VLookup in LiveCycle

VLookup in LiveCycle
Thank you for your posts that have been most helpful in solving some of my issues, but there is one issue I cannot solve. I want to develop an order form for my small business (I had previously created it in Excel with a VLookup formula), which contains a drop down box containing a list of my products. When a customer makes their selection from the drop down list, the relevant price of this item appears in another box.
I understand that VLookup isn't available in LiveCycle but was wondering if this is at all possible and I have very basic knowledge of LiveCycle.
Thank you in anticipation Kerrie

Adobe has provided a sample which has the same functionality..
Here is the form..

Vlookup similar function

I feel a bit heretic bringing VLOOKUP to the topic but there is an issue I'd like to bring forward to you.
In short is the following
1) User inputs Rates to Employee and must bring the lookup value
Scenario:Budget
Version...Ver1
Period: ..BegBalance
Year: ....FY11
Center: Administration
................................................Accounts.....................
..........................................Rate........Lookup value to calculate
Position 120.Employee 1 .......12.00.............D
Position 130.Employee 2 .......13.00.............E
Position 140.Employee 3 .........9.00.............C
Position 150.Employee 4 .........8.00.............B
2) User maintains Rates and Lookup values in a separate "dummy members table".
Scenario:No Scenario
Version...No Version
Period: ..BegBalance
Year: ....No Year
Center: No Center
Position: No Position
..............................Accounts.....................
.............AnnivRate........Lookup value........
Rate 1 ......5.00...........A
Rate 2 ......7.00...........B
Rate 3 ......9.00...........C
Rate 4 .....11.00...........D
Rate 5 .....13.00...........E
Assumptions:
- Rates are in a different branch of the same Employee Dimension (..and perhaps this is wrong)
- If the input rate is between two rates it should take the smaller value.
- The list of Rates is extensive around 50 members
Tried the following...
VAR BaseRate = 0;
VAR lastIncrRate = 0;
VAR counter = 0;
FIX ("No Entity", "BegBalance")
FIX ([Scenario], [Version], [Year], [Center])
"AnnivRate"(
lastIncrRate = "Rate";
/* Lookup in Rates table */
FIX (@DESCENDANTS("Rates"), "No Position", "No Center" )
"AnnivRate"
BaseRate = "AnnivRate";
/* Compare between Rates */
IF (lastIncrDate > BaseRate)
counter = 0;
ELSE
counter = counter + 1;
IF (counter == 1)
Ratecalc = "AnnPeriod";
ENDIF
/* Trying to store the correct value in a temporal value */
ENDIF
ENDFIX
/* Trying to assign the value to the employee position combination*/
"Anniv_Period"
IF ("Headcount." >= 1)
"Lookup value to calculate" == Ratecalc;
ENDIF
ENDFIX
ENDFIX
- The control flow may be wrong, I wish something like in visual basic i.e: FOR Employees.... FOR Rates... NEXT Rates... NEXT Employee (still heretic :-) )
- Any clue is welcome, thanks again!

Acrobat Pro 8 - ok.
However, it still comes back to George's question.
Are you going to use the "traditional" Acrobat forms (aka 'acroforms') or,
LiveCycle Designer?
With the install of your release of Acrobat 'acroforms' capability is, of course, part of the package.
However, a second & independent application, LiveCycle Designer, is also installed.
It is integrated with and accessed through Acrobat.
As the scripting associated with the two, discrete form creation methods are not the same
the 'how-to' George alludes to is predicated on which one you are going to use.
Be well...

Error while invoking Livecycle process with Java

Hi,
I am trying to invoke a short lived process using java code. But when i try doing that i get the following error
cannot access class com.adobe.idp.dsc.clientsdk.ServiceClient; class file has wrong version 49.0, should be 45.3 or 46.0 or 47.0 or 48.0.
I am using the following versions:
Adobe Livecycle: 9.0
java version "1.5.0_03"
JDeveloper: 9.0.5.2
Can some one please suggest the appropriate action i need to take so that i can compile the code.
Thanks in advance

If you are invoking LiveCycle ES2 on JBoss compile with JDK 1.6 and run against JRE 6.

In LIVECYCLE DESIGNER how do I code a submit button to only submit one page of a multipage PDF

I have a multipage PDF I've designed in Livecycle and have print and submit buttons on each unique form in the document. I am able to create code (which I've copied from someplace) that allows only one page to print but when I click the submit button it wants to submit the entire document. PS - I created the Submit from the blank button and have it set to submit PDF not XML.

I don't think you can submit just a page of your PDF like you printed just a page. The difference is that when you print, the PDF becomes dots on paper, while when you submit a PDF it must remain completely intact to be machine readable, especially since the forms on a LiveCycle (XFA) document can have complex dependencies between pages.

PDF created with LiveCycle will not display

All the other PDF links in the email work. However, the document created with LiveCycle give me this error in Firefox. I have made all the updates according to Firefox for Adobe Reader and Java. Still receiving this. Any suggestions??? I can see it in Explorer but not firefox or Chrome. Not everyone that will get this particular document will use Explorer. Unfortunately, I need a fast answer.

Well, since I fixed it in Chrome, it works for me. However, my partner beside me doesn't have Chrome and he gets the same generic screenshot that I had earlier, even though we made the changes in his Firefox. We're baffled...... The interactive form is the only form we can't pull.

Unable to save LiveCycle PDF form in Adobe Reader: Steps on Adobe don't work

I went to follow the steps provided in the help video on Adobe. Two issues I couldn't solve:
How do you login to LiveCycle via the web as an admin? How do you get to the LiveCycle admin portal?
The local host (http://localhost:8080/ReaderExtensions) is unavailable. Every time I try to go there I get a 500 error message page. What is the new local host?
The steps I followed were:
So according to a video on its official website, in order to enable LiveCycle forms in Reader so they can be saved you need an Adobe Reader Extension which means we need a Reader Extension Credential loaded onto the server. For that you need to purchase a Reader extension license from Adobe.
However, there is a trial version Eric or Jay could instal for me on the Remote Desktop. They can find it at:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle.html
They will want to download the “Trial Reader Extensions Certificate” under “Downloads and updates”. It’s a 30 day trial which should work fine for our needs.
The credential then needs to be imported into the Adobe Administrator. To do that they need to:
Login to LiveCycle as an admin (via the web?)
Go to “Settings"
Go to “Trust store management”
Go to “Local credentials”
Click “Import"
Trust store type should be “Reader Extensions Credential”
Give it a name (i.e. Alias)
Browse to credential file
.pfx is the credential file
.txt is the password
Right-click the .txt
Click “Open”
Copy password from notepad
Close notepad
Open the .pfx file
Paste in password copied from .txt file under “Password” in import form
Click OK
Then there’s something about going to Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions program (http://localhost:8080/ReaderExtensions). Don’t ask. I’m personally lost at this point.
In Extensions program they need to:
Select the Extensions credential
Click the check box next to
“Basic form fill-in”
“Import and export data”
“Submit outside of web browser”
“Database and web service connectivity”
“Digital Signatures”
“Commenting”
“Online Commenting"
Set “Draft Level” to “Final”
Click the check box next to “Full Save”
“Browse” to the SNAP Survey I created and saved on the server.
Click “Apply”
In new window that appears:
Click “Download”
Save back to the server

If you're on the machine that's running LC the administrator console is http://localhost:8080/adminui
If you're not able to get to localhost:8080/ReaderExtensions then I suspect the LiveCycle server is not on your machine. If that's the case you'll have to find out the name of the server running LiveCycle and connect using that name instead of localhost.

Is LiveCycle only a part of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro EXTENDED, or does it come with the pro version too?

Sorry, I know this is dated but my company doesnt offer Acrobat X (yet. It is currently pending approval from IT). Anyway, I am wondering if the Livecycle designer program comes with the Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional version or just the Extended which I cannot get? This is very important as I will be using it to create a form (literally just one form lol).
Thanks

Designer ES is distributed with both Acrobat 9 Pro and Acrobat 9 Pro Extended for Windows.

