Upgraded to XI, wont let me create from Scratch or Template

Good day,
I created some forms back in 2008 with LiveCycle (version 9, maybe earlier).   
We just upgraded to XI Pro and Live Cycle ES4.    I understand I cannot update a form I created in LC using Pro.  However, I just wanted to create a simple form using Pro and when I chose to create, I got a dialog box that said how would I like to create a form? 
I had 2 options
From Scratch or Template  - This was grayed out
From Existing Document
I could not create from scratch. Has anyone else encountered this and possible solution?
Thank you.

You don't create Acrobat forms "from scratch" in the way of LiveCycle Designer forms. You make a PDF with the background (static) stuff you want, convert to PDF, then add form fields.
There is no longer integration to Designer in Acrobat; you are still free to start a new form by starting Designer if you have it.

    My macbook seems to be going crazy. At certain points (and for hours) I get the oh snap page on chrome, safari doesnt work, macbook wont let me create any files or for example upload music to itunes. I restored my mac so im sure its not a malware problem. The only thing that solves it is switching off and on , but sometimes I have to do that for 6-7 times before its ok or wait for a few hours. Some help please

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Possible Bug in PDFs created from a common template

    At work we've encountered an odd problem that seems to be growing.
    Our printer setup:
    HL-8050n and a HP LaserJet 5550.
    Process:
    We have a Word template we use for all documents.
    We convert all documents to PDFs before sending them to clients.
    The Problem:
    Over the past few months, a specific user I'll call Sam kept having problems with PDFs that wouldn't print to the HL-8050. The same PDF would print fine to the HP 5550 though. When this problem occurred, any other document would print fine to either printer (text files, picture, other PDFs, etc). When transferred to another machine, the same PDF would still not print.
    If you watch the printer, it begins to process the document and then flashes "Ignore Data" or "Data Error." Then the document is never processed.
    At first, only Sam had the problem. Then other users had the problem, but only with documents created by Sam. Now, several users are being affected by the same problem no matter who created the document.
    I don't believe it is the printer because it will print any other type of document, including other open PDFs, when this strange problem occurs.
    I do believe it might be related to the Word template we use. Previously, not all users had the same template type (for design reasons). However, we've switched and now the template is the same for all users. The template is on a shared network resource, is not writable (except by root - that is how locked down it is), and is only readable. The problem has expanded since the use of the common template.
    Something seems to be happening when the users export the document from Word to the PDF format.
    Also, this only occurs on Intel based Macs. Not on PCs. And it doesn't affect the one non-Intel Mac in the office. Another note: when you view the affected PDFs in a folder, the icon is the PDF icon. However, when dragged to the desktop, the icon changes to a generic icon even though the file extension is the same.
    Has anyone else had weird printing issues with their documents?
    EDIT: UPDATE: Printing the document from the built in Preview application is successful. But printing from Acrobat 8.0 Pro is not.

    I asked this morning, and she can print PDF documents not created from the word template. Some PDFs from the template work and some don't - I haven't been able to narrow it down to a specific factor.
    I've repaired the permissions on the file as well as on the entire machine. And the version of word is Office 2008 fully updated.
    I'm tempted to mark it off as an issue with the HL-8050n. But seeing as printing from Leopard's preview app works perfectly, it must be an Acrobat problem.
    Is there a way to run Acrobat in a debug mode or to get some sort of detailed status messages from its printing attempts?
    EDIT/UPDATE:
    The printer uses the HL-8050n BR3 driver. However, the problem persists even if I change the driver (I've used Adobe drivers, generic post script, similar models to the HL8050). They all result in a print from Preview but not from Acrobat.

  • Acrobat XI - Create Form, from scratch or template greyed out

    Morning All
    I have a user that has just had Acrobat XI installed and he has gone to make a form but the "From Scratch or Template" option in the Create Form window is greyed out and unavailable.  He can only pick "From existing document".  Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it?
    He is running Windows 7 64 bit.
    Thanks

    The forms central app can be used to design and layout simple forms, either from scratch or by using one of the many templates that are available, and then convert them to PDF forms. The layout options are rather limited compared to the freedom you have with forms created in Acrobat, but sometimes that's just what's needed. I think the biggest benefit to using FormsCentral is not related to the form designer but rather the server that securely collects and stores the submitted forms data. A form created in Acrobat can take advantage of this just like a form created with the FormsCentral app. Note that a form created in the FormsCentral app can be either a web form (HTML) or converted to a PDF form. Each has its limitations and benefits, so which one you choose depends on what's needed. So to summarize, there are three types of forms you can create with Acrobat 11:
    1. A PDF form (Acroform) created entirely in Acrobat, starting from a source document that's been converted to PDF. Form fields are added in Acrobat and they can be configured/programmed to achieve the desired behavior. Can be used with the FormsCentral service or any number of other ways (submit to form data or entire PDF to web server, email, standalone, etc.)
    2. A PDF form created in the FormsCentral app. Can be used with the FormsCentral service to collect submitted form data or by itself, usually via email.
    3. A web form (HTML) create in the FormsCentral app to be used with the FormsCentral service.

