Hi Vetrikam, have you been able to solve this in the meantime? I'm
currently running into the same issue and haven't got any idea how to
solve this ... KR Steffen.
Yes Nith, you are correct - we want the initiator to see the
attachments, and because of that, this would probably need to be done
either in the prepare data or the render process. Since it's a Flex
based form, PDF attachments are not an alternative, either.If I try to
invoke a component based function which adds the attachments inside the
prepare data process I'm not getting any error. Still, they are not
visible in the workspace. However, if the initiator manually adds an
attachment himself, t...
Hello everybody,I'm having a problem with an advanced workflow
application and I guess I'm stuck What I want to achieve is to have a
set of initial task attachments that get automatically attached to an
initial task. This means that I want to have one or two documents
attached to the endpoint task without user interaction - when a user
invokes the workflow they should already be there by default.I have
tried to do this using the TaskManager's API functions (like
copyAttachmentsToTask etc.) in a ...
Hi everybody,we're having a problem with a customer scenario that we
can't seem to sort out: We are implementing a complex user-centric
workflow (products: Forms, Reader Extensions, Output, Process
Management). For reporting purposes, the customer needs a flat PDF copy
of every PDF form that any user submits during the workflow.The logical
idea seems to be to convert every submitted PDF to PDF/A, which would be
nice for archiving purposes as well. However, it seems like that some
state informati...
Hi Steve,1st of all, thank you for your reply.In my scenario, I'd like
to populate a grid with user names, id's and some additional
information. When a user clicks on an entry (or row), I'd like to use
data from the respective record (let's say the user's id) for subsequent
operations, like calling a web service requiring a user id as the input
parameter.I seem to be able to populate a list (by calling an LC
component returning an ArrayList of objects, even not knowing if this is
the correct app...
Hello all,I'd like to ask a question about form guides: What I would
like to do is to populate a collection of items on the server side and
to display those items in a grid control (or similar) in a form guide.
After displaying, the user should be able to select one of the items by
clicking on the respective row.Is this possible at all, and if so,
how?Thank you all,Steffen.
Yes I do, but I have an "educated guess" what might be causing this.The
LC server is running on Solaris. From time to time, there's the need to
run some program which is using a GUI (like configManager for example).
To be able to do this, the DISPLAY env variable needs to be set if one
wants to see the respective windows etc.It seems like whenever this
variable is not empty, the issue occurs. I cannot confirm this 100%, but
at least this seems to make some sense.Steffen.
Since you mentioned AWS_ACTION etc. in your post I thought I should
provide some info ... but maybe that was a misunderstanding.For the
other two, I can only suspect that those are not at all relevant for the
*form* itself. I guess they are just meant to be containers for values
that the Workspace app uses to store values in (user abc has just
submitted data, dear server - deal with it ). The data is then used to
fill all the structures and values that you can use in your server side
submit serv...
Hi Nith,as far as AWS_ACTION is concerned - I think this is a dropdown
list which contains a list of all the options the respective user should
have when it comes to submitting the form. The list is populated at
runtime from a comma-separated list which is stored on the server in one
of the other process fields (there's a script that populates the list in
the form). For every item, the Workspace app generates a button for the
user to click on.Regarding AWS_ASSIGNED_ID, I think this contains the
...
Hi Nith,what does that "binary" stuff look like? If it's a Base64-like
string, you could create a document variable by decoding it, then have a
look if it's actually XML. If not, it may be a PDF, which you could
extract XML data from by using the FormAugmenter service.Steffen.
Hi Steve,the WebService is ok, I have repeatedly tested it, even using
the GUI version of SOAPUI.The strange thing is that the call also
actually seems to work from the production server, but it is giving a
lot of those described exceptions. This, in turn, triggers the automatic
alarms infrastructure which reports that LiveCycle is causing a lot of
exceptions. The description "cannot load icon", also seems to be pretty
irrelevant since there is no GUI at all. That's why I thought it could
maybe ...
Hi Steve,thanks for your quick reply.The issue occurs at runtime. The
respective server is a production machine which cannot be accessed using
Workbench.Steffen.
Hi John,as it turned out, there is a setting in IE where you can
enable/disable ActiveX plugins. I do NOT refer to the overall ActiveX
settings, but the "Manage AddOns" option in the settings dialog. There,
each specific addon can be disabled/enabled separately. With some
versions of Reader 9 there seemed to be a problem that (for unknown
reasons) the Reader plugin was in a disabled state. Maybe you can check
that?Regards,Steffen.
Hello,recently, we have been running into a strange issue using the
webservice component. The server is based on a JBoss instance, running
on a Soalris system (LCES).Each call to a web service gives numerous
error messages like:2010-07-13 08:56:34,690 ERROR [STDERR] Failed to
create icon: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundErrorI'd like to know what
circumstances could trigger a message like that, and if there are
settings (JRE?) that could affect this, especially since this is a
completely non-interactiv...
Hi Jayan,there are > 90 completed process instances, and it would be OK
to purge them.Do you imply that if the Adobe purge utility is used to
purge completed instances that the files would disappear?Thank
you,Steffen.
Hello,while analyzing a customer installation of LiveCycle ES (8.2,
JBoss, Solaris, Oracle DB) we have found out that this installation's
GDS folder is continually increasing in size. This seems strange since
there is only one long-lived service and some short-lived ones.
Currently, there is NO active instance of any service and still no file
is getting deleted.When looking into one of the subfolders (docm*) there
are a lot of files accompanied by additional files with a
".sessionWorkspace_TempD...
Hello everybody,after using PDFG and implementing it for customers for
quite some time, I have just noticed that PDFG doesn't seem to be able
to convert hyperlinks in a Word document when those links are placed in
a footnote.If I try to do the same thing manually using the Word/Acrobat
pair on the PDFG server, everything works as expected. Is this a known
issue or a limitation of the product? If not, is there any setting that
I'm not aware of?Any hint would be greatly appreciated!Steffen.
Hello everyone,a customer of us is having problems displaying PDF forms
in Workspace ES. They are using IE7 with Reader 9.2. Reader is the
standard application for PDF files, the "Display PDFs in browser" option
has been set, but Workspace is still displaying the "You must install
Adobe Reader to view this form" message. It also doesn't work if Reader
is open in the background during the process.What can be the reason for
this? What can be checked to find out the reason why this problem is

