Hi all

I am very new to the Livecycle product ...WOW ..it's awesome !

I wonder if someone could please help me ....

I am using Livecycle Designer ES2 latest version and it is sinstalled stand alone on my PC.

My two problems are :

1. I would like to add an image into the fillable .pdf I am creating, so I can click anywhere on the image and I could set an action to go to a particular are in the .pdf file or to a url or print.

My questions are as follows :

Is this possible ?

If so the how do I do it ?

2.As a teacher I let my students fill in the fields in the fillable .pdf file and after making all the selections, they click submit or print.

Is there any way the resultant form can still be fillable because once they have finsihed doing the clicking and filling in the fields I would still like to edit it and then finally save/submit or print it.

Can it be done ?

If so then how do I do it ?

Really looking forward to a little help :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks a million

Hi Dean,

Here is a sample of the image issue: https://acrobat.com/#d=EGVpC0TT2iHGyNXPUqWmCw

You can create/drag buttons from the Object Library onto the page. Then in the custom appearance you can set the fill and border to the look and feel you want.

In LC Designer, make sure that in the File > Form Properties > Defaults tab, you set 'preserve script changes' to automatic.

Also the object should have a 'normal' or 'name' binding in the Object > Binding palette. It depends on which version of LC Designer you are using.

When deploying forms it is important to consider what your users will open the form with - Acrobat or Reader. Here is a summary of what features are available depending on what the user has and whether the form has been Reader Enabled:

A summary and PDF is here:

There are two ways to Reader Enable the form: using Acrobat OR using the full server product LC Reader Extensions ES2. Come back if you need more info.

Good luck,

Niall
