• What is the difference between Pro Acrobat and LiveCycle Designer 8.1ES?

  Hello

  What is the difference between Pro Acrobat and LiveCycle Designer 8.1ES?

  Thank you

  Hello

  They are two different programs.

  Acrobat

  This can be used to generate other types of document native PDF files. In addition, you can create forms that are called AcroForms. These retain most of the functionality that looks like in Acrobat to comment on.

  The form IS a PDF file.

  Acrobat is avialable for Windows and Mac.

  LiveCycle Designer

  This program is used to develop forms and is completely separate from Acrobat. The forms are called XFA forms, which means XML Forms Acrhitecture. The focus is quite the processing of data.

  While the forms that are created in the designer of the LC can be opened in Acrobat (Reader), they are not native PDF files and some of the features normally is not available. For example, while you can add data to the fields when the form is opened in Acrobat, you can not change the form itself in Acrobat. If you want to change the form, you will need to open again in LC Designer.

  It comes with the Windows of Acrobat Pro version. There isn't a Mac version of LC Designer.

  It's a broad overview brush, it could be useful.

• Adobe LiveCycle Designer & Mac?

  Please help me understand this:

  I have a Mac.

  I have Acrobat Pro XI creative cloud.

  There is a button in Acrobat Pro XI that says «Edit text & Images»

  When I press this button, it says

  "This shape cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to modify this form. »

  It is a software that is not available on Mac, OK?

  I hope that I don't need to indicate in detail how useless / lazy is the design of the user experience.

  Instead, there are questions, so many questions:

  1. Why is there a button that does nothing.

  2 the help text for the button that does nothing why I use software that I can't run.

  3 are seriously assert that Mac users cannot edit a PDF file using your software?

  First part of a list:

  -You try to edit a document that is an XFA form created in FormsCentral or Adobe LiveCycle Designer.

  -Acrobat cannot change this document type for a good reason.  If that were the case, it would break the XML provided in an XFA form associations.  So, it is protected by changing permissions that don't allow Acrobat to edit.

  -If you need to modify this document, you actually need Adobe LiveCycle Designer, or FormsCentral.

  Second part in another list:

  -Normally "Edit text and Images" allows you to edit a form or a PDF file created in Adobe Acrobat.

  -It's actully a very useful tool in most cases.

• How can I use a script in a Livecycle Designer form, to force the display of text in title case?

  Hello

  I'm a 'newbie' who's DIY'ing the construction of a dynamic form using Adobe Livecycle Designer 7 (I know it's a VERY old version!)

  [Thus, any aid that arrives must be "for Idiots"!]

  I need to build a code (Java script?) so some of my text fields DISPLAY data in the case of title - no matter how the user types in the data.

  Thus, for example, in a text field "address"...

  If someone types in...

  "sherborne 205 avenue.

  -OR-

  "205 Sherborne avenue"

  -OR-

  '205 SHERBORNE AVENUE'...

  I need the data to be DISPLAYED ESSENTIALLY as...

  "205 Sherborne Avenue".

  I found the following online and tried code in the event "output" of the field that I need to change (with 'language' chosen as JavaScript)...

  < this.rawValue = this.rawValue.replace (/ \b([a-z])/g, function (_, original) {return initial.toUpperCase () ;});})   >

  ... Was done to convert all the 'initial' words in uppercase letters - as LONG as they have not ALL typed in capital letters!

  Thus, this code has worked for the first two of my samples for Sherborne Avenue above - but it has NOT worked for the last...

  "205 AVENUE of SHERBORNE" does NOT get converted to title case - which is what I need help.

  Thanks in advance...
  

  I divided it in multimuple lines, but you could do without doubt in one if you wish

  var sometext = this.rawValue;

  someText = sometext.toLowerCase ();

  this.rawValue = sometext.replace (/ \b([a-z])/g, function (_, original) {return initial.toUpperCase () ;});})

• Error XML and IEventDispatcher? also - what is complex XML?

  to begin, I'm still pretty much a newb...

  I'm working with XML on a Flash Builder project. The XML is defined as follows:
  
  [Bindable]
  public var someXML:XML = new XML)
  < someData label "One" >
  < someMoreData >
  ....
  
  I get the following warning:
  
  WARNING: unable to bind to property 'someMoreData' class 'XML' (class is not)
  an IEventDispatcher)
  
  1. what should I do so that the class will be an IEventDispatcher?
  
  2. in addition, I don't know the definition of 'complex XML. Can someone enlighten me
  on who?
  
  Thank you!
  
  Mark

  1. you should probably concatenate your XML together in a string, then create the XML as a new XML (xmlString) object.

  2. If you want to tell a complex content, Adobe docs say the following-

  An XML object is considered as having a simple content or complex content. An XML object that has child nodes is classified as having complex content. An object XML is said to have simple content, if it is one of the following: an attribute, a comment, a processing instruction, or a text node.

  Tire.

• Is LiveCycle Designer ARE 8.2 LiveCycle ES2 or SS1?

  Hello

  I am confused with all the conventions of release of LiveCycle.

  Is LiveCycle Designer ARE 8.2 LiveCycle ES2 or SS1?

  I use ES8.2 of Designer. I manually added some PDF XDP form metadata in the XML Source tab. After the XDP form gets static redendered PDF XFA or dynamic XFA PDF, the PDF metadata I've added manually are lost. I was told there is a fault known with LiveCycle ES1 and it has been fixed in the ES2. So, ask yourself if'RE 8.2 either ES1 ES2?

  Thank you!

• How to create an XFAF (XFA foreground) form in LiveCycle Designer?

  How to create an XFAF (XFA foreground) form in LiveCycle Designer?

  I don't see this option in ' Save as '.

  I see only dynamic 'static form' and 'xml '.

  Thank you

  XFAF designates a PDF with XFA (static shapes) content.

  In the designer, you can save your form designs in dynamic form (PDF XFA) or static form (PDF).

  The static are also sometimes appointed XFAF.

  See page 19 for more information on XFAF xfa.

• Fill PDF forms with LiveCycle Designer - "Permanence" of technology

  I like to PDF using LiveCycle Designer Forms.  I want to use with the organizations, I work to make the forms to fill out.  But I fear that the forms "break" more easily than the Acroforms.  Generally - is this concern of mine?

  -If I have a subform in a form sank makes 'visible' in certain circumstances and "hidden" in others - using a script JavaScript, this feature still works to proceed?  What happens if Adobe sold Designer?  Is - less likely to work on a similar feature in Acroforms?

  -How about the design of the form itself - if designed with LiveCycle Designer - the text, its implementation of form fields and their features, pages...

  Thanks for your comments.

  It is impossible to say if XFA in Acrobat/Reader support will be in the future. Most of the non Adobe PDF viewers and mobile Adobe's PDF viewers have little or no support for XFA forms, dynamics in particular, which has been a problem for a while. AcroForms were much more support and are part of the standard, ISO 32000, unlike XFA. Used in Acroforms JavaScript is being standardized, but I don't think that is the counterpart of XFA.

• How to get LiveCycle Designer 4?

  Last year, I downloaded a trial version of LiveCycle Designer.

  I liked it.

  So we bought 4 licenses.

  Now I need to have my PC reconfigured.

  LiveCycle will go bye-bye.

  I need to re - install.

  But there is not more than the trial download available.

  We purchased licenses and no CD Adobe because said us that we needed only the licenses.

  But now all my licenses does me no good if I don't have the product itself, I won't go after the new image (and no, I don't always have the download for a year, or don't I even think I would have kept it)

  So now that the trial is gone and the possibility to download a copy, on which apply my license, how the hell I'm supposed to do?

  Thank you

  Just download Designer Forms AEM. License keys are compatible.

  Not if you have purchased the designer.

  The designer used to be installed with Acrobat. Certainly since Acrobat XI you must purchase it separately - unless you license server / AEM-Forms-Server. Then you have the included Designer. Or if you use SAP - you can also have a designer.

• InDesign how compare to LiveCycle Designer ES to create interactive form?

  Hi all

  I work as an assistant COMPUTER in a company. Before my job, my supervisor used LiveCycle Designer to create all our forms. Much of this work fell on me now, but I'm trying to figure out which program would be best suited. I find LiveCycle to be somewhat archaic, and it does not sit well with other programs, even in the following Adobe. More alarming, that seems not be supported almost as well as any other program Adobe, as if he were to be progressive. I don't want to learn this program if it becomes obsolete as soon as...

  What I don't like not inDesign, is that while it covers all the defects mentioned, it does not seem much LiveDesigner employs some advanced features. It comes to things like the calculations behind the scenes and scripts in the PDF itself. If I missed those options, I'd love to be corrected.

  What does the community think? LiveCycle Designer is worth learning, or inDesign powerful enough to provide what I need?

  Thank you

  If you want stuff like that, stick with LiveCycle Designer, with all its limitations. LiveCycle Designer is therefore more part of the Acrobat, is Windows only, etc. etc. My impression is that Adobe is it gradually.

  InDesign is just an entry by creating a form in Acrobat. It's a comfortable and familiar layout for InDesign users. There is a large group of people who know how to create and use Acrobat Forms. No doubt some of the things you want from LiveCycle can be done by adding JavaScript, but it happens in Acrobat Pro, not in InDesign. You should spend some time in the forum of PDF Acrobat forms because you would spend part if your time in InDesign, part of your time in Acrobat Pro:
