Using formats of SO10 text in Adobe forms

Hello guys,
I got a question concerning the interaction of SO10 texts with adobe form text fields.
I know there are some threads about it here, and I think I understand the default SAP behavior, but can you please confirm if I am right? Then I got a special question about one case.
So is it right that there is only the difference between formatting the textfield itself in adobe form layout and adding a style to the text field in form context?
This means:
(1) Whenever in my text field in form context no style is added, the adobe form will take the formatting like it is done in the adobe form layout? This would mean that every format which is entered in the SO10 text is insignificant for the adobe form?
(2) Whenever in my text field a style is added, SAP will use SO10 text formats? This means, SAP searches for the smartforms style which is entered in the textfield and uses the formats from SO10 text like they were defined in the smartforms style?
Is this correct so far?
Now the special questions:
(1) What happens if a style is added, but the style does not exist as smartforms style. Which font etc. will be used then?
(2) What happens if a style is added, but the format of SO10 text does not exist in the smartform style?
In both cases it looks like SAP takes some "default" style, but where does it come from?
Thanks a lot!
Regards
Michael

Formatting Issues with SO10 text in Adobe forms

Hi Everyone,
I Have the below text maintained in SO10.

I have created an text module of type include text in Adobe form context. the text which has to be bold is not being displayed as bold and the line space after first paragraph is being skipped out and the 2nd paragraph is being displayed as the continuation of the first. The out put looks as below

I tried Styles using SE72 on the SO10 text. And I cannot assign smartform styles on SO10 text in Adobe forms.
Greatly appreciate your suggestions and solutions.
Thanks,

Static text in Adobe forms

Hello Experts,
I have requirement to create a adobe form which have 90% of static text .I want to know to display those text should i go with standard text(SO10) ot should i directly display it in text-field on the form layout.Or there is any other way to display.
Which is best? Kindly suggest.
Thank you,
Shweta

Hi Shweta,
I started working on adobe in late 2010. I prefer and would personally go for SO10 instead of adding text in text-field. Adding texts under one TextName would give a clear picture for further enhancements instead of adding the texts one by one in text fields.
We do have a Wiki on SCN about adding static texts to adobe forms using SO10. Here it goes:

Standard Text IN ADOBE Forms

Hi,
Can you tell me how to use standard text in ADOBE forms,
and how to fetch A Customs Tariff Number or an HTS (Harmonized Tariff System)
from other system.

Hi Oliver,
I believe you standard text is a table type of TDLINES.
On the form you would display it with a table of 1 column 1 row with repeat row ticked.
Have the like below code on the fomr ready event of your table.
for(var i =0; i<this.Row1.nodes.length;i++)
 if(i == 1){
 this.Row1.Cell1.font.fill.color.value = "255,0,0";
 this.Row1.xx.font.fill.color.value = "255,0,0";
Note: in my example I had a table with one row names Row1 and 2 fields cell1 type textbox, & xx as text / label.
If its like you have it in a text box with multiple entries, we need to spli the value such that 1st row is displayed in a text box whose parameters are by defeult set to font red, and rest of them to this text area.
If your procedure is table the code sud work, else let me know how you get data and how do you display it on the screen.
Cheers,
Sai

Can I color a line of "standard text" in adobe forms output?

Simple question: Can I color a line of "standard text" in adobe forms output?
My standard text (SO10) has multiple lines.
Can I make one of the lines red?

How to display Formatted text in adobe form

In adobe form, I want to display the text which is inputed by formatted text edit in WD ABAP application.
It is always displayed as plain text like 'this is test text.'. I have set the attribute Data Format to XHTML, Field Format to Rich Text for the Text Field in adobe form. But it doesn't work.
How to display these formatted text?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Jun

Hi Juergen,
I found Your blog and found it really interesting... though I was not able to use it: I (like Jun Li is asking, I guess) need to use a dynamic text, containing formatting informations (according the xhtml syntax).
I tried to pass it to the form by an ABAP-dictionary based interface and by means of the context (in a webdynpro page), but both tries failed.
Some suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou
Simone

Problem with text formatting within a table in Adobe Forms

Hi all,
I have a table on a non-interactive Adobe form (which is a copy of the standard expense form PTRV_EXPENSE_FORM. The table in ABAP has a text field with CHAR50. On the form, the text field has a width which allows approximately 35 characters. Therefore the text wraps onto a second line. My problem is that the text is not formatted and words are just split randomly.
For example:
The fox ran across the fields and into the woods.
would be output as:
The fox ran across the fields and i
nto the woods.
How can the text be formatted to only output complete words?
I have tried defining the textfield as text only and rich text, but nothing changes the output.
Interestingly, even if I change the font size from say 10 to 8, the text is output the same, even though there is enough space for at least one more word on the first line.
Has anyone else come across this problem?
Thanks,
Patricia

Hi Syed
The table is IT_RECEIPTS_ADD_INFO, field VALUE_CHAR. In the form it is called Receipts_addl_info.
I have just found out that the data is being re-formatted in the interface. That caused the problem. Many, many thanks for your help.
Best regards
Patricia

Import formatted text into Adobe Forms

Hello together,
I want to import formatted text in my Adobe form.
I declare the text fields as "Rich Text" fields and the data format as "XHTML".
Now, whatever I tried to format my texts outside the form and display it correct within my form, I failed.
Example:
I want to see: This is my name
I tried several things like "This is my name", ... but I was not able to bring the text fat to my form.
Thanks for help,
Alex!

Export rich text from Adobe Form to MS Word or MS Excel

Hi,
I have created a form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro. It consists of some text fields, where formatting of the text is important. I have chosen allow rich text formatting in the textfield and that works fine. Export to Excel via .csv works fine, but formatting is of course lost.
I will receive many forms back, and would like to automate as much of the process as possible. My question is if there is any way to do a batch export of a certain text field including the formatting to either MS word or Excel?
An alternative might be to export only the specific text field from all collected forms to a one PDF File and copy paste this into word.
If I can get this to work, everything should work as planned.
Sorry if this has been asked before. Have done numerous searches, so far without result.
Best regards,
mlang1111

Probably, the font used isn't installed in your system, and the creator of the PDF file didn't embed it properly.

Repitition of text in Adobe form.

Hi,
I am using a text field in adobe form.The content of the text field is getting extended to the second page.But in the second page the content instead of following from the first page, starts repeating from the beginning of the first page.
For example: If the content is of 10 lines and if 5 lines come in the first page, in the second page instead of the next 5 lines... the first 5 lines are repeated.
The form is basically an interactive one . The form is called from CRM Web IC which we have linked with a webservice.But I think that configuration has nothing to do with this problem. It has basically something to do with the properties of text field.
I have checked 'Allow multiple lines' and 'Following Previous' and 'Continue filling parent' in the pagination tab.
I am not using Web Dynpro.The driver program is in abap which calls the form and dispaly it in PDF format.

Hi Sharadendu,
First of all you need to put this question in Adobe Form related Forums.
Problems can be many in this case.
1: Overflow subform not selected.
2: Some condition failing in the text or subform.
3: Incorrect nesting of subforms.
Mainly your problem will be with the subforms , so you need to croos check all the subforms which you have used to hold data.

Text in ADOBE form not printing while printing the form

Hi All,
I have created an adobe form and am trying to trigger an output linked to the form. The problem is that the output that gets triggered does not show some of the texts which are existing in the form.
So although the values are coming correctly the overall output becomes incorrect as the text goes missing. Let me know if you have any pointers to the issue I am facing.

Sharadendu
