I just realized that the known bug in live cycle is creating unnecessary lines of code to my form. I don't have the ability to update to the most recent live cycle. Is there any way to fix it without? Has anyone created a macro or something to remove all the extra lines? So far I have deleted a few hundred thousand occurrences of <?templateDesigner StyleID aped3?> and still going. Also afraid I am going to delete something I shouldn't.

How can I use XLIFF to help with form translation?
I know nothing about how to do use XLIFF to aid in getting form translated into other languages. I am researching this as part of a project to see if this will work. But all I have found in articles about how to use XLIFF with LiveCycle Designer seem to assume that people reading the article know how to do it. What I want to know is,
1. What tools do I need besides LiveCycle Designer ES.
2. How do I get the .xdp files into a format that I can bring into an editor, do the translation then get it back into an .xdp so I can open it in LiveCycle Designer again.
3. Who can I talk to about this?
So far I'm not getting any help on any inquires I have posted on other forums. I just want to learn how this works and how to do it.

Adobe reader opens "save as" box when clicking on save button rather than saving in the same file
Hi everybody,
I have a fillable PDF form designed in Livecycle designer and it is reader extended. When I fill that form on MAC it let me fill and save the form as many times as I like. Everytime I make any change I just click the save button it saves changes in the same form. BUT is is behaving differently on Windows. After filling the form out when I click on save button it opens up "Save as " dialogue box to save a new copy with those changes. I have Adobe reader XI and Adobe Acrobat XI installed on windows. I know I can do that with Acrobat but I want that in reader for users who dont have acrobat.
Please help me.....
Thanks

Hide Last Blank Page after Repeating Subform Page Break
Greetings!
My form has a repeating subform that is the last object in my form's hierarchy. I have a button that, when clicked, creates a new instance of this repeating subform. Each instance of this repeating subform has to start on a new page, so for this subform, under "Object > Pagination > After" I selected "Go To Next Page". That was easy enough. However, naturally this makes the last page in the form blank. How do I always hide this last blank page while still being able to keep my page breaks between each instance of the repeating subform? If always hiding this last blank page is not possible, how do I hide it on, say, prePrint?
Thanks in advance,
Clint

Data not saved
Hi all,
When I created the form from a word doc and binding the fields to a SQL Server database, I was able to save all of the data. However, when I created a dynamic form and then bind the fields to the table in SQL Server, my data is only being saved for the first field in the form. Really appreciate if you could set some insight into why only the first column being saved and not the rest of the data. Thanks. Martin

Preview tab locks up LiveCycle
Out of the blue today, anytime I click on the preview tab to check a form being developed, the preview appears then LiveCycle locks up and I have to use Ctrl-Alt-Del to close the program.
I have used LiveCycle for years, using three versions, without this incident. Anyone else experience this sudden behavior?

CSigDict - 1938 error?
Some of the forms are giving my end-users a strange error, saying
"Creation of this signature could not be completed, Unknown Error,
Support Information: CSigDict - 1938".
An HFT message then follows, saying the file is already open or in use by another application; however, I know this is not the case. Unfortunately, once this error is shown, the file becomes permanently corrupted and I cannot remove the signature. Sometimes the signature will show on the document just fine (even if it is corrupted, it looks fine on the screen), and sometimes not.
I can find no reference to this particular error on google. Any idea what's going on?

search functionality
Hi all,
Instead of using the data drop-down list (which I think is cumbersome when it comes to thousands of records in the database), I would like to create a search button base on certain search criteria.

Javascript to setFocus to nothing (as if none of the fields/buttons on a page have the focus)
Still trying to find a fully functional work around from my initial post here: mouseEnter/mouseExit event is triggering a screen jump ONLY when zoomed in?
Thanks again to Radzmar for his thoughts.
Part of the solution is clearing the focus using Javascript. --- as if the end-user clicked on dead space of the form so none of the fields, buttons, etc. has focus.
Documentation states:
xfa.host.setFocus() or xfa.host.setFocus(null) should do the trick. But this only seems to work sporadically. For example:
1) Called from the mouseEnter event OF A BUTTON, either script WILL clear the focus from a traditional field object (text/numeric/etc.) --- but, ironically, NOT from a button.
2) Exact same code in the exitEvent of a normal text field will NOT clear the focus. So while setFocus to an actual location WILL override the TAB order, setting to (null) or () doesn't do anything.
Am I insane or is there really no way to just simply clear the form's focus?
Thanks,
BR

timer in livecycle
Hi everybody
I try to get the presence of these objects when the file is opened. I use the initialize event. It works in a random way. Sometimes it's OK, sometimes it stops anywhere and sometimes it doesn't start. I assume that a pause is needed. But how can I do that.
Many thanks for your help !

Cannot reset border of subform?
I am modifying the ColorFieldsValidation JavaScript to handle a situation where I want the entire subform containing any failed fields to be highlighted. The highlighting works well. However, even when the validation is successful, the highlighting persists. I believe I've narrowed it down to line 32, which seems to only remove the bottommost border. I realize this code was originally written to remove borders of fields, but why does it not also work for subforms?
function InitializeColorFields() { // Disable Acrobat's field highlighting. The Color // Failed Fields action takes care of highlighting fields. if (xfa.host.name == "Acrobat") { app.runtimeHighlight = false; }
}
function DoColorFields(oInvalidNode) { // If this form is running on a client other than Acrobat // (like on the server) then don't run this script if (xfa.host.name != "Acrobat") { return; } var sClassName = oInvalidNode.className; // Only contests, so nodes that are <field>s and // have name "Selected" // Ignore everything else if ((sClassName != "field") && (oInvalidNode.name != "Selected")) { return; } //get closest Contest var nearestContest = oInvalidNode.resolveNode("Contest") if (oInvalidNode.errorText == "") { // Validation Succeeded // Revert the appearance to its original state console.println("we good for " + oInvalidNode.name); var oBorder = nearestContest.border; //does not work! oBorder.parent.nodes.remove(oBorder); } else { // Validation Failed // Show the invalid appearance var oFailedBorder = nearestContest.border; // Border color // Show a solid border with square corners var sBorderColor; sBorderColor = "51, 102, 255"; if (sBorderColor != "none") { oFailedBorder.presence = "visible"; for (var i = 0; i < 4; i++) { var oEdge = oFailedBorder.getElement("edge", i); oEdge.presence = "visible"; oEdge.color.value = sBorderColor; oEdge.thickness = "2pt"; oEdge.stroke = "solid"; var oCorner = oFailedBorder.getElement("corner", i); oCorner.presence = "visible"; oCorner.color.value = sBorderColor; oCorner.thickness = "2pt"; oCorner.stroke = "solid"; oCorner.join = "square"; oCorner.inverted = "0"; oCorner.radius = "0mm"; } } // Background color // Show a solid fill color var sFillColor; sFillColor = "153, 204, 255"; if (sFillColor != "none") { // The presence of the border must be visible to show the fill. // Hide the edges when the invalid appearance doesn't include // changing the border color if (oFailedBorder.presence != "visible") { oFailedBorder.presence = "visible"; oFailedBorder.edge.presence = "invisible"; } // Replace the current fill type with a solid fill if (oFailedBorder.fill.oneOfChild.className != "solid") { var oFailedFillType = oFailedBorder.fill.oneOfChild; oFailedBorder.fill.nodes.remove(oFailedFillType); var oSolid = xfa.form.createNode("solid", ""); oFailedBorder.fill.nodes.append(oSolid); } oFailedBorder.fill.color.value = sFillColor; } }
