Hi,
I am developing a form based PDF for user who are blind or low vision. In my page in some questions there are multiple choices and if user checks "None" option then I am programatically unchecking other checkboxes.
But JAWS read as "checked". I don't know if its JAWS issue or not.
Thanks,

I have another tabbing question that's driving me crazy.
In this picture. I can't seem to make the highlighted field be 9th in the tabbing. No matter what I do, it stay 35 and I cannot figure out why.
Why do some numbers appear blue, while others appear brown?
I've even recreated the field in the table and tried to place it that way.
Thanks for any help.

In my application, I have a page with some fields and a button.
1.Per requirement I need to lock each and every field present on this page. However, button should not get locked as this has script written on click event to unlock the fields present on the same page.
For locking all the fields: Form.Page.access = "protected" --- this is working fine
Now to unlock the button: Form.Page.OverRide.access = ""; -- this is not working. Button still locked. I printed the status of the button on console and it shows as open.
2. If I try to lock each and every field individually, few fields are not getting locked and still remain editable. I have checked written code is correct.
My second question is how to lock all the fields without locking a button present on the same page level?
Good morning all.
I have a couple of listboxes on a form I am working on, and it works perfectly, however, each time it opens up, it is so transparent that you see other objects on the form through the items within the listboxes. It confuses the end-users on what the listed items are and which are the fields on the form.
I was just wondering if there is something or setting/script that will set the background such that it will act like that of the drop down list.
Thanks

If I am concerned about what version of Abode Reader a user has then I know that I can put up a message box saying "You must be at version XX" or something like that. Does anyone know if their is a way to actually check the version a user is running and to put a message indicating it is outdated and they must update it?
Hi,
I receive this message when I am working in LiveCycle Designer ES3 and I go to the "Preview PDF" section. I also receive it when I close LiveCycle and open my form in Adobe Reader. I click "OK" to close the error pop-up box, but it just keeps popping up and I am unable to do anything.
I am running Windows XP and I have Adobe Reader X.
Thank you.
As an aside, I had to upgrade from ES2 to ES3 and subsequently lost much compatibility in my form creation. Now I have to re-create my forms from scratch. Good job, Adobe. Thank you for fixing something that wasn't broken.
I have a standard pdf form created in LiveCycle and I want to be able to automically fill in fields when data is provided. I've heard if i provide xml data in the right format and send it to livecycle it'll render the form with the data. Can someone confirm if that's possible and maybe expand on how that's actually done? Thanks.
I had a user ask about a way to highlight their filled in information. They fill-in Repair Estimates and when they have a special changes they were needing to highlight text they have filled in.
Or maybe a way to change color of text for filled in areas.
I have looked at Reader but the only text I have found you are able to highlight is the caption or static text of the form from Livecycle.
Not sure where else to look.
Thanks

I created a form in LiveCycle with expandable fields and other lovely features now our VP is saying he can't open it on his Blackberry. This is a disaster.
Is there any way to get this to work?
I'm creating forms for use in a clinical office which has multiple addresses and multiple practitioners. For several of these forms, the address of the office needs to be present in several locations. I have set up my forms so that at the top of each form is a series of checkboxes containing the addresses of our various offices. I cannot figure out if there is a way to make it so that once an address is checked at the top of the form, other text fields in the form will be auto-populated with that address information, rather than having to type out the address separately.
The purpose of creating the forms is to save time and the more a form can work for us the better. I am working on a computer with Acrobat 8 LiveCycle Designer and I am not particularly skilled with JavaScript, so I would need pretty specific answers on this one. Is there a way to link the checkboxes to the text fields so that when someone checks an address, that information will automatically show up in the proper places on the form?
I would like the user to be able to press a save button on the pdf and the "Save As dialogue box" pops up pre-populated with a file name and location choosen. The user can then choose to name the file something otherwise or select a new location. I would just like to save them the steps of copying the field data and finding the correct folder (deeply buried on server) however to place the finished document in.
This doesn't seem to require a trusted function, but how do I suggest the file name based on a field name in the document. And how do I suggest the folder the document should be saved into?
Thanks in adavance.
I have a very frustrating issue with a form I'm creating. It's a dynamic form that has the ability to add instances and optional sections: https://www.dropbox.com/s/df65vuilji72z5y/expense_form_test.pdf
I want people to be able to email me a PDF copy of their filled-out form as well as print a hard copy to be submitted with receipts etc. I understand this means I need to open the form in Acrobat and save a reader extended version (Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable additional features). However, doing so corrupts the form so that when the document is opened, instead of showing only one instance of the first repeatable object, three are shown, and the numbering is also corrupted: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6gnwr43egyqcj0r/expense_form_test_extended.p df
I'm at a loss. As you can see the structure of the form is relatively complicated and I haven't been using LC Designer long so it's driving me nuts getting to the final hurdle and having a problem with something that seems like it should be so simple..
Any advice would be much appreciated!!
I am trying to show a subform when a radio button is clicked. Here is the code I am using:
if (this.rawValue = 1){
DEXA.presence = "visible";
} else {
DEXA.presence = "hidden";
}
if (this.rawValue = 2){
Fluoroscopy.presence = "visible";
} else {
Fluoroscopy.presence = "hidden";
}
if (this.rawValue = 3){
Other.presence = "visible";
} else {
Other.presence = "hidden";
}
I am having a couple of issues. One is that the radio button isn't showing it's active, and the second is that although the first subform (for DEXA) appears, the second subform (Fluoroscopy) doesn't show up when clicked. I have been working on this for hours, so any help would be appreciated!

Hi All.
Noob.Person1[Scott] needs a bit of syntax help.
What's the correct way to handle the "l" and "f" variables in the loop below? It doesn't like the f(i) business.
if (xfa.resolveNode("ExpenseClaim.Page2.DistanceRecord.TableKM.Row1["+ro wNum+"]").Locations.Location1.rawValue != null
{
l1 = xfa.resolveNode("ExpenseClaim.Page2.DistanceRecord.TableKM.Row1["+row Num+"]").Locations.Location1.rawValue;
l2 = xfa.resolveNode("ExpenseClaim.Page2.DistanceRecord.TableKM.Row1["+row Num+"]").Locations.Location2.rawValue;
l3 = xfa.resolveNode("ExpenseClaim.Page2.DistanceRecord.TableKM.Row1["+row Num+"]").Locations.Location3.rawValue;
l4 = xfa.resolveNode("ExpenseClaim.Page2.DistanceRecord.TableKM.Row1["+row Num+"]").Locations.Location4.rawValue;
l5 = xfa.resolveNode("ExpenseClaim.Page2.DistanceRecord.TableKM.Row1["+row Num+"]").Locations.Location5.rawValue;
for (var i=1; i<6; i++)
{
if (l(i)== 15)
{
var f(i) = Locations.Location.item(i).somExpression;
xfa.host.resetData(f(i));
}
trip = distance [l(i)] [l(i + 1)];
this.rawValue = trip + trip;
}
Thanks.
I'm a fairly new user to LiveCycle. I created a performance appraisal review form in LiveCycle v9.0, yet it takes almost 2 minutes to open. The files size is showing only 333KB. Other forms I've created do not take very long at all to pop open. I have no idea how to begin to diagnose why this is happening. Any help is greatly apprecaited.
Is there a way in LiveCycle ES to create a hyperlink to a location in the same PDF without using XFA ?
I need to be able to mimic the gotoNamedDest that is available on non-XFA documents which allows page navigation using Hyperlinks ( not buttons or XFA code )
Thank you

Hi There,
I have a script that checks if a subform is visible. If it is visible then a text field becomes required. That part works fine now. When prompting the user I want a custom message to be displayed - something user friendly not a list of field names. The default error message associated with the nullTest property says "vendor1 is required" - that is not good enough.
So I added a line to customize that alert. Now I am getting both alerts on my test. First my custom alert (script below) and then the default alert.
a) Is it possible to prevent the default error message associated with the nullTest property?
or
b) Is it possible to customize the content in the default error message associated with the nullTest?
If none of the above are possible, is there another way to write the code to make a text field required on the visibility condition and output a custom alert?
Current Script:
if (comparativeBids.presence == "visible") {
this.validate.nullTest = "error";
xfa.host.messageBox("Please enter a vendor name on line 1 of the Comparative Analysis section.", "Comparative Analysis Required", 0, 0);
}
else {
this.validate.nullTest = "disabled"
}
Hello,
I have been using ES2 LC Designer to create XFA forms. More users want to use iPads to open these forms. I understand forms created on ES2 are not compatible with iPads. I also understand that ES4 Designer will allow rendering of these forms to HTML5 and allow them to open on iPads, but I am having trouble obtaining information on exactly how to acquire ES4. Here is my question:
I am a single-point user (not an enterprise). I would like to purchase ES4 for the sole purpose of rendering my ES2 forms in HTML5 to make them compatible with iPads. Am I able to purchase this product, or is it only for enterprises? I see that it involves downloading a server. Is a normal PC sufficient for this, or do I need access to an elaborate (and expensive) server system?
Thank you.

How do I allow an end user to save form after they've filled it out? I understand this can be accomplished using the distribute function where you email the form to people. We don't want to do that. We want to put it on a website and allow them to access it, open it, fill it out, then save a copy to their hard drive (with the data they entered visible). I have searched the forums and cannot seem to find a solution for this. Thanks, in advance!
Hi everyone,
I have a form with custom validation. If the user checks a box a subform becomes visible. Only when that subform is visible a couple of its fields should be treated a required. I was able to achieve that with the script below except that all validation is triggered for that subform at the same time. I would prefer one error at a time. So if vendor1 is null the prompt alerts the user, highlights and focus on that field and no other required alerts should come up. How do I stop the validation after the first null error is triggered?
Validate Event of vendor1:
if (comparativeBids.presence == "visible" && this.rawValue == null) {
app.alert("Please enter a vendor name on line 1 of the Comparative Analysis section.")
this.fillColor = "255,232,230";
xfa.host.setFocus(this);
false;
}
Validate Event of vendor2:
if (comparativeBids.presence == "visible" && this.rawValue == null) {
app.alert("Please enter a vendor name on line 2 of the Comparative Analysis section.")
this.fillColor = "255,232,230";
xfa.host.setFocus(this);
false;
}
etc.
