I have a subform whose initial count is one. I can add more, save and they reappear as expected. However, if the form filler decides to remove all the subforms, when the form is reopened, the subform instance reappears set to the initial count. I want to allow the user to remove all the subform instances if they don't have applicable data, and for the choice to be remembered. How do I do this?

Page not aligned with margins, how can I move it?
Hi All,
My form has seen a lot of edits over the last few months, and at some point, the 'page' (JHA) moved outside the margins of the content area, and I can't figure out how to move it back. I'm using ES4, all software updates completed about a month ago. Here is a screenshot to show what I mean:
The 'page' is not centered, and is outside the content area/margin on the right edge (and inside it on the left). Why? and How can I fix it?
Thanks!!!!!

Format Date Field As: Day Name/Month/Date/Year
Is there a way to validate a 'date' field so it displays a date as: Tuesday, July 5th 2016 instead of 7/5/2016? Even if the 'day name' is abbreviated (Tue instead of Tuesday) is fine. I can't seem to find out how to format this way. Also, most of the date formats also have a time value associated with them. I don't want/need the time in this field.

Make Invisible Field Required When Visible, Not Required Otherwise
I am experimenting with the presence values and how I can better use the hidden and invisible settings. I've managed to make my invisible fields visible when needed, but I cannot determine how to conditionally control when those fields are required.
For example, I have a field that is required by default. When that field is invisible it is still required, which is a problem. Ideally I'd like to be able to set the invisible fields as required when they are visible (depending on action triggers which make them visible) but not required if they remain invisible. Does that make sense?

How do I calculate the shaHash for an xsd connection?
How do I calculate the shaHash for an xsd connection to match the one saved in livecycle designer es4?
This shaHash looks like a base64 sha1 hash, but it does not match the file's sha1 hash (calculated with tools on the web or in c#), nor does it match the hash of the document's root
It looks like either a salt is used, or the xml is changed by livecycle before the hash is calculated.
<connectionSet xmlns="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-connection-set/2.8/">
<xsdConnection name="DataConnection" dataDescription="Document">
<uri>..\Correspondence.xsd</uri>
<rootElement>Document</rootElement>
<?templateDesigner fileDigest shaHash="dMPda1HmsbZtjFmzcTl7XaWa4tE="?></xsdConnection>

Reset individual pages
Hi,
I am using Adobe Livecycle Designer ES4. I have a multipage form. I need to be able to reset each individual page on the form separately instead of the entire form. I have placed a ‘Reset Button’ on each page but this resets all the pages of the form. Is there a way of just having it reset the individual page when that reset button is used?
Thanks.

how do i limit a textfield to specific alpha characters of one entry but in a textfield that needs to have a limit of two spaces in order to allow for a two-letter combination?
I want to force the user to limit the entries in a textfield to use only four single alphabet entries (E, C, W, or A), in addition to a two-letter alphabet entry "na". I have a textfield with a limit of two characters. Right now, it is possible for the user to incorrectly enter two of the same alpha entries. How do i restrict the user to entering just one entry, while at the same time allowing the user to enter the "na" entry?

LiveCycle Dynamic Table disappears after flattening
Hi ,
I am using Assembler Service to stitch few fragments into one file. and later this file will get flattened using Output Service.
lets say we have fragments called frag1.xdp, frag2.xdp, frag3,xdp and a template called MainTemplate.xdp , this has the subform with an insertion point.
The Assembler Service will stitch these fragments into MainTemplate and creates a PDF.
In Frag1.xdp and Frag2.xdp - I have similar kind of JavaScript to populate Dynamic Table based on the value of a input variable. Below is how it is.
varable V1 = "aaa|bbbb|ccc|ddd~eee|fff|ggg|hhh~iii|jjj|kkk|lll
variable v2 ="rrr|sss|ttt|uuu|vvv|www"
in Frag1.xdp the table has 4 columns to dynamically populate, So the Javascript get the V1 value and split it with '~' for each row and then split each row with '|' for each column.
in Frag2.xdp the table has 2 columns in which only 1 column (Column2) is dynamically populated, So the JavaScript get the V2 value and split it with '|' for each row and add the split value to column2 in each row. and column 1 is a checkbox and it will have the same default value 0.
The issue is :
when this form is generated using Assembler service and opened as a PDF file, both Fragments will have the dynamically populated Table values.
and then when this form gets flattened - only Frag1 retains the dynamic table values and Frag2 will have only one empty row.
To fix Frag2 JavaScript issue, i tried so many things and was unsuccessful in resolving the issue.
Below are few things i tried:
1. Since Frag1 and Frang2 has similar javascript and the fact that they both are different xdp files, i tried to mimic the form properties (file-->formProperties) from Frag1 to Frag2. like changing the JavaScript default run at "Client and Server", Default PDF Render Format to "Static PDF Form" etc.
2. I tried repeating a SubForm instead of Dynamic Table.
My Thoughts on this so far:
I am thinking somehow Frag1 is able to retain table values before it goes for flattening and Frag2 is not retaining the table value and goes to flattening, As after Flattening the file JavaScript wont execute. I am not able to figure out whats causing Frag1 to retain values and Frag2 to not retain values.
I appreciate your response.

