LiveCycle dynamic form that prints copies with different texts on each copy

Question

I need to create a dynamic form with adobe LiveCycle. User enter the data in a form, and then, we need to generate a printable version of a document, with different copies of that printable version, and different texts on each copy, like "copy for you", "copy por bank", ....

Anyone knows how can I do that, in a simply and elegant way?

Answer 1

This is a typical business case. You can:

• Implement the business logic in your orchestration and render multiple copies of the same form with different data ( like the one you mentioned in your description) or
• You can make your template smart so that it creates multiple copies of each form and generate the templates with the data outlined above.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions or require clarification.

Add a Print Button in your from with Presence = Visible(Screen Only)(If you dont want to Print the Button in form). Then add a textfield at the place where you want to print "Customer Copy/Bank Copy". In my case, I placed a text field at the top right and named it "Documenta". Then in the click script of print button, add following :

Documenta.rawValue = "Customer Copy"  
xfa.host.print(1, "0", (xfa.host.numPages -1).toString(), 0, 1, 0, 0, 0);  
Documenta.rawValue = "Bank Copy"  
xfa.host.print(1, "0", (xfa.host.numPages -1).toString(), 0, 1, 0, 0, 0);  

When you will press Print Button in the form, it will pop up print option 2 times consecutively having printed Customer Copy and Bank Copy, (without having Print Button printed on it).

In my Case, I wanted to print either 3 Copies, 2 Copies or 1 Copy(separate print button for each), so in 3 copies, I added 2 same extra lines with rawValue = "Transporter copy". And in 1 copy, I didnt want anything, so I kept only two lines with rawValue = "". You can use as many copies you want.
