Dynamic Interactive Form

Hello friends,
I ve created a dynamic purchase order form(Interactive form) which has a dynamic table which adds or deletes the table rows on click of a button.
This part works fine when i preview the pdf file..rather when i deploy the application,
the dynamic content like adding and deleting rows does not work..Friends, if anyone of u have faced this issue and solved, please get back to me with the solution.
Regards,
Karthikeyan

Hi,
Other than checking if xACF is installed, you can check one more thing:
In your Adobe lifecycle Designer, open your form,
Goto, File --> Form Properties,
Goto the Defaults tab,
Select "Dynamic PDF" for the XDP Preview Format:
Click OK.
This setting will now allow dynamicity in your Form, when you view it in PDF Preview tab.
This will solve your problem.

Adding rows in web dynpro ABAP Dynamic Interactive form.

Hi Experts,
I am having problem in web dynpro ABAP Dynamic Interactive form.
This is my scenario....
I have a dynamic interactive form that has buttons to add and remove rows in a table. It works fine when I preview it , but when I render, view or save it using ADS, it no longer works. The "add" button actually does instantiate more repeating rows, because I put some trace messages in to count them, but the added rows are not displayed. How do I make them visible?
In web dynpro java we write some coding in modify view to set the pdf form as dynamic
IWDInteractiveForm iForm =
(IWDInteractiveForm)view.getElement("<ID>");
iForm.setDynamicPDF(true);
simillarly what we need to write in web dynpro ABAP.
Please give me solution for the same.
Thanks,

Dynamic Interactive Form Properties

Hi,
Im trying to create dynamic interactive form.
What are the Form Properties that I have to set to Preview Dynamic Interactive Form.
I have a radio buttons, when I select one, a related subform must display. Kindly guide me for the procedures to follow to implement.
Regards
Prasad

Hello Prasad,
First of all: Are you creating the forms in the Netweaver Developer studio, or in the SAP-Gui?
Next: I am not really sure what your question is, what you want to achieve. I think you want to to display an interactive form instead of a normal PDF. If this is not the case, could you elaborate please?
If you are in the SAP gui: You can execute the function module which includes the Form. You'll have to give some parameters, and one of them is the structure /1BCDWB/DOCPARAMS. In this structure, you have the field Fillable. If you mark this field (eg. punt an 'X' to it), you'll have the interactive properties of the form enabled.
I don't have a NDS in the neigborhoud atm, you'll have to wait for that part.
Good luck!

Creating a dynamic interactive form

I have been working at trying to get a text field that expands when more text is added to the field. I have been looking at the sample Purchase Order form that came with Designer and when I look at the properties of the subform for the comments field near the bottom of the page I see options that are grayed out when I look at the properties of the subform that I have made. I'm just not getting it and seeing what to do to get thing to work.
For example when I go to look at the Object > Subform properties everything is grayed out except the Type, Presence, and Locale fields. In the Object > Binding properties everything below Name, Default Binding and Import/Export Bindings fields is grayed out.
Without knowing what else to look into I'm stuck.
I have tried working with the tutorial in the Designer help but there is no tutorial for a dynamic interactive form just a dynamic form that apparently doesn't work the same way.

OK. I think I got this figured out why the fields are grayed out.
But how do I get a field to grow when I finaly open the pdf document in Acrobat 7?

How to send Dynamic Interactive Forms through mail?

Hi all,
I'm trying to sent Interactive Forms as attachment through mails.
Everything works fine as long as the Content of this Interactive Form stays static.
When I add dynamic elements and test this in SFP, they work.
However when they get sent by mail, the dynamic content is lost and gets back Static.
Does anyone has ABAP code or any other solutions so that the PDF gets send as an Dynamic Form?
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards,
Maarten

Hi,
I'm working from the Web UI. This is BSP. Here I add 2 Methods (GET_PDF and SEND_MAIL).
The GET_PDF gets all data for the form and then sends the FORMOUTPUT to the SEND_MAIL method.
Here I add the PDF as following:
First I convert it to BINARY and then I add it as attachment.
Do I need to add it as another TYPE or ....
+ CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
    EXPORTING
      BUFFER                = ip_formoutput-PDF "PDF file from function module
    APPEND_TO_TABLE       = ' '
IMPORTING
    OUTPUT_LENGTH         =
    TABLES
      BINARY_TAB            = lt_att_content_hex
lo_document->add_attachment(
    EXPORTING
      i_attachment_type    = 'PDF'
      i_attachment_subject = 'Your appointment Details'
      i_att_content_hex    = lt_att_content_hex ).+
Kind Regards,
Maarten

