Adobe Experience Manager Forms

We have desktop-only version of AEM Forms Designer 6.5.21. We save and publish forms as static and Reader-extended PDFs only. We need to tag graphic elements - circles, illustrations, icons - as artefacts, but it is not possible in AEM to assign such items a role. And as you know, we cannot remediate XFAs in Acrobat. This is a problem for WCAG 2.1 level AA compliance. Is this something that is coming in a future update?

We are looking to utilize the headless Adaptive form to display the form on an external React SPA. As i understand JSON representation of the form is targeted at /content so it includes the validations, patterns, field limits etc that we configure at component level and that stay under the /content node. But in case of complex requirements, where i need to write my own JS functions, this wont work as client libs will never be sent back through the API. Are there any alternatives to do this ? how flexible is the rule editor in handling a little to medium complex validations. Example, an API call that needs to be made on field select, SSN masking, Prevent future date from being picked etc.

Hello All,We have a single template with English and Spanish pages combined, and the same template can repeat based on data. With this use case, how to get the page numbers specific to language and instance?Currently it returns total page counts, as page number calculated on master page default script.Any suggestions on this use case to achieve? When data for one Instance:<form><Template>     <English>     </English>     <Spanish>     </Spanish></Template></form> When data for multiple Instances:<form><Template>     <English>     </English>     <Spanish>     </Spanish></Template><Template>     <English>     </English>     <Spanish>     </Spanish></Template></form> Thanks,Raghu.

So, I have a scenario, We’ve more than 5000+ pdf and XDP to convert.we’re running on AEM on prem LTS.  Has anyone here done something similar? As this is going to be a lot of configurations, implementations and then migration. I need some guidance on how to achieve it. I am closely following documentation and seems like it should be easier process after the right configuration. Configure the Automated Forms Conversion service (AFCS) | Adobe Experience Manager I appreciate the help or any more documentation, if we have it. I have search on AEM forums but, didn’t find anything yet. 

Hi Team,I am using AEM as a cloud with Core Components-based Adaptive Forms and integrated form in my aem site. When the form is submitted, a default loading spinner appears.I would like to customize or replace this spinner so it matches our site’s branding.Could someone please clarify:    •    What is the recommended way to override the default submit spinner?    •    Which CSS class or JS event controls the submitting state?    •    Should this be handled through a custom client library (Sites or Forms-specific)?    •    Is there a supported, upgrade-safe approach without modifying /libs?Any guidance or implementation examples would be appreciated.Thanks

Hi,We are working on integrating FriendlyCaptcha in our Adaptive forms and wanted to understand if anyone already tried it before? Also, if there are any best practices around its integration especially from server side validation. Thanks,Vishal

Is there a way i can make an API call with file uploaded through attachment component ? As soon as the file is selected, i would like to trigger JS from my client libs to make an API call. Seems as per the design, the attachment ( which is unscanned for any potential malware) is uploaded into AEM. Is there a workaround ?Thanks,Abhishek

Hi Community,  I have questions for the adaptive form,  We have use case where we need to add the pagination for the adaptive form, is there any way we can achieve this? I haven’t seen such a business need in my previous role.  As adaptive forms consider as SPA it’s very uncommon, Also, can we bind the logic on adaptive form to achieve exact analytics data?  Best, Pathik

Hello, I have been working on a XFA Form I created using AEM Form Designer. The form is used to intake customers who come to our service center for computer repairs. It has 2 pages the first is for the customer and the second is for the technician and has the computer info, ticket number, and customer info that was inputted on first page. The customer can drop off up to 5 different computers per form. I originally built out a script using AcroForms which allowed me to print the customer page once and the technician page for the # of computers inputted on the form based on serial numbers with their respective fields being Serial1 through Serial5. The code below added the last page multiple times depending on if their were multiple serial numbers on the intake forms. This worked as intended without issues. Below is the code I used.  var printArray = [[0,0]];for(var i = 1; i<=5; i++){    if((Serial + i).value != “”){        printArray.push([1,1]);    }}var pp = this.getPrintParams(); p

Hi All, We are trying to embed an AEM Adaptive form in an external web page that is build using Angular. As per the official documentation, we tried the HTML injection using Ajax and Jquery. Though this worked, it opened up a lot of security questions as the HTML is being injected into the hosting page. This cannot be sanitized by Angular due to the JS and CSS existing. Also, them having to map the relative paths of client libs to AEM Server.Alternatives discussed were using iFrame. My question is to understand your take on both the approaches and what can be followed.We are also discussing headless delivery, we are on prem but this can be a longer term goal for us. My understanding is HTML injection how is Adobe recommending this approach with such security concerns around ? Are there any mitigation controls we can put in place. Thanks,Abhishek

Hi all, I have a PDF file for a form with logo, images and styling. I want to be able to enter this form in AEM Adaptive Form while all the fields are looking part of the PDF file and not just fields separately. How to create an XSD that could be used as a Model while creating an AEM Adaptive Form so that while entering form in AEM Adaptive Form, the PDF appears exactly same? Is there a tutorial for a sample PDF?I need a tutorial with just two fields, two images and for learning purpose only. Appreciate all your responses. Thanks,RK.

Having an issue with script for a custom calculation.I need to take number from a field and search through 323 fields to find a matching number, then search through 323 percentage fields and pull the matching field number percent value.This code worked on a small sample that I input, but is not working with my actual program:var target = this.getField("TargetNumberField").value; // The number you are searching forvar found = false;var result = 0;// Loop through 323 fields (assuming named Lookup1, Lookup2... or similar)for (var i = 1; i <= 323; i++) { if (this.getField("Lookup" + i).value == target) {// Match found, get corresponding percentage field result = this.getField("Percent" + i).value; found = true; break; // Stop loop }}Any and all help is greatly appreciated!if (found) { event.value = result;} else { event.value = ""; // Or 0 if no match}  

Hi Comunity,since today, maybe yesterday, preview tab in AEM Forms Designer is not working anymore.I’ve installed Designer v6.5.24 and Acrobat DC continuous.Viewing Task Manager shows, that Adobe Acrobat Process gets started, but window stays grey.After switching back to design mode, Adobe Acrobat Process remains started, also Adobe AcrobatCEF remains.Was this error behaviour seen before? Any ideas? BRStephan

Hi Team,We have a requirement to flip / mirror the content of a text field in an AEM Livecycle Forms created using LiveCycle Designer for SAP.Requirement Details: Ability to apply axis-based rotation (X / Z) on a text field Expected outcomes: Z-axis 180°  X-axis 180°  This is required at the textfield level, not at the page level Observations: There is no OOTB option for X-axis or Z-axis rotation Queries: Is there any OOTB capability, hidden configuration, or supported workaround in LiveCycle Designer to achieve flip/mirror text? Is this achievable via: FormCalc or JavaScript? XFA-level properties? Post-processing at the PDF level? Is this a known limitation of LiveCycle Designer? Kindly let us know If any Adobe-recommended solution exists.

Hi, We have a requirement to render PDF from Adaptive form on AEM 6.5.The rendered PDF should have the data from the Adaptive form as well. Currently I am using the below code window.guideBridge.getDataXML( { success: function(result) { var formData = new FormData(); formData.append("dataXml",result.data); var url = "servletpath?data=" + result.data + "&path="+path;to fetch the formdata from the adaptive form. This script is trigged on clicking a button in Adaptive form.A custom servlet is called from this script, which uses formservice.outputservice to render static PDFs along with data. The issue that we are facing is that the application is placed behind SI proxy and the request is then redirected from SI proxy server to AEM load balancer. In this case, the SI prxy server is appending url /abc/def/ to access all the pages on AEM.As a result, the AF are available on <SIProxydomain>:
