  • HCM Interactive forms - operation error while applying usage rights

    Hi!
    We have setup several scenarios using the new HCM Interactive forms on ERP6.0 and EP7.0. The scenarios include things like Transfer, pay change request.
    In 9 out of 10 cases everything thing is working as expected so that the users can complete the forms and the process for their requests but occasionally we are seeing a random error that occurs for any user at any time without any apparent pattern.
    The below is what is seen from the log file

    We had the same problem. The fix is to get a unique ID for every form. Given below
    Instructions to generate unique ID
    1. Modify template
    Edit your template via t-code SFP
    -> goto Layout tab -> Adobe LiveCycle Designer will be started
    -> Goto 'XML source' tab
    in line2, you will find following entry
    <?xfa generator="AdobeLiveCycleDesigner_V8.0_SAP" APIVersion="2.5.8227.0"?>
    <xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/" timeStamp="2008-09-11T14:
    39:44Z" uuid="4ed773ff-6aeb-483e-a5ec-4af1a138c775">
    from this line, delete uuid="..." part.
    Go back to 'Design view' tab
    Check if layout is not changed.
    Save / activate template
    2. Delete database table entry for table ADS_Licensed_forms
    Schema SAP<SID>DB -> table ADS_LICENSED_FORMS
    (you can delete all table entry from this table)
    3. When you access the forms, they are aitomatically registered in this table.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to Apply Usage Rights to an input form variable?

    Hi everyone,
    I have a process with an TaskManager (workspace) Endpoint. It has only one xfaForm input variable. The form is shown correctly in the workspace and the process runs fine.
    But how can I apply Usage Rights to this (start) form? It's no problem to apply rights later in the process but I don't know how to do it for this first form.
    I think it has to be done in the "Render Service" tab under "Advanced Settings" of the xfaForm variable. Any idea?
    Thanks in advance,
    Michael

    Hi!
    I have found the solution:
    1. Create a new process with the default renderer component of the process management and any other component that is needed (in my case Apply Usage Rights)
    2. Define this new process as render service of the form
    Thanks in advance

  • Repeating Subforms after applying Usage Rights

    Hi Guys,
    I've been going crazy trying to get this problem solved over the last couple of weeks. I unfortunately can't post the PDF due to privacy issues, but I'm hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction for what might be causing the issue.
    The Problem
    We're running into a problem once the LiveCycle PDF is opened in Acrobat Pro and has Usage Rights enabled. Once we save the PDF, then re-open it, the repeating subforms start misbehaving. For example, when we re-open that document, rather than the subform having 1 instance (as it should be default), it opens with multiple instances of 2, 3, 6 or 20).
    This issue only occurs once Usage Rights have been enabled on the document, and it's always the same number of instances being repeated.
    Document Details
    The PDF document was created in Indesign then imported into LiveCycle to apply the interactivity. There are a total of 17 pages
    There are several subforms throughout the file on various pages. Each of these subforms has a button below them which allows the user to add additional instances of the subform (using the built-in script that LiveCycle generates). Each subform has a minimum count of 1 and maximum limit set to 20. The "initial count" has been set to 1, but it appears LiveCycle removes this value if it is the same as the minimum count.
    This document does not tie into any database. It is simply an interactive document that allows users to show/hide pages based on the checkboxes they tick on the first page (just changes page visibility). The idea being, the customer can save the form once they've completed the fields required, then email it back, so save functionality is a requirement (which is why we need Usage Rights).
    What I've Tried So Far
    I've done a lot of reading on the subject, and I've seen people mention that subforms with non-unique names or empty subforms can cause the issue. I've checked through the document and all subforms have a unique name and there are no empty sub forms.
    As a way to trying to narrow down which elements might be causing the issue, I resorted to deleting multiple pages from the document to track down a specific element that might be causing the issue, however, i didn't have much luck with this. The removal of the majority of pages other than the single repeating subform resulted in the subform repeating itself 6-8 times (can't remember specifically, but it previously repeated itself 20 times)
    Any Ideas?
    I know it's a bit difficult without being able to see the document directly, however I'm hoping someone might have a suggestion for anything I may have overlooked. Is it simply Usage Rights screwing things up, or is there potentially something in my code that conflicts with the usage rights. The thing I find most confusing about this scenario is the apparently randomness for how many instances show up. The first subform pre-loads with the maximum limit available, but the rest of the forms most load with only 2 instances (when they also have a max limit of 20 items).
    I've read a few forums where people suggested Reader Extensions, however according to Adobe's system requirements it doesn't seem to match what we're trying to achieve. There is not database interaction at all - we only require the ability of users to save the PDF locally.
    If anyone can offer suggestions for where I might need to look to sort the issue out, I'd be most appreciative. Thanks!