Adobe Livecycle Submit Problems

I am using Adobe Livecycle ES. Putting a button on a page to submit the form.   However although it appears to save the settings it sends the form to a different address and in a different format. I can even start a blank form set it to email address NEW and submit as XML and when submitting it sends to email address OLD and as a PDF.
Where is it picking these settings up from ? ? ?

Hi All-
I have an extremely frustrating problem. I have designed a form in LiveCycle ES 8.2.1 for users to fill out and submit via xml. I would like to use Acrobat Pro 9.1.0 to track and collect responses from this form. When I test the original form, the submit button works perfectly and it opens my email client (Groupwise) attaches the xml and populates the To, Subject, and Body fields perfectly.
The problem comes when I try to use Acrobat to distribute and track the forms. It creates a filed called 'form_distributed' that adds a bunch of code that completely screws up my form submission. When the form_distributed is filled out, and the user clicks the submit button, Groupwise 6.5.7 is invoked, but I get a 'Check Names' dialog box that states
"Windows Messaging does not recognize "1. Double-click the attachment".
After I click cancel on that dialog box, the JavaScript Debugger shows:
Exception in line 63 of function top_level, script XFA:form1[0]:p1[0]:Button1[0]:click
RaiseError: One of the specified recipients is not resolvable.
Doc.submitForm:63:XFA:form1[0]:p1[0]:Button1[0]:click
===> One of the specified recipients is not resolvable.
The distributed version has this extra code inserted
< script contentType="application/x-javascript">//@@SUBMITURL "mailto:[email protected]?subject=Submitting Completed Form&body=Instructions to add this form to a responses file:\n1. Double-click the attachment.\n2. Acrobat will prompt you to select a responses file.&ui=false"
and further down....
// submit the form
if (bContinue) {
    var rawURL = "[email protected]?subject=Submitting Completed Form&body=Instructions to add this form to a responses file:\n1. Double-click the attachment.\n2. Acrobat will prompt you to select a responses file.&ui=false";
    var submitURL;
    if (app.viewerVersion < 9.0)
        submitURL = "mailto:" + rawURL;
    else
        submitURL = "mailto:" + escape(rawURL);
    currentDoc.submitForm({
        cURL: submitURL,
        cSubmitAs: "PDF"
    });
}
Are these lines of code always inserted when the form is distributed?
How can I distribute and track these responses?
Does this tie in to Acrobat.com, and is that required to gather responses in this method?
It seems to be reading
"[email protected]?subject=Submitting Completed Form&body=Instructions to add this form to a responses file:\n"
as the first email address and then getting hung up on the body and interpreting it as an incomplete email address.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a way to specify a number of vlookup results?

I'm trying to make a kind of loose pivot-table-like date record lookup. Probably best if I show something analogous to what I'm wanting:
Table1
Date
BookRead
1/1/13
Les Miserables
1/2/13
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
1/3/13
Les Miserables
1/4/13
The Phantom of the Opera
1/5/13
Don Quixote
1/6/13
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
1/7/13
War and Peace
1/8/13
Les Miserables
1/9/13
Les Miserables
1/10/13
The Phantom of the Opera
1/11/13
Les Miserables
1/12/13
Don Quixote
1/14/13
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
1/15/13
Les Miserables
In a separate table, I want to be able to pull the data this way, from most recent (Date1) to least (Date4):
Table2
BookRead
Date1
Date2
Date3
Date4
Don Quixote
1/12/13
1/5/13
Les Miserables
1/15/13
1/11/13
1/9/13
1/8/13
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
1/14/13
1/6/13
1/2/13
The Phantom of the Opera
1/10/13
1/4/13
War and Peace
1/7/13
The results in each row need to be the most recent four instances for that book(e.g., "Les Miserables" should only return the last four instances and disregard any more) and only the results for that book.
I've been trying to rack my brain on how to dynamically limit the range of rows for a VLOOKUP: that is, in each row of Table2:
- Date1: VLOOKUP for last instance as usual (which will return the bottom-most result)
- Date2: VLOOKUP for last instance prior to the row found in Date1
- Date3: VLOOKUP for last instance prior to the row found in Date2
- Date4: VLOOKUP for last instance prior to the row found in Date3
I've already tried category tables; it doesn't come close to what I want. Heck, VLOOKUP may not even be the way to go.
I'm concerned this will create an ENORMOUS amount of calculations, as the lookup table (Table2) I need to add this feature to currently has over 2700 rows, and the source table (Table1) it will compute from has over 1400. (That's right, I will be testing a TON of items in the first table that will have no instance at all in the second--that is, I want to test for way more "books" than are even used in the record. I know this seems backwards, but humor me.)
Is this doable, or am I delusional?

Hello
Here's something you may try. Not sure at all, though, whether this works acceptably fast for thousands of entries.
Table 2 will retieve unique book titles from Table 1 by using row indices in Table 1 :: E. If you're using independent table with unique book titles to retrieve data from Table 1, Table 1 :: E is not necessary and you can simply replace the formulae in Table 2 :: A with the unique book titles.
Table 1 works as follows.
1) In column C, count the occurence of each book title in column B after the current date in column A.
2) In column D, build string TITLE[k], where TITLE = title in column A, k = number of occurence in column C.
3) In column E, retrive the row indices where k = 1 in column C (i.e., row indices of most recently read books).
Table 2 works as follows.
1) In column A, retrieve the (unique) book titles in rows whose indices are listed in Table 1 :: E.
2) In column B, retiieve date in Table 1 :: A for TITLE[1] in Table 1 :: D, where TITLE = title in column A.
3) In column C, retiieve date in Table 1 :: A for TITLE[2] in Table 1 :: D, where TITLE = title in column A.
4) In column D, retiieve date in Table 1 :: A for TITLE[3] in Table 1 :: D, where TITLE = title in column A.
5) In column E, retiieve date in Table 1 :: A for TITLE[4] in Table 1 :: D, where TITLE = title in column A.

How do I write a specific IF statement in Adobe LiveCycle's FormCalc?

I am trying to use an IF / ELSEIF formula in FormCalc to autopopulate a text field in a table, but I keep getting a syntax error. Could someone please help?
My table has 2 rows and 2 columns. I named each cell (using Binding) in Column 1 as Data1 and Data2 respectively. Both cells in Column 1 contain a dropdown menu of numbers 1, 2, and 3. I want to create a FormCalc IF expression in Column 2 so that when the user selects a "1" in the Data1 cell, the cell adjacent to it in Column 2 autopopulates to "Yes". Then if they select a "2", the adjacent cell becomes "No", and if they select a "3", the adjacent cell is "Unknown". Then, I want to do the same thing for the Data2 cell and its adjacent cell in Column 2.
Here is the expression that I've tried using for the first row (it doesn't work). (The second row in Column 2 [next to Data2] has the same formula, except Data1 is replaced with Data2.)
if (Data1 = 1) then
"Yes"
elseif (Data1 = 2) then
"No"
elseif (Data1 = 3) then
"Unknown"
endif
Can anyone spot where my syntax error is and how to fix it? I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!

Well thank you! This actually pointed me in the right direction, however the adjacent cell is still not autopopulating depending on the number that is selected in Data1.
I renamed the cells (in binding) for simplicity:
Data1
qqq1
Data2
qqq2
I used this code (based on your code, just with minor tweaking):
if (Data1.rawValue == 1) then
qqq1.rawValue == "Yes";
elseif (Data1.rawValue == 2) then
qqq1.rawValue == "No" ;
elseif (Data1.rawValue == 3) then
qqq1.rawValue == "Unknown";
endif
Given the table above, with this code I do not receive an error like I did before with my erroneous code. This part is good! However, qqq1 still is not autopopulating to "Yes", "No", or "Unknown" when I select the different options in the dropdown of Data1. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong! I put the code into the Data1 cell, under the "exit" option and in the FormCalc language. Do the cells need to be formatted a certain way? Data1 and Data2 are both dropdown cells, and I have qqq1 and qqq2 as Text Fields with a Calculated-Read Only value.
Is there something else that needs to be done? I am a beginner at LiveCycle and the FormCalc language. So any step-by-step help you can provide to the newbie will be extremely appreciated! Thanks! :-)

Form Designed in LiveCycle will not work for End User

Please Help!
I am a newbie to Adobe LiveCycle but recognized the utility in the program, so decided to give it a while to try and streamline some of my employer's forms. After spending too much time learning how to design a form (much to the dislike of my boss), I am finally going to have to ask for some help. So here's the deal:
I've designed a dynamic pdf in LiveCycle with two master pages and two repeating flowed subforms. The first repeating subform is basically an expanding table intended to be used as a photographer's log where they can log each photo taken with the camera. The expanding table has some code with a button at the top for the end user to enter the number of photos on the photo roll, click submit, and table expands to however many instances of rows are needed for each photo that was taken. The second subform is basically an image field and text fields used as photo captions/photo compilation pages. When the end user clicks submit on the first subform to expand the table, I also have javascript in that click event to also create same amouint of instances of the second subform (the photo compilation page(s)). Each text field for the photo caption on the second subform is populated by the data entered into the photo log table cells. I was able to find a script to correctly populate those fields for each instance of the table. Wish I had the form here, but it's at work at the moment.
My problem is this: I've scratched and clawed to get all of the forms expanding correctly and the scripts populating each instance of the fields correctly and everything works great in LiveCycle preview. I then saved the form as PDF for use by my field crew personnel (whom all use, at the very least, Adobe Pro 9, but most Pro X). I sent the new form to them and they move it to their desktop, open it with Adobe Pro, and populate all of the fields and everything works swimmingly. However, once they save it, it gets all jumbled and they can't even print it. We even thought we found a workaround by entering all data and printing to PDF, but even that has turned out to not work. I checked to make sure that I designed and saved the form in LiveCycle for use with the Adobe Pro versions, but still not working for my end users.
Anyone have any thoughts on my long explanation?? Please HELLLLPPPP!

The error(s) occur when trying to save the document. I want each user to tell the first page how many rows they will need in the photo log table, so they would enter however many photos were taken in the box: "Number of Photos on Roll:" ---> Then click the "Submit" cmd button. That should expand the table. Once it expands, it should also add the same amount of instances of the photo compilation page (2nd Page) as there are rows in 1st page table. Then the user will populate each cell of the table on page 1 with data. The data entered into the page 1 table cells will populate the text fields (photo caption) in Page 2 once the user clicks on the "Populate Captions!" cmd button in the lower left corner of the table on Page 1.
The problem is in the distributing of the form to the user so they can save the form after populating the data. I did a test run this morning and for some reason it did do the "print to PDF" correctly for 5 photos on the roll (though this has not been happening every time and especially for a large number of pages, ie. 80 photos). However, after entering the data for 5 rows on page 1 and then populating the 5 photo compilation pages, I saved a copy as "Save As PDF" and closed the document. Then re-opened the copy in Acrobat Pro X. The new copy:
-had 5 additional rows added to Page 1
-Duplicates of some of the fields
-Only retained the 1st instance of the Second Page (Photo w/ Caption) and not all fields were populated
Again, this all works fine in the LiveCycle Preview but not anywhere else. I do not have this set up to be linked to an external data source (YET) but there is javascript in the cmd buttons. I also do not want to distribute this form to end users and then collect the data back from them. I want them to be able to save a copy of my LiveCycle designed form, open in Adobe Pro, populate the data and save as many copies as needed for form production.

Cannot login to JBoss Livecycle Installation

I cannot figure out how to login through workbench. I have configured it for port 8080 and can see the JBoss 4.0 page. The help files say: If you cannot log in successfully, configure the user accounts. To do this, log in to LiveCycle Administration Console as the administrator and click Settings > User Management > Users and Groups. For more information about creating user accounts, see User Management Help.
None of which tells me how to access the server. I have never seen such lousy documentation for a server product that sells for this price. I am evaluating this for my Team to use on a system that will support 20k users for the first year and right now, I'm about to call Rob Tarkoff and tell him that without specialized training, his product is unusable for many. I am well versed in Server technology, and neither the web console nor the jmx-console is accessable for configuring. And I am not a fan of either JBoss (especially 4.0) or high priced WebLogic. Why couldn't they have bundled with Glassfish?
So what next? I need something that works out of the box without $250/hr Deloitte consultants to get it working. Is there a blog or something that someone can point me to where I can get this thing working from?

