Re: Flowing columns of different sizes to new page - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi Niall,I did have a look at it and I can't seem to get it right. Do you understand my requirement for having two unequally long columns and that I need them to be paginated to the next page?It should look like this if both columns will paginate: Currently this is done in Jetform, so I guess it must be possible somehow in Livecycle ES also, I just can't get it to do what I need. I hope you have some pointers on were to look SincerelyKim Christensen

Flowing columns of different sizes to new page - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi all,I have a quick question regarding columns in Livecycle Designer, I have an scenario where I have two columns that will get filled with data (rows of repeating elements from XML).The two columns are independent and they are NOT equally high. The left column is shorter than the right one.So the issue is that I need these two columns to flow to a new page. If the left column (which is shorter) is filled up first it should overflow to the next page and show an empty right column. Vice versa i...

Getting value of a variable in another script object - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi all,I have a scenario where I have one script object (MyTexts1) containing a lot of text for the form (each of the texts are stored in variables (fx. MyTexts1.infoText1). The variables are named after the fields (meaning that I have a field called "infoText1"). So for each field I call a function that takes the name of the field. This function (located in my script object called "functions") should somehow then find the value of the variable in "MyTexts.infoText1".Now my question is:How can I...

Invoking a LiveCycle process with multiple input variables using REST - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi all,A simple scenario brushup:I have an LC process that takes as input 2 parameters:- formID- formXMLThe user starts out with an empty interactive form and fills out some info in this form. In the end he/she clicks submit and now I want to invoke my process to create a flattened form from the XML just entered in the interactive form.The process returns a flattened form with the data merged with the XDP template referenced in formID. Simple as that.What I basically need is to do something simi...

Re: Trusted functions in Reader through browser plugin - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi again dohanlon,You were right, something in my script on the form was not executed correctly - seems like the util.stringFromStream does not work in the form if you run it in the plugin. I changed my code into usinsg the stringforStream method in my trusted function and then it suddenly worked.Thanks a lot for your help btw - it led me into understanding that it was possible to use the trusted functions inside the belly of the browser plugin also\Kim

And what do I need to take into consideration to make it work through the browser plugin?Please don't hesitate to ask if you need further information.Th...

Create a PDF with DDX that can be converted to PCL by generatePrintedOutput - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi all,I have a scenario that puzzles me a bit.I have some forms that are Interactive forms (stored as XDP with the property Dynamic XML Form).I need to assemble these xdp-forms (and fill them with data) and add it all up in one PDF. This PDf should be converted to PCL and later shipped off to a printer. However I see a conflict in doing this by using the Invoke DDX and generatePrintedOutput services.I can easily create my PDF, but to make it work I have to include the tag in my DDX. However wh...

Re: Log entries from ExecuteScript service - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi again,Found the answer myself 🙂To do this, you must setup your Weblogic server to redirect stdout to the server log. This is done in the adminserver console under Server - Logging - Advanced - "Redirect stdout to server log".Hope this helps somebody out thereHave a good one all of you SincerelyKim ChristensenDafolo A/SDenmark

Re: Custom Service Component to setup LOG4J logger - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi again Nith,This was my initial thought as well, but the customer want the individual processes to log to individual files that rolls every day. Hence I am not sure I can use the AdobeLogger?The code you show here should be placed in a executeScript service right? And then it will log to the managed server log (I am on WebLogic 11g) i guess.Is my initial question/scenario impossible to achieve or is it just difficult?\Kim

Re: Variable containing a list of lists - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi again Vik, Thank you so much for your sample.It works perfectly – however it is not exactly what I was looking for. Let me try to describe the scenario: I have a form with (or without) a schema (I don’t think that it matters that much with the schema). The form needs to be filled through a web service call with the structure that contains the children inside numerous childGroups (like the one you sent me). So when the form opens it reads the social security number and fetches the kids of this...