    Hi,
    Your description of the problem is very detailed. Send me a private message if it is possible to send the form to an individual instead of posting it publicly.
    Here is a thread on repeating subforms, that may help: Saving finished Form duplicates some subForms I used a console.println line of script to try and help identify the problem.
    I would try and minimise the number of flowed subforms and only use them where they are required for the contents of that subform. In all other cases use positioned subforms.
    Minimum count only serves a purpose when you have a button that allows a user to delete instances. A minimum count of 1 means that the user can delete instances, but not the last remaining instance. Unless you need this, you could take this out.
    I don't think the problem is because the form is enabled. There must be something else going on in the background.
    Try opening the Javascript Console in Acrobat/Reader (pressing Control+J) and see if any warnings/errors come up. Also put in a console.println script to display the nodes in the console.
    Good luck,
    Niall

  • Problem with enabling usage rights for Adobe Reader

    Hi All,
    I have designed a form using Live cycle. From Live cycle I export it as PDF. As a final step, I open the PDF by using acrobat professional to enable usage rights for Adobe Reader. As soon as I enble the rights it saves the document with a different name, which is fine. However; at the same time it also runs the postsave events from the form and removes a couple of objects. How do I avoid this? My form has very little code:
    There is a drop down field called 'LearningSolutionsAdvisor' which has the following code on PostSave event:
    NewHorizons.Page1.LearningSolutionsAdvisor::postSave - (FormCalc, client)
    LearningSolutionsAdvisor.access ="readOnly"
    There is 'Save' button which has the following code:
    NewHorizons.Page1.Save::click - (JavaScript, client)
    app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");
    NewHorizons.Page1.Save::postSave - (FormCalc, client)
    Save.presence = "invisible"
    I thank you for your help in advance.
    Regards,
    Girish

    This video is very helpful as it explains exactly what I want to do:  Extend Features in Adobe Reader, to allow my readers to save their changes.  However, I do not have that option in my version of Adobe X Pro 10.1.4.  Can anyone explain to me why I don't have that option, and what an alternative would be?

  • Usage rights

    Please can someone help me?  This is driving me nuts!  I have designed a form using Adobe Livecycle ES4.  I want users to be able to save and email filled out forms. I understand that I have to apply usage rights but I cannot see how to do this.  For your information I also have Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.  I have searched Adobe help documents extensively and cannot find the answer. Can someone please tell me step by step how to do this please?
    Thank you.

    I'm sorry - everyone's trying to help but I really don't understand what I need to do here.
    Here's what I have at my disposal: Livecycle ES4, Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, Adobe Reader XI. 
    I am not an IT person, I have just designed a form using Livecycle ES4 which I want to publish as a template on our intranet site.  The intention is that uers will access the form and open it in Adobe Reader XI, fill in the form and email it.  Users need to open the blank form, fill it in, save a copy for themselves, and email a copy to me.  The form needs to be used multiple times by users so over several years it is likely to exceed 500 uses.
    I've designed a form with lots of functionality that I am pleased with, but I can't work out how to overcome this problem with usage rights.
    Can someone please explain in very simple terms what I need to do?  Buy something?  Follow some instructions?  Download something?  I apologise but I do not find the Adobe help documents helpful at all - they all seem to assume a higher level of prior knowledge about the product than I have, as a mere user.
    I really hope someone can be patient and advise me!  Thank you.

  • Dropdown List and Usage Rights in Adobe Reader

    Hi everyone!
    The problem is: I can't save data when I open my form in Adobe Reader 7, even if I apply usage rights in Acrobat Professional before.
    But in Adobe Reader 8, it works!
    Can anyone help me, please?
    I designed a form into Livecycle with a drop-down-list dynamically populated from a data source (XML file).
    After the design be done, I opened the form in Acrobat Professional and attach the XML file by the menu "Forms > Manage form data > import data".
    Then I apply usage rights in Acrobat, to enable saving in Reader.
    As I said, it works fine in Reader 8: I can choose any item from drop-down-list and save the form. But in Reader 7, it doesn't.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Usage Rights lost - important info

    Hello!
    Today I updated a test system with a new Reader Extension certificate cause the old one had expired. After installing the new one via adminui I tried to apply usage rights but always got the message by Reader that the document had rights which have been deactivated due to changes. Very strangely using the cert on another system did work without any issues. Also tryingi different files on the system always ended up with the same result.
    Finally I used this.appRightsValidate({},2,true); in Acrobat to check what's going on with the Reader Extension Cert.
    The message was clear and crisp: The data of the signature seems to be in the future.
    So finally I had a look at the server and found that the time was right but the time zone was EST so 6 hours ahead which definitively caused Reader to deny the usage rights cause the rights had been applied on a system ahead of my computers time.
    So be aware when you getting messges by Reader like this. Use the JavaScript to really find out why the validation fails. Will save you a lot of time.
    Regards
    Gunther

    your phone might have developed some software glitch and thus has hard reset itself. As for the software update it never gets updated by itself. You have to download the software and then install it. I guess there are similar cases about C3-01 elsewhere in this forum. Search this forum and you will find for yourself.

  • Enabling Usage Rights on Livecycle PDF Causes Problems with Table

    I have a form that uses a script to dynamically add rows to a table.  Everything works great, except that once I enable usage rights on the PDF, the header row repeats 3 times on the document.
    LINK TO DOCUMENT WITHOUT USAGE RIGHTS  (link removed) Everything works perfectly, but once I enable usage rights...
    LINK TO DOCUMENT WITH USAGE RIGHTS (link removed) As you can see the table is all messed up. The header row repeats 3 times.
    I am at a loss as to why this is happening. If anyone has any ideas, I would be greatful!
    EDIT:  Okay so I figured out what my problem was for anyone else who has this problem. I UNCHECKED: "Repeat Row for Each Data Item" in the Object Properties of the Header Row.  No more repeating headers!

    Hi Sachin,
    Just run into a solution. You should upgrage to Reader Extensions v7.0.2 for this to work. Read the section
    "Enabling commenting in a PDF document rendered in a web browser"
    in the ReadMe.htm file that accompanies Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions Version 7.0.2
    The procedure described lets you enable Adobe Reader 7.0 and later to allow commenting when the PDF document is rendered in a web browser, similar to Adobe Reader 6.0.

  • Still having problems losing Usage Rights

    Hi,
    I've created a series of about 30 forms in Livecycle 8.0 that our office sends out to agencies that need to be able to save them through Acrobat Reader.
    I've been enabling usage rights through Adobe Professional verson 8.1.3 but am encountering a problem where, after the forms have been left unopened for a couple of days, next time they're opened the usage rights are no longer there.
    This doesn't happen if I close and immediately reopen the forms, only if I repoen them several days later. Also, the usage rights reset at the same time on all 30 forms.
    There are a few calculation scripts (in FormCalc) on my forms, as well as some invisible fields that are revealed through use of a drop-down and a dummy e-mail submit button that triggers the real one, which is hidden. Would any of these affect it? It seems strange that they would be altering the forms when the forms aren't being opened.
    Do usage rights enabled through Professional have a time limit after which they expire? And if so, would this problem be fixable with Reader Extensions or would I just run into it again?
    Thanks for the help!

    I am not aware of any timeout on an open form. You may want to take this up with support.

  • Some usage rights have been applied pop-up

    When I edit a form in livecycle I often get the pop-up:
    I just click Yes and continue on, however; a coworker of mine is using fields from the forms to populate into an application they have built and cannot get passed the pop-up. Is there any way to disable the pop-up or something I can set to stop it? Thank you for any information you can provide.

    You get the pop-up because the Reader Extensions for saving the PDF is enabled...
    They give you this pop-up because if there is any data entered in the PDF, it will be lost because LiveCycle can only modify the template of the PDF Form.
    Which means the initial Form as it is created. Once you enable Reader Extensions you MUST remove the usage rights to be able to modify the form...
    If you want to keep the data inside the form, you should keep a copy on the side to be able to re-enter the data inside the form once it is modified in LiveCycle.

  • Acrobat 9 Standard and the Digital Signature usage right

    Acrobat 9 Standard is apparently able to apply certain usage rights to a document. I am trying to confirm whether or not the digital signature usage right is included. The
    Acrobat 9 product comparison seems to indicate it is not, but the online help implies that it is.
    Can someone with Acrobat 9 Standard confirm this for me by testing a document that you've enabled for use with Reader by attempting to sign a digital signature field with Reader?
    George

    In the office area, the Pro version might be good to have for the forms and other features. For the general library, Reader is probably adequate. Actually allowing PDF creation on public machines can be an issue. In a small libary system, Acrobat might be reasonable where you do not have to deal with a large, diverse population. However, for basic PDF creation, only Std is needed. Having both AA8 and AA9 on the same machine can lead to problems. However, if you remove one, you will likely have to repair the other.
    The problem with older versions is that they may not properly read some of the newer PDFs that might be downloaded. For the latter, you could install the latest version of Reader, but you need to be aware that you may have to deal with issues of right clicking (windows) on a file and selecting which application to open a PDF with. For forms and some editing, the Pro version would be good to have. You also have PDF Optimize and PreFlight with the Pro version that generally are not including in the Std version.
    To help compatibility with the files you create, you can select Start>Printers>Adobe PDF preferences (right click on printer). In the settings tab>Default settings> select at least Std or better Press or Print and then push edit. Under the general tab select the compatibility and set it to AA8 so that every thing is compatibile with the oldest version of Acrobat you have.
    If you have more than one computer in the office, you might consider having AA8 on one and AA9 on the other. Do check and be sure you have licenses for whatever you have and that someone has not come in and installed a pirated version. Also be sure you keep the original CDs and licenses (or if they were downloaded, burn the downloaded version to a CD as an archive and write the SN on the label).
    Now that I have confused you, are there more questions?

  • Enable Usage Rights Resetting in Adobe 8.1.2

    Hi!
    I've created a series of forms using Livecycle that need to be sent off to multiple recipients, who need to be able to save/print/etc. from Acrobat Reader.
    Using Professional 8.1.2 I've been Enabling Usage Rights with Acrobat Reader but when I open the forms up again the next day the rights are no longer enabled and I have to enable them all over again! It doesn't happen every time - they stick with some forms - but most of the time they seem to be reset and it's getting very hard to keep track of which forms are still enabled.
    Is this a known problem? Any ideas??

    I've double checked my fonts, and the only fonts used are Myriad Pro which I'm pretty sure is embedded across Acrobat.
    Do you know what kind of scripts might cause the change? I've got a couple running in the forms - the ones that I've written myself are:
    1. calculation scripts (just pretty simple numeric calculations on inputted data)
    2. an if... then script that runs on a dummy e-mail submit button that clicks the actual submit if a check-box is ticked
    I know there's also script running in the 'current date' field, which is the only thing I could think of that might be running every time the form is opened, and which might explain why the rights stay until the next day. However, if I try to recreate the problem by changing the date on my comp calendar and re-opening the forms, the usage rights are still sticking there fine.
    Do any of these seem like likely causes, or are there other scripts that might be hidden around on the form? What's the best way to check?
    Also, all of my scripts were written in Formcalc instead of Javascript - would this make a difference?

  • Enabling Usage Rights In A Form Created In Older LC, But Updated In Newer Version of LC

    Has anyone run into the situation where updates have been made in a form that was originally created in an older version of LC with a newer version not enabling the usage rights for Reader?  I have a form that I created that was done in an older version, and I recently needed to make updates to it, and I now have Adobe Pro X.  Anyone who has Adobe Standard or higher can access the form and fill it out, but if someone only has Reader, they really cannot do anything with it.  It has created a problem in my office.  Once we figured out what was going on, I had to find someone with Adobe Pro 8 to pull up the form and enable the usage rights in Reader.  I'm really hoping it is that I am missing something, but I don't know.
    Here is how the form is set up as a default:
