Setting internationalization options

Specify the locale used to render forms

You can specify the locale used when rendering a PDF form. The fields on a PDF form use the specified locale to display data. For example, if the locale is set to German, the form uses German decimal separators for numeric values. The locale is also used to send validation messages to client devices, such as web browsers, as part of HTML transformations.

  1. In Administration Console, click Services > LiveCycle Forms ES4.

  2. Under Internationalization, in the Language list, select the locale used to render a form. The default value is English (United States).

  3. Click Save.

Specify the character set used to encode the output stream

  1. Under Internationalization, in the Character Set list, select a character set. This setting is dependent on the API used, either renderHTMLForm or renderPDFForm. To specify a character set other than those listed, select Custom and specify an encoding value in the box that is displayed.

    For HTML transformations, LiveCycle supports character encoding values defined by the java.nio.charset package. To view a list of supported values, go to http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/intl/encoding.doc.html.

    If sFormPreference is PDFForm, only specific character sets are supported.

    The character set must be a valid canonical name. The default value is ISO-8859-1.

  2. Click Save.
