Re: Deleted text reappears after saving! - Adobe LiveCycle 27-10-2009
We have found that the data only persists in text fields set to rich text format with binding set to normal which lie in flowed subforms. So it's clearly not just to do with the way acrobat/reader handles data in general but it must be something in the xml tags for rich text that's causing reader to handle it differently. Might the rich text tags be adding something I'm not seeing?

Re: Deleted text reappears after saving! - Adobe LiveCycle 26-10-2009
That didn't fix it. Maybe caching isn't the problem. I'ts definitely not just the setting in reader as it does the same in acrobat. Any other ideas?Thanks,Richard

Re: Deleted text reappears after saving! - Adobe LiveCycle 26-10-2009
Hi Paul,I can't see this setting, even if I have reader open with no file loaded. This may well be the problem though. Obviously I'd rather the solution wasn't making everyone who would use these forms disable caching (especially if I can't find the setting for it!). So is there a way to set the form to disable caching?Thanks again for your help,Richard

Re: Deleted text reappears after saving! - Adobe LiveCycle 26-10-2009
Hi Paul,Thanks for the speedy response.Here's some simple instructions that will cause the issue for me.1. Download the form I posted (it is already extended for use in reader).2. Open it in reader and type something in the text field like "hello".3. Close the form and click "Yes" when it asks if you want to save.4. Open it in reader again and clear the text.5. Close it again and again click "Yes" to save it.6. Open it in reader once more and notice it still says "hello" (or whatever).I feel thi...

Re: Deleted text reappears after saving! - Adobe LiveCycle 26-10-2009
Hi Paul,I'm using reader 9. I tried to create a demo form completely from scratch and it worked fine, which leads me to believe it's nothing arising from an old software version. So I made this demo one from (a completely stripped down version of) the template I've been using to make most of my forms and it still has the same problem. Hopefully this just means it's a setting wrong somewhere. I hope you can find something! Thanks,Richard

Deleted text reappears after saving! - Adobe LiveCycle 26-10-2009
Hi there,I have made several forms in livecycle designer and extended them in acrobat for use with adobe reader. When users save data in the forms and reopen them it is still there as before. Also if they update the data and save and reopen it is still updated. All good so far. However if they delete data (and leave a field blank) and save and reopen they find that the original (deleted) data is still there. This only seems to happen in text fields inside flowed subforms (Which is most of my fie...

Re: Centeral alignment in flowing (L-R) form (hAlign?) - Adobe LiveCycle 02-06-2009
Hi Paul,It can be almost any size hence me wanting this functionality rather than just putting it in roughly the right place. Thanks for your efforts but I guess I'll just make the whole lot a big text field with centered text and rely on them not to mess it up. Richard

Re: Centeral alignment in flowing (L-R) form (hAlign?) - Adobe LiveCycle 02-06-2009
Hi Paul,That is odd that it centers automatically for you. I thought I might have accidentally changed something so redownloaded your version and opened it in reader 9 without touching anything. I still get the same results. It centers in the inside subform (off to the right) when the field expands and it jumps back to the left when I press add row twice. You're sure this doesn't happen for you? You haven't changed anything since the version you posted? I'm very confused...Thanks,Richard

Re: Centeral alignment in flowing (L-R) form (hAlign?) - Adobe LiveCycle 01-06-2009
Hi again Paul,Layout -> center horizontally just positions it there, it doesn't do anything to keep it there once it expands or the page is altered. I've set the unnamed subform's width to expand to fit so that the width is that of the text and the text would be truly centered and now the text doesn't move at all. Clearly this is not a solution at all! Argh! As you uploaded it it was centering in the unnamed subform and jumping back - which is the same as I had before, except that you've somehow...

Re: Centeral alignment in flowing (L-R) form (hAlign?) - Adobe LiveCycle 01-06-2009
Hi Paul,I'm using Acrobat 9 too and mine's still jumping back to the left of the internal subform... It happens if i press add row twice. What did you do to make it center? Do you have any other ideas as this clearly isn't working for me? If I did use javascript what event should it be on so that every time I load/refresh the subform it positions it where the code tells it to?Thanks for your continued help,Richard
