Hi there,
I currently use LC Designer ES2 but am trying to get the company to upgrade to ES4.
Are there features from ES2 that might not be supported in ES4? Basically, should my ES2 forms convert to ES4 OK?

Radio button creates mandatory field
I have a form that has several radio buttons and corresponding Comment boxes.
When the user chooses the No radio button, I want the comments section to become mandatory.
So I wrote
if (RadioQ2.rawValue=="2"){
Q2.mandatory } In the binding tab, the No item has a value of 2. RadioQ2 is the radio buttons and Q2 is the comments for question 2. This works for No, but also gives the same message for Yes (which = 1). I am certainly not a programmer by any means, so what I have is probably not correct, but I hope I'm sort of close! Thanks for your help, Gretchen

Livecycle logic scripting problem
Hi Guys,
I'm trying to find a script to find the following for the 'overall' rating on Page 4:
1. If ANY (at least one) Quality Area has been rated as ' Working Towards National Quality Standard'
then the Overall rating should read 'Working Towards National Quality Standard'
2. If ALL Qualtiy Areas have been rated as 'Meeting National Quality Standard' then the Overall rating should read 'Meeting National Quality Standard'
3. If ALL Qualtiy Areas are at least 'Meeting National Qualtiy Standard' and at least four (4) are rated 'Exceeding National Quality Standard', with at least two of being Quality areas 1, 5, 6 or 7, then Overall rating should read 'Exceeding National Quality Standard'.
I dont know the best script to do. ive tried to include a Min() script for the no. 1 option in the calculate event of the Overall textfield but this doesnt work. I've also tried to use the logical 'OR' statement, it doesnt work.
What can I do?
Thanks for your help
The form is found here:

hiding unchecked checkboxes
Created form utilizing table format,. Form consist of 18 rows. Below is a sample of my form
Here is my scipt on the show checked items button
All works fine until I decide to add another text row between a text row and checkbox row. sample below.
Now when I click the show checked items, everything works fine until I reach this new text. Then it ignores my script and show the items that are checked and unchecked. By inserting this line, it seems to throw off my script. What do I need to do? Below are my results.

How to put all fields into one form ready for XML
Hi,
I have created a PDF document through LiveCycle which will be sent out to external companies to obtain their company details. I have an e-mail button at the end of my PDF which sends me an XML file I am then importing this file to Microsoft access 2007. The trouble is I have many small tables in my PDF that when I import the information to access its putting these tables and other subform pages as separate tables.
Is there a way I can tell my PDF/XML file to put all the information into my main form so that when i import the details to access it only creates one table?

IF Statement Calculation Total
I'm trying to create a LiveCycle form that we can use to record our truckers miles and corresponding pay data. To save some explaining, here's a screenshot with my setup:
I am having trouble with the formula to automatically calculate the Total Miles @ $0.35 from the lines above. Note: the first 4 data lines above are not a table and the data will vary from entry to entry. In this example, I would like the Total Miles @ $0.35 to show 4,000 (because that is what the data above indicates).
Here's the formula that I've come up with from researching the internet:
TotalNumMiles35.rawValue = IF(LineOne.Rate.rawValue eq "0.35") then + LineOne.Units.rawValue + IF(LineTwo.Rate.rawValue eq "0.35") then + LineTwo.Units.rawValue .....and so forth. Adobe does not agree with my formula!!!
I am trying to write this form using the FormCalc method. Basically, what I'm after is: IF the value under Line1 Rate = 0.35, then include the value under Line1 Units to the total in Total Miles @ $0.35, and IF the value under Line2 Rate = 0.35, then also include the value under Line2 Units in the total... If someone could help with the initial formula I should be able to figure out the rest for the different options (Total Miles @ $0.45, Total Labour...etc).
Thanks in advance for any help. My knowledge with LiveCycle/Adobe is almost zero...
Thanks,
Mark

Adobe LiveCycle Designer working with 2 drop down list, one response triggers the other
I am fairly new to Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2, but I would like to have a drop down list of managers and another drop down list of employees.
I would like this set up in such a way where the manager can click on their own name in the manager list and have a drop down list appear which is only populated with their directly reporting employees. They can then click on the individual employee they are going to report on.
Then there will be several questions pertaining to the individual direct report, etc. (This part I can do)
Is this possible?
If so, please provide detailed instructions for me to try.
Thank you in advance.

Trying to use code found in working PDF from online in LC. (Keystroke Event)
I found a PDF online (at http://www.planetpdf.com/developer/article.asp?ContentID=javascript_dy namic_updates_w) that works on my iPad running PDF Expert for iPad 5.0.4.
I tried to recreate it in LiveCycle ES4 using the same code. However, the author says to place the code in the "keystroke" event. I can't find a "keystroke" event. I've tried it and variations in change, preOpen, and exit without any success.
Can someone help me?
This is the exact functionality I need and the only example that I have seen work in both a PC environment and an iPad (running PDF Expert).
Thanks!
Dan
The code can be found at: http://www.planetpdf.com/developer/article.asp?ContentID=javascript_dy namic_updates_w
The sample PDF can be found at: http://www.planetpdf.com/codecuts/pdfs/Populate.pdf
I am specifically looking at the code in the dropdown box called "Three" - which is captioned as "Dynamic"
Code follows:
==========
/* This version updates a secondary combobox based on the entry
** selected by the user dynamically. The keystroke event should
** be processed until the value is about to be committed (as
** indicated by event.willCommit). */
if (!event.willCommit) {
var f = this.getField("Four");
f.clearItems();
/* In a keystroke event, event.change contains the non-export value of the item selected by the user. */
switch (event.change) {
case "Cities":
; f.setItems(["Paris", "Berlin", "Amsterdam", "Rome"]);
break;
case "Fruit":
; f.setItems(["Bananas", "Mangos", "Strawberries", "Papayas"]);
break;
case "Garden Tools":
; f.setItems(["Hoe", "Rake", "Leaf blower", "Shovel"]);
break;
}

Dynamic forms on Mobile devices?
I have some dynamic PDF forms I have been designing in Livecycle designer. I would like these to be viewable/savable on Mobile devices. Sounds like an easy request. Research indicates I need the entire livecycle suite to do this? Please tell me it isnt so!
As a side note, I have installed the livecycle ES4 suite on a weblogic application server on Windows Server 2008 and its a real pain to use and get to work properly. I really hope I dont need to keep going this route for such a seemingly simple need. And if so, can I get some help setting it up so that I can provide proof of concept to my bosses who may choose to purchase it ONLY if they can see it work in a development environment first?

Repeating table header - dynamic table
Dear Community,
i have a problem with a dynamic table, which does not show the table header on the second and following pages.
Perhaps someone finds a solution for this problem. The footer is repeating without a problem.
Here's the xdp file, which is causing the problem.

LiveCycle form/can't delete comments in Acrobat
I have a workflow that requires the development of forms in LiveCycle (using Designer ES2) - but in the review process also requires highlights to the specific words/items that have changed. We save the LiveCycle form as static PDFs, and then we highlight the relevant items in Acrobat X. You can open the marked-up version in LiveCycle, and even though you get a warning the highlights will remain. Today's problem was:
Worked on form in LiveCycle
Saved as static
Highlighted relevant items
Oh, no, discovered an error - opened marked up form in LiveCycle
Made changes, incl. moving previously highlighted text to new location
Saved again as static
Opened form in Acrobat
Could NOT DELETE previous highlight to account for replacement of text. Had big comment field with no text where it had previously been placed. It would look like we deleted it, but when we saved, closed, and opened the form again in Acrobat - there it was again.
The ultimate work-around was to open the form in LiveCycle, save as dynamic (and thereby removing all higlights), open again in LiveCycle, save as static and then reapply all highlights in Acrobat.
This has not been a problem before. Any suggestions? Also, any suggestions for a more efficient workflow that includes highlights?

Creating mandatory field when form is visible only
Hi,
I'm creating a form that has around 25 pages inside it. The main page has a dropdown list which allows the user to select one of the 25 pages and once selected the specific page goes from hidden to visible. (They are originally all hidden). Each of the 25 pages contains radio buttons and I want to make them mandatory fields when the page they are on is visible and not hidden. How do I do this? I searched through the forums but I could not find a step by step set of instructions for those that are not very tech-savvy with LiveCycle. Is there an action builder function I can use? if not, what script do I need and where/how do I enter it? I am inexperienced with script and would appreciate lamens terms.
Thanks in advanced

How to distribute subforms across pages without splitting them?
Hi, I got several subforms placed in 4 or 5 pages, what I'd like to do is to show them in a way that if a subform can't be shown in a single page (there is no chance a subform will occupy more than 1 page height) then that subform to be palced at the start of the next page, isntead of being cut and split into the previous and the next.
Do you know how to do this?.
Thanks!.

LiveCycle and Excel Data
I am relatively new to LiveCycle and I have looked across the forums but haven't found solid answers to what I am trying to do therefore I was wondering if someone is able to answer my questions:
1. Can you setup a LiveCycle for so that it will read from a set of Excel data files (or converted CSV/XML files) at the time you launch the PDF with a LiveCycle form in it. We intend to create Graphs and Charts from the data and wanted it so that for these to be updated, all that needs to happen is that the data files are overwritten with a new set of data. Can LiveCycle do this, or does the data get embedded in the PDF at the time that the PDF file is published??
2. Could you put the PDF onto Microsoft Sharepoint and have the data files in a document library and then have the PDF form read the data from these files within the document library?
Thanks for any help with these questions.
