Dimensions of Adobe Form element - dynamic?

Hi,
I have a Java WebDynpro Application that contains a ViewSet, with an adobe form in one of the cells. I would like to have the entire Adobe application frame(including the page number at the bottom) dynamically fit within the real-estate available on a given PC, but I am having issues accomplishing this.
It seems that when defining the form element, it forces you to specify an exact vertical height of the form, say 700px, instead of allowing you to enter 100%, which to me would indicate that it should fill the available vertical space in the grid. When I enter 100% it shows only ~ 1 inch of my form. I can enter a fixed height, but the form displayed may be either too big (a 2nd scroll bar is provided by the WebDynpro in addition to the Adobe scroll bar) or too small (lots of unused space on the screen) for a given pc.
Are there any tricks for configuring the form to have the height adjusted to the PC screen real estate dynamically? Is this a limitation within the View Set of the WebDynpro?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Todd,
What we did is calculate the height and width based on the resolution of the client screen. Instead of directly accessing the Web Dynpro application via an iView, we merely access a portal application that redirects to the Web Dynpro iView. The portal application passes the screen resolution, obtained by some javascript (screen.height and screen.width), to the Web Dynpro application as URL parameters. Based on that information, the Web Dynpro application can calculate the optimal height of the form. It's far from perfect, but since we open the Web Dynpro application in a new, maximized, screen, it works reasonably well (although the tabs in IE7 do cause some trouble).
Kind regards,
Sigiswald

How set adobe form as dynamic

Hello Everybody,
I have a Java WebDynpro application with an adobe form. On adobe form is TextField and Button. On click event of Button I have javascript code:
xfa.resolveNode("TextField").presence = "hidden";
But it doesn't work because adobe form is static and not dynamic.
I use SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio 7.0.08 and Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.1. In Form Properties in LiveCycle Designer I have:
XDP Preview Format: Dynamic PDF
Override Default Rendering: checked
PDF Render Format: Dynamic PDF
If I save generated PDF and open it in Adobe Designer, I see, this is a static PDF. If I save it as Dynamic PDF, javascript works.
How can I render my adobe form as Dynamic PDF?
Thank you for your help!

Finding adobe form name dynamically

Hi Guys,
I am working on Adobe forms.
I am using the same interface to multiple forms.
I want to find the currently executing form name dynamically in the form interface.
Based on the form i need to display the different data for some fields.
Regards,
Ramesh

Hi Larissa,
You can use the below code to resolve the naming issue:
Download_File is node mapped to the download link for PDF.
                         //Get the Attribute Info of Attribute for PDF
                          IWDAttributeInfo attrinfo = wdContext.nodeDownload_File().getNodeInfo().getAttribute(IPrivateViewName.IDownload_FileElement.DATA);
                          ISimpleTypeModifiable simpletype = attrinfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
                         //Get modifiable Binary Type
                         IWDModifiableBinaryType binarytype = (IWDModifiableBinaryType)simpletype;
                         //Set the File Name
                         binarytype.setFileName("FileName");
                         //Set the Mime Type to PDF
                         binarytype.setMimeType(WDWebResourceType.PDF);
Hope this resolves the issue...

Thanks Dvorah, but I don't get it...what do you mean to get the form values with AJAX? The form is in the client side, with AJAX I should issue a Xml request to the server... but the values are in the form... I don't understand your answer... if you could please explain a little bit more I'd really appreciate it. Thanks again.

Read adobe form element

Hello all,
I have an application which must send and receive mail with PDF attachment. The send part is already working. The PDF is created with adobe interactive forms.
The receive of the PDF is partly working. I can get the mail and the PDF source and display the PDF file. But I need the fields on that PDF file to populate 2 badis. I don't know how I can do that.
I use WAS 6.40 SP 18 and developer studio SP 18.
Thanks in advance,
Patrick Willems

Hi Patrick,
It can be done by directly using the PDFObject API, e.g.
private byte[] getData(byte[] pdf) throws IOException {
 IPDFObject pdfObject = (IPDFObject) WDPDFObjectFactory.getPDFObject();
 pdfObject.setPDF(copy(pdf));
 pdfObject.setTraceLevel(0); // 0 - 4
 InputStream in = pdfObject.getData();
 return in == null ? null : IOUtils.toByteArray(in);
private ByteArrayOutputStream copy(byte[] in) throws IOException {
 ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream(in.length);
 out.write(in);
 return out;
This gives you the data.xml that you can parse using a SAX parser.
On the other hand, you say you can display the pdf. I suppose you use an InteractiveForm UI element? Then the fields in the pdf's template are bound to the Web Dynpro context. Isn't the context being populated when you set the value of the pdfSource attribute? Maybe invalidate the dataSource node before setting the value of pdfSource? I don't use this particular scenario and I'm not sure it works.
Kind regards,
Sigiswald

Servlet to add form elements dynamically

I have a program that populates text boxes from a database resultset (Oracle 8i) using a vector that I pass to a jsp form. The problem is I want to make it dynamic where the number of textboxes could grow or shrink depending on the size of the vector I pass to the request object.
Any ideas as to how this could be done?

