XML database not loading
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?
Can forms creation be automated ?
Is there a way in LiveCycle to automate the creation of Objects at Design time ? Not a Dynamic form.
I need a way to create a table (or other Objects) with multiple Rows based on code !
Example: I have an Excel document with multiple rows and columns & need to create a simple form
Question | Answer | Comments |
Did you like the Product | Yes, No | |
On a Scale of 1 to 10 | ## | |
Other Comments | | |
What I would like to do is write code that automates the whole process ( I will write the translation from the spreadsheet to code ) .
The code should be similar to
1. CreateATable ( "Table1", #Rows, # Columns, xPos, yPos )
2. Table1.Row0.Cell1.Text = "Question" ; Row0.Cell2.Text = "Answer" ; Row0.Cell3.Text = "Comments" ;
3. Table1.Row1.Cell1.Text = "Do you like the Product"
Table1.Row1.Cell2.ObjectType = DropDown.Field ; Row1.Cell2.ObjectValues = "Yes", "No" ;
Table1.Row1.Cell3.ObjectType = TextField
etc.
** This code will run at Design time to allow extra formatting. Need the form to be XFA.

Custom Actions / Scripts
I would like to augment the Action Builder with custom Action Results, e.g. "Display a Message Box with the following message". Looking at the subdirectory in application's root there is a ScriptTemplates folder with the body for each script that comes with Designer, but this does not allow me to populate the dropdown list with new selections.
The validity of the document certification is unknown
I have a form that is digitally certified by a signature anchored to the Adobe CA. When the form is first opened, the blue bar appears and states that the certificate is valid. However, after the form is submitted to a server and remerged, the blue bar displays "The validity of the document certification is unknown". However the signature is still valid, as it can be revalidated by going to Sign -> Work with Certificates -> Validate all signatures in Adobe Acrobat XI. How can I stop this from happening?
Email Submit - Set Message as High Importance (Priority)
I've developed several forms in LiveCycle that I have customized the subject, message, from, to, etc.
Is there a way to set a message as high priority in the Submit button's click event? (So, when received in MS Outlook, the message is marked as "High Importance"?)

Question on validation
Hi Guys,
I have been trying out Adobe livecycle ES4 designer. I am wondering if it possible to reject the value that the user has input in a numeric/decimal field after it has fail a custom javascript validation. For example, the field has a boundary validation from 1 to 1000 and its original value of 10. The user changes the value of the field to 1111, the current behavior is such that there will be a validation error message however the value 1111 is still "accepted", Is it possible to revert the value to 10 once the new value fails the validation. i have tried using xfa.event.prevText and xfa.event.newText, however at the validate event, both xfa.event.newText and xfa.event.prevText return empty,
What could be wrong with this resolveNodes / for script?
Hello, I am stumped and would greatly appreciate some help here.
I have a table that has the ability to add additional rows.
Each row includes a "delete" button to clear the row.
I'd like to hide the "delete" button when another button is clicked.
There are a variable amount of rows at any given time, so I can't target the button directly.
I have used the "for" method before, but it doesn't seem to be able to find the nodes in this case.
My hierarchy looks like this:
form1
- productSubform
- - productJobTable
- - - productJobRow
- - - - deleteBtn
my Javascript looks like this:
var nodes = form1.productSubform.productJobTable.resolveNodes("productJobRow[*]");
var len = nodes.length;
for(var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
nodes.item(i).deleteBtn.presence = "invisible";
}
Can anyone see what could be wrong here?
Thank you in advance.
How to use Reader Extensions - or do I need Livecycle?
I'll start with saying that I am totally new to Livecycle. I've downloaded a demo of Designer to see if it helps with some of the processes I am currently doing in Acrobat.
The only tool I really NEED from Livecycle is the ability to have the end user attach a file in Reader. This would be managers attaching supporting documents for employee evaluations.
I've found that this can be done with Read Extensions but I have no idea how to enable my form to use these or how to even start.
Where can I get a tutorial for this process OR is this more than I need to be doing JUST to have attachments enabled in Reader.
Thanks!
Form Content structure and Formating
I have created form and on this form is a table that I have created a button to add table rows as needed. Under this I have a subform that contains needed information at the end of the table.ie signature area. What i would like it to do is as the user adds rows, when it gets to the subform the subform will move to the next page if needed and stay belwo the rows. Also how do I get the Header information or top 4 rows of the table to repeat on the next page?
So my hierarchy is as follows
Page
Table
Subform
Currently what happens is as rows are added they go over the subform and onto the next page. The subform moves to the new page but is under the table.
See screenshots.
What do I need to do to get this to work the way I want or can it even be done?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dynamic PDF's for Mobile Devices
I have been converting my company's forms to dynamic pdf format using ES4 to facilitate completion and submission by our highly dispersed workforce. These forms are unfortunately not accessible on the mobile devices our field employees typically use. Can anyone suggest resources that a layman can use to learn about and utilize ES4's mobile forms and HTML5 capabilities? All the information I have located on the Adobe website appears to be oriented to programmers or developers, and my (small) company does not have the financial resources to engage a consultant for this purpose. Thanks in advance for your insights and suggestions.
Dynamic PDF expandable text fields contents jump around, inserting blank pages
Urgent! Please help. I have a form built use LiveCycle Designer 8.2. There're a lot of text boxes (Evalution Comments Section) that're multilined text field.
It's expandable now, but there're 17 of those. When pasting long text into those boxed, the text seperated and mixed to each other.
The subform flow is messed up, e.x. section 2 goes after section 14. When text field does not expand, the flow is ok.
The hierarchy of the form is:
Main Page
SubForm1 (Flowed, allow Page Breaks within Content. Pagination: Keep with Previous, Following Previous, Continue Filling Parent)
Multiline Text Field1(Allow Multiple Lines, Allow Page Breaks within Content, Keep with Next)
SubForm2 (Flowed, allow Page Breaks within Content. Pagination: Keep with Previous, Following Previous, Continue Filling Parent)
Multiline Text Field 2(Allow Multiple Lines, Allow Page Breaks within Content, Keep with Next)
....
....
.....
....
SubForm15 (Flowed, allow Page Breaks within Content. Pagination: Keep with Previous, Following Previous, Continue Filling Parent)
Multiline Text Field15(Allow Multiple Lines, Allow Page Breaks within Content, Keep with Next)
Hyperlink to a Page in the current document ? LiveCycle v8.2

Issue While printing / Previewing a Adobe form in Web Dynpro ABAP application
Dear All,
We have designed 4 different adobe forms using SFP transaction for 4 different countries in SAP system.
Every country have different terms and conditions and therefore we have placed static texts (Hardcoded text) with text in different styles. Some text is in bold, some in different font (Bold, Italic). Font and Paragraph settings of the text was done as per expected. All the forms have same font and paragraph settings.
When we Launch Web Dynpro ABAP application to open the form in Print preview or to take print, form is not getting displayed / printed as it is designed in SFP. But if you open the form in SFP, everything looks fine.
It is working fine for 3 different forms but problem with only 1 form.
Kindly guide what is the reason for this strange issue when previewed or taken print. It is very urgent.
Thanks,

Designer crashes when opening form
We have a form that was created with Designer, but I am no longer able to open it for editing. When I try, I get the error that LiveCycle Designer has stopped working. The last time I needed to update the form was about two years ago, which I was able to do without any issues. The form still opens and works fine in Acrobat, but I need to make a couple of changes to it now.
I'm using LC Designer ES4 (11.0.0.201303031.892433), and I'm able to edit other forms without any problems.
The form is at http://www.sussexcountyde.gov/sites/default/files/PDFs/Employment_application.pdf, if someone else could see if they also have the same issue when trying to open it in Designer?
Thanks for any suggestions!!!

Setting visibility of a table to visible/hidden
I am creating a PDF form in flowable format that utilizes a lot of check boxes that when they are checked they show visibility of sub-information that is initially hidden on the main interface of the form. I can create action conditions ie (when checkbox 1 is checked) with a result ie (set the visibility of 'object' to visible or hidden, depending on whether I am checking or unchecking the form to show or remove the sub-information). The 'object' I can set to be a text field, check box, drop down list, radio button, but NOT a table as a whole. I need to be able to show and hide whole tables on my form. You can set the object to be a cell of the table, but after setting individual results to set the visibility of all cells to hidden, when checking or unchecking my checkbox above the table as a whole will not completely show or hide, checking the checkbox appears to do nothing to the table. I am not familiar with java scripts, but does anyone have a trick to achieve what I am trying to do or a java script to when a checkbox is checked or unchecked to result setting the visibility of a whole table to visible or hidden? THANK YOU!

setFovus on Subform NOT! textfield
You can use xfa.host.setFocus("Subform1.childsubform.textfield1"); to place focus on a textfield/object element inside subform but does anyone know how to setFocus on a subform?
Tables
How do I send data from dynamically created table rows to an access database? I can't bind the fields to the database because they don't exist until the user creates them when interacting with the form. Do I create mutiple rows, bind those fields to the database, then hide all the rows except one? If yes, what script can I use for the button to "Add a New Row" (make one of the exisiting hidden rows visible)?
