The barcoded forms technology actually requires that you apply a Reader
Extensions license to each of the forms. If you do not, the barcode
placed on the form will disappear when the form is filled (on the
calculate event). Much like when you put too much data into a barcode.In
regards to the hand-held scanner, the 2D barcodes placed on forms are
standard barcodes. Do not use compression or XML and you'll be able to
scan them without issue. Tab delimited format without carriage returns
should wo...
All you'll need is Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES4 (11) which can be
purchased right from the Adobe online store here:
http://www.adobe.com/cart.html?marketSegment=COM&#addedSkus=65209045Keep
in mind that "LiveCycle" encompasses a full range of server-side
products and development tools including "Designer". Unfortunately it's
not included with Acrobat anymore but can be purchased alone.
You'll have to get this directly from Adobe. CC does not include
Designer as it's been removed from Acrobat. Ideally if you are licensed
already you'll be able to get access to the media via support.
Alternatively as I mentioned AEDP will give you access to older versions
of Workbench which include Designer.
If you really do need an older version of the software for a specific
reason, you can still join the AEDP program (The Adobe Enterprise
Developer Program - not to be confused with the short-lived ADEP
branding). You can find older versions of all the LiveCycle products as
well as other enterprise server products.

With ES2.5 / 3 because LiveCycle was heavily Flex dependant (via
Workspace) licenses were included but with ES4 there's no longer any
mention of Flex licenses. Definitely check in with your Adobe rep
though. That said, if you are on the latest version of LC then I'd move
over to the HTML5 based workspace and move away from the use of the
Flash-based workspace.
Hi, the original specifications from Symbol stated that you could hold
2710 characters. That said, this would be NO error correction and only
numeric values. So technically not viable.With proper sizing and error
correction you'll be looking at around 900 characters. My presentation
here is a little dated, but still valid if you'd like to find out more
about how storage works:

There are two reasons why a barcode would gray out. The first reason,
and the most important, is that the barcoded forms technology needs to
be licensed via Reader Extensions. If you try to fill in a form that
updates the barcode at runtime (during calculate and not initialize) and
it has not been Reader Extended properly, it will gray out.The second
reason is due to the fact that the barcode grays out automatically when
it is over capacity. Even if you have a small number of fields, on
average ...
One of the best practices in one of the deployment documents is to
ensure that your Applications don't have more than 50 assets within
them. More than that and they should be broken down into smaller
applications with an SOA infrastructure in mind. I've had customers
who've increased this amount for their own use slightly but always with
the goal of keeping close to the 50 range.
We already know that it's not on the support Matrix, the question was
around whether or not anyone had deployed under Hyper-V - [despite the
fact that's it's not officially supported].
Has anyone deployed LiveCycle ES3 or ES4 into a production environment
using Microsoft Hyper-V Server as their preferred virtualization
platform as opposed to the supported VM environment?
From what I understand, you would have to create some kind of proxy
yourself and then create this single proxy as your enterprise domain. As
you've experienced, adding two enterprise domain servers will basically
have LiveCycle create two separate repositories with duplicate users &
groups throughout the system.
The compatibility Matrix does cover the details you're looking here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/products/enterprise/knowledgecenter/softcomp2_0_1.pdf.
Virtualization is mentioned for some specific configurations.Be sure to
go into production with only supported configurations. Virtualized or
not, or you will be required to duplicate any issues you have in a
supported environment.
The barcode is actually a mechanism that is used to retrieve data from a
printed form. If you have your form inside Acrobat then you can simply
use the Tools, Forms, Data Export function to extract and then possibly
re-import the data from your form.If you do have a printed form that you
are scanning you will need to write the process that decodes and then
populates your form again from the extracted data.
The rendering of the modules and their size is actually controlled by
the barcode renderer. So, the sizing of the modules will grow when there
is less data and the barcode size allows. I don't believe you can access
any of the properties manually. The only items I know are exposed are
the error correction levels.
There have been some updates to LiveCycle since Gary's reply (2008).
Today you can use the process purge utilities. Here's the Tech Guide to
help you
out:http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/livecycle/pdfs/purging_processes_jobs.pdfLastly,
from the AdminUI you can search for processes and terminate them.
However, if you create transactions and then delete the processes, you
won't be able to clean them using the UI. You will have to purge the
data.
You can likely get past this problem by removing the service from your
windows service registry and rerunning the configuration manager.
Sometimes there's a disconnect between the service name and the manager
for some reason. Remove the service and start again. Use sc delete from
the command line with the full service name in quotes.Next, for your
exercise yoiu will need Reader Extensions and the sample cert that goes
along with it. You will need to extend the form before using it in the
free ad...
I'm still trying to find the docs on this topic but I have seen a number
of customers do a silent-installation of Workbench across all their
developer machines as part of a deployment script. So while not exactly
a helpful post, it is possible.(checking with a contact on how they did
this, when they respond, I'll repost).
The trick to resizing barcodes within Designer is actually to NOT use
the mouse to attempt to resize the barcode itself. Click on the barcode
object itself and then resize using the height and width properties of
the object. If you try to change the size using your mouse Designer
attempts to chose the "best" sizing.Keep in mind that QRCode will always
be square and PDF417 will always be rectangle (you can force it to be
square but there would be little to no data capture).
Hi Han, The "group" assignment won't work when you need specific items
tasks to be assigned to individuals. "Someone" in that group needs to
pickup the task, alternatively you can pick a random individual in the
group.What it sounds like you need to do is query your LDAP server for a
list of individuals in the group and then send task assignments to each
of them. Either all at the same time or one after the other.For the
handling of the data, it depends on what people are actually doing with
the...
The best option for this to be implemented is for you to create a route
within the current task that reroutes the current form and it's data
back to the group queue. It's a better way for you to track where the
form went and who made modifications to the data. It also allows users
to track exactly where the form is as apposed to with a single user in
their draft folder. I prefer this type of approach as you can create
separate timer events and notifications around the "draft" status.
There's no real way to export the image but for your website you can
properly format them for scanning depending on the location you want
users to go to by using some of the free tools out there such as
http://www.qrstuff.com/. Generate the barcode, right click the image,
and then use that image as a simple on your website.
Is the low-resolution printing occuring from Reader or the same Acrobat
version you're testing in? Take a look at the properties of the PDF
itself and be sure it's defaulting to high quality.In regards to
checking the value "unlike a 3of9", can you expand on that a little?
When you use Designer to add the barcode to the form you determine which
data is actually captured by the barcode itself. That said, you will
need to be sure the file is Reader Extended for the barcode to actually
work inside the free Adobe Reader. What are you trying to do /
accomplish? What's the workflow?
When you're decoding with the hand-held scanner, you'll need to ensure
that the decoder itself supports the scanning of extended characters AND
if it's a keyboard-wedge scanner, ensure that your keyboard is in French
or Canadian-French mode or the simulated typing won't happen.
I just want to put a little more detail into that last note I posted.
While the Flash inside PDF functionality is not being "pulled" which it
really sounds like at a high level when you go through the bulletin, it
is still

problem with this is that before, we were guaranteed that Flash was

I'd probably refrain from using any flash objects within PDF forms:
