I would like to control nested subform loop.
I create a dynamic form using nested subform.
When i preview in pdf the form works, but only first record values of nested subform are shown.
How could I control the exact loop?
Is there any XML language like for i =1,n .... next i in BASIC ?
It has to work like below;
<subform Level1> ...
<subform Level2> ...
</subform Level2>
</subform Level1>
But, it works
<subform Level1> ...
<subform Level2> ...
</subform Level1, Level2>
Thanks
Sam.

PDF Form increases in size 167.23KB - 5MB
I created interactive dynamic form using Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 9.0. I have this form set up to submit a PDF via email. The initial size of the form is 167.23KB but I have found on several occasions that once the end-users begins using the form the file size increase to 3-5MB. There are many versions of Acrobat being used by the end-users to view and submit the forms. Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Can't select or edit text fields in LiveCycle Designer
Greetings!
I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I need to edit the header text in this PDF, so I tried to do that in Acrobat PRO, which said: "This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form." I got a trial version of LiveCycle to see if I could edit it. But when I open the PDF in LiveCycle, I can only edit the input fields. All of the labels, all the text, headers is uneditable. I can't select it, I don't see it in the PDF Hierarchy either. Half of the Edit Menu is grayed out. Can't copy or anything else. Please help me figure out why this happens. If you need the original PDF, let me know, I can send it to you. Thank you.

Text Field Align Bottom
I'm wishing to change the alignment of text fields from top alignment to bottom alignment. When right click the field and choose styles > create a new style > Value Text Formatting, I can change the vertical alignment. But I can't do this for many fields at once. How I can change or apply a style to many fields? The Style Editor is greyed out when I select several fields but yet when I'm in the style editor with one field selected I see a button on the bottom that says "apply to selection."
Thank you

XML database not loading
I have a xml database that has some information which is loaded into a drop down menu on my form. While I am in Live Cycle Designer and use the pdf preview, the dropdowns populate correctly and show what is in the database but when I open up the form in Adobe Reader, the dropdown show null. How can I remedy this problem?

Dynamically Change Company Logo
I want to create one form used by both of our companies. When the user selects their location, the cooresponding company logo displays at the top of the form including all new pages generated. I was able to get this working with JavaScript but ran into a problem when merging the data to a spreadsheet using Acrobat. The image data exports and creates a huge column of data in my spreadsheet. How do I prevent the image data from exporting to the spreadsheet? This problem does not happen with Acrobat version 10.0.0 but does occur with versions 10.1.11 and 10.1.12.

Text Form Field Automatic Rename / Numbering? Need help!
B"H
In Acrobat XI, using a pre-existing PDF made from tables within MS-Word, with hundreds of pages – and 50 or so answers per page (school workbook style Q&A lines and tables with just the bottom line visible for the answer).
I tried first with Live Cycle and it created some of the form fields - leaving me most to create myself.
As make one page and copy the fields from page to page, the field names are the same - therefore the data in the response is duplicated. Help tells me I need to rename each form field - how can I rename all the forms at once, or must I (please say no) rename them one at a time? There are thousands of unique answers and I need a way to automate the renaming - or a better solution. How do I automatically rename 1000’s of text fields?
Someone mentioned something about creating a Java script - about which I know nothing - but is that the solution? If yes – can someone tell me how to apply the script?
Also - if I get one PDF numbered, can I copy / paste form fields from one PDF to another? Assuming they are similar in size and shape etc. just to benefit from not having to number them all again.
OR:
As these files were first opened in LiveCyle from a PDF I made from a MS - Word doc - with thousands of tables as - some were recognized in LiveCyle - and numbered OK -
Must I go back to Word - and redo the "answer" boxes in a way that Adobe will recognize it as a form?
If yes, what is the defining criteria of a form in a blank PDF?
Or - can LiveCyle make a PDF form from within a Word Doc?
Thank you!

Dynamic Form is painfully slow to open and edit
I'm hoping someone could take a few minutes and see if they could help me figure out why this form is so slow to 1) open, 2) add a new line, and 3) select a client in the dropdown box in the "CLIENT" column. I've tried removing the page numbering in the layout:ready event and it doesn't help the performance at all. I do have a lot of calculations and a lot of resolveNodes, but I don't think I have any other way of performing these calculations without them. If anyone could point me in the right direction.
The form is here:
https://acrobat.com/#d=pBkuyHMzab36bS4N0U9VEg
...and if you open it in Acrobat or Reader first, you'll see what I mean. It's not as slow in a preview in Livecycle because all of the entered data is gone.
Thank you for any help.

Auto-populate form fields based on end user input?
I'm currently attempting to create a new form that has a combo box "Locations" with various options. What I'm looking to do is have another text field auto populate other fields related to that location (such as address, contact information) to save on time and reduce opportunity for end user errors in input.
What are my options for accomplishing such a task? Some form of binding fields with a MS database possibly?
Thanks in advance for any advice and assistance on this matter!

Printing hidden / visible fields
Morning
I have an interactive form that hides and shows particular subforms when printing. It's currently set so the subform on page 1 will hide when printing. The content on page 2 is separated by a page break as it must always sit a page away from the content on page 1. The problem I'm having is when the content on page 1 hides the content on page 2 won't shift to the first so I'm left with a blank page. Is there a command so I can set the content on page 2 to move to the top of the document wheN printing?
Hope this makes sense
Advice would be appreciated
Many thanks

Is there a way to contain an expanding table so that it does NOT overflow?
I have a table within a positioned subform and if there are more rows in the table than space in the subform, the data overflows past the boundaries of the subform. I want the data to be cut off at the boundary, such as how you can select for a field to "Limit Length to Visible Area" so that the text in the field doesn't go past the field size. I don't even want it to flow to another page, just cut it off so that it doesn't print over other fields that are below the subform on the page. Anyone know how to do this?

Automatic font size reduction in a PDF form
Hello everybody!
I'm working with SAP.
On my current project I would like to implement a customer form via Adobe Lifecycle Designer.
I'm going to ask a developer to implement the following logic:
There is a fixed rectangular area in the form. This area should represent a text.
In case of long text I would like to reduce the font size to fit the text into the area. It should look like that
Text alignment within the area is Horizontal Centered, Vertical Centered
Text wrap is on
Font is Arial, initial size is 10
Is it possible to implement?

DPF portfolio with fillable dependable pdf forms.
Hi all!
I have pdf portfolio with some fillable pdf forms in it. This portfolio is generated via LiveCycle services.
All of these pdf forms have equivalent fields. For example: portfolio consists of pdfX, pdfY, pfdZ. And every pdf have fillable field "userName".
And it is not convenient for a user to put the same data to every pdf form.
User wants to put data only to the first one pdf. So, other pdf forms must be filled with data automatically.
And, there is one restriction: user can't send portfilio back to the server, so all automated changes must be done on the client side.
So, is there any way to solve such task?
If there is, please describe some algorithm\strategy of how this can be done.
Thank you.
PS: I'm not sure where to ask this question, so if this branch is wrong - i'm sorry.

How do i dynamically update table of content page numbers as user inputs data and PDF gets larger?
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)

LiveCycle Designer "Menu Bar" missing
How can one get the menu bar back (File, Edit, View ... Window, Help) in LiveCycle Designer ES (8.2)?
It's installed as part of Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows Vista.
In the process doing screen prints and dragging images between documents (e.g., paint and word) I mistakenly dragged the menu bar off the LiveCycle Designer work area. On another monitor I realized it wasn't acting like what I was going to paste and (not realizing what it was) took it to the lower left of the monitor (out of the LCD screen) and dropped it. Going back to LCD I discovered that it must have been the menu bar and ... not to be found.
I've uninstalled Acrobat 9 Pro, rebooted, removed the Users/<username>/App Data/Roaming/Adobe/Designer folder, and then did a complete install (not 'Typical', not 'Custom') of Acrobat 9 Pro and STILL NO MENU BAR.
The menu bar acts almost like a toolbar or palette but is apparently treated differently ... position, etc stored in the registry?
I also saw that F9 supposedly restores the menubar in Acrobat 8 on Windows (but no effect in LCD); also tried the Acrobat 8/Mac solution (Ctrl-Shift-M) with no effect.
Also, doing a restore is not an option (thanks to our system folks).
Any help appreciated.

the Submit from the blank button and have it set to submit PDF not XML.

Calculating times past midnight
Hello All,
I am working on a timesheet for employees. It has 4 time fields (amIN, amOUT, pmIN, pmOUT) to allow for a lunch break. I have a script that calculates well for normal business hours. BUT, if the work shift goes past midnight, then it does not calculate correctly.
Here is what I have in FormCalc in a calculate event:
var fullTime = 0
var breakTime = 0
if (pmIN ne null and pmOUT ne null) then
if (Time2Num(amIN.formattedValue, "HH:MM") < Time2Num(pmOUT.formattedValue, "HH:MM")) then
fullTime = Abs(Time2Num(amIN.formattedValue, "HH:MM") - Time2Num(pmOUT.formattedValue, "HH:MM")) /(60 * 60 * 1000)
else
fullTime = 24 - Abs(Time2Num(pmOUT.formattedValue, "HH:MM") - Time2Num(amIN.formattedValue, "HH:MM")) /(60 * 60 * 1000)
endif
breakTime = Abs(Time2Num(pmIN.formattedValue, "HH:MM") - Time2Num(amOUT.formattedValue, "HH:MM")) /(60 * 60 * 1000)
$ = fullTime - breakTime
else
fullTime = Abs(Time2Num(amIN.formattedValue, "HH:MM") - Time2Num(amOUT.formattedValue, "HH:MM")) /(60 * 60 * 1000)
$ = fullTime
if (amIN == null) then $=null else $=(fullTime - breakTime)
endif
endif
