Hi,
We are having difficulty access the OutputIVS page in order to perform Installation Verification which seems to point to a wider issue around SSL.
When accessing the OutputIVS link and clicking on "Test your form designs", we are thrown with the following:
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeexception: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PFIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certiication path to requested target
Whilst the means to fix it are known, what I'd like to know is:
1) Why are other browser based sessions e.g. workspace, performing successful end to end operations without this error ?
2) Is SSL encryption secure for services operating over SSL that seem just to work without producing this error ?
3) Is there any additional logging that we could apply to get more details on this ?
Kind Regards
I've built a timer job in Sharepoint (C#) to convert Word documents to PDF/A but now the requirement may be changed to outputting to PDF/A-2. Does anyone know which versions of Livecycle support PDF/A-2 conversions?
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.

With ES2 or ES4, saving output as a static pdf results in the following when previewing and when viewing in Acrobat 9.4.5:
When viewing in Reader X or XI, or when saving as a dynamic pdf and viewing in Acrobat 9.4.5, the output is as expected:
One obvious solution is to upgrade everyone to Acrobat X+, but that's not an option for the enterprise. Is there scripting I could add or a registry fix or some other alternative to hiding these annotation sequence numbers (or whatever they're referred to) in the static pdf, as the EDMS delivering this pdf to the end-users cannot currently handle XFA-enabled PDFs and so it must be static?
My suspicion is this is more of an Acrobat 9.4.5 issue than an LC issue, but I have researched extensively and cannot find a resolution.
Hello!
I've built a small process to merge XML files with XDP templates, generating PDF files at the end of the process.
Right now the process is generating all files with a fixed name + a random number, as defined in the Input panel (literal value with option "Appen a suffix..." checked.
I'd like to change this so the resulting files have the same name as the input files, changing only the extension (PDF instead of XML).
I believe I should change from literal value to XPath expression, in order to build the resulting name based on the input file name.
QUESTION: what function should I use to get the input file name in XPath builder (if this is the right place to do it) ?
I tried with:
getDocAttribute(/process_data/@docApolicesXML,"wsfilename") + ".PDF"
Does not work.
Thanks a lot for any hints!

Hi Folks,
I've got a form which uses fragments.This form previews fine in the designer, but when I try to run it using generatePDF Output in a process, the parts that come from the fragments are gone.
The following entries are in the log:

Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?

How do I set up a .pdf form to save filled data without having to print the form? I have provided my clients a lifecycle .pdf form they can use to record data for unique client meetings. They want the ability to save their completed data whenever they use the form under a unique file name. I've told them the only way I know how to do this is to print the completed form as a .pdf document and then save it.
Is their a way to save the data to a unique file name without printing the filled form?
Is there a way to reset the form with blank fields after saving? or to add a clear fields button?
Thanks.
Hi,
I am not sure if assembler can create a XFA + Flatten pdf to a XFA form.
I want to assemble a pdf1 (xfa) with pdf2 (flatten) to produce a pdf3.
Pdf3 should not be completely xfa or flatten, so that i can submit pdf3 on hit of button and extract out xml out of it.
PDF1 is an application form
PDF2 is just instruction page, so i want to keep it as flatten to reduce size of this pdf.
PD3 should be XFA cum flatten, so when it is rendered to user and user clicks on submit button. It will submit the entire pdf.
Please let me know how do i do using assembler.
Regards
Sunil
Hi,
very new to LifeCycle.
We have generated XDP files and need to store them in a LCA archive file.
We can do this via the workbench but is there a way of creating the archive file outside of the workbench tool so we can script this.
That might be a command line tool or java API for example.
Regards,
John
Hello there
I am trying to solve an issue with the dynamic positioning of a subform not working when the form is rendered from a process.
I have a flowed XDP based form with a variable amount of content, and a “totals” subform that needs to be positioned at the bottom of the last page. I do this with some JavaScript which works out the current Y position of the “totals” subform, and then sets the top margin of a proceeding “spacer” subform appropriately. The code runs on the docReady eavent of the main subform, and runs correctly when the form is rendered dynamically, for example from within Designer.
We need to be able to generate the form using a LiveCycle service. When we attempt this using the generatePDFOutput service, the code correctly calculates and sets the required margin. However, setting the margin has no effect (the “totals” subform is not moved). I am unclear why this does work, i.e. why there is a different effect when rendering the form from the process.
I am unable to move the code to an earlier event. The latest event for which setting a margin actually works is formReady. However, at this point the code to determine the current Y position of the “Totals” subform does not work.
One idea I had was to render the form twice. On the first rendering of the form, the code could calculated the required margin. On the 2nd rendering of the form, the margin would be set at an appropriately early event such as initialise. However, I do not know how to pass a value calculated in JavaScript back to a process.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Many thanks

I need a way to print PDF files from a server directory with no human intervention. I'll know what printer I want to print on from the server and the name of the PDF file. I just want the process to spool the PDF file by running some process or workflow or something. I can even invoke a service from a SOA BPEL if that is available. What is the best solution for this? I'm going to have a process request a service to put a PDF file in a specific directory on the server and I need a way to spool that PDF to a specific network printer without a human being involved. What is the best way to do this?
Occationally Form Developers make mistakes in their Outpu (or input) forms. Hence they introduce the possibility of an exception to be thrown when the form is rendered server side.
How is it possible (server side) to catch these exceptions and report them somewhere - I have not found an exception handler in WorkBench (lightning icon) that handles this.
Hope you understand what I mean?
Thanks in advance
Sincerely
Kim Christensen
I have a huge problem, because Javascript does not seem to work at all.
In LiveCycle-Designer, it works fine, but using the Output Server (JBoss on Redhat), it doesn't work. I always get this message (or similar):

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!
All,
