Tab slow in Livecycle Form

Hello to everybody,
I found out that moving all the static objects to the container area,( looks like a page with a rose target, in the hierarchy panel) Menu " windows->hierarchy" or Shift + F11, the the tabulation through the form fields become faster.
regards Mike

Ok. I have a form with some input text fields and some radio buttons.
When I tab through the form, I can tab to the first radio button, but not to the second, instead the next text field is selected.
There most be some way to customize this?

  • Problem with Tabbing Order in LiveCycle

    I have a two page form.  The last field on the second page is an image field (the user can attach a graphic).  The problem is it won't tab back to the first page after this field.

    I, too, am having problems with tab order.
    I have a two-page form created in LiveCycle Designer. There are 66 fields on the 1st page of the form, and 65 fields on page 2. When I use Window > Tab order to examine the tab order, all is as it should be (except for one thing, discussed later). However, when I go into the Preview PDF tab (or load the form in Acrobat X Pro), field 4 on page 1 tabs to field 42 (on page 1). Additionally, tabbing from field 41 on page 1 takes me to field 43 on page 2.
    I can use Action Builder to ensure that the tab goes to the appropriate field, but that seems a rather kludgy way to go about it.
    And that additional problem: I've got three text fields on page 1 that are of type Protected. According to the documentation, "The protected field is not included in the tabbing sequence and it does not generate events.", yet all three fields are in the tab order.
    What (if anything) am I doing wrong?
    Thanks.

  • Adobe LiveCycle Form Not Saving Data

    I have designed dozens of Adobe LiveCycle forms and have extended rights (enable usage rights in adobe reader).  My problem is that sometimes the form is not saving the data for end users.  One of my end users even updated Adobe Reader, but still nothing is working and he is becoming increasingly frustrated.  Any other suggestions.

    Make sure all your fields have a binding set even if it is just their name.
    For instance, click on a field that isn't saving, in the Object palette, under the Binding tab make sure the Data Binding is set to Use Name.
    Hope that helps.

  • Preview tab locks up LiveCycle

    Out of the blue today, anytime I click on the preview tab to check a form being developed, the preview appears then LiveCycle locks up and I have to use Ctrl-Alt-Del to close the program.
    I have used LiveCycle for years, using three versions, without this incident. Anyone else experience this sudden behavior?

    Hi,
    I have had something like this happen since moving to Designer ES3, can you try Designer ES2?  Otherwise, try these steps
    do a preview in Designer, it will die but will produce a file in your temp directory (type %temp% in the address bar of Windows Explorer), the file will have a generated name like _d0g26dao491323gh.pdf
    open Acrobat, and make sure the JavaScript option "When exception is thrown" is set to break.
    from Acrobat open the temporary file created by the preview (you can't double click the .pdf file from Windows Explorer, or Acrobat will die like Designer does)
    So it seems to be if an JavaScript exception is thrown in one of the events before the form becomes visible.
    Good luck

  • Adobe LiveCycle Forms not opening in Chrome.

    Adobe LiveCycle Forms not opening in Chrome.
    Today, I noticed that if the PDF from is opened from Chrome when it is rendered from an IIS server using the following methoed:
    Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.adobe.xdp+xml"
    Response.WriteFile(""...file-path-name...")
    Just Yesterday morning it was working fine.
    If I open the PDF over a direct link to the PDF file, it will open fine.
    I reported this problem from Chrome using "Report Issue". I hope someone can help me to solve this problem.
    Note: I have disabled the built-in PDF Viewer, and Enabled the Aodbe Reader Plugin in Chrome long time ago. I also reset the Chrome Browser, and still not working
    Tarek.

    UPDATE:
    This is a reported issue in latest Chrome Update:
    https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=333449
    This is an update to give more details.
    Following is the environment I use:
    Chrome Version (type about:version into your omnibox): 32.0.1700.76
    Adobe Reader: XI
    Adobe Acrobat 9.5
    Operating System (Windows 7/8/Vista/XP, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS): Windows 7
    Extensions (type Chrome:extensions into your omnibox): SnappySnippet 0.4
      - Adobe Reader Plugin is enabled.
      - Native PDF Viewer is disabled.
      - All other extensions are disabled.
    Note: I am rewriting the problem discription to clarify.
    Few days ago, I noticed that if the PDF form will not be rendered properly, if it is opened from Chrome over ASP.NET Website, and when it will be rendered from an IIS server using the following method:
       Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.adobe.xdp+xml"
       Response.WriteFile("...file-path-name...")
    I am 100% sure it was working fine before. Also, it is working fine from IE 10 and Latest FireFox version.
    If I open the PDF over a direct link to the PDF file, it will open fine.
    Note: I have disabled the built-in PDF Viewer, and Enabled the Adobe Reader Plugin in Chrome long time ago. I also reset the Chrome Browser, and still not working.
    When I navigate to the link using Chrome to render the PDF Form, I can see that Adobe is trying to open the PDF Form, and then I get a black Window.
    Sometimes the PDF form will open in the following cases:
    1. After waiting for several minutes
    2. When I detach the browser tab from main browser window
    3. When I resize the Window or Minimize/Maximize it
    I have no problem whatsoever when I use IE or FireFox.
    See attached snapshots for more details.
    Appreciate your help.

