Problem with LiveCycle 8.0 Form in Acrobat 7.0

I have created a form in LiveCycle 8.0 that contains text fields that have multiple lines enabled, are sized to fit height, and are in subforms that are set as flowed and allowed to break across pages.
When I test the form in Acrobat 8.0, the fields flow perfectly from page to page. But when I try to test the form in Acrobat 7.0 -- which is widely in use here -- the fields extend onto the next page as expected, but then the portion of the field that has extended to the next page cuts off at a seemingly random point and does not fit to the height of the text.
It appears as if the text successfully resizes the field on the main page, then when it overflows it defaults to allowing multiple lines but NOT to resize to fit the length; instead, I get a portion of overflow text, then the plus sign in the lower right hand corner signifying I have additional text that is not visible. Also, the point at which I get the plus sign is random, or at least inexplicable; it may hit at the top of the page, the middle, or near the bottom, depending on how much text overflows -- but it always happens.
Is there a subform sizing issue here? I hope I'm just missing something obvious...
Thanks.

I can't be sure about exactly what's happening here, but I can point out several things.
          The class "javax.servlet.jsp.el.VariableResolver" is associated with JSTL 1.1.x, and JSP 2.0. It's not part of JSTL 1.0.x. Make sure you really have version 1.0.6, and don't have 1.1 somewhere.
          If you're just trying to use the JSTL, you shouldn't need several of those jars that you're presently including. You only need jstl.jar and standard.jar.
          Why are you using the "rt" versions of these taglibs? Those don't even use the expression language. I would remove "_rt" from all of those references.
          Note that if you're using Struts and the JSTL, you probably want to use Struts-EL, which is a version of the Struts jar that uses the EL to evaluate attribute values. Check the struts-user archive for some information about this. You'll find the struts-el distribution in the "contrib" directory of the Struts distribution.

  • Problems with filling out PDF forms

    We have problems with filling out PDF-forms. Aotomatic filling of forms is deactivated and we use the Adobe Reader 11.0.05. The problem is: After some time the inputs are wrong put down in the form. For example: I write 120 and in the form stands 125. We have already extinguished the cache. Thanks for your help in advance.

    You will get that first message when the document has been changed in a way that invalidates the internal digital signature that's applied when a document is Reader-enabled. Certain changes are allowed (e.g., filling fields, commenting, signing) and will not invalidate the signature, but others are not. The exact cause of the change is often hard to track down, but it can be due to font problems, some type of file corruption, or something that Acrobat/Reader attempts to correct when the file is opened/saved. You will also get the message if the users system time is not correct and is currently set to some time before the document was Reader-enabled. It seems best to use the most recent version of Acrobat to enabled the documents and recent versions of Reader to work with them.
    It problem is probably not related to the user using anything in the Sign pane.

  • Problem with PJC (Print Dialog) - Forms 10g

    I have a problem with my PJC for Forms 10g r2. When I try to connect and run my PJC (raise Print dialog and put printer name in some text item) I get following message:

    When I started application, on Java console I saw this message, so I think the server configuration is fine (I change everything I need in Default.env and FormsWeb.cfg files):
    Loading http://devsrv/forms/java/jESPrintDialog.jar from JAR cache
    What can I change with server configuration or deploying my project to this PJC can work normaly?
    Thanks....

    Hi and thanks!
    I resolve one part of my problem. Tt was about diferent compiler (in JDeveloper 10.1.3 compiler is 1.5 and in my oc4j server JRE is earlier version, so it can`t work normaly).
    I comiled PJC in 1.4 version of compiler and now I can start and run my PJC.
    But, there is another problem:
    this is my part of java code (note: everything work fine except one line when I want to get printer name from select printer dialog):
    try {
    boolean b;
    PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
    b = job.printDialog();
    try {
    return job.getPrintService().getName();
    catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println("Error: "+e.getMessage());
    return "My error:";
    } catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println("ERROR: " + e.getMessage());
    return "Problem with PJC [esoft]";
    So, when pjc want to get back printer name
    return job.getPrintService().getName();
    i get following error (on Java console):

  • Elementary Problem With Submitting A PDF Form Via Email?

