Error message in form Bad value: ‘designer_... only in Pro

[jds123]

Hi,

I get the following error message in my form.

Bad value: ‘designer_defaultHyphenation.para.hypenation’ of the ‘use’ attribute of ‘hyphenation’ element”. Default will be used instead.

The problem only occurs in Acrobat Pro not Reader. It seems as though Pro remembers things previously typed into the form field and then generates the error.

Perhaps there is a way to disable this feature? or?

Form created in Livecycle Designer ES2 V 9.0 Problem occurs in Acrobat X

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi,

It sounds like you have lost some hypenation settings in your form, not sure how it hasn't happened to me before.  You could try going into File ... Form Properties ... Formatting and click the "Remove All Hypenation", then you should be able to add it back in.

When you select the hypenation options an element is added to the form under the proto node, which you can only see in XML Source view.

      <proto>

         <field name="designer__defaultHyphenation">

            <para>

               <hyphenation hyphenate="1" excludeAllCaps="1" excludeInitialCap="1"/>

            </para>

         </field>

      </proto>

This means that any fields that reference these setting can do so via the 'use' attribute (see the para.hypenation element below);

         <draw name="Text1" w="114.3mm" h="19.05mm">

            <ui>

               <textEdit/>

            </ui>

            <value>

               <text>Text</text>

            </value>

            <font typeface="Myriad Pro"/>

            <margin topInset="0.5mm" bottomInset="0.5mm" leftInset="0.5mm" rightInset="0.5mm"/>

            <para>

               <hyphenation use="designer__defaultHyphenation.para.hyphenation"/>

            </para>

         </draw>

So it would seem you have 'lost' the bit under the proto node.  Maybe you can edit the XML Source and add it back.  There is a bit more on this here, http://blogs.adobe.com/lcdesigner/2008/07/hyphenation_under_the_hood_huh.html

I also use a similar technique here, http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Adding_Ghost_Text_to_LiveCycle_Designer_form-18436.html

Good luck

Bruce

Thanks for your help! I was not able to turn off the hyphenation - but was able to fix it by going into the xml sorce and removing the line of code.
