Hi,

I am pretty new to Adobe Forms and have the following problem:

I want to change the properties of a datamatrix barcode (it's not a paper form barcode), especially the number of segments. By default only 4 segments are created (at least if the content is not bigger). I tried to change it with a FormCalc-script, but couldn't manage to do it.

This is my code:

Code3.ui.#barcode.dataColumnCount = "1"

Code3.ui.#barcode.dataRowCount    = "2"

"Code3" is the name of the barcode, the values are just examples. I played around a lot with these values, but could not see any difference. I inserted the script at different events, all without any change:

initialize

layout:ready

form:ready

Can someone tell me where my mistake is? Or is the change of these properties not supported for datamatrix?

I am using Adobe Livecycle Designer ES2 in an SAP-system.

Best regards,

Daniel

Hi, I have been playing around with a barcode scanner (by the way I dont have a clue) and I've converted a form into a PDF document. I'm trying to move to the next field after the data has been populated in a previous field automatically. I'm not sure if this is done within Adobe Acrobat it self or on the scanner.

The scanner has several different modes, TERMINATION CHAR - CR, TERMINATION - LF, TERMINATION CR+LF and DISABLED.

I believe one of them put a ENT after the data from a barcode and one of the others doesnt. Any ideas?

Hello

We have 2D forms that we accept in printed format or via electronic submission.  When they are printed we use the Decode to extract the data before processing.  When we get them back electronically, instead of using the Decode we use the formDataIntegration.Export data call.  We have mapped a xsd to the form to facilitate this.  An advantage of using the export data call is that we dont have to deal with print issues such as smudged barcodes, bleeding ink, thin paper, etc..

BUT im wondering performance wise is one better than the other?

A scanned form is 40kb while our electronic form is 400 kb (mainly because we only scan the barcoded page).

Is 1 more CPU intensive?  Does 1 require more RAM and other system resources than the other?

Are the both multithreaded or single threaded?

I ask because we currently have a 70/30 split of scans/electronic submissions but because we will be outsourcing this and our pilot is showing a 99/1 split (scans/electronic).

Hello ,

I have a lifecycle designer 8.1 on windows 7 machine, my requirement is to place the UPC-A barcode without the human readable number underneath the bars and with the interspacing between the bars as 0.020.

Is the above requirement feasible and possible, please provide your inputs .

Thanks in advance.

Pooja

I already created form in PDF file which is validate completely .But , I required generate a barcode of all field of form using custom script on button click event.

Please give me right way for doing it .

Thanks in Advance,

Jaydeep Solanki.

Hello,

I am developing a process to extract data from a particular type of barcode that may be embedded in PDF documents that we receive.   Files are dropped into a watched folder for processing.

When I set the Batch Size parameter to more than 1, in the hope of improving throughput, we sometimes see errors like the following:

HI,

I am trying to understand licensing with the use of a 2D barcode, javascript, and the free reader. Basically, I would like to take pre-generated PDFs (no existing forms fields) and in Acrobat pro 8.0 add a barcode to it, launch it from a webpage passing in specific account data to generate the barcode value and then have users print and manually fill out the form. They would then scan in the form, the barcode would be read to associate the form to a patient chart and an 'image' of the form would be uploaded and filed into are system.

The user would NOT be filling in electronic form data; they would be manually writing in the information. The only thing that would be dynamic on it would be the barcode which would get populated from internal javaScript that parsed information from the webLink call.

From what I can find on the web is that I have to pay for some kind of form licensing (using liveCycle extension?) if I want to distribute these forms to be read by the free reader. If I am going to distribute these forms to more then 500 individual users (from Acrobat 8.0 Licens agreement 14.13.3)

This all seems to be true based on the fact that I am using a dynamic barcode (free reader currently grey’s out the barcode unless I “enable user rights in adobe reader’ which then sounds like I am bound to the licensing agreement above)

Installing and using liveCycle extensions server/app seems like overkill for what I am trying to do. Am I missing something or am I on the right path? I have been calling our sales rep for adobe and trying to talk to others there as well and no one seems to know the answer.

Thank you,

- Josh W.

Can somebody point me to an example of a process that can handle mutiple barcodes in a single document ?

I have created a form in designer with a QR barcode, saved to a tif file. I am able to extract the data to xml using Barcode Forms decoder followed by extract to xml. When adding a second barcode it fails with  java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException,

how should I change the process to handle multiple barcodes ?

thanks

Steve

I have a situation where we have a PDF form with multiple rows, (rows can be added as per the user's requirement), means user can click AddRow button and pdf will generate a new row to fill the data. There is no max limit of the rows, it vary and can be anywhere from row 1..10, 1..100, or 1..50 and so on.....

The first pice of the form is to create table/row with Add Row button has been completed. I have already added the AddRow button functionality into the form, but we also need to point the row's data to the barcode. Each data row should point to a single barcode 1 to 1 bases (One row one barcode). How to implement and design the barcode so that each row will be handled dynamically with one barcode? Or, if there is any better approach to handle this.

I would really appreciate if you could send any document, example or sample.

Thanks!

I added a paper Forms Barcode to a form.  When I press Tab after entering data the barcodes turns white and then solid grey.

Why does it happenned?

Under the value tab, I only checked Automatic scripting, format delimited, delimiter is TAB nad I use a collection data.

The barcode does not have any warnings or errors icons.

Hi,

I'm using the adobe livecycle addon for the SAP GUI. I need to generate a datamatrix that contains a group separator character.

This is a machine control character so you cannot enter it in the value field.

Is there a way to have group separators in a datamatrix?

Or does adobe provides a GS1 datamatrix?

Kind regards,

Dider

i am looking at buying a ADO livecycle barcoded forms and decoder license. Any idea how do i buy it?

Hi,

As I develop my form in LiveCycle designer, I'm setting a drop down list in the form. As seen on the tutorials we have to input the data to for the drop down list one by one.

Can the list be imported from an excel file to make it easier?

Thank you

Hi All,

I have a form and I'm using a PDF417 barcode to store all XML data.

The form is big and I need to compress data.

That is the part I already did... What I need now is how to uncompress

the data in workbench after I use Decode operation from Barcoded Forms

and save the XML.

After decode I got binary data...

How can I uncompress a compressed PDF417?...

thanks to all

I am creating a form for my company in our effort to go paperless and to do all forms or paperwork in a tablet. One way we are trying to accomplish this is by scanning barcodes into LiveCycle to populate tables with certain information that has been stored in the barcode using a barcode scanner. My question is whether this is possible or not, and if it is possible, how to do so?

Any information or advice would be welcomed and greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

We have a system configured as a vertical cluster (2 jboss instances on a single server using gemfire).  In late December node 1 stopped processing files and seemed to interfere with node 2 processing: if node 2 was processing files and node 1 was started, the processing on node 2 would stop, and then when node 1 was stopped the processing on node 2 would resume.  No node 2 is dead as well.  Just emits messages in the log like:

2013-01-25 14:41:42,582 info  [com.adobe.idp.dsc.workmanager.workload.statistic.MemoryStatistic] Memory statistic is 73.0

No amount of restarting, clearing out the stage folders, clearing the LiveCycle temp area, redeploying jboss components seems to unjam the system.  Adobe support has been unhelpful to date.  Willing to entertain suggestions from the field.

I have seen in various areas of the Adobe website that this is available for purchase as a seperate Enterprise product, but cannot see how to do this. Even downloading a trial at this stage would be very useful to make progress on a project.

This comment from: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Standard/WSB6B0B0A6-FD16-4d4b-A729-815994F689BF.ht ml

"Note: Acrobat Capture and LiveCycle Barcoded Forms Decoder are standalone products appropriate for enterprise workflows and are sold separately from Acrobat."

As background, we are not developing the barcoded form, we will just receive a form which we will scan, extract the data and save it in an XML file.

Any rapid help would be greatly appreciated!

JOHN

Ok. I am a dummy I admit it.

Can anyone help me create a 2d barcode on a form where the user actually fille in a text field and the value can be also used in the barcode?

Thanks in advance

How do I add attributes to a Barcode in LiveCycle?  In other words, how do input that I want the barcode to take info from a couple required fields?

Thank you!
