Uninstall LiveCycle Designer 9 via script

Hello,
I am having issues with LiveCycle Designer 9 that got installed inadvertently with a mass roll out of Acrobat 10.1.8 via SCCM.
I am in a very large environment (80,000 + systems per network covering 3 networks) and during our deployment of 10.1.8, LiveCycle got installed. Well now we are faced with the large challenge of uninstalling it.
What I need is for someone to help me with a .bat file that we can use with SCCM to uninstall LiveCycle Designer 9.
I may be blind, but I have not been able to find anyone on the web that has done this and can’t find it in the Adobe forums.
Any ideas or has anyone successfully done an automated uninstall of LiveCycle Designer 9?
Thank you.

I'd contact Adobe support.

LiveCycle Designer 8-scripting search Access DB records

Hi
I am new to LiveCycle Designer 8 having it included with Acrobat Pro 8. I have been trying to set up a basic form that can interact with an Access 2007 DB. Following the help guide, online tutorials, I have been able to set up the data connection, figure out how to establish a "trusted environment" and added several buttons as a test. Using JS, the next, previous, update, first and last buttons work, populating the form fields with the sample DB data and updating the DB (update). Can't get the add new record button to work even though the JS scripting is precisely that shown in the same tutorials for the other buttons. If I delete the text in the on screen cells in the .pdf form, enter new text, click add, all that I added disappears. Checking the DB, nothing has been added. Same difficulty with deleting a record, and the current opened record does not delete.
Reading a posting suggesting setting up an SQL query instead, leaving of any auto-incrementing item (like ID), and using the JS scripting for the button (don't yet know how to use SQL for next, previous, update, etc.), still couldn't get the add new or delete to work. Tried every combo of no user name, no password to user name, password blank, etc. No success.
The other needed capability for the test form is the ability to search the DB records, for example by name or ID, for example by the user entering a name or ID in a text input box, clicking a "search" button and the record (if it exists) displaying in the other cells. Then, once found, it could be updated or deleted. One tutorial aims to populate a drop down list box with the data from a specific DB column. It doesn't use JS, rather FormCalc (which kept generating error messages, when I tested it out))and is far too complex for my limited novice skills. If I could display a drop down list box with all of the names and ID's in a DB, the user could choose one and once the record would populate the cells, they could update or delete it.
So, I'm stuck. Can't get the add new or delete to work and can't figure out how to set up a search to identify records for update or delete. I've read and read anything I can find online, in the Adobe knowledge base, forum, blog postings, trying out many ideas without any success.
I am hoping someone can help with some suggestions, sample scripts, hopefully understandable by a beginner.
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Stephen

Required Fields Not Working in LiveCycle Designer 7.0

Hi, I'm new to LiveCycle Designer and scripting. I have created a 12 page form with "User Entered - Required" fields on the first 11 pages. My problem is that once information is entered in the required fields on page 1, the form is allowing the user to submit without completing the remaining required fields. I am using the "Email Submit" button at the end of my form. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Sudhir,
May be script is not generating. Can you find the follwoing piece of code in your Submit button click event:
ContainerFoundation_JS.SendMessageToContainer(event.target, "submit", "", "", "", "");
Do one thing :
open your form from Tcode: SFP in change mode. And on top there is an option called Utilities.
Under that select "Insert Webdynpro Script". Activate your form.

Trial Version of LiveCycle Designer 7.1 Missing PDF Preview

Following the HELP/Getting Started instructions to test 7.1, I notice that I do not have the "PDF Preview" tab next to the "Body Pages" tab. I never noticed this missing tab until the final steps of the exercise instruct me to use it. I would really like to continue in the tutorial, but until I get this figured out, I don't want to waste time if the product is faulty. (I was really getting into it...when my heart sank!) Can anyone help me?

In addition, it is my understanding and experience (with version 6) that it must be installed
b prior
to installing LiveCycle Designer. If that requirement continues with version 7 that means that at this point you would have to uninstall LiveCycle Designer, install Acrobat or the latest Reader and then reinstall LiveCycle Designer.
I suggest you save your work (forms, custom library elements, etc) before uninstalling so you can restore it after reinstalling.

Uninstall string/command for Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8

I would like to uninstall, via a command line/uninstall string, the Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8 package on multiple PCs. Can someone provide me with this information? I see there is a manual uninstall through the add/remove programs, but this is not an option. It came packaged with our Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional software.
Thanks.

Hi Markus,
Thank you for reply.

Is there any other way to find this installation?
And on SAP GUI DVD, can you tell me its location?
Thanks and regards,

How can I use a script in a Livecycle Designer form, to force display of text in Title Case?

Hello,
I am a 'novice' who is DIY'ing the construction of a dynamic pdf form, using Adobe Livecycle Designer 7 (I know, it's a VERY old version!)
[So, any help that comes along must be 'for Idiots'!]
I need to construct a code (Java script?) so that a few of my text-fields DISPLAY data in Title Case - IRRESPECTIVE of how the user types in the data.
So, for example, in a "Address" text-field...
If someone types in ..
"205 sherborne avenue"
- OR -
"205 Sherborne avenue"
- OR -
"205 SHERBORNE AVENUE"...
I need the data to be DISPLAYED ESSENTIALLY as...
"205 Sherborne Avenue".
I found the following code online, and tried it in the 'exit' event of the field I need to modify (with 'language' selected as JavaScript)...
< this.rawValue = this.rawValue.replace(/\b([a-z])/g, function (_, initial) {return initial.toUpperCase();}); >
... This did convert all the 'initial' letters of the words to Upper Case - AS LONG AS they were not ALL typed in Upper Case!
So, that code worked for the first two of my samples for Sherborne Avenue above - but it did NOT work for the last one...
That is, "205 SHERBORNE AVENUE" did NOT get converted to Title Case - which is what I need help with.
Thanks in advance...

Hey TundraSteve,
Thanks a tonne!
Works perfectly!!!
In fact, your solution is so elegant and direct, that even I am beginning to get a sense of how it works... I have looked at LOTS of similar codes in the past few days, but was not at all getting a sense of how they are working! But comparing your solution with the earlier one I mentioned, I am beginning to get a sense of things!
Any suggestions for what I should read-up in order to understand this king of coding?
I have basically been using the built-in 'Help' - and, trial-and-error - and I have designed my first form - a pretty elaborate one, actually!
So, it would be great if you could guide me through the 'learning curve' a bit!
[I have figured-out the 'basics' - that is, I can lay out the form, use 'if-expressions' (FormCalc), trigger events, even build Subforms that are hidden but 'appear' when triggered by other actions, and so on. What I can't figure out are the various 'code languages' (syntax?) that are being used - like " var sometext", for eg.!]
Cheers, and thanks again!

How to activate script debugging in Adobe Livecycle designer

Friends,
I would like to know how to activate script debugging in the Adobe Livecycle designer. I need to debug the scripts written in the script editor.
Thanks and Regards.

Syntax checking is available in designer from version 8.1 onwards.
If you want to enable in Adobe Reader then go to Edit --> Preferences --> JavaScript --> Enable the option Show console on Errors on messages.
Apart from it the alternative way to debug the scripts is to use xfa.host.messageBox and check the values.

Uninstall Adobe LiveCycle Designer

Hi to all,
I installed CS3 Design Premium on my laptop, including Acrobat Professional 8. It installed Adobe LiveCycle Designer too, but I don't use it, so I want to remove it to recover HD space.
I ran the installation DVD of CS3 to get rid of the application, but It doesn't show the option to remove only LiveCycle Designer and keep the Acrobat 8 Installation intact.
Is there a way to remove it safety?
I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, Intel Centrino Duo processor, 1.5 Gb of ram.
Thanks in advance

Hi Jaun,
What you need todo is goto Add/Remove Programs.. and then click "Remove/Modify" Acrobat...
In the configuration popup wizard
--> click Modify application
--> When the wizard gives the option to select components, deselect LC Designer
Awesome... trust this will sort you out