Hello,we've just noticed that (I suppose since LC ES SP 3) no
notification email seems to contain any whitespace (LC ES running on
Win2K3, JBoss, MSSQL). I'm 100% sure that this has been working before
SP3 was applied.Is there any fix to solve this issue, or a way to work
around it? Or maybe we're doing something wrong here?Thank you very
much,Steffen.
No, we already tried that -- but when we did, a look inside the
server.log file revealed that LC was trying to construct an URL like
http://domain\user:password@host ... etc. which, of course, didn't work.
So it seems like only plain-text authentication is possible So it looks
like we're stuck ...
Hello all,in a customer project, we need to call a couple of Sharepoint
web services from an Adobe LC process. The services require NTLM
(Windows integrated) authentication. So far, we haven't been able to get
this to work - we always end up with an "domain name may not be null"
exception. Everything works fine if clear-text authentication is being
used, which is, however, not possible in the production environment.Is
there anyone who can provide a pointer how to get this to work? Is this
possib...
Hello,once again I have a question, and this may very well be a tricky
one:I have the need to check if a dynamic XFA form has been signed from
inside this form. This is quite easy and works perfectly if I just use a
button on the form or just about any script event I can think of. It
does, however, NOT work if I use the form inside an AIR client which is
using a FormBridge construction to communicate with the PDF.The problem
seems to be that event.target is always null in that case. So what I'm

Hello all,we've just been trying to apply the SP2 upgrade patch on an
installation (LCESU1) on Solaris / JBoss at a customer system. However,

Thank you very much indeed Howard - this is the sort of answer that one
dreams about, lots of useful information and then some. Great, thank
you.As our customers (at least at this time) are using own reporting
systems which take care of storing statistical information we may
actually be ok with the tool Adobe supplies with the SDK. However,
having just had a look at your site I think that we may very well
consider the enquiry tool for at least one of the affected
customers.Have a nice weekend,St...
Hello,I'd like to ask a question that may be a "dumb" one, but I want to
be sure about something *before* an actual problem occurs We're running
a number of LiveCycle (ES U1) installations, both in test and productive
environments, with quite some user-based processes. We noticed that the
size of the LiveCycle database keeps on increasing over time. It's most
noticeable on test systems which just use the turnkey MySQL, but it
doesn't seem to be that much different with MSSQL.What I'd like to kno...
Basically Paul is right.What has often helped me is to drag and drop the
node from the schema into an empty subform. Then you can have a look at
how Designer would do it - this can clear things up sometimes.S.
Thank you all for your quick responses!After playing around for a while,
I noticed that the issue really only occurs with one specific user
account. When I directly assigned the task to this account everything
worked just fine. After that, the xPath option worked as well. It really
looks like if something is being synchronized into the LC database when
a user account has it's first contact with a workflow. If that step
could be completed the issue never occurs again - which sounds pretty
much in...
Amazing, this is EXACTLY the case with our environment. I think we'd be
glad to hear anything you can still remember regarding that bug 😉Thanks
a million,Steffen.
