Disable "Show Tab Order" default when opening document - Adobe LiveCycle 26-11-2009
I've been trying to figure out what I did to my installation of LiveCycle Designer but, on my workstation, it is somehow set to "Show Tab Order" by default when opening an existing PDF form for editing. This means that I have to turn off this feature EVERY TIME I open a document. It's really wearing on me as I open hundreads of PDF forms in a day's time. I'd say I've lost many hours of productivity just turning off this feature... Does anyone know how to turn off this display feature until reque...

Re: PDF Form won't allow preview thumbnail or modify initial view... - Adobe LiveCycle 27-09-2009
Ok, it looks like I've found the solution to for the initial view problem by adding the following code to my DocReady event (thanks to another thread contributor here on the forum)... "app.execMenuItem("FitPage");"Still, I can't seem to get the thumbnail of the document to render properly. Here's a screenshot of two PDF forms I've created showing their listing in Windows...As you can see, after adding a few DocReady script values to the form, it no longer shows up correctly in the Windows Explor...

PDF Form won't allow preview thumbnail or modify initial view... - Adobe LiveCycle 27-09-2009
The attached PDF doesn't correctly create the preview thumbnail in Windows. Also, I'm not able to modify the Initial View field in Acrobat to allow the document to open in the "fit page" magnification. Any ideas how I can get this document corrected?

Re: Adding a watermark to a form... - Adobe LiveCycle 27-09-2009
Yeah, I think I'm going to open a new thread since this one is just about creating a watermark properly (and that problem is solved). I'll go ahead and start it shortly. Thanks again everyone for your help!!

Re: Adding a watermark to a form... - Adobe LiveCycle 26-09-2009
Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm totally happy with the results of your solution Niall! But I just noticed that the thumbnail preview now created by the revised PDF document with the watermark added, is as shown below. Is there some other revision I need to make to have the thumbnail render correctly now? If not, I'm not too upset as I'm more concerned with a good watermark that isn't selectable (which I now have). Here's a screenshot for comparison between the before and afters...Any ideas about th...

Re: Adding a watermark to a form... - Adobe LiveCycle 25-09-2009
The frustrating thing is that I believe I'm getting close to the solution. I can create a perfect PDF form by using MS Word to create the watermark in the background. If I try and import the Word document straight into LiveCycle, it converts the word art to an image (poorly to boot). I can convert the Word document to a PDF and it looks wonderful. If I use that PDF to start with in LiveCycle, all of the text capabilities are turned off for some reason. I can create text FIELDS or check boxes but...

Re: Adding a watermark to a form... - Adobe LiveCycle 25-09-2009
Putting the PNG file in the master page helps somewhat. It makes the image unselectable in the design view but it still blanks out the grid dots in the design view. Also, the image is still selectable within Acrobat when the form is saved. Surely I can't be the only one that's hoping to create a form with a watermark in the background!! Any other ideas?
