In Designer, go to the Data View tab. You should see a data connection.
Right-click on the data connection and select "Connection Properties".
The "Data Description Type" will tell you the type of data connection.
I'm not familiar with the SAP integration, but I'm pretty sure it's
using the LiveCycle Forms module to render the form.What type of data
connection do you have defined in Designer? It has to be one of the
following:XML SchemaSample XML DataData ModelWSDL FileOLEDB DatabaseI'm
guessing it is 1 or 2, in which case the instructions I gave you above
for exporting the XML data would still apply. You just need to make sure
the data in SAP looks like whatever is in the exported XML file.
Are you trying to write script to populate the line break, or do you
want to know how to generate the XML that gets fed into the form so the
line breaks will appear?The instructions I provided above will show you
how to script it.If you want to know what the XML should look like, do
this:Save your form as PDF (not XDP)Open the form in Acrobat Pro (if you
don't have Acrobat Pro, download and install the trial version from
Adobe.com)Fill out the field(s) in the formSelect Tools-->Forms-->More

Apparently the tags are getting encoded when you try to set the rawValue
of the field.Try this instead:var richTextValue = 'Line 1 of
textLine 2 of
text';xfa.resolveNode("TextField1.value.#exData").loadXML(richTextValue);
If it's a rich text field, you can use an html tag.This is
mentioned in the XFA Specification document:
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/xml/xfa_spec_3_3.pdf
Some questions:What is the placeholder form? Is it a LiveCycle form
built with designer?How do the values get populated into the "REAL"
form?Are you using LiveCycle Forms or LiveCycle Output to do this?Maybe
if you can explain the technical details of the end-to-end process it
would help...then I could at least give you some advice on how to debug
the problem.
The reason start and end date shows nothing is because of this line: if
(toDateAsNum > fromDateAsNum) thenThe calculation only runs if end date
is greater than begin date. Change the expression to >= to get the
desired result.
Add this to the calculate event for your workdays field (I also cleaned
up the code a bit):var fromDate = Start_Date1var toDate = End_Date1if (
HasValue(fromDate) & HasValue(toDate) ) then var fromDateAsNum =
Date2Num(fromDate, "YYYY-MM-DD", "en_IE") var toDateAsNum =
Date2Num(toDate, "YYYY-MM-DD", "en_IE") if (toDateAsNum > fromDateAsNum)
then var TotalDays = toDateAsNum - fromDateAsNum + 1 var currentDateNum
= fromDateAsNum var dayCnt = 0 for i=1 upTo TotalDays do var dayOfWeek =
Num2Date(curr...
You can ignore the warning. The display pattern will result in the dash
being added when you tab out of the field, bringing you up to 10
characters in the field.To add the calculate event to your barcode:Click
on the barcode fieldIn the script editor, select the "Calculate" event
from the dropdown listAdd in the following code (assuming your comb
field is named LANumber): if (LANumber.rawValue != null){ this.rawValue
= LANumber.formattedValue;}else{ this.rawValue = "";}
There's a problem with the calculate script where you're calculating the
weekend days.The problematic line is this one: var currentDateNum =
Date2Num(xfa.resolveNode("#subform.#subformSet.#subform[1].#subform[2].Table_SF.Table1.row1.Start_Date1").formattedValue,"DD-MM-YYYY")If
you print out the value, you'll see that it is always set to zero.Change
it to the following to fix the issue: var currentDateNum =
Date2Num(xfa.resolveNode("#subform.#subformSet.#subform[1].#subform[2].Table_SF.Table1.row...
Post your form somewhere and it will be much easier to help you. It's
extremely difficult to debug a problem with only an explanation of what
is occurring.
As the linked forum mentioned, you can do it but it won't be easy.Why do
you need to do this? What requirement are you trying to satisfy? There
might be a better way to meet your requirement.
You have 2 options...Create a single comb field with an edit pattern of
999999999 and a display pattern of 9999999-99. Add a calculate event to
your barcode which will populate the barcode with the display format.
this.rawValue = lanumber.formattedValue;Create separate comb fields for
the first seven digits and the last 2 digits. Add a calculate event to
your barcode field which concatenates the values together. this.rawValue
= firstSeven.rawValue + "-" + lastTwo.rawValue;
It's not clear what you're trying to do...What do you mean by
watermark...is it an image?What is the box? Is it a checkbox? Why do you
want to change it into a text box?Maybe if you explain the business
requirements it will make more sense.One thing you can do:Add your
watermark to the formPlace a checkbox over the top of the watermarkSet
the appearance of the checkbox to "None" (this will hide the border
around the checkbox and allow the watermark to show through)Set the
check style of the chec...
Your syntax looks funny to me...are you even seeing the message box if
you type an incorrect value? If not, then you have a typo.Here are some
samples that should work:Javascript:-------------- if (this.rawValue ==
"password"){ form1.Page1.xmlSubmit.presence = "visible";}else{
xfa.host.messageBox("Please enter Administrator password to access XML
Submit");}FormCalc:------------- if (form1.Page1.TextField1 ==
"password") then form1.Page1.xmlSubmit.presence = "visible"else
xfa.host.messageBox("Ple...
I see two things that are problematic:In general, you should try to
avoid putting fields on a master page...you can sometimes experience
unexpected results when you do. Move your table to the body page instead
and your problem will go away.All of your fields are set with binding of
"No data binding" (Object-->Binding-->Data Binding). As a result, if you
save your form, close and re-open it, the data will likely be lost. At a
minimum you should set the data binding to "Use Name".Some other
recomm...
Shouldn't Adobe add that to the list of documentation on the website? I
can find it through a google search but not from navigating the Adobe
site. That was the main reason I posted the question.
It's not in the list of development references:
http://helpx.adobe.com/livecycle/topics/developer-reference.htmlIt is
listed in the ES3 documentation:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/10.0/documentation.html#task=0,1,2,3,4,5,6&module=-1
Select your button, then open the script editor (Window-->Script
Editor).In the script editor you'll see a dropdown that says "Show:
Events with Scripts".Select "Click" from the dropdown.Paste the code I
provided into the editor.For the "Language" dropdown make sure
"JavaScript" is selected and not "FormCalc".That should do the trick.
Sounds like you want one user to type or paste a URL into a text field
and then another user to be able to click on the text in the text field
and be directed to that URL.I believe the recommendations above were all
referring to static text rather than text fields.I think what you need
to do is add a button next to your field. In the click event on that
button, add the following code (substituting the name of your text
field): xfa.host.gotoURL(TextField1.rawValue);This should give you the
desire...
I resolved this issue a long time ago, but thought I'd provide
additional info to close out the thread. I found some rendering errors
in the JBoss log. I'm not entirely sure why it was failing, but I think
it was related to my laptop being reassigned a new IP Address once I
connected to a new network. Restarting JBoss resolved the issue. It
would have been helpful if the Flex UI had presented an error message of
some sort.
I'm having issues getting the letter preview from within the
Correspondence Management Solution to launch. The UI just says "Loading
Letter..." and nothing ever gets displayed. I assume this is an issue
with Flex not being able to launch the Reader plugin via the Form
Bridge. I don't see any javascript errors, however. Any ideas or
thoughts on how to debug and/or resolve this?
Paul, Fair enough. The original post was about the use of data models
within LiveCycle ES, and it looks like the extent of that is just for
the creation of a Guide and a read-only PDF. I was expanding upon that
to give some feedback on my wish list for the product going forward. I
do think this has been some good, healthy conversation that we've had. I
also appreciate that you are monitoring these forums and giving us some
insight into the product development viewpoint.Thanks! Justin
I understand what you're saying, but I don't agree with the following
statement:It made no sense to allow you to have an interactive PDF to
collect information if you already have a Guide (especially seeing as
you would loose functionality that you coded into the model). You're
ignoring some of the benefits of PDF...it's more than just a document of
record. You can't take a Guide offline. You can't apply a digital
signature to a Guide. Right now I have to make an either/or
decision...either I pr...
Paul, Why do the limitations of XSD factor into this? Designer already
supports other types of data connections in addition to XSD. Sure,
they're all XML-based, but isn't Fiber as well? The way I see it, I
would expect to be able to bind any form (Flex form, Guide, PDF form) to
a Fiber data model. Once that form is submitted, I should be able to
leverage the data persistence capabilities that are available with Fiber
in LCDS. Right now it seems very disjointed. For example, suppose I want
to put...
