Adding Barcode field in Acrobat X

When I try to add a barcode field in Acrobat X I get the following message
A Barcode Field encodes data that end-users type into a fillable PDF form. Use of this type of field for paper forms processing requires Adobe's Barcoded Paper Forms Solution (separate license required).
Where do you go to purchase this liscense? I can't seem to find it on the webpage.

It is required if you want the bar code field to work with Adobe Reader (Win/Mac). If all of your users will have Acrobat, it's not needed. The license can be purchased along with LiveCycle Reader Extensions (http://www.adobe.com/sea/products/server/readerextensions/), which is also available from datalogics.com (I couldn't get to their web site today, but look here: http://www.linkedin.com/company/datalogics/adobe-pdf-java-toolkit-1006340/product?trk=biz_ product)
If you go through Adobe, you'll have to talk to a sales rep about pricing.

How to find and replace data in form fields in acrobat xi, its not allowing to do so while trying, a

how to find and replace data in form fields in acrobat xi, its not allowing to do so while trying, asking for adobe livecycle to get installed. please help.

Easiest way to do it is the following:
- Open the PDF file in Acrobat.
- Go to Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Export Data.
- Save the form data as an XML file somewhere on your system.
- Open XML the file in a plain-text editor (I recommend Notepad++).
- Let's say you want to replace all the years in the dates from "2013" to "2014". Do a global Search&Replace of "2013-" to "2014-" (I added the dash just to make sure that only date fields are edited).
- Save the XML file (maybe under a new name).
- Go back to the PDF file, and now go to Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Import Data.
- Select the edited XML file and import it.
- Done!

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.
Be well...

LiveCycle PDF Forms and Barcode Fields

Ive also posted this subject on the LiveCycle forum but thought I would reach out to my fellow CF'ers. So here's my issue, Im using Coldfusion to populate a LiveCycle form that contains a barcode field. The barcode disappears when the form is flattened. The image of the barcode disappears, but the value of the barcode displays.
Anyone experience this type of issue? As always, all and any advice is appreciated.
Thanks ahead of time.

No version of Reader can save a filled in form unless it has been enabled first.
To enable, open the file in Acrobat then go to Advanced>Enable usage rights in Adobe Reader...
And for my standard disclaimer, if you are going to use the forms in a corporate environment, be sure to study and understand the usage limits for enabled forms (the limit is 500 uses, but there are caveats to that) in the EULA. Mostly the enabled forms are meant for very small time users. If you do not meet that requirement, Adobe sells another product that can enable files for unlimited uses but it costs in the tens of thousands of dollars and is a server side solution.
Hey Graffii,
I enabled the usage rights and that did help with saving in Reader 7. I am a little concerned about the limit of 500 uses. Let me try and understand you a little better. I have a PDF that has a couple form fields and you're saying that the PDF can only be opened 500 times? I've never heard of restrictions on PDFs before. Does this happen after you place just 1 form field? How do I find out more information? I looked in the EULA, but found nothing.
Also, what does Adobe mean here "Enable users of Adobe Reader® (version 8 or later) to fill in and save PDF forms locally." Are they saying that you need Reader 8 or later to read a form or that you need Acrobat Pro 8 or later to enable the form feature?
It's all very confusing because one of the features they tout in version 9 is the ability to save forms locally, but once I enable the form I could save it with Reader 7. It's hard to tell if they are referring to Reader 9 or Acrobat Pro 9.
Thanks

Added new field to cube but data not passed from DSO

Hope someone can help.
(BI 7.0) We added new fields into a cube. The fields already existed in the DSO. When we ran the process chain in development for the first time after making this change, we notice that the 'historical' data for these fields is populated in the cube. When we do this in our quality system only new data passed to the cube is updated. In development in the sub-chain DTP request we see all previous requests listed under selections. In quality it is only the latest request. The only difference is that the DeltaInit flag in the DTP request in development is ticked (extraction mode) - but not in quality. Does anyone know whyb this is?

hi peter,
Adding fields to cube doesn't affect delta status...The delta DTP should be able to handle delta requests automatically.
I guess in you quality system, the cube already got all requests updated from ODS before you importing the change request. And in develop system none of the requests in ODS were updated before the change.

Frank

I've added in a new field inside the ITAB internal table, but it wouldn't appear in the t_cat, only all the old fields will appear. What have i done wrong?

Hi
Facing similar kind of issue.. added one field to the existing internal table. This is not getting populted by the field catalog merge FM. Tried with the suggested solution also of running programs BALVBUFDEL,
BCALV_BUFFER_DEL_SHARED then logging off and logging in..
But the newly added field is not getting populated. Any suggestions would be of great help.

Adding new field to Remote Cube

Hello,
We have an existing remote cube that we are trying to add a new field to in 7.0. I've already added the field to the datasource, unhidden it, and tested it in RSA3. Now i'm trying to bring it into BW and add it to the remote cube. I right clicked on the source system under the data target and chose Replicate Metadata however the new field does not show up anywhere. What am i doing wrong? Does a remote cube work differently? How do i get my new field over from R3?
Regards,
TMS

That's the problem. The R3 field does not show up in the datasource in BW so it can be moved over to the transfer structure. As you know when you replicate metadata, the new datasource fields appear and can be mapped into the transfer structure. That is not the case for this remote cube. The new field is not there.

How to link Interactive fields in acrobat 9Pro

Hi Im new in this and I would like to now how to link interactive fields in acrobat.
lets say that I have 10 files (File1, File2, File3 etc......) and each file have the same COMBO BOX that display 5 options (option 1. option 2, option 3, option 4 and option 5), all 10 files have the same combo box with the same options, but i want to DELETE option 3 from each file.
So, how can I do it, beacuse right now I have to do it manually each file at the time, and in real I dont have 10 files I have 500.
Please I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

I am not so sure yet but in the PLD properties window on general tab of SBO 2005A there is field name link to. its description is :
Creates a link between several fields, to determine if the system collectively displays or hides them. If a field is blank or hidden, its linked fields are not printed either.
To create the link, choose the Unique ID of the field to which you want to link the selected field.
If the field Total Liable in the document is set to zero there is no need to print the Tax, Discount, and Total fields. It is possible to link these fields to the field Total Liable by selecting its unique ID in the field Link to, found in each one of their Properties windows. This will then hide the fields when Total Liable is zero.
If a linked field is not yet calculated, the field is ignored.
Another example:
Steps for Version 2005A:
Link every existing field in the Repetitive Area
to itself (thisinlcudes hidden fields as well!)
add the following fields to the Repetitive Area
Field_1:
General Tab
untick visible
Left = 0 / Width = 0 / Top = 0 / Height = 0
Content/Variable Tab
Variable No.: 157
Field_2:
General Tab
untick visible
Left = 0 / Width = 0 / Top = 0 / Height = 0
Content Tab
Source Type: Formula
Field_1 ==' '
Increasethe Height of the Repetitive Area to allow placing the following field vertically below the exisiting fields of the Repetitive Area - tick Height Adjustment for the Area!
Field_3:
General Tab
Link to: Field_2
Left = / Width = / Top = / Height =
=> place vertically below the top row in the Repetitive Area
Format Tab
Line Break: Divide into Rows
tick Field Height Adjustment
Content Tab
Source Type: Database
Table: AR Invoice - Rows
Column: Text
Maybe it is what your are looking for.

Adding new field to Customer master sales data area sales tab

Hello everyone,
I am new to module pool so seeking some help from experts here.
I have a requirement were in I have to add a new field to the customer master (VB02) sales area data sales tab.
I found that there is no screen exit.Is there any other way of doing it?
could you please provide me with a step by step procedure of doing it.
With Regards,
Karishma.

Hi,
How did you look for screen exit? Have you also tried it in BADI? 'Coz normally, adding custom fields to a standard screen has to be implemented in exits.
I haven't worked with VB* screens yet so I can not give you a some possible exits. But you can do some debugging. I think there's an available code in the net that searches for exits/screen exit (ask Mr.Google). You can also ask him how to search BADI in debugging mode. I remember it's TCode SE24 then look for cl_exithandler class, get_instance method. Then look for exit_name variable.
Hope this helps.

Adding new fields to the data flow

Hi,
I am currently planning to add some new fields in one DSO and map it (with info source) in the update rules.
Will adding new fields to Info source - Comm. structure affect all the update rules connected to it?
The info source is connected to multiple DSO.
(The data source is currently under enhancement for these fields). Once this is done, we have to replicate it to BW.
Thanks,
Naveen

yes.
Once the enhancement is done for data source in r/3 side, you will have to replicate the datasource in BW.
Adding new fields will deactivate the update rules. You have to map the same in update rule and activate the same.
This will require activation of transformations, update rules, etc for related DSOs. Try to find out the where used list for the DSO where you want to add the new objects. Then check each objects whether these are activate after the changes. If these are inactive, you will have to activate all the objects.

Problem with Buttons/Form Fields in Acrobat PDF when created in InDesign CS4

So I have been working for quite some time on an interactive form for an internal client at my job. It has two major components, one is the side bar navigation, which I created using buttons in InDesign which link to bookmarks in the document. The second aspect is that I also created "check boxes" accoring to this video: http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/cs4/articles/lrvid4434_ds.html
I have two major issues:
1. Whenever I try to convert my boxes to form fields in Acrobat it will not recognize them unless I save out 4 pages at a time (rather than the whole document).
2. I then have to combine the document and get multiple sets of bookmarks, and some bookamrks are corrupted (not working properly). Even when I try to convert the whole document some of the buttons are corrupted.
UGH tired of this project, I am really bastardizing the whole thing to get it done, but want to figure out the problem as this is an ongoing document that we will be using over and over again in future years.
I am attaching the pdf file--this is a pieced together one (saved out 4 pages at a time) (which I did do some fixes to to get buttons to go to proper locations) and the original indesign file (partial file due to size).
PLEASE OH PLEASE HELP ME!

Acrobat's Form Wizard is good but not perfect when creating form data from a PDF. I have never encountered Acrobat not able to finish the process of creating all form fields, but have encountered very slugish performance afterwards when there was a lot of forms, buttons, and other elements within the pages. And I would say, from your attached PDF, it is pretty heavy with content. I am going to suggest an idea, but I have not tested this to see if it would work.
In InDesign, create a layer for your navigation tabs, and a layer for your text with the check boxes. Create two PDFs from ID, one PDF with just your-nav tabs, the second with just your text with check boxes. In Acrobat, perform the Form Wizard on the second PDF and see if this will finish, the idea here is to reduce the cllutter for the Form Wizard to finish. If it does, you can merge the first PDF as a layer with the second to have a completed document. Again, I have not tested this theory.

SRM 7.0 -Adding Custom fields in Contract Item screen at particular positn

Hi,
We have a requirement to add new custom fields in the Contract Item screen at required position, in Left and right side container.
We have tried the following methods but have not been able to achieve the same. Kindly help!
1) Added new field in Context through enhancemnt in the Details screen View of Contract , Binded the field to the field in structure INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF_CTR and add the field to teh Layout - Using this method, The field is not saved to the table.
2) Added the field to meta data table /SAPSRM/V_MDF_IC - This is positionng the field on teh right container at the bottom. We want to position it on left side.
Kindly help to understand where we are going wrong.
Thanks in advance,
Regards
Prasuna.

Hi Prasuna,
Sorry ..You are right..I was looking at some other WDC related to contract data..It you map the CUFs to /SAPSRM/S_CLL_CTR_ITEM which has the include structure INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF_CTR then it should work fine.
If you do this, are you able to view the new fields on the screen?
you mentioned that you are not able to save the data to the table.
Include your fields in INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF as well because if you add CUF to any of those doc types, you also have to add those CUF to the global structure for CUF documents.
Also Check if you fields are there in structures BBPS_CTR_CUF_ITEM,BBPS_CTR_UI_ITEM and BBPS_CTR_ITEM.
Check whether you have implemented the BADI's like BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI ,BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI and BBP_DOC_SAVE_BADI . check out the structures (whether they having the CUFS) used in those if you have implemented any of them .

Adding Summary Fields

Good Morning Everyone,
We would like to add summary Fields.
1)
Double click on the Data Model icon on the Object Navigator
Click on the Summary Column tool on the Data Model Editor's left hand toolbar
Double Click on CS_1
and so on
2)use SUM at Report Wizard :
After researches, we founded Creating summary / formula columns in data model does not show them in paper layout. We learnt the report wizard, and choose to display the summary / formula column in one of the steps.
Following Report Wizard and will see SUM option;

We have hard time in both ways.
If you have experience in Adding Summary Fields, please share with us.
Thank in advance,

Edited by: New Yorker on Aug 17, 2010 7:44 AM

Your screen shot shows that you have nothing selected as a summary. So, there is nothing to display in the layout. What is your exact problem? The available fields don't look like you can SUM them, so the option is not available.
we founded Creating summary / formula columns in data model does not show them in paper layoutIf you add them later on, you can manually add them in the layout.
