Present final report at the end of the form.

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 21:59:37 GMT

We are working on a performance evaluation form.

There´s a part of it where we specify performance factors, the qualification is from 1 to 5. If the qualification is between 1 & 2.9, it needs a developement plan.

I would need two things, first if the value entered is between 1 % 2.9, the background color to turn red. But at the end of the form get "a report" with all the performance factors that are between that qualification rate, so the evaluator makes a plan for it.

I´m using LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2

Hope to explain enough,

Thanks in advance!

Hide and Show Subforms not hidden

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 15:32:57 GMT

Good Morning,

It's been months since I've worked in LiveCycle, so I know that I'm missing something simple on this form.

In LiveCycle Designer ES4 I have a form with check boxes that trigger subforms to appear when checked.

I used Action Builder to to create these simple rules

Condition: "When check box CopyMachine is clicked" (Check box name)

Result: "Set Visibility of CopyMachineChoice to visible" (Subform name)

However on the PDF all the subforms are appearing.

What am I forgetting?

And do I need to create a separate event for the possibility of the User clicking, then unclicking a check box?

Thank you for helping,

Is there a way to contain an expanding table so that it does NOT overflow?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 20:02:08 GMT

I have a table within a positioned subform and if there are more rows in the table than space in the subform, the data overflows past the boundaries of the subform. I want the data to be cut off at the boundary, such as how you can select for a field to "Limit Length to Visible Area" so that the text in the field doesn't go past the field size. I don't even want it to flow to another page, just cut it off so that it doesn't print over other fields that are below the subform on the page. Anyone know how to do this?

Database connection is not working in Free Acrobat Reader

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 06:37:08 GMT

Hi,

I am working on a pdf that imports data from an sql server. I got it working flawlessly in livecycle and in Acrobat Reader Pro. But in Free acrobat reader it makes an index error on the click event on the button that runs the javascript for getting a record.

I applied reader extension from Acrobat Reader Pro, but never the less it won't work.

My question: Does Free Acrobat Reader support this kind of database lookup with RE enabled.

I have tried both with formcalc and javascript. Both works in livecycle and the pro version of acrobat reader.

I am only working on the client side and do not utilize livecycle server.

example code:

var nIndex = 0;

while(xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item(nIndex).name != "Dataforbindelse"){nIndex++;}

var oDB = xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item(nIndex).clone(1);

oDB.nodes.item(1).query.setAttribute("text", "commandType");

oDB.nodes.item(1).query.select.nodes.item(0).value = "SELECT * FROM [Wennstrom Fuel Systems DK$Service Header] WHERE [No_] = '458SV0"+form1.main.NavID.rawValue+"'";

oDB.open();

oDB.close();

The java error:

GeneralError: Operation failed.

XFAObject.item:2:XFA:form1[0]:main[0]:Button7[0]:click

Index value is out of bounds

Accessibility Checker

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 11 Nov 2014 15:36:56 GMT

The Accessibility panel is blank in my 60 day trial version of LifeCycle Designer ES4. The documentation states to (Click Tools - > Macros -> Accessibility Check.) however Macros is not listed in my tools menu. When I view the form in Acrobat XI the accessibility pane is also blank even after running the “Setup Assistant.

Did I miss something or has anyone run into this?

Hi everyone,

I have a form that lets you removed questions (tables). However if a user removes them, saves the PDF and then repoens it later, the removed questions are back. Anything that is typed will be saved, but the tables keep coming back. Here is a short video that shows what happens.

I searched the forum and found some posts that I think are similar but I can't get a solution to work. One invloved copying the script that deletes the table (code resides in the the click event) to the form:ready event. Here is the code from the click event that deletes the table:

form1.SectionESBusinessAcumen.QuestionsContainer.SFBusinessAcumenQuestions.S1Q1Table.Row1. SubformS1Q1Remove.S1Q1Remove::click - (JavaScript, client)
var cMsg = "Are you sure you want to delete this question?";

Dynamically Change Company Logo

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 10 Nov 2014 15:53:31 GMT

I want to create one form used by both of our companies. When the user selects their location, the cooresponding company logo displays at the top of the form including all new pages generated. I was able to get this working with JavaScript but ran into a problem when merging the data to a spreadsheet using Acrobat. The image data exports and creates a huge column of data in my spreadsheet. How do I prevent the image data from exporting to the spreadsheet? This problem does not happen with Acrobat version 10.0.0 but does occur with versions 10.1.11 and 10.1.12.

Subforms choice set from samples not working correctly

Hello,

I'm working on a form with a subform choice set in the header of the master page.

After a number of attempts I finally found an example from samples designer directory (precisely <designer_install_dir>\EN\Samples\Forms\Purchase Order\Form Fragments).

The form Purchase Order Dynamic.xdp use "Subform Choice Set" for the footer.

It works in the example which has one page only.

I tried to add some more lines to th first page in order to have a second page but on the second page it takes the wrong footer ("footerUS" instead of "footerCanada").

Each footer (US or Canada) is a fragments.

There is a way to solve the problem?

Adobe changes my numeric field to include commas when validation fails

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 31 Oct 2014 13:42:30 GMT

Adobe changes my numeric field to include commas when validation fails. My numeric validation setting is num{zzzzzzz9.99}. I want my numeric field to display as 99999999.00, no commas and only to have 2 decimals places. I added this validation to the Display, Edit, Validation and Data tabs under the validation pattern dialog box.

When validation fails, adobe changes the display of the field to include commas and drops the decimal places:

999,999,999

How can I prevent this from happening? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

I've also added a change event to the field as well:

\\only allows numbers and period.

if (xfa.event.newText.match(/[^0-9.]/))

{

xfa.event.change = "";

}

\\only allows 11 characters to be entered.

var maxLength = 11;

if(xfa.event.newText.length >maxLength)xfa.event.change = "";

bindItems and SOM

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 31 Oct 2014 11:59:07 GMT

I am trying to bind a drop down list (choiceList) to a list of records in my data set. My original XML looked like this:

 <bindItems ref="$record.parent.People.Person[*].Identifier.Name" labelRef="$" valueRef="$"/>

But it returned no values. I played around and with alternative ways of getting my data, and settled on this:

 <bindItems ref="$data.root.People.Person[*].Identifier.Name" labelRef="$" valueRef="$"/>

But what is weird is that within a scripting context:

xfa.record.parent.resolveNodes("Ballot[*].BallotIdentifier.BallotName")

Works just fine. Do SOM expressions not support the parent property in a bind context?

Issue with different master pages, and flowing content between them.

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 29 Oct 2014 20:44:15 GMT

Hi, I'm hoping that I'm just missing something minor in the form I'm creating.

I have a form that allows you to add instances of a section, and also hide and show different subforms. This happens across two types of master pages, one with a header and instructions, and one that has a larger content area and a much smaller header. What I would like to happen is that when the subform is un-hidden with the checkbox, and another nested instance is added, that it flows onto the second master page. Right now, it flows onto another copy of the first master page.

I think the reason it's doing this, is that in the design view there is too much content for one page so the subform is already flowing onto the next page. Perhaps there's a way to add all the content onto one page of the design view, so that it flows onto the second master page when I choose the pagination option of the content area?

I've tried changing Pagination options on both the content area and the encapsulating subforms, with no luck.

Here is a Dropbox link to the form (please excuse my messy naming conventions, I'm planning on going in and fixing it all):

Dropbox - Social Media Form 20141027.pdf

e-mail button changes email address when submitting

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 27 Oct 2014 16:45:13 GMT

Hello,

For some reason when I try to e-mail my form when I hit the submit by e-mail button in the Send Form that pops up the e-mail address that the form is supposed to be sent to is different than what I have set it up to be on the form. I have tried creating the e-mail submit button using the e-mail button from the standard library and by using a regular button and changing it to a submit button, but it does not make a difference.

Can anyone tell me how to get it to not change the e-mail address when I try to submit my form? The e-mail address I have entered it to be sent to is: tamara@psychologistsassociation.ab.ca but when I go to submit when testing my form it adds an "a" onto the end of association so the e-mail address is changed to: tamara@psycholoigstsassocationa.ab.ca

this means that when I submit it the form does not go to my inbox because the email address is wrong, even though the e-mail address is entered correctly in the Object palette in LiveCycle Designer.

Adding Values Decided by Drop Down Menu

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 27 Oct 2014 08:44:41 GMT

Hi guys,

I have checked around the forum and I haven't quite found the perfect way to do what I want. Here it is.

I have three boxes at the top that should keep a running total. Each of the six dropdown lists contain the following values, A, B, C. The user will put a number in the numeric field and choose A, B or C. When he/she does then the amount in the numeric field goes in the proper box at the top "Total A" for A, "TotalB" for B and "TotalC" for C. The totals should continue to add.

Example one: if a user puts 200 in each Numeric Field and selected "A: in each dropdown list then "Total A" would be equal to 1200 and "Total B" and "Total C" would be 0.

Example two: User puts 100 in all six numeric fields and then selects "A","A","A", "B","B, "C" for each dropdown list. The totals at the top should be "Total A" = 300, "Total B" = 200 and "Total C" = 100.

I have to do this on a large scale so a global script might be better. Thanks so much for your help!

Choice Subform Set - Edit Alternatives - Not working?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 23 Oct 2014 16:43:51 GMT

I then name the alternative subforms to "opt1" and "opt2". I have also added a data node in my data xml with the same name. For example, <opt1>T<opt1>.

If I understand the Adobe "help" screen for this subject correctly, rendering my xml data file with this template (this is not an interactive form) by previewing should work. However, it is not. Only the first subform and it's objects display regardless of which one is first.
