Abnormal Program Termination due to file size

Avatar

Level 1

My livecycle form is extremely large due to the size of my listbox data (images tied to the list box). Everytime I get to 100+ items it closes when I attempt to save it. This is extremely frustrating. Should I be using another program to build this?

Thanks,

Courtney

I don't think a listbox with more than 100 items has any big effect on the file size of your form.

I have forms with more than 5000 items in a listbox that are not larger than 500KB.

The problem could the fonts or the images you propably embedded into the form.

Would it matter if I'm having to embed images that are tied to the list box? I tried to make the images not embed, but then they don't show up on the form...

Difficult to answer.

Maybe you can attach the images to your form.

Here's an example showing how to do so.

Okay - I tried opening the form to look at the coding (I'm very much a visual person and extremely new to coding) but the form said it was in a different version of adobe livecycle - I'm testing out 9 and tried it in 8. I have some of the code, but I think the settings are off. I'm not sure how they are linking the image to the actual page. It looks like it's tied to a text box, but I can't tell. Thanks for all of your help!

Can you upload the form anywhere, so I can look at it?
