Hi: I have a little ms access 2007 DB with 4
filelds: Name, ID, License, State.
I have a Dropdown list where I choose the name, That works fine. I Can see the complete list of names after I click on the dropdown. Now, after I pick one name, I need a field that shows the correct ID of the person chosen..
How difficult can that be?
thanks
I have an SAP Adobe form (PDF) and we are seeing a difference in the Save behavior between when it is viewed in Adobe Reader vs. the adobe plug-in(?) for Internet Explorer.
When the form is viewed in Internet Explorer, every time the user saves the form the file size grows (even with no data changes in the form - i.e., open the form, hit save). This is not true if the form is opened in Adobe Reader.
The form in question has multiple pages but the only fields directly bound to the SAP source are a handful of identifiers (e.g., order number) and a dynamic table. It appears from our testing that the more entries in the table when the form is created, the greater the size increase each time the file is saved. The table length is not changed after the form is first generated.
Is there a known difference in the behavior of Adobe Reader vs. the browser plug-in which would account for this difference? Maybe in the compression logic?
Our users have Adobe Reader X installed on their machines.
The code below isn't working what coult be wrong?
i have set up the font size for the text field on "0pt" then when opening pdf i check if value is shorter then 50 letters and if so then i have to change the font.size to "10pt".

The code doesn't work the font.size stays on value "0pt". Please help.
In my form I'm only using Arial font type and "embed fonts" is selected as my form's default property. But still LiveCycle ES4 embeds Arial-MT font to PDF. Arial-MT is thinner than Arial and creates problems for me. Which way I should change LiveCycle ES4 settings in order to just Arial font be embedded to my PDF file.
How to enable a forms made on Acrobat Pro DC, able dynamic bar-code to work on free acrobat reader.

Hi!
I'm using LiveCycle ES v.8.2.1 to create a form that can be filled out using Adobe Reader only and then have the form data emailed to us in xml format that will be imported into our Access database.
I have a large number of dropdown lists on the form to restrict the data choices to my list only - users are not allowed to modify the list. Some of the dropdown fields are required, others are optional for the user to fill in.
The form is 4 pages long and very complicated - as people tab along, they occasionally select an optional dropdown field that they didn't mean to. Also they may change their mind later about one of their earlier choices and want to change the dropdown back to its original unselected state.
In the image above, the primary Site Function is a required field but the 3 other Secondary Site Function fields are optional. People can change their mind about how many Secondary Functions are appropriate, ie, they filled out all 3 Secondary Function fields and later decided that they should have only have filled out one of them.
In the above screen shot, I decided that there shouldn't be a Secondary field filled out at all, only the Primary Function. However, when I try to delete the selection in the Secondary (a) field so that it is blank, I can't. There is always one of the list choices shown in the field - in other words, I want it to look like the Secondary (b) field which wasn't ever selected.
Do I have to have a Null or blank choice in the dropdown list? How is it properly done so that the "blank" choice isn't interpreted by my database as a populated field?
I am not a programmer so I'm hoping this is a simple process. Thank you for your help!
I have inserted a table in my form and have included an Add New Row button to insert additonal rows. I want a maximum of 16 rows added with a subtotal field. I want the table, then to automatically go to a new page with a subtotal field. At the end of all pages I want to include a total field. The table goes to the next page after a number of rows are entered, but there is not a break; the original form continues. How do conditionally break the page and have a (new) table display in the second page?
Thanks for your help.
I am doing a dynamic form which has drop down rows (click the + button, then a new row will be created, so the user can have as many rows they prefer, then there is a footer with E-signature in it (hopefully the footer can be shown at the last bottom page only) ).
My issue now: So when I have 2 pages of forms in total, the bottom of the first and second page will both have the footer (Signature). However, if there are 3 pages of form in total: the bottom of the first and third page will both have the footer (Signature), but not the second page.
What I want: How can I ONLY have the footer (signature) at the bottom of the last page, not on the first page, no matter how many rows and pages the user created ?
I can screen shot the form if needed. Please help.
Many thanks
I have a form that I made up in Adobe Pro 9. However, I needed to do some stuff to it that only livecycle would allow me to do. Long story short it is now in livecycle. Here is my problem, in adobe acrobat I could easily set auto sum for fields that I wanted to calculate. However I cannot figure out how to do this in livecycle. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to calculate the difference in days between two dates using JavaScript in LiveCycle. (JavaScript knowledge = minimal)
Where "Start_Date" and "Current_Date" are the names of the two dates in the Hierarchy palette. (both Date/Time Field)
*Current date is using the Object > Value > Runtime Property > Current Date/Time
I need a Text or Numeric field displaying the difference in days. (Difference_in_Days)
I've noticed the following code being pretty standard amongst other responses:
var
Start_Date =new Date(Start_Date);
var
Current_Date =new Date(Current_Date);
var
nAgeMilliseconds = Current_Date.getTime() - Start_Date.getTime();
var
nMilliSecondsPerYear = 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
I know there's code missing, and the above code might not be correct.
Please advise.
Hi all,
I'm a beginner to LiveCycle and I cant seem to get a loop working within a function. The function is being called successfully because when I manually create the code it works but I am trying to clean things up.
So here is my working example:
function hideContent() {
MainFlowedSub.LevelsSub.Table1.presence = "hidden";
MainFlowedSub.LevelsSub.Table2.presence = "hidden";
... and so on....
MainFlowedSub.LevelsSub.Table8.Row1.presence = "hidden";
MainFlowedSub.LevelsSub.Table8.Row2.presence = "hidden";
... and so on....
}
However when I try and creat a loop instead of listing every sing table/row nothing happens. this is important to my project as there will be alot of different rows depending on radio button selections earlier in the form. Below is the current state of my code:
function hideContent() {
var i=0;
for (i=1;i<=5;i++)
{
MainFlowedSub.LevelsSub.Table[i].presence = "hidden";
}
var j=0;
for (j=1;j<=23;j++)
{
MainFlowedSub.LevelsSub.Table8.Row[j].presence = "hidden";
}
var k=0;
for (k=24;k<=88;k++)
{
MainFlowedSub.LevelsSub.Table8.Row[k].presence = "hidden";
}
;
this will then continue as there will be hundreds of rows.
Any help will be greatly appreciated and I am sure I am making a basic error so thanks in advance.

I wish to enter information such as project name, company name, date, etc. into a single data sheet. Then I need to autofill the same two or three fields across multiple separate pdf form files. In this case I have approximately separate files to autofill. The forms are all different however, they have the same two or three fields. Any ideas?
I have been searching the internet for ideas or methods and haven't found a single solution yet.
Thanks.
I'm absolutely brand-new to LiveCycle ES2 (we were using Adobe Pro 7 up until a week ago). I've been playing around with some of our forms to try and see what LiveCycle can do to update these into a better format.
I have a table with a header row, a body row, and a footer row. The body row needs to be repeatable. I used the Custom object "Subform Instance Controls: Insert Remove Move" to add the plus and minus signs. I set the Action to repeat or remove the instance of that one row.
The entire table is wrapped in a subform that is set to flowed. The row that needs repeating is set to "Repeat Row for Each Data Item" with Min Count set at 1 and no Max Count set. The entire document is also wrapped in a subform set to flowed.
When I go into Preview and use the Add an Instance button, I get this error:
"Warning: JavaScript Window - Insert Item.
You have reached the maximum number of items allowed."
If I try the Remove an Instance button, I get a similar error about the minimum number of items allowed.
BUT (and here is the confusing part) the buttons work! The row gets added or deleted, it just gives me the error first. What could be going on? I've tried setting the Max Count to 20 to see if giving it a max count would help, but I still get the error.
I've done all this using Design View, because I know nothing about JavaScript, but I can post the generated code, if it helps.
Hello,
I am new to Adobe development. I have a requirement for a fill-able form. There is a Send Email Button at the bottom.
Once user fills the form and clicks the send email button it will be dispatched to the email recipients mentioned in the Email Address column.
The main requirement is - The recipients should not see (invisible) the Send Email Button at the bottom.
And
All the fields should be protected.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi everyone,
I am looking for help with creating a form and sending specific text fields in the body of an email, without having it attach the pdf itself.
To clarify, I would like to send the "Date", "Name", and "Room" in the body of an email. But I do not want to attach a pdf at the same time.
Any help is much appreciated.
Hello There,
I am new to the Adobe forms, I have created a table using Subforms by giving the roles such as "Table", "Header Row" and "Body Row". I can successfully able to display the table in multiple pages. But i can not print my Header row from second page onward.
Please help me to print the Header row on the top of the Body list in multiple pages.

I have a PDF from that I published to Acrobat.com There are fields to be filled out. Problems:
1. How can I set the fields to populate into an existing MS Access DB once submitted results back to me?
2. How can the form populate upon a certain chouice criteria?
Scenerio: Form is a log file for patients seen, including name, date, room#, diagnosis codes, testing, medications, f/u. The same fields exist in MS Access but distributed among 3 tables (linked). In the PDF form I have created a New Data Connection (OLEDB), Connection string (Provider for ODBC drivers), In the Data View I see my fields from access - so for each input Binding it points to the field (i.e.: for patient name - $record.Patient.Last_Name).
But here is the rub:
1. When the first patient filed is filled, all subsequent patient names are filled with same name (and they keep just replaceing the other inputs).
2. I cannot seem to create a date calender, or have the current date default (taken from the computer time stamp).
3. I can not seem to calculate the follow/up (it's 4 weeks) from the input of the date.
4. When selecting a facility, how do I populate the fields with current patient names and previous Diagnosis (if at all possible).
5. When I created the data connection, the fill in spaces become obscured and my drop down box for facility choice stops working.
I know this is big, but any advice and help is greatly appreciated in advance. I have also attached the PDF form for analysis. Please not that there are two, one is the original prior to Life Cycle modification and the other is with the DB linking attempt.
Thanks

Hi, I have a ADOBE form created through SAP.
One of the field in the form is a numeric type and its property under Object>Cell>Display pattern is set as z,zzz,zzz,zz9.99.
I have a requirement that for a particular condition this field should display the values with four decimal places. I am not able to figure out what property to use in the scripting.
I tried fracDigits and Format. It does not work.
The decimal places always remains 2 as set in the display pattern.
Is there any way to change this display pattern dynamically based on a condition?
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
I have five text fields with name like Name_1, Name_2, Name_3, Name_4 and Name_5.
Each of these will contain just one character like A B C D and E.
I want a 6 th text field (hidden) to have the full value as ABCDE after the user exits the text field Name_5.
form1.Fragment1.Name_5::mouseExit - (JavaScript, client)
var string1=form1.Fragment1.Name_1.rawValue;
var string2=form1.Fragment1.Name_2.rawValue;
var string3=form1.Fragment1.Name_3.rawValue;
var string4=form1.Fragment1.Name_4.rawValue;
var string5=form1.Fragment1.Name_5.rawValue;
var string6=form1.Fragment1.Name_6.rawValue; // This is blank presently.
form1.Fragment1.Name_6.rawValue = string6.concat(string1, string2, string3, string4, string5);
Please help me how would this work.
Thanks and Regards,
Sonika
