Reader user - forms

how shall I configure my form to enable reader user to attach a file to such form????
thank you¡¡

No special configuration should be required (not even the Reader Rights)... Did you try using the tool I've mentioned? What were the results?
It's this tool, in case of any doubts:
Of course, after you select it you have to click somewhere on the page...

How to create a pdf form allowing Reader user to insert picture - NOT from their local hard drive - but from photos I want them to choose from?

Is there a way to create a PDF form where a Reader user can insert an image - that's NOT on their local hard drive?
I have 4 photos available - the users of my form will choose one of them and insert it in the pdf form. The users will NOT have the photos saved on their local hard drives so ideally, they will see thumbnails or a preview of the available photos and then select and insert the photo they want to use.
Is this possible? If so, how do I go about this? Right now, all I can find are ways to insert a photo located on the users local hard drive.
Hopefully someone can answer my question.

George, I'm not sure where the photos would go or how to include them. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to making pdf forms so i'm not sure if it's even possible.
I'm planning to make a flier. I want the end user to be able to choose the photo displayed on the flier - the photos would be ones that I choose and supply. I know I could just make four different fliers, but I thought it would be more efficient if I had one flier and gave the Reader user the ability to select the photo they like.
Does this sound possible to you?

Kevin,
For manual Proviosioning - It works fine.
It fails when I create user in OIM using flat file GTC . I have an access policy to auto proviosion that user with ldap.
As mentioned before, I notice none of the prepops on Ldap process form are able to read value from Xel user form.
Steps I tried Already:
1- Checking access policy
2-remapping process form adapters
Pls. let me know ur thoughts.

How to read User ID from the request Form and pre populating in the AD User process form before provisioning

I am trying to read the user Id from the submitted AD User request form( Catalogue AD User form. I need User Id,firstname and lastname inorder to prepopulate the common name as in this format - lastname,firstname (userid) for the user to be provisioned in Active Directory.
So after filling the AD User request form with User Id and Organization and submitting the request, I am trying to
prepopulate the common name in the process form before the provisioning.
The prepopulate adopter for the common name is configured to read the firstname, lastname and userid. firstname and
lastname variables are mapped to User definition and user Id is mapped to Process Data. In this setup I am not getting the
User Id value from process data, it is empty.
Is this a bug with OIM 11g R2 or I need to do it differently in order to read the user Id that user has entered in the
request form for populating the common name?
Thanks

How to get USER_ID and IP_AddressWhy exactly do you need this data and what do you plan to do with it?
The data is not reliable and trustworthy. IP addresses can easily be spoofed (a few seconds if you know what to do and how to do it). Also, IP addresses are not static. Users also do not use the same network device to access the database - different devices will have different IP addresses.
The o/s user on the client is supplied by the client driver. This can also be spoofed.
The user can also use a virtualised device - which means that recording the IP and o/s user seen from the server side, is pretty much useless and meaningless.
So if this data is intended to be used for auditing for example - it would be pretty suspect data to use for that purpose.

Can a form be filled/saved by multiple Reader users?

I've created a fillable form using Acrobat 9 and enabled Form fill in and save in Adobe Reader. Reader User 1 fills in the form partially, saves and forwards to Reader User 2 to complete. Reader User 2 then cannot save the form with the form data. Is this expected behavior?

First user confirmed she is using Reader X. I'm not sure about second user. It's not really appropriate for me to use them too much as troubleshooters, so thats about as much information as I'm comfortable asking for.
Do you know specific instances where this behavior might happen? If there is too much chance of similar behavior going forward, we may have to scrap the whole fillable PDF idea.
Thanks.

Acorbat Reader users cannot submit my form to me

I created a form for use by the nine members of my brokerage team. Some people have Acrobat Standard; but some only have Reader. It seems as if the Reader users are unable to submit the forms. When the Reader users click on the button to e-mail the form back to me, they get an error message saying "This operation is not permitted."
I have looked for solutions online, but cannot find any that fit this situation, given the versions of Acrobat that are being used: Pro XI (used by three of us with Creative Cloud), Standard X, Reader (multiple). The solutions that have been posted involve making changed within the Registry; and those solutions that do not involve the Registry make suggestions for setting changes within Pro that don't even exist in my version of Pro XI. (Go figure.)
It would be really nice to get this issue resolved once and for all. If anyone has any recommendations, I would love to hear them.
Cheers!

You don't need to change the registry. It sounds like the form is set up so that the entire PDF is included in the submit, instead of just the form data. For this to work with Reader versions prior to 11, the document needs to be Reader-enabled, since Reader otherwise is not able to save a filled-in form. This won't be needed if Reader 11 is used since it is able to save a non-enabled form (AcroForm, not XFA).

Acrobat form field that allows Reader user to browse and insert a picture into a predefined area

Is there a way to do insert a form field into an AcroForm that allow Reader users to browse and insert a picture into that form field?
I know that LiveCycle can do this, but I need to do this using an AcroForm. Or maybe there's a third-party plug-in that can be used in an AcroForm to do this?

Jay,
The new version of Reader, which was announced today (see AcrobatUsers.com), will now allow you to use the field.buttonImportIcon method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.737.html
For a bit more information, see: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/743823
Here's the minimum code that can be used in the Mouse Up event of a button that's configured with a layout that's something other than "Label only":
// Mouse Up script for a button
event.target.buttonImportIcon();
Since this isn't backwards compatible with Reader, you'll probably want to add additional code to test what version is being used and alert the user if it's pre-11. You should also check the return value to see if anything went wrong. The hard part is getting everyone to upgrade, but this and a number of other features should make it worth it.

Allow reader users to save pdf form with data

I want to create a form that an adobe reader user can open and save a copy as a pdf with the data in the form. I know that requires reader extensions - what i can't seem to figure out is if I already have this included and how to do it. I have LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 - which is the download I end up at when searching LC with reader extensions.
Does anyone have instructions on how to do this or know whether that functionality is available in the version I'm running?

You can add the Reader Extesnion right to save the form with data locally in two different ways.
1. In Acrobat Pro open the form and under the Advanced/Extend Features in Adobe Reader will walk you through a wizard. Once the wixard is finished, save the file and use that one. This technique is limited to 500 users by licence.
2. LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server has a User Interface that allwos you to pick the rights you want. There are no luser imitations to this option.
If you do not have either, option 1 is a lot simpler. You can download a trial copy of Acrobat Pro and try it.

Reader-enabled form from Acrobat is retaining interactive form fields when user saves the form

This is an issue that has only recently come up. In the past it was not a problem to take a pdf, add interactive form fields to it in LiveCycle, then open the form in Acrobat and enable usage rights for Reader users.
This allowed Reader users to fill out the form and save the results. With the most recent versions of Acrobat and Reader the user saves the form and the data AND the interactive form fields are saved in the resulting file - meaning that the data is still there to be changed. Clearly not what we want and not what Acrobat and Reader were doing previously.
The form does properly display "You can save data typed in this form" when opened in Reader.
I have got no response to this issue in the LiveCycle forum, and nothing shows up in a search. I would very much like to fix this, as it is affecting our entire library of pdf forms.

In most instances the form is linked on the website, so the original form will cannot be overwritten.
In some cases we have to supply an interactive pdf for a department that they will then distribute by email to various groups who are expected to fill the form out on submit on an ongoing basis. That is what I was meaning by the user filling out the form, printing it, and then being prompted to save changes.
The bigger issue is that most of our users expect to take a form hosted on the website, fill it out, and then save a pdf copy of their responses for reference. The reference copy is retaining the interactive fields rather than printing as a static pdf.
If I could force the action of printing as a pdf (rather than saving as a pdf) on submission I think that would solve the issue. The script for most of the forms in the library is xfa.host.print(1, "0", (xfa.host.numPages -1).toString(), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0); and I am not aware of a way to force the print to only be to the pdf print driver.

Adobe Reader users able to add attachments to a form?

I am currently developing a form for other users that have Reader. Is it possible for the Reader users to provide attachments within the form I developed when submitting? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think it has something to do with the way the value of the check box is exported, but I'm not sure. With nothing being exported to Data5, Data6 displays the sum of Data1-4 rounded down to the nearest whole number and updates automatically as Data1-4 are updated.
Right now, assuming Data1-4 are 0, where data 5 is the output of the second example and any box is checked, "1" is displayed in data5 but nothing is added to data 6. Selecting any other check box or deselecting that check box will cause data6 to add 1 even if data5 displays "0". By way of example:
Selecting Check box 16 results in Data5 displays 1 and Data6 displays zero.
Then, if any or all of Checkbox17-20 are selected, Data5 displays 1 and Data6 displays 1.
Then, if any or all of Checkbox17-20 are deselected, Data5 Displays 1 and Data6 displays1.
Then, if Checkbox16 is deselected, Data5 displays 0 and Data6 displays 1.

Programmatically enable Reader users to save form data.

Hey.
In Acrobat there is a function that makes you able to allow Reader users to enter data in a form, and save it. Its used by going to advanced > Extend features in Adobe Reader.
The form im using is only a template, and this works for that single form only, and since the form im using is only a template the extended features i activate in this way doens't work with the newly created ones created of the template.
I'll explain a bit on what it is that my application is doing.
My application is a webapplication created in .NET 2003 using vb.net and asp.net. The user will on one page fill in a formfield, that will be send to the template once a button is pressed. The form will then load up, with the data posted. Already here i get the error "You cannot save data typed in this form". This error doesnt show up on my developing machine, since i have Acrobat installed, but the others at the office hasn't got it, and they get the error. I can imagine that very few of our customers have Acrobat, so its vital that this will function properly.
Anyway, as the error is shown, i cant type in anything in the form, making it really useless. It has been tested on more than 1 system.
My question is; Can i some how set this properly programmatically in some way?
When i am creating the forms programmatically i'm using ADCpdf, and i've tried with encryption.canFillForms = true, but that didnt work either.
OS: XP pro
Tools: VS .NET 2003, Abobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
Any questions? Please ask.
//Simon

Simon,
LiveCycle Designer and LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES are different products. Reader Extensions ES can reader extend AcroForms, not just XFA forms (XFA forms are the type created with LiveCycle Designer).
LiveCycle is a suite of many products, not just a single product.
> and they say that they believe that the form is saved in a "different" format.
Yes. LiveCycle Designer creates XFA forms and Acrobat creates AcroForms. They are indeed a very different format.
> I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro, but the function is only active in the template, not the form created by the template.
This is correct. Anytime you save changes to a form, the reader extensions are removed and need to be re-enabled. This is by design.
Geo,
He was looking for a way to enable rights programmatically.

Enable Reader users to save form from Acrobat Pro 6

I've found details on how to enable Adobe Reader users to edit & save forms when you use Acrobat Pro 8 or 9, but I can't seem to find anything on how to do it when you use Acrobat Pro 6. Can anyone help? ~ Taya

Thanks! I found out my company has Acrobat 9, so got that updated. Form now works!!

How to set a form field in pro so an 'adobe reader' user can insert a jpg (not a pdf) as an image. It used to work but now doesn't.

I think this question has been asked a million times before but I'm hoping something has been resolved now! It did work for me and my client a few months ago (by using the 'event.target.buttonImportIcon();' script. I'm 99% certain it worked fine a few months ago, where the adobe reader user could select a jpg to insert...but now it only allows a pdf. Does anyone know if anything can be done? I know you may say LiveCycle but is there really nothing else?
Thanks in advance.

There's nothing to solve. If Reader (XI only) is used only PDF files can be selected. This is how it's supposed to work (although I agree it's silly and should be changed).

Session Error - Cannot call getObject on :display.session on a user form

On an end user form I have a manager label.
The manager attribute in the user object holds the unique identifier but I must display the full name.
 
So I have the following code to go get the fullname:
 
<block>
<invoke name='getAttribute'>
<invoke name='getObject'>
<ref>:display.session</ref>
<s>User</s>
<ref>accounts[Lighthouse].sponsor</ref>
</invoke>
<s>fullname</s>
</invoke>
</block>
 
Now it does go ahead and display the fullname but at the same time throws the following error on the page:
 
ERROR:XPRESS exception ==> com.waveset.util.WavesetException: Can't call method getObject on class com.waveset.session.LocalSession ==> com.waveset.util.InternalError: ID not passed to ObjectCache.getObject
 
Since it is not a workflow I think I need to use the :display.session reference.
 
Is there another approach I could try? Do you have any suggestions?

You could also use the following for your session:
 
<invoke name='getCache'>
 <new class='com.waveset.session.InternalSession'/>
</invoke> 
But the biggest problem I see is the string value User. I think it needs the following:
 
<invoke name='findType' class='com.waveset.object.Type'>
 <st>User</st>
</invoke> 
Note: I used st instead of s to avoid a strikethrough.
 
If I'm not mistaken, your code could then look like this:
 
<block>
<invoke name='getAttribute'>
<invoke name='getObject'>
 <invoke name='getCache'>
 <new class='com.waveset.session.InternalSession'/>
 </invoke>
 <invoke name='findType' class='com.waveset.object.Type'>
 <st>User</st>
 </invoke>
 <ref>accounts[Lighthouse].sponsor</ref>
</invoke>
<st>fullname </st>
</invoke>
</block>

Want to add a prepopulated User defined field in create user form

Hi,
I have an entity adapter which will perform a pre-insert check on the user group of the user logged in to the oim.
If the logged in user belongs to a group say "IT ADMIN", another validation check will be imposed on the create user action performed by him.
If not from "IT ADMIN" group then create user action will be handled normally.
Now the catch is, how would I determine the group name of the user logged in from the adapter code I have written?
I decided to keep an User defined field "Created by" in the create user form which will be non-editable and auto-prepopulated with the group name of the logged in user. This way I will be able to map the variable field from the User definition drop down list while mapping the adapter variables.
May you please guide me how I can achieve this?
Would highly appreciate suggestion/inputs.

Thanks for all your replies!
However I am still in dark.
I tried to retrieve the groupname using tcUSerOperationsIntf. But iit tries to retrieve the group name of the user getting created.
Please note, the group name I want is not of the user yet to get created, but that of the user creating it i.e., the logged in user.
My requirement is to have this created_by field in the create user form already prepopulated with the group name of the logged in user.
So that I can put a check based on this field value in the netity adapter.
If the group is IT ADMIN then proceed with the validation.
Else no validation required.
In short, I want to know,how can I auto-prepopulate a UDF in Create USer form?
