This is something so basic in a word processor...but I cannot figure it out for the life of me. I have a "textbox" which in essence needs to flow over 3 pages. I created the three textboxes...set the source to the same name...now how to I get them to link together so the text can flow from one to the other to the other as text overflows the box?

Table rows functionality with passing data and instances
My form setup is as follows:
I have several check boxes overlaid on an image. Each box will have several actions associated to it (more on this in a minute).
I have a Table that will take in some data, depending on what check boxes are checked and unchecked.
Several things are happening as follows:
A table is setup with the following headers and respective rows - vial#(txt), location(txt), area(txt), amount(dropdown), price(dropdown), cost(calculated - eval(amount * price)).
When a check box is selected the following actions ensue:
location and area are filled with text values [ Condition: when box FR0 is checked; Result: set value of location to be some text, value of amount to be some text, set vocus on amount ]
When a check box is unselected the following actions ensue:
all fields are set to null.
NOTE: this actions work great with the first checkbox.
Now the issue at hand:
When the next checkbox is selected, what should happen is this: a new instance of the rows should appear, location and area should be automatically filled out in same manner as above and focus should be set on amount.
What happens is this: a new instance is created, focus is set on amount, but the 2 fields are not populated as in above example.
Next: When the other checkbox is unselected, the following should happen: the latest instance should dissapear and all cell values of last instance should be null.
What happens is this: the last instance goes aways but all the vlaues on original row (text only) also are set to null.
Now I know this setup is a mere issue with how I have my Table and subforms setup. So here is the setup of the form (also note images):
Row1 is under a Subform Values_subsection. Type: use all subforms in order / Binding: repeat section for each data item
Row1 has: Allow page breaks with content / Binding: repeat row for each data item
So where am I going wrong?
Thanks for all the help and suggestions in advance

Making a selection visible when picking from a dropdown
#Good Day All;
I am putting together a form where I have a dropdown that contains 3 choices. When one of these choices is selected from the dropdown, a table becomes visible for the user to complete.
The issue I have is when the user selects from the drop down, the table does not become visible unless the user clicks inside the drop down again.
I have tried a “click and the exit” event and came up with the same issue.
The following is the code I am using. I would appreciate any help with this.
Chomp
if (this.rawValue == "5") {
term_select.presence = "visible";
}
if (this.rawValue != "5") {
term_select.presence = "hidden";
}
if (this.rawValue == "6") {
temp_select.presence = "visible";
}
if (this.rawValue != "6") {
temp_select.presence = "hidden";
}
if (this.rawValue == "7") {
act_select.presence = "visible";
}
if (this.rawValue != "7") {
act_select.presence = "hidden";
}

Problem with Printing Images in a Form
Hello!
I am currently working on a form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer. The form has a few PNG images with transparent backgrounds included in it as part of the design of the form.
When I save the form as a dynamic XML PDF, the images appear fine. But when I print them, they don't look right and appear as artifacted blocks of color.
All of the images are 300dpi 8 bit RGB PNG images. I have tried embedding the images but it doesn't make a different when printing. The strangest thing of all is that the the logo prints correctly, but the other images do not, and they all are the same format.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks so much!
Best Regards,
Ashley

Add a column with a button?
Hello again!
I am currently working on creating a form and my employeer requested an added functionality that I am not sure is possible in LiveCycle.
We currently have a 2 column layout, but he wants to include the ability for the user to click on a button and add an additional column for comments.
I have seen video tutorials and threads about the ability to add rows with a button, so I know that much is possible - but can you do this with columns as well?
Thanks so much in advance!

How Can I Word-wrap a Value?
How can I force a selection in a drop-down menu to word-wrap in the value portion of an object? I can achieve my desired result in the caption portion by increasing the height of the object. However, when I increase the size of the object, the value portion does not wrap.

For example:
John Smith is the diplayed name and the rawValues are his email address and authorized spending limit (5000).
jsmith@emailaddress.com, 5000
If yes, I want the 5000 dollars to appear in textfield1 and the email address in textfield2. How do I access them?

Help with writing Javascript to uncheck checkboxes.
New to Livecycle and Javascript so any help would be appreciated.
I created a form with a table of about 35 rows that consist of various interview questions. From this list an interviewer would check which 5 questions they plan on asking, click a button and it hides the unchecked boxes, then they can print out the page with their 5 choices. Then I would like them to be able to click a button and reset the form - showing again all of the checkboxes and none of them selected.
I have created a simple javascript to hide the rows of checkboxes that are not checked and then to also unhide them. The problem is when I unhide them, the 5 boxes I checked still show up as being selected (have an X in the box). Would like some help on the javascript to uncheck these boxes.
I am new at this and I know there probably is an easier way to accomplish it then my script.
Here is a snapshot of my form. Each question box is in a row with another row directly below it for data input
Here is the Javascript on the Show Checked Items button.
Here is the javascript on the Show All button

Javascript Wildcard for Repeating Row
Hi there!
I have created a dynamic form using LiveCycle Designer ES3. In one subform I have set up a table with a Text Field. This field is nested within the table in a row titled "Reasons" and this row is allowed to repeat (Figure 1) if the user clicks the "Add Another Reason" button (Figure 2).
Figure 1
Figure 2
Notice in Figure 2 that the "Reason" text field has a red border indicating that the field is required.
Elsewhere in my form, there is a check box. If the user checks this check box, then the "Reason" field in Figure 2 becomes disabled, nullified, and no longer mandatory. However, when the user clicks "Add Another Reason" and there is more than one instance of the "Reason" text field (indicated below in Figure 3), then checking the aforementioned check box does not work. Therefore, what I need is some javascript "wildcard" to account for this repeating row, and subject this row to the same actions (disabling, nullifying, removing mandatory requirement) that the first row has.
Figure 3 (the check box mentioned above has been checked, but the 2nd instance of "Reason" below does not respond to the javascript that works fine on the first instance of "Reason")
I know with FormCalc you can use [*] as a wildcard to account for unknown instances of an object, and I have used this function successfully elsewhere in this form, however I do not know how to do this same type of function with JavaScript. Please help.
Thank you!

Designer ES2 and Word 2010
Hello fellows,
I have Adobe LC Designer ES2 v.9.0.0.2.20120627.2.874785 and I am experiencing 2 problems related to Office 2010:
1. The Designer does not find Word 2010 on my computer although it's installed. This is a known issue, and it requires installing a Service Pack 2 quick fix or modifying the registry manually.
I downloaded the quick fix from the Adobe support page but when running the patch (for 9.0.0.2.x versions), it says that it does not match the installed version or cannot find it.
2. Even if I manually fix the path to Word 2010 in my Win7 registry, LC Designer crashes when importing a Doc. file (it happens when the Designer almost completes the import operation). I tried importing docx, doc, and rtf files - same result.
Do you have any suggestions on how to solve these 2 issues?
TIA!

Image field problems
I developed a dynamic pdf form in LC ES2 in which users could insert a jpg or other graphic file into an image field. Now using LC Designer ES4 and Acrobat XI, when a user selects the graphic file to insert, nothing is rendered on the screen or document. The pdf form is using an xml scheme. The image field has the folloiwng attributes: visible with default locale, embed image data is selected, field expands to fit original image size, binding is to "Use name", and nothing is slected in import/export binding. So what can I do so that a user can import a graphich file into this form? Thanks.

creating subforms
I wonder if someone might be able to assist me with subforms within Adobe LiveCycle designer?
My scenario:
I am in the process of developing a new PDF document this is the first time i have used subforms which contain additional details. I have a pick list box which i have added some script to that says when a particular value is selected open subform however if its not a certain value keep the subform invisible.
for example:
If someone selects the code TXS it will open the subform
If someone selects TRD it will keep the subform invisible.
What I would like to be able to do is continue to add in my fields over the top of this subform so that if someone selects TRD the form continues to flow. However if someone selects TXS to open the additional questions it will move the other fields down a page.
Any help anyone can give would be great!!!

How to make presence visible or invisible of a textfield
I have a list of textfield, i use itextsharp (C#) to valorize them.
For example i valorize the textfield: "topmostSubform.Page1.codice_articolo_0" with:
form.SetField("topmostSubform.Page1.codice_articolo_0", "value ");
form.RegenerateField("topmostSubform.Page1.codice_articolo_0");
if i valorize the textfield, i must make it visible, else if it has no value, i must make it invisible.
For every textfield i add this script:
topmostSubform.Page1.codice_articolo_0::docReady - (JavaScript, client)
if (this.rawValue==null){
if (this.presence=="visible")
this.presence="invisible";
}
else {
if (this.presence=="invisible")
this.presence="visible";
}
But it doesn't work, i have all the textfield invisible!
How can i resolve?

49:xfa:... oOriginalNode is null
When dynamically adding a row to a table using Javascript I get the following error message...
oOriginalNode is null
49:XFA:form1[0]:validationState
(repeated around 5 times)
This error comes from code that Adobe adds to the top of my code. It seems to be around removing tooltips. Seems to be a bug. Is there a way to officially report this to Adobe?
Good news for me is that the code blows past this and keeps running - whew!
