Access request form fields changing if request is self or other

Hi SAP experts,
When open a new Access Request all the fields from the EUP work as expected with designated mandatory fields and visible fields (attachment "AC other") but for some reason when I change the "Request For:" dropdown to some other value (in this example "Self") all the fields become visible and Mandatory disappears (attachment "AC Self") what can I do to correct this behavior?
Note: If I assign the default value as "Self" and then change the field to "Other" I get the same results (all visible fields) so is something that happens when changing "Request For:" dropdown.

Hi Jonathan,
Can you check webdynpro component : GRAC_UIBB_ACCESS_REQUEST once because i think there might be code written to hide fields in onselect( ) action of request type.
PFB the snapshot for reference.
If not, pls check WDDOINIT( ) method of view V_SELECT_USER as shown below
PS : Compare your code with the attached file code.
If still the issue exists, Pls refer to this note : 1670922.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks

Filling of form fields changing depending on how PDF is opened, why?

First of all, here is the error message that I am trying to deal with:
"This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
Software & PDF details:
Adobe Reader 8. V8.1.1
PDF Producer: Toolkit http://activepdf.com
PDF Version: 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)
The PDF is set to with:
Filling of form fields: Allowed
After investigation I have found that:
If I open the file by double clicking, I am able to fill in the fields and save without any problems.
If the file is opened as a result of a software process trigger (which is what I actually want to achieve), the "Filling of form fields" is changed to "Not Allowed". This then results in the error message described above.
Also, I have another PDF with exactly the same settings as above (PDF version and Producer etc), which successfully generates as a result of the software process trigger. This file that works does not change the "Filling of Form Fields" value.
So, my question is, why would a particular PDF change the "filling of form fields" value depending on how it is opened?

Ok, that is a useful result, telling us a lot.
Some background you need. Reader 8 CANNOT SAVE FILLED IN FILES normally. To be able to save them they must be specially prepared. This is called "Reader enabling". (In your original message, "rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader") To prepare a file Acrobat can be used, or a server product which has had many names but is currently LiveCycle Reader Extensions. If this is not done, the form cannot be saved, whatever its origin.
Now, a file may not be changed/damaged in even the slightest way after this preparation. This will produce the message seen.
So, your test seems to show
- the original file is OK, undamaged
- by the time the file is delivered from the database to the user it has been damaged/changed.
So, you now have a path to pursue through the software.
(To clarify: this only applies if you used Windows Explorer to save the file, NOT any save function in Reader; if you saved in Reader please repeat the test with Windows Explorer).

Accessing another form fields

I have 2 forms form 1 and Form 2; how can i access form 2 fields from form 1? I read the Acrobat Javascript reference and I saw this code snippet:
var otherDoc = app.openDoc("myDoc.pdf", this);
otherDoc.getField("name").value="Enter your name here: "
otherDoc.getField("name").setFocus();
this.closeDoc();
I reconstruct it to match my form values. It opens the other form but it doesnt do anything else.
Is there a way to do this?

Does anyone know how to do this? Really need the help..
Thanks in advance.

Form fields change too often

Hi,
I am creating a jsp page in which an user can query the database.
The query fields and the resultant rows(o/p from the query) change too frequently.
Can anyone suggest how to develop a web page in this case.
Thanks in advance
Bass

Hello you can use the methods
ResultSet.get(Data Type).( (index number) ) and you won't have to worry about the names of those fields,
hope this helps,

Best way using ADDT? : No page refresh, but form fields change on selection.

The top half of the form is a simple user registration. The bottom half is dependent on the user selecting an item from a dropdown menu which then changes the form accordingly.
What is the best way to do this?

