I'm trying to make a new form for work and LC keeps crashing. Sometimes it's good for a day or two, but then I'll move a field or tweek the script and BAM it's crashed on me. It's becoming really frustrating. Something that should have taken me a week to do, is now going 2 week.

This error I keep getting. Anyone else having the same problems and if so, how did you fix the problem?

TIA, Dani

Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded to Adobe XI and I can't find a "submit by email" button for my form. I created a button and tried to set up some actions but, I can only get the button to direct the user to a URL. How do I make it send the completed PDF to our designated company email address? I'm not too familiar with JAVASCRIPTS so I haven't tried that plus I heard it may not work with users with adobe reader.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt

I have read about the use of Choice Subform Sets.  I have wrapped 2 suborms within a choice subform set.  Then from the subform set tab in the object palette, I am choosing the Edit Alternatives option.  Within Edit Alternatives, I select 'Choose Subform Whose Name Matches Data Element or Attribute'.  I then name the alternative subforms to "opt1" and "opt2".  I have also added a data node in my data xml with the same name.  For example, <opt1>T<opt1>.

If I understand the Adobe "help" screen for this subject correctly, rendering my xml data file with this template (this is not an interactive form) by previewing should work.  However, it is not.  Only the first subform and it's objects display regardless of which one is first.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I don't want user to be able to save a form if a Social Security Number is left blank. Is there a code to handle this?

When users try to open my distributed forms using Adobe Reader 9 they get an alert box which states:

'You need to install the Traditional Chinese Language Support Package to view or fill in this form.  If you continue without installing this package the form will not work correctly'

Is there anything within LiveCycle Designer which can be changed to prevent this message from appearing when users try to open the form ?

Here is the script of my form, I have very little experience of Java Script but I cannot see any ref. to Chinese ?

Any Help would be greatly appreciated......

Hi,

I have a table in which the number of columns is dynamic. If not all columns fit on one page, it should continue on the next page. (How this is also working for example in Excel printouts, if one sheet doesn't fit on one page. My page setup is landscape and all the subforms and the table are set to "Flowed".

Do I have to implement those kind of column page breaks by myself or is there a way to do that automatically, so it breaks, if a column does not fit on the page anymore?

Thank you for your help!

Why am I unable to edit an existing form with LiveCycle Designer trial version?

Hello,

   I have a switch statement that is written in javascript that I need to re-create in formcalc as I need to use this form on an Ipad. Here is the code:

switch (this.rawValue) {

    case "500":

     form_1.Page5.subform5.texfield1.rawValue = "A";

     form_1.Page5.subform5.textfield2.rawValue = "B";

     form_1.Page5.subform5.textfield3.rawValue = "C";

     form_1.Page5.subform5.textfield4.rawValue = "D";

     form_1.Page5.subform5.textfield5.rawValue = "E";

     break;

    case "501":

     form_1.Page5.subform5.textfield1.rawValue = "F";

     form_1.Page5.subform5.textfield2.rawValue = "G";

     form_1.Page5.subform5.textfield3.rawValue = "H";

     form_1.Page5.subform5.textfield4.rawValue = "I";

     form_1.Page5.subform5.textfield5.rawValue = "J";

     break;

    case "502":

     form_1.Page5.subform5.textfield1.rawValue = "K";

     form_1.Page5.subform5.textfield2.rawValue = "L";

     form_1.Page5.subform5.textfield3.rawValue = "M";

     form_1.Page5.subform5.textfield4.rawValue = "N";

     form_1.Page5.subform5.textfield5.rawValue = "O";

     break;

}

Thanks!

Hello!

I have several floating text objects bound to corresponding fields (text and numeric) and they work fine... expect when I hide the fields and then the bound text in the floating text objects also disappears.

Did I miss a step?

Thank you!

Hi guys,

I have checked around the forum and I haven't quite found the perfect way to do what I want. Here it is.

I have three boxes at the top that should keep a running total. Each of the six dropdown lists contain the following values, A, B, C. The user will put a number in the numeric field and choose A, B or C. When he/she does then the amount in the numeric field goes in the proper box at the top "Total A" for A, "TotalB" for B and "TotalC" for C. The totals should continue to add.

Example one: if a user puts 200 in each Numeric Field and selected "A: in each dropdown list then "Total A" would be equal to 1200 and "Total B" and "Total C" would be 0.

Example two: User puts 100 in all six numeric fields and then selects "A","A","A", "B","B, "C" for each dropdown list. The totals at the top should be "Total A" = 300, "Total B" = 200 and "Total C" = 100.

I have to do this on a large scale so a global script might be better. Thanks so much for your help!

Hi.

Can someone please let me know if we can convert .afp files into either XML/PDF files?

[Background: Currently, we have the data in .afp file format. We use some third party tool to convert .afp file into a static pdf. The data is not available in the DB. Now the idea is to convert the .afp file into an XML file (if possible) and use this XML file as an input to new interactive PDF]

Thanks in advance.

I have a number of fields that will run some script in their mouseDown event. The containing subform has a calculate event, which needs to know which one of its children caused its event to fire. It appears that the mouseDown event fires first, then the calculate event.

Subform

     Field1

     Field2

I'm trying to create radio buttons that act like checkboxes. I want a user of my form to only be able to select one option from a radio buton list, but I want them to be able to uncheck the options.

Hi,

I created a simple form with Livescycle and even if when i look at the PDF with adobe reader, i can see enought privilege, i cannot really save the content.

Basically, i can open the PDF, fill the fields, save the document but when i reopen the document afterward, the content has disapeared. If i look at the same PDF with notepad, i can see the values next to the field but the values are not visible anymore in the reader.

You can download the file from that location :

http://ge.tt/99qsN79?c

I have tried a lot of thing before to take the decision to post a message here but despite my efforts, i am not able to figure out where is the problem.

Thanks in advance for your help....

Hi team ,

I have Problem in highlighting the fields in a dynamically repeatable subform. Sub form will have min count = 1 and max Count =20 and subform is flow able.each subform is flow able .

I have to check only two fields in a subform whether they are null or empty . If the fields are empty or null then i have to highlight the fields .

Below scripting is not working as per the requirement .

I have written the below scripting  on click event of a button.

function Test()

{

var cnt = subform1.subform2.subform3.instanceManager.count;

for(var i =0;i <= cnt;i++)

{

                var vAccnt = subform1.subform2.resolveNode("subform3["+ i +"]").txtfldAccnt.rawValue;

                var vAmount= subform1.subform2.resolveNode("subform3["+ i +"]").txtfldAmount.rawValue;

                if(vAccnt == "" || vAccnt == null)

                {

                                var vName = Page1.WorkArea.GLDistribution.sfrmGLDistribution.sfrmDistribution.txtfldGLAccnt.somExpres sion;

                                var fieldObj = xfa.resolveNode(vName + ".ui.#textEdit.border.fill.color");

                                fieldObj.value = "255,0,0"; 

                }   }}

Please help me How i can solve this problem.

I have a form whose boilerplate will be dynamically populated based on a XML file. The variable content is bound to a floating field, and there is a draw that references this floating field. The issue is that the orphan and page break control CSS tags (orphans, widows, page-break-inside) are not honored when they are referenced from a floating field. See referenced form.

Signature code:
