PDF from Adobe LiveCycle Designer - common fields problem

Post by Nebulo »

I have to fill fields in PDF created in Adobe LiveCycle Designer. I have problem with with fields in Master Pages - fields common for all pages in a document.
In the PDFXChange Viewer application, when I type the text in these fields, the text remains visible as long as I do not exit the field. When I exit the field, the entered text disappears.
Please see attached PDFXCViewer-Issue.png screenshot and test_master_pages_fields.pdf sample file.

Best Regards

Hello Neburo,

For the moment our Viewer does not have full XFA support.
Such full support is planned for ver3, but I will speak with the dev guys to check whether there is anything we can do before that.

Regards,
Stefan

I have XChange viewer installed on couple of machines, and I noticed that on one of them (2.0 build 44.0) - it works. How is that possible?" What do I need to check?

When I've used JS

Code: Select all

test = "";
for (i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++)
{
  test = test + i + " - " + this.getNthFieldName(i) + "\r\n" ;
}
I noticed, that PDFXCViewer handles common fields as separate. That is ok with me. The only problem is that text entered in those fields is discarded.

Hi,

I've found info that PDF XChange Viewer SDK 2.5 supports XFA, so I've tried example attached at the begin of the topic in this version and the issue is still unresolved.