-----
How about an alternate solution, where each form is on an a spry widget accordion plane?
When tyring to do that with ADDT or Dreamweaver forms, you would have to define multiple insert or update transactions as well -- that´s per se not possible, also because an insert/update transaction always comes with an "redirect after insert/update" trigger, means the user will be leaving that page.
But is there a way to still have the simple registration form at the top of the page?
see my "redirect after insert" comment above.
Would each widget form have its own submit button?
You might want to consider creating separate (non ADDT) forms for each SPRY accordion which submit their stuff to the database behind the scenes and without leaving the page. To my knowledge the SPRY documentation shows how this can be done -- but as this isn´t related to ADDT, I´m not going to comment on that :-)
Then on submit it inserts the simple registration form along with its own form?
the main form
(regardless if it´s driven by ADDT´s or Dreamweaver´s insert/update behaviours) will be redirecting to another page

Options for read/write form field data with VBA/Reader

I have a project which requires reading and writing field data to a PDF form using VBA in PowerPoint. The code I have works properly with the full version of Acrobat, but the client this project is for will be using Reader. I'm looking for suggestions to what options I have to be able to access the form field data (I don't need any other features other than access to the field data). Ideally, I would love a solution which doesn't require the client to install anything extra for this to work, but I'm assuming that this isn't possible without an extra install.
Is there a library that exists in Reader (or could be licensed to be installed on the client's machine) that would allow the data to be read without needing the full version of Acrobat?
Does a plug-in exist for Reader, or could be written, that would allow this? Writing a plug-in would certainly be beyond my current capabilities, but I am interested in knowing every and any choices that are available.
Are there any other options to do what I need to do?
I had originally thought about exporting the form data and parsing it in the VBA program, but this would take a bit more work to write the parsing routine instead of accessing the fields directly. Plus, it appears to me that Exporting is not enabled in Reader.
Thanks for any insight you may be able to provide.

Thanks for the response; this was my original suggestion, but I don't think this is feasable for our client. I suggested to our account people that this might be the only way to do this (and the easiest, although possibly the costliest since it would have to be purchased for their entire sales force) and they initially said that this would not be an option, so I wanted to be able to cover all the bases, and explore any other ways that they could do what they want. Is this the absolute only option to do this?
Someone also suggested to me that licensing the Acrobat PDF Library SDK might be a way to do this, or that it could possibly be done with a plug-in for Reader (although from what I have found, Reader plug-ins would have to be approved by Adobe). These options, if possible, are beyond my current knowledge but I do want to be able to give them a complete list of possibilities.
Thanks again.

Automatically displaying the error text for a form field when the validator fails?

Hi,
Flex 2 has a very nice feature to display custom text next to
a form field whose validation failed. But the user has to move the
mouse over the form field to display the text. Is there a way to
invoke this feature programmatically?
What I would like to do is validate form fields on submit and
- if validation fails for a form field - set focus on that form
field and automatically display the custom error text in the red
blurb. Focusing works fine but I cant' get the text to render...
Markus

Thanks Bregent.
Weirdest thing...I just tried a Google search for a solution to this problem and came across another thread on this forum. By the time I got to the bottom of it I realised one of those taking part was myself from years ago! Jeesh, been here before or what!
Changed my recordset to...
<%
Dim rsPROP__MMColParam
rsPROP__MMColParam = "0"
If (Request.Form("categoryID") <> "") Then
rsPROP__MMColParam = Request.Form("categoryID")
End If
%>
<%
Dim rsPROP__MMColParam1
rsPROP__MMColParam1 = "1"
If (Request.Form("categoryID") <> "") Then
rsPROP__MMColParam1 = Request.Form("categoryID")
End If
%>
<%
Dim rsPROP
Dim rsPROP_cmd
Dim rsPROP_numRows
Set rsPROP_cmd = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")
rsPROP_cmd.ActiveConnection = MM_cs_STRING
rsPROP_cmd.CommandText = "SELECT prodid, product, categoryID FROM dbo.products WHERE ISNULL(?,0) = 0 OR categoryID = ?"
rsPROP_cmd.Prepared = true
rsPROP_cmd.Parameters.Append rsPROP_cmd.CreateParameter("param1", 5, 1, -1, rsPROP__MMColParam) ' adDouble
rsPROP_cmd.Parameters.Append rsPROP_cmd.CreateParameter("param2", 5, 1, -1, rsPROP__MMColParam) ' adDouble
Set rsPROP = rsPROP_cmd.Execute
rsPROP_numRows = 0
%>
...and it works fine.
Appreciate the help. I would have taken your advice and done an If Else on the WHERE clause to acheive the same.
Thank you.

Adding form fields breaks tag structure

I have been teaching workshops at my university on creating accessible PDF forms from MS Word. I am very familiar with PDF accessibility. For the most part, the process of field recognition, marking up tables, writing tooltips, manipulating the tag tree, etc., all goes smoothly. I have noticed something that is creating a lot more work for our people, however.
After adding forms to the tagged PDF using recognition and the Tools > Forms > Add New Field tool, we adjust the field tab order and add tooltips. Once all of that is in place and we are ready to fine tune, we click the Tools > Accessibility > Add Form Fields to Tags button. Adding Form Fields to Tags does not work consistently if you edit the tag structure manually while in the Forms creation process. You can do some tag remediation prior to entering the Forms tool, but if you edit the tag structure while in Forms, the Adding Form Fields to Tags often does nothing -- this is certainly a bug in Acrobat X but it is not hard to work around.
The larger problem is that after we click Add Form Fields to Tags button, the tag structure reveals itself to be very much distorted and extreme amounts of tag structure remediation is required. Here are three screen shots that illustrate the point.
This first image shows the on-screen appearance.
Below is the expanded tags tree, prior to adding fields to the tag structure:
The tag structure is clean and elegant. If I were to publish this, no remediation would be necessary.
And here is the tag structure after adding form fields:
What has happened is Acrobat has grabbed recognized form fields and other elements in the document and has jammed them into the tag structure. Other things are affected as well. For example, headings in the page have extra, redundant textruns in them.
This has radically negatively affected the tag structure, requiring the author to do lots of remediation.
Any recommendations? solutions? similar experiences?
It seems obvious to me that this is a flaw in Acrobat that needs to be addressed, if accessibility is a goal. Or perhaps I'm doing something wrong??

Hi Daver1111,
Nope. No answer and nothing from Adobe.
I know something is going really really wrong, too: We have a product called CommonLook. It's an enterprise-level PDF accessibility remediation tool. It works well in fixing most structural problems in PDF through a relatively easy to use interface--you just drag textruns and elements around. It also has some tools that automate cleanup for accessibility.
I have no problem using this tool 99% of the time, but when I use it on forms I have made in Acrobat, the CommonLook plugin hangs when I try to save the PDF. It identifies a "structural error" in the PDF and crashes, leaving the PDF unchanged.
You can change the PDF in Acrobat by spending time moving around and creating new elements and deleting extra textruns and such, but, wow, what a royal pain in the *** that is!
Since no one is from Adobe is responding, I'm going to file a bug report.
Cheers,
ken

Adding Form Fields to Structure

I am working with Adobe Acrobat Pro v9 with a PowerPoint document that I converted to a PDF. I'm working on making it accessible. It is a simple course certificate with one form field, a text box that the user simply types their name in. When I run Accessibility: Full Check I get one error message relating to adding form fields to structure.
It says I need to choose Adanced Accessibility: Add Form Fields to PDF Tags. When I do that and run the Full Check again, I continue to get the same message.
Am I missing a step? Or is there anything else I need to do?
Thanks!

Just some nattering here, but -
After any edits/changes save the PDF before running Full Checker again.
Open the Tags panel, expand the structure tree, from the Options menu turn on Highlight Content.
Walk down the tree. Look for <Form>.
From the Options menu (for the Tags panel) use "Find".
Look for Unmarked Annotations.
Note that "Run Form Field Recognition" will add <Form> to the structure tree.
However, the OBJR beneath it is "generic" and not "your" form field.
For this situation you'd have to add yours (use Find - the dialog has a button to permit tagging an item).
Once the form field annotation is "in" the structure tree you'll want to ensure it is positioned appropriately; in context of the page's logical hierarchy.

How to store forms fields into the session ?

Hi All,
I have to store forms fields into the session.
I have four forms (htm forms) in four jsps and there are total 25 fields.
I am inserting all the fields into the database at once while user submit the last form.
I want to use session to store forms fields.
So please anybody tell me how to do that.
Is the following code correct to store the forms fields into
the sesstion........
// creating a session
HttpSession session=request.getSession(true);
// retrieving form fields
String name=request.getParameter("customer_name");
String business=request.getParameter("business");
String address=request.getParameter("address");
and so on....
// store form fields into the session
session.setAttribute("name",name);
session.setAttribute("business",business);
session.setAttribute("address",address);
and so on....
and later on get the value as:
session.getAttribute("name");
session.getAttribute("business");
session.getAttribute("address");
and so on....
OR
is there another way to store form fields into the session.
Please guide and reply with coding.....
Please answer and help.
Thanks
Amitindia

