It came with my Creative Suite 3

[gcaluna13]

Hi Folks,

This isn't exactly an Indesign question, but I'm not sure if there is a forum for the extras that came with my Adobe CS3 bundle.

It's about Livecycle forms... If anyone knows the answer it would be much appreciated.

I created a form with an email button that, once filled out, directs the user input back to own email just to test it out... The porblem is that it comes back to me looking entirely different than the original form...no graphics, no nothing... just code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <form1>
<TextField1>g</TextField1>
<TextField1>g</TextField1>
<TextField1>g</TextField1>
<TextField1>g</TextField1>

Any Ideas?

Again... sorry about using this forum, just didn't know who to ask.


Hasta,
G

This is an Acrobat issue which really belongs in the Acrobat forum.

You open this file in Acrobat under the Forms menu->Manage Form Data->Import.

I'm sure it can also be handled in Livecycle Designer somehow.

The reason why you see XML is that it saves storage space. You don't want to archive thousands of copies of the same form; you just want the data. When you load the XML back into your program, it associates it with the original form and displays as you would expect.
