i am having trouble locating a step by step instructions on how to create a dynamic PDF document with hidden subforms that pop out when you select a button. i'm using livecycle version 8.2.1
Hello:
I have a form that is a series of 14 questions. Each question has a drop-down list with 4 possible answers (yes, no, N/A, not observed).
I need to show a total of the answers (number of yes, number of no, etc) at the end of the form.
Not real experienced at using scripts, but willing to learn...
Thanks!
I have the standalone Livecycle Designer ES4 and I am wondering how I can export my forms to access and fill out from mobile devices.
I have a question regarding text fields in tables and getting them to break across the page.
Operating System - Windows 7
Livecycle Designer ES2.
Form Target Version is Acrobat or Adobe Reader 9.1 or later
PDF Render Format: Dynamic XML Form
It is saved as an Adobe Dynamix XML Form (*.pdf)
Main Subform is set to Flowed with Allow Page Breaks within Content is checked.
I have a SubformTable within the Main Subform that is set to Flowed with Allow Page Breaks within Content being checked.
Table1 is in SubformTable
Table1 has Allow Page Breaks within Content being checked.
Table1.Row1 contains 6 columns with 6 text fields.
Table1.Row1 has Allow Page Breaks within Content being checked.
The text fields are set Expand to Fit and set to Allow Mulitple Lines.
However the "Allow Page Breaks within Content" for the text fields are greyed out.
When a text field in that row contains more than a page full of text, it just runs into the footer and does not spill over into the next page at all.
What am I missing?
I am new to LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 and I am not a programmer. I have pdf forms already created for me with data fields on each line item that needs to be filled. Not all data fields are required, they can be blank when there is no data. The data fields will be filled with data from an SQL table based on initial items completed on the form (the primary key informtion). Is there a way for me to print the pdf form with the data field names showing on each line so I can verify that the data field is the correct one on that line? We have hundreds of data fields and I need to be sure when the form is actually printed for the customer, that the information provided is the correct data. I know I can see the xml file and it will show the data fields I am using, but I need to be sure the data on line 7 shows up on line 7, not line 8. Can anybody out there help me out?
Hi,
What i am trying to do, is to hide a page according to a condition. The condition is in my Table's initialize event. I have tried alot of things, i even tried to simply write in my Table's initialize event : data.page.presence = 'hidden' but it does not work. Even worst, it seems to make that the rest of the script is ignored.
Anybody has tried to hide a page even if there is still information on it?
Thanks!!

Good morning all. I am trying to ensure that a date field on the form I am working on validates if the entry is not more than 8 digits, and if it is more, it should display a message, and return the focus back to the field until it is correct. Below is the code I wrote but it is not working:
if(DATE1.length>"8"){ xfa.host.messageBox(Enter eight digits for the date in the format YYYYMMDD or use the drop down calendar.);
xfa.host.setFocus("form1.Page1.DATE1"); }
I do not know why it is not working, i need help. I have this code on the exit event.
Thanks

Hey all,
I've seen some place using a barcode on their product, envelope
, biz card or other things. I'm wondering can i use some simple barcode
to classify my CD collections, cause I have a huge collections, and I want to divide them according to their time. E.g. 1 refers to R&B, 2 refers to Blue...
Could someone please help me?
Hi there,
if we open a LC-PDF in Acrobat/Reader and went with the cursor over a form field, there is this little yellow pop-up which shows the field name.
If i delete the field name in LC, there is no pop-up. Is there an easy way to stop this pop-up for the whole form or set every field name to (none)?
We have 20 forms right now and our customer don't want the pop-up.
Many thanks,
Florian
Creating a form in adobe livecycle. Have drop down list and was wondering if you could make one word in the drop down list a different color than the rest so that it would stand out if selected?
I am having trouble getting a text field to flow with out flowing over text field below it. Any suggestions?
Hi,
I have a form that requires the user to check a box regarding what articles they want mailed out to a participant depending on which client they are affiliated with and the language they speak. I am using 1 form for 7 clients. There is a separate page for each client in english and spanish, so the entire form has 16 pages with 2,988 checkboxes in the entire document (a little over 200 in each page besides the first and last page). The last page contains a textbox labled Summary, and it should provide a summary of all the items checked in the document. The first page contains a dropdown menu of each client and a radio button set with the language selection. Theoretically only one page will be populated at a time, so there will be no more than 200 checkboxes checked in the entire document.
As the articles are checked I want the checkbox name to automatically populate into the summary textbox on the last page. The code I'm using is below, but I can't get it to work.
I don't get a script error, but there is nothing populating in the summary textbox.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
The JS I am trying to get to work is the following:
form1.SummaryPage.SummaryText::calculate - (JavaScript, client)
// Custom Calculate script
(function () {
var i, v, s = "";
// Loop through the 2988 check boxes
for (i = 1; i < 2989; i += 1) {
// Get the value of the current checkbox
// Concatenate check box value to string if not deselected
if (v !== "Off") s+= v + "\r";
}
// Set this field value
})();
I want to set the focus of the cursor back to the date field when the validation fails... so far ive tried this and it does not work.

topmostSubform.Page2.DatOfAp::validate - (JavaScript, client)
DatOfApformat = /^\d{2}\/\d{2}\/\d{4,2}$/
if(! DatOfAp.rawValue.match( DatOfApformat ) ) {
xfa.host.messageBox( "Please enter a date (for example 04/14/1978)." );
this.rawValue = null;
xfa.host.setFocus("DatOfAp");
}
I have a fillable form that I created with Livecycle Designer along with two standard pdf files. When I try to combine in Acrobat Pro 10 it identifies the form with XML data and will not allow me to complete the process. Thanks in advance for any help with this.
I have a Table which is being passed to my context in the ADOBE Form. I need to be able to count the # of records in this table. I don’t have to display the actual table in this case on the form, I just need the record count. And, I need to do this using JavaScript and I don’t know anything about Java (although if FormCalc works I can use this as well). My Tablename is Customer and on my form it is in the Hierarcy data.main.customerbody.customerline. If I have to have this table data on the form then I can just put it on the form and make it invisiible. I really only need to count the # of records though and return this # to a Text Field on the form.
Does someone know how to do this and can you give me an example in either Java for FormCalc? The more specfic you can be with the scripting example the better for this newbie. thx!
i have two date fields in different subforms.
the first must be older then the current date
and the second must be newer than the first date.
i tried to create a javascript to validate the fields, but i don't know how to do this
anyone?
Hi Folks,
I have a LiveCycle purchase request form that calculates a grand total. If that grand total is equal to or greater than $1,000.00 the subform "comparativeBids" should be made visible. The calculation works fine in FormCalc but not in JavaScript. Can someone help me figure how to make the JavaScript calculation work? I am not familiar with FormCalc enough to write conditional statements using that language but I am open to using it is someone can provide the script.
Anyway, here is my JavaScript for grandTotal (calculate event):
PRForm.generalInfo.totalGroup.totalTable.grandTotalRow.grandTotal::cal culate - (JavaScript, client)
this.rawValue = subtotalRow.subtotal + taxRow.tax + shippingRow.shipping;
comparativeBids.presence = "hidden";
var order= xfa.resolveNode("PRForm.generalInfo.totalGroup.totalTable.grandTotalR ow.grandTotal").rawValue;
if (order >= 1000) {
comparativeBids.presence = "visible";
}
Note: I have also tried the calculation as this.rawValue = subtotalRow.subtotal.rawValue + taxRow.tax.rawValue + shippingRow.shipping.rawValue; --- again no success with the JavaScript version.
Thanks in advance for the help!
