Re: Embed Files? - Adobe LiveCycle

and you can access the attachment with scripts. e. g. you can attach your current vendor list with Acrobat. Then you can add the vendor's address via scripting even when your data source only provides the vendor number.

Re: conditional data binding question - Adobe LiveCycle

That appears unnecessary to me.Conditional bindings without any scripting perfectly perform the task. You do not need to script for this kind of task.I just checked with one of my example forms:$.Legobrick.[Color<>"green"]works perfectly to bind only subforms where the underlying element "Color" does not have the value "green".

Re: Convert PDF created using LiveCycle Designer to PDF viewable in Adobe Reader? - Adobe LiveCycle

I'm afraid no.Acrobat is a completly different ballpark. You have different classes and objects there and actually not really events. In case you have a ton of scripting in your XDP you can only hope for Surface tablets or else spend an awful lot of time trying to come close to the old functionality

Re: Convert PDF created using LiveCycle Designer to PDF viewable in Adobe Reader? - Adobe LiveCycle

I prefer saving the XFA-PDF in Acrobat as PostScript (.ps). Then I create in Acrobat a new Acro-PDF with the PostScript. Has always worked fine. Of course all form fields and scripting is lost. You have to add that all over again with Acrobat. The form layout will change with every change request. Then you change the XDP and produce with the PostScript detour a new Acro-PDF. The good thing is that you can swap individual PDF pages with Acrobat. So fortunately your form fields and scripting are n...

curved text - Adobe LiveCycle

We would like to print lables with curved text. Apparently there is no curved text in LiveCycle Designer. Are there any add-ons that would produce curved text in XDPs? I would suppose that add-on (if it existed) would produce graphics.

Re: Save LiveCycle Designer ES4 PDF Forms with Acrobat Reader DC - Adobe LiveCycle

I can confirm that "Weitere Werkzeuge aktivieren (mit Ausfüllen und Speichern von Formularen)" the same menu item is as "Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)".(Actually I use the German version myself and it works with my Acrobat.)But I have no explanation why that doesn't work with your XFA-PDF.You might want to check whether there is any scripting code that resets the form upon opening.

Re: How to create duplicate subforms - Adobe LiveCycle

"the XML wears out with use". LiveCycle runs down the XML and fills the data into matching fields with the correct binding. But LiveCycle never runs back upwards in the XML to start filling other objects with matching bindings.You can use global binding by name (not recommendable as unsafe - you never know whether a field with the same name will be added in 4 years).Or you script: You copy the data manually from one subform to the next.

Re: LiveCycle - Signature field in Text box - Adobe LiveCycle

What you got is a floating text field within a text box. This floating text field has been changed to a signature field later on in the object tablet.This way the signature box will float with the text in the box. (Assuming you set the text box to be expandable.)Be aware: text boxes are for static text (although it might be possible to change the text dynamically later on).If you plan to change the text in the text box at runtime, then you should switch to text-fields.If you plan to insert a pas...

Re: preventing unautorize people to read a pdf. - Adobe LiveCycle

It depends on the required degree of confidentiality:It is possible to add a password with Acrobat to prevent unauthorized persons to open the PDF in Designer. But there are tools to open this PDF anyways. Regular users will not be able to read your scripting - others can.Of course you can ask for passwords and set subforms "hidden" oder "visible" depending on the password.sPassword = xfa.host.response("What's your password?", "Password", "", true);switch(sPassword) { case "CEO": this.presence =...

Re: Annotations not accessible in form made in LiveCycle, saved as Reader enabled - Adobe LiveCycle

It is simply either / or in Acrobat: Either you chose the saving-form data-permission or you chose the annotate-permission. They do not allow you to have both - unless you reader extensions. (Annotations would be impossible in dynamic forms anyways. I suspect your form being dynamic, as it contains an expandable field.)

Re: Possible to fill 2 different table dependent on the data input - Adobe LiveCycle

Without scripting it is (almost) impossible to fill two tables with the same XML data: You can bind your data "by name" (which you usually avoid, as it is unsafe in the longrun). You can duplicate your data in your XML. Or you can duplicate your XML data with XSLT. Or you script: Basically for every row being added during the XML import in the first table you add a row in the second table and copy your data there.

Re: Text field disappears after saving - Adobe LiveCycle

If you don't need a binding on the fields, then remove it! (In case there is some binding on those fields.)Sometimes that helps.

Checkbox with named binding is reset after save - Adobe LiveCycle

But those needless bindings should not hurt.]Many checkboxes had the same name. (Table rows with true/false-checkboxes.)In the post-save event those checkboxes still had their values.But after saving the PDF and reopening it, those checkboxes had lost their values. Th...

The best thing would be of course if someone knew a way of accessing such a subform without provoking an error mes...

Re: If I have Acrobat DC do I have Livecycle form designer? - Adobe LiveCycle

Not if you have bought the designer.The designer used to be installed together with Acrobat. Certainly since Acrobat XI you have to buy it separatly - unless you licensed the LiveCycle-Server / AEM-Forms-Server. Then you have the designer included. Or if you use SAP - there you can also have a designer.

Re: xfa.host.exportData() with dynamic interactive table ignores new rows - Adobe LiveCycle

Managing data from a DB is a completly different ballbark. With a DB you cannot fill your table directly. You rather have to query your data and then loop over the results inserting them row by row. Am I right?So unfortunately your hint would lead to a different direction. My data source is XML.(Excel I have never tried. From what I hear you'd have to find a Microsoft-ODBC-driver for Excel. Sounds to me that the rest would be the same as with a DB.)I just finished some experiments with input-XSL...

Re: xfa.host.exportData() with dynamic interactive table ignores new rows - Adobe LiveCycle

I tried to isolate the problem and wrote a litte form consting only of the table and the buttons.There I can export new rows.One difference to the original form is: In the little form I do not use a XSL to transform the input data.I also removed the XML file from the preview in the original form: same problem, new rows not exported.I will try a few things with an XSL for the output data. Maybe that will give a clue.
