Reader extended form still throwing error

$

0

Form created in LCD ES4 V 11.

Saved as reader extended in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC V 2015-006-30244.

When opened in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC V 2015-020-20042 I get the:

This document has enabled extended features ... Please contact the author for original version

error

 

What am I doing wrong? I desperately need this to work on all versions of Adobe Reader products. I've Googled and Googled ... and all I can find is the reader extend directions.


How do I access LiveCycle Designer from my Adobe Acrobat X Pro?

     I am unable to access LifeCycle ES2 from my Adobe Acrobat X pro, even though I am supposed to have it as part of the software.  I have tried Forms/Edit forms, and I have looked for it through all the menus.  Several of the helps I have found for other things has me launch LifeCycle and operate from screens that LifeCycle designer provides. 

    I am using Windows XP professional.

    I would appreciate all the help I can get on this. 

 

Thanks

Palette menu buttons

$
0
0

LiveCycle keeps telling me that form objects are using features not available in the target version, and I should review details in the Report palette. Every bit of online help I can find tells me that I can open the Report palette using the Report palette menu button, but I can't find a Report palette menu button anywhere on my interface. It's probably right under my nose, but it's eluding me very effectively.

Hiding a master page based on a condition

$

Hi All,

 

I have created a form which has data on odd pages and some terms and condition on the back pages(even) pages. I am using Adobe Livecycle Designer ES version 8.1.2

 

For this I created 4 Master pages.

FirstPage - Pagination -> Odd/Even - > Odd (front) pages

                                   Placement -> First Page (in Page set)

 

Front Page - Pagination -> Odd/Even - > Odd (front) pages

                                   Placement -> Rest of pages

 

BackPage - Pagination -> Odd/Even - > Even (Back) pages

                                   Placement -> Rest of pages

 

Dummy - Pagination -> Odd/Even - > Blank page

 

I dragged the content area of back page on the dummy page.

 

This set up works fine for printing.

 

I have additional requirement of archiving, emailing and faxing. While sending a email or fax or archiving, the data should be continuous, the back master page should be removed otherwise they show in alternate pages as blank pages even if i set the presence property to visible(print only) .


Are there any settings which can be done to remove the master pages that are not needed based on a codition.
Any help will be appreciated.

Clear all items that was selected from dropdown list

$

I have dropdown box with list of predifined items, from which I can select items into a text field with an add and remove buttons. these all work very nice.

 

Currently I have to remove one by one item incase I made some wrong selections via the remove button. You need to select the item and then click remove to have the item remove.

the section under the remove button is as below and work 100%

 

form1.ListSAPApplication.deleteItem(form1.ListSAPApplication.SelectedIndex);

 

I would now like to add another button to "clear all" selections from the text field without the necessity to first select the item. When I click CLEAR ALL button all of the selections should be cleared..

 

any idea how to write the statement to clear ALL selections from text box.

 

Thank you kindly.

show / hide table column at run time

$
0

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:

 

tableDesignView.jpg

 

 

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,

 

tableRunTimeView.jpg

 

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);

    }

 

}

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


to do the impossible

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,

Conditional Required Fields

$

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!

Adding attachments to PDF form

$

I tried everything and looked everywhere and can't find the best solution to this problem.  I just need a way for the user to attach documents to a PDF form in Adobe Reader.  I have access to LiveCycle and Acrobat so is there way once the extended features are enabled for a user to add attachments to the form in Reader.  I have LiveCycle ES 8.2.1.  I guess the only possible way is when the user emails the form they can add the attachments then but I just want to see if it can be done by attaching to the actual form.

Change field value based on drop down list selection

Let me start by saying that I consider myself a complete rookie when it comes to this program but I am learning. I have a drop down box that contains two choices (White or Bright White) Based on the selection in the drop down box I would like to change a field value to reflect the appropraite part number (Alpha numeric if that matters). I will have 10 fields that will be an either/or value based on the selection. I have searched the forums but without understanding the terminology yet it is hard to find the answer.

 

Thanks for any help.

How to show current page number in formcalc?

$

I have a client who won't allow JavaScript in their forms for security reasons.  I'm trying to convert the JS I've used to work with FormCalc instead, but I don't have much experience with FC and I'm stuck at the first hurdle.

 

I want to display the current and total pages in the master page and I've changed the generated code to use FormCalc and changed to use the dollar reference, but the form doesn't render the current page number.

 

Here's the code

 

return.#pageSet[0].Restricted.CurrentPageNumber::ready:layout - (FormCalc, client)

//Doesn't work, even though it's copied from the reference material

this.rawValue = xfa.layout.page($)

// also tried

$ = xfa.layout.page($)


return.#pageSet[0].Restricted.NumberofPages::ready:layout - (FormCalc, client)

//Works

this.rawValue = xfa.layout.pageCount()

 

 

Any and all help would be really appreciated

Trying to print form fields only

$

I have made a fillable form with LiveCycle Designer, it is a 2 page form that my customer will receive by email, fill out and then feeds into a regular ink jet printer to print off fields onto an already pre-printed page they have in their office (they are basically filling out their name, address, etc contact information to print onto a brochure that is pre-printed) My client will use Acrobat Reader to fill in the form. Does anyone know a way to do this? I have read about making the background non-printable, or non-visible, but my background is an already created PDF that I have imported (with the forms built on top of it in LiveCycle). Doesn't seem to work unless I import it as an EPS.

 

I also have Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. Is there a different way I should be doing this instead of LiveCycle? I have tried to import the PDF background as an EPS, but the quality makes it really bad and I want the professional quality of the pdf that I already have built, as I have 10 of these to do and the PDFs are already done.

 

I have been trying to work this out for 2 weeks and still not getting anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Error: "Unrecognized namespace XFA 3.0, defaulting to XFA 2.8"

Hi,

 

I receive this message when I am working in LiveCycle Designer ES3 and I go to the "Preview PDF" section.  I also receive it when I close LiveCycle and open my form in Adobe Reader.  I click "OK" to close the error pop-up box, but it just keeps popping up and I am unable to do anything.

 

I am running Windows XP and I have Adobe Reader X.  

 

Thank you.

 

As an aside, I had to upgrade from ES2 to ES3 and subsequently lost much compatibility in my form creation.  Now I have to re-create my forms from scratch.  Good job, Adobe.  Thank you for fixing something that wasn't broken. 

How to set display patterns on a decimal field to handle user text entered in error.

$
0
0

Hi

 

I'm creating a PDF in LiveCycle, which has a decimal field with the display pattern 'num{zzz,zzz,zz9.99}'.  The idea is for users to enter a numerical value with a maximum of two decimal points (i.e. 1,234.01)

 

Now I'm testing this form out to see whether it'll handle any incorrect user entries - especially the scenario where a user enters some string (letters) in this field by error. When I'm testing this scenario on Acrobat Pro, any text entries will be cleared out as soon the user tabs out of the field (which is exactly what I want it to do as it only should accept numerical values).

 

However when testing this out in Adobe Reader (with Reader Extendability switched on), any text entries are replaced with a "0.00" when the user tabs out of the field.  Unfortunately this is not what I want .  Replacing an incorrect entry with a 0.00 is actually a misrepresentation, because 0.00 is a valid entry that the users should be allowed to enter if they want to (hope that last sentence made sense ).

 

Does anyone have any ideas how this can be sorted? I'm thinking this is something to do with the "Allow Empty" or the "Allow Zero" settings on the display pattern window.  But i haven't got a clue on where to start because I've never used those settings before. Any help anyone can provide me will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks. display pattern.JPG
