?
    Pushpraj

    You´d better have all computers/ developers working with the same designer, but that is just a precaution, I have never experienced any serious problem when moving between versions.
    By the way, if I could recommend you a GREAT improvement, please check the notes:
    Note 1121176 - Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 - Installation
    Note 1253121 - Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 - Patch
    Note 1176858 - Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.1 Installation
    and... install the 8.1 because it is a GREAT leap forward in a comfort for a developer. Please try and enjoy, that is my best advise you can get. Hopefully that will help you and please you, regards Otto

  • How to populate Adobe LiveCycle Designer generated  PDF Forms with data from Database in Windows app

    Hi
    I have a PDF template designed in Adobe LiveCycle Designer. This template has form fields which needs to be filled with data programmatically. I am using windows application in C#.Net 2005 in which I want to retrieve data from database and merge this data into PDF form in respective fields.
    How this can be achieved?
    I searched a lot & I found that we can process the XDP file generated from PDF to acheive this. I created the XDP file out of the PDF template created in designer. But I don't know how to merge data from database into that XDP file in respective fields and again convert this XDP file back to PDF programmatically. Can anybody help me ? This is urgent.
    Thanks in advance.
