Can't Edit Text- LiveCycle Designer 8.0

I've been using Livecycle for years and I've always opened up certain documents, edited the text, field boxes, etc.

All of a sudden, I go to edit a PDF in Livecycle (same pdf that I've always edited) and everything is locked. I can't delete, add text, move fields, nothing... It seems that the whole page got locked somehow. Any ideas on how to get it back to normal so that I can make edits? I'm using Windows Vista, Adobe Acrobat 8- Livecycle Designer 8.0.

Thank you!

conditional drop down list

$

Hi Experts,

                  I have a requirement of having conditional drop down list - for e.g. there are two drop downs adjacent to each other

 

country

 

city - based on the selection for country appropriate state for that country selected from the drop down

 

for e.g. we have two country China and India

 

Country  - India China

 

City - (Mumbai , Delhi (belongs to country India)) and (Beijing, Shanghai (belongs to country China))

 

So requirement is when user selects India as country from drop down for country he should only get Mumbai and Delhi as drop down value for city and not Shanghai & Beijing

 

Similarly when he chooses China he should get city drop down values as Shanghai & Beijing and not (Mumbai and Delhi).

 

Please provide a sample scripting code. Country is bound by dynamic scripting.

Is there a way of including instructional default text in a text field that disappears when the user clicks in to the field to type their information, and if so, can it reappear if the person doesn't add data and clicks out of the text field?

How to convert Dyanamic XFA form to standard PDF in JAVA

$

Hi.

 

I am aware that similar questions have been asked in the past but I am not able to find any definite answer. And, I may have a slightly different (easier) requirement, so I thought of raising this question again.

 

I have a Dynamic XFA form created using LiveCycle Designer.  I have used XSD binding and at runtime, in Java,  using some third party utility I fill in the XML data adhering to the XSD in this Dynamic form. So the result is a filled PDF document (pretty much static) which looks like any other read only PDF document. But, as at the core it is a XFA document, I am not able to concatenate it with other such resulting PDF document. No third party library is able to handle it and the reason may be the fact that they are internally dealing with XML rather than a standard PDF.

 

So to be specific : I need to find some Java based solution as I do not have a way to do it using LiveCycle or any Desktop based tool. And I need to concatenate two Dynamic XFA documents which have been filled out and saved as x.pdf and y.pdf on a disk. They look and feel like any standard PDF documents.

 

What are my options? Does Adobe have any Java APIs for this purpose? I am looking for some cost effective solution though as we can not afford to buy a full enterprise suite for this purpose.

 

Any help or pointers are much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

How to disable 'Autocomplete' effect in a form

Hello all,

 

I have done a form with many fields.

If I fill all fields the process is correct but if I try to modify a determined field I get an effect similar to 'Autocomplete' function and I see all previous values recorded in that field.

 

I would like to avoid this effect. Is there any way in order to disable it?

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

Best regards,

Roberto

I hope I can explain this clearly. I have a repeating subform form on page 1 that ask for child's name. Later in the form I need to ask other questions regarding the children. What I would like to happen is for each child listed on page 1, it would populate the Child's name in the child's information subform on page 3.

 

Thanks you for any assistance.

Flowing text onto a second page

I have a form where I am pasting text in a subform (occupies an entire page) a lot of text. Everything works fine when the pasted text is more then one page and I get scrolling bar at the right and a black and white + at the bottom right. The problem is I want the text to be flowed on to the next page. This is needed because the form may need to be printed and faxed sometimes.

I have tried several tricks but so far I have not stumbled upon a good solution!

Any help would be appreciated!

UTF8 error in browser

I have designed a PDF form designed in Livecycle designer. The form has a submit button which invokes a servlet. The servlet receives the request and send a response in "text/html UTF-8". If have no browser or IE open when submitting the form, I receive a response that the form has been either successfully submitted or not. However, if I have Firefox open when Submitting, I get an Adobe Reader dialog box that says "An error occurred during the submit process. Cannot process content of type text/html utf-8".
When I look in the database, the form is successfully submitted. How do I make the adobe pop up to disappear and print the confirmation.

Duplicate Lines after Export to .xml and import into Excel

$

Hi,

I created a read-out form for a radiologic study. This form is filled out 150 times by three different radiologists. I collect the data which is emailed back to my as a .pdf in a Dataset.pdf. When I export the Data to an ".xml-File" and afterwards import it into Excel, it gives me severeal duplicate lines. Sometimes the data is distributed over 2-3 different rows, sometimes the exact same data is duplicated in 2-4 consecutive rows, etc. I don't see a pattern. If I export it as a .csv File, there is no problem.

Has anybody had the same problems? What do I have to do, that at the end in Excel I have one row for each dataset emailed back to me?

If necessary I can upload the form and publish the Link.

It's not really too important as I can still extract Data using the .csv export. I would just like to understand, why it doesn't work with .xml Export.

Thank you for your help,

Olivio

Multi-line entries in drop-down

Hi - I have a drop-down with a very long list, displaying in a fixed field area. Some of the entries are very long, and since the drop-down only allows one line, the rest of the entry is obscured. Is there any way to get the drop-down to display multi-line? Or at least to commit the selection to the fixed filed area as multi-line?

PDF Size will increase in size dramatically with every submit.

I have a PDF Form desinged using Adobe LiveCycle Desinger ES2.

 

It has a submit button which will submit the form to the server (IIS and ASP.NET) using this javascript command:

 

 

event.target.submitForm( {cURL: "http://server/ASPNETWebPage.ASPX", aPackets:["datasets","pdf"], cSubmitAs: "XDP"});

 

On the server, from ASP.NET, I use the following code to extract the submitted "chunk" element and convert it from Base64 to Binary PDF File:

 

            fs = New System.IO.FileStream(mFormFileNameFolder, IO.FileMode.Create)
            bw = New System.IO.BinaryWriter(fs)
            ' Get chunk element form the submitted XML
            Dim srChunk As New StringReader(mXML.GetElementsByTagName("chunk")(0).InnerXml)
            Do While True
                Dim theChunkLine As String
                theChunkLine = srChunk.ReadLine
                If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(theChunkLine) Then
                    theReadBytes = theChunkLine.Length
                Else
                    theReadBytes = 0
                    Exit Do
                End If
                Dim theBase64Length = (theReadBytes * 3 / 4)
                Dim buffer() As Byte
                buffer = Convert.FromBase64String(theChunkLine)
                bw.Write(buffer)
            Loop
            bw.Close()
            bw = Nothing
            fs.Close()
            fs = Nothing

 

 

The above code is working fine, and PDF is generted successfully.

 

I have one problem.

 

With every submit, the generated PDF Size will increase dramatically. I reported this to Adobe Support, and they cofirmed that this is by desing and that with every submit, the previous PDF State is saved, and the new state is added. That is why I get huge PDF File.

 

I was told that the only way to solve this problem is to submit the form as PDF ONLY, and after I save the PDF File on a file system, I then must use Adobe Service/Process "exportData" to extract the XML Data from the PDF.

 

I think this is really big change to me. I was hoping that there is a way to indentify the latest PDF State from the chunk element.

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have a very large dynamic PDF and i have already built the table of contents but it only contains the title of each section (no page numbers). each item clicked focuses view on the corresponding Header of that section even if the page number changes. BUT now i need to add page numbers onto the table of contents page that will dynamically change as the document grows.  I'm new to LiveCycle.  Can anyone help? (I'm running LiveCycle ES4)