Enable Commenting on Interactive Form

Hello,
I am a bit of a newbie in javascript programming but I have been using Livecycle to design basic forms. On the basic forms I created, I had no problem allowing the user to attach a file.
Just recently, I created a dynamic interactive form that works great (I started the design on Livecycle 8.0 but just recently upgraded to version 8.2 that came packaged with the Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended). I have opened the finished form on Adobe Acrobat, extended reader rights, however, in Reader, it is not allowing attachment of file (basically---not allowing commenting). [NOTE: I am using reader version 9.1]. I went back to Acrobat to make sure I did the reader rights enabling correctly and copied the complete message below. I don't know why under the Note below it says that security permissions already exist that do not allow commenting. I looked at the properties of the form on Livecyle and under PDF Security, both boxes to restrict document opening with a password AND restrict printing and editing of document with a password are both unchecked. So it does not seem that there are restrictions. I don't know why it's behaving this way. Can someone help me?
Thank you.
MESSAGE from Acrobat when extending Reader Rights:
The following features will become available for this document when opened in
the free Adobe Reader.
- Save form data (for a fillable PDF form only)
- Sign an existing signature field
- Digitally sign the document anywhere on the page (not available for XML
forms; only supported in Adobe Reader 8.0 or later)
Note: Security permissions already existing on this document do not allow
commenting or signing the document other than signing existing signature
fields. Once Reader Enabled, certain functions, such as editing document
content or inserting and deleting pages, will also be restricted.

Well, it's a bit more complex.
Acrobat Pro does allow forms to be reader extended for commenting. In fact, the rights include form fillin and save, creation and modification of form fields (including adding digital signtures), applying a digital signature and adding comments. But there are two other things that can be getting you:
You can't put comments on a dynamic form... only static or pdf artwork
You can attach files to a PDF in one of two ways. The first is an attached file in a comment. The second is as an embedded/attached file (this is the file support that is now called portfolios). There is a Reader Extension right called "additions and changes to embedded files" that is needed for this. It is only available through the server-based Reader Extensions and not in Acrobat.

Download Interactive Form

Hello!
Can an Interactive Form be generated without displaying it?
I want to ge hold of the pdfContent byte[], but don´t want to display the form.
Thank you!
Ilona Seifert

Hi Ilona,
You can try with the following:
import com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.api.IWDPDFDocument;
import com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.api.IWDPDFDocumentCreationContext;
import com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.api.WDPDFDocumentFactory;
import com.sap.tc.webdynpro.basesrvc.util.IOUtil;
InputStream template = ... //your XDP file as an inputstream
String xmlData = ... //business data you want to merge your form template with
ByteArrayInputStream dataSourceInputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlData.getBytes());
ByteArrayOutputStream dataSourceOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ByteArrayOutputStream templateSourceOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
// convert InputStream to OutputStream
IOUtil.write(template, templateSourceOutputStream);
IOUtil.write(dataSourceInputStream,dataSourceOutputStream);
IWDPDFDocumentCreationContext creationContext = WDPDFDocumentFactory.getDocumentHandler().getDocumentCreationContext();
creationContext.setTemplate(templateSourceOutputStream);
creationContext.setData(dataSourceOutputStream);
creationContext.setDynamic(true); //if you want to create dynamic interactive form
IWDPDFDocument pdfDoc = creationContext.execute();
// create the PDF and store it as ByteArrayInputStream
InputStream pdfInputStream = pdfDoc.getPDFAsStream();
Best Regards,
Ferenc
P.S.: If you use some older version and the "com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.api" package is not available for you, then you can do the same with the old "com.sap.tc.webdynpro.pdfobject.api" package

Dynamic/Flowable Form Fields

I am working on a basic form called Performance Evaluation. It consist of 6 different tables. The original form was designed in Word 2003 and convert to PDF using LiveCycle Designer ES. My questions is, my form fields continue to "fall off the page" when the text fields are completed with data. I am also having a hard time combining the tables that have been "placed" on page 2 during the conversation of .doc to pdf. I can not seem to make all of the table work together much less flow together to complete the dynamic, interactive form I would love to have. I want everyone to be able to write as much as they want in the comments section and keep everything together and not create blank pages..
I have attached the form so everyone can take a look. ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated. . I can make text field flowable, and have them flow to a second page for simple forms/applications. It is when I add table that the Hierarchy becomes a problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Jenn

