Misleading Description for setItems() Method

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 12 Mar 2014 19:45:10 GMT

I played around with the setItems method to push values into drop down list.

This is what the documentation says about its parameters:

param1	A list of items and values separated by a comma. For example, "One,Two,Three" or "One,1,Two,2,Three,3". For items without values, leave the value blank. For example, "item1,value1,item2,item3".
param2	The number of columns per item. For example, the itemValueList string, "One,1,Two,2,Three,3" has numColumns=2. An itemValueList "One,Uno,1,Two,Due,2,Three,Tre,3" has numColumns=3 while an itemValueList "One,Two,Three" has numColumns=1. The value of 1 is the default.

From that you might think you can use setItems("One,Uno,1,Two,Due,2,Three,Tre,3", 3); to create a 3 columns drop down list.

<items>
               <text>One</text>
               <text>Two</text>
               <text>Three</text>
            </items>
            <items>
               <text>Uno</text>
               <text>Due</text>
               <text>Tre</text>
            </items>
            <items save="1" presence="hidden">
               <text>1</text>
               <text>2</text>
               <text>3</text>
            </items>

This is just wrong.

The XFA specification only allows 2 <items> elements for field elements, so the setItem() method will always fail if the second parameter is larger than 2.

Missing localization in statement completion dialog with SP1 for Designer ES4

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 04 Oct 2013 11:24:58 GMT

I hate to say that, but somebody didn't do his job at Adobe!

Or is there no quality control at all?!

How can it be that the statement completion dialog is not localized as it was before? Arrrg!!!

Poor documentation for new LC4 SP1 feature

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 02 Oct 2013 18:59:17 GMT

The SP1 for ES4 adds a new feature to Designer.

You're now able to add the document title to the title bar of your PDF viewer.

But the updated documentation is very poor.

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/11.0/DesignerHelp/WS107c29ade9134a2c-4ae8b9c912a8713 b33d-8000.2.html#WS2d2a17056e2191984a0add03140aa5a6c99-8000

1. Only the english documentation describes the feature. No word about in the german help.

2. It states to add the tag <?originalXFAVersion http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/3.3/ DisplayDocTitle:1?>to the XML source manually but not where!

3. There is no word about that the feature only affects static XFA forms! If it should work in dynamic forms, than there is currently a bug, because it doesn't work.

@the LC doc team: Please provide a more detailed description in all languages you support in Designer!

Notes for Designer ES3 Service Pack 1

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 12 Jun 2012 10:23:10 GMT

Hi,

Adobe recently released Service Pack 1 for LiveCycle Designer ES3 (formerly know as ADEP Designer).

If you haven't upgraded ADEP Designer (10.0.0 or 10.0.1) to Designer ES3 (10.0.2) yet, you shoudn't install this Service Pack, as ADEP Designer won't work anymore after the upgrade.

You better download the trial of Designer ES3 first and install it using your ADEP Designer serial.

Only then install the Service Pack.

Enhance support of AUC forums

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 14:30:35 GMT

Hi,

when the AEC informs me, that the forum has been updated, I can easily open the new posts there, but I cannot see in what forum the posts are.

As AUC has 21 different forums, it is very difficult to keep track of the posts.

Also, can you add a method to show all recent posts or to highlight all posts that I have answered before?

Best

Marcus

Add "Accepted Answer" check mark feature for AcrobatUsers.com forum posts

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 08:06:24 GMT

Hi,

this is a little request for me :)

The connection to AUC forums is great!!!

I only miss the "Accepted Answer" check mark you can see there generally.

This will be very helpful for users working with AEC to find answers/solutions, too.

Missing Button for Event Propagation in Script Editor

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 14:27:59 GMT

Hi,

is anybody else missing the button to enable the event propagation in the script editor?

I know it has been there once, but seems to be disappeared since I installed the SP2 (9.0.0.2.20101008.2.720808) for Designer.

ADEP Designer crashes when trying to change Overflow settings

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 21:00:48 GMT

Hi,

I'm encountering the following problem in german ADEP Designer under Win7 64Bit.

When I create a new blank form or edit a present form and want to change the setting for either the Overflow Leader or Overflow Trailer to (none) the app immediately crashes always with a C++ Runtime error.

The event log always states this information.

1. Problem with MSVCR90.dll

2. Problem with KERNELBASE.dll

WTH?

Before I make bug report I'd like to know if anyone else have this problem?

OK, an update.

I installed ADEP Designer in a VM with Win XP SP3 and encountered the same problem, so this problem may no not have anything to do with the OS version.

I'm afraid this is a bug of the german ADEP Designer ... or does anyone with the englisch version have this problem too?

Acrobat X (10.0.2) trows Error when SaveAs with relative paths

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 21:07:55 GMT

Hi,

I'm wondering if this is a bug in Acrobat X.

When I try to execute the script

this.saveAs("../TEST.pdf"); or this.saveAs({cPath: "../TEST.pdf"}); it always throws this exception.

UnsupportedValueError: Value is unsupported. ===> Parameter cPath.

I did a cross-check with Acrobat 9, there both scripts are working fine and my file is saved into the parent directory.

What's going on here?

SaveAs through Folder Level Script in Reader X impossible with Protected Mode?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 08:26:06 GMT

Hi,

I'm wondering if the SaveAs trough a trusted function in a Folder Level Script is not working anymore when the Protected Mode has been activated.

I could not find any information regarding this.
