So the scenario goes we've got 6 activities that our stakeholder can choose from and a table would populate for them to fill in the details i.e. date; $rate etc however we need the end user to be able to duplicate the one activity they've chosen if th...

Re: Templates vs Fragments - Adobe LiveCycle

Hello SI_MSD7,Thank you for replying. It makes a lot of sense.

Templates vs Fragments - Adobe LiveCycle

Hello,We are currently in the process of converting all of our manual forms/documents into live interactive forms using LiveCycle designer however the question has been raised "How can we create components that are going to be the same across all documents and copied and pasted?" I suggested fragments however the debate is whether it would be best to use a 'template' that perhaps we've designed and use it for each form? I understand that Livecycle have inbuilt templates but we won't be using tho...

Re: How to create a dynamic button? - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi Niall,Thanks again for your help. That has helped a little.

Re: Is it possible to change the colour of the highlighted fields in a form? And if so how? - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi,What do you mean by travel? Is that when it wont change all settings across the board? e.g another staff member with adobe acrobat wont have the same settings as i do?I am the only one creating the forms and using any adobe settings anyway so i guess it wont really matter that they dont have the same settings as i do but its not hard to change them on all pc's anyway.Thanks though.
