Can i get help with buttons that move thru a recordset

≪ Previous: Event on buttons of messagebox alert in designer

Good morning everyone,

Again I find myself needing some expert advice from you guys on how to setup a button on my form that would allow me to cycle thru a recordSet that exists thru a data connection I created.

Right now the dataset is there, but I can not see pass the first record.

I would like to create a front and back button that would allow me to cycle thru that recordSet, any ideas on how the code for that would look like?

any help on this will be greatly appreciated yet again

Thanks

≪ Previous: how to get dropdown selected value

Hi there,

I've tested so many times floating fields in many different forms. Some old forms I created are working, but lately new forms are just not working at all.

Form Properties -> Defaults -> Choose version to run form in : Acrobat and Adobe Reader 9.1 or later.. (I did this)

When using floating fields in my non-testing-forms, they never work... I am using Calculate event to put the value inside the hidden floating field with the following code:

var resStream = Section1.frmSectionB.frmWorkStatement.frmResourceReq.resolveNode("frmResources["+ this.parent.parent.parent.index.toString() +"]").frmStream.ddlStream;

this.rawValue = resStream.getDisplayItem(resStream.selectedIndex);

Using those two lines are working perfectly, I'm getting the value wanted in the hidden floating field, but the Label is not displaying the value!!!

If I insert a line of code in the Calculate event which transfer the value in the label like the following :

lblStream.rawValue = resStream.getDisplayItem(resStream.selectedIndex);

It displays the value as I want... But I am tired of wondering why my floating fields never work in my forms..

By the way I've managed to make floating fields work in a blank form just for testing, but when it comes to real forms it just doesn't want to cut it...

If anyone would have any idea why it's behaving like this, I would appreciate any tries!!

Thanks for reading, waiting for your thoughts!!

I am having some issues with being able to hide "click to sign" text in the signature field after the form has been signed. Currently, once the form is signed, the "click to sign" text does not hide. Rather, overlapping text occurs from the text field and the signature field. I am currently using Adobe LiveCycle ES 4.

Hello Everybody,

I started to work with adobe form for two weeks now.

And i am wondering something since two days where is the documentation ?

On adobe forums, we find a quick FAQ.

On SCN there is some documentation.

But where is the official or/and most complete documentation ?

Is the full documentation given when you buy the adobe product or is there a full on line documentation ?

Best Regards

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.

Best way to insert Degree symbol?

≫ Next: How to delete one row from more than one table in different pages...

≪ Previous: Can't Edit Text- LiveCycle Designer 8.0

Hello,

I have an inspection form set up for restaurant/health inspectors. Often times during an inspection they need to enter temperatures of food and like to use the degree symbol. They're running this form on a convertible tablet pc, so a normal keyboard is not available to them in tablet mode and when in laptop mode using the combination of ALT+0176 that's still a PITA because the keyboard doesn't have full number pad and the people using this form aren't the most computer literate people out there to be able to activate the Function keys to endable number pad keys and then enter an ASCII code many times during an inspection.

I was looking for suggestion on how to inforporate something into the form to assist in entering the degree symbol in any text field they are in at the position of the cursor.

The idea's I've though of are:

1.) A command button that inserts the symbol, but I'm afraid clicking the button would lose focus of the destination field and there'd need to be a lot of scripting to remember which field was the last one they were in to insert it in the correct one.

2.) A Button or On Load event which somehow inserts the degree symbol into the Windows clipboard, but during the course of an inspection they might copy and paste something else thus clearing it out.

3.) Some kind of auto-replace of text. Not sure if that's possible in an adobe form. E.g. if they type 'deg.' have the form auto replace it to '°'.

4.) A special key press. Not sure if Adobe can listen to a special key sequence not used by Adobe and Windows, say CTRL + D which when pressed inserts a degree symbol in the current location.

5.) Any way to place a special icon on Adobe's tool bar to insert the degree symbol at the currently location?

Those were some ideas I'm thinking of. Many are probably dead ends. If you had this problem, how would you approach it?

Thanks!

≪ Previous: How to delete one row from more than one table in different pages...

Hi,

Using Livecycle Designer ES, I've built a form for a client. And they have insisted on using a specific, non native font (DIN, in all it's flavours). This is a TrueType font.

In the form properties, I have selected "Embed fonts". There are also other fonts like Wing Dings etc...

When the form is opened in Reader (9.3), and you look at the Document Properties, under the Fonts tab, all the fonts, except the DIN fonts have "(Embedded)" next to them. The DIN fonts All have 2 extra entries, namely "Actual Font: Adobe Sans MM" and "Actual Font Type: Type 1".

Does anyone have an idea as to why these specific fonts cannot be embedded?

Internal error when using doc.importXFAData

≫ Next: How to install trail version of adobe Lifecycle suite

≪ Previous: Is it possibile to add dynamic piechart on PDF form

I have a XFA form created in LiveCycle (not by me)... and I've created a custom menu item that exports a .xml file upon clicking.

I've created a second menu item that imports a specific xml file into the report, however it is returning "An Internal error occurred" BUT it also properly imports the data too.

There are 3 folder level trusted javascript functions being used in order to do this. I have 2 specific questions:

1) Can you spot why I'm getting an error using the code below (import.js)?

2) Is it possible for Acrobat to "wait for" an xml file to be created on the desktop before importing automatically. Ideally I'd only create one menu item which performs two functions: exports the xml file and then WAITS until a specifically-named .xml file appears in a given directory, before automatically importing it into the form.

Thanks a lot.

CODE:

1) menu.js (creates two menu items, Export and Import).

app.addMenuItem({cName:"Export", cParent:"Edit", cExec:"event.target.myTrustFunct(event.target)"})

app.addMenuItem({cName:"Import", cParent:"Edit", cExec:"event.target.myTrustFunctTwo(event.target)"})

2) export.js (working without errors)

var myTrustFunct = app.trustedFunction(function(doc)

{

app.beginPriv();

doc.exportXFAData({

cPath:"/c/Users/ME/Desktop/savedForm.xml",

bCopy: true,

bPromptToOverwrite: false,

bXDP:false

});

app.endPriv();

return;

});

3) import.js (causing error despite successful import)

var myTrustFunctTwo = app.trustedFunction(function(doc)

{

app.beginPriv();

doc.importXFAData({

cPath:"/c/Users/ME/Desktop/Filled_In.xml"

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?

≪ Previous: Automatic font size reduction in a PDF form

Hello,

my JavaScript console "crashes" in preview-mode in lifecycle designer. It just appears for a "millisecond"´, well I see it flicker at last.

It doesn't matter if there is a syntax error or if I try to start the console by clicking a button ( Event click => console.show(); )

The console just flickers.

If I save the pdf file everything works fine. Console shows up on errors or if it told to do so (e.g. my button is clicked).

I cannot afford to save the pdf-file every time for some reasons (livecycle designer is used in sap gui, I have to run the whole process to get the PDF ...)

By the way, the same problem is present in Livecycle Designer if I use it "native", not called from within the sap.

I have already tried to close the acrobat reader tasks. There are two of them, when adobe reader 10 starts (native or in livecycle-preview).

But by closing one of the tasks, the second one closes, too. Therefore there is no help this way.

I use Adobe Lifecycle Designer ES 8.0 (8.01.2008.1.380548) and Acrobat Reader X (10.0.1)

The PDFs output in LS is set to Acrobat 8 (dynamic)

In Acrobat Reader javascript console/debugger is set as active, as well as to show errors etc.

It might be a problem realted to sap gui.

I just ran the pdf-preview in sap gui. And Console didn't show up again.

I have saved the same document from the sap print-preview on my local hd drive. Then started it with adobe reader and everything worked just fine.

Please do not blame sap only. As I have told before: the same problem occurs if I use livecycle designer "native", not within sap gui
