Run macro in PDF form created in LC

I have created a form in LiveCycle Designer with a text field that can expand to several pages if need be. It works great. Now when the person fills it out and emails it back to us, we need to be able to pull all of the comma-delimted text out of the text field and convert it a single column table so it can be pasted into an excel spreadsheet. I originally did this in word.
Is it possible to run a macro like this? I have a feeling it's not, but you guys are much smarter than me....
Thanks, Anne

you will have to add a respective bit of JavaScript code in Acrobat.

Can't create a multiple file PDF from PDF forms created in Designer

Hi
I want to create a single PDF which combines 6 pdf forms created in Adobe Designer (all as separate pages).
When I try to create a single PDF from these multiple files using the "Create a PDF from Multiple files" command, my A-3D won't let me do this returning a dialog box saying
"The file "filename.pdf" is protected. It cannot be used for this command".
I can't find any properties that control this, either in the original file or in A-3D. Can I overcome this and how?
Many thanks in anticipation.
Phil

Designer-created files aren't really PDF files any more and cannot be
edited or combined in Acrobat (including Acrobat 3D). You CAN make a
package of them, however, in Combine Files.

Why Lifecycle Designer ES4 crashing on a pdf form created in ES2

On HP Probook 4730s laptop with Windows 7, Designer ES4 keeps crashing on a pdf form created in ES2. Opening it in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and reader is fine. Installed the ES4 sp1 did not help. Other forms are fine. No special fields on the form except some basic textboxes, signatures, checkboxes, lines.
Any idea about how to fix this?
Thanks

Using PDFStreamDumper, I found this:
<form checksum="/I/bugqsY9MYw688CDeeueRfqaM=" xmlns="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-form/2.8/"
><subform name="form1"
><instanceManager name="_"
/><subform
><field name="Button1" presence="hidden"
/></subform
><instanceManager name="_"
/><subform
/><instanceManager name="_"
/><subform
/><instanceManager name="_"
/><subform
/><field name="SignatureField1"
/><field name="SignatureField1"
/><field name="SignatureField1"
/><field name="SignatureField1"
/><field name="SignatureField1"
/><field name="SignatureField1"
/><field name="SignatureField1"
/><field name="SignatureField1"
/><field name="SignatureField1" access="readOnly"
/><pageSet
><pageArea
/><pageArea
/><pageArea
/><pageArea
/></pageSet
></subform
></form
>
Note the same signature field has been defined multiple times. I'm not sure how this happened, but seems like a likely culprit. In the future, try to keep your forms as XDPs until you need to distribute them, then save them as PDFs. The XDP files are just text, and thus easier to fix if something goes wrong.

PDF form created in Idesign CS6 won't save data when filled out

Why can't users save data in fillable PDF form created in IndesignCS6
Hi
Please help I've tried every forum and tried everything you are my only hope ive created a Interative PDF form In indesign cs6 and when my clients fill it out it doesn't save the data, also ive put it online and again the same and the submit button doesnt work, ive tried the advanced save in Acrobat and still the same what am i doing wrong GUTTED

I designed in InDesign, exported as Interactive PDF, opened in Pro, saved with extended options.
I have both Pro XI and the most recent version of Reader. (Mac os x)
I actually used a template to design the form. Would this somehow be causing an issue??
Here's a link to the form-- (website is still being developed.)

Thanks for your help!

How do I complete an electronic signature field in an Interactive PDF form (created in Indesign)?

How do I complete an electronic signature field in an Interactive PDF form (created in Indesign)? This form will serve as an employment application on a website. The goal is to have any person (interested in applying for a job via the Internet) access, complete and electronically sign the form upon submission.

Hi,
Via createPDF you would not be able to electronic sign the PDF form, you would either require Adobe Reader or purchase Adobe Acrobat to sign the PDF.
To download Adobe Reader

You can purchase Adobe Acrobat

Adding LifeCycle Reader Extensions to a PDF Form created in Acrobat Pro 6

HELP!!!!
I have already created a form in Acrobat PRO 6.0, but I am running into the issue where my clients who don't have Acrobat STD/PRO can not enter their data and then save the PDF form as a copy and email it back to me with the data included. I understand that this LifeCycle Reader Extensions allows for such a result, but I have not clue how to add this funtionality to my already created PDF?!? I have downloaded the trial version Adobe LifeCycle Designer 7.1 (which appears to have full functionality for only 60 days)in hopes to just add this capability, but I am tripping over my own feet trying to figure this out.
If anyone could provide some guidance...I would totally appreciate it. I am trying to get away from the paper piles (as i'm sure we all are) and it is such a tease to see the demo documents from the Adobe site actually do what I am trying to do!!! :)
Thanks in advance for any advice/guidance anyone can give.
Cheers!

>. I understand that this LifeCycle Reader Extensions allows for such a result
That's correct.
>but I have not clue how to add this funtionality to my already created PDF?!?
LiveCycle Reader Extensions is a product. You buy it. Note that the
price is "on application" and varies with your company's needs, but is
typically either tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is to
offset the "lost sales" of Acrobat which people would otherwise have
to buy to save forms.
> I have downloaded the trial version Adobe LifeCycle Designer 7.1 (which appears to have full functionality for only 60 days)in hopes to just add this capability
There are many products with LiveCycle in the name from Adobe. That's
a different one.

Load data in xml file into Pdf form created by LiveCycle Designer

I want to load data in xml file into Pdf form when Pdf opened and Form field will be filled with data from xml file .I try to use $host.importdata("filename.xml"); But i could not find suitable place to run my code. Can anyone give me some advice? thank you.

Hi,
extract your xml and then you can use insert all clause.
here's very small example on 10.2.0.1.0
SQL> create table table1(id number,val varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> create table table2(id number,val varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> insert all
2 into table1 values(id,val)
3 into table2 values(id2,val2)
4 select extractValue(x.col,'/a/id1') id
5        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/value') val
6        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/value2') val2
7        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/id2') id2
8 from (select xmltype('<a><id1>1</id1><value>a</value><id2>2</id2><value2>b</value2></a>') col from dual) x;
2 rows created.
SQL> select * from table1;
        ID VAL
         1 a
SQL> select * from table2;
        ID VAL
         2 b                                                                    Ants

Is it too much to ask that a Mac user can just OPEN and USE a PDF form created by LiveCycle Designer PC software?!?

My problem is just that- I have created all my forms using LiveCycle Designer because it is easier to make the forms accessible to individuals with disabilities. Apparently it doesn't make Mac users have access to the forms. I've received complaints from Mac users that cannot complete or submit the forms that I created. I'm not asking how to recreate using another software, I know how to do that. I'm asking is there a work around to allow a Mac user to open a PDF form or even XML (bedded within an HTML page) on a Mac computer WITHOUT having to use bootcamp, parallels, etc. and be able to complete the form and submit, print or email it????? I've exhausted all my knowledge on this thus far and I'm hoping to find something that will help. So far all forums talk about how Mac users need to have a PC side to their computer. Isn't there another way?
I've attached an example form that we are no longer using (though still created exactly the same as the others)
Thanks!

Hi, as far as I can infer, that term means it's not loading any resources until needed, opposite of this...
-bind_at_load
Sets a bit in the mach header of the resulting binary which tells dyld to bind all symbols when the binary is loaded, rather than lazily.
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man1/ld.1.html
Load resources lazily.
You should never load a resource file until it is actually needed. Prefetching resource files may seem like a way to save time, but this practice actually slows down your app right away. In addition, if you end up not using the resource, loading it wastes memory for no good purpose.

Acrobat Pro collapse after trying to adjust my pdf form created in Indesign 6

I want to change the font type in in pdf form which I created in Indesign, while attempting to do so, Acrobat Pro collapse and shut down....what's the problem?
Regards,
Marieke

When you fix it in Acrobat, what you want to do specifically is remove whatever action is present in the button and add a "Submit a form" action to the Mouse Up event. Specify that you want to submit the entire PDF and use the mailto URL you showed earlier, making sure there are no spaces.
For it to work in desktop versions of Reader prior to 11, you need to Reader-enabled the document by selecting: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools
The button won't work with the native iOS PDF viewer, but certain other PDF viewers such as Adobe Reader and Readdle's PDF Expert allow you to email a filled-in form and will support the button action.

PDF form - Create link to folder or other document

I've created PDF Form with various field along js. now client is asking the option to insert the link of other document reference in the field by using button. similar to browse to give the "link of document location in the server" in the field by using button.
please help to make this.
thanks
kv

I see. That is more complicated to implement... Basically you could do it
like this:
- Set the text field's option "Field is used for file selection" under
Properties - Options.
- Then add a MouseUp action to the button that executes this JavaScript
code:
this.getField("Link").browseForFileToSubmit();
- When the button is then clicked it will open a file selection dialog and
will populate the selected file path into the text field.

Enable Stamp Tool in PDF Form Created in LiveCycle

I've created a form in LiveCycle to send to users for their own use in completing/saving using Acrobat Reader. Is it possible to enable the use of the stamp tool for their use within the PDF form? Or, alternately, can I embed an image field in the LiveCycle form that would allow them to click to add an image to the form?
Thank you ......

There is an image Field object that will allow you to click it and choose an image.

Edit the tags in Adobe Livecycle Designer.

End users are not able to save interactive pdf form created with designer

I am new to using LiveCycle Designer and have created a pdf form but my end users are not able to save edited form. Does this have something to do with whether the form is static or dynamic. If so, I am not exactly sure how to use the restorestate option to convert it back to static. I also tried to enable the "user rights access in adobe reader" under the advance menu and had no luck.
My end users have acrobat reader 9 - do I need them to download anything else, maybe professional.

Thanks Paul for your reponse
In my Adobe Pro I don't see the option Reader Extend rather I enabled "Enabled Usage Rights in Adobe Reader" amd I figured this was somewhat the same. So if I enabled this option in Adobe Pro already and they are still not able to edit the fillable text slots or save it what other option do I have in figuring this out.

You have to use an Adobe product that add extended form rights to the PDF,
Acorbat 9 Standard + or Acorbat 8 Professional +.

You need opne of the Acrobat products that GKaiseril mentioned. Once the file is enabled, you can use Reader to fill it out and save it.

Are the fillable pdf forms created in InDesign compatible with iPads?

I have been producing complex fillable forms using LiveCycle which work fine in most circumstances but we're running into more and more complaints from iPad users who can't open, complete, save the forms. From my research I see that there is an incompatibility with the XFA form created by LiveCycle and the iPad software.
I design my forms in InDesign anyway and just discovered that I can author the fillable fields using InDesign as well. It would be a giant time saver if I can use one program to create my forms but the question remains, will fillables authored in InDesign be compatible with the iPad? And secondly, Does anyone know if InDesign has equal flexibility in creating all the special objects and their behavior that LiveCycle has?

I believe that if you name the form field the same name on multiple pages they should fill with the same values.
However, I'm not a form expert. You would do well to ask these questions in the Acrobat Forms forum here:
Forms
While InDesign is being used to create the form, it doesn't really control the process. This is done in Acrobat so that's where you should ask your technical questions.
