Hi Mayank, When you mention the need for a server, do you mean an AEM
server? Or, would I be able to use my shared hosting (Windows) server
hosted at GoDaddy to set up previewing of HTML forms?
I have AEM Forms Designer 6.4 standalone application installed on my
Windows 10 computer. Since there is no server, can I configure server
settings options to preview a form in a browser on my computer? Is this
possible? Or do I need to have an available server set-up to preview a
form as HTML? Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks, Sid, for this explanation. Further about it here: Re: How do I
open a pdf in iOS 8.4? I keep getting a message saying get the latest
version of Adobe. I just got the app.…So, for now, it looks like I won't
be able to get my dynamic PDF forms viewed/completed in mobile browsers.
Although I have checked fast web view in an ES4 Designer (dynamic PDF)
form, when I upload to my server and view in FF or Chrome using an
Android device, it does not display online (see below: works OK when
using a Windows desktop).It asks to download the PDF form and tries to
open it in latest Acrobat Reader DC, but then shows an error when trying
to open and view: "Please wait...If this message is not eventually
replaced by the proper contents..."I also used Google Drive to download

Hi,While I posted a new discussion about Designer 10 (just upgraded from
Designer ES2), in the Adobe ADEP forum, I am adding the link here in the
hope that it may create additional discussion and solutions. The issue
probably revolves around how to correctly set up and use certificates
for XML form data encryption/decryption.Here's the link:

Thanks again, Srini.The hierarchy renaming is much better. I suspect
that it is very important to build a form like this on a "solid
foundation" using correct hierarchy and naming.Regards,saratogacoach
Hi Srini,Tried these suggestions, but still does not work. I must still
be doing something wrong.I am posting the sample form at:
www.elearningprojects.com/sampleform1.pdfIf possible, please take a look
and suggest a way to get it working.Thank you for your
help.saratogacoach
Hi Srini,Thank you for your reply and suggestions. Unfortunately, as a
beginner, I'm not sure where to even place the script: change event for
TextField1 on page1, or a different event on a different page? A sample
would be to script so that user enetered first name in TextField1 on
page 1 populates TextField2 on page 2.Not sure how to do
this.Regards,saratogacoach
Hi,For a complex form project, I am first trying to create a basic
"proof of concept" form: in the complex project, the user will enter
data in several TextFields and depending on what is entered, this will
make visible further TextFields to be completed or TextFields which will
need to be populated with the data that the user enters.But as a novice
using Designer ES2, I need to see if I can first create some basic
functionality in a "proof of concept" form. First: to be able to set up

Hi Paul,Thank you for the sample, whcih clarifies some issues.The
function and its formula is applied to 4 scores (totalscore5-8) from a
survey. Then, after further processing, the Dprime1 and Dprime2 are
hopefully returned.When I try the new version, I am getting NaN as a
return, when the return (based on my using hard-coded data for the
testing) should be a number like 2.7564.So, something is not yet working
in the use of the function. But, I'll 'play around' with the script, see
if I can get ...

Thanks, Niall.I can now get this working using my URL. Tested and it
works.Fantastic!I also am studying my mistakes so I can learn from
these.Much thanks!Kind Regards,saratogacoach
Hi Niall,Yes, your form works perfectly. On my site, it displays
properly. Downloaded to my desktop, it shows the warning.So, I tried to
use the script in my form's Form1 docready, but without success.I am
posting a draft version of the form
at:http://www.eLearningprojects.com/SRQ70.pdfif you would like to take a
look in Designer. I suspect another pair of eyes make spot the mistake
(s) that I keep overlooking.Thanks for your help.Kind Regards,
Hi Niall,Thanks for your help.When I used a basic test form, the entire
JS and rectangle did work successfully: covered on the desktop
(rectangle covered form contents) and displayed properly online (have
not been testing a an eLearning module; just using my website;but this
is OK since the eLearning module will likely only use a button to launch
the PDF in a separate window;so this replicates that experience).So, the
problem seems to be in my adding the script tothe more complex,
multi-page act...
Hi Niall,Interestingly, when I tried to use the same JS in the actual
form (not a cut-down test form), I could not get it to work.The actual
form is 5 pages, each with a subform. Placing a rectangle over each
page, plus writing the JS in the docready for either the page or
subform1, did not work the same as when used in the test form.Ugh! Not
sure what to try next.Kind Regards,saratogacoach
OK, Niall.If you think of the way to script this, please let me know. So
far, the covering rectangle is a good workaround.I had re-thought using
the eLearning software for creating this quiz form, but the security in
Designer/Acrobat is important since the data collected is
health-sensitive and needs to be kept private. Using password encryption
achieves this at atleast AES 128 bit (seems in Designer 128 is max
whereas in regular Acrobat Pro 9, it's 256? 128 is OK.)Kind

Hi Niall,My quote for the day: "never say never."I kept at it trying to
get the covering rectangle, that you suggested, to work and finally did
as long as the 'display in browser' view is enabled for the PDF.I think
the difficulty with not using the 'display in browser' option is that
the PDF gets downloaded into a cache on the user's computer and then
displayed in the desktop's Reader. The cache's file path will be
different from website's PDF URL path that is hardcoded into the JS, so
the chec...
Hi Niall,Tried and tried for hours to get this working, rectangle as
well. No joy.Since I can accomplish this using a "referrer" script first
shown at the beginning of this post above (using JS in the HTML page), I
think I will need to use a form generated in HTML (I have a program that
can do this). Then I can simply add a little JS to that web page, and
deter unauthorized use.Thank you for all of your help.Kind
Regards,saratogacoach
Oops,I had only tried the PDF form on the desktop, where this script
worked. When I tried it on my web site, either viewing using the web
page embedded Reader or the desktop Reader, it did not close if the URL
string was incorrect. The alert warning displayed, but the PDF stayed
open.Since "Close" did not work on the site, not sure if there is any
other command that can close the PDF if the URL string is incorrect.
Kind Regards,saratogacoach
Hi Niall,This seems promising, but I can't figure out how to add the JS
to try it. I opened the Designer authored form in Acrobat Pro 9 and the
"Document JavaScripts menu" was grayed out and not available.
Unfortunately, I'm not very skilled at this, so can't figure out how to
add and test it.Any suggestions appreciated.Kind Regards,saratogacoach
Hi,Thank you for your reply. Yes, unfortunately DRM solutions are cost
prohibitive for small eLearning developers like me who primarily give
the materials away free as a community service. Restricting copying or
unauthorized use for these health-related eLearning materials is mainly
to protect people from using them without sufficient informing of
cautions for their use.I wonder if there is a way to use the JS
document.referrer in a PDF to check if the referring web page (in this
case the eLearn...
Hi,Trying to solve the perennial problem for small developers, in my

a Designer form, password protect/encrypt its PDF version, in order to