  • What is the impact of destroying and re-creating from scratch the Open Directory Master?

    In order to try and solve some nasty issues hat I have since upgrading to OS X Server 3,0 I am considering completely destroying my OD Master and re-creating the users and groups from scratch. Before doing so (of course I will have multiple backups) I would like to understand:
    1.   When re-creating the users and groups is it sufficient to use the same ‘Unix’ groupid and userid numbers or do I also need to use the original GeneratedUIDs (is that even possible)? Are there any other aspects of the users/groups that I need to be sure to preserve?
    2.   Will there be any impact to services and their data from doing this? Specifically, I have users with data in Mail, Calendar, Contacts and the WiKi. Will they still be able to access their data after the OD destroy/re-create or is that data somehow tied to more than just the username (e.g. does it use the user/group UUID or indeed any other UUID from OD)?
    3.   Will there be any impact to OS X clients bound to the OD? Should I unbind them before destroying and re-bind them afterwards? Will there be any negative impact on the network users who log in via these systems (they all have ‘mobile’ accounts which do *not* sync to the server - all their data is local to the client)?
    Thanks in advance for any advice especially from anyone who has gone through this process.
    Chris

    Hi Rob,
    I have solevd my issue and I did not need to destroy / re-create the Open Directory. See my post here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5785838 for all the gory details. The long and the short of it was that my problems all came from a point in the past when I changed the hostname of my server after I had created the Open Directory master. Seems like that is a very bad idea! Based on what I found it seems liek any small flaw in DNS forward and reverse name resolution can also cause similar issues. I don't knwo if either of thsoe may apply to your situation?
    As part of troubleshooting my issue I actually created a 'replica' of my server setup on another machine includingthe OD and associated users and groups. What I found was that many services (certainly mail, calendar and contacts) depend completely on the OD users and groups UUIDS. So if you wish to preserve user's data across an OD destroy and re-create it is vital that you carefully note for each group its Unix GID and its OD UUID and for each user their Unix uid, primary group id and UUID. When you are re-creating your OD master, as you create each group, use Directory editor to change its UUID to the original value. Similarly for Users. If you don't then users will no longer have access to any existign Mail, Contacts or Calendar data afterwards!
    HTH,

  • Creating from scratch, a css layout for my website

    I am building a website from scratch and I would like to use CSS.  I am conceptualizing the design, however, I am struggling with designing it and working with the div tags.  I would like to have two sidebars, one on each side, and for them to be tri-colored, which means I have to create three small boxes and align them closely together, each a different color (the colors are part of the theme to my website). Of course the links on the sidebars would be white, and then change colors when hovered over or clicked on.  I would like to have a header and a footer, with the header containing my logo and if and only if I can get real fancy; a scrolling message.  My footer would contain additional links such as 'additional links', and 'contact us' and all the necessary copywrite info.  Please let me know, if first, my conception of this layout makes sense, and if so, what tutorial you could recommend for me to view that would assist in my web site development.
    Thank you, all you great tech minds out there!

    I'm with Murray.  I don't think you should concern yourself with HTML5 and CSS3 yet. 
    Stick with XHTML and CSS2.  When I was learning to work with CSS positioning, it was immensely helpful to use a pre-built layout.   And I learned a great deal from looking at source code.
    Look at the DW Starter pages described below:
         Dreamweaver CSS Templates for beginners
         http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dreamweaver_custom_templates.html
         New DW Starter Pages --
         http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/introducing_new_css_layouts.html
    If you have some money to spend, Project Seven has some excellent CSS Templates.  If you plan to do more projects, CSS Layout Magic is a nice extension for prototyping inside DW.

  • Combine wizard with create from scratch?

    I am a novice user. I have an existing Word document that I am trying to convert to a writable PDF. In the middle of the form there is a large area where I would like to be able to cut and paste large blocks of test. When I use the wizard, it reads each line I have created as a separate text field, so that when I cut and paste, you can't see all of the text. I tried to put in a number of returns in the document, rather than using typed "lines," but that wouldn't convert.  I know that I can create a multi-line text field if I don't use the wizard, but does that mean I have to create the whole form from scratch? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The wizard is part of Designer. You should ask in the LiveCycle forum that covers Designer.