I don't mean to be an *** but I have no desire to help someone so unwilling to think >>and do. Go through some of these tutorial, do the examples in each and you will be far >>better equipped to ask questions:
http://www.google.co.za/search?hl=en&q=%2Bjsp+%2Bjavabean+%2Btutorial&b >>tnG=Google+Search&meta=
I was just asking that if I use the following
<jsp:useBean id="cart" scope="session" class="session.Carts" />
<jsp:setProperty name="cart" property="address" value="myaddress" />
</jsp:useBean>then will I be able to acheive my aim as I have to store form fields into the session and later retreive while user submit the last form.
Please read my question that I have posted.
Am I using the right way................or which is the best way to store form fields into the session and later retrieve them.
please reply
Thanks

Add form fields to tags - not working

I have a fillable form with one simple text form field. I run the "Advanced > Accessibility > Add form fields to tags" but the tags do not change. After I run the command it is grayed out so it looks like it's done. I can save, close and reopen to make that command available again, but it never affects the tags and the accessibility check continues to give the error.
Anyone have that problem or know how to fix it? I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.3.3
Thanks!

Rather than use TORU for form fields why not use the "Find" feature on the Options menu from the Tags panel?
Find "Unmarked Annotations" then use the Tag Element button on the Find Element dialog.
Select "Form" for the element ("tag").
Add something useful to the "Title" field.
[edit: n.b., this method lets you avoid putting a marquee down that inadvertently encompasses undesired text]
This won't affect use of AT but gives you something to locate as you look over the structure tree.
This method puts the <Form> element at the bottom of the structure tree; so, the elements would have to be manually moved to the proper location in the structure.
Alternatively, place focus on the appropriate parent element for the PDF page content.
The new <Form> element will be placed there - still may have to adjust it location in the structure tree - just closer to that location.
As to working within the structure tree when adding elements.
Yes, best practice that.
TORU - Read Order provides a gross/macro view via the highlight(s) and element desination.
Read Order should, in almost all cases, be harmonized to the structure tree's logical hierarchy.
You may find use of the in-line grouping element <Span> useful.
Be well...

Form fields remain interactive after form is saved

I have built a number of forms by importing static pdf's in to Live Cycle and applying the form fields and scripts there. Now I am finding that if I save the form and then go to Acrobat XI to enable the form so that Adobe Reader users can fill it out, then when they do fill out the form and save it the result still has all of the interactive form fields of the original form.
The objective would be that the user opens the interactive pdf, fills it out, hits a Save As button, and the form will save as a static copy with their information in it and the original interactive pdf will remain and can be closed without saving their personal data.
I do have the option of forcing the user to print instead of save, but the user is then prompted if they want to save changes when they finish printing and go to close the original.
This was not an issue previously, so I would like to know exactly what I am missing in this very basic step.

Hi;
All of the fields in the downloaded "response PDF" are marked "Read Only". You can change this using Acrobat by editing the form and unchecking the "Read Only" box in the form field Properties dialog box.
Thanks,
Josh

After someone responds to a form can the form fields remain active?

I have created a form in Acrobat Pro and uploaded it to Forms Central and distributed it. When I download the response in PDF the form fields are not active. is it possible to keep the fields active and if so, how do you make that happen?

Reader not recognizing form fields

I have created a form with extended rights using Adobe Acrobat X. Everyone using Acrobate Pro X can use the form with no problems; however, a user who has Reader XI is unable to access the form fields. Any idea what may be wrong? The form was emailed to this individual who saved it to their desktop to open and complete.

Is the preferences for Reader set to open all PDFs in the PDF/A mode?

Form field values in query

Hi,
How to access a Form Field value [Inventory Transfer] in a query:
Tried all these combination:
$[http://940.18.1], $[http://$940.18.1], $[OWTR.Filler]
What is the right format to access the field value & Is there a way to check [debug] what the values are ?
Am using: SAP B1 2005B SP:00 PL:34
Regards.

First, Enable System information from the View Menu. This will enable you to see the table name and the field name when you click on the field.
Once you get this info, you can access it by $[[TableName.FieldName]]
Remote the http:// that you see above
$ [ ] are all required.
