Templates in Livecycle

Does livecycle have something similar to page templates in Acrobat?
I have a form that i need to have the ability to add a new page.
Thanks
Paul

You can add an instance of the subform that holds the page (assuming its root container is set to flow as well). To do that use the command:
subformName.instanceManager.addInstance();

  • Like in LC7.x, how to create process template in LiveCycle ES2? would process deployment create it?

    I created a long-lived process  and linked a form to a manual process. I deployed and invoked the  process from Workspace. Like in 7.x, I looked for the process template  in TB_PROCESS_TEMPLATE table and its empty. should I do anything more to  create it?
    Thank you.

    I'm sure that someone at the NetBeans website mailing list knows how to do that. Do note that these are Java forums, not NB support.

  • PDF Generation with LiveCycle Data Services

    Hi everybody!
    I am using LiveCycle Data Services to generate a dynamic pdf. I worked with this tutorial : livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/es/sdkHelp/programmer/lcds/pdfgen_1.html and i adapted the code to my own example.
    I created a pdf template with livecycle designer and i succeed to generate the pdf thanks to LiveCycle Data Services.
    Here is my problem :
    In LiveCycle Designer i create a table and bind my data connection (from xml source) to this table and i bind subforms to repeating data.
    It works when i try to open an overview of the pdf with LiveCycleDesigner.
    But when i try to generate the pdf with livecycle data service, there is no repeat of my data. There is only a number of items corresponding to the minimum of repeating i set in livecycle designer binding window...
    Is it possible to generate repeating data with LiveCycle DS ?
    an example of my xml source :
    <item id="1">
         <data>blabla</data>
    </item>
    <item id="2">
         <data>blabla</data>
    </item>
    In livecycle designer, if i set the minimum of repeating to 1,  LiveCycle DS generate a pdf with only one item.
    if i set the minimum of repeating to 2,  LiveCycle DS generate a pdf with only 2 items. etc.
    I don't know how to generate an indeterminate number of items...
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Bye

    Hi Guillaume,
    there is no limitation. Dynamic PDF files can be generated with Livecycle Data Services.
    You should have a look at the XML file generated by your Flex code. Try to save it and see how the XML file behaves when you generate a PDF preview with Designer. You can go to the menu:  File >  Properties > Preview > Use XML test data...
    With the XFAHelper class, you can either load a PDF or a XDP file. Have you tried with a XDP ?
    I've attached a dynamic PDF file that I've created for a customer. I generate a dynamic PDF file using LiveCycle Data Services. Maybe you'll find some clues within the file.

  • 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.

  • Merge LiveCycle Form with XML using JAVA

    Hello.
    I am trying to find out how to merge non-interactive form with XML (using JAVA) so the users can see the final output form with the data filled in.
    What are my choices..?
    So far, I have created the interactive forms as template using LiveCycle 8 and wrote ASP.NET code to extract data and store it in SQL database when the user fill out and submit the form.
    It works great but another agency wants to access the form as well.
    They told us that they will create the XML themselves from the database, so they just need to combine the form with XML to display it (non-interactive form).
    They want to use JAVA but I am not sure how to do that...
    Any suggestion?

    Assuming that you start with XML in an org.w3c.dom.Document that stores the XML data. Before you can merge it into a form, you have to convert it to a com.adobe.idp.Document object. TO convert a org.w3c.dom.Document to a com.adobe.idp.Document object -- use the following Java code:
    private Document convertDataSource(org.w3c.dom.Document myDOM)
    byte[] mybytes = null;
    try
    //Create a Java Transformer object
    TransformerFactory transFact = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
    Transformer transForm = transFact.newTransformer();
    //Create a Java ByteArrayOutputStream object
    ByteArrayOutputStream myOutStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    //Create a Java Source object
    javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource myInput = new DOMSource(myDOM);
    //Create a Java Result object
    javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult myOutput = new StreamResult(myOutStream);
    //Populate the Java ByteArrayOutputStream object
    transForm.transform(myInput,myOutput);
    // Get the size of the ByteArrayOutputStream buffer
    int myByteSize = myOutStream.size();
    //Allocate myByteSize to the byte array
    mybytes = new byte[myByteSize];
    //Copy the content to the byte array
    mybytes = myOutStream.toByteArray();
    catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println("The following exception occurred: "+e.getMessage());
    //Create a com.adobe.idp.Document object and copy the
    //contents of the byte array
    Document myDocument = new Document(mybytes);
    return myDocument;
    THen you can merge myDocument into the Form using renderPDFFOrm:
    FormsResult formOut = formsClient.renderPDFForm(
    formName, //formQuery
    myDocument, //inDataDoc
    pdfFormRenderSpec, //PDFFormRenderSpec
    uriValues, //urlSpec
    fileAttachments //attachments
    Hope this helps!