Resize colums when adding new Column
I created a Table with an add-button to add new columns
But to fit the columns on the page, i added a script to resize the columns.
It works, but not for the first column????
All other columns are copies of the first, so how is this possible.
Does anyone has an idea and solution?

How to delete a blank page?
Dear readers,
My first experiences with this Adobe tool (LC) ended with some frustration about handling blank pages. The story behind: When inserting a new page to an originally single sided document, this new page is inserted above. How can I insert a new page after the current one?
When copying an object from the (old) page via Ctrl+C and inserting this object by use of the shortcut menu item (Paste) into the just created blank page, another blank page with this object is created after the original page. How can I insert an object into the just created blank page in front of the document?
Or, better idea: How can I delete the empty front page as this page does not contain any object? LC answers with (sorry for German dialog box):
Maybe it's helpful to know: I am using the LV including the Master page that contains 3 objects.
Thank you for any hint to solve this issue.

How to suppress red highlighted Required Radio buttons?
Dear forum,
When grouping two Radio buttons to select "Yes" or "No", these field Value got the Type ""User Entered - Required" as I wanted to force a selection. Unfortunately, all required fields appear in the Preview PDF (and the final standalone PDF form) with a red frame to highlight that this is a required field. But I do not want to highlight this neither with a red rectangular nor with other colored elements but leave all highlighted objects in that light blue background that is created from the Adobe PDF Form toolbar.
My current workaround is to set the field Value to "User Entered - Recommended" but this is not what I really want to have.
Any idea how I can suppress that red color mode?
Thank you for reading and solving the problem,

Datepicker and future dates
I work with court forms and ES3. Some future dates are +20, +30. Unfortunately, LiveCycle's built-in date field provides a date picker that understands a year where the last two digits are over 30 as "193x" and not "203x". How do I get around this?

Accessibility on user created 'tab strip' control
I've created a form that uses 'tabs' that I've created to organize the document. Great. Basically each tab has graphics, a button to detect the hit, and a hidden checkbox to remember state.) Under each tab of course is specific content for that tab.
Now I need to make this form accessible. It seems like this tab strip is my sticking point.
Any ideas?

Is there a way to edit a document created in LiveCycle Designer in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC?
I work for a university who use to have LiveCycle Designer and Adobe Acrobat Pro. Recently, with the upgrade in Adobe to Creative Cloud, the university took LiveCycle off of our computers and now are offering Creative Cloud and Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to us staff in terms of programs for edit fillable documents and layout.
My dilemma is: we have many documents that were created on LiveCycle that we now cannot edit in Acrobat Pro DC because the programs do not work together. Is there a way to convert these old documents into editable PDFs for Pro DC?

How to pull a field value into the Save As dialog box
I have very limited script skills, but I was able to find how to create a button on my LiveCycle ES3 form to open the Save As dialog box. I would like to take this one step further and have the Save As file name be populated with values from a couple of fields within the form, like the date and ID number, so that the user only needs to press the save button. Is it possible to create a script in LC for that? If so, any suggestions on how?
Thanks!

Rendering HTML5 Date fields with Validation Pattern issues
When I render a form in HTML5. the date field is not behaving the same as PDF. I can use the date picker to select a date or type in a date. The only format that I am allowed to type in is YYYY-MM-DD. I tried to use the Validation pattern options but still get the same result. Can anyone verify if the validation patterns are not working in HTML5 like PDF?
Also the examples from Adobe show date fields without the image of the calendar. When you click on the field the date picker appears. See LiveCycle Help | Experience the Mobile Forms capabilities , the forms HTML5 rendition do not show a calendar image. I have not found an option in Designer to remove that image.
