Can a list box object flow? My form uses one as the user adds attachments the file names appear in the list box. When too many files have been added to be visible in the size of the list box, a scroll bar appears. Can I have the list box flow instead?

Why would pasting text from Notepad expand text object?
I noticed today that after copying a paragraph from Notes to Designer (commonly done to remove embedded garbage from Word), the text object increased 1" in size and pushed the box to right where the subform ends on the right. The expand to fit was not selected. I thought this was odd that the object did not retain it's Y value.

Changing the visual appearance of an object
Hi all,
I am working on a form with a textfield in it. My goal is to add a script that will change the appearance of the textfield from a sunken box to none when the field is not empty. Note that I am not changing the border of the field, I am altering the appearance of the object. The reason I am doing this is that the form is going to act as a template, so when the user exits the field after typing their text, I want to remove the appearance of the sunken box so that the textfield looks the same as just text.

When Saving reader extended pdf, instances are added.
I have a form that looks and works as expected in Adobe until I save it as a Reader Extended PDF. Once I do that the form adds instances to the subform above and beyond the defaults I have set.
The form has a repeating subform with repeating rows. The default amount of subforms is 9 and default rows is 2 for each subform. However once I save it as a Reader Extended PDF the first subform defaults to 18 rows. The subsequent 8 subforms are correctly displaying 2 rows.
Any ideas.
I can send the form if possible...

The subform is not configured to be repeatable
Hi,
I've been trying to configure repeating rows for one of the tables in my form. I have 2 tables on the page and I was able to configure the 1st one to repeat with the add/delete button. Somehow the 2nd one keeps telling me that the subform is not configured to be repeatable. I've recreated all the rules/actions I put in the 1st table, but it still won't let me.
Please help!!

Calculating Years and Months
I want to have a field that will calculate out the years and months a person has been employed at my business. I know the calculations for getting the years is:
if (HasValue(dob)) then
var currDate_ = Date2Num(currDate.formattedValue, "MM/DD/YYYY")
var dob_ = Date2Num(dob.formattedValue, "MM/DD/YYYY")
var diff = currDate_ - dob_
$.rawValue = Floor(diff / 365.25)
else
$.rawValue = null
endif
I want to find it put out so it says 5 years 3 months if that is possible, or something close to that.

Copying values in a repeatable subform from a dynamic table into a summary table
I have a repeating subform continaing various text boxes and a table where rows can be added and deleted. When the add new button is clicked to repeat the subform, I would like the information entered in the table to remain instead of a new blank one.
Is this possible? Any suggestions as to how I would go about this?
Thanks in advance for any help.

How to turn off the spell checking warnings?
Hi, it's kind of pissing me off that I have one warning for every single text field in the form that says:
"Spell checking does not support this locale".
Is there any way to turn off that specific warning and not all of them?.
Thanks!.

How do I create expandable text form fields on this form?
Situation: I am tasked to convert the above document designed in MS Word 2010 into a dynamic fillable pdf form.
Background:
- I edited the MS Word document so that the sections that need to be fillable have text boxes.
- I converted the Word document into a pdf document.
- I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro to 'Create PDF Form'
- I formatted all the text font and font size to the Times Roman, size 12, per our facility requirements.
- In Properties of these text fields, I checked Multi-line and Scroll long text.
Assessment:
- I watched the video http://tv.adobe.com/watch/acrobat-x/creating-expanding-form-fields/ and still am having trouble with the next items.
- When previewed, the text fields allow for several lines of text, the scroll bar appears, but when I click outside of the text field, no plus-sign appears.
- I found and launched the LiveCycle Designer application that came with Acrobat X Pro and I have never used it before.
Recommendations: I hope someone can guide me to completing this dynamic form by:
- Recommending changes to the form so expanding form fields will work.
- Recommend other resources to learn more about LiveCycle Designer.
Thanks,
MNez

Making subform visible one at a time with add button
I have a form in which I would like to make subforms visible one at a time with a button click (add button) and if the (remove button) is clicked, remove the subform. I can not do a repeating subform because these subforms will also calculate a value that will be displayed in another field (however that will be discussed on another post).
Thru the action builder, I was able to get the 1st subform as well as other objects to become "visible" by clicking this button however, I can not make the 2nd subform visible by doing this because it will appear at the same time the 1st subform does and I do not want that. Therefore, I would like to write a script that once the 1st subform is completed, it check to see if the "add button" is clicked or the "remove button". If the add button is clicked, the next subform appears. If the remove button is clicked, the last subform is deleted. If neither is clicked, just carry on with the form. Can someone else me with the correct syntax to get this done?
This is the line I have up the exit of the 1st subform:
=
"visible";
Problem is, when you click anywhere outside of this subform, the 2nd subform appear. I want the user to click on the "add button" in order for the 2nd subform to appear.
this.resolveNode("Anchors.Line2").presence

How to automatically update the binding references?
Hi, I got a form with lots of linked data to an xml file. Let say the author of the data file suddenly decides to change some field names. That results in me, the Designer document author to spend several minutes fixing the binding to the "new" xml nodes.
If the document is extensive enough, this taks can become a pain in the ***..
Is there any way to automatically tell Designer to use the new name or something?, or is this doable only through a macro using js?.
Thanks!.
(Also, since Im new to Designer, it would be nice if anyone could share some best practices about this, I'm sure I'm making lots of mistakes and wasting time caused by inexperience alone).

Row1 is null when adding new row
Here I have a little problem with my table...
When I'm trying to add a new row using this.resolveNode("Table.Row1").instanceManager.addInstance(1);
It pops me an error such as:
TypeError: this.resolveNode("Table.Row1") is null...
This error pops up once I have 2 rows... it can't add a third row....
If I write :
this.resolveNode("Table.Row1[0]").instanceManager.addInstance(1);
It will add a row no problem. BUT the problem is when I save the form and reopen the form... there's only the first row (Row1[0]) and it's data that is showing up on the form...
Anyone knows how can I fix this?

Export Data Field Order
I've created a form with a number of text fields, pull downs, check boxes, etc. It is saved from Acrobat as a "Reader Extended PDF" so users can enter data and save.
When I use Acrobat to "Merge Data into Spreadsheet" the field order seems bizarre. It's not alphabetical and it's not based on the tab order.
Anyone know what determines the field order?
Thanks.
