Baffled. Puzzled and frustrated. How can I insert a chart?

I must say that, so far, I hate 9 of Acrobat and LiveCycle. I find, in particular the LiveCycle (which, for the moment, feels to me like it should be called DeathSpiral), opaque, clumsy and create a lot of seemingly random errors. If you can't tell, I'm surprisingly frustrated. The worse that I have never been with any software I've ever used. It is much worse than the worst of Macromedia, I found to be entirely non-intuitive. I worked on it for 3 DAYS!

Now the problem.

I'm trying to create a simple certificate printable online (a form) with a graphical background (the border of certificate), a username input field, a numeric field entered by the user, and a field that automatically fills the current date with an audio file has been assigned this time (instructions for completing the form) charge only once without showing the reader.

I did before and easily with version 7. I spent almost a year working on a series of projects that had all these features.

Unfortunately, when we loaded version 9 we uninstalled version 7 and no one knows where the discs go.

The problem is that I don't know how to insert automatic date field in Acrobat 9. I can easily do in LiveCycle, BUT I can't find a way to insert the background graphic in LiveCycle.

I tried saving the file with no warranty of any kind and then open it in Acrobat 9, where I can insert a background graphic, and rather mysteriously he says that I "have not sufficient permissions" to insert the background graphic, but does not define the "permissions". What is happening with this?

I tried to make a document in Word that had the background and text arranged correctly, then import in LiveCycle, LiveCycle deletes the graphic background.

Thinking that there might be something wrong with the graph, I tried several different graphics. Same result.

Copy the LiveCycle JavaScript created in Acrobat 9 does not work.

AID is absolutely no help. It is said you can "replace" a background on the master and means that you can add one, but did not say how. None of the terms I searched on that produces all that is actually on my problem. The INSERT menu, where is expected to find a way to insert a chart, is of no use. In fact I can't find anywhere, any command in LiveCycle that any references to graphics.

Copy / paste doesn't seem to work. If I stick a graphic in LiveCycle it appears pixelated and I get a message saying it is not enough for her 'place' (whatever that means). I just assumed I could see a sort of low-rez version, but when I look at the doc in "Overview" of the graph doesn't show at all.

So what I'm looking for is...

  1. a method for inserting graphics in LiveCycle and/or
  2. a method to insert an automatic date field in Acrobat 9 and
  3. an explanation of what are "permissions", in the context of a document without security restrictions and how to deal with them.

Thank you and my apologies for the mug shot.

I'm glad you work!

I remember punch cards did not however use them in anger. Fortran/Fastgino graphic on a Digital Micro-Vax II.

Just to point out where you can get your comments on the script.

In the LC Designer, there's a button check above the script editor, which checks the syntax of the script and let you know if there are errors:

In Acrobat, if you click Control + J will bring you up the Javascript Console. At its simplest, it will highlight of script that failed:

In addition, you can modify the script directly in the console and you can paste the script into the console and press ENTER. He will run the script and either the answer or displays an error:

Hope that helps restore your faith in Acrobat / LC Designer.

  • State BBM BBM message - How can I insert an emoticon?

    I have a classic Blackberry. How can I insert an emoticon in my status message? Not 'personal message '. With my previous BB's "BOLD" if I clicked on the button "symbol" on the keyboard, I could insert an emoticon.

    I see what you mean now, when you attempt to add a custom status no emoticon icon is present: s

    The only suggestion I can make is to enter the shortcode emoticons such as which will turn into the emoticon. The list shows the shortcude after you save the new status, but when switch you to him, shortcodes will appear as corresponding emoticons.

    I'll share this with the BBM team so we can consider to add this option later updated to BBM.

  • How can I insert image into the image in adobe first pro cc 2015

    How can I insert image into the image in adobe first pro cc 2015. I want to put a fixed image on a video sequence as a pip.

    1 import the photo into your project (CTL-I or just drag & drop in the project Panel)

    2 dag photo imported on your timeline in a track located above the video you already have.

    3. click the clip of the photo in the timeline panel and then click on the control panel of the effect of the Source Panel tab.

    4. here you can resize, move, and even rotate the picture of the "query" fixed effect.  You can use the sliders or click on the area next to the word "Query" and use your mouse to do everything from the program Panel.

    Good luck and have fun.  BTW: once you get it you like, you can even animate the PIP to fly in or any other movement, you can think of with keyframes.
