Visible (screen Only) is not working ok

Hello everybody:
I've been experiencing some problems whenever I try to put an object with the "Visible (Screen Only)" presence property. The issue comes whenever I print the form: it always show all the objects. That happens to me when I use forms imported from a previously scanned document (importing the documents as an image), but not with new ones.
I'm using LiveCycle Es2 and I changed the program properties in order to make the form compatible with 8.1 or later versions.
Does anybody know anything about this?
Thanks for your time!
Regards,
Javier Maíllo

Hi,
It would be better to post to the main forum and not in the FAQ.
I can't check now, but I suspect that the visible (screen only) property did not exist in Acrobat/Reader 8.1.
Go to the Warnings tab and see if there is a version warning there. If there is you can either up the target version or have script in the object's prePrint and postPrint events.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Hi Javier,
I had a chance to look at this now and I think the issue may be the fact that the form was created by importing an existing Word/PDF document. Depending on how you do this, the form may only be saved as a Static PDF form and certain dynamic functionality (like Visible Screen Only) will not be available.
I don't think you will get the previous advice of prePrint/postPrint script to work either (changing the presence of the objects), as this would require the form to be saved as a Dynamic XML Form in the save as dialog.

Visible (Screen Only) not working properly

This seems like it should be such and easy thing to figure out, yet I cannot understand why, when I print the form, it still prints. Can someone troubleshoot this one for me please? Here's my form:
https://acrobat.com/#d=Bktug5D4t0vBOcim5z2AQA
The field that is set to Visible (Screen Only) is the dropdown field "Reason". But it still prints.
Thanks!
Jo

I was having this same issue, and after reading this post, tried the following...
1) Changing the version of my document to v8.
Result: this didn't work. Objects marked "visible: screen only" still print.
2) Creating a NEW form in v8. Copying and pasting the objects from my previous form in this form.
Result: this works. Objects marked "visible: screen only" still print.
So based on this little experiment, and the previous posts here, I think it is safe to say that the document must be created as v8 right from the start. Simply changing the version of a pre-v8 form will not work.

Presence value Visible (Screen Only) not working?

I set the Presence value to Visible (Screen Only) for a group of eight check boxes on my form. When the form is printed on CPUs with Acrobat Professional version, the check boxed do not print, however, when printed on CPUs with Acrobat Standard version, the check boxes print on the form. I guess Im asking if anyone has a solution to stop the boxes from printing.
The form was designed in LiveCycle Designer v.8 and we are on Acrobat version 8 for both Professional and Standard users.
Thanks,
Marlene

I'm sorry. I just found out that the Standard users are on V7. The form works correclty on Standard V8.

Presence: Visibility vs Visibility (Screen Only) Help

I need help regarding this function. I have made an application form. I have a section with a few text boxes (not fields) that are for instructional purposes only. When the application is printed these boxes should not print. I have selected the Visibly (Screen Only) for these text objects yet that still print and I cannot find anything in the help features that can tell me why and tell me how to fix it. I have made several changes to this application form from the original and in the original template the Visible (Screen only) worked for these text objects. So I don't know what I have done and how I can fix it. Can someone help me? Thank you!

Attached is the file as requested. I have Acrobat 9 Pro/Life Cycle Design ES. I have also stumbled into a problem that users can not save a copy. So when its submitted its a blank form. How do I give them the right to save? Should be an easier solution but so far I have been unsuccessful to fix it. thank you for your help.

What's going on with ios8... Screen rotate does not work anymore, wifi doesn't work very well anymore and apps are crashing or running slow... Come on Apple sort this mess out

ssince I updated my iPhone 5s to ios8 ive had nothing but problems...
first the the screen rotation is not working... Checked the settings and lock is off.... The wifi is intermittent, some times it works sometimes it doesn't....
the he iPhone is really slow now, like really labouring.... It hangs and crashes all the time.... I have to close apps down completely because they won't work from quick launch anymore.... Even writing this the phone is labouring.... It's like my old 48k spectrum.... I don't expect this from Apple and when you spend £400-500 on a phone you expect it to work and play propperly.... come on Apple you need to sort out this mess of a update.... Ios 7 was no bother......

Same issue here... iphone5S 64GB. It's intermittent. Sometimes the rotation works fine, sometimes it doesn't, but most of the time it doesn't work.
The first time I figured out it wasn't working was when all newly-taken photos and videos were showing up in portrait mode though I always hold in landscape mode when photographing.
Rotation lock is disabled (tried toggling it on and off). Tried recalibrating the compass on a whim, no effect (although my compass seems to always require calibration when it's launched now).
This issue only started happening after upgrading to iOS8. I did a reset/restore through iTunes rather than an OTA upgrade.
UPDATE - power-cycling the phone seems to fix it temporarily.

IChat 4.0.7 Screen Sharing does not work.

Me and my friend both have identical machines, the intel iMac 20" 2.66mhz
Software is identical
iChat version is identical (4.0.7 (616))
Video Chat works perfectly, our internet connections are fantastic, no issues there.
Both using Netgear routers with uPnP enabled.
Internet Sharing is OFF
Firewall is "set access for specific services and applications" and iChat and iChat Agent are added.
I conclude that Screen Sharing *does NOT work* as advertised.
Apple, I am most disappointed, get it sorted for next release please.
Who else has witnessed this epic failure?
Thanks,
edit
Also, what is this iChat AV nonsense? Where are the iChat 4 forums?

Thanks again Leo for your help,
Yes I was refering to the screen sharing in system preferences/sharing.
Checked the video menu:
Screen sharing enabled
Camera enabled
microphone enabled
so no that's not it! Was hoping it was something simple like that too.
Both netgear routers dont have any ports forwarded, just upnp enabled.
The frustrating thing is, both macs are new, one is only days old, and neither mac has had it's setting messed about with or anything.
It would be great to find the solution, 100's of people having similar issues if you google it.
*edit*
Just a thought, would the type of account make a difference? At the moment we are both using the type of accounts that iChat creates when you select "get an iChat account" (creates a [email protected] login)

Printing visible (screen only) forms which have been returned?

Hello, I'm a bit new to this lifecycle designing.
I created a questionnaire on a seperate programme and then used Lifecycle to make it interactive for people to fill out.
Now as I was using a pre-produced questionnaire I selected all the fields as 'visible (screen only)' so that people could print it out without the fields in the way.
The "interactive" ones I have had come back via email and have put them in a dataset. I can see all the data on the screen but can't print their responses out due to the fields not being visible.
Is there a way I can overcome so I can print the forms out with their reponse within?
Thanking you in advance.

For future forms or your current ones?
For future ones you can make one field with some kind of password field, that will make the other fields visible for print when you type in your password string the user will NEVER enter (like: "ieughsughesgbes".)
If the password is written correctly it could be overwritten with the old data.
All you need are simple if sentences on a dynamic form to make a field visible.

Screen Saver does not work

My screen saver only works when no one is logged on. Otherwise, the screen saver never kicks in. I have a Toshiba Satellite M305-S4848.

How to take object from hidden to visible (screen only)

Steve,
I see what your saying but I need to make it screen only visible so it will not print,

My lock screen button is not working and i turned off my iphone with assistive touch. Now i cant turn my phone back on!

I used assistive touch to turn off my iphone, because my lock screen button is not working, so now i cant turn it back on! What i did was, i went to assistive touch, then i held down the lock screen button to turn it off. Now i can't turn it back on.

To turn it back on when you use assistive touch, all you have to do is plug your iphone into a charger and it will power back on

My passcode is working to unlock the screen but does not work with restriction passcode. Should they be different?

My passcode is working to unlock the screen but does not work with restriction passcode.
Tried it several times but it did not work, though i can use the phone and all features even after 13 failed attempts.
Should restriction passcode be different from what i set?

There is no default restriction password. If you didn't set it someone else may have. If you can't find it then you may have to follow the steps here:
Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or ...
Do you have a backup which might not have this restriction passcode? If so restore to that backup?

F is the default shorcut for »Change Screen Mode« for me, so I’m not sure what you want with the qualifier keys.
Have you changed your Edit > Keyboard Shortcut?
