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

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
Abdou
Hi Everyone,
Can any one please show me how to create a form with table of contents (TOC). I have a form that contains 8 pages with 8 sections and the customer want
to have a TOC so they can just click on it and it will directly go to a specific section without scrolling down of the form. They want it to work like a TOC that
people used in Microsoft Office. Is it possible to have it done in LiveCycle Designer? If so, could anyone please show me how to create it or if you have any
sample please post it on this forum. Any advise/help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Han Dao
I have a form that I am creating that has a dropdown menu (1-10 numbers) which I need to convert the selected number to a long text field on a different field. The text fields are just too long to use on the dropdown menu.
if (dropdownlist=1) then
(textfield1="some long text")
End if
What is the correct format for the formCalc script to use? I am assuming that I can repeat the number to text conversion script.
Thanks
I know this may be a novice question, but can someone please explain when/why xfa.resolveNode is used form design? Is it a form of shorthand to keep from referencing a parent subform?
Thanks in advance
I have built a form with LiveCycle designer, to sent to my client. The plan is that the client must use it to order a work with us, and I get the correct info about the work. The form is done so, that I can write in it also, how the problem is solved and how long I've used, and then send it to the billing. The problem is, in LiveCycle Designer, I have tested the form, and everything worked perfectly. After I send it to my client, and the client will send it back with info about the work, the client could not send at all... What i'm doing wrong?
I have attached a Link to Form.

Hi all,
Wonder if anyone can help please:
On a text field within a table cell, I want to select "limit length to visible area". When I do, I get the error icon and the message says "This object may not work properly. Limit to visible area is ignored on fields set to expand to fit"..
But, none of the fields are set to "expand to fit" (box below) so I don't know why I get this message.
However, the table itself defaults to "auto fit" (box below) and that box is checked, but it's grayed-out so I can't uncheck it.
I've never had this problem before. Any thoughts?
Thanks much!
Hi - I have used code referencing the 'specified values' of the items in a drop down list to hide/show a range of subforms. I want to be able to use the 'text' of the same items to populate a text field. This text field will become the 'subject' line of the email that this form is attached to when submitted. Is this possible, or will I have to change the drop down list to 'global binding' and change the code for the subform functionality? Thanks for any help.
What are the instructions: I am creating a form. I have a text field and two drop downs next to it. I would like it if the person who is completing the form could just enter and a new line will add automatically. Is this possible?
I have done a bit of Livecycle Designer localization work here and there, but this project is much more challenging than others I've tried, and it has me stumped. I've been asked to rebuild an English PDF form as an Arabic form, and have been given a bilingual table in Word with the translations that they're expecting me to paste in. I've figured out how to adjust the locale to Arabic, but not how to convert a left-to-right table into a right-to-left table. If I create a new table, I can select RTL rows. I can see the row in the XML tab, but I see no indication of table layout direction or row layout direction there.
Do I have to rebuild all these tables from the ground up with RTL rows, or is there some way to change the currently-LTR rows into RTL rows?
Is there anyone know how to create Macro PDF417 barcodes using LiveCycle Designer ES3?
Thanks,

Hi, i`m trying to do own click event to POST data to submit.php file by HTTP.
I have got script line which is not working properly:
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"http://www.sample.com/submit.php",cSubmitAs:"URL-Encoded Data (HTTP Post)",cCharset:"utf-8"});
It`s submiting empty document.
Im not sure about that phrase: cSubmitAs:"URL-Encoded Data (HTTP Post)". I know there are ways to do it like: "PDF","HTML","XML", but i don`t see any option to do it in "URL-Encoded Data" way. Is that syntax is correct?
Thx
Good Evening,
I am creating a local form in LiveCycle and I want users to be able to fill out the form and click a button, which will save the field values to a SQL Database table.
I have done the below so far:
1. Created the SQL Database, table and columns within it. I have one column which auto-increments as the record id set as a primary key.
2. Created a data connection within my LiveCycle form and binded the specific fields to it.
3. Created a button and within the "click" event, I have the below code:
xfa.sourceSet.DataConnection.addNew();
So with the above done, I then fill in the fields and click the button. Results of what happen are below:
1. The values in my fields clear out.
2. The table within the SQL Database does not add the new record with what was inputted on the form.
So I was thinking maybe for whatever reason the data was never hitting the table. So I:
1. Created one record within the database table manually, inputting the necessary values.
2. Modified the form button within the "click" event with the below code:
xfa.sourceSet.DataConnection.update();
When I opened the form the below happened:
1. My specific fields were populated with the values from the SQL Database table upon opening the form.
2. I modified the fields with different values.
3. I clicked the button with the code to "update" the record and noticed that:
a. The new values in my form fields cleared out.
b. The new values were saved to my SQL database table.
So I figure I must be doing something wrong with my code to add new records to the database table.
What I would like to accomplish is:
1. When user opens the form, the form is blank.
2. When user inputs all values in to the specific fields and clicks the button, that the values in the fields remain on the form and are not cleared out.
3. The values that the user inputted on the form are created in the SQL Database table.
Kindly advise how I can accomplish this.
Regards,
K
I'm still very new to LiveCycle and I'm editing an existing form for our company. When the form is filled out and sent back to us by cients, we take the information in that form and put together a word doc (a templated document that's almost the same for each company, except the personal info and dates/ account info is changed). We convert the word doc to PDF then attach it as an email to the client.
Right now we just manually copy and paste the info from the form (address, name, date, and a few account details) into the body of the word doc then save as pdf. What I'd like is to have a button in the form, something like 'Build Letter to Client' which essentially builds that document for me and converts into PDF. I can build a hidden subform within my form and populate the letter with the information the client inputs, but how do I then export just that subform as a separate PDF file? Is that even possible?
Or am I going about this the wrong way-- should the templated PDF doc be a separate file that then uses data from my form to fill in the fields, like a mail merge type function in Word?
If anyone has a link to a form/ forum post/ adobe article that explains how I could do this it would be greatly appreciated!
Pages are set to flow Direction Top to bottom and page breaks are allowed within the page
The subforms on the page are set content: positioned, auto fit in height.
So is there a way to avoid unwanted creation of the gaps?
I have created an interactive form in Adobe Livecycle Designer ES version 8.2.1 that includes interactive fields that requires plain text, and e-signature fields. When the form is opened with the latest version of Adobe Reader the form cannot be saved if the fields have text input, and the e-signature is not an option at all. When opened with Adobe Pro these issues do not arise. I need to post it on our intranet so that the top portion of the form can be completed, saved, and then emailed to another party for approval, who would then sign the form, save it, and email it to me. Is there a way to save my form in Livecycle so that anyone with Adobe Reader can fill-in the form, sign it, and save it?
