I am new to Adobe Livecycle (less than a week), and I'm at my end with this program and its counter-intuitive and cumbersome functionality (I've used other Adobe products on a Mac for 15 years as a graphic designer and have never had this sort of trouble). Any help would be appreciated. I urgently need to complete this project, and as of now it looks like I'll be recreating it from scratch.
I am aware that your post is related to "Live cycle designer" but not in the right community. Since you posted your questions in AEM Sites which is nowhere related to Adobe live cycle designer. I redirected you to the community where you have better chances of getting a response.
I'm trying to make a dynamic PDF form using Adobe LiveCycle designer and have a problem. I have a boolean checkbox field that decides if other text fields are required or optional. I'd like to implement this functionality using form scripting - in the 'changed' event of the checkbox field I'd like to modify other form fields so they become either required or optional. My problem is that I don't know the javascript API and can't find how to modify field 'requiredness'. Thanks for helpR
I can lock selected fields, and confirm that I can't move them around in designer. Then I can unlock those fields, and confirm that I now can move them around in designer. But in either case, I cannot edit the fields in the preview window. When the document is viewed in either Acrobat Pro or Reader, the fields can be edited. This is just a problem with the Preview window in Livecycle Designer, and it is a huge hinderence to the person developing the form (a different developer).
What is the cost of Adobe LiveCycle Designer for one-person license?
If I buy Adobe LiveCycle Designer, and I use PDF forms to gather information for our database, do we need to buy any other adobe products?
Have been reading/testing what I could find on creating a drop down list that is populated from xml file (also tried datasource to access database but have too many issues, such as won't be able to install DSN on multiple machines, plus getting an environment not trusted error). The XML file will be on a network, updated nightly, all users have rights to folder/file. Created the test data connections trying both the sample XML method and the XSD, which let me choose the XML associated with it. Have created a reader extended copy, am opening in AdobeX Pro, but regardless of whether I try to preview in the LiveCycle designer, or open in the reader extended PDF, the drop down list is blank. Have tried binding a drop down to the datasource field name, and tried simply dragging the field onto the form and making it a drop down. The XML has 4 columns, and once the 1st column value is selected, the goal will be to write column 2, 3 and 4 values to other fields on the PDF, but my first stumbling block is to populate the dropdown. Any assistance very welcome, thank you!
Problem is: when user enters 01/01/01 shows age as 101. When user enters 01/01/2001 age shows 1. All patterns are set to mm/dd/yyyy. Is there a way to prohibit the user from continuing to the next field until the proper format is entered? I'm open to any ideas which will acheive the desrired outcome. I'm new to livecycle and javascript. I suspect an easy solution but I can't seem to find it when searching the forums or LD help menu.