    Hello all!
    I'm brand new to creating forms with Adobe.  I have Acrobat X Pro.  I have created a form with multiple fields to fill in and placed a button at the top of the form.  Under button properties I selected the submit a form option under the actions tab and chose to email the entire pdf file.  Where it says enter a URL for this link I put mailto: and my email address.
    When I click on the submit button I choose the desktop application option as I use Outlook exchange. (that could be the problem?)  I click on the ok button and immediately get a pop up box that says "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request.  Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default client.
    I have no idea how to fix this issue or if I'm creating the submit form improperly.  My goal is to get an exact copy of the completed Adobe form emailed to the specified email address.  Any help would be much appreciated!
    Mike

    To answer some of your specific questions:
    2, 3. The submit form button needs to be on the PDF. You can either configure a Submit Form action or use the submitForm JavaScript method.
    4, 6: No to both questions. You can create the form in Acrobat. Such forms are knows as Acroforms, as opposed to XFA forms that are created with LiveCycle Designer. Acroforms have wider support.
    5: Yes, that's the method that's used when submitting to a web server. You have your choice of formats. The "HTML Form" option causes the form data to be submitted in the same format as an HTML form, so the same type of server-side code can be used to process the data. As Dave's tutorial shows, the server should return an FDF as the response, however, as opposed to HTML content.
    It's a mistake to try to embed the PDF in a web page. So much depends on the user's browser, PDF viewer, and how both are configured. PDF forms can be submitted directly from Adobe Reader/Acrobat, so it's not necessary for them to be viewed in a browser. Note that Adobe Reader for iOS/Android don't yet support submitting to a web server (apart from FormsCentral), but that's is supposedly being worked on.
    Since you mentioned digital signatures, be aware that for Reader users to be able to sign, the document has to be Reader-enabled, either with Acrobat Pro or LiveCycle Reader Extensions (which is not the same as LiveCycle Designer). Digital signatures in PDF forms are not yet supported on mobile devices. Also, you will want to submit the entire PDF, as opposed to just the form data, when submitting a digitally signed form.

  • Problem with Grouping in Interactive Forms by Adobe

    Hey Guys!
    I have a problem using the group function for a table in Interactive Forms by Adobe and I have not found a solution yet, so I hope anybody can help me.
    I've created the table in the LiveCycle Designer using subforms and I want to use the group function for a specific field of my table. Now the problem is that the entries of the table are not shown grouped for the same values of my specific field but there is still one row for each entry. How do I have to edit binding, flow etc. for the subforms of a group?
    I hope anybody can help me or provide me a better solution.
    Thanks in advance.
    Martin

    Hi Otto,
    thanks for your reply.
    I'm sorry the 'grouping function' I've announced is called 'control levels' in English I can set this function for a field of a table in the context of the form in the transaction SFP in SAP. Then in the hierarchy the field is displayed above the group of the other fields of the table. Usually in the form this should lead to a 'grouping' for the specific field so if you have identical values there is just one entry in the form and all the rows that have this value should appear behind. My problem is that there is still one entry in the form for every row.
    Right now I'm using the solution you mentioned with the nested tables but i have some problems with the layout and page breaks (pagination).
    Thanks for your help.

  • Problems with digitally signed PDF FORM

    Hi everyone,
       I am having a situation as follows:
    I have a adobe form that is digitally signed. In Adobe 9 once it is signed, the two properties are set as -
    1)Document assembly not allowed
    2)Changing the document not allowed.
    By saving the pdf into .ps file and reopening it with Adobe pro, I was able to put some links from the text in PDF, using "LINK TOOL" button. But if I redo the links again, then comes the problem. And also, When I merge this pdf form with another the signatures are lost!!! Can anyone please help me and shed some light on this.
    Appreciate all your help.
    rgds,
    Suma.

    Hi Suma
    One thing to realize is one of the purposes of a digital signature is to provide proof of document integrity. With that in mind, although in Acrobat 8 and earlier you were allowed to make changes to the document, and thus invalidate the digital signature, beginning with version 9 we have disabled that functionality. If you need to edit the core PDF don't sign it. The signature should be applied after all of the document layout has been completed. You can fill in form fields and add comments and annotations post signing, but it makes no sense to modify the document structure when all it will do is invalidate the signature.

  • Having problem with others digitally signing forms in reader

    I have created a document that needs a signature in Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2.  I was under the impression that anyone with Adobe Reader over 8.0 could fill out the form, and sign it.  However, users can fill out the form, but not sign it.  I am not that adobe savvi but I can follow directions pretty well! Please help!

    Hi,
    You need to Reader Enable the form in Acrobat Professional. After you have completed the form layout in Designer open the file in Acrobat. Then select the Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader menu item. It will ask you to Save a copy of the file. It will be that copy that you can sign in Reader.

  • Problem with freeze on Document forms

    Hi all,
    i've a problem with freeze on document's forms (like invoice) when i make changes on matrix.
    For example i've an addon that calculate discounts for items and update the information in the matrix. But when I update the info in the Matrix I see the cursor run across the matrix.
    This create two problems. The first one is the orrible aspect that the operation assume, the second is that sometimes some cells turn to black and remain ofthis color.
    Can someone help me?
    Here I post a piece of my code:
        Dim oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form = SBOApplication.Forms.Item(FormUID)
        Dim oMatrix As SAPbouiCOM.Matrix = oForm.Items.Item("38").Specific
        Dim oRefLine As Integer = 0
        oForm.Freeze(True)
        Dim Cnt As Integer = 1
        Try
          While Cnt <= oMatrix.RowCount
            If oMatrix.Columns.Item("U_RefLineId").Cells.Item(Cnt).Specific.Value <> "" Then
              Dim apDouble As Double = oMatrix.Columns.Item("15").Cells.Item(Cnt).Specific.Value.ToString.Replace(".", ",")
              If apDouble <> 100 Then
                SetMatrixValue(oMatrix, "U_RefLineId", Cnt, "")
                SetMatrixValue(oMatrix, "11", Cnt, oMatrix.Columns.Item("U_OrigQtyMN").Cells.Item(Cnt).Specific.Value)
                SetMatrixValue(oMatrix, "U_OrigQtyMN", Cnt, 0)
                Cnt = Cnt + 1
              Else
                oMatrix.Columns.Item("15").Cells.Item(Cnt).Click()
                SBOApplication.ActivateMenuItem("1293")
              End If
            Else
              SetMatrixValue(oMatrix, "15", Cnt, 0)
              Cnt = Cnt + 1
            End If
          End While
        Catch ex As Exception
          SBOApplication.StatusBar.SetText("Error: " & ex.Message, SAPbouiCOM.BoMessageTime.bmt_Short, SAPbouiCOM.BoStatusBarMessageType.smt_Error)
        End Try
        oForm.Freeze(False)

    Hi Daniele,
    I use a little different approach because the Freeze on a Form is like parenthesis on formula. You must be sure that the Freeze(true) are balanced by a Freeze(false).
    So my pattern is:
    Try
        oForm.Freeze(True)
        ' the operation you need to do with the freezed form
    Catch Ex as Exception
        ' Menage the errors here
    Finally
        oForm.Freeze(False)
    End Try
    The Finally statement is executed in both case when an Exception is raised or when the code is right executed.
    But I think this is not the problem in your code.
    If you still having problem, probably we need to examine your sub-routine "SetMatrixValue".
    It is also important to know your SAP Business One version because in the past there was a version with a problem in the refresh of matrix.
    I use SAP Business One 2007A SP01 PL06 HF1 and I do not have problem with the freezing.
    Hope it helps.

  • Problem with custom Reports and forms in R12

    Hi All,
    we are upgrading from 1103 to R12. In R12 we are facing a peculiar problem with Reports. All seeded reports are running perfectly. But no data is coming while running the custom reports. The operating unit field in the SRS window is getting populated automatically while running the seeded reports but getting greyed off while running custom reports.
    We are facing the same problem with forms even, data is not getting retrieved in custom forms. Can any one suggest wether there is any profile option which is being missed out by us. ..
    Thank you,
    Regards
    Raj

    Add SRW.USER_EXIT('FND SRWINIT') in the afterPForm trigger.
    This will set the org context for reports.

  • Problem with getting PDF Options after installing Acrobat Pro 8.0

    Hello
    I have some problems after installing Acrobat Pro 8.0 on my MacBook Pro.
    In the past I worked with Acrobat Pro 7.0.8. Then when I choose the printer Adobe PDF 7.0 I had always a pulldown menu in the Printer Settings. to decided what kind of PDF I want (Best Quality, PDF/1, PDF/3, Low Quality, etc)
    After Intallion Acrobat Pro 8.0, I had both Adobe PDF 7.0 & 8.0 availible in the Printer Menu, but either the PDF Options is not availible for both (in some programs) or for both it is visible as "AdobePDFPDE70" but it has a line through it and I cann't select it.
    Then I delete Adobe 7.0 & 8.0 from the folder "/usr/libexec/cups/backend/" and started Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.0 again. It recognised that an Adobe PDF need to be installed but again it is not availible or AdobePDFPDE70 has a line through.
    I have still installed Adobe Pro 7.08 on my MacBook Pro because their is no PitStop Professional availible for Adobe Acrobat 8.0
    Who can help me to make my PDF Options Availible. I also looked at the Adobe Site for a Solutions but I found only 4 Threads for Acrobat 8 in combination with OS X and it was regarding other problems.
    I work with German OS X and german Versions of Acrobat and PitStop
    Regards
    Gerard
    MacBook Pro 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hello
    I solved the problem. The files "AdobePDFPDE700.plugin" & "AdobePDFPDE800.plugin" conflict each other.
    I solved it in the following way
    - quit Adobe Acrobat
    - delete Adobe PDF 7.0 & 8.0 From the Printer Manager
    - remove the file "AdobePDFPDE700.plugin" & "AdobePDFPDE800.plugin" from /Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/
    - restart Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.0 and activate its self repair function from within the Help menu
    - quit Acrobat and re-boot your Mac
    - a Printer & "Adobe PDF 8.0" will be availible. Now the PDF Options are availible in all the Programs I working with!
    I experienced that the Acrobat Pro 7.08 is very unstabil after the Installation of 8.0, let's hope that PitStop will bring very soon a new Version compatible with Acrobat 8.0

  • Problem with output in smart forms

    Hi All,
    I am getting some problem with the field list in smartforms. When i tried to drag and drop some fields its not allowing me drop in text editor. So i hard code some of the fields and some systems fields. But in ouput i am getting every thing like in the top its showing "Print Preview of page 001 of 007. Its showing all the Filed descriptions and every thing. But its displaying all the field values and system values as &wtab-vebln&  &wtab-erdat&  &wtab-ernam&
                   &wtab-vebln&  &wtab-erdat&  &wtab-ernam&
                   &wtab-vebln&  &wtab-erdat&  &wtab-ernam&
    Untill end of loop for all pages. In the same way for each end of the page i am trying to print out &sy-pagno& but for evry page i am getting only the &sy-pagno& but not the page number.
    When i debug the internal table itab is populated with the data.I dont know why the field list is not allowing me to drag and drop fields and when i hard code why i am getting output like that.
    Some where i read that the we have to change in cofiguration of smartform in order to drag and drop is it right?
    Suggest me how to correct this error.

    Hi Ben..
    You cannot drag&Drop the Fields into Text Editor ..
    You have to do this in Graphical PC Editor (This will be the default editor Generally)
    Otherwise you have to use the Icons INSERT FIELD(+) DELETE FIELD ( - )
    On the Toolbar above the PC Editor.
    Remember your field should be displayed with Gray shade. then only the Value of the Symbol is displayed. Otherwise it will be displaying the Symbol name as it is.
    For page no You have to use the System field of Smartforms &SFSY-PAGE&
    not &sy-pagno&.
