is there a "Formula Editor" for Form users - Adobe LiveCycle

TWO issues:1)Creating a form in LCD ES. Have an Image field so users can right-click, select image (of an equation) and insert into form.Now I am asked if the Form created by LCD will allow for end users to Edit their inserted equation formulas.I am inclined to answer: NO.But before I can do that, I have to know for sure. Can someone confirm either way?thanks----------2)Also, once an image in inserted, what is the trick to allow for it to be removed?Thanks!Marla

Hi Niall!Nollaig shona duit agus Athbhliain faoi mhaise duit!!Thanks for the quick answer. I will try this out right away and let you know how I make out with it. This could raise the level of our LCD forms to a new height! And make MORE work for us Slán -Marla

Can both text and an image be inserted into an expandable text field? - Adobe LiveCycle

A user wants to be able to add equations and text into an expandable text field within a table in a dynamic pdf which was created with Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.2.He also would like to be able to insert screen shot images into the same field.We don't think this is possible, since the various fields allow for different types of input. But we are being pressed to do this. I am looking for a way to do it, or a definitive answer that it cannot be done with Adobe LiveCycle Designer.And of course, if...

Re: why so difficult to mix portrait/landscape pp? - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi Radzmar,so far things are looking good.A question: the Portrait page layout in your form has a Height of 11.192 (inches - I had to convert it from cm). It's very long. How do I change the height of the page, not the content area, but the actual page itself?This could be another useful tool to know.Thanks!Marla

Re: why so difficult to mix portrait/landscape pp? - Adobe LiveCycle

why so difficult to mix portrait/landscape pp? - Adobe LiveCycle

I have to make a form.First page has to be portrait, and contain specific info - Master Page 1.Next 2 pages are also portrait but will have different information, use a different Master page, MP 2.Next page (or pages if there is a lot of input) is Landscaped. DIFFERENT Master page. MP 3.the ALWAYS final page is a separate master page with content that is set ONLY to occur that one time, last page. Not worried about that.So what is the best way to make this - create MPs and apply them? tried that...

Re: Multiple Master Pages - how to apply to forms? - Adobe LiveCycle

HI Niall,I'm glad to have found this thread as I have some forms which need 3 Master pages and something is wrong but I can't figure it out.The 1st Master Page is portrait and will be used for the first two pages of content.The 2nd Master Page is landscaped and will be used for the third page (or more) content.The 3rd Master page has 'fixed' Revision History content and just is what it is, and is ALWAYs last on every form we do.So I was able to get the first two content pages on the first Master...

set custom paragraph indents..etc....? - Adobe LiveCycle

Hello,I like to have 0.05 indents on left / right in all my text fields. Other than copy / pasting every single one, is there a way to set it (LCD ES 8.2) up so that the paragraph section will always be the way I want it to be?If so, are there other time-saving hints that might not be obvious to us?Thanks a million!Marla

Want to have image of signature appear when password is entered. - Adobe LiveCycle

Hello all -I don't know if this is possible or not. I am reading everything I can get my eyes on but not finding what I would like.Scenario:Request form is created in LCD 8.2 ES. The purpose is to track time extensions requested for documents that have gone past their 'due dates.'As it works right now:1) Requester fills out form using Adobe Reader and prints it out, gets it to the first department head (A). 2) Department Head A must print his/her name, then sign and date the form.Form gets to De...

Re: Reader can't sign pdf signature field - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi Steve,could that signature be a safe, secured, digital signature or does it need a certificate?Would I need to set up this digital signature in some way?

For Digital Signature Certification do I need - - Adobe LiveCycle

to have a third-party of some kind?For example, we use LCD to create forms which users here fill out. Right now, they can fill out and save forms but must print them out in order to "officially" sign the form. At work we have, within Livelink, the ability to e-sign, digitally.Is there a way I can use the function of Livelink to esign, digitally, officially, a dynamic pdf made with Livecycle Designer?Thank you!MARLA

any way to have the current date pop up? - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi -I have a request form to create. Pretty simple actually.Halfway down the form I hve to put the following, where [ ] represents data input by user."This document has been open for [ ] days as of [ ]."We want the user to type in a number from [1] to [99] (days open) and have the 'as of' [ ] be 'today's date' which would actually be the date of the filling out of this form.So I created a table with 4 columns but it's not working right.Any ideas?The only other major item is an expandable comment...

Upon opening in Acrobat, I see 2 'remove row' buttons - Adobe LiveCycle

PROBLEM:I have an 'Add Row' button and there should be only one 'remove row' button at the bottom of the table.However, upon opening the LCD dynamic form in Acrobat, there are always 2 Remove Row buttons. I can click on one and then I have what I want.BACKGROUND:I apply the permissions for saving and so on in Acrobat after removing the extra button, but when the .pdf is opened later, there are the two buttons again.One thing I found in 1 of the misbehaving forms is some traverse/traversal lines ...

Re: Custom Tab order - Whence the M with green bg? - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi Niall!Thanks!I was afraid of that. We had 10 forms which were distributed to 3 differentpeople. The Owner, for whom we were making the forms, wants them all to haveexactly the same functionally and look, which is tricky when 3 people aredoing the work at the same time. I'm now responsible for all 10 of them andam meeting via Webex in 30 minutes with the Owner.But how do the tabs get the Green circles? It didn't start out like that. Iguess it's one of life's little mysteries, eh?Well, I had be...

Custom Tab order - Whence the M with green bg? - Adobe LiveCycle

This stops me from being able to arrange the tabs properly. There is no reason that I can see that causes this to happen, yet it does, and unexpectedly.The screenshot below shows tabs along the right side of my form, page 2. How did 12 become fixed? It is not part of the Master page. I can't make this work. NOTHING addresses it, no books or documents, and I haven't found an answer on the forums. I can't do Automatic tab order for other reasons. Anyone have this problem? Any solutions? I'm pullin...

Page x of y doesn't work when using 2 Master Pages. - Adobe LiveCycle

Hello,I have a form in which the first 6 pages are landscape format (Master Page) and the final page is Portrait (master page).The first 6 pages are numbered 1 of 6, 2 of 6, and so on. Then when we get to the portrait MP, it is numbered 0 of 6!I have determined this is happening because the numbers are not following from one MP to the other.I've been looking for clues in the XML side, in the various pallettes, and so on, but to no avail.Is there some way to fix this so all pages are properly and...

Tab order - tabbing moves across pages! - Adobe LiveCycle

The tab order is set for every page. Looks great!However - when I test in either the Preview PDF or by opening in Reader, tabs work for a while, then one will skip to a later page, follow ok, then skip to somewhere else, even missing some text fields altogether.Also, some of the footer objects are tabbed and highlighted. If the user isn't paying attention and just tabbing along and typing in, the footer will actually be deleted!I have read a little about the Traversal in xml page, but is that al...

in Tab order, I have a comment field showing up as Master - Adobe LiveCycle

I am fixing the tabbing order in my multi-page dynamic Livecycle Designer form. On page 3, there is a comments field (there are about 15 instances of this field on the form). It shouldn't, but it does show up as M(aster) and I cannot move it up to where it should be in the order. I've been able to move everything properly except for this one instance. It is not different from any other comments field.Has anyone seen this? Is there something I can do to fix it?Thanks!Slán!Marla

Good Morning Niall,I'm sorry, I cannot share the form because it is a company-proprietary form.Can you tell me if there is a method for adding and removing a section that I could use to add and remove this 3-rowed table section?Although, I was able to adapt the script to make the 3 rows add to the end of the table, I can't seem to adapt the script to remove them.
