Actually i had written it in Javascript then i thought it is simple summing so i did it in FormCalc.

Good thing is it is working ..

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 23 May 2013 12:20:42 GMT

Vjay's solution works great! Essentially, take out all of your other programming on the individual fields, and hard script the field you want the sum to show on. By directly referencing the fields, Adobe is able to tell the difference between one instance and another and doesn't get them mixed up. (I have found for some of these dynamic functions, the Action Builder doesn't really work, so you need to code by hand)

My only suggestion, would be to perhaps modify Vjay's code a little, and use Javascript instead of Formcalc. We have run into the problem where if a user is using the form from a webserver or something and hasn't actually been saved to the user PC, the Formcalc scripts won't run, only Javascript. But it all depends on how you are using your forms.

Here is your line of code changed to Javascript, in case you want to make that change. (there's really not much difference at all)

this.rawValue = sum(CustomerTimeBD.Row1.Cell1.rawValue + CustomerTimeBD.Row1.Cell2.rawValue + CustomerTimeBD.Row2.Cell1.rawValue + CustomerTimeBD.Row2.Cell2.rawValue + CustomerTimeBD.Row3.Cell1.rawValue + CustomerTimeBD.Row3.Cell2.rawValue + CustomerTimeBD.Row4.Cell1.rawValue + CustomerTimeBD.Row4.Cell2.rawValue + CustomerTimeBD.Row5.Cell1.rawValue);

When a user applies digital signature then it is for the entire document (not a specific section of the document)

That's not entirely true; you can specify collections, and have the digital signature only apply to specific collections. That way different people can sign off on different fields of the form.

Worst case senario, we will just have the users sign twice, or just have the second signature field changed to a text field that reads something like "Original copy signed" when the first signature field is signed off on. However, I'd really like to get it so that signing one field automatically signs the second field as well. This will better mimic the usability of the form from paper carbon copies to a digital format.

I hope this clarifies somewhat.

varundua replied Re: Edit Patterns not reflected in the XML of a submitted Form

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 23 May 2013 10:25:21 GMT

Forms always submit the rawValue not the display or edit value. Display and edit values are only used to display the value or accept the input with some formatting from the user. They are never submitted to the server

If you need to submit the display/edit value of a field say NumericField1 you need to have a seperate (hidden) text field TextField1 and in the calculate script of TextField1, you need to write

NumericField1.formattedValue ( or NumericField1.editValue

When the data will be submitted, TextField1 will have the value you require and you can use that.

George Florentin replied Re: Best place to store a big XML.

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 23 May 2013 08:15:16 GMT

Here is my situation more detailed:

I have a form with a schema binded to it's fields.

I have 4 dropdowns and a text field. (the text field is the last one)

I have a global variable which contains an XML.

I have some JavaScript functions which parse the XML and extract data (with XPATH) to populate the first drop down.

When the user selects a value from the dropdown, I extract again data from the XML stored in the global variable to populate the 2nd drop down and so on until the last field.

Everything is at the client side, no servers involved yet.

What I need is a place to store my XML from which I query data to populate my dropdowns. The Global Variable has a limit of ~32.000 chars and a text field has a limit of ~30.000 chars.

My production XML has > 100.000 chars.

Unfortunately I cannot give the XML, because it contains personal data.

Write the foll. formcalc script to get the number of days in a numeric field. You can write this script on exit event of the second date time field.

// form1.sf1.DateField2::exit - (FormCalc, client)

form1.sf1.NumericField2.rawValue = Date2Num(DateField1, "YYYY-MM-DD") - Date2Num(DateField2, "YYYY-MM-DD");

Hope this helps.

Hi Boscobenko,

Do you have Acrobat also?

If so...

Once you have finished your development in Livecycle, you can open the file in Acrobat and then go to

File>SaveAs>ReaderExtendedPDF>Enable Additional Features...

As I understand it this should reapply the additional features you originally had on the form like signing, adding comments, allowing whole PDF submission, etc.

I'd save under a different file name initially to test out if that gives you the solution.

I hope that helps.

There is some difference between the usual paper and ink signatures and digital signatures.

When a user applies digital signature then it is for the entire document (not a specific section of the document)

You might change the flow to copy the content to read-only section and ask users to apply digital signature on both the fields (though technically it is not needed)

It means the integrity of the document has been broken.

Applying Reader Extensions is like applying digital signature with some allowed changes , If any changes are made to the document that are not in the allowed list (if document is tampered) then the reader extension signature would break.

What changes have been made to the document? Please elaborate on how the document is created and what all changes have been made to it before it got in to current state.

EvoM2 created Presence of child objects different to that of parent subform creating a validation error(ES2)?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 23 May 2013 02:57:48 GMT

Hi All,

I've been able to change the mandatory state of an object based on its visibility like:

//javascript

//currentObject is passed as a var to this code in a function

if (currentObject.presence == "visible")// if the object is visible then make it mandatory

{

currentObject.validate.nullTest = "error"; //make mandarory

}

else //else if it's not visible it must not be mandatory

{

currentObject.mandatory = "disabled"; //make it non-mandatory

}

This is okay if this is applied directly to the object as it's reading just the specific objects presence.

The problem I'm experiencing is if there are multiple fields in a subform and using an action I'm hiding the subform based on a condition (also working fine),

but when I go to validate the form on submit or with execValidate(), the presence state of the of the subform (hidden) is not cascading to the child fields in the subform.

That is, the subform and all fields contained herein are hidden on screen (works fine), but when I go to submit the form it is failing validation because these fields inside the subform are somehow still maintaing a presence of visible.

I've tested this with a dialogue to show me the value of the presence of the fields contained in the hidden subform and they are still showing "visible".

I'm guessing logic wise I would have to read the parent object from the current object to check if the parent is visible or not. The issue will arise with a subform, in a subform containing the fields. This indicates I'd have to read the parents visibility up the branch recurrsively but I don't know how.

Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Best Regards

Ameeth Palla created Question about scripts in repeatbel sub-form objects

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 23 May 2013 01:31:01 GMT

Hi,

I am working on creating a form which has a sub-form that can be repeated as many times as the user wants to. There is an ‘Add’ button which creates an instance of the sub-form on the form, when clicked.

On the sub-form I have 5 numeric fields say a1-a5 and 1 field say b1 which is the sum of all these 5 fields.

On the Main form I have a 2 fields - say t1 and f1.

The requirement is t1=f1+b1+(sub-form instance 2’s b1)+(sub-form instance 3’s b1)+ and so on …depending on as many sub-form instances there are that the user adds.

I have created Actions using the Action Builder such that when any of a1 to a5 fields are exited, b1 will be updated with the sum of a1-a5. At the same time t1 will be updated with sum of f1 and b1.

This works great for 1 instance of the sub-form. But when ‘Add’ is clicked and a second instance of the sub-form is added, then the script does not work as it did for the first instance of the sub-form. So for any instances of the sub-form added, when values are added to a1-a5 and the fields are existed, b1 does not get updated.

How can I fix this?

See attached form that I am creating for clarity.

‘Total Hours worked this week’ is the t1 I was talking about. See how it gets updated when values are entered in any of the hour fields. It works fine with the default instance of the T100/Strategic/Advantage Customer Information sub-form as well. But when I click on ‘Add Customer’ button to add another instance of the sub-form, it does not work as expected.

Please let me know if it is still not clear and I can explain the issue.

B"H

In Acrobat XI, using a pre-existing PDF made from tables within MS-Word, with hundreds of pages – and 50 or so answers per page (school workbook style Q&A lines and tables with just the bottom line visible for the answer).

I tried first with Live Cycle and it created some of the form fields - leaving me most to create myself.

As make one page and copy the fields from page to page, the field names are the same - therefore the data in the response is duplicated. Help tells me I need to rename each form field - how can I rename all the forms at once, or must I (please say no) rename them one at a time? There are thousands of unique answers and I need a way to automate the renaming - or a better solution. How do I automatically rename 1000’s of text fields?

Someone mentioned something about creating a Java script - about which I know nothing - but is that the solution? If yes – can someone tell me how to apply the script?

Also - if I get one PDF numbered, can I copy / paste form fields from one PDF to another? Assuming they are similar in size and shape etc. just to benefit from not having to number them all again.

OR:

As these files were first opened in LiveCyle from a PDF I made from a MS - Word doc - with thousands of tables as - some were recognized in LiveCyle - and numbered OK -

Must I go back to Word - and redo the "answer" boxes in a way that Adobe will recognize it as a form?

If yes, what is the defining criteria of a form in a blank PDF?

Or - can LiveCyle make a PDF form from within a Word Doc?

The only way to combine two LiveCycle forms is in Acrobat. There is a button at the top in Arobat Pro that say "Create". Click that and select PDF Portfolio from the bottom of that list. You can then pick how you would like your portfolio to look and work, and then click the "Add Files" button. You can add as many files as you need to. The display can be customized by changing the color themes, importing a background image or map and creating a custom header. The nice thing about a portfolio is that it can contain a variety of files, not just LiveCycle forms. You can import Word files, videos, music, whatever and when the user selects a file, it will open the native program that they have installed on their computer to run it. Individual pages can be extracted and saved to the user's computer, forms can be filled in and saved back to the portfolio.

The portolio is then saved as a pdf and the total size is less than the sum of all of it's parts. It can then be emailed and opened by anyone with the free Adobe Reader. We use it to combine brochures and forms in the same pdf to make it easy for our clients to access everything they need.

Hope this helps.

Your best bet is to probably create an orchestration (or "process" in Adobe speak) that accepts two document parameters, calls LiveCycle Forms (or Output depending on whether you want to interactive or non-interactive PDF), and returns the resulting document variable.

The orchestration will return a redirect that will point you to the document object.

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 22 May 2013 19:35:32 GMT

I am working on creating a form with a "Carbon Copy" type of section on it; where the user fills out one section of the form, and it automatically duplicates to the second section.

Everything is going fine, except for the signature fields. The input section of the form has two signature fields which should be "copied" to the read-only section. I'm not certain how this can be accomplished with the signature fields.

Simply setting the value of one signature field to the value of another does not work, and signature fields do not allow for global data binding. I know that you can't un-sign a signature field without the original signing key--but since at the time of input you DO have the original signing key, is there a way to sign two signature fields at once? Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.

Yes there is a lot of code within the forms. Mostly adding instances, and changing the presence on subforms. These particular forms do not have data connections, or execute any code from a server. The script all runs at the client level.

We have support services that we have written that are called from asychnronous services. There are a bunch of services that we have written that take in a Task Result Collection, e.g. getTaskResultApprovers (Get the users who approved from the task result collection), getTaskResultData (Get the form xml data of a task result collection) etc.

We are writing JUnit tests that are testing these services, and making sure they are functioning as supposed to.

enippard1 created Dynamically adding a table at runtime

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 22 May 2013 18:32:25 GMT

I would like to create a table in a form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer and give the end user the ability create multiple instances of that table at runtime. I have figured out how to dynamically add rows using buttons. I would like to be able to do the same with the entire table. I tried wrapping the table in a subform and then allowing repeat table for each data item. But this was greyed out in the object properties box. Any suggestions would be helpful

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 22 May 2013 18:16:17 GMT

If you have Columns and Rows, why not use a Table instead of Subform..

Check the binding setting to "repeat Row for each data item".

Add the "Delete Row" button to each row in the last column.

Add the "Add Row" button below the Table.

Add Text Fields to the columns you want the data to be displayed/ modified by the user.

Hope this helps.

If not, let me know..

Thanks

Is there any code in the background that is being executed?

I'd be interested in having a look if you could post it...

Give that a shot.

Srini Dhulipalla replied Re: Best place to store a big XML.

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 22 May 2013 17:36:06 GMT

If you are rendering the form using server components, it would be better keep the data in the XML itself instead of storing it in a field on the form. You can always reference the data in the form XML in any script. There are different ways on how you can reference the data in the form XML. So please let me know what you would like to do with XML, then I can help you.. Send me the XML as well.

If you need to send a large file, send it to LiveCycle9@gmail.com.

Thanks

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 22 May 2013 17:29:00 GMT

Margaret,

The issue could be with the path you are using to reference those two fields. Check the path is correct.

Also, It would be easy to have the data to be taken into variables, before you use them in the send email function.

This way you can place print the values in the messageBox and verify if they are correct..

For example:

     var strToAddress, strCCAddress, strSubject, strMessage
     strToAddress = "name@follett.com; " + "name@follett.com;";
     strCCAddress = page1.injuredInfo.injuryInfo.descField.rawValue + ";" +
                                page1.injuredInfo.injuryInfo.gvpEmail.rawValue + ";" +
                                "name@follett.com; " + "name@follett.com; " +
                                "name@follett.com;"+ "name@follett.com;" +
                                "name@follett.com;" + "name@follett.com";

xfa.host.messageBox("strCCAddress = " + strCCAddress);

strSubject = "Incident Report - " + page1.incidentInfo.incidentType.formattedValue;
strMessage = "";

event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:"+ strToAddress + "?cc=" + strCCAddress + "&subject=" + strSubject + "&body=" + strMessage,cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});

Thanks

Connie1238544 created Reader X failing on Save and Save As, after the form has been opened for longer than an hour.

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 22 May 2013 16:43:08 GMT

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this happen or maybe can offer a solution. I have several Dynamic XML forms designed in LiveCycle ES2 v9 that since our ministry switched to Reader X have been failing. At first, the save button greys out (even though new information has been inputed) and the form will only save as. Then the save as function will start to fail if the form is left open.

Our users are running Reader 10.1 on Windows Vista and so far its only users that have left it open longer than two hours, or over night. These forms have been Reader extended and at first save without issue.

Unfortunately, just telling the users not to leave it open isn't an option. We just need Reader X to work.

Thanks in advance for any information you can share about this.

JoeMiz455455 created Edit Patterns not reflected in the XML of a submitted Form

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 22 May 2013 16:04:58 GMT

Using LiveCycle E2 V9.

The display and or Edit Patterns are not reflected in the XML of a submitted form.

While these display properly on the Adobe form on-screen, e.g.

$150,000.00 when the fields are are submitted the XML tag as reflects 150000.000000

The fields are defined as Numeric, but since they will only display on the resulting ASP.Net page, they do not necessarily have to be numeric, they could be a text field too.. with a dollar edit?

Please advise whether there is something that I am doing incorrectly and or a fix for this?

Thank you!
