Not sure if AWS 6.2 will natively support Forms Designed through LiveCycle 7.0 - its best to check with Adobe Support.

Concerning the Adobe 5.0 Designer, associated the xft to the process instead of the html stub - the fields will be imported.

You need to put both the .XFT and .HTM stub files in the C:\Program Files\Adobe Workflow Server\WebAccess\Web\Forms\Form Client\Forms directory and in your workflow process, under start forms, point it to the .XFT file.

In Administrator, under Users, select the user that you are trying to initiate the process as, right-click and choose Properties. Under Form Preferences, in the Workflow and WebAccess Form Preferences box, make sure Form Client and HTML are selected, but not PDF.

Hi, Marcelo.

That one is quite simple.... All you gotta do is to create the basic Action fields on your form and to script a submit button as follows:

1 - Create a hidden form field called JFWF_PDFINFO;
2 - Create the action list box called JFWF_ACTION;
3 - Create a button, which will run a JavaScript on the MouseUP event.

Here's the secret:

When you create a PDF form outside the Designer (e.g. using MS Word and Acrobat 6.0, for an instance) you have to customize the script for the Submit button. This is an example of a script that should be run on the MouseUP event of your submit button:

var boEnvia = true;
var oPDFInfoField = this.getField("JFWF_PDFINFO");
var aPDFInfo = oPDFInfoField.value.split(";");
var sTargetURL = "";// first element is the URL to post to
var sCleared = "";
var sRadioButtons = "";

if (boEnvia){
// see if potential checked checkboxes have been cleared
for (var i = 1; i < aPDFInfo.length; i++) {
var aNameValue = aPDFInfo[i].split("=");
var sName = aNameValue[0];
var sValue = aNameValue[1];

if (sName == "XFIELDS") {
var aFieldNames = sValue.split(",");
for ( var x = 0; x < aFieldNames.length; x++) {
var oField = this.getField(aFieldNames[x]);

if (oField != null && oField.type == "checkbox" && !oField.isBoxChecked(0)) {
if (sCleared == "")
sCleared = ";UNCHECKED=" + aFieldNames[x];
else
sCleared += "," + aFieldNames[x];
}
}
}
else if (sName == "TARGETURL")
sTargetURL = sValue;
}

// Save radio button names...
for (var x = 0; x < this.numFields; x++) {
if (this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(x)).type == "radiobutton") {
if (sRadioButtons == "")
sRadioButtons = ";RB=" + this.getNthFieldName(x);
else
sRadioButtons += "," + this.getNthFieldName(x);
}
}

if (app.viewerVersion < 6) {
oPDFInfoField.value += "ENCODING=PDFDocEncoding" + sCleared + sRadioButtons
this.submitForm( sTargetURL,
false, // HTML form
true, // Post all fields (true), or do Not post all fields (false)
null,
false, // Use post method (false)
false); // For forms, do not submit annotations
}
else{
oPDFInfoField.value += "ENCODING=UTF-8" + sCleared + sRadioButtons;
this.submitForm({cURL: sTargetURL,
bEmpty: true, // Post all fields (true), or do Not post all fields (false)
cSubmitAs: "HTML", // Post URL-Encoded
cCharset: "utf-8"});
}

}

I´m sending you a form that I used to test e-mail notifications here at MCR... By the way, could some one help me on the topic I just posted? Can´t get the Agent to connect properly to an e-mail server.

Thanks.

Marcelo-

You'd probably save yourself a lot of unwarranted headache \ time by getting in touch with your Adobe Account Mgr and simply ask "What components do I need to get this to work..."

My 2 cents, Adobe 7.0 forms will not render natively in AWS 6.2 environment unless you have the Adobe Form Manager Component. However, as Sanna eluded to in an earlier post, if you wish serve dynamic form content within AWS( using Adobe 7.0 forms ) then you require Adobe Form Server on top of all that.

So bottom line:
AWS 6.2 serving Adobe 7.0 Forms requires:
- Adobe Form Mgr
- Adobe Form Server ( if you wish to serve dynamic form content )

FYI...Not sure if you have any environmental constraints but Adobe Form Manager will only run on a J2EE platform.

I have a two checkboxes in Adobe 5.0 which are named the same so when one is chosen the other is off. The valuse are Yes and No. What I am try to do is on the form load determine if the Yes box is checked and if so then set both boxes to read only until another field, decommision date, is filled out saved and the form is re-loaded. I have tried setting using this.getfield(fieldname).readonly = true, but this is not working and I cannot get both checkboxes to set to readonly.

Thanks for any help

Hello Isaac,

Do you happen to know how to restart a stalled workitem by updating the ITWORKITEMS or the ITSTALLED tables?

Please le tme know it will be helpful.

Hello Isaac,

Could you please tell me the queries you use to restart a stalled workitem because I have not been able to figure it out.

Regarding the archiving procedure for completed forms I have manage to recover information from any task (data & stored files) in the proccess I don't know if this is what you are looking for.

I will be waiting for your comments.

Regards...
