I want to add multiple master pages to my form (one in portrait, one in landscape). I thought this would be easy. I am pretty new to Livecycle but I thought using the pagination settings would be the way to do it. Unfortunately the settings on the pagination pallet are always greyed out. I've looked around on other discussions here and the answer seems to be to set the subforms to flowed. I've done that to all the subforms on my first page (event the tables that didn't need it) and the pagination settings for the master pages are still greyed out. Is there something I am missing here?

Reset all fields in a repeating subform and restore instance count back to 1
I've played around with a few different scenarios and able to achieve parts of the solution, but not there fully.
Whenever I use.....xfa.host.resetData("xfa.form.form1..."); ...it only resets the fields in the 1st instance of the repeating subform. So if I have 3 instances, it only resets instance 1.
Currently, the subform is set to an initial count of 1, and additional instances are added via an "Add" button.
Thus, I'm looking for a solution that will not only reset all content within a "specific" subform (not entire form), AND restore the instance count back to 1.
Thank you in advance!!!

how can a form compile results without email?
Begging for help! I have some DYNAMIC PDF forms completed and ready for use, but am stuck on some crucial areas:
- How can the data be collected if they don’t want to use the ‘email’ option, as they don’t have someone available to check email daily? I can see how the data is collected on the server; it comes in one at a time as an .xml file; how can these .xml files be auto-compiled?
- How, oh HOW do we get this to work within a SharePoint 2013 environment? Is there a separate component that needs to be purchased? I have Adobe LiveCycle ES4 Designer, but no one in the company has used this before, and none of our network people are able to find what they need. [“…s I read their “Connecting to a Contact Management System – Configuring Connector for SharePoint”, it looks pretty much about the same. Everything is about setting up the connection on the LiveCycle Server side.
I am kind of left to assume, that if the configuration is good on the LiveCycle Server side, it will connect in and make the changes so that it shows up in Site Settings in SharePoint? Because there doesn’t seem to be any “in SharePoint do this….” Until it says to go find LiveCycle on Site Settings. No clue as to how it gets there…”]
I’m dyin’ here – please help! = ]Thanks so much!!

How do I lock text fields in my forms?
I've got a form set up which includes text fields, image fields and buttons which "jump" users to other pages on the form. The form behaves exactly how i want it to... ie is editable and has been populated with content by the client. I now want to lock the text and image fields but preserve the functionability of the buttons, allowing other users to view, ideally copy and paste content, and navigate around the form without being able to edit it.
I thought i could do this by password protecting it in Acrobat, however this also disables the buttons. Is there another way to do it? I saw mention in another thread of being able to lock down the text fields but i don't understand how this is done.
Thanks for your help!

calculating times in 15 minute increments
Good Afternoon,
I am making a form where we report how much leave is being used. The leave will be reported in 15 minute increments. (Ex: fifteen minutes = .15; one-half hour = .30; 45 minutes = .45) I need to be able to add these up and have them keep this format of 15 minute increments. Also, I need the display to be a decimal instead of a colon, if possible. (Ex. 3.45 instead of 3:45).
any advice is 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

Cursor position is centered vertically in multiline text field
When I insert a text field, resize the height so that it can accommodate several lines of text, and select "Allow Multiple Lines," the cursor is always left-aligned and centered vertically in the text area when opened in Acrobat.
Is there a way to force the cursor to appear in the upper left corner, so that input text appears starting at the top of the text area, rather than the middle?

totalling rows based on cerain input in a cell
I have a table that you can add or remove rows by clicking a button. in the row is a drop down box of different departments. another cell is a numerical field. I want to have a total box for each department, but am unsure of how to code this. For example, the first row is department 1 and then 5.00, the second row is department 2 and 10.50, the third row is department 1 and 7.95. The first row was on the form originally and the second and third rows were added by clicking a button. How do i come up with a total of 12.95 in a total box for department one and 10.50 in a total box for department two?