Adobe LiveCycle Designer query data from MII 12.0 via Webservice

Hi folks,
at the moment I'm "learning" how to create interactive forms with the Adobe LiveCycle Designer. I hope anyone already did something like that too and can help me a bit?!
Creating forms with XML data in the background etc. is not that problem. Also using little schemas to provide data to a dropdown list - I fand that no trouble. But now I want to request some dynamic data from an external data provider.
I have a nice book from SAP Press laying next to me that tells me how to create a webservice based on a BAPI in SAP and how that webservice delivers some table data. But before I try to get data out of SAP, I would like to retrieve data by using MII (12.0 at first). I already built a transaction that creates some XML and imported the WSDLGen as a new data connection in Adobe LC Designer. No problem so far. I can execute it and I get some data back. But the XML that comes back is not formatted as table data as expected from Adobe LC so I can't build a table from it. I only receive the first dataset - every value as a single value, not as a table or row.
So does anyone know how to format the XML result in MII or how to combine it with a schema so that Adobe LC Designer is able to interprete it as table data? In the SAP example in the book the received data from the data connection of the webservice is shown as table data (a litte table icon) and my data from MII is shown as single values...
Thanks
Anika

It sounds like you need use the adobe schema in MII so the output of your transaction matches it.

Redistilling an Encrypted PDF - Acrobat 9 Pro Extended & Livecycle Designer ES2

Hello There - a little help or advice please!
I have created a very comprehensive interactive form in Livecycle Designer ES2, complete with many interactive buttons (visible screen only).
This document is then completed on screen in Acrobat or Reader which all works fine.
For the end user, a copy of the completed and processed form need's to be distributed, purely as a Read Only document which allows no copying of text or images. I can apply these settings via Security Management in Acrobat which is fine, but all of the interactive buttons are still visible on screen and for some reason the email submit button is still active.
The perfect solution would be to use Adobe PDF printer as it also reduces the file size (which works fine with No security settings) however I am aware that encrypted files cannot be redistilled which is what I really need. Unfortunately I cannot have end users having the ability to copy the images or text within the read only document.
I've seen on the Livecycle ES2 forum that it would be possible to lock all the fields by adding script and hence make the fillable form non fillable, but it is removing the buttons and stopping the ability to copy text / images I am slightly more interested in. Any advice would be gratefully received especially if there may be a workaround.
Thankyou!

I can't open the Form Tools though is what I'm saying. When I open the document in Acrobat 9 Pro I have no form tools.
I have to go to [Forms] -> [Edit Forms in Designer] in order to open the form tools.
Only when I select to open in designer I do not get the Acrobat Pro Designer, it automatically opens the document in LiveCycle and I have no option or ability to change the document designer to Acrobat Pro.
Is there some way I can "Force" the docement to open in Acrobat 9 Pro designer JUST so I can add the print button?

Livecycle Designer XI deployment

I'm trying to see if you have deployment tools for Livecycle Designer XI. I've tried using the AAME and it won't work. I've also looked a CS Deployment Toolkit for CS4 and that doesn't work. I'm trying to setup so I can easily deploy via a script and include company name and license info so it doesn't have to be done manually. Any help would be great.

Command Line Syntax Example:
msiexec.exe /i "[FILE_PATH]\Designer.msi" USERNAME="THE_USERNAME" COMPANYNAME="THE_COMPANY_NAME" SERIALNUMBER="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXX" /L*v "[PATH_TO_VERBOSE_INSTALL_LOG]\DesignerInstallLog.log" /quiet

LiveCycle Designer 7, Display Pattern not working

With Adobe LiveCycle Designer version 7.1.2295.1.242059:
I have a Form that has fields that the user fills out and an "Email Submit Button" where when the user clicks it, it submits the form via email that attaches a .xml file. When I receive the email, I noticed that all the "Date" fields data does not have the slashes in them unless the user specifically uses the pop-up calendar form to set the date value for each of these fields. If the user just types in the date as "02192007", the data does not get converted to "02/19/2007".
I tried modifying the various Pattern properties of the date fields on the form, but that does not seem to fix the problem.
Also, if I set the following "date{MM/DD/YYYY}|date{M/D/YYYY}" as my "Validation Pattern:" for my Date fields, and everytime I enter "2/19/2007", I keep getting my "Validation Pattern Message", indicating that the format is wrong. However, if I enter "02" as the month, it works fine; only single digit months fail.
The other settings for this field that I have are:
(Field Tab): Display Pattern: MM/DD/YYYY
(Field Tab): Edit Pattern: MM/DD/YYYY
What am I doing wrong and how can I insure that slashes will come across on the XML file when it is submitted even though I have set the pattern properties?

Designer 8 doesn't help either.
I have the same settings Shweta proposes - but the exported date format is still different.
You can fill the date field via script (like the following) then the date format is allright. To me it looks like the designer's "date format" is simply a string and the designer doesn't care a bit about the display patterns.
var today = new Date();
var dayOfWeek = today.getDay();
var month = today.getMonth()+1;
var year = today.getFullYear();
var day = today.getDate();
this.rawValue = day + "." + month + "." + year;

Adobe Form Designer 5 upgrade to Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7

Hello,
Our team will begin the upgrade process from Adobe Form Designer/Form Server 5 to Adobe LiveCycle Designer/Forms 7 later this month. We've been told by Adobe that this is a significant upgrade.
For those of you that have already been through the process, do you have any advice, lessons-learned, etc. to offer?
Much appreciated,
MM

I'd have to agree that it is a significant upgrade. Perhaps not for features/benefits but in effort.
I can't provide any specifics because we chose not to convert but I can give you an idea on what tasks you might encounter.
I hope you don't have many forms and very little VBScript or default scripting and don't use the API for presenting forms for filling.
We have lots of forms (150 presentation screens [forms] producing 500+ printed forms via the Central Pro Output Server). All the presentation screens use VBScript and they are presented to the user with a VB program using the API. To get the capabilities we needed we used all the stuff that makes the conversion a major effort.
We would have to learn the software, redo the presentation screens, learn the new data model, learn JavaScript, rewrite, test and debug 100s of lines of scripting and learn the new API and rewrite the presentation program. And then to top it all off we would probably have to purchase the horrendously expensive Reader Extension software.
We don't have the staff, time or money for that effort. Besides, we are still in the process of converting forms from our older systems and doing a conversion in the middle of the conversion just doesn't make sense.
All the postings for help in these forums also makes me extremely leary. At least Adobe has put staff to actually helping customers that post here. To begin with that wasn't occurring.

Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES closes every time I open it :(

Hello all, I want to thank you beforehand for the help regarding this matter. I use Windows Vista and my Adobe LiveCycle Designer was working before but for the last week and a half or so I have not been able to get it to work! I have done scandisk/defrag/and have multiple software to keep my computer clean so I have taken those precautions beforehand. To the problem...:
My Adobe LiveCycle Designer opens up and it was working previously as mentioned, but when I try to open it by either opening or converting a form or creating a new form with a template, I am not able to as it gives me an error message and closes! It gives me an error message of "Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES has stopped working" and a screenshot of this is provided at the following link:
http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/bc59d422150595157c212a5b181313244g.jpg
I don't know what to do and wanted to see if I could solve this problem before I was forced to try to manually reinstall it so hopefully I don't have to go through that. I appreciate the help once again!

I am dealing with the same problem. I called Adobe technical support and spent hours to fix the problem but none worked. I tried to explain them the error might be caused by the Activation process but they just made me uninstall and install application several times.
When I start LiveCycle it gives the following error: adobe livecycle designer es has stopped working.
I start debugger to see what's going on and get the following exception: Unhandled exception at 0x773db663 in FormDesigner.exe: 0xC015000F: The activation context being deactivated is not the most recently activated one.
Does anyone know how to deactivate this product manually? Because deactivate menu is dimmed and I cannot deactivate product from the program. I believe if I can just remove activation info and activate it again this problem might disappear.
Thanks

LiveCycle Designer 8.0 Drop-down menu help - newbie

I am new with LiveCycle and do not know much about coding and the like. I've search the forums and have not found quite what I need. (It might be because I don't know the correct terms to search - so I apologize in advance if there was a previous posting regarding this)
I am creating a form for lab tests for referring physicians to fill out.
for simplicity, I will just use the state, city example.
>>>>>> QUESTION 1.
I have dragged/dropped a drop-down menu icon onto the form, gone through the Palette>Object>Field>List Items to compile the list of states (in my real case, a list of lab tests)
How can I get the second drop down menu to show the corresponding cities based on the "state" selected in the first drop down menu? So that when I choose "California" I have the option in the second drop-down menu to choose from "Los Angeles," "Orange County," "Long Beach," etc
VERSUS
if I select "Texas" the list will retrieve "Houston," "Sugarland," "Dallas," etc.
I read about hardcoding and although I'm not quite sure what that means, I think that is what I will be doing as I will not be referencing outside of my form.
Also, the items in these menus are long/descriptive in nature, is there a way to refer to the lists in the code without having to type everything out? In my form (instead of "state") I will have lab tests "Test_1" with CPT codes attached, that is the list includes items like:
93880 - carotid duplex scan, bilateral
93882 - carotid duplex scan, unilateral
and in drop-down list 2 I have items like:
454.0 - varicose vein with ulcer
454.1 - varicose veins with inflammation
it would be such a pain to type each out in the code, but if there are no other ways around it, that is fine too.
>>>>>>> QUESTION 2.
The referring physician will have the option to email this form to the vascular lab scheduler. To prevent an "accidental" changes, I would like the form to be a "live form" for people to fill out, but upon return, the form to be a static PDF file, that is, the person receiving the email does not have the option to make any changes (purposeful or accidental), is there a way to do this?
THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!
again, I apologize for asking for help for what I'm sure is an easy fix. I don't know very much about the coding language, if it is not too much to ask - step-by-step would be helpful.
I'm using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0.
Thank you.

Hi Geo,
Thank you for the link.
Sorry, this is very difficult for me to explain not knowing the scripting language, but I will try my best not to confuse you too much.
I was able to get Thom's example to work, and based on that, I was able to get this hypothetical situation to work:
< script contentType="application/x-javascript" name="Example2" >var oTestOrdered = {
12345678912345678: [ ["-"], ["AAA (Endologix)"], ["AAA (GORE)"], ["Aortic Arch"],["other"]],
56565: [ ["-"], ["Varicose Vein"], ["Venous Insufficiency"], ["Spider Veins"],["Symptomatic Var Veins"]],
46546: [ ["-"], ["TA biopsy"], ["CEA"], ["amputation"], ["debridement"]]
function SetTestEntries()
ICD9_2.clearItems();
ICD9_2.rawValue = null;
var aTests = oTestOrdered[xfa.event.change];
if(aTests && aTests.length)
for(var i=0;i<aTests.length;i++)
ICD9_2.addItem(aTests[i][0].toString());
</ script >
HOWEVER, I cannot get something like this one to work (the only difference is that I added a "9" to the first option) it seems as though I cannot insert anything beyond 17 consecutive characters (no dashes and underscores are allowed either):
< script contentType="application/x-javascript" name="Example2" >var oTestOrdered = {
123456789123456789: [ ["-"], ["AAA (Endologix)"], ["AAA (GORE)"], ["Aortic Arch"],["other"]],
56565: [ ["-"], ["Varicose Vein"], ["Venous Insufficiency"], ["Spider Veins"],["Symptomatic Var Veins"]],
46546: [ ["-"], ["TA biopsy"], ["CEA"], ["amputation"], ["debridement"]]
function SetTestEntries()
ICD9_2.clearItems();
ICD9_2.rawValue = null;
var aTests = oTestOrdered[xfa.event.change];
if(aTests && aTests.length)
for(var i=0;i<aTests.length;i++)
ICD9_2.addItem(aTests[i][0].toString());
</ script >
The form I am creating is a Vascular Lab request form, where the test ordered (drop down box 1)has a CPT code to reference the test being ordered (i.e., 93880 - Carotid Duplex Scan, bilateral) and the test has a set of diagnoses (ICD-9 codes) in drop down box 2, associated with that test (i.e., 459.81 - Venous Insufficiency)
I have found that I do not have a problem with the "diagnoses" but I cannot add the descriptive test select in the first place. That is, the code works fine if I leave it as "93880" but not "93880 - description." I have also run into the problem that I cannot use dashes or underscores, nor can I type more than 17 characters otherwise the code no longer works.
Is there something I need to add or remove in order to make this work?
Thank you in advance for your help and patience!
