Adobe Form - Content Area can't be moved

I'm working on an ADOBE invoice form. I set up the company logo, ship to and sold to address and footer as boiler plate objects on the master page. The other data like table header and line item data are in the body page (which is flowed) that I call " Main". Now my problem is: I want to make the item data print starting from 10 cm from the top.I cannot move the content area down to the 10 cm level so now my MAIN body page starts from X and Y coordinates = 0 and the data starts printing from that position spilling over the logo and all other header data. I tried leaving the content area alone and only move the MAIN body page. It does not move down either. How do I fix this problem? Is the content area not supposed to be moved down or do I have a bug in my designer? Thanks.

Thanks both of you. I think my question is answered. It is possible to move and resize the content area in the master page. I tried it but does not still work for me. I changed the underlying XML file and the content area moved so I think it is definitely a problem with the designer. Thanks.

    Hello,
    You can do any of the following for your requirement:
    1)     You can change your Body page (MAIN) to have u201CPositionu201D Layout.  Then you should be able to move your fields down.
    OR, If you require MAIN to have Flowed Layout then do the following.
    2)       Create a new subform within the MAIN SubForm (lets call it MAIN_POS).  Then set the Layout of this new Subform to Position.  Then place your fields in MAIN_POS subform, and move them down.
    Hope this helps,
    Harman.

  • Adobe Livecycle Designer -  Content Area can not be re-sized

    I've installed Adobe Livecycle Designer 7.1 and I am able to create forms using transaction SFP and print them.
    According to the Adobe documentation, I should be able to re-size the content area on the Master page.  When I try to do this, I am able to make the content area smaller, but can't make the area bigger.  I also can't move the content area down.  the application ignores what I do, but doesn't give any error message or warnings.
    has anyone else experienced this situation??

    Hi Chris,
    First make sure that you are in the Edit mode in transacrion SFP. If you are in Display mode the changes you make will not be saved. Also a message is displayed 'Changes in layoyt are not saved in display mode'.
    Next make sure that if you are resizing the content area for a particular Master page, you first need to select that master page from the Hierarchy view and then click on the Tab named Master in the Layout editor. Only then the changes will be reflected.
    Hope this helps.

  • LPN which has an allocation for its contents partially can not be moved

    LPN#A has qty of 10 for ITEM1 and this LPN#A is packed and stored at a storage subinventory.
    A move order Issue is created for ITEM1 for qty 2 and approved.
    Move order pick slip is run with auto allocation on.
    An allocation is created automatically for ITEM1 for qty2 pointing to LPN#A.
    We need to issue out qty2 from this packed LPN#A which has qty 10. Hence it needs to be unpacked and split. To perform this I need to move this LPN#A to a packing station.
    System does not allow to move the whole packed LPN#A to the packing station due to existing allocation.
    It is WMS enabled organization and we use Mobile WMS.
    Is there a way out to introduce the staging concept here. So the LPN#A could be staged to the packing station as soon as it is picked.
    We do not have shippig and order management so depend on Move orders which we create manually via create move order screen.

    After picking the LPN#A it may take a few days to complete the packing/splitting.
    So inventory balance needs to show that LPN#A has been picked and moved to a packing location.
    The issue of move order will take place from this packing station.

  • Adobe Form :  Extended text area

    Hi,
    My client requested an interactive adobe form where they can enter text like a word file. Once the layout field comes to an end, the text area should be extended automatically for them to key in more text. is it possible. Please advice.
    Thanks
    Maanu

    Hi Ashwini,
    I have the similar kind of requirement, where I am displaying the Notification longtext fro SAP. I have made the text box editable, so that the user can input as many text lines as he wants. This is client's requirement.
    I have wrapped my textbox in a Flowed subform and also checked the Expand to fit property for the text box.
    But still my text box's height is not dynamic. The height of the box is fixed according to the no of lines coming from SAP. If I want to add more lines, the box is not increasing in height. Similarly, when I am deleting some of the text, the box size is not reducing.
    Do you have any idea, how can I achieve this requirement?
    Do I need to use script for this? Or I can achieve this without scripting?

  • Problem with table in Adobe Form in Web Dynpro JAVA??

    Hello all,
    I have an issue with the table displaying all the node values in the Adove Form. Right now it displays only the first element of the Node even if there are multiple entries.
    Not sure what is going wrong here.
    How is the table created in a interactive form? Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you, John

    Siva,
    I referred to the website, but still having issues with generating tables in Adobe Form. I can get all the table rows in the adove form, but the pdf doee not add new pages to display all the table rows. It just createa one page with the table inside it, display few of the rows and truncates rest of the table data.
    Here is the heirarchy of the page with the properties set
    Master Pages ---
            ||--> Page 1
                     ||--> content area

  • Adobe form for leave request

    Dear experts,
    There is no standard leave request form provided by SAP. We are developing an adobe form which lists the employee's quota and leaves taken earlier along with the current leave details. This form should be displayed to the approvers from the leave workflow.
    When the approver clicks on the work item, the leave request form should popup. There are two technical challenges in this requirement -
    1. This requirement is similar to the standard ones for travel request and expense request - In travel request and expense request, SAP has provided standard forms and the workflow container is a standard importing parameter in these adobe forms. This container is helpful in deriving most of the content on the adobe form. However, there is no such link in case of leave request. How does the workflow information be passed to the adobe form? ( i will have to display employee details, quota, current leave, approvers list, approvers comments, etc).
    2. For leave request, the approval task is TS12300097 that has "Java Webdynpro" as visualization type. Whereas for travel and expense workflow approval tasks, the visualization type is "ABAP Webdynpro". I am assuming the "JAVA WD" will make it really tough to call the adobe form from the work item.
    Any thoughts, suggestions on this requirement will be of great help.
    Thanks

    Hi Abdul
    which version u r currently working on?? check in swfvisu t-code where you can find the below task
    I'm not that good at technical level, but still I try to help you with my limited knowledge.Instead of trying from binding rule, try with Function Module via  BOR Object Method.  you can get that function module at the time Adobe form creation. Can't you consider that Adobe form as a attachment in the work item???

    Hi Flavien Gagoum 
    In Adobe form, there are two types of forms are available.
    1. Static (Which can not be changed)
    2. Interactive (Which can be chaged, and we can make some / Many fiels disabled)
    So for your case, try to use Static form, hope you have used interactive form.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Advice on content area layout & subfolders

    Hi all!
    We're just starting to use content areas for real document management, and I was hoping someone could offer some advice on the layout of one or more of these content areas.
    I'm trying to build a typical corporate "Document Library". Parts of the library will be available to "Public" corporate users (corporate users who have not logged on to the app yet), other parts will be available to all authenticated users, and other parts will be available to only certain groups. (Relatively easy so far...)
    So far I have these all in a single content area called DOCLIB, with two folders: PUBLIC and CORPORATE. (Ultimately there will be a third high-level group for FRANCHISE users -- non-corporate stores.) PUBLIC is accessible to public users; DOCLIB itself and DOCLIB/CORPORATE are accessible to AUTHENTICATED_USERS. PUBLIC contains subfolders such as NEWS, HELP, FAQS, HRDOCS ("public" HR docs), PRESS_RELEASES, etc. CORPORATE contains subfolders such as NEWS, PLANNERS, IT_DOCS, HRDOCS ("logged on only" HR docs), etc.
    A few questions:
    1. Does it make sense to break out the PUBLIC and CORPORATE folders at the very top level, or are do people generally put the private folders as subfolders of the corresponding public ones? (Ideally I'd rather put these both into the same folder and simply show more documents once the user logs on, but I couldn't get this working properly.)
    2. I currently have the "DocLib" content area showing on the main portal page, defaulting to the PUBLIC folder. However, once the users log in, I'd like to switch the focus to the root DOCLIB folder instead of the PUBLIC subfolder. As it runs now, the focus remains on the PUBLIC folder, and the user must click on the folder path to move to the root folder. Is there any way around this short of creating two different tabs, one for public users and the other for logged-on users? (Once they log on now I show an additional 3-6 tabs on that page.)
    3. I'd like to show certain folders (such as "News/System News" and "News/Company News" in their own portlets (in addition to inside the overall Document Library portlet). Unfortunately, once the user logs in, the folder path is displayed, and the user can navigate to parent folders while inside this portlet. (This will horribly confuse some of our users...) I know I can turn off the folder path for this folder, but then it is also gone when this folder is displayed inside the overall "Document Library" portlet (where I'd like to still show the folder path). Is there any way around this?
    4. Is there any straightforward way to display the same document in more than one folder? If I use perspectives, it looks like I then give up control over how the page gets formatted, if I use a Folder Link, the folder opens up in its own page instead of inside the portal area, and if I use a URL to point the "second" copy back to the first, this will be difficult for later content managers to maintain. Am I missing another easy way to do this?
    I know how to do all this via the PDK, but we're trying to use as much of the built-in content-management tools as possible instead of building more PDK-based code.
    btw: We are still in Portal 3.0.8, although we're moving to 3.0.9 as soon as possible.
    Sorry for the length of the post, but any insight anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi All
    We are using release 2, and we are looking into using a page template containing a JSP portlet for a consistent navigation bar/header. What do you think of this approach?
    Regards
    Harry
    Jon,
    There are a variety of ways to do this:
    One way is to modify the page that the content area is on to contain the portlets that you would like on your page. Those portlets would contain your banners, links, logos, etc. Note that the page under a content area can not contain tabs.
    Another way to do this is to create separate pages and link to those pages from your navigation bar manually.
    Note that in release 2 of Oracle9iAS Portal we have combined the content area and page concepts so that there is no more 'drill out of the portal page' loss of context, so you could use Oracle9i Application Release 2 also.

  • Automatically login the user when he clicks on a URL in Adobe Form

    Hi Experts,
    Am currently working on the e-recruitment module & have a query pertaining to Adobe Forms. As per client requirement the offer letters are despatched to the candidates in the form of an Adobe Form. This form will contain a URL to a 3rd party website. On clicking the URL the candidate would be taken to a website where in he can attend some online training sessions. Now the complexity lies in the fact that the client is adamant upon the user being automatically logged on to that website when he clicks on this link. Am new to Adobe Forms and could just realize up to creating an URL for navigating to the logon page. But how can I embed even the users credentials within this link so that he is automatically logged on to the website? Any inputs on this would be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Uday

    Hi Otto,
    Sorry for the late reply its 10pm for me here... And yes I do very much need your help as to how to proceed with the development. We were all thinking to try say to the client as it isnt that easy to come up with a solution! Would really appreciate your inputs over the same...
    And please forgive me I just got to get some more clarifications. There is a standard smartform provided by SAP HRRCF_CS_EXA_OFFER_CONTRACT which is used as a template by the system when an offer is extended to someone. (This template is maintained in SPRO against the extend offer activity) Internally SAP does convert this smartform into a pdf for mail/preview/print purpose. So am sorry that this isn't directly an Adobe Form which I can enhance. I guess I would have to enhance the smartform to contain a URL....  Sorry for the mixup & hope you can help me with this form instead. I would at least like to learn this URL generation logic if you aren't knowledgeable about including a URL in a smartform.
    Regards,
    Uday
