I have created a fillable PDF form using Adobe Livecycle ES2. End users need the ability to paste into the form fields content that they have copied from Microsoft Word, keeping the original Microsoft Word formatting (including bold, underline, italics, paragraph indents, and especially tables). Of course, when they paste into the fillable PDF, all the formatting is stripped out. How can we overcome this problem? Is there something I need to do to the form fields to make them accept the formatted text and retain the formatting, or is there something that the end user needs to do when copying and pasting? If there is no way to retain the formatting, what is your recommendation for a solution or workaround? Thanks.

Removal of Space within Address lines
I have fields for each of the address parts but no way to bring them together based no the length of the city name. I end up with a big gap if the city name is short or not enough room if its long. How do I bring the fields together to eliminate space on address lines?
Text Fields:
Name
Address1
City
State
Zip
Example (current way prints):
Johns Auto Body
1234 Main St.
Los Angeles, CA 90045
Example (how I need it with space removed):
Johns Auto Body
1234 Main St.
Los Angeles, CA 90045

Submitting form automatically when the device comes online
Hi Guru's
I am developing an offline adobe form that can be opened, filled and submitted on a mobile device like ipad.
I am adding a submit button to submit the form. When the device is online submit works and when offline appropriate message is displayed. I was wondering if device or reader submit form (previously submitted offline) automatically again. Is there any mechanism to check if the device is online again and send the pending forms automatically?
Thanks in advance.

ES4 HTML Preview Issue
This question was asked before but the answer did not help me. Where do I find the Server URL for HTML preview? My install was local to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES4. Will any server path work for this? (I did not do the install so I have no installation documentation. If the answer to this question is in the installation documentation, I can have the install tech look for it.)

Cancel preSign
The signature field on my pdf form continues to fire even when the person signing selects "Cancel" on the dialogue box first to appear. All code in the preSign/postSign events fire properly if the use wants to sign. However if the user doesn't want to sign I need to prevent the postSign event from firing. Any ideas?

Require input conditionally
I've created a form with sections that require input based on whether or not a user has entered a title for that section. However, I cannot get my the script to trigger a message box prior to submitting the form (using a custom button). Basically, if the user enters any value for field1, they should be required to enter a value for field2
This may be a simple error but my experience with Javascript is limited.
form1.#subform[0].Button1::mouseDown - (JavaScript, client)
if (xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform.TextField3")>"0" && xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform.Reason_NatureofChange-1")=="0")
{
//xfa.host.messageBox("Please enter a Reason/Nature of Change for every change section submitted.")
}
Thanks in advance

Remove last row in table
I have a form that I allow the user to determine how many rows will be displayed in a table. I am using a drop down list and use the following code. I would like no table rows to display when zero is selected but the last row is always displayed even when zero is selected. How can I remove the last row.
var iRows = xfa.event.newText;

email address determined by radio button
Hi all!
I am trying to code some javascript that depending on the radio button I choose will determine which email address my form goes to. I think I am close but I am missing something. When I click the email button it always moves the radio button to position 1 and we only get the 1st emails. Here is what I have.
var oDoc = event.target;

oDoc.mailDoc({

PDF overall limit?
Hi =)
I'm working with LiveCycle ES4 on a pdf that has now 2,29 MB. Is it too much?
I have a lot of code written in javaScript.
I'm asking this because now I have unexplained errors in the code.
The "same" code works in some places and doesn't work in others. Is this a thing? LiveCycle has a limit?
Thanks =)

Drop-Down List Local Unbound Data Source
I am very new to LiveCycle, and I am working to create my first form.
Long Story:
The form will be in PDF format, for offline use by employees completing the form. The form uses JavaScript asthe default code language. I have a repeating subform containing three (3) fields, all of which are Drop-Down Lists. The first is a 'plain text' description of an item code, the second is the item code itself, and the third has information about the item. I have an access database containing the information from which I exported to XML for deployment to the employee computers so that it can be updated as the lists change. The selection from either the first or second column should complete the others based on the information in the XML file. On the Data View palette I did the following:
New Data Connection
Named it 'Codes'
Selected Sample XML Data
Selected the File Location for the XML file
Clicked finish
The data connection shows up in the palette as expected, but in the Hierarchy it changes my form name above master to the data connection, and breaks the code references of the form. I am not binding my form back to a database for data storage, but do intend to allow the users to save the completed form locally.
Short Story (or summary):
1.) How do I set Drop-Down Lists to reference a datasource without changing the existing data structure of the form or other fields?
2.) How do I set one box to update another based on this selection?
I have read many posts about this topic, but none of which seemed to me to address the question at hand. If I missed the one that does, I apologize and would appreciate being pointed in that direction.

Have you found any software comparable to Livecycle Designer?
I am curious to know if there is any software out there that is able to create dynamic pdf forms like Designer. I know there are a lot of pdf creators but I am curious to know if there is anything that is able to layout forms with all the different field types that Designer does? I am just curious as my employer is asking about what options we have for an upcoming project.

Repeating Subforms within Tables and Subforms
Hi, again =)
I have another question.
I'm working with LiveCycle ES4 on a xml form (xdp).
In this form I have a table with a repeating subform within a row. And inside this subform I have another repeating subform.
It works like this: the first subform contains data of a category and the other subform contains data of a subcategory.
There can be multiple categories and within each category it's possible to have several subcategories listed.
Ok, having said that, my real problem is this one: I can set the header of the table to repeat itself each time the table breaks to the next page but I want the category to repeat also in case the parent subform breaks and I can't.
I tried a billion things to make this work, like putting a table inside a table. But I cannot make both headers to repeat themselves.
Can anyone help me with that?
..I have also another question: How can I prevent the silly single header that has no rows attached from appear in the bottom of the page?
Thanks again.
This community has been very helpful! =)

How to create a submit or save as pdf button?
I am rendering my forms as HTML forms using form manager and viewing them in the browser, on the desktop and on android smartphones.
The problem is, it seems like the only way to save your entries from these browser-rendered forms is by printing (CTRL+P) which screws up the layout, it will make a 1 page form break in half and print on 2 pages and things like that.
So, is there a way to save these html forms (once filled out) as a pdf again and keep the layout intact? How about a "Submit" button that at least saves the filled form?
