Accessing Form context fields in javascript in Adobe forms

Hi,
I want to hide some elements in the Adobe form with respect to the value of a Form context field.
If this field is mapped to an element in the Form layout then we can access it using data.<field>.rawValue, but this field is not mapped to any element on the layout.
Please help me if anyone knows it.
Regards,
Jashua

The coding you are showing is FormCalc used by LiveCycle Designer.
This is the forum for Acrobat Acrobat forms, there is a separate series of forums for LiveCycle Designer. If you are using LiveCycle Designer please post in the appropriate LiveCycle forum.

Accessing Context Data with JavaScript in Adobe Form

Hi,
does anybody know, how to access a context element with javascript in an adobe form, because I have to decide which elements will be shown at the form, depending on one context value.
Thank you for your help!
Kind regards, Patrick.

Hi,
First of all your WD context is mapped to the data view in the form. You can only access via scripting what is mapped to the data view and you get the values that the PDF currently has stored. The WD context and the data values in the context might differ (eg. due to editing).
Use scripting like xfa.resolveNode("xfa.dataset.data.<path.to.the.node>") to get a reference to the data node.
Then you can use the "value" property to access the data value.

Javascript in Adobe forms

Hi All,
How do we write Javascript in adobe forms to display a text at the end of the master page. this master page count varies based on the number of records in the table. So suppose at the last page I want to display a text. How do we achieve that??
Thanks,
Komal

Master Page will be displayed on every normal page .
So the alternate solution is make your pages as flow layout. Arrange the things properly.
After the table or at the end of all the elements you can make a text field for the number of records.
So as soon as the table is filled the elements are scrolled down and automatically at the end of the page the text field with number of records will be shown.
Thanks,

Hello. I have adobe forms and received the alert that it will be ending in July. Then I received an email about Adobe Acrobat XI Pro which can create forms. I signed up for the free trial and when I began to make a new form it brings me back to Adobe Form

Hello. I have adobe forms and received the alert that it will be ending in July. Then I received an email about Adobe Acrobat XI Pro which can create forms. I signed up for the free trial and when I began to make a new form it brings me back to Adobe Forms. My question is, when Adobe Forms ends on July 28th will Adobe Acrobat XI Pro be able to create forms or will it now? and if not, then why is adobe advertising for it still?

What you're calling "Adobe Forms" is really Adobe FormsCentral. The FormsCentral service is indeed going away soon, but you can always create PDF forms (AcroForms) with Acrobat. Acrobat also comes with a desktop version of the FormsCentral desiger, which can be used to create simple PDF forms that can be used apart from the FormsCentral service. So you'll no longer be able to create and host web forms with the FormsCentral service or use PDF forms with the FormsCentral service. You will be able to create standalone PDF forms with Acrobat and simple PDF forms with the FormsCentral desktop app.

Table fields Validation in online adobe form WDABAP

Hi,
I have a table in Online Adobe form, and one of the field in the table is Check Box, if the check box is selected the next field(with in the same table) should be left blank else it should issue some error like leave blank.
Can some one tell me how to to do this using javascript?
Ravi

Ravi,
For eg:- Lets assume you have a table name Table1 with 2 rows (Row1 and Row2) & 3 columns.
Row 1 has three cells --> Cell1 (which contains check box), Cell2(InputField which needs to be kep blank), Cell3( Assume its a numeric field)
Similarly Row 2 has three cells --> Cell1 (which contains check box), Cell2(InputField which needs to be kep blank), Cell3( Assume its a numeric field)
So the hierarchy will be
Table1
|--- Row1
    |-----CheckBox1
    |-----Cell2
    |-----Cell3
|--- Row2
    |-----CheckBox2
    |-----Cell2
    |-----Cell3
Now write following code in JavaScript in the change event of CheckBox1.
var currVal = Table1.Row1.CheckBox1.rawValue;
//xfa.host.messageBox("Current Val is : "+currVal);
if(currVal == 1) // Means checkbox is selected
     xfa.host.messageBox("Please Leave Next Field blank");
     Table1.Row1.Cell2.access = "readOnly";
else
     Table1.Row1.Cell2.access = "open";
Similarly, you need to write code for CheckBox2 of Row2.

Events with Scrpts and JavaScript in ADOBE forms

Hello All,
On an Adobe form I have field for sub totals. I am trying to choose 'Events with Scripts' on the SHOW pull down values and choose JavaScript in the language. I was able to do this some time ago but now, I am able to choose Events with Scripts but not being able to choose JavaScript for language.
I do not have much exp. with Adobe or JavaScript but I checked whatever I could think of but could not figure out. Any body ran into this issue before? Any ideas?
Please post and Thank you ...

By trial and error, what I did is, chose 'Calculate' in the Show menu then chose JavaScript in the Language pull down menu. Then added my JavaScript code. Then went back and change 'Calculate' in the Show menu to Events with Scripts. Saved and executed it . It worked.

