Re: Using Designer for documents, not forms - Adobe LiveCycle 17-02-2010
Ok, will try tomorrow. The files are on another computer, and I am going home. I have a feeling like it's just a bug, and that there's nothing about the data itself that would effect the non-existence of an options editor.

Yes. All clicking on 'Object Editor' does is put a checkmark next to the words in the menu. But otherwise nothing.

Hmm. I think my problem is that I don't have that View. When I choose 'View ->Object Editor', nothing changes.

Re: Using Designer for documents, not forms - Adobe LiveCycle 17-02-2010
@Paul - That much is obvious... but I already have a data connection, generated from sample XML. And it's not showing any binding options.@Iakov - Likewise, I see they are doing what I want, but I guess I'm just not seeing how. If I click on 'amount', there is nothing in any menu that suggests that it's bound to a specific XML field somewhere.

Re: Using Designer for documents, not forms - Adobe LiveCycle 16-02-2010
Thanks Paul,that exactly what I want...but when I add the floating field, and rename it, and right-click on it, there are no binding options in the menu.I see a binding tab at the bottom, but that has no options either.There is a warning sign near my floating field "Using 'Use Name' data binding when a default data connection is defined may produce undesirable results."I am also wondering how would I test this with incoming XML? Regards,Daniel

Re: Using Designer for documents, not forms - Adobe LiveCycle 16-02-2010
What I want is a program that takes XML or a DB table, extracts meaningful data, and places the data in the right place in a document.It is a common feature of DOCCM (Document Output For Customer Communications Management) - Adobe appeared on the list in the Forrester Report, and I was taking a look at LiveCycle for this purpose.But as far as I can tell, it just isn't meant for this at all. When you drag and drop the mapped XML elements, it creates a form textfield.I don't want a form - I want a...

Using Designer for documents, not forms - Adobe LiveCycle 15-02-2010
Hi,I am just checking out if you can use Adobe Designer to design documents.It seems I can import my sample XML file, and then create a form field from one of the elements.But how would I just get the value of that field?For example, if my XML contains:BobI want:Dear Mr. ${customer.name}Not a form element, like "Name: BLANK."Is this possible?ThanksDaniel

Microsoft xmlns messes up conversion - Adobe LiveCycle 22-12-2009
Hi there,Emails written with Microsoft Word 11 or 12 have a lot of xmlns info.I have added the table into the HTML after the body tag, and though the HTML shows up ok in a browser, it does not convert properly for the PDF. In fact, it loses its table structure. If I delete the XMLNS info, it shows up. Why does this happen? Thanks,DanielFrom:test@test.comTo:test@test.comSent:April 1 07:53 AMSubject:testThe microsoft stuff:

HTML to PDF <pre> tag not converting well - Adobe LiveCycle 18-12-2009
Hi,I am converting emails to PDF. Sometimes it comes in as text, and i need to convert to HTML first.So to avoid losing the formatting,I surround it with .But that means if they didn’t have word-wrap on when they wrote the email, it will be one long line, causing the font to scale down, sometimes to size 1 or 2.I've tried a lot of HTML that adds wordwrapping as a style, and it works for web browsers, but it either gets cut off or the text shrinks. It seems to be an Adobe bug, because no amount o...
