My form has a hidden HELP page that is accessed by clicking a button. It
is the last page and has a button to close/hide it again. I set the form
up so that the HELP page, whether visible or not, is not counted in the
total number of pages/page count ("Page # of ##") displayed at the
bottom of all of the other pages. I further put in the Action Builder to
hide the HELP page upon saving or printing.However, someone wants to
print the HELP page. I can put a "Print HELP" button on the HELP page
and...

To add "sample text" in a text field, right-click on the text field and
select Patterns > Display.Check the "Allow Empty" box and enter your
sample text. Granted, it will be in the same font/default color as the
text being entered; however, you can add a couple of Action Builder
routines to change font colors, such as making the sample text a light
gray and entered text as black.To do that, three Action Builder routines
are necessary: 1) Initialize the text field and set its font color to
gray; ...

I created a repeatable subform with all relevant objects: an office name
text field (Office_TextEntry), a concurrence-select drop-down field
(ConcurSelect_DropDown) , a name field for the person
(CoordinatorName_TextEntry), a comment text field
(CoordinatorComment_TextEntry), and an initials text field
(Initials_TextEntry). [Nothing special about the initials text field,
it's just a regular text-entry block.] Since the subform is repeatable,
I can have a button set up so the users can click to a...

Digi-signing a form creates the digital equivalent of a snapshot of the
form as-is upon signing and incorporates that into the signature; hence
the growth. That way, the reader can determine from the digi-sig if any
content in the form has changed. As you have noted, the bigger the
initial file, the bigger the signature growth--and the more signatures,
the more it grows too.I had this same issue and our email servers limit
file size to 10MB or less. Our form had multiple digi-sigs and we had to

Take a look at this answer I gave another person about adding days to
dates: Re: Adding Days to a Date.So, depending on whatever value the
user picks from the radio button (90, 180, 365), add that number to a
periodSelect variable, then run a Num2Date call to set the value of the
newDate field. The example below presumes you have a radio button called
radioButton1 with default button values of '0' for 90 days, '1' for 180
days, and '2' for 365 days.Example:var periodSelectvar newDate_Numif

From your screen grab, I see you have two Master Pages (labeled Page1
and Page2) and at least two pages (one labeled HeaderPage1 and another
labeled Page1Item).Without seeing more of the hierarchy and not knowing
whether you have any flowed content, this is the best guess I can give
you:The blank page you're experiencing is a result of not properly
setting how many times to replicate/repeat each Master Page.For
instance, if you have Master Page Page1 set to repeat and your content

What you are needing is a different "Master Page" for each different
footer you want.The form I created has three different master pages, all
with different footers. Actually I have four different master pages, but
the fourth is used as a "how do I fill in this form" help page.When you
have the form open, look at the left column and click on the page-1
master page. From there, insert however many copies you'll need and give
them names like "Customer_Copy", "Merchant_Copy", "Accounting_Copy",
etc...

I have the same basic need to manipulate dates, as have several other
people. Therefore, in helping you, I have helped myself.When dealing
with dates in LiveCycle, you have two scripting languages to choose
from: JavaScript or FormCalc. JavaScript will give you fine-grain
manipulation--at the cost of more stringent programming; whereas
FormCalc can give you the basics of what you are needing and
easier-to-manipulate function calls. This example uses FormCalc.You
already have your two date fields...

I want to set defaults on my form, such as graying-out and disabling
coordinator blocks and have used form1.docReady under the Action Builder
(i.e., "When form form1 has finished loading" do this and this and
this). Some coordinators on my form are unnecessary for routine issues,
hence their blocks being disabled/grayed out; however, certain input
choices require higher-level coordination and that enables and un-grays
those coordinator blocks.A user goes in, selects different things,
enters vari...

Each digital signature object will have its own individual properties,
one of which is what gets locked (if anything) when signed.Click on a
digi-sig object and look at the Object Palette, specifically the
Signature tab. By default, it will lock the entire document. You have to
set it to something else.For instance, the initial evaluator wouldn't
want anyone changing what he/she wrote, so you can create a "Collection"
of those initial evaluator's objects (name, office, evaluation, etc.)
and lock...