Hiding the some fields in print PDF adobe form

Reeha

Hi Reeha,
In case you need to use any script you may prefer formCalc script, which is very easy to use. You can use any script out of the two as per your understanding and comfort level.
If you require more technical information about FormCalc, refer to the Adobe XML Forms Architecture (XFA) Specification, version 2.4, available from:
[http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/xml/index_arch.html.]
and
[http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/es/FormCalc.pdf]
Hope this helps you

Use of JavaScript in Adobe Forms

Hi guru's...
Are there any restrictions in the use of JavaScript Coding within Livecycle Designer?
Which objects, methods and/or functions can be used and which can't?
Is there a reference guide for this?
And is there a way to use some kind of debugging for testing the JavaScript code within an Adobe Form?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You can learn JavaScript(use it as reference) from this site...
http://www.w3schools.com/
And coming to restrictions...I dont find as such any till now in my usage...
I used to use ALERTS for DEBUGGING purpose...
Here is some sample coding...
var strText = "Raja";
alert("Hello Javacript"+strText);

Vb script to get fields name of SAP adobe forms

hi
is there any way to get and set fields of SAP adobe forms embedded in SAP portal

I think when I tried to process each PC name from text file against registry key value, above code not working. As per my knowledge some issue in loop. Do I need to add FOR EACH feature?
Please help to correct it. Thanks in advance.
Your code contains numerous errors. Furthermore you make things difficult for yourself by giving similar names to the objects used for your input and output. If you are a systems administrator then your best bet is to make an effort to learn the language
instead of grabbing a few code fragments from here and there and hoping that somehow they will work.
Try the cleaned up code below for this particular project. Note the consistent code indentation. It helps you enormously when trying to understand the structure of the code. Remember also that you must fully qualify all file paths. Writing to "Destination.txt"
will cause endless confusion because you never know for sure where this file will reside.
Const HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
sKeyPath = "Environment"
sValueName = "LSFORCEHOST"
sFile = "D:\Test.txt"
If oFSO.FileExists(sFile) Then
Set oInput = oFSO.OpenTextFile(sFile, 1)
Do While Not oInput.AtEndOfStream
sComputer = oInput.ReadLine
If Trim(sComputer) <> "" Then
Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _
& sComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
oReg.GetStringValue HKEY_CURRENT_USER,sKeyPath,sValueName,sValue
Set oOutput = oFSO.OpenTextFile("D:\destination.txt",8, True)
oOutput.WriteLine sValue
oOutput.Close
End If
Loop
oInput.Close
End If

Date field not retent in Adobe form - Review

Hi,
I have a date field(Last day worked) which is not bound to any data view field in SFP transaction. When the form is in a Edit mode, I select a date in Last day worked field. After I click on Click & Send option, the form is in Review mode (with field editable), the Last day worked field goes blank.
How do I save the value that I entered in Edit mode.
Kindly advice.
Thanks,
Gowri

You should bind the field to an attribute.

Hi can we add a field with ''quantity'' in Adobe Forms Central?

I would like people to choose how much tickets they would like to buy for our foundation and have the possibility to pay online with Paypal, since our account is already created.
Thanks

Hi,
To add a quantity field, you need to add a text field first, then select the text field and in the property panel on your right, change field type to Number.
Then, in Options/Payment/Purchase field you will select this field in "Quantity field" and make sure this field is correctly associated with the Purchase field (for example) you can use Choice fields for the purchase field, say, choice1 = t-shirts, choice2= pants ..etc
Please take a look at this link for additional information on how to set up payment fields:

How to have multi select dropdowns for web request and adobe forms

Hi All,
I am working on interactive forms for CRM 7.0 using web request and ZCI layout.
When I say web request we define the fields required for the form in CRM that becomes the context for WDA and passed onto Adobe form.
This web request is a flat structure which mean if I have a node and attributes with in that you cant have multiple values to wards this node as in WDA.
Now My query:
I have a field called "xyz" since web request is a flat structure i just defined it as a string.
In WDA I made it a enumrated field and added key value pairs to it.
In Adobe form I binded this field to a WD native enum dropdown list every thing is fine untill here.
Now in the form I need this as a multiple select, so i changed the dropdown field to list box it works.
The form has to be submitted as a draft version when did so, it will not execute any APIs but saves the data to the web request.
When the same form is opened for the next time, with the data in web request it should reopen this field with the multiple seleced values high lighted.
since the field xyz is a single filed of string, how can i maintain multiple values in that...?
if there is a form status auto save function in Adobe form this might solve a bit but not sure when the form is opened 2nd time from web reqest view does it consider it as a new one or open the same form...?
I have such dropdown fields and problems including ones with depenedt values on one another.
I tried my best to explain the problem, if somebody can help me with this its much appriciated.
Note: Since this is dependent on CRM web request I am posting the same query in that block also apologies if this mean a duplicacy.
Thanks & Regards,
Sai

I got the solution and problem is solved.
Iterating & processing a enumrated dropdown is like any other dropdown /list box in adobe forms.

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.
