Is there a way to set up meta data in LiveCycle that will map over to Adobe? In the adobe properties there is a "Keyword" section. Where can get enter the Keywords in LiveCycle to that they will map over to that keyword section in Adobe?
Thanks!

Is it possible to have conditional required fields. As in if a certain box is selected, certain fields will become required. Take a look at this example if this needs clarification. In this example, the left 3 text boxes are required. If I check the middle checkbox, can I make it so the 3 text fields in the middle now become required as well. Furthermore, if I check off the 3rd check box (rightmost one), can I make all of the text boxes as required fields. Thanks!
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?
Hello everyone,
A part of my job is to create .pdf forms that mirror the current reports and documents that are used in the organization. The idea is to have people transition to the new .pdf forms as seamlessly as possible. The new forms are more user-friendly, can have their data exported as xml, and allow for dynamic content (i.e. subforms with a number of visibility configurations.)
All of this is going well, and people seem to really like the new forms. The users fill out the form, click a button (which sets all fields to read-only) and a copy of the .pdf form is email to both the managerial members who require the forms for their business purposes,as well as to a collection center where the data is to be extracted into a database. The problem is that the .pdf files must be readable on the managerial staff's Blackberries. This is imperative. I've done a number of tests and have found that their Blackberrys can only view static pdf forms, not dynamic xml forms.
My first thought was to purchase software for their Blackberries that would allow them to read the dynamic forms, but that proposal was denied.
Business needs cannot be properly met by a series of static forms, but the dynamic forms cannot be viewed on Blackberries (which is a must). I am hoping that someone out there can point me and the right direction. So now to the real question:
Is there someway to convert a dynamic xml form into a static pdf form... dynamically? Ideally, how this would work would be to have a dynamic xml form that users fill out then send via the 'email' button. Currently, a copy of the form is being emailed... I would like to programmatically convert the dynamic form into a static form, and then send the converted form to the managerial team.
If that is not possible, is it possible to programmatically save a copy of the dynamic xml form AS the static pdf form. The users would then be responsible for emailing the newly saved copy themselves. This isn't an ideal solution, but I think it is more likely to be possible.
Thanks for all of your help, in advance. I'm more than open to solutions that I had not considered.
Have a good one,
- Scott
I am new to LiveCycle. I opened a new blank form and inserted a standard text field. On the object tab allow page breaks within content is greyed out. How do you get this to work?
Does anyone know why when I make an object, say, 29 cm in LiveCycle, when it's printed it comes out larger (29.5 cm)?
I'm saving the file as a static pdf and printing it in "actual size" in Acrobat.
Has LiveCycle created yet another way to screw with me and make my life a cold, bleak wasteland (suck it LiveCycle!!!) . . . or is this issue merely a printer one?
Can one have LiveCycle create a form with the precise measurements claimed by, the seemingly dishonest, layout tab?
Before I turn to nihilist philosophy and gin, can anyone guess what's going on?
Thank you . . .
Hello
I am developing a interactive form with Java script and am a beginner for this java script(am professional in other programing language).
When i saw google, i found like below,
1) var onodeVALS = xfa.resolveNodes("xfa.record.Classification.ClassNode[+i+].ClassLeaf[*].value");
Here pls. let me know
what is 'XFA'?
Wht is 'resolveNodes'?
Wht the programmer want to do?
what are '+' and [*] and '++'?
Some MORE,
if($.rawValue eq "value_A")
1) Here what is '$' dollar symbol?
2) some times, i saw.... as '$record'
Wht is '$record'?
THANK YOU
Hi Experts -
I have a JavaScript that worked well in Acrobat. Its function is to tick a checkbox when text is entered into a text field. I'm trying to apply the JavaScript to do the same thing to another set of boxes (text field and checkbox) in LifeCycle.
In LifeCycle - I have entered the JavaScript in Script editor, and have 'Show: Validate*'. Unfortunately it is not working - any help greatly appreciated. JavaScript from forum expert kindly supplied is:
this.getField("checkbox 1").checkThisBox(0, (event.value!=""));
Kind regards
Kevin
Hi,
I have a project where I need to have lots of signature fields on a single form. I don't want to use a signatureField because this will increase the file size every time a signatureField is signed. Also client does not want digital signatures.
I set up three user variables (for both usernames and passwords), using Form/Properties/Variables.
I then set up a dialogue box on the click event of a button, which requests the username and password. If these match the global variables, then the associated textField is populated with the user's credentials. I got this to work OK.
The problems stated when I gave the user the ability to change their password. This would be an important, as the form would not need to come back to me to hardwire in the new password.
One of the global variables is "Pass1".The following script changed the value of the variable, but would not hold the change when the form was reopened:
Pass1.value = AHSC02.strnewP;
".value" shouldn't work, but it did???
So I tried different versions of ".rawValue", but with no sucess:
Pass1.rawValue = AHSC02.strnewP;
form1.Pass1.rawValue = AHSC02.strnewP;
form1.variables.Pass1.rawValue = AHSC02.strnewP;
Using ".rawValue" wouldn't change the password variable at all, even in the same session.
I would be very grateful if anyone had an idea as to how to change the global variable using Javascript, which will hold when the file is saved and reopened.
".value" works within the session, but doesn't hold the value on reopenning.
I am attaching a sample form, with three signing buttons/fields.
Username1 = Niall O'Donovan Password = nod
Username2 = Marianne Barry Password = mb
I have initially set up the "Niall O'Donovan" account with .rawValue and the "Marianne Barry" account with .value scripting.
I am wondering if this is considered a security issue by Adobe and therefore we are restricted from changing global variables using Javascript???
Thanks,
Niall
How can add page numbers to my 10 page document I just
created? Is there a way for me to add page numbers in the footer like you can in MicroSoft Word?
The problem is, I already have created my form & can't re-arrange it any. If I coul
d manually type the page number in that would be fine to...I just need it to be in the footer area..Can someone help?
I have created a dynamic form in LiveCycle ES Designer. It has a dynamic table and a dynamic text field. The table has a single row with 6 cells. Inside of each cell I have created sub forms and then placed various boxes (text, drop downs, etc). I have created an add and remove button to replicate the table if another one is needed.
In my table in the first cell I have a drop down field currently that goes from 1 to 75. When you click on the add row button and it replicates another row I would like for it to auto populate the field to indicate #2, #3, so on and so on as you add table rows. I realize that it can not be a drop down field and will most probably have to be a text or number field.
What I do not know however is the java that will tell it to generate the next sequencial number when I add a new row.
Can anyone help or point me in the right direction to find my answer?
Thanks,
Shane
Is it possible with a LiveCycle form that is not connected to a database, to automatically have a unique sequential form number populate a textfield when the form is opened? This would be the number that identifies that version of the form.
Need: I would like to have a button within a subform that allows you to copy all the data (many fields) and then paste it into an empty copy of the subform. Of course the info pasted would fill in all the fields etc.
Reason: We routinely need to move subform data from page 3 in the document to page 11 (example). Currently we insert a new subform and copy/paste each field from 3 to 11 and then delete 3. It would be great to press a copy button in 3 and insert a new subform and paste.into 11.
Is this possible?
I know Adobe Reader tells us that we cannot save information typed into a form, but I want to do that anyway. You guys are smart, so I am betting you know a clever way to circumvent this "no saving" obstacle. BTW, my end users are public school teachers, so they will only be using the free Adobe Reader versions to open and complete the forms I am making for them.
Thanks and every hopeful,
Jenny
Hello
What is the difference between Acrobat Pro and LiveCycle Designer 8.1ES?
Thank you
How to autofit text or change the size of text when filling a PDF form. I use Adobe Reader X
This ia a govt. form. I am entering large text into a text box and how do I fit this in the text box given.
I need to deduct time from two cells - ie cell one (called DateTimeField1) is 16:30 and cell two (DateTimeField2) is 18:00 the answer in cell 3 (NumericField1) should be 1:30
Time could go over night - so I need a script (formcalc) that will allow for this (ie start time 21:00 - finish time 07:00 = 10:00
can anyone help please?
I have done a fair amount of searching on the forums to try and solve this problem but have been unable to find an answer.
We have for years and years been using Adobe Acrobat 8 and associated LiveCycle suite. We have a few forms designed in LiveCycle that, once reader enabled, were able to be filled out and then "drag and drop"'d into regular PDF files. An entire system has been created out of this function.
We recently, in the last few days, upgraded the entire Adobe software suite on our server to X level. Since the upgrade, we have been unable to "drag and drop" any of our Livecycle forms in to any PDF files. We are receiving this message:
"You cannot insert pages from an Adobe XML form into another PDF file. To include Adobe XML forms with other PDF files, please use the following menu option: Document > Attach a File"
The problem is, we don't want to attached the file as a separate document. We need it in a specific place within the PDF document, not as an outside document.
This has worked for multiple years prior to our adobe upgrade, so I know it is possible.
Adobe Guru's, what I am missing?
Are there any known problems with showing / hiding a table column at run time?
I have a dynamic table that contains a column with a checkbox, and another column with a radio button. If the user is allowed to select more than one table row (as indicated by a form variable), then I want to show the check box column and hide the radio column. Otherwise I want to show / hide the opposite.
I am showing / hiding the column's header too. When I preview the form, however, the data in the table seems to "scoot" left and get placed into the column that is hidden, so to speak.
Here's a design view of the table:
And a run time view of the table. You can see the radio is hidden, but the "account number" column wants to squish into the (hidden) radio column,
Here's the script, I'm very confident in this little snippet of code because the account rows were populating wonderfully until I added the radio button column and the script to show /hide.
//Put the account data in the table function setAccountData(objAccountRow, objAccountItem) //pass in the row and the data to populate the row { //stuff the row
objAccountRow.accountNumber.rawValue
= objAccountItem.accountNumber; objAccountRow.accountName.rawValue
= objAccountItem.accountName; objAccountRow.accountBalance.rawValue
= objAccountItem.accountBalance;
//show the checkbox or the radio button, depending on the number of accounts they are allowed to select (as specified by the form variable)
var searchNumAccounts = objFragment.resolveNode("searchNumAccounts").value; //Form variable
if (searchNumAccounts==1) { //show the radio button column and hide the checkbox column hideObject(objResultsSubform.accounts.HeaderRow.txtSelect); <--this is overkill here, hiding the table header column for each row, ... hideObject(objAccountRow.accountSelected); showObject(objResultsSubform.accounts.HeaderRow.txtRadioSelect); showObject(objAccountRow.radioSubform.radioGroup.selected); }
else { //show the checkbox column and hide the radio column hideObject(objResultsSubform.accounts.HeaderRow.txtRadioSelect); hideObject(objAccountRow.radioSubform.radioGroup.selected); showObject(objResultsSubform.accounts.HeaderRow.txtSelect); showObject(objAccountRow.accountSelected); } }
