Re: Scrolling in Read Only Text Fields - Adobe LiveCycle 04-04-2006
Thanks Stefan,Lovely script. I tried your file in Acrobat and it did exactly as it said on the tin. I copied the Javascript for both the Enter and Exit events and while it would show the scroll bars, it would not restore the original content. (aaaaaggghhhhhhhh!).On a positive note the Client liked it when I showed it to him today. It's too late in the day now, I will tackled it again in the morning.Thanks again, Niall

Scrolling in Read Only Text Fields - Adobe LiveCycle 04-04-2006
Good evening,I am using a second dynamic PDF form to import XML data from a form completed by a user. The purpose of the second form is to score the User's responses. To maintain integrity I have set the text fields to "Read Only", so that the User's responses cannot be interfered with during the scoring process. In the original form when the text field is active there are scroll bars. However when I set the text field to read only, the scroll bar is not available.Is there a way of having scroll...

Re: Dynamic Forms reverting to Static on Saving - Adobe LiveCycle 03-04-2006
Thanks Chris & S,When I said "generate", I mean that I started out with a Dynamic file from scratch and have always sought to maintain it as a Dynamic file. The Preview is set to "Interactive Form" in the defaults. Designer is still behaving this way (as of this afternoon). I am ordering version 7.1 to see if that helps.Thanks, Niall

Re: Dynamic Forms reverting to Static on Saving - Adobe LiveCycle 31-03-2006
Sorry about this Chris,But another point is that I have applied PDF security (password protected) to the file, restricting users to "Filling in Form and Signing". Each time I open the file (it asks for the password) and then when I save it for the first time, it asks for the password to be confirmed. Would this affect the Dynamic. Niall

Re: Dynamic Forms reverting to Static on Saving - Adobe LiveCycle 31-03-2006
I do not know. A brief summary:1 Generate file as Dynamic;2 Save while doing work;3 If I open it afterwards in Acrobat, it behaves as a static form;4 This is confirmed when I do a "File / Save As" within Designer, as it has reverted to Static;5 It means that every time I am finished and wish to test the file in Acrobat, I have to remember to save it as Dynamic (and certainly before I send it out to the Client). I am having a lot of crashes with Designer (up to 15 a day) (although today has been ...

Dynamic Forms reverting to Static on Saving - Adobe LiveCycle 31-03-2006
Hi,I have set up several forms as Dynamic, however when I save them while working, Designer saves them as Static. I keep having to remember to do a "File / Save As" to force the Dynamic format. I have looked through the help file and I have set the default to Dynamic. Is there a way of forcing Designer to maintain the Dynamic format on each save? Any help gratefully received. Thanks, Niall

Re: Print Date and Time - Adobe LiveCycle 31-03-2006
Stu,I liked Stefan's solution that I added another text field over the date field, whose (FormCalc) calculation looked like this: if (PrintDate == null)then $ = ""else $ = "Printed at:"endifThis meant that the "Printed at" text only appeared when the date was printed on the output and not on the screen. I realise that this is probably not particularly pretty and that it may be possible to incorporate the "Printed at" in Stefan's Javascript or by having it as a PrePrint event rather than a calcul...

Re: Including Username Information in Form - Adobe LiveCycle 28-03-2006
Thanks Chris, Yes it was the Windows User information I needed. I am not quite at the Server stage yet, so I will work around it. If you get a chance, I am having two issues with Designer 7.01) It is crashing alot when designing the forms (10 to 20 times a day) and;2) I have set up the forms as Dynamic, however when I save them they are saved as Static. I keep having to remember to do a File / Save As to force the Dynamic format. I have looked through the help file and I have Dynamic the default...

Including Username Information in Form - Adobe LiveCycle 27-03-2006
Based on the huge success earlier, here is a problem I posted a while back...I need to include User Information in the Designer Form each time the form is printed out. For example: "Printed by Joe Bloggs on the 23/11/2005 at 10:32am" "Printed by Jane Smith on the 24/11/2005 at 3:45pm" The date I can do, however I cannot find a way to to get Designer to insert the user information of the person actually viewing the document or printing the document at any particular time. I need to do this, so th...
