Using IMB Postal Code with LiveCycle Designer ES

I am trying to add an IMB postal code field to my form that auto-populates based on the 5 or 9 digit zip
the user enters. I found the IMB filed and dragged it to the form. Gave it the same name as the zip code field the user keys. However, after I key in the zip code it returns the following error:
Invalid Barcode Value: 24551-3938 is an invalid value for barcodes of type USImb.
Can anyone assist with this issue? It actually creates a IMB barcode if I ignore the error message and tab through but when I compare the IMB created to an actual one from some mail pieces I received using this address ... they are not the same at all.

Hi,
Not sure why you are resolving the node (??), also I would not be inclined to include a period in the object name (.), maybe this is why you are resolving the node.
Also I don't see in the script where you are calling the instanceManager, in order to use the addInstance method.
Having said that the problem may be in the File > Form Properties > Defaults tab:
Check that Preserve script changes is set to Automatic.
Lastly is the form Reader Enabled? It would need to be for users with Reader to save the changes, including new instances of a repeating element.

Reader 11.0.07 does not display content of PDFs created with LiveCycle Designer ES 8.1

We use some PDFs created with LiveCycle Designer ES 8.1 which do not show any content when opened with Reader 11.0.07, only a blank display area or erratic copies of the screen behind it. Documents look fine in print preview though and also print correctly. Tried to change various security or display settings, no effect. Tried other machines, different hardware, different OS versions (Win7, Win8), same effect on every single device with 11.0.07 installed.
Any ideas, anyone?!?

Is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

Hi,
Only if the form has been Reader Enabled before it is sent out to the user with Reader.
There are two ways of Reader Enabling the form. One using Acrobat Standard v9 or Acrobat Professional v8 (both have license restrictions). The other is to use LC Reader Extensions ES2, which is a server product (additional costs).
Some info here:

A search of the forums for "Reader Extensions" or "Reader Enable" will give more information.

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.

Uploading pdf files created with LiveCycle Designer ES4

I uploaded some pdf files to my server that were designed with LiveCycle Designer ES4. I can open them directly from the server using my SmartFTP program, however when I
try to download using the URL, I get the following message:
Please wait. . .
If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contenst of teh document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows . . . .
I have both the latest version of Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro XI installed on the computer.
Any thoughts??

IPad PDF with LiVeCycle Designer

Will I ever be able to open a PDF on my iPad that was created with LiveCycle Designer?

XFA (LiveCycle) support is a feature that is requested frequently. As such, it is something we are looking to provide some level of support for in a future release. If the Mobile Reader were to support Static XFA form fill-in, would this meet your needs? Or do you require additional features above and beyond this capability?

Using iWeb HTML code with email autoresponder software

Hi, I'd like to be able to use iWeb html code with an email autoresponder package, however, the text in the resulting emails is unformatted and has no images. My chosen company,AWeber, haven't been able to solve this yet for me (I've tried all the major autoresponder companies with same result).
I've tried hosting my email page both to Mac.com and www but it makes no difference.
I've seen similar queries in this forum - has anyone cracked it yet?
Thanks

Not sure what you expect. Your URL is absolute and pointing to a local file resource. It's not a proper relative HTML link. Beyond that it's toatlly unclear how you actually plan to load your image and where they are hosted, so nobody can tell you anything. Either way, there is an obviously painful lack of understanding of even the most basic web techniques, so the best advise anyone would give you is to spend some time with a web search and actualyl learn some of that stuff...

Hello,
Do you want to make the form editable?
If yes,
To make this you need to Reader Extend the form by following steps.
- Open the form in Acrobat Professional.
- Click on Advanced option and then on Enable usage rights…here you can select the various usage rights to be enabled.
- Save the file.
Now you can distribute this form and users can fill in save for their records, print.

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!

Hi,
Why do you need to change the connection string? What are you calling "connection string for a form"???
The only connection string I now about is the one used to connect to the UI API... and this one is fixed for all apps in debug mode and given as parameter when your addon is registered in B1.
The connection string is filled in the code of your generated addon.
Please go to the main class of your addon, in the main method you have the following code where the connection string is filled either with the command line parameters (release mode) or with the fixed value given by SAP. This code doesn't need to be changed...
        public static void Main()
            int retCode = 0;
            string connStr = "";
            bool diRequired = true;
            // CHANGE ADDON IDENTIFIER BEFORE RELEASING TO CUSTOMER (Solution Identifier)
            string addOnIdentifierStr = "";
            if ((System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().Length == 1)) {
                connStr = B1Connections.connStr;
            else {
                connStr = System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().GetValue(1).ToString();
            try {
                // INIT CONNECTIONS
                retCode = B1Connections.Init(connStr, addOnIdentifierStr, diRequired);

Is it possible to build a "click to enlarge" option for images with Livecycle Designer?

Hello! I have built an audit form where the auditors report conditions and add photos by using an image field that when clicked, gives them a dialog box to choose a picture. The photos initially just load as a small image on the screen - a little bigger than a thumbnail and just large enough so you can see what they're talking about. However, I'd like to add an option that would allow the reader to click (or do something) which would enlarge or zoom the image, and then return to its initial smaller size.
I don't even know if it's possible and all my searching and reading hasn't come up with any solutions. The best I can come up with as an alternative is to build some pages at the end of the audit report called "Photo Gallery" and use the global data option to sort of feed in whatever pictures are added into a larger image place on those gallery pages. Not exactly what I was looking for, but at least it's a step in the right direction.
Thanks for any ideas you might send my way!
Jan

Hi Jan,
You could try having a custom dialog with a larger version of the image and then open the dialog when they click a button that covers the image on the form.
Here is an example. https://sites.google.com/site/livecycledesignercookbooks/home/ClickToEnlarge.pdf?attredire cts=0&d=1
The dialog code used in the example was generated using the method described here ... Adobe LiveCycle Designer Cookbooks by BR001: Using app.execDialog() in an Adobe Designer Form
If your pictures are big then you will need another way of storing the image data, which is currently just a big JavaScript string literal, you'll see what I mean in the example.
Regards
Bruce

How to add warning message while using 'print' function in Adobe LiveCycle Designer

I am trying to make pdf document for my company which requires adding a warning message while anyone use 'print' function from the page...
Does anyone know how to add warning message on LiveCycle Designer
Also my supervisor mentioned something using 'nag' if that rings any bell

No you shoudl never go into the XML source unless uinstricted to do so.
You can open the script editor (under the window menu). It will appear above the drawing area but below the toolbars. You can resize it if there is not enough room. When you click on an object in the form you can choose an event to script against in the Show dropdown. In your case you will want to choose the prePrint event. A line will show up that indicates the object that is associated with the script as well as the event and other information. Add your script below this line. Once that is done you are finished and your form is ready for testing.

Display issue with LiveCycle Designer ES4 for cropped PDF in WIN7

Hi,
I am having issue displaying the cropped PDF file in the LiveCycle Designer ES4. The PDF files are cropped 3 inches from bottom using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. It used to display properly when we have a WinXP machine but once we moved to a Win7 machine, it cannot display the top part of the PDF anymore. Can anyone help on how to fix the display issue? Thanks.
Kenny
Environment:
Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES4 V11.0.0.2013.0303.1.892433

Win 7, LiveCycle Designer does not display properly
Win XP, LiveCycle Designer used to display properly

Thanks vNohria.
I am having same issue with Adobe Acrobat 9. The Acrobat 9 cropped file is displaying properly under WinXP but have the same issue as above in Win7. This issue seems uncommon as I tried to look for similar issue and couldn't find any.
P.S. It's only the Design View in Win7 that has the issue, I can still see the file fine with Preview PDF in both enviornment.
