Well with Acrobat XI they replaced LiveCycle with FormsCentral, which used LiveCycle internally but ultimately produced AcroForms. After XI, they removed a form generation product altogether in Acrobat, suggesting SMBs use a third party product, or look at AEM Forms. AFAIK, there are no drop in replacements for the creation of XFA forms outside of AEM Designer.

Re: Where to purchase LiveCycle / AEM Forms Designer? altrue990 - Adobe LiveCycle

I have a theory that Adobe is actively discouraging the sales of this product because it perpetuates the use of the PDF 2.0 non compliant XFA format (You can technically make a standard PDF with LiveCycle / AEM Forms, but not easily). However, they are willing to keep it going for those who bought into it as part of the server suite of products. I can't explain their behavior any other way.

Re: XML Transformation using XSLT altrue990 - Adobe LiveCycle

The dyn is a vendor extension and only certain XSLT engines will support it. I'm not sure what engine the online transformation tool is using.

Re: XML Transformation using XSLT altrue990 - Adobe LiveCycle

Try dyn:evaluate()xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:dyn="http://exslt.org/dynamic" extension-element-prefixes="dyn">

Re: XML Transformation using XSLT altrue990 - Adobe LiveCycle

Yes, you can embed an XSLT into your XDP and have it run before the data is merged in the form. Keep in mind that Acrobat only supports XSLT 1.0, using a processor called Ginger Alliance.

Re: BUTTONs NOT working? altrue990 - Adobe LiveCycle

You can use a web debugger like Fiddler to intercept what is being sent to the server, assuming you are using HTTP submit.

Re: Convert Multiple XML Forms to PDF altrue990 - Adobe LiveCycle

You can use the approach you mentioned earlier, or consider AEM Forms, or a third party "flattener" tool that will convert the XFA form to a static document of record.

Re: Where to purchase LiveCycle / AEM Forms Designer? altrue990 - Adobe LiveCycle

I think it was removed because AEM Designer 6.5 is out. Someone needs to post the checkout link.Right now you can call Adobe. Call +1 (800) 685-3644, press 2, then 1, and ask about purchasing AEM Forms Designer standalone.

Re: Convert Multiple XML Forms to PDF altrue990 - Adobe LiveCycle

What do you mean by XML format? Do your forms need to be merged with data, or can they be printed as-is?

Wrap the text box in a subform and bind the subform to the ContentTypeCode. The SOM should look something like SecondPostalRegulationsCompliantAddressLine.[$.ContentTypeCode != "2"].

Re: LiveCycle vs Foxit? altrue990 - Adobe LiveCycle

It is untrue that Chrome doesn't support LiveCycle PDFs. What Chrome may not support is Dynamic PDFs. Chrome should be able to render static PDFs generated from LiveCycle, but keep in mind even more advanced features in LiveCycle, such as scripting, will likely not work in Chrome, as LiveCycle uses a different scripting model than AcroForms.

Re: Adobe Livecycle Designer submitting PDF and XML altrue990 - Adobe LiveCycle

If you have programming ability, the PDF contains the XML inside of it, it is just a matter of extracting it. You could also email the xdp, which includes the xml dataset and may also include the PDF as base64 binary.

Re: PDF file made by Adobe Livecycle Designer - how to edit? altrue990 - Adobe LiveCycle

What do you mean by dynamic? It has a very particular meaning in LiveCycle/XFA which is to grow or shrink the form based on data. Acrobat has no support for editing dynamic forms, as it can only edit AcroForms, which are static.

Re: PDF file made by Adobe Livecycle Designer - how to edit? altrue990 - Adobe LiveCycle

If your form is static XFA, you could try this: http://apps.practicalpdf.com/xfa2pdf/ You could then edit the form in regular Acrobat.

Create a Text object and click the highlighted button.

disable click altrue990 - Adobe LiveCycle

I have a button that should only be clicked once. Once it is clicked, it needs to be disabled (i.e. click event should not be fireable). I have JavaScript that I thought accomplished this:this.access = "readOnly"; But it appears this only disables the ability to "click" using the mouse. The button is still focusable and enter causes the click event to fire.

No changes need to be made. The XFA engine exists on all modern desktop versions of Adobe Acrobat/Reader.

Re: Can I reference data values of XML directly in a script or must I use a field on my form? altrue990 - Adobe LiveCycle

You are correct, the XML DOM is only accessible by binding form objects to it. You approach seems solid. It has been a long time since I've used prePrint events, but I remember them to be a bit unwieldy. If the data is static (i.e. it is part incoming XML rather than entered by the user on the form), then try to override the initialize event instead. It should accomplish the same effect.

Re: Undo altrue990 - Adobe LiveCycle

Undo is a little finicky in code windows. I recommend copy / pasting code blocks in notepad or similar so you can go back to old versions of code.

Re: Is it possible to make a submit form button only appear after the form is signed? altrue990 - Adobe LiveCycle

Can you sign and submit all at once? You can configure a single button to do both.

Re: Specify Signature Certificate altrue990 - Adobe LiveCycle

Does the .pc7 stay added? Sometimes LiveCycle Designer will uncheck things if it finds that the settings are incompatible. I'm thinking that it perhaps doesn't like something with the certificate.
