Anyone can help solve this frustrating bug in Adobe Reader 8 drop-down list?

Has anyone met the bottom of drop in their PDF form that do not work in Adobe Reader 8?

A simple example is my form (stripped back) here:

http://www.wikski.com/misc/test.PDF

I built a form with 22 sections in this document, some 1800 of code lines, and now every drop down has decided to not work in Adobe Reader 8.

The behavior is when you select a drop down, it immediately turns off itself and you cannot use the item at all.

I've had this happen and by simply removing the element in LiveCycle ES2 of Designers (which is what I used to create the entire form) and recreate exactly the same thing; seemed to remedy. However, so far I passed the point of being able to recreate each drop of this time, I need to know actually what is the cause of the bug.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

See you soon,.

I don't know why you need the xfa.layout.relayout (); in your calls in your enter events (at least in the set_focus function).

Seems to work without it.

I had more problems with Reader 8.0 than any other version.

  • How to make a pdf that can send a form to e-mail selected in a drop-down list box?

    I'm trying to be able to create a user of a pdf file I created, select an e-mail from a drop-down list box and then hit send and have it send to this email address that has been selected.

    Thanks for the help!

    Hello

    I don't think (maybe wrong) you can do this in InDesign. At the very least, you could draw the shape in InDesign, but I guess that the interactivity between the selection of the list and the action of mail should be done with Scripting Acrobat or LiveCycle Designer if you have.

    FWIW,

  • Need help to fill in a text box in a drop-down list.

    I think I have most of the code and correct settings, but I need help.

    I have a drop down list that is populated with 3 States. When a certain State is selected in the drop-down list, I need a text box to fill with tax information for each State. I list them set up variables that define the drop-down list data and the data that I want to appear in the text box. I also code basic javascript in place - but it is not perfect.

    The problems I'm having with the dynamic .pdf file include:

    1. where a State is selected in the drop-down list, the user must first click the text box so that the appropriate text appears in the box.

    2. when a State is selected in the drop-down list and the user clicks on the text box to display the text of tax info, tax info text does not change as it should if a user selects a different State in the drop-down list.

    3. the tax information in the text box will appear for 2 States (what is because the variable list that I put in place for these States has too many characters of text? Is there a way to bypass this limitation?)

    Can someone help me change the javascript code and settings that I use to make the text field to fill in correctly? It is the first project of livecycle that I tried and my first experience with javascript.

    Here's the file I'm working on:

    Here is an example of change. I put the code click on the button, so you can see it in operation... You can place this code in the event that makes sense for you. I also added another field to show the DOM (this is for debugging purposes and you can remove this field if you want).

  • How can I display an image by selecting something in a drop down list?

    Hello-

    I'm looking for a way for my interactive PDF show multiple images in the same place by selecting an item from the list by a menu button dropdown.

    For example, in a drop-down list, select a digital photo 5 x 7. I need to show a picture of this product in another place in the document.

    The same drop-down list, select a schedule. At this very location where is the image of printing 5 x 7, I need a calendar to take his place.

    I tried to stack several buttons with images attached to them and then used javascript to show/hide, but the problem with this

    is considerably hinders it the speed of the form as a whole with each added button stacked one on the other. I need to find a

    How to do without interfering with the speed of the form.

    Any suggestions?

  • I keep losing adjustment layers during flattening. How can I solve this? (Screenshots included) Adobe Photoshop CC

    Hello, whenever I flattened the image that I lose all adjustment layers, it seems to be returning to gray scale. I tried to solve this problem for a week without success, to help or advice are appreciated. The first screen shot is before it is flattened, the second screenshot is once it is flattened.

    Thank you!Before flattening.jpgAfter Flattening.jpg

    You must display at 100% for a precise vision.

    Tonal corrections (such as the brightness/contrast) have No effect on black or white. They are always black or white. What you see is an artifact caused by resizing the image preview, thus introducing the middle gray values that do not exist in the original.

  • FormCalc help - trying to multiply or divide based on the drop-down list

    So I'm a complete noob to this and Livecycle learning.

    I tried to make this formcalc script but its all wrong, I'm sure.  I have a dropdown menu with 3 variables (annual, quarterly, monthly), I need to take the amount in the box "given amount" and based on 3 variables come with the monthly amounts.

    If (giving regularity == 'Each year') then

    Amount given/12

    on the other

    If (giving regularity == "Quarterly") then

    Amount given/3

    on the other

    If (giving regularity == "Monthly") then

    Given amount * 1

    endif

    I'm sure it's very basic, but I would appreciate any advice from you in the pros.

    Capture.PNG

    Hello

    Make sure that you call your objects with the names of right...

    Object names can not have spaces, so when you specify "Given the regularity" or "Given amount", both are bad...

    don't forget to refer to these values to the right objects

    If you are not sure how to call these objects, you can still use the features of LiveCycle with Ctrl + click on the object...

    For example:

    Make sure your cursor is in the Code Editor, while now Ctrl, hover your mouse over the object to, you should see the change in your mouse to an arrow pointing down, then click on the left button of your mouse (still in holding the CTRL key)

    In your editor, you will see the reference to the object that you want to retrieve the value, it's how you call your object

    I hope this will help you!

  • 2 values can be added to a drop-down list item?

    I probably need to explain what it is I'm doing first. It could even impossible the way I'm doing it. So if there's a better way, please do help. But I try to have items listed in a drop-down list. More precisely the elements that are of different lengths with different numbers. I have been using the value of the elements to do simple calculations to work. But I also want it so that once an item is selected the item to a list of material later in the form printed. I'm sure I can set the value of the element as the item number and I the number displayed next to the item (in another column) later in the order form. But I want to be able to always perform the calculations in the subform where is the original drop-down list. Is it possible to assign 2 values (one for use with calculations) and one for use as an item number? Or is there a better way to do what I'm doing? I know I could just name the list drop-down list item and contain the number of point in the name using addItem. But I don't want to confuse the user with numbers, they did not need to see. Only the person who sells the materials needs to know the number of points, not the user.

    Back again...

    Think - the behavior is expected because the values specified in the binding tab lead the overall binding for the drop down menus.

    So if the first dropdown the text resulting from elements such as the display values AND the second dropdown has numbers of items like display settings - then it will work. As long as the two drop-down lists have the same number of elements and sequence in the specified values is the same.

    This means that you must keep two drop-down lists.

    It may be a good idea to have the second dropdown (numbers) configured to read only so that the user cannot interact with it.

    Good luck

  • I can't solve this problem: "Error loading C:\WINDOWS\awuvomas.dll the specific module is not found." Can help you!

    Original title: cannot find awuvomas.dll

    I can't solve this problem: "Error loading C:\WINDOWS\awuvomas.dll the specific module is not found."  Can help you!

    It is sometimes easy to get rid of the error message by doing something like disable the startup item in msconfig (if you can still find), but I suggest you fix the problem and difficulty not only the symptom of the problem by simply deleting the startup message.
    I would also not recommend you start digging in the registry to try to find the startup item and remove it unless you have a backup of your system or at least a backup of your registry, because there is no 'Cancel' or 'quit without saving changes' option in regedit.  If you make a mistake, that's all.
    These ideas relieve 'rapid' and sometimes risky of the symptom if they not even work at all, but they can't actually solve the problem.  Also, I'd be suspicious of ideas that begin with the words "try."  You don't need to try things, you need to fix things.  You don't need to try ideas that might work, you must do something that will always work all the time.
    Here are the detailed instructions that protect you and solve your problem in the 'right' way.
    There is very little. DLL files that should be loaded from the C:\WINDOWS folder and is not one of them.  If you do not have a good explanation for the name of the file in a Google search, the chances are good that your system is currently or has been infected by malware.
    A "Cannot find...". ', ' Failed to start..., "Could not load..." ». "Might not work... "" Cannot run ""error loading... ". "or"specific module could not be found"message at startup is usually related to the malware that has been configured to run at startup, but the referenced file has been removed after a malware scan, leaving behind him a startup item or the registry entry pointing to a file that does not exist.
    It might be a removal of malicious software or an application not installed.  The entry may have a curious looking name since it was probably generated at random when the malware was installed. If you search your system for the referenced file, you may not find.
    Windows attempts to load this file but cannot locate because the file has been deleted for most probably during an analysis of the malware. However, an orphaned associate of remainders of startup parameter or registry entry and tells Windows to load the file when you start or connection.
    So you should delete the referenced entry Windows stop trying to load or run the file. It may or may not be included in the registry, but you can find it.  Autoruns (see below) you get the elements no matter where it is.

    You must be sure to solve the problem and not just fix the symptom of the problem by simply relieving your message - system is not a fix (there is a difference).

    If you just locate and uncheck the item in msconfig, which disables the element but does not remove the reference to the element of false starting your computer.   The msconfig program is not a Startup Manager, that's a troubleshooting tool.  Disabling things in msconfig to put an end to the messages and think that your problem is solved is short-sighted and leave behind him a sloppy XP configuration.  Just disable the display of a start-up error message should not count as a 'solution' to the problem.
    If you are comfortable editing the registry, you can find and remove the reference directly from there or remove it using a popular third-party tool called Autoruns.  The problem can always be found in the registry well.
    Before making any changes to your registry by hand or with third-party tools, don't forget to first make a backup of the registry
    . There is no cancellation or exit without saving the option in regedit.
    Here is a link to a popular registry backup tool:
    You can also use the Autoruns to find the element of start remains little matter where he's hiding.  Autoruns does not install anything on your computer.  It will display all startup locations where the reference may be then you can turn it off or remove it completely.  Here is the download link for Autoruns:
    Run Autoruns.exe and wait that he at the end of the filling of the list of entries.
    When the Autoruns is finished scanning your system, it will say "Ready" in the lower left corner.  Autoruns can be a little intimidating to first if you have never seen it before because it displays a lot of information.  You are really interested only a few sections.
    The problem is usually to start the system or the user startup entries, then click the connection tab and see if the startup item is there.
    Scroll through the list and look for a boot entry associated files in the error message.
    If you can't find on the connection tab, look in any tab.
    You can also click file, search to search for logon, or any tab for all or part of the name of the element.
    Right-click on the offending entry and choose Remove.  If you are not sure what it is, you can just turn it off, restart and if the problem is resolved and things are functioning normally and everything works fine, then remove the offending entry.  If you don't see it in Autoruns, you may edit the registry and remove the item from your startup folder it.  Autoruns shall display the same information however.
    Given that your system has or has had an infection, follow up with this:
    Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:

    No matter what you use for malware protection, follow these steps:

    Hello

    1. don't you make changes to the computer until the problem occurred?

    2. What is the exact error message do you get?

    I suggest you try the steps mentioned below and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Start your system in safe mode and check if the same problem occurs.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

     

    Method 2 If the issue does not exist in Mode safe mode then try to put your computer in a clean boot state.

    By setting your boot system minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

     

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

    Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting step, follow step 7 in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

    Follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click on start toreduce this top that i, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click continue.

    (b) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    (c) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click restart.

    Method 3:
