Here's my dilemma.I have a form with a radio button list. The list is located in one section of the form. There are two options available. It is currently set so the user has to select one or the other button. I need to add the ability for the user to deselect a radio button in this section if he/she didn't intend to complete this section. How do I do that? I'm not real familiar with adding JavaScript codes to forms so step-by-step instructions would be really helpful.
Thanks!
I have set up my table to add rows by a button and it breaks pages. How do i get the rows to count automatically starting with row 1. I have set the number cell to 1 and all the rows i add are 1, i need them to count,1,2,3,and so on.
I have two DDL
DDL_A
Items:DepartmentA, DepartmentB
DDL_B
Items: 1233215000, 5672006000 (I have lots of numbers that starts with 123...Total 10 digits and lots of numbers that start with 567... and so on)
How I can force the user if they select a number that starts with 123.. from DDL_B the display item for DDL_A always will be:DepartmentA
Thanks
Hello,
I am using Livecycle Designer and am trying to edit an existing form.
I have no problem editing in the design view and master pages, however there are certain texts on the preview and printed form that are only viewable in the xml source (that's the only place I can see them anyway!!).
However when trying to edit the xml source to change these texts I get an XML Source Error popup and cannot save change.
'The following error was found with the xml source'
'Invalid property set operation; cache doesn't have property '#text''
Don't know what this property '#text' is or what the error refers to. I can't find anything online about it. Could it be a setting in form property - I've tried changing some of these but no joy!!
Any help greatly appreciated.
Deep.
Hello Everyone,
I have a regular button on the form with (Save as and Subform.access = "Protected") code written and on click of it, I am showing a messege box as "Do you what to save" with "Yes" and "No" options. When I click YES it opens a Save window and ask for the location to save. This save window has two button Save and Cancel. Upon hit of a cancel it executes a the "subform.access" code in click event.
Can anyone help here?
Thanks,

Hi all,
I think similar questions have been asked before but I have not found an answer.
Here's the scenario:
I have several dynamic tables in a dynamic form. The layout is flowed, and everything can grow and shrink as needed. That all works.
However, my tables have headers. Occasionally when one of these tables is large and needs to break across multiple pages, there will be just enough room at the bottom of the previous page to show the next table header, but not enough space to show any of the related table rows. So it ends up looking silly, with just an orphaned header at the bottom of one page, and then the table continues on the next.
I have my tables set up so that headers get repeated on subsequent pages, by setting the header row to "repeat row for each data item" on the binding tab. I would like to keep that functionality, but I just want to find a way to avoid these "orphaned" table headers that sometimes appear.
I have tried the "keep with next" option. However, although this does push the rendering of the header to the next page, it seems that according to livecycle the table still officially began on the previous page. Therefore I get a duplicate header because of the "repeat row for each data item" option.
I have also tried having two header rows, one that is set to only be displayed on the initial page, and the other that is set to appear only on subsequent pages (pagination tab). This did not work - I ended up with duplicate table headers.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
Hi all,
I have a strange problem that I'm having trouble getting to the bottom of, relating to my dynamic form.
This form grows and shrinks depending on how the user fills it out. I have a questionnaire section where certain questions are hidden or shown depending on previous input.
Things get interesting when I look at the tab order. Sometimes when tabbing forward or backward across page breaks, the focus lands on a spot that I cannot identify. There will be no cursor and I can not type. However if I continue to tab in the same direction, I can see that it is still going in the correct sequence. It just looks like for some reason, in those places, focus is put in the wrong component. But if I type different input into the prior fields (ones that affect the length of the pages) that causes the field to move to different place where it's not adjacent to a page break, and then tabbing to the field in either direction works fine. It seems that only when it's beside a page break, it becomes problematic.
Also, it only seems to be a problem if the field gets moved to be adjacent to a page break AFTER the form is initially rendered. If the field was originally beside a page break by default, then it seems to work fine.
Just to rule out a possible problem with the tab order configuration, I set my from to Automatic tabs, and even went as far as removing all the <traversal> elements from the form.
After doing either of those things, the problem still persists.
Has anyone seen this before?
Hi,
I am currently developing a form, where my master page contains 5 logos on top of each other.
This is the setup in the hierarchy.
In "DATA::ready:form - (JavaScript, client)"
I run this code:
// Client spesific logo setup
xfa.resolveNode("form..IM_CUST_LOGO_1").presence = "hidden";
xfa.resolveNode("form..IM_CUST_LOGO_2").presence = "hidden";
xfa.resolveNode("form..IM_CUST_LOGO_3").presence = "hidden";
xfa.resolveNode("form..IM_CUST_LOGO_4").presence = "hidden";
xfa.resolveNode("form..IM_CUST_LOGO_OTHER").presence = "hidden";
The same after, just visible when different conditions are met.
My issue!
This works in the PDF, but just on the first page.
What i thaught worked
xfa.resolveNode("form1.#pageSet[0].Page1.IM_CUST_LOGO_1").presence = "hidden";
It did not 
With maybe a loop, to go thru the pageSet[0] (if it worked).
Any help, please?
Hi =)
I'm currently making a form in Livecycle Designer ES4 that is supposed to be filled in and signed by several users. The workflow is like this:
Phase 1: Phase 2: Phase 3:
-> ->
user 1 fills subform 1, user 2 fills subform 2, user 3 signs*** and keeps the final document
signs* and sends to user 2; signs** and sends to user 3;
And I'm struggling with Phase 2 because user 2 modifies the form and the first user's signature becomes invalid.
