I have a xml database that has some information which is loaded into a drop down menu on my form. While I am in Live Cycle Designer and use the pdf preview, the dropdowns populate correctly and show what is in the database but when I open up the form in Adobe Reader, the dropdown show null. How can I remedy this problem?

Problem using image via URL
Hi everybody
I have a problem with loading images via URL into my PDFs.
I am using LCD ES2 Version 9.0.1....
I want to create a PDF which loads images from the internet but it does not work.
So far I have tried to add an image or image field to my PDF in the LCD and populate that image using the Object-->Field-->URL: palett. I put the URL in there like this http://www.adobe.com/imageshome/pdfgift_home.gif , tick the "embed image Data" checkbox (also tried with without that just to be sure) and save as Dynamic PDF (I also tried static) but when I open the PDF in adobe reader 9 or 10 or acrobat 9 there is no image showing. I also put the image in a subform and made that subform flowed, as well as the page itself and made the binding global.
I have the form properties - default set to "Acrobat and Adobe Reader version 9.0 or higher", Default Language to JavaScript, PDF Render format to Dynamic PDF.
I also tried using JavaScript events like "form:ready ImageField2.value.#image.href = "http://www.adobe.com/imageshome/pdfgift_home.gif" as discribed here http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/tips/lc_dynamic_images.p df but that also does not work.
What am I missing?
Any help would be great and greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks and best regards
Norbert

How to remove all instance in a repeatable subform (bis)
Hi Niall,
A few years ago, you helped a user who asked "How to remove all instance in a repeatable subform". Please could you do again with approximately the same problem ?
In a click event, I have the script "_CarteEN.addInstance();". Well ! Many cards appear. To protect them, I put above a mask (it's a button with a background Fill). Now, how can I do to remove all masks with only one click using the resetdata or anything else...
I try this but it doesn't work.
while (flowedSubform.CarteEN._CacheCV.count > 2)
{
flowedSubform.CarteEN._CacheCV.removeInstance(1);
}
Many thanks for your help !

Some usage rights have been applied pop-up
When I edit a form in livecycle I often get the pop-up:
I just click Yes and continue on, however; a coworker of mine is using fields from the forms to populate into an application they have built and cannot get passed the pop-up. Is there any way to disable the pop-up or something I can set to stop it? Thank you for any information you can provide.

LiveCycle DropDown Objects
I've imported a MS Word template into Livecycle including the drop down fields. However when the drop down field is chosen it automatically fills in the drop downs in different areas of the form. The fields all have the same name however they are to reflect different processes. Does anyone happen to know how I can stop this from happening?

Beginner Problems - How to sum drop down lists in a table
Hi,
Please forgive my newness but I'm creating a table with 10+ rows and columns and need to sum the colums. The user is expected to select a number from a drop down list and I would like to sum those nbumbers up at the bottom of the column, seems simple enough...
I have named each cell in the bindings tab but can't seem to find the right sum script. I just started using livecycle and have had a good experience up until now.
I wish it was like excel where you just need to click or highlight the cells you want to sum and be done with it but I can't seem to find the easy button...
Cant you just highlight a column, name it and then use that name in a sum script?
Thanks so much for any help and I've looked around but can't get a grip on this one so I apologize if it's been asked before.
Go easy on me.

Flowed Subforms Not Flowing
I just recently upgraded to LC ES4 and decided to take a crack at creating a form from importing a MS Word doc.
After some heavy editing I started testing and have subforms running into each other.
Here's the details:
2 Master Pages, 1 specifically for an instruction page.
All Top Level subforms set to Flow, with Allow Page Breaks Within Contents checked
All Tables set with Allow Page Breaks Within Contents checked. Even the rows are set with Allow Page Breaks Within Contents checked
All expanding text boxes set to Allow Multiple Lines and Expand To Fit Checked
Document has been saved as a Dynamic PDF
The issue seems to reside in the Tables, even though the rows are expanding, they are running into the subform beneath them.
Am I missing something simple about Flow and tables, or is there something I should have done when setting this up?
Thank for the help - I really could use the insight, cause this has got me stumped.

make form READ ONLY when saved
Hi all,
New to LC and trying to finish up form. Trying to make form READ ONLY when it is saved (but can be changed by the creator.)
I.e creator fills out form and must submit via email. when recipient gets filled out form, recipient can not make changes.
I have seen a few examples where a button might be used but does anyone have code to do this automatically, when "save" button is clicked it saves and creates read only file. The creator would have to be able to go back in and make changes.
Any help would be great...code, or point me in the right direction with form that does this already?

Allowing user to set password for form?
I have a performance evaluation form that has been rights-extended so users can save data typed into the form, but the users would like to be able to set their own passwords for security purposes. Is there any way to do this? My last resort I guess will be to just tell them to zip the pdf file into a password protected zip file, but I feel like there must be a way to script something in the doc:ready event??
Thanks,
Jo

Drop down selection not saving
Hello,
I have a form with a drop down placed at the bottom of the page, as a name selector, same as "page 1 of # ". The main content of the page is wrapped in a subform and has entry lines that may dinamically extend the form from one page to more pages, however, the name selector from the drop box will stay on every page, same as "page 1 of # ". The problem that I am encountering is that the selection of the drop box will not be saved. When the file is reopened the selection shows for a short second then resumes to blank. Any ideea on how to allow the selection to be saved?
Thank you! Jessica

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...

JavaScript help needed to check postback
Hello,
I have a simple purchase order form connecting to an Access DB. I want it to open as a blank form but when the user clicks the save button, I want it to query the DB and display the record they just entered so they can print or update. I am a dotNet developer but don't know javascript very well. Seems like this should be easy but I'm struggling to find any info. I have the addNew() event scripted for when the form loads so I get an empty form but that overrides the event to pull up the last record after save. Is there a way to check for postback with javascript?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Unable to add watermark
Have the LiveCycle ES2 software and a previously created PDF to which I am attempting to add a watermark. The form is being stored as a static PDF form and it's form detail is being filled by a java application using iText libraries.
Attempted using the Acrobat Pro tools>pages>watermark options and receive a message stating, "You do not have sufficient permissions to perform this task."
LiveCycle help states that watermarks should be placed within the content area of the master page. However, it seems that anything in the master page is displayed over the form/rest of the document.
Created a .jpg image and added an image object containing the graphic. The graphic is displayed over the detail of the completed form. Also tried using an ImageField object as well with the same result.
Read a post that directed adding a TextField object with the desired text, color, etc and altering the rotation with javascript. Still had the same problem with the text displaying over the form data and the javascript didn' function as expected. The object rotation is initially 90*. Attempted to set it to 45* (not certain if that was a valid angle) and 270* (which is valid). Neither attempt worked.
Would expect that a defined 'watermark' would be displayed under any other content of the page(s) and surprised that it is this difficult to accomplish. Seems I am missing something.
Assistance would be greatly appriciated.
