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

Well yes, and I’ve been continuing to use Livecycle for a few years now. Here’s my problem though. My copy of Adobe Pro & Livecycle came bundled with Adobe Design & Web Premium CS6 which includes a lot of the Adobe graphics applications (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, etc) that I use on a daily basis. However, due to it being older software now, I often get graphics files that I cannot open because of versioning issues. I thought it would be a simple matter of installing the newer Creative Cl...

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

Thanks for that insight. So what then are small businesses who rely on XFA forms typically doing now? I‘m curious to know what the replacement is. We purchased Livecycle years ago for a fraction of what the cost is now for AEM Forms Designer. I’m happy to move on to the latest and greatest, but I have yet to figure out what that is.

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

charlesp65418926 I am in the same boat. I have been trying since Oct 1 to purchase a standalone copy of AEM Forms Designer. I have been pushed back and forth from Adobe to 4Point (their 3rd party retailer) more times that I can count. I sat on hold with Adobe one day for literally 2 HOURS and no one ever picked up the line. I finally got an email from Adobe yesterday telling me that they no longer sell single user licenses for AEM Forms Designer, and that my only option was to purchase a 10-pac...

Re: Switch statement default setting - Adobe LiveCycle

I've tried that, but it isn't working.My code is:switch (this.rawValue){//all the casesdefault: portal.presence = "visible"; break; }The "portal" text field is visible by default, but when you select one of the few options that has it set to hidden, it does disappear, but if you then go back and select any other option that does NOT have its presence specified, it doesn't become visible again. Am I missing anything?

Switch statement default setting - Adobe LiveCycle

I have a dropdown with a switch statement in the exit event with about 80 "cases". There are only 3 of them though that if they are selected, the presence of a text field needs to change to "hidden". Without having to put a "presence" statement on every single case, is there a more efficient way to change the presence of the text field if one of the 3 are selected, and then defaulting back to a "visible" presence if anything else is selected?Thanks!

Re: Dynamic Form is painfully slow to open and edit - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi Bruce. Yes, unfortunately, the patient did not make it! On my computer, it also still runs slowly. I can see a slight improvement, but I'm sure the users of the form will still not be satisfied with the delays.I think I would like to proceed with your suggestion of making the calls to the script with a calculate button. I will work on this over the next couple of days and see if I can get that to work. I think the users would be ok with the totals not updating immediately as long as they are ...

Re: Dynamic Form is painfully slow to open and edit - Adobe LiveCycle

Thanks Bruce! That actually fixes the issue and makes the form fully functional.I appreciate your help tremendously. Unfortunately, the only issue now is that the form just doesn't really seem any faster than before, once there is a lot of data entered. I am attaching the revised form, into which I have imported actual XML data from last month. If you check it out, you can see that when you add a line, it take several seconds, selecting a client name takes even longer, and tabbing to the quantit...

Re: Dynamic Form is painfully slow to open and edit - Adobe LiveCycle

Thank you! My console got turned off at some point and I never could figure out how to turn it back on! I figured it would be a simple error like that!I've updated that, and it's working better. But the problem I'm having now is that the repTotals aren't zeroing out if you change the selected client. For example, if you select any team at the top. Then select a client in the rep section, and put a number in one of the columns. That works...but if you go back and change the client to a different ...

Re: Dynamic Form is painfully slow to open and edit - Adobe LiveCycle

Bruce, thank you so much for your help. Your form worked great.I've updated the rep subform to include all the other columns going by your example, but for some reason, in MY form, my repTotals subform only calculates for the first client selected in the list. For example, in my form, if you select the first Team at the top (ACES/SGEMA/SHI/VECM), and then in the first rep subform, if you select any client other than the first one, the totals do not populate in the repTotals subform (although the...

Date/Time Calculations - Adobe LiveCycle

Date/Time Calculating in Livecycle is one skill that I have yet to master! I have developed a time sheet with punch in/out buttons, and I think the calculations are working correctly, but the trouble I am forseeing is that the calculations are based on times only, not on dates AND times. Consequently, if someone punches IN on Jan 1 2014 at 08:00AM and punches OUT at 09:00AM on Jan 2 2014, it calculates 1 hour, instead of correctly calculating 25 hours. This would, in essence, create a way for an...

How to ensure Digital Signatures are not faked? - Adobe LiveCycle

We are currently using some fairly archaic processes, whereby dynamic forms are completed digitally, printed, signed by hand, and then rescanned as static PDFs back onto our shared server. We are considering ways of streamlining this process, and one consideration is to use Digital Signatures. The one worry I have however is in how simple it appears to me to fake a digital signature of someone else. For example, a shared folder on the network contains PDF forms that must be approved by being sig...
