No support of the XFA form?

Hello

Recently, I needed to host a few PDF documents made by the tax administration through EchoSign. They were in XFA format and imported. However, I couldn't text EchoSign labels to work (XFA forms do not support field names that have semicolons). In addition, the rendering of form boxes was distant: http://i.imgur.com/Im8vB49.png. (It seems perfectly fine in 3 different readers PDF, but not the EchoSign one.)

The problem seems to be that EchoSign does not support XFA forms. Surely, this must be wrong, I thought at the time. The standard for XFA forms dates back to 2007, and Adobe has been pushing for a while. Adobe obviously holds both LiveCycle Designer and EchoSign, so they must be able to work together.

Five hours and five programs Adobe later, I had no solution. I googled for a competitor to PDF Editor and was able to convert XFA forms in AcroForm files PDF compatible with less than 10 minutes and add text tags. I lost a lot of time purely to learn that Adobe (Acrobat, LiveCycle Designer) products may work with other Adobe (EchoSign) products.

As an outsider to these questions, it seems really, really bad. I mean it's 2014, getting close to 2015 and that standard is so old that even the IRS uses these forms, but Adobe EchoSign can even support one of their own native Adobe formats? It's completely confusing.

Maybe this isn't the right place for this kind of feedback; I do not know. I just did not see any active discussion on this via Google from 2011.

EchoSign supports static XFA forms, but dynamic XFA forms will not be processed at all except if flattened first. Normal PDF forms can be processed by Echosign and most of Acroform fields will be converted to EchoSign form fields, especially if using Acrobat 11, convert to characteristic EchoSign.

EchoSign is also not a PDF reader, when you get to the stage of signature that you see a raster of high quality of the downloaded file with fields EchoSign superimposed on top.

For static XFA, you cannot use the new text ISAM format label this syntax included ':'. You can use the old style of place text tag to name your fields, although the old style does not allow the recent additions of functionality. I have attached an old marking guide.

A better way to use text tags in the LC Designer is to use text boxes and use current text with the {{}} tags and colon instead.

Or if you lucky to have access to a full LC Server, you can create a workflow that ends by flattening a XFA dynamic/XDP and send the PDF filled but flattened the Echosign API to get a final signature.

  • Weird FormCalc error on xfa.form.recalculate)

    Using FormCalc I get an accessor unknown error using xfa.form.recalculate (1).

    Error: the "xfa.form.recalculate("1")" accessor is unknown.

    If I get out of the statement I have in there and slap it on a button, it works.

    Statement: that is:

    vIndex var = $. parent.parent.index

    If (vIndex > 0) then

    Page02.subStep0203._subDiscArGr.removeInstance (vIndex)

    Page03.subStep04._subConduct.removeInstance (vIndex)

    Page03.subStep05A._subFile.removeInstance (vIndex)

    _subRespondent.removeInstance (vIndex)

    XFA. Form.Recalculate (1)

    endif

    Also, I get the error if I put the line out of the if statement.

    I'll probably just do it again in JavaScript but generally FormCalc is much more easy/fast for this sort of thing. And I'm curious to know what happens!

    Hey, Jono, you get this error if you remove the object that is executing this script. So I guess that one of these 4 subforms above your xfa.form.recalculate (1) is the subform button parent. It is a suicide!

    Try to recalculate it above the line for which you remove the parent of the button and see what happens.

  • Dynamic XFA forms and Acrobat Professional

    Hello

    I have the following statement of our software provider and want to check if it is correct: «you can't create/modify dynamic XFA forms with Adobe Acrobat.» Creation of dynamic XFA forms requires Adobe LiveCycle Forms Designer supplied with Acrobat 7, 8, 9 and X Professional; and is not included in Acrobat Professional XI. You can fill out the forms using Acrobat Professional but they are static forms. »

    Is this correct? Between the change in the way that LiveCycle designer has been distributed (provided with Acrobat Pro then separately) and Acrobat Pro vs. Adobe FormsCentral, it is not easy to see what is necessary to do now with Acrobat Pro XI.

    Thank you!

    R.

    Yes, this description is correct. It is also important to understand that there is no connection between the LCD and FormsCentral. Two things are very different.

    CF is a service based on the web for the design of forms, their distribution and then collects the results. Since it is more what remains of him is his desktop application that can be used to create a (simple) PDF forms from scratch. The resulting file is a standard PDF Acrobat format, not a form of LCD.
