Replicate Table within LiveCycle form

I manage to create a dynamic table which capable to grow on user demand for the use of company's internal purchase requisition. It works perfectly, until someday somebody in the management ask me if I can generate Purchase Order based on company's internal purchase requisition.
I need to populate the dynamic table (in the requisition form) to be used in Purchase Order form. My question is, what should I do in order to
replicate the same dynamic table
without using external application / accessing database. I'm currently using Designer 8.
Thank you in advance.

Look here or wherever you installed it and there is a really good example....
C:\Program Files\Designer 8.0\EN\Samples\Purchase Order

Issues aligning Check Boxes in a table in LiveCycle Forms

Hi, I've created a form in LiveCycle which includes a table. In the table I want to insert two columns of tick boxes and center align them. I've managed to insert them ok but don't seem to be able to control the alignment at all (they just stay right aligned). I've tried setting the column alignment to centered and also tried a couple of basic commands in the xml source, but without any success. Has anyone got any ideas? Ta

Excellent, thanks - just need to do a few adjustment in the measurements
of the margins and it works perfectly.

Centering Table withing a form

I'm using a table to create my form input fields. I'd like the table to be centered on the page rather than the default left justified. The Format>Align>Center command does not work. Any ideas on what I can do to center the table within a form? Thanks. Mark Reynolds

The answer may depend on other code you have on the page, but presuming that your table can be 600px wide, try the following CSS -
table {
     width:600px;
     margin:0 auto;
Note that this will affect ALL tables on the page. If you have more than just this one table, then add an ID to that table and to the selector, e.g.,
table#form {
     width:600px;
     margin: 0 auto;
<table id="form"...

Pages (5.2) document unable to select a table within it

Hi all:
I created a form for my business back with Pages '09 (the best up until this point). I have a number of tables within the form and, until now, I cannot select all of them for editing, moving, etc. I double-click over the table and nothing. I select all (Command + A) and the table gets highlighted, but you cannot select it.
I've tried Bring All To Front, Move All To Rear, etc. and that doesn't work.
Any ideas?
I'm desperate!

Hi again Jerry,
Ok, I should have tried this at the beginning, but I think I've freed it. It must be a bug in the conversion from Pages '09 to 5.2. I Copied All > Opened New (blank) > Pasted. The entire form is identical without Duplicating and now I'm able to select the table within it.
Is there a way to notify Apple of this? I find this version of Pages excedingly full of errors and counter-intuitive.
Thanks again!

Embedding LiveCycle forms within Java UI

Hi,
we are using Adobe Acrobat 9 to create Livecycle Forms.
Is there a way to EMBED LiveCycle forms in browser based Applications (Java, .Net etc).
We want to display the LiveCycle form inside an existing browser based UI, and want to store the information entered by the user by calling a web service.
Is this possible ?
thanks in advance
Ravi

An LC form is just a PDF and as such a viewer program needs to be present to display it. Typically Reader or Acrobat is on the users machine and your app can bring up a frame and load that PDF in a version of the viewer as an ActiveX control (this associtaion is made by the use of the mime type).
Being able to submit that information through a web service is possible but the ability to call web services from Reader is a restricted feature...so you woudl have to Reader extend the form using LiveCycle Reader Extensions server. If your users are using Acrobat this is not a requirement.
Hoep that helps

LiveCycle Form does not render correctly in Acrobat X

Hi,
I created a form in LiveCycle that includes 3 pages, positioned and flowing subforms, text items and data fields, etc. My document operates fine when I preview and test it in pdf format within LiveCycle. However, when I open the document in Acrobat X and enter data into the form and save it and print it, it is still fine. However, when I then go back into the form after I have saved data into it, to update it, the formatting is skewed. It pushes data on top of data.....I have searched for the possible reason why and cannot find anything. Can anyone help?

Sure,
Here is the shot....as you can see, the first table is running over the top of the next question and the next three tables are pushed together ..... this part of the form is positioned in designer so should not even be moving.
This form looks and operates beautifully in the initial previews.....

Adding dynamic size table to Interactive Form

Hello everyone,
I have a node with multiple elements that i would like to show in an interactive pdf form.
I'm using the Adobe LiveCycle Designer to do it, but i'm only managing to bind "solo" variables, not tables.
How can i associate dynamically a table with several lines to a pdf interactive form ? I tried a list box but i still only get the first element shown in the box. Am i doing anything wrong ?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Basically the general way to add a table to INteractive form is by adding a subform elemet to a subform element and(i mean subform in a subform), now map the fields u want to be displayed as a table.
For the fisrt subform set the LayoutType-Flow Content,Flow DirectionTable.
Then select the allow page breaks within the content option.
And the binding should be Normal.
for the second subform:
LayoutType-Flow Content,Flow DirectionTable row.
Now also select the option allow page breaks.
Then for Binding tab: select the Repeat Subform for each data Item, then min count=1.
And now if ur table columns contain names like abc, def and xyz.
Then in the script editor code something like this
abc[*]; under show: initilaze, language: Formcalc and Run at: client
Hope this should work out for you.
let me know if u have any more queries.
Thanks,
Lohi

How do I get to have more than 20 columns in a table in adobe form?

I see that there is limitaion to not have more than 20 columns in my table in adobe form, Is there any way I can have more than 20 columns in a table in adobe form in landscape mode.

Hi,
That only relates to the Table Wizard. Once the table is placed on the page, you can add columns manually, from the menu or right-clicking on a column.
You can also use fields within a repeating subform (instead of the table object).
Good luck,
Niall

                 ||--> subfrom (properties:: Content - Flowed / Flow direction - top to bottom...pagination tab is greayed out completly)
                            ||--> Table
                                      ||--> HeaderRows (Object: Row - Type: Header Row)

Can't make it wor, not sure what's wrong here
I am using NDS 7.0 SP18 and Adobe LiveCycle 8.0. Does that could be a problem.

Form created with Livecycle Designer with a SQL database - do you need LiveCycle Forms installed?

Hello,
I'm REALLY hoping someone here can help me, I have spent over four hours on the phone to Adobe in the last 3 days and I'm getting no where what-so-ever. I can't even find out where /how to complain about it! (but thats another story)
Here's my situtation:
I work for a company with approx 140 staff. On one computer, we have Adobe Livecycle Designer ES installed, and we have used that program to create a form which has a link to a SQL database.
The link in this form doesn't work on the other computers which has the basic (free) Adobe Reader. From doing research within these forums
, I have found that the form will not work on other computers unless they have Adobe Livecycle forms installed on their machines.
What I need to know (and what they cannot seem to tell me when I call), is two things:
Is it correct that in order to use a form created in Livecycle Designer which has a link to a SQL database, that the machine must have LiveCycle forms installed?
How much does Adobe LiveCycle Forms costs?
PLEASE, if you can answer this question, I would REALLY appriciate it....
Thank you!

I presume you are asking if you need Livecycle Forms ES? Forms ES is a component of the livecycle software suite intended as a document service which will be installed on a server within the organisation. A couple of things this document service can do is to render XDP into multiple formats (PDF, html, etc.), execute script server side (for example the database connection) on behalf of the client (reader, etc.), integrate with backend components, etc. So no you do not install this on each client.
For database connections to work, you either have a server with Forms ES installed which can connect on each clients behalf (ie. Client->Forms ES Server->Database), or you have a reader-extended PDF to allow connections to be use in the free basic Reader (i.e. direct calls to the database or using web service calls to your own database components). However, reader-extended pdf would probably require Reader Extensions ES component installed on a server (you once off extend your developed pdf through this and then hand it out to each of the end users). Not sure if the Acrobat Reader extensions will cover this functionality since I have not tried that. I dont think it does. Otherwise you would need full acrobat on each client.
How much database integration is your form actually doing at the moment? read only? Full access? And how many clients do you expect to hit your database? Depending on what you need the form to do, there is always the option to try and build the integration yourself. Do simple http submits from the browser (hosting reader as a plugin) to some component somewhere which in turn hits your database. Wouldnt require additional licensing but alot more development work.
As for cost for the various components, thats a question only Adobe can answer for you since they all sit squarely in the enterprise space and licensing for that is not as simple as off the shelf products.
Maybe someone else has a view on it or has an alternative.

Combine Acrobat X Pro and LiveCycle Forms

Hi,
i have a 3D PDF in Acrobat X Pro and I want to add there a table which i would like to fill with xml-data from an excel-worksheet.
Now i haven't found a tool in X Pro to make tables. Important for me is that I can navigate through this table easily (like table.row or
something like this).
In LiveCycle I have created such a table in a form. But I can't get this two forms together. Can't I work together with LiveCycle and Acrobat X Pro with 3D media and combine this forms?
greetz
nahni

okay, on the adobe site I have found something about acrobat x pro and there under the point forms they explain something with livecycle. Because of this I thought this is perhaps possible.
(here's the link:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7e1d.w.h tml)
But then I have to try it with one of these products.
LiveCycle I think can't deal with 3D media, so I have to do it with Acrobat X Pro?
Can I create a table in X Pro? I have only seen funcionality to add buttons and textfields.

Connecting to a Database from a LiveCycle form

Good morning everyone,
I've been working at understanding how to connect to a database via my livecycle form and up to here, i can easilly enough connect to an ACCESS DB.
I created an ODBC,
a simple 1 table MS Access DB
and a simple form that connects to that DB via the ODBC.
My question is, how do i set this up if i want my clients to use this form? i cant really have that ODBC installed on all their machines, so how can i have this setup instead?
I do have access to a LiveCycle server, but i only have the Extended reader module installed, nothing else. Can it be done and if so, how would i go about setting this up?
If i can get that to work, this would open up a lot of possibilities where i work at.
So what i need is a way to mimic that ODBC setup, but without having to create 5000 ODBC connections on my clients machines
If you need clarifications on anything, please don't hesitate to ask.
Thank you yet again,
PAtrick

Hi Patrick,
You can create a process in workbench which will make the JDBC calls and bring the data (See this - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/services.pdf)
Then you can use the SOAP endpoint of this process in the LiveCycle form and invoke the process
Hope this helps.

Need help in LiveCycle Forms - Highlighting required fields when the check box is checked / Un-highlighting the fields if I un-check the check box...

Hello All!
I am relatively new to creating forms within LiveCycle but I have learned quickly so bare with me on my question.
I have figured out how to highlight a field when a check box is clicked on, however, I cannot get it to remove the highlight when the check box is unchecked?
This is what I used for the highlight:
Subform1.fieldname.fillColor="255,255,0"
Can anyone provide any insight or suggestions on how I might fix this script issue?
Thanks in advance!
-Lisa

Hi,
Script migth be something like this. Put it on Change event of the check box
if (this.rawValue == 1) { Subform1.fieldname.fillColor="255,255,0"
xfa.layout.relayout();
else
{ Subform1.fieldname.fillColor="255,0,0"
xfa.layout.relayout();

Need to add flex grid in livecycle form to generate dynamic PDF

Hi,
not sure this is the right fourm or not, but I require a way to add flex data grid in my livecycle form to generate PDF containing flex grid.
I tried adding a flex swf in Flash Field in Live cycle but it is giving me
Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: file://PDFMedia026281/g/framework4.6.0.23201.swf
I am new to this environement so any help would be great.

Hi,
with Designer ES3 (formerly know as ADEP Designer) you can use Flash files within XFA forms.
Check Niall O'Donovan's article.
He has prepared a nice example of using flash charts which can be manipulated at runtime.
