What he is trying to explain is: if you want annotations to be allowed, then you must save your form as a "Adobe Static PDF form" in LiveCycle and then enable it in Accrobat pro or reader extensions. Once you do, then the dynamic properties of the form will no longer work, like buttons or subforms opening and closing. It basically becomes just like a form that you created in Word and converted it to a PDF. The first image below is a dynamic PDF with the button functioning and the new section ope...

Re: I'm Losing LiveCycle. What are my Options? jeanette614 - Adobe LiveCycle

Thanks Karl. I have Acrobat DC as part of the Creative Cloud so maybe that's where I need to be enabling my forms?

Re: I'm Losing LiveCycle. What are my Options? jeanette614 - Adobe LiveCycle

I just spoke to Adobe last week and that's what I was told.

Re: I'm Losing LiveCycle. What are my Options? jeanette614 - Adobe LiveCycle

If you download ES4 this way it does NOT include Reader Extensions to enable your forms to save the data that people have typed in. You can use Acrobat Pro DC to enable the forms but the license with the product only allows 500 forms to be enabled. Otherwise, your company can purchase the Reader Extensions Server but that's like $13,000 or some such crazy number.I have been talking to Adobe about this exact issue because I bought Acrobat Pro X just so that I could have the same version of the so...

Re: Print HELP page / print specific page jeanette614 - Adobe LiveCycle

What I did is, I set a button at the bottom of the form to let the user see the help page if necessary. The Help Page is set to "Hidden" in the presence on the object palette. The button itself is "Visible Screen Only" (why that's not the default for all buttons is beyond me). Then I created the Condition in the Tools/Action Builder that when the "Show Help Page" button is clicked,Page2 (the help page becomes visible) If you printed the file now, both pages would print.But since you want the use...

Re: Can someone help. I created a form in LiveCycle ES4 but save it in DC. The problem is it will not pass our 508 compliance as no lang is specified. We need English US speicified in the form. We place the code and save it but it is not working. Ca jeanette614 - Adobe LiveCycle

Re: I need help with! scripts for a livecycle form.....please jeanette614 - Adobe LiveCycle

I'm looking at your form and I have a question. I also do not write any javascript code but use the Tools section to set up a "Condition" and then a "Result".But my question is, doesn't every item in your item list HAVE or correspond to an item description? If so, this would be easier to NOT have a list box for the description and unit price but have a text field that displays the proper description for the item and price when something is chosen from the list.Or do I misunderstand the problem?

LiveCycle form as front end to a Microsoft CRM jeanette614 - Adobe LiveCycle

My agency is using a Microsoft CRM to house all the data on clients. How can I make my LiveCycle forms connect to that CRM to populate information from the CRM and then back to the CRM once the user fills out the form?

Is there a way to make a large text field lined like old fashioned notebook paper? jeanette614 - Adobe LiveCycle

I have a client who appreciates being able to fill out forms onscreen but has many users who will print out the form and handwrite in all the information for large narratives. He wants the text fields to expand and wrap correctly if the form is used on screen, but to contain lines for the narrative when printed out and filled in manually.Does anyone know of a way to do this so it displays correctly within a text field? In playing around with the text field, I designated it with "Custom" chosen a...

Re: I need a barcode that accepts a collection of field data but is very small on the page. jeanette614 - Adobe LiveCycle

I guess I'm not understanding well enough how to do this. We have individual fields on the form, one each for name, street address, city, state, zip code and case number. How do I make that one QR pick up the data from each field as the user enters the information or would I have to use a different type of barcode or do something inside the form to group those fields so that all that data is collected?

I need a barcode that accepts a collection of field data but is very small on the page. jeanette614 - Adobe LiveCycle

We are starting a scanning process for our forms. We have several fields that we want to pick up the data from ie: clients name, address and case number. We are currently trying to use a paper forms barcode but it takes up a huge amount of real estate on the form. Is there another barcode that will work with a scanner that can store the data in a smaller footprint? I would appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you.

How do I total a column of currency that's in .000 format and then have it round up or down in the total field? jeanette614 - Adobe LiveCycle

I have a table that figures mileage at .576 per mile and in the total field I want the total to display as the nearest whole cents result, such as $56.23 or $56.22 depending on the result. I can Sum the column with success but it's the rounding up or down that I don't know how to write into that field. I'd appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you.

I have set form fields as User required and yet the form still prints/save when empty. I also have an email button on the form but that works correctly by not allowing the user to email the form with the required fields empty. What script do I need to additionally restrict both printing and saving if the required fields are empty?You would think that just setting that option would restrict those functions the same as it does for the email button.Please be specific with your response if you are g...

Re: How do I multiple a number after it rounds up? jeanette614 - Adobe LiveCycle

Gosh I'd love to learn how to do that some day. That works perfectly. Now hopefully he won't request something else that I don't know how to make work but thanks again and I wish you a great New Year.

Re: How do I multiple a number after it rounds up? jeanette614 - Adobe LiveCycle

Well, I spoke too soon so I'm starting this thread again. The above script works great except it rounds everything to the next highest number. The requestor would like everything from 2.0 to 2.4 to round DOWN and everything from 2.5 (or whatever number they are entering) to round UP.I tried changing the command in this script from "ceil" to "round" which does work just fine except now the amount for the "Payout" calculates the entire amount they typed in the mileage field. If they typed 2.4 mile...

Re: How do I multiple a number after it rounds up? jeanette614 - Adobe LiveCycle

Ok, now I'm really confused. Do both of these script lines go into the field where they enter the miles called "mileage" or the field where it calculates *.56 called "auto" or one in each?

How do I multiple a number after it rounds up? jeanette614 - Adobe LiveCycle

I have a form asking for miles traveled. I need what they enter to round up to the next nearest whole mile. I have called that field "mileage". I have set it to whole numbers and it rounds up nicely for display. Now I need to multiple that new rounded "mileage" number by .56 (that field is called "auto"). What I currently have in the "auto" field is: mileage*.56 Unfortunately, it still uses whatever they type in to calculate with and not the rounded up "mileage" whole number.What script do I nee...

Instructions on how to create a "flattened" pdf from a LiveCycle Form jeanette614 - Adobe LiveCycle

My company is working with a vendor who had requested that I "flatten" my LiveCycle created pdf so as to remove the XML data and interactivity from the form so it no longer has fill in fields. After much research I found a very simple solution and wanted to post it here because the discussions that I waded thru on this forum to find out how to do this process were varied and lengthy. But in reality, the solution is quite simple. I opened my regular LiveCycle file in LiveCycle and chose "print" f...
