Recognize end-user hitting escape key? - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi all - Created a toggle button to enter/exit out of full screen.But if the end-user hits the "esc" key to exit full screen, the click event of the toggle button obviously doesn't fire.Using:if (app.fullscreen == false)....in the layout ready event will work to identify if we are not in full screen and, if we are not in full screen, run the code to switch the button's caption and tool-tip values to their correct values.But that only happens when the layout ready event fires.Anyway to determine ...

Re: Opening XFA dynamix form in somethign other then adobe reader - Adobe LiveCycle

Hey Radz and all:Did you ever get a response/find a solution regarding the custom _pagezerocontent disappearing from an XFA-based PDF once it was reader extended?Been messing around all day with it and not having any luck.Tried updating LC to Service Pack one - which does allow for the _pagezerocontent - but once reader extended, we're back to the "Please Wait..."Ugh. Thought I was rid of that damn confusing default language.B

Re: Hiding contents of PDF based on NON-existence of a password? - Adobe LiveCycle

Si - Forgot the story. It's a cautionary tale regarding quotation marks.The value field for the custom properties is just a small field where you place the loooooooooooooooooooong string of code --- so you can't see all the code at once.I was running AEM inside a virtual windows 7 machine on a MAC and using the Mac TextEdit to try and write the code.The quotes (" ") in Mac's TextEdit weren't translating over in AEM as quotes. That's why the code kept busting. Ugh... lesson learned. And a big FYI...

Re: Hiding contents of PDF based on NON-existence of a password? - Adobe LiveCycle

Hey SI -More success. A question and then a kinda-funny story regarding what my issue above was with the code.The question:1.) Does AEM not truly "save" the custom property? I noticed that if you: a) Dropped code into the value. b) Saved the file (I'll call it "TestPageZero.pdf" c) Closed TestPageZero in AEM. d) Opened TestPageZero with a non-Adobe PDF application. (Confirm it works.) e) Re-open Test Page Zero in AEM.The custom property we created is deleted.Now, if you just just CLOSE the file ...

Re: Hiding contents of PDF based on NON-existence of a password? - Adobe LiveCycle

Thanks, Radz. Gut instinct was telling me I was reaching on that one...Did some testing using Acrobat to put a password on a PDF vs the LCD password feature. Either way, even using Acrobat's 256 AES, those free sites strip the passwords. Grrrr. Or am I missing something?Side note - or question, rather on the "Please Wait..." shell message: any way to change the text of it?Would be nice to tell people from the start: "Woops! Wrong PDF application. Please use Acrobat or Acrobat Reader to open this...

Re: Hiding contents of PDF based on NON-existence of a password? - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi SI:Thanks for the post. Sometimes it's just good to bounce ideas, ya know? The goal is to prevent the dynamic form from being modified.Thanks to Radzmar, his code can be used to essentially disable the form in Reader/Acrobat if the LCD created password has been stripped. (Technically, it "opens" but then it immediately closes itself again. Whole thing happens pretty quickly. Radz rules.) But the javascript is written for Reader/Acrobat. Livecycle will still open it.I'm wondering if a line(s) ...

Re: Hiding contents of PDF based on NON-existence of a password? - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi Radz - Thanks again for the response. Have more than a sec to write this time so following up.Your code works great. Placed in the right location, and if javascript is not disabled, the PDF will open and then close again if no password is in place.Is there any way to programmatically do the same but in LCD? So If no password on the document, not even Livecycle will open it? Know it sounds like a stretch - using LCD to write code so LCD won't open it if there's no password on it the next time ...

Hiding contents of PDF based on NON-existence of a password? - Adobe LiveCycle

(repost from different group)Hi all - I'd like to use javascript to "hide" my Livecycle Designer form on open if a password for the pdf is NOT present. (If someone strips the password, at least I can make it more annoying for them.)I understand that if javascript is not enabled on the end-user side, the PDF will still be visible. But that's ok. The PDF is javascript heavy and only useable if javascript is active.I've had some success, I think (lol), with "securityHandler". If I add a password in...

Re: Use xfa.host.beep to trigger two consecutive beeps? - Adobe LiveCycle

Bruce -Thanks for the great response; works perfectly.As a follow-up, could xfa.host.beep(1) be placed within the code for a custom dialog? So rather than calling the beep first, then triggering the dialog box, just place xfa.host.beep(1) within the dialog code so when the dialog box appears, the beep is triggered? I've tried placing it in various locations within a dialog's code without out success.Thanks much again.B

Copy that and thanks.And I thought the width and height elements of a static text object HAD to be defined for it to exist?In my case, some static text objects are multiple lines. Rather than use separate static text elements (spacing between the elements is too large) I was using \n to force another line. Doing this, however, forced me to define (and increase) the height of the element so both lines are visible.Would you recommend something different?I experimented with "multiline: true" but al...

Hi George:Just checking to see if you had any luck with those dialog box images being pixelated in DC and any possible work around.Had a thought about it, too. If you look at those images from my other post (Acrobat Reader DC - Bug with Dialog Boxes Containing Images?), the entire dialog box itself seems to be larger in length/width in DC. Could DC be increasing the scale the entire dialog box somehow? I also noticed that the height of static text lines sometimes needs to be adjusted for DC. For...
