I made a PDF fillable form. I sent it out to all of our members. Now what I'm getting back is xml data, not the form filled in as a PDF. Is there anyway to fix this now so that I get it back as a PDF form ?
PDF form returned as XML
this.print()
In the JS guide this.print is used as an example like the one below. I get TypeError: this.print is not a function when I try to use this.print on a button click event. I"m trying to print to pdf to remove any db connections which always error out when the form is opened by anyone but me since the connection is only local. Someone said I might try printing to pdf and this is the script I found in the JS Guide. Should this work for me from a function in config.js in a trusted folder. All the other functions in this file work fine.
var printmenowtopdf = app.trustedFunction(function(doc,two,three) {
app.beginPriv();
var myPath = app.getPath("user", "documents") + "/_pdf/" + three + two + "_" + myDateString() + ".pdf";
this.print({
bUI: false,
printerName:"Adobe PDF",
fileName:myPath,
bSilent: true,
bShrinkToFit: true,
});
app.endPriv();
});
thanks for your help

Printing text in Gray color
Hi,
I have forms which are printing all the grey color text in dark black, on xerox printers. When the output is of PS type, it works all well and good, but for PCL, it is printing all black.
I have been using hppcl5c.xdc for PCL. Do I need to have a xerox XDC? If yes, where can I get it or what changes do I need to make to the HP XDC in order to make it work?
Is there probably a specific property that needs to be changed in order to get the Gray text printed gray instead of black?
Is there anything else that I am probably not doing right?
Thanks.
Here is my XDC if you need:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><?xfa generator=
Adobe LiveCycle - Has a working Submit Button with Dynamic Subject, Email but cannot change filetype
Adobe LiveCycle - Has a working Submit Button with Dynamic Subject, Email but cannot change filetype.
I have a hidden email buttton and a regular button with the following code
EmailSubmitButton1.event__click.resolveNode("#submit").target = "mailto:customer@customer.com;"+e.rawValue+"?subject="+z.rawValue+"&body="+z.rawValue;
EmailSubmitButton1.execEvent("click");
The button works great but the filename is random characters and its a .xml.
I did some research and i know the suggestions are to switch the button control type to submit and then change the filetype to PDF but then my submit button doesnt work anymore with the dynamic subject/email/body....any suggestions?
Also is there anyway to dynamically change the filename as well?
Please help, thank you!
LiveCycle Output: Font cannot be found (PDF/A) but is installed
Heya!
I'm using LiveCycle ES3 OutputModule calling the GenerateOutput2 method via SOAP to merge an XDP with XML data to an PDF/A document.
Unfortunately I get the output:
"(com.adobe.document.xmlform.ReturnStatus@33c0ab2b) XMLForm, render : 20511, Requested font 'Liberation Sans' was not found and font substitution is not allowed for PDF/A."
The "missing" font is located at/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-liberation/.
I have a headless Linux server, so I configure everything using
/.../adobe_livecycle_es3/configurationManager/bin/ConfigurationManager.sh
In my cli_property.txt file, I've set the following settings:
AdobeFontsDir=/opt/adobe/adobe_livecycle_es3/fonts/
customerFontsDir=
systemFontsDir=/usr/share/fonts/
The properties were deployed via
./ConfigurationManagerCLI.sh configureLiveCycle -f cli_propertyFile.txt
I'm stuck here and looking forward to any help.
Thanks in advanced.

PDF Generator - Error Occerued During Native App Invocation
I receive this error message when trying to convert a DOC to a PDF. At first I was trying to do this as part of a workflow, but then determined that the issue is bigger. I get the exact same error when attempting to convert a DOC to a PDF in the Admin UI.
I've been doing a lot of research and cannot find a solution. Here are some details: I CAN convert a JPG to a PDF using the Admin UI. We do have a turnkey installation of LiveCycle ES 8.0 on a Windows Server 2003 environment. We do have MS Office 2003 installed on the server. I also attempted a TXT file and it gave me the same error.
Obviously the error indicates that whatever part of MS Office/Word it is trying to invoke to make the conversion is not working. I tried looking up the user that runs JBOSS and giving that user full access permission to WinWord.exe and that didn't do it. Am I on the right track? Perhaps LiveCycle calls a different file than WinWord.exe?
I don't think our MS Office install is a problem because it is a standard install and functions just fine on its own. Note, that if I create a new Word doc in Word, I AM able to save it as a PDF using the Adobe toolbar.
Has anyone seen this or have any idea what the issue could be???
Thank you so much!

"this computer must be connected to the network" message
I am a subscriber to a service that uses LiveCycle. I have downloaded a pdf to read and when I click on it I get a "This computer must be connected to the network in order to open this document".
I am connected to the web. I use a firewall router between my DSL modem and my mac. I have not had any problems before this. Of course I could physically disconnect the firewall router but that's not a good solution for ongoing use. Are there specific ports that LiveCycle needs?
Mac OS 10.5.5
Adobe Professional 8.1.3
Linksys VPN BEFVP41 firewall & VPN router
Is there a specific port that needs to be open? or firewall setting? We have not had this problem with other accounts.
Thanks in advance

PDFGenerator/OCR fails if primary OCR language EN
The scanned document Nextra.tif converts and ocrs fine in stand-alone Acrobat 8.1.1 Pro on any Primary OCR language settings.
When I try PDFGenerator in LiveCycle adminui and Primary OCR language in File Settings is EN, DE, FR, SP or IT everything works fine.
However, when I select language for example Polish, Croatian, Hungarian, … I just got error:
Error Code:16003

Here is the stacktrace as I found it in the log:

The second problem is that, the Primary OCR language I really need to set is Czech or Slovak, but LiveCycle offers only no existing Czechoslovakian language.
Is there way in LiveCycle PDFGenerator to convert and ocr a scanned document on Czech or Slovak language setting?
I installed the Adobe Acrobat 8.1.1 Pro and LiveCycle for JBoss using Turnkey + SP1b on Windows Server 2003.

Can anyone please provide their inputs on the above issue. How it can be resolved?
or
Is there any API to convert any native file format to PDFA directly?
Thanks.
Email PDF Form as a PDF Document
My apologies if this has been answered - if so please point me to the post. I've looked and can't find the relevant discussion.
I am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8 to create a PDF form and using an email button to submit the form as a PDF. Once all the fields are filled out I need this document to save as a regular, unalterable, PDF. This will be emailed to a secretary who only has Acro Reader 8 (tho I could get her Acro Pro, I'd rather avoid buying another license) and she needs to save this electronically as a permanent copy of the file. When she receives the email tries to save though it says she can only save as a blank doc. This completely defeats the purpose of the exercise. The form needs to be rendered and submitted as a PDF doc not a PDF form. I'm stumped.
Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated!

ejb/Invocation exception pdf generator
I have LC 8.2 PDF Generator deployed to Websphere 6.1.0.15 (Network Deployment) on windows enterprise server 2003 SP 2. I have successfully run configuration manager from start to end so all products are configured and deployed.
The problem i am having is i'm trying to call the pdf generator service remotely. Even if i remove the authentication code and try and call the generator service i still get this ejb/invocation exception.
I have previously been able to call the service locally with results now i cant do either.
Please can someone help me or just point me in the right direction to solve this problem.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

Using Assembler to Create Subsections in PDF Document
I have multiple PDF documents. I want to assemble them into a single PDF document and be able to specify that some of the assembled documents generate sub-sections of others.
So, with four documents, Doc1.pdf, Doc2.pdf, Doc3.pdf and Doc4.pdf I want to assemble such that
Doc1 generates Section 1
Doc2 generates Section 1.1
Doc3 generates Section 1.2
Doc4 generates Section 1.2.1
Watermark?
LiveCycle won't let me add a watermark.
I have tried to add a watermark in Adobe Acrobat Pro, but the option is greyed out.
Trying to merge two documents in Acrobat Pro - the form plus a blank PDF page with a watermark - does not work.