  • Can livecycle forms be distinguished from other PDF files?

    Can livecycle forms be distinguished from other PDF files within their Uniform Type Identifiers, or within the meta-data?

    You can check value of the 'PDF Producer' field under File -> Document Properties (Description Tab)

  • How to use Adobe LiveCycle Forms Standard / Pro to leverage features in Adobe Reader

    Can someone please tell me how to use the Adobe LiveCycle Forms Standard or Pro module to leverage features in Adobe Reader? Do you also need to have the Reader Extensions Module?
    The forms data sheet says that it is possible to leverage features in Adobe Reader but does not go on to detail how.

    Depends on your deployment pattern.  You can just use Reader Extensions if you're publishing forms on a site, if you need to prefill or perform other processing on the template then LiveCycle Forms is needed.  If you want to render to HTML5 for tablet support then Forms Pro is needed.

  • 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.

  • Can you change the tab order in Muse forms?

    Can you change the tab order in Muse forms?

    Hi Rebecca,
    By tabs do you mean the form fields? If yes, then you can simply rearrange them by repositioning the other fields using mouse.
    However, the e-mails that are received on submission of the forms show the original sequence of the fields.

  • Acroread 8.1.2 unable to process PDF 1.6 documents generated by Adobe LiveCycle Forms 7.0

    Our workflow uses LiveCycle Forms to generate PDF 1.6 documents with embedded JavaScript and XML. These PDFs work fine with Adobe Reader 8.1.2 on Windows; they display correctly, the interactive fields work as expected and the documents can be printed properly.
    However, acroread 8.1.2 on Solaris is not able to process the same documents correctly. When we run acroread headlessly as follows:
    cat xxx.pdf | acroread -toPostScript -level2 > xxx.ps
    the resulting PostScript file displays a message saying "To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrate to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html"
    I have confirmed that we are using the latest version of acroread for Solaris.
    Does anyone have any insight into why this message is being generated by acroread 8.1.2?
    edit: acroread is able to process other PDFs as above without problem. It only has problems with PDFs generated by LiveCycle Forms which include embedded JavaScript and XML.

    Neha,
    Thanks for the response.
    We are running acroread headlessly since it is on a remote server that we access via telnet. Without an XServer session, I can't tell whether acroread is able to read and display the PDF files normally. However, we can view the PDFs with Adobe Reader 8.1.2 on Windows and the acroread -toPostScript command-line that we are using does work properly with other PDFs.
    I will email you a copy of a problematic PDF shortly.
    Regards,
    Steven Dickson

  • 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.

  • How to include multiple tabs in my show form

    Hi
    As per my requirement I want to include multiple tabs in my show form using xmlform builder , different tabs are required to display the news under different categories which will help the user to choose the required tab.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    According to my understanding,
    You are trying to create an xml template using xml form builder in such a way that once we publish the news using this template, it should be shown to the end user in the form of different tabs. Each tab will display some part of the news that we published.
    Correct me if I am wrong.
    The above functinality is not possible using xml form builder as far as I know. You should think of other ways to achieve it.

  • Slow of one form of developer 2000 form 4.5

    Hi all,
    We have developer 2000 form 4.5 with oracle v 7.3.4. we find out that one screen or form of the system are very slow. Can you please help me if you have the reason of that slowness in th form.
    Thank you.
    Said

    The form was running fine, and suddenly or at last days start to become very slow to run.You should have written that the first time!
    Maybe an index has been deleted or disabled that was used by the form's query process.
    Look at the base-table blocks and determine which tables they access, and how. Test the select statements in SQL Plus or another tool. Check the query plan Oracle uses to access the data.
    Also check any record groups that may cause slowness, and look at any SQL queries that may be issued directly by PL/SQL in the form.

  • 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.

  • How to merge static pdf files and dynamic livecycle forms

    Hello,
    I was wondering if there was a way to merge static pdf pages with a dynamic livecycle form to create one file.
    Thanks,
    -vargs

    Hi, Steve.
    I have a similar situation. I would like to combine static PDF documents with some forms created using LiveCycle Designer. I read your previous post and I am aware that I can combine them using Acrobat Pro.
    My question concerns accessibility.
    If I combine a static PDF document and a dynamic form created with LiveCycle, would the resulting PDF still be accessible enough for JAWS to read it properly?
    Any help appreciated.