Thanks,

Thanks for the quick answer, but this is exactly what I'm trying to do. I am using the workbench and do have it configured for localhost with port 8080 and it looks like this:
Your help is much appreciated, but I really need more than simple instructions. The JBoss server is running, but I get this:
If i had something that allowed me to configure the server, like a console, i could go even further. But there is no console. Do I have a bad installation? I don't know. But this is exactly the kind of crap you would expect from open source, little documentation and running on a very old edition of JBoss.
Do you have any other ideas? Or did your install work like a champ from the start? http://localhost:8080/adminui does not work...
Thanks again...

Get All group from LCES using Livecycle java API

Hello ,
Can anyone told me how i can retrieve all the groups that exist in my livecyle using JAVA API.
Some method who return all groups ??
Thanks!

First Thank you for your answer
I tried this part
//Set connection properties required to invoke LiveCycle ES
            Properties connectionProps = new Properties();
            connectionProps.setProperty(ServiceClientFactoryProperties.DSC_DEFAULT_EJB_ENDPOINT, "jnp://test:1099");
                                                                  connectionProps.setProperty(ServiceClientFactoryProperties.DSC_TRANSPORT_PROTOCOL,Service ClientFactoryProperties.DSC_EJB_PROTOCOL);
            connectionProps.setProperty(ServiceClientFactoryProperties.DSC_SERVER_TYPE, "JBoss");
            connectionProps.setProperty(ServiceClientFactoryProperties.DSC_CREDENTIAL_USERNAME, "administrator");
            connectionProps.setProperty(ServiceClientFactoryProperties.DSC_CREDENTIAL_PASSWORD, "password");
            ServiceClientFactory scf = ServiceClientFactory.createInstance(connectionProps);
            DirectoryManager directoryManager = new DirectoryManagerServiceClient(scf);
            PrincipalSearchFilter psf = new PrincipalSearchFilter();
    psf.setPrincipalType(Principal.PRINCIPALTYPE_GROUP); //Recommended - refines the search to a User or Group
    psf.setRetrieveOnlyActive(); // Recommended - returns only ative users/groups and not obsolete/deleted users/groups
    List<Principal> resultList = directoryManager.findPrincipals(psf);
    System.out.println("Done");
and when I check the result of my list I find incomprehensible informations.
So when I debug the code , my list contains little information.
NB : my LDAP contains hundreds of groups.
Any suggestion
Any code Source.

Unable to open Livecycle forms even with latest plug-ins

Hi guys,
I have a created a few dynamic forms designed using livecycle designer ES..In order for my users to open these forms, they need to have atleast Adobe acrobat / reader version 8.1 or higher to view these dynamic files. However, quite a few of my users are saying that they are still unable to open these forms directly from their browser although they have downloaded the latest Acrobat X version and the browser plug-ins in their computer. It happens to both windows and mac computers. But they are able to download these files and open it directly from their adobe reader though. It happens with all browsers for them...some of them have even called up mac support as well as adobe support and they were advised that it could be a problem with my forms that I find hard to believe since it opens in my computer and opens for a lot of other users. Its only a few users still having difficulties and I can't understand why!
Also, I recently uploaded a dynamic file in acrobat file sharing. Why am I getting the below message when I have the latest adobe installed? I am able to open other dynamic forms in my browsers..why does this happen? I wonder if other user's problem is similar to this...not sure...
To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from etc...etc...etc..
What can be the problem when the adobe version is already updated and also the plug-ins are updated too?? I have read a lot of links in adobe site itself which suggest various methods to test out the forms, browsers, plug-ins, etc..but this problem still happens to some users even after trying out these troubleshoots. Can someone explain if there are other limitations or solution for these users?

I don't have an answer. However, since your question is not about Acrobat forms, but Designer forms, you need to ask in the LiveCycle forum that deals with Desginer forms.