  • Is LiveCycle not included with the CS5 Design Premium package anymore?

    I recently purchased my CS5 suite and went to fire up Livecycle and i do not see it included in the adobe startup list. Did Adobe remove this component from th CS5 Design Premium Package?

    Hi,
    I appreciate your response. I have CS4 at home and had CS3 at work. Recently, at work we purchased four upgrades and one full version of the CS5 Master Collection. I am not a graphic designer. I work in a print production environment. I wanted to create a new form using the Acrobat templates so I attempted to create a form with the upgraded software. I was amazed that I could not find an option to create a PDF Form from scratch or by using a template in LiveCycle as I had done before in the earlier versions. I waited two hours on the phone with Adobe Support and finally got a response from the Sales Department. As you mentioned, Adobe Sales said they sell the product separately but that it is also included/bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro (the CS5 purchase). However, Sales could not of course tell me how to access it. I created a form at home with my older version of software using LiveCycle's templates. I sent the file to myself at work and I was able to open it in LiveCycle in Adobe Acrobat X Pro - CS5 at work. Adobe Acrobat X Pro first recognizes that the file is designed in LifeCycle then Adobe Acrobat closes the PDF and reopens it in LifeCycle. So, I won't be upgrading at home too soon at least until I find out what else might be missing from CS5.
    Thanks for responding with the extra information.

  • Livecycle Javascript

    I built a XFA based dynamic form template using livecycle. I heavily use javascript to look through the xml bound to a page and add rows to tables dynamically.
    Example below:
    var locationTotal = xfa.resolveNodes("Page1.dataNode.Location[*]").length;
    var locationArray = new Array();
    var i=0;
    for (i=0; i<locationTotal; i++)
              locationArray[i] = xfa.resolveNode("Page1.dataNode.Location[" + i + "]");      
              var buildingTotal = xfa.resolveNodes("Page1.dataNode.Location[" + i + "].Building[*]").length;
              var buildingArray = new Array();
              var j=0;  
              for (j=0; j<buildingTotal ; j++)
                        buildingArray[j] = xfa.resolveNode("Page1.dataNode.Location[" + i + "].Building[" + j + "]");
                        var buildingRow = BOPPolicyDocumentData.Page1.PropertyTableSubform.LocationSubform.AddressTable._Row1.addIn stance(1);
                        buildingRow.LocNo.rawValue = locationArray[i].unitNumber.value;
    I use iText to merge the template and the xml. But from what I understand, iText does not run the javascript. The javascript needs to run at the client when the form is opened using acrobat reader.
    This means the form cannot be viewed using other PDF readers which do not support javascript in them.
    Also since the layout of such a form is determined when the form is opened rather than at the server, I cannot merge it with other dynamic PDFs to combine them all into one PDF.
    Any advice on how I can eliminate javscript to run on the client side?
    Thanks in advance!
    Sirisha.

    Hi there,
    here is some references to JavaScript for LiveCycle Designer
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/es/lcdesigner_scripting_reference.pdf
    you could do something like so:
    if (A.rawValue < 10){
         B.rawValue = 0;
         C.rawValue = 0;

  • How to set PDF version for the output file in ES4

    I am using LiveCycle ES4 for converting word docs to PDF. In our client we invoke createPDF method of GeneratePdfServiceClient class. We are using a custom PDF setting in LiveCycle in which we have defined configuration as per the business requirement.
    We need the PDF version of the document to be set to 1.4.  For this, we are setting the value for compatibility (under File Option) to Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4) in custom PDF setting template in LiveCycle adminui and in Acrobat preferences. Both these setting are not working and the resulting document has PDF version set to PDF1.5. Can you tell me how the version of resulting document be set to 1.4??

    Hi Neelam,
    I tried it and did the personalization as the help documentation said.
    But I don't know why it doesn't work:(
    I followed these steps:
    1. open workbook and select a value for the variable used in query
    2.click personalized variable and new window pop up then I select the value I chose and added to the selection.
    3.click ok and quit
    4.save workbook
    but next time I open this workbook, the variable selection window still pop up.

    This might be an issue with the gacutil that you are using. I have used the gacutil that comes with Microsoft SDK.
    You can install Microsoft SDK from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3138

  • How to create a data connection with dynamic XML file?

    Thanks for all reply first!
    I have formatted the submitted data into an XML file on the server side,this file can be import to PDF form correctly.
    I try to send this XML file to the user to let him can review what he has submitted.
    I guess that I should create a data connection to the XML file so that it can be reviewed by the user.
    But the question is that the XML file is dynamic generated.
    How can i do?
    give me some clus or examples,please.
    thanks,
    Jasper.

    Hi Jasper,
    To show user back the result, you can use PDF instead of XML. You can store the PDF template in server and you can merge XML data with PDF template by Livecycle Form Data Integration service.
    We, as KGC, can generate huge number of Adobe Livecycle forms in small periods. Also we give consultancy on Adobe Livecycle ES products and Adobe Livecyle Designer. In case of any need, do not hesitate to contact us.

  • Acrobat 3D Toolkit missing in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

    Dear all,
    I updated from Acrobat 8 to Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. Now I was looking for the Acrobat 3D Toolkit and couldn't find it.
    Was it renamed into Adobe 3D Reviewer or is it just missing in the installation?
    Best regards,
    Sandra.

    Actually, when you create an animation in 3D Reviewer you can only save it to PDF.<br /><br />The animation is saved as a JavaScript attached to the 3D annotation in PDF. It is not saved in U3D or PRC.<br /><br />To view your animation in PDF you need to use a PDF template. There is a default template that comes with the product locaded in the following folder:<br /><br />   C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\plug_ins3d\prc\ENU<br /><br />You should use one of the following templates depending if you rather use Acrobat to create a form template or LiveCycle Designer (also comes with Acrobat Pro Extended):<br /><br />   - a3drtemplate_03.pdf: template created with Acrobat<br />   - a3drtemplate_lc_03.pdf: template created with LC Designer<br /><br />To save to PDF, you need to use the File>Export menu option, then click on the Options button (left corner), then choose PDF from the list of formats, and click on Options again to set the template to use.<br /><br />On the PDF Export Options dialog box, check the box 'Use Template' and select one of the default templates indicated above. Then at the bottom of the dialog box, check the box 'Include Animations' and click OK (twice) and Save.<br /><br />The PDF created will have the JavaScript to play the animation. If you want to take a look at the JavaScript, it is saved in your temp folder at the following location:<br /><br />   C:\Documents and Settings\<userid>\Local Settings\Temp<br /><br />The JavaScript file will have the name of your model with a .jsX extension where X is a number.<br /><br />In 3D Reviewer, special views are created using the following tool: <br /><br />   View>Configurations>Create Configuration<br /><br />If you use the Export to PDF option with a template, all the conigurations will come thru in the PDF. You can also save configurations to a PDF without using a template. They will come in as custom views in PDF.<br /><br />You can download the file below to see an example of a PDF saved from 3D Reviewer with a simple animation:<br /><br />   https://share.acrobat.com/adc/document.do?docid=db6805a2-9cdd-4584-8388-e4d59123f012<br /><br />Hope this helps.

  • Work with ListBox in Acrobat Reader and 3D Pdf

    I have a template with LiveCycle Designer 8.2. This listbox i fill dynamically with JavaScript in the 3D Model and in the template. I can manipulate both scripts. The user should select items in that view. So i have choosen User Entered - Optional as type in Designer. This all works.
    But if the user selects one item in Adobe Reader the Listbox gets the focus. Selects the user now an other element in the 3D Model, the values from Listbox will changing. But the Listbox already has the focus and nothing is changed. If i click manual in another field except the 3D Model, the Listbox looses focus and the new values are visible.
    How can i fix that problem?
    In LiveCycle Designer the property Comit On: Select is disabled always. Also execEvent("Click") on another field does not work, even in a timer function.
    The user should only select values in my list and scroll if necessary.
    Thanks for all hints.

    Don't use the regular "'submit by email button." If you use this button, you can only submit the data as XML. Instead, make your own button.
    In the Object library under Standard objects, click and drag a plain button to your form. Change the Control Type to Submit. Now you should have a new tab called Submit with a "submit to URL" option.  In that field type the return email address in the following format:  mailto:[email protected]  Toward the bottom of the same option, there is a field that says "submit" and the choice is XML data package.  Change that to PDF.  Then change the name of the button to "Submit by Email."  Now when you preview your form and click the Submit by Email button, it should mail the completed form as a PDF instead of simply mailing the raw data.

  • Need info on adobe pdf generator

    Hi,
    We are evaluvating a tool to convert word document to pdf for our prestegious client.
    Below are requirements,
    Requirement 1:
    Source- MS Word document
    Target- PDF
    1) Conversion of MS Word document to PDF through online. Here Word document content don't follow any specific layout disagn.
    User wants pdf format should be as same as Word document including font, file layout, header, footer.
    2) Target Pdf should dynamically generate content while reading  word document. i.e it has to replace <placeholders> with the data read from DB.
    3) Target Pdf should also merge some other pdf documents during conversion
    Requirement 2:
    Source- PDF
    Target- PDF
    1) User will provide PDF which has user data aswell as <placeholders>. We need to replace the <placeholders> with the data read from DB & generate PDF.
    Please let us know which adobe tool would suite better for above said requirements.
    Note: From my initial analysis  I found 'LiveCycle PDF Generator ES ' and 'LiveCycle Output ES2' are suitable to 'Requirement 1'. Please let me know your comments on this.
    Thanks,
    Kumaresh

    I've not seen a response from others, so I'll chime in.  If the answers are not in sufficient detail, I can find someone else to go to the next level.
    Requirement 1: The key thing to keep in mind is that PDF Generator is a server-based framework around word, at least for the word to PDF part of its functionality.
    1-1) Conversion of Word to PDF...  PDF Generator does this well.  Note that it will require the installation of MS Office or will use Open Office. Given your fidelity requirement, you probably want to use Office.
    1-2) The integration of dynamic data is less clear.  PDFG does not support this directly, as we use MS Office. I'm not a Word expert, but if you can pull of the dynamic content access and have the appropriate access paths available from Office as it is deployed on the server.
    31-3) Both Output and PDF Generator use a common service called Assembler for the merge. This should be an easy usecase.
    Requirement 2: Generation of PDF from a template.
    The best product for you is LiveCycle Output. It will take a template from LiveCycle designer, either static of dynamic, and create PDF at moderate volumes. I'd suggest that you look at Designer, including its template import facilities, and then consider how you can get the data for your placeholders into XML format. Output is then quite easy to do the data merge, formatting, and PDF generation.

  • Dynamic tables with data driven visibility of columns (XML).

    Hi
    I am trying to make a template in LiveCycle Designer (XDP) with a dynamic table, and with dynamic visibility of columns.
    I want the column visibility to be driven by the xml input.
    (There is no user input.)
    I want the columns to visible in the table only if one or more of the rows has a data cell with value in a spesific column. If not the entire column should dissappear from the generated pdf.
    If that is not possible, my alternative is so set a value in th XML file to hide a tables column. But how?
    I have no problems of making dynamic tables, that is solved.
    I only want to hide unused columns in a table, defined in the xml source file.
    Can anyone help?
