How to allow deselecting "multiple" radio buttons via a function - Adobe LiveCycle

I've used the following script on individual radio buttons to allow users to deselect an active group; however, I currently have a form with over 100 existing radio buttons that do not have the script added. Rather than manually add the script to each radio button individually, I was wondering if there's a way to create function of sorts that will allow global treatment. Script used on single radio button via click event// If Shift button is held while clicking radio button, clear selectionif (x...

Re: Portrait iOS photo rotates in image field - Adobe LiveCycle

I know this is a very late response to the original question, but hopefully this will help someone in the future....The issue you’re having is attributed to how Apple devices sets the photo's orientation, and it depends on how you hold the device. As long as you stay within the Apple ecosystem everything seem to works fine. However, when you navigate outside of the Apple ecosystem, the orientation of the device (when snapping a photo) becomes more important.Basically, the proper way to ensure yo...

Re: LiveCycle using PNGs - Adobe LiveCycle

I suspect there's something going on with the image itself. Have you checked to ensure the image is saved in RGB vs CMYK color mode? Does the image have a transparent background. Perhaps open in Photoshop, save as a new JPEG, and try re-inserting in LiveCycle Designer.

Numeric Floating fields adds unwanted space before & after value - Adobe LiveCycle

I'm having an issue with floating fields adding extra spaces before and after a currency value. The issue is that I need to show parenthesis before & after the currency so the extra spaces are problematic. I'm getting something like ( $95,000 ) instead of ($95,000). Or if I end a sentence with a currency floating field, I get a space just before the punctuation mark. So something like: "...the cost for the trip is $325.00 !")Is there a fix to this issue? It only happens with numeric-based floati...

Re: Flatten Dynamic pdf Files - Adobe LiveCycle

I've tested and found the "Microsoft Print to PDF" printer driver WILL allow you to print a "password-protected" XFA (Static or Dynamic) to pdf (effectively flattening the form) unlike the "Adobe PDF" printer driver.Hence, using the "Microsoft Print to PDF" printer driver is an alternate solution for printing protected forms to pdf.Using the "print as image" option as radzmar mentions is also option, but it noticeably decreases the quality (i.e. text becomes pixelated).Hope this helps someone in...

Hi,Provided your form is "dynamic" you can achieve by using: .setInstancesWhat i would recommend is having a single Row in your table and maybe change the name to something like "DataRow." That being said, based on your screen-shot, the structure would be:Table1HeaderRowDataRowFooterRowFor the DataRow, click the "Binding" tab and check the box "Repeat Row for Each Data Item". Check the "Min Count" box and set to whatever number of rows you always want to be visible (i.e. 11).Next, you'll need a ...

Reg expression for SSN and Tax ID - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi,I'm looking for a way to validate that a user has entered a value matching either XXX-XX-XXXX or XX-XXXXXXX format. Ideally, the field will only allow numeric and "-" characters to be entered, but if that's too difficult...I could live with it simply ensuring that either format was entered (perhaps on the Exit event).The script below seems to work HOWEVER it allows the user to enter the Tax ID with 8 digits following the "-" instead of a max of 7 digits. So basically, it accepts XX-XXXXXXX (9...

Re: Instances of Table aren't shown after saving - Adobe LiveCycle

No problem....when you get a chance...perhaps create a "new" document with the target version set to 9.1 or higher from the start. Then copy and paste the table into the new version and test. Also make sure "Script-based state changes..." are set to Automatically as discussed above. Things like this can be frustrating...but there's no reason why it shouldn't work if your doc, content, and scripts are setup correctly.

Re: Instances of Table aren't shown after saving - Adobe LiveCycle

I know this is a late reply, but I would recommend saving your target version to 9.1 or greater. Looking at your screen-shot for the "Defaults" section, the "Choose Target version" is set to 9.0 or later. Unless you have reasons or a need to save at that version, I would highly recommend bumping up to 9.1 or later as there have been bugs associated in 9.0.Also, the part that ahlaj77 mentioned is often the reason why added subforms would disappearing after saving, closing, and re-opening the form...

Image field rotation issue associated with images imported from iOS devices - Adobe LiveCycle

I currently have My Photo Stream activated on my iOS device so that anytime a photo is taken it's automatically saved to the Photo Stream album within iOS which also syncs with the iCloud for Windows desktop app. The idea is that I would take a photo on my iPad and have it show up in the synced folder in Windows (e.g. iCloud Photos), then using a PDF form with an image field (via Windows), I'd select an image from the iCloud Photo folder to embed into the form.All works well, but I noticed each ...

That makes perfect sense. It form is alerting you of the error since you can't divide by 0 (or whatever the issue is...mathematically.)If you are using FormCalc vs Javascript, try the following in the PresentValue field...NOTE: You may need to adjust depending on the path of your fields (i.e. if they are wrapped in subforms).if (InterestRate > 0)then$ = (PaymentAmount * InterestRate) / (PaymentsPerPeriod * TotalPayments)else$ = ""end if(YOU CAN use InterestRate != 0 instead of "> 0" if desired)/...

Re: Shrink-to-fit text default font size - Adobe LiveCycle

Use a multi-line text field (allowing Multiple lines) and set the field value to "0". You wont be able to control the starting font size, but the text will shrink when it reaches the end of the field (similar to AcroForms when the font size is set to Auto).Note: I believe this requires saving as a Dynamic form vs Static.

Typically this means there's something in your calculation that causing the overflow and may happen until you (or the user) enter data that doesn't cause an overflow. Is the calc dependent on two or more separate values that must be present in order to get a valid result?Depending on what the calculation takes place (i.e. on Exit event) you might be able to modify the script to something like:if ( $ > 0) //only perform calc if entered value is gretare than zerothenperform calc script //place you...

Re: Remove a subform permanently using javascript - Adobe LiveCycle

Hello -The reason you are getting the error is because the system is also validating the "hidden" group (Foreign) even though it's hidden. Same thing would happen if Foreign is visible and all fields are completed, but the Domestic group is hidden. It will still attempt to validate the Domestic fields unless you wrote a script to "exclude" them.One way to resolve the issue is by setting up the groups as "instances" and then add & remove the instances via the radio button. So initially, both inst...

For example, Designer ES2 had several standalone service pack updates (fro Designer), but it seems Adobe no longer releases such updates despite Designer ES4 being the latest version.If you're saying AEM Forms Designer "supersedes" Designer ES4, and that it can be installed as a "standalon...