Try using a for loop...
int vectorSize = <get the vector size>;
for(int i = 0; i < vectorSize; i++){
out.print("<input type = "textbox">);
}

ADOBE Forms (Creating Dynamic Forms)

I am currently creating a form using Adobe Professional 8. IT is three pages each created on separate form files (.pdfx). I combine the files into a PDF package.
I want to link up the pages together so that when the user types in a value on the first page that it also appears on another box on the second and third page.
I also want it to be filled using Adobe Acrobat Reader and saved, then submitted.
If you want me to send you the forms so you know what im talking about please let me know.
Let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
Thanks for all your help in advance!
Chris P.

Ensure the fields which are required to be filled on multiple pages have
the same field name, use the distribute form option and you're done.

Adobe Forms and Dynamic Images

Hi all,
I have a table in my Interactive Form and I need to add a dynamic image for each row of this table according with the URL field of my node, so i've done the steps of the tutorial "Dynamic Non-Interactive PDF Form", adding a image field, setting none for default binding, setting the url field as $record.Images[*].URL and then, adding the following FormCalc expression to initialize the image: this.value.image.href = xfa.resolveNode(this.value.image.href).value;
Well, my node Images return 3 records and when I run the app, the following message returns:
Script failed (language is formcalc; context is xfa[0].form[0].dataSource[0].Images[0].subImageTable[0].subImageRow[0].imageField[0])
script=this.value.image.href = xfa.resolveNode(this.value.image.href).value;
Error: SOM Expression returned list when single result was expected
Script failed (language is formcalc; context is xfa[0].form[0].dataSource[0].Images[0].subImageTable[0].subImageRow[1].imageField[0])
script=this.value.image.href = xfa.resolveNode(this.value.image.href).value;
Error: SOM Expression returned list when single result was expected
Script failed (language is formcalc; context is xfa[0].form[0].dataSource[0].Images[0].subImageTable[0].subImageRow[2].imageField[0])
script=this.value.image.href = xfa.resolveNode(this.value.image.href).value;
Error: SOM Expression returned list when single result was expected
So, anyone here knows how to add a dynamic image to a table row?
Thanks in advance
[]'s

I solved it now, just changing the FormCalc expression.
Instead of using the expression:
this.value.image.href = xfa.resolveNode(this.value.image.href).value;
I used this:
this.value.image.href = xfa.record.Images.URL;
The URL value of Image Field, in this case is:
$record.Images[*].URL
And, to finish, I needed to add a Text Field bounded to $record.Imagens[*].URL, case else the image doesn't appear.
That's it!

How to handle Adobe Form - Dynamic Tables.

Experts:
I am new to Web DynPro for ABAP and Adobe Interactive forms.
I have created a Adobe form with dynamic table. When I submit the form, WD4A is able to read only the first row of the table. Other rows are getting lost.
I thought just binding with the context will trasfer data from Adobe to WD4A. But it is not happending.
Do I need to write any code in WD4A and any script in Adobe Designer?
Can any one send me a sample code (ABAP and JavaScript). Even link to that will be very useful.
Thanks,
Vijai

Thomas:
My context is as follows.
<CHANGING>
<REQUISITION_ITEMS>
 <ELEMENT..1>
 <ELEMENT..2>
 <ELEMENT..3>
The cardinality of <CHANGING> node is 1..1 and the cardinality of <Requisition_items> is 1..n.

Dynamically rendering form elements

I am very new to Adobe LiveCycle Designer and Adobe Form Server.
Is is possible to create form elements dynamically? For example. User
A's has 2 choices , so when the form is rendered for User A, he/she sees
2 checkboxes, whereas User B' has 3 choices, so the form should display
3 choices.
what is the approach generally followed? Any suggestions will be
appreciated.
I am using Adobe Designer version 7.0 for Windows XP and Adobe Form Server 7.0.1 for Sun platform
Thanks

Hi John, Thanks for the prompt reply. I am trying something similar. It works partially. I have 3 checkboxes, planA, planB and planC. The checkbox becomes visible/invisible based presence/abscene of xml tag respectively (see test.xml below); BUT the checkbox does not show up as checked (even though the value in test.xml is 1 for planC). I tried the following FormCalc (run at Client) in the initialize event of planC checkbox if (Exists($data.distributionForm.participant.plan.planC)) then planC.presence = "visible"; planC.rawValue = $data.distributionForm.participant.plan.planC; else planC.presence = "invisible"; endif Here's my test.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <distributionForm> <participant> <plan> <planA>1</planA> <planB>1</planB> <planC>1</planC> </plan> </participant> </distributionForm> What am I doing wrong? Thanks