Note:
* locks fields of subform 1
** locks fields of subform 1 and 2
*** locks all document
I want user 1 to be responsible only for the content in subform 1 and the other two users to be responsible for the entire document.
Is this possible? If so, how can I make this work?
..can someone help me?
Thank you =)
Is there a way to get two fixed-size text fields on one page to continue filling expanding text fields on a second page? The two fixed-size fields cannot expand on page one, or push down content at the bottom of the page. When the first block of fixed text fills, the customer wants the text to continue in an assigned, expanding text field on the second page. Similarly, when the second block of fixed text fills on page one, the customer wants the text to continue in an assigned, expanding text field below the first expanding text field on the second page.
I have tried several combinations of "Place," "After," and "Overflow" on the Pagination tab. I can't figure out if I should be targeting the content area designated on the master pages, or if I should create subforms on the first and second pages and somehow link them. I thought that might be the ticket, but the subforms I create don't show up as options under the dropdown lists for either "After" or "Overflow."
Is this concept possible, or have I been wasting time trying to figure out how to do something that cannot be done?
When I select the preview in HTML5 tab in Designer, an error states that I must verify my settings under options/server options. It appears that the Server URL setting should be http://localhost... which is what I have. My operating system is Windows 8 and I have setup the IIS 8 local server to function. I have rebooted the machine several times but that has not changed the result.
The port is set to 8080 and the HTML preview context is set to "lc/content/xfaforms/profiles/default.html". Is it possible these settings could be wrong. I have not been able to find sufficient guidance on these data settings.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Hello,
I'm trying to create a newsletter using LiveCycle that will allow me to select certain names from a list to be displayed for our awards section. I'd like them to be dispalyed side by side with commas between each name. Similar to an email "to" box, only it will dispay student names rather than email addresses. Is this possible? Would I use a list box?
Thanks!
I've been trying to solve a specific problem from the bottom up, but perhaps someone else has a better idea on how to structure the whole thing, so it might be more useful to describe what I'm trying to accomplish.
I have a dynamic table with a single text field. One entry per line, and users can add as many lines as they need. The data that's entered into that table at the beginning of the form needs to be used in multiple dynamic tables throughout the rest of the form.
Ex (yes, not real code, just illustrating the format):
Table 1 - Widget
<textfield>widget</textfield>
addRow deleteRow
Table 5 - Size
<dropdown>widget</dropdown> <textfield>size</textfield>
addRow deleteRow
Table 8 - Cost
<dropdown>widget</dropdown> <textfield>productionCost</textfield>
addRow deleteRow
So far I've been able to pull the values out of table 1 and pull them into a dropdown list in table 5, but any attempt to turn the dropdown into a global data object breaks everything, and the coding is complicated enough that it's not terribly feasible to create 30 functions in the document to individually pull the same data into each table's dropdown list. I was thinking maybe an embedded XML schema could be populated on the fly from table 1, then the dropdowns could be bound to that internal list for the list items, but I have no idea how to create that sort of setup. Everything has to be self-contained within the form, so I can't send it to an external database and then call it back in.
My other option is to just dump the most common choices into the dropdown and let the user enter anything unusual, but I know from experience that results in some widgets not being entered in later tables because the user forgets exactly what they added to this specific form.
Hi Experts,
I have a requirement wherein I need to populate values in my Table row depending upon the value of another text field.
The problem is when I use this line of code var rsize = xfa.resolvenode("MyForm.SubForm1.Table1.Row1[*].UOM") in the change event of say Field1, it returns 0 on accessing rsize.length whereas the same line returns 5 which is the desired value on initialize event of Table1.Row1.UOM.
How to get this thing working? I need to use similar lines of code in 5 fields i.e. need to access and assign values to table rows dependimg upon change events in 5 different fields.
I am new to Adobe forms and stuck up with this since a long time. Let me know what is the ideal way to get this thing working. And where do I put my javascript code if the dependency to fill the row values is on some other field.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Hello,
I'm a Mediadesigner from Germany and I started to work with Lifcycle Designer about a year ago.
I already made some smaller forms with different fields.
Now I have a special form with empty image fields, that allow the user to put in his images.
For the form goes out to so many different people, some of them just take the images as they are, load them into the form and so the filesize of the pdf grows. For your information: the filled out pdf will be sent back to us by e-mail.
So here is my question: is it possible to reduce the filesize of that images when it is loaded into the fild or when the filled in form is saved.
For example that I can say: "Take all images and make them 72dpi and max. height 500px"?
Thanks for your help in advance!

Like image:
Thanks for the answers.
I'm using some version of LiveCycle 8.2.1 . I have text fields on my master page. When users use the form, they input their text and are allowed to save their document but when they reopen the document later, the text is gone. This only happens for the documents on which I am using text fields on the master pages so I am missing something but have been unable to find any documentation about this. Text input into the text fields is gone when the document is reopened. The text fields were added to the "master page" of LiveCycle.
Hello. I am looking for recommendations for a LiveCycle training course. I'm looking to learn more about adding JavaScript to forms. Also, a refresher LiveCycle course wouldn't hurt either. Thanks!
