Problem in opening layout editor in adobe forms

Hi,
There is a problem in opening the layout editor in adobe forms(T.code SFP).
Eventhough I  have installed Adobe livecycle designer 8.0 and adobe acrobat reader 9.0.
It is showing the error as " The forms design tool for developing the form layout could not be started; either it is not installed or there are errors in the installation".
Suggest Me.
Moderator message: please have a look in the dedicated forum for Adobe forms.

  • Error in layout section of adobe forms

    Hi All,
    I am getting the following error while i try to open the layout section in adobe forms.
    "Error while opening document".
    I reinstalled the adobe livecycle designer and also installed the new version of adobe i.e. adobe 9/9.1 and restarted my system but still the problem exists.
    Can anybody help me out solve the problem at the earliest.
    Thank you in advance.
    Regards,
    Soumya

    Hi Somya,
    My problem gets resolved. What I done is simply restart the computer!! The Form Template task was hanged (even in task manager it was showing running). Once it gets killed, my layout editor is running again.
    If still your problem persist, you set the priority of u2018FormDE~1.exeu2019 to highest. Close all other applications on your PC while trying to start Layout editor.
    What I understood is, layout editor required lot of memory and hence we can try this above options!!
    Hope this will help you.

  • Problem using RFC to call an adobe form to create pdf file........

    Hi,
       I have an RFC that calls an adobe form to display the pdf output back in a bsp page...the RFC fails at the call to the adobe form (next call after after getting the form name) ...while debugging it looks like within this call it is trying to call fpcomp_job_open and failing on the call check_job_open ...
    The code in my RFC looks like this....

    what is the solution for this problem? I have the same problem. I get sy-subrc = 1 after CALL FUNCTION 'FPCOMP_JOB_OPEN'.
    If I look more in detail I see that "Perform check_job_open" is creating the problem:
    FORM check_job_open.
      IF fpstat-is_opened = c_true.  (--> exactly here is the problem. This condition is true so the program is terminated.)
        PERFORM reset_status.
        MESSAGE ID 'FPRUNX' TYPE 'E' NUMBER '101' RAISING usage_error.
      ENDIF.
      fpstat-is_opened  = c_true.
      fpstat-is_started = c_false.
    ENDFORM.       
    Does somebody know why my job is open and what is the solution to have the job closed at the beginning of my processing?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Problems with Image Field Table in Adobe Forms

    Hello,
    I have a desgined a Adobe Form(Print Only) in the Adobe Desinger in NWDS.
    The form layout contains a table of images in 2 columns and 3 rows. Every Column has a Image Field and a TextField displaying the Image URL.
    The URL of this image is passed at runtime.
    The problem is that when the form is rendered, All the Columns have the same image which is the URL in the first row first column. However the text field displays the correct URL.
    Is this some known bug in the Adobe Forms, or I am missing some property.
    Regards,
    Shubham

    Hi,
    The solution was to put the following code in the initialize event of the image field.
    this.value.image.href = <Photoimagepath>.rawValue;
    Where <Photoimagepath> is the image path.
    Regards,
    Shubham

  • Translate the harcoded text written inside Script Editor in Adobe forms

    Hi Experts,
    In Adobe form, I have hardcoded a text inside the Script Editor.
    Now i need to maintain translation for it in another language.  Is it possible?
    I have checked option Goto -> Translation. But that text is not available there.
    Kindly give me some suggestions!

    I know what you are trying to do and that is NOT the way to handle it. haha This is EXACTLY why I never put texts to display within my script (Javascript). The better way to do it is this.....have a hidden text element on your form. Then show/hide it using your script. Since it is PART of the actual form, you can then translate it like you do anything else on the form. Works great!
    If you absolutely HAVE to do the text as a pop-up or something "off form", then there are ways to do it very similarly but takes a little more thought/work (ie. have your script read the text element's text and use that in your pop-up...again, since the text element is ON the form, you will get the correct translation.)
    Hope this helps!

  • Problem in Sending Fax output in Adobe form

    Hi All,
    I am creating RFQ / Purchase order with output type : NEU, Medium : 2 (Fax). While creating output for the purchase order in transaction ME9F (adobe form), a popup window appears prompting for Output device.(NAST-DEST). For Fax as output medium NAST-DEST doesnot have any value. For print, it would be Printer name. This problem is not only with custom driver program but also seen when assigning standard program :SAPFM06P and standard adobe form : MEDRUCK_PO and standard routine : ADOBE_ENTRY_NEU.
    There is absolutely no issue with SAP Script and I can see the output in SCOT.
    Please let me know if there is any configuration settings to be arrived for FAX output medium using ADOBE FORM.
    Thanks for all your inputs.
    Thanks
    Guru Shanthi

    Hi Priyanka,
    Thanks for your time.
    In NACE, I had configured Driver program and corresponding ADOBE form.
    Could you please suggest, how do I apply the solution you have provided. Please elaborate.

  • Problems Displaying data from RFC on Adobe Forms

    Hi,
    I have some Problems with creating an Adobe Form and hope, someone can help me or give me some hinds to some tutorials, which can help me.
    I'm developing an webdynpro-application which get data from a R/3 via RFC-Call.
    Context-Binding and so on is done and works. I created also an interactive form and can display some datas on it.
    Here my questions:
    I have an field 'unit' which shoulb be displayed on several positions onto the form. My problem is, i can display it only once. If i copy the field, there is no output in it. What can i do, to solve the problem?
    From the RFC i get a table with several rows of data, i want to display on the form.
    With drag&drop i can place the fields onto the form but they are displayed only once. I want one line for every row from the table.
    What do i have to do? Are there tutorials which show the steps?
    When I am not using a form, i can display the data from RFC in a table with no problems (i create a table ui and choose create binding from context menue). Are the nescessary steps for displaying the data on an interactive form the same.
    I read something about creating a dynamic form design. Do i have to create it? What are the steps i have to do.
    Many questions, but i hope that someone can give me some helpful hints.
    Many thanks
    Mathias Lange

    Hi Mathias,
    If I caught you correctly, you want to display data in Adobe forms in form of tabel, right?
    So, follow the steps:
    1. Insert one sub form on your adobe form.
    2. Set its type as "flow content" in object->subform property.
    3. Set flow direction as "Table".
    4. Insert another subform inside this subform.
    5. set its type as "flow content" and flow direction as "Table row".
    6. Now, choose binding tab, and there check "repeat subform for each Data item check box" and specify min. count for your rows.
    7. Now, insert your column fields inside this sub form once.
    8. Format its look and feel as you want.
    When you run this application, it will show you multiple data as table on Adobe form.

    Bhavik

  • Problem with new page triggering in ADOBE Forms

    Hi all,
                 I am workin on a Purchase Order adobe form. I have a requirement to dispay Other stipulation text after completion of all the information. The text should be displayed on a fresh new page. I can able to display the text on new page, but if the text is not there then its displaying a blank page. How to avoid this blank page.
    Can anybody please help to solve this issue
                          Thanks.
                          Ranganadh.

    It is because you are calling a NEW-PAGE in the main window and you have not mentioned which should be the next page. For that you need to Go to SE71==> Pages==>Standard Attributes==> Mention the <b>Next page</b>
    Assign the same for both the pages !

  • Problem with opening my files in Adobe Muse - error stating it isn't latest version but Adobe CC says it is...

    Hi, I downloaded a 30-day trial of Adobe Muse. All was working well. I published the site but it seemed to merge my site with another in Business Catalyst, so I deleted the site in BC. Then when I tried to publish again form Muse, I get 'An unknown authentication error has occurred using your AdobeID'.
    I searched online and was advised to uninstall Muse and reinstall. All done fine but when I try to open my muse site file, I get an error stating 'This Adobe Muse file requires a newer version of Adobe Muse. Please update to the latest version'.
    Meanwhile my Creative Cloud profile states its the latest version.
    Please help. I had considered just signing up and subscribing thinking this may solve problem but am a little wary to do so in case issues are not resolved even then and then I am paying fro an app I cannot use! Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

    Amen, same thing for me this is a big bug and leaves all the Muse users scatching their heads. Adobe is pretty arrogant about Muse users, they are targeted for abuse.

  • Problem with using javascript in interactive adobe form

    Hi All,
        I have a problem when accessing text field value which is present inside a subform using javascript.
    I tried giving data.page4.sub-5.<fieldname>.rawvalue but its not working. Please provide a solution.
    Thank you in Advance.

    Since this question is related to JavaScript running within the Form and not the connection between the form and Web Dynpro - it really belongs in the Interactive Forms by Adobe Forum.

  • How to nest  two or more tables in layout of an  adobe form?

    hi gurus,
    i have the requirement to loop one line item table inside that item conditions table and
    item shedule table...
    ie say the item no ,description,quantity,uom,price will be printed for each line item and then   
    all the item conditions will be printed for that item and then the delivery schedule table then again all the three tables for the next line item and so on...
    So i have to loop the item condition table and the schedule line table inside the  main item table...
    in the context part i have done this thing..how to implement this thing in the layout part..
    Plis help...

    HI Poojith M V ,
    can you help me?
    i have 2 tables for a packing list.
    they are nested in the context and the inner table with the positions has an where clause.
    in the layout, i have defined a table with two headerlines one dataline and one datasection.
    in the dataline i want to display some fields out of the outer table.
    in the datasection, i defined a table with two datalines, in which i want to display fields of the inner table.
    i did the bindings in every table, line and field as learned in BC480.
    now i have the following problem.
    if i set the trace level to 4 and watch the .XDP file, everything is right.
    it looks like this:
    PAL 1
          --POS 20
               ---TEXT
    PACK 2
          --POS 10
               --TEXT
          --POS 50
               ---TEXT
    PACK 3
          --POS 30
               ---TEXT
          --POS 40
               ---TEXT
    but the form output looks like this:
    PAL 1
          --POS 20
               ---TEXT
          --POS 10
               ---TEXT
          --POS 30
               ---TEXT
    PACK 2
    PACK 3
    1. I don´t understand why all entries of the inner table where displayed under the first item of the outer table  -  i set to the first tabel and to the second, loop at all entries.
    2. i don´t understand where the items 50 and 40 are.
    has anybody a suggestion?
    thanks in advance
