Re: Group of radio button answers selects an outcome - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi, One option would be to bind a 1/0 value to all of the radio buttons: Yes = 1 and No = 0 (go to the Object > Bind panel). This way you can have an if/else statement in the calculate event of the checkbox: If (SUM of predictable group of radio buttons >= 1 AND SUM of preventable group >=1) then set the value of the checkbox to on. This way if any of the radio buttons in both groups is Yes, the checkbox will be set to ticked. Hope that helps,Niall

Re: Palette menu buttons - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi, I am sorry, but I am not able to provide support for the time being. We have an extensive library of solutions to common problems and requests on our site. I would recommend having a look at this: http://assuredynamics.com/index.php/code-solutions/ and http://assuredynamics.com/index.php/blog/. Niall

Re: Clearing an image field - Adobe LiveCycle

Sorry for the delay, I doubt that is the case. Can I suggest that you separate out the blocks of script into different events. For example, place the set imageField rawValue to null script in the mouseUp event and the hide script in the click event. This way the first block of script will fire completely, before you hide the object. Also use the JavaScript debugger to see if there is an error happening. Hope that helps,Niall

Re: Clearing an image field - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi, I have an example here where you can have script in the click event that checks if the user is holding the Shift key. If they are, it clears the imageField: http://assure.ly/j1KdNqHope that helps,Niall

Re: multiple check boxes showing/hiding same fields - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi, You can achieve this with multiple conditions in the if/else statement. For example:Where more than one chackbox has to be ticked AND the dropdown has a value "The required selection": if (Sum(Checkbox1, Checkbox2, Checkbox3, Checkbox4) ge 1 and DropDown1 eq "The required selection") then $.presence = "visible"else $.presence = "hidden"endifAlternatively, where more than one chackbox has to be ticked OR the dropdown has a value "The required selection": if (Sum(Checkbox1, Checkbox2, Checkbox...

Re: multiple check boxes showing/hiding same fields - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi,I would have expected the layout to flow when using the layout:ready event.Are you setting the presence to "hidden" and not "invisible"?You may need to force a relayout, by including this at the end of thescript: xfa.layout.relayout();A better approach would be to use a Script Object and place the script therein a function. Then you could call the function in the click event of eachof the checkboxes. There are plenty of examples of script objects andfunctions. This is much better than duplica...

Re: xfa.resolvenode returns null on one field whereas returns a node on the event of the specific field - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi, You are trying to resolve all nodes eg "Row1[*]". However, the syntax is xfa.resolveNodes(), not xfa.resolveNode(). Note plural. Explore this example, that builds up to referencing objects, including xfa.resolveNodes() and xfa.resolveNode(): http://assure.ly/kUP02y. Hope that helps,Niall

Re: multiple check boxes showing/hiding same fields - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi,You have complete control over this. The following are various approaches if you had four checkboxes controlling the presence of a subform. All scripts are FormCalc and in the layout:ready event of the subform. Where any checkbox would show the subform:if (Sum(Checkbox1, Checkbox2, Checkbox3, Checkbox4) ge 1) then $.presence = "visible"else $.presence = "hidden"endif Where all four checkbox have to be clicked to show the subform:if (Sum(Checkbox1, Checkbox2, Checkbox3, Checkbox4) eq 4) then $...

Re: How do I email a specific page - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi,I suspect that the first page uses a different master page. If this is the case, then hiding page1, will still mean an instance of the first master page is rendered. The other issue could be your pagination settings. For example, if page2 is set to Top of New Page, then this is what will be rendered. Try, Follow Previous. Hope that helps,Niall

Re: global data dropdown populated with user-entered data - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi,You can loop through Table1 and then populate the dropdown in Table2 using this data. You would have script in the preOpen event of the dropdown in Table2.

Re: Accessing objects on one master page, to change all examples of that master page - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi, What I have done in the past is have the five logos in image obects on the Master page, that are hidden. The have a blank imageField on the master page, with the following script in the docReady event:// Set the imagefield object to read onlythis.access = "readOnly";Then sets the imageField data binding to Global in Object > Binding palette. Lastly if you have a look at this example you will see how you can set the rawValue of the imageField to be the same as any of the image objects: http:/...

Re: multiple check boxes showing/hiding same fields - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi Michelle,I think you could get it to work. For example if a field's visibility depended on Checkbox1 and Checkbox2, then the script for this field would sum these two checkboxes. On the other hand if a different field depended on Checkbox 1, Checkbox5 and Checkbox8, then it would just sum these. It would also work for subforms. The easiest event to use is the layout:ready event, however this is not very effective as this event fires all the time the user interacts with the form. So depending ...

Re: Needs help with my date validation script - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi, One option instead of a validation script is to specify multiple date patterns in the Edit tab (Object > Field palette and click Patterns). {YYYYMMDD} | {DD-MM-YY} | {DD-MM-YYYY} | {DD/MM/YY} | {DD/MM/YYYY} | {MM-DD-YY} The Display pattern would remain the same {YYYYMMDD}Hope that helps,Niall

Re: Help with DDL - Adobe LiveCycle

Re: multiple check boxes showing/hiding same fields - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi,Instead of having script in the click event (or what ever event) of each of the checkboxes, have a script in the fields that sums the 20 checkboxes and if this is greater than 0 (eg at least one checkbox is ticked) then show the field. A kind of example here for suming radio buttons: http://assure.ly/uiKS6f. Another "related" example here: http://assure.ly/omsURE. Hope that helps,Niall

Re: How do I email a specific page - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi, Email functionality will only email the document/PDF. As a workaround, you could place script in the mouseUp event of the Email button that hides all pages and then shows the required page. You could do this using the presence property. There are some exmples here: http://assure.ly/kyMP6l and http://assure.ly/iWzzPg. Hope that helps,Niall

Re: global data dropdown populated with user-entered data - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi, Global binding will not work for objects (including Dropdowns) in repeating rows. This is because while the object appears in different rows (different instances of the repeating row), they all have the same name. There is an example here, which minics global binding in repeating rows: http://assure.ly/eTOXaH. See the script in the exit event of the objects in the first table. Please note that this example is set up so that the number of rows is the same in both tables. Hope that helps,Niall

Re: Populating a Text Field based on Check Box(es) selection. - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi,You might be better to place the script in the calculate event of the txtFld, as then when any of the referenced fields change, it will automatically fire the script in the calculate event. There is a summary of events here: http://bit.ly/gW3RNr. Hope that helps,Niall

Re: XML Source Error - cache property - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi, I suspect that your form is corrupt. You need to be careful when "editing" a form in the XML Source. If you delete incomplete sections, it may throw an error. One option may be to copy all of the visible objects into a new form. Good luck,Niall

Re: How to deselecting radio buttons? - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi, Have a look at this example: http://assure.ly/j1KdNq. It works on the basis of the user holding the Shift button while clicking the radio buttons. Obviously the user will need an instruction on this. Hope that helps,Niall

Re: Saving Fillable Form as non-fillable PDF - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi,The Lock All Fields example was created in LiveCycle Designer and cannot be directly transferred into an AcroForm (eg a form created in Acrobat). You would need to add script to a button that sets each field to read only. For example,this.getField("invoiceAmount").readOnly = true;Hope that helps,Niall