Calculating times past midnight
Hello All,
I am working on a timesheet for employees. It has 4 time fields (amIN, amOUT, pmIN, pmOUT) to allow for a lunch break. I have a script that calculates well for normal business hours. BUT, if the work shift goes past midnight, then it does not calculate correctly.
Here is what I have in FormCalc in a calculate event:
var fullTime = 0
var breakTime = 0
if (pmIN ne null and pmOUT ne null) then
if (Time2Num(amIN.formattedValue, "HH:MM") < Time2Num(pmOUT.formattedValue, "HH:MM")) then
fullTime = Abs(Time2Num(amIN.formattedValue, "HH:MM") - Time2Num(pmOUT.formattedValue, "HH:MM")) /(60 * 60 * 1000)
else
fullTime = 24 - Abs(Time2Num(pmOUT.formattedValue, "HH:MM") - Time2Num(amIN.formattedValue, "HH:MM")) /(60 * 60 * 1000)
endif
breakTime = Abs(Time2Num(pmIN.formattedValue, "HH:MM") - Time2Num(amOUT.formattedValue, "HH:MM")) /(60 * 60 * 1000)
$ = fullTime - breakTime
else
fullTime = Abs(Time2Num(amIN.formattedValue, "HH:MM") - Time2Num(amOUT.formattedValue, "HH:MM")) /(60 * 60 * 1000)
$ = fullTime
if (amIN == null) then $=null else $=(fullTime - breakTime)
endif
endif

Problem with the appearance of radio buttons
Hello,
I have a dynamic form with a lot of radio buttons (Yes-No choices with either Yes or No tagged as default, a cross appears for the default choice). It usually works fine.
I hadn't used this form for quite some time, but when I opened it this morning, all radio buttons have the figure "6" instead of the usual cross.
I have no idea what happened.
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance.

Adding and deleting rows in multiple tables and copying data
Hello,
I have a document that I would like to have expanding tables. I have been able to use a button to add an instance of a row to 2 different tables as well as delete a row from both tables simultaneously. I would like to however, also allow the second table to be repeated with the same extra rows that are in the first. And then be able to delete the same rows in every column.
I also cannot figure out how to have the same data in each of the tables. I am only needing 1 field out of the first table to be entered into the rest of the tables.
This is sort of a representation of what I would like to do. the first table should be able to add rows which will then add rows to the other 2 tables with the same information in the first cell. Then, the second two tables should have the ability to be repeated and still contain the same data.
| Name | Info | Info2 | Header 4 | Header 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Entry1 | ||||
| Entry2 |
| Name | Header 2 | Header 3 |
|---|---|---|
| Entry1 | ||
| Entry2 |
| Name | Header 2 | Header 3 |
|---|---|---|
| Entry1 | ||
| Entry2 |
I know this is a lot to ask and I appreciate anyone's help.

Text summary via loop through?
Hi,
I'm trying to generate a text summary field at the end of a form. The form has many sections which could be shown, hidden, or duplicated so I assume the best way is to do a loop through of all the visible form objects - rather than telling the summary field to get field values at defined locations, tell it to go look for what's there and report back.
The summary format is "caption = value; caption = value;" etc
It could run on a button click, though to prevent differences between the field value and the summary value, ideally this would run live, e.g. on the calculate event of the summary field.
Any help gratefully received!

LiveCycle Designer ES4 crashes on Preview PDF
I am running LiveCycle Designer ES4 sp1, with Acrobat DC and Windows 10. I can preview a pdf in LCD but it will eventually just crash. This is regardless of whether it is a file I've worked on or a brand new file. I believe I can reproduce it by switching to Preview PDF (first time it works fine), go back to design mode then back to preview PDF and it crashes. If I switch to Reader, I can work with files without a crash.
The message is:
Adobe LiveCycle Designer has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
I tried removing the AppData but that did not solve the problem.
UPDATE:
I have uninstalled Acrobat DC 3 times, cleared the AppData, removed fonts, however the problem still exists.

Lookup data row to populate form.
I have successfully created a SQL data connection. I am able to setup the basic buttons (like First, Next, Last, Add, etc) for moving through records. I can see the SQL data records in the fields I have bound to the data in the form.
What I want to be able to do is have 2 fields (username and password for example) in the form that can be used to find and select a specific row of data from the SQL database. I don't want users to be able to see and step through all these records from everyone who has ever submitted a row of data via the pdf form. I want them to only be able to see and modify their row of data. I figure the easiest way to do this is have the username/password on that same row of data and have a select statement based on those username and password fields that the user can enter. So that if username and password entered = username and password in a specific row then display that row of data in the form. This should be simple enough to do but I'm not finding the correct way to script a search/lookup button for this task.
