How to Use INR (Indian Rupee) Character in Adobe Livecycle?
Content is not shown with acrobat reader
Hi,
I created a simple form with Livescycle and even if when i look at the PDF with adobe reader, i can see enought privilege, i cannot really save the content.
Basically, i can open the PDF, fill the fields, save the document but when i reopen the document afterward, the content has disapeared. If i look at the same PDF with notepad, i can see the values next to the field but the values are not visible anymore in the reader.
You can download the file from that location :
I have tried a lot of thing before to take the decision to post a message here but despite my efforts, i am not able to figure out where is the problem.
Thanks in advance for your help....

Table rows functionality with passing data and instances
My form setup is as follows:
I have several check boxes overlaid on an image. Each box will have several actions associated to it (more on this in a minute).
I have a Table that will take in some data, depending on what check boxes are checked and unchecked.
Several things are happening as follows:
A table is setup with the following headers and respective rows - vial#(txt), location(txt), area(txt), amount(dropdown), price(dropdown), cost(calculated - eval(amount * price)).
When a check box is selected the following actions ensue:
location and area are filled with text values [ Condition: when box FR0 is checked; Result: set value of location to be some text, value of amount to be some text, set vocus on amount ]
When a check box is unselected the following actions ensue:
all fields are set to null.
NOTE: this actions work great with the first checkbox.
Now the issue at hand:
When the next checkbox is selected, what should happen is this: a new instance of the rows should appear, location and area should be automatically filled out in same manner as above and focus should be set on amount.
What happens is this: a new instance is created, focus is set on amount, but the 2 fields are not populated as in above example.
Next: When the other checkbox is unselected, the following should happen: the latest instance should dissapear and all cell values of last instance should be null.
What happens is this: the last instance goes aways but all the vlaues on original row (text only) also are set to null.
Now I know this setup is a mere issue with how I have my Table and subforms setup. So here is the setup of the form (also note images):
Row1 is under a Subform Values_subsection. Type: use all subforms in order / Binding: repeat section for each data item
Row1 has: Allow page breaks with content / Binding: repeat row for each data item
So where am I going wrong?
Thanks for all the help and suggestions in advance

Searchable drop down menu?
I have several drop down lists in a PDF I am creating. These drop down lists contain diagnoses to be used by physicians. With there being a LOT of diagnoses, it would be extremely convenient if I had a "search" function of some kind that could be utilized as the wording of the descriptions for the codes/diagnoses can vary: (Ex. "Rib Pain" or "Pain in Rib")
As of now, the only option is to select the first letter of the name they believe the diagnosis to have. Using this example, they would select the drop down menu and press "R" and the list would jump down to the beginning of the R's. But, if the name is actually "Pain in Rib", they would have to search through all the other diagnosis codes to locate it.
I believe a search function would be the most appropriate for something like this. But, I am having some trouble locating any info on coding for something of this nature. If there are any suggestions that could make this, (or something that accomplishes the same task), possible, I am all ears.
Thanks!
I included a pdf with the fragment with the drop down menus as well as a list of the diagnoses I have in them.
I appreciate any help or ideas. I've never been let down by the people here in these forums.

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!
Reading Data from a Table using loop
I have a dynamic table inside the PDF form. I want to loop through the table rows and read the cell contents. I successfully get the rows count in the table. But can't read the values from the cells. I have put editable TextField (txtName) control in each cell and trying to read its value.
screenshot is below.
Code I am using is:
form1.Page1.Subform1.btnReadTable::click - (JavaScript, client) var rowCount = MyTable._Row1.count; app.alert("Row Count: " + rowCount); var i = 0; for(i=0 ; i<rowCount ; i++) { //app.alert(MyTable.Row1[i].txtName.rawValue); // NOT WORKING app.alert(MyTable.Row1.txtName.rawValue); // WORKING, But just giving the value for the first row. }
Please tell me how can I get the value of each name in every row by looping.
Thanks in advance.

How to use both the 'text' and 'value' from a drop down list for different purposes
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.
create a drop-down list
it would be possible to create a drop-down list to take fields from an external database or excel file ?

Unexpected effects
I'm using Lifecycle ES4. I have a form in which one of 5 company logos is selected from a drop down field. That selection also fills in the appropriate contact information for the selected company.
My problem is when a text field (called facilityName) is completed by the user, the logo disappears. There is no script associated with the field facilityName (I checked using the Script Indicator). This disappearing act is also triggered by two more text fields neither of which has script associated. I have run out of ideas as to what is going on here. Any input or crazy ideas gratefully received! I am a newbie at this, so please bear with my novice mistakes.
livecycle limit text to visible area is ignored
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!
JavaScript/FormCalc Calculating Total Sum
Hi, I am building a fillable PDF payment form with LCD and have run into a problem with calculating the sum. I have a 10-Rows table where people can fill-in the prices and I have a another "Total Amount" box that I wish will automaticlly add up the total sum of all the prices. However, after spent nearly an entire week of trying, I can not get it to work....
I am a newbie at this and as of now, I have tried renaming the price boxes into "price1, price2, price3..." and used "Sum=(amount[Price1, Price2, Price3...])" in the Script Editor and I have tried with both languages(javascript/formcalc)..... but everytime when I go to preview, it either tells me that there is an error or the formula just doesn't do anything at all.... I don't understand where did I do wrong. It seems to me that I have done everything suggested on the discussions
Please do help if you can and THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!
PS: How do I upload the file?? it would be much easier to understand what I mean if you can see the form yourself.
Explain usage of "xfa.resolveNode" in laymen terms
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
Where to download LiveCycle Software
Pardon my inexperience but I have a question regarding availability of LiveCycle and I am very unfamiliar with Adobe and their products/services. We have a 3rd party product we've used for several years that allows us to merge Lotus Notes/Domino data onto PDFs. We created the fields on the PDFs using Adobe LiveCycle in the past (4 yrs ago). We have a new INS government requirement to update one of these PDFs by Jan 22, 2017 but we cannot seem to obtain a copy of LiveCycle (Standard ES4 or Forms Pro ES4) anywhere or it is extremely difficult.
I've left a message for Adobe Support but have not gotten a response. We are under a deadline and need some help obtaining a license. We subscribe to the Creative Cloud service but I cannot even find it there. Very frustrating....any help is appreciated in obtaining the LiveCycle version we need.
Thanks
Pasted Text Retaining Font, Size and Color Attributes
Hello,
I'm using Adobe LiveCycle ES4 to create forms for others using both (up to date) Windows and Mac OS. I have various text boxes that use a specific font, font size and color when used. I want the same font, font size and color to apply when they copy and paste text into the forms. Is there a way to do this besides using the Form Field Text Properties to reapply all the attributes? Is there a way to possibly force the font and other styles when users paste in text in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC?
Any solves for this issue? Thanks, any advice would be appreciated!
TimeSheet to round to nearest quarter hour
I have this time sheet that has four "In" and four "Out" columns,and calculates hours worked in a two week pay period. There is a column on the right that calculates the hours worked for the day (see script below). I need it to round to the nearest quarter hour i.e.,
If an employee arrives or leaves between:
":00" to ":07" minutes after the hour, calculate from the top of the hour
":08" to ":22" minutes after the hour, calculate from quarter after the hour
":23" to ":37" minutes after the hour, calculate from the half hour
":38" to ":52" minutes after the hour, calculate from three quarters past the hour
":53" to ":60" minutes after the hour, calculate from the top of the hour
Examples:
An employee records that they arrived at 8:07 a.m. Calculate from 8:00
An employee records that they arrived at 8:08 a.m. Calculate from 8:15
An employee records that they arrived at 8:22 a.m. Calculate from 8:30
An employee records that they arrived at 8:37 a.m. Calculate from 8:45
An employee records that they arrived at 8:53 a.m. Calculate from 9:00
Script in "Hours Worked" column
// compute block 0
var StartInterval = 0
if(HasValue(OUTA1[0]) and HasValue(INA1[0])) then
StartInterval = Time2Num(OUTA1[0].formattedValue, "HH:MM") - Time2Num(INA1[0].formattedValue, "HH:MM")
endif
// compute block 1
var LunchInterval = 0
if(HasValue(OUTA1[1]) and HasValue(INA1[1])) then
LunchInterval = Time2Num(OUTA1[1].formattedValue, "HH:MM") - Time2Num(INA1[1].formattedValue, "HH:MM")
endif
// compute block 2
var EndInterval = 0
if(HasValue(OUTA1[2]) and HasValue(INA1[2])) then
EndInterval = Time2Num(OUTA1[2].formattedValue, "HH:MM") - Time2Num(INA1[2].formattedValue, "HH:MM")
endif
// compute total time in hours from the millisecond value
Round(Sum(StartInterval, LunchInterval, EndInterval) / 3600000,2)
I know in excel I can use =(ROUND(B2*96, 0)/96)-(ROUND(A2*96, 0)/96) to get the results I want. So I tried entering in something similar into the FormCalc script but with no luck. If you could tell me what I need to do to get this to work I'd be very appreciative. Thank you, Derrick
Form with check boxes to hide unhide subforms
I have a form that I am creating in LiveCycle Designer that has multiple check boxes and other fields on page 1. Page 2 has some standard conditions. I also have hidden sub forms on page 3 and on, that I want to make visible based on what check boxes are checked. Is this possible?
Interactive Dialogue Box
Hi,
Is it possible to develope an interactive dialogue box in livecycle designer from whci we can select values? e.g. for a particular text field, if I enter 2 alphabets and click a search button, then it should display the resulting options in a small pop-up window from which any one value can be slected and that selected value appears in that text field.
Please let me know if this is feasible in Livecycle Designer ES.