Thanks for the response. Yes, I have started a new form and not locating the flowable text fields into tables, but into their own individual cells.
I have made the subforms flow., and now they are continuing on the second page and not running off the page. However, I do have another question...(every solution sometimes creates another problem) Now that my text field-data is flowing to the second page, the text itself is moving from the right hand column to the left hand column on the next page. This really does not bother me that much, but I have a feeling it will confuse everyone using the interactive pdf. Any suggestions?
Thanks - Jenn

Add Subform dynamically,on click of Button, in Interactive form generated by Adobe Document Services

HI,
I have an XDP file designed by Adobe Designer 7.1 with the following hierarchy of elements:
-form1(root)
--Button
--tmpForm (subform - Repeat subform for each data entry )
---ST (Text)
Now, this XDP file generates an Interactive PDF form with Reader Rights enabled by the Adobe Document Services.
On click of button, the following javascript is executed on client side:
var df = _tmpForm.addInstance(1);
df.ST.rawValue = "HI" ;
xfa.host.messageBox( "Instances" + tmpForm.all.length ) ;
On clicking the button, i get the length of the instances of the subform and the size increases on each click, but no element is added "visibly" to the pdf.
But when i try to do the same by saving the XDP file as Dynamic PDF form for Acrobat 8.0,and open it using Adobe Acrobat PRO 8.0, it works fine.
My question is,I s it not possible to add subforms dynamically in PDF's generated by Adobe Document Services with Reader Rights enabled?
Or, is there something that i am missing?
Please guide.
Thanks.
Regards,
Siddhartha

Hi,
you can't change the behavior of the save button in the browser nor in Reader/Acrobat.
You can add a custom button within your form which calls a custom script from a folder level script using the browserForDoc method.
The browseForDoc methos is the only one whcih can change the name in the saveAs dialog.
Here's an example., you can run from Acrobat console.
You need to combine it with the solution from the other thread to make it work with your form.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2266799#2266799%232266799
var oRetn = app.browseForDoc({
    bSave: true,
    cFilenameInit: "MyForm.pdf",
    cFSInit: "",
if (typeof oRetn !== "undefined") {
    this.saveAs({
        cFS: oRetn.cFS,

Dynamic table in webdynpro interactive form not working. Urgent

Hi guys,
I am facing a problem when trying to retreive data entered in interactive form dynamic table.i can get the data entered in non dynamic fields no problem.
I have a node structure like this
Root
Data 1...1 singleton and non tried both
Table 1...n singleton and non tried both
In my adobe form i tried adding rows using add instance, and also using add button in webdynpro native. In the same method that adds row i simulated the submit button to create row in WD context! It adds rows but any data entered later is lost. One more thing i have noticed is it sometimes works after adding just one row! Data is passed to context but from next row it doesnt work! What am i missing?
I also tried adding a button in webdynpro tray and adding the row directly to the context. new row is created in form but any data entered in new rows is lost!
I am unable to obtain the data entered in Dynamic fields. I thought i would try the xml reading method but the problem is after crating a couple of rows dynamically if i go save pdf locally the new rows are not showing up in the pdf!
I have seen a post which said using the if_wd_iactive handler to set the form as dynamic but that method is not available in our system! Sorry i am not in front of an SAP system so i cant type exact names!
I tried using zci update program/ etc etc but i am still struggling at the moment. Any help would be much appreciated! Pls ask if you need more info.
Regards
Naresh

problem solved! I had to recreate the form. not sure if i corrupted the webdynpro scripts etc by mistake.

Reading Dynamic Table Values in interactive form (web Dynpro ABAP)

Hi All,
I have created a Web Dynpro ABAP application which contains an Interactive Form, That Adobe Interactive Form contains Dynamic table (New rows can be added manually and deleted using a button).
I am not able to read the Dynamic table values in Web Dynpro u201COn Submitu201D.
In the Adobe form I have web Dynpro native button (I am using ZCI), while clicking the native button I need to read the dynamic table values.
How can I resolve this problem.
Thanks and Regards,
Boopathi M

that means, when u add the table instance at runtime, you will also have to add an element to the node that is bound to the table.
probably addNew() mathos may be useful to you.
it appends a new record to the record set.
xfa.sourceSet.dataConnectionName.addNew()
also when on the exit event of the table field, do the following:
var i = xfa.parent.index
$record.rootnodename.tablenodename.data.fieldname = $.rawValue
xfa.host.messageBox($record.rootnodename.tablenodename.data.fieldname)
