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...
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...
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

I set the language here:And I also insert accessibility text for each
field that does not connect to the text that describes what is being
asked:I don't know if this helps.....
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?
I don't know if I'm expert enough but you can contact me with what kind
of help you are needing and I'll let you know if I think I can

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?
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...
Assure Dynamics has an example of how this can work. You can download it
here:http://http://assuredynamics.com/index.php/portfolio/changing-an-objects-presence-and-relevant-properties/They
also have posted many, many other examples of things that LiveCycle can
do. Good luck.
I have a user that needs to add large amounts of text to a text field
but she needs to be able to bold the subject of each paragraph she
enters. Is there a way to do this without specifying the whole field to
be bold at design?
Bar I have a form that will be scanned and I need the pdf417 barcode to
automatically generate the Page 1 of 12 or whatever the count will be. I
have tried using global data with the "Pages" text but that hasn't
worked. You can't make a Collection list with the floating fields of
CurrentPage and PageCount so could someone please offer a suggestion as
to how to accomplish this. My form has two master pages so I have one of
those barcodes on each page. Right now I'm just entering that

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?
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.
We are putting in a new scanning process of our forms. Is there a way to
place a barcode that will scan the "page n of m" on the form? If so,
which barcode should I use and how do I script it? I would appreciate
any help you can offer. Thank you.
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...
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.
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...
Thank you for your patience and yes, you're a genius, it works
perfectly. Now I can finish out my project and know that it works well.
Have a great New Year's.
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?
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...
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...
