Adobe form creation with fillable=X fails

Hello experts,
I am working with a form designed in SFP - in the PDF preview everything is fine, the fields are fillable.
When I create the form with the generated function module, it only works when docparams-fillable is empty (but then it is a static form)
If I call the function module with fillabe=X I get a FPRUNX error. I need a fillable form (unfortunately).
I have seen in the forum that others had the same problem - but have not found a solution yet.
What do I need to tell the basis people for checking ADS configuration or installation?
best regards,
Johannes

Hello!
If you want yo make form fillable that means it becomes not just print form, but interactive form. Even if you are not planning to send data back to SAP and just want to change smth in the form before output - it is still sort of interaction, isn't it?
Unlike print-forms part of this solution (which is included in you SAP license), interactive part requires additional licensing and installation of special credential on ADS server.
Only if you have credential installed at the server you can make form fillable.

Forms creation with fillable info

I deal with the same set of forms everyday, but just with different info. I have about 5 forms that I would like to "link together". I have to repeat much of the same info over all 5 forms (shipper name, delivery location, freight description, weights, ID numbers, dates, etc...). It would be great if I could enter the info once and have it drop that info in the correct spaces on each form rather than manually doing on each. Is there any way to accomplish this easily? I gather that I may need to create a "data base" page and have it pull the info across the document string or populate in to various drop down locations. Thanks in advance!

Are the form fields in all of these files named the same (at least, those
that you want to populate with the same info)?

Problem in submit button on adobe form integrated with web dynpro

Hello,
I'm facing prob in triggering web dynpro event onSubmit for Interactive form.
I've created a submit button from web dynpro activex pallete on adobe form (integrated with web dynpro) to send the form as email.
Then in the web dynpro view where this form is embedded i have created an action against onSubmit event and called a method within this.
However, on clicking Submit button this event is not getting triggered.
Please let me know what is lacking in this process?
Thanks.

Hi,
I am also facing the same problem. i have developed a simple scenario under which user have to input his/her details and on submit button it will be updated to database.
I have tried the above solution but after adopting this solution all the editable fields become non-editable.
so the above solution is not working for me could you help me out.
I think ... try this....
When you create the Adobe Form from WebDynpro, you need to follow one step in SFP Transaction or inSE80 transaction. Open the Adobe Form in any one the transaction and now in SAP menu bar "Utilities" in that you will find the "INSERT THE WEBDYNPRO SCRIPT" just click on that one. Then you will see a new Script Object is being created with the name "ContainerFoundation_JS" under the "Variables" in the Heirarchy of the Object Pallete of the Adobe Form.
This step is mandatory to use the SUBMIT Button of the "WebDynpro Native", to trigger the OnSubmit event of the WebDynpro.
Thanks

Adobe Forms creation

The department I work in receives paper job requests. I would like to automate that with an online form. I created an online form with the Adobe forms maker application. So, a person from another department will be able to fill out an online job request form, and that form will be submitted to my department. Now this is where I get stumped and need advice...After the other department submits the online job request to my departmet, I need to add additional employee info and charge info that will connect to the first submitted form in some way. Is there a way this can be done with Adobe forms maker? Thank you in advance for your input.
Michelle

Hi Michelle,
You can try the following to see if it works for you:
- Create a new column directly in the Response table (this way the column would not be visible on the fillable form), named "Additional Info" or similar
- Now, after the form is submitted, you can type additional info into "Additional Info" cell in the corresponding response row
Thanks

Adobe forms - problem with the character "9"

I have the problem with printing Adobe forms that were introduced with Russian country version.
Funny enough I have no problems with russian characters. They all print all right.
We have however the problem with character "9". On the preview of the pdf it looks ok. When I print it from PDF preview it prints ok. But when I process it for sap to the HP output device (device type HPLJ4) "9" gets replaced with "<".
Has anyone experienced this problem?

ok, you're right. But, my problem is a little bit different :
I would like to replace the "\n" character (new line) by the 2 characters "\n".
I test this source code :
String tmp = "First line\nSecond line";
tmp.replaceAll("\n", "\u005C\u005Cn");
System.out.println(tmp);
tmp.replaceAll("\n", "\\n");
System.out.println(tmp);
tmp.replaceAll("\n", "\\\\n");
System.out.println(tmp);
The 3 results are the same :
First line
Second line
I never have "First line\nSecond line".
Best regards.

PS : The objective is to write the string in a SQL request.

Adobe form: Issue with BACK, CANCEL and EXIT buttons

I am new to Adobe forms. I created a simple demo Adobe form and was able to print it successfully except a strange problem.
Whenever I opt for print preview it shows me a blank page. On pressing enter it shows me the form, But now none of the BACK, EXIT, CANCEL buttons work. On pressing any of them I keep getting the print form.
So the only way I can come out of it is /n.
Can anyone please help with the reason for such an issue and how to get rid of it.
Regards,
Ashutosh

Maybe you can tell us something more about the code you use to print your form. I think thatis the problem. Otto

Adobe form validation with Print button

Hi All,
I have an adobe form with field validation (javascript) already set up but I'm trying to add one more feature to the validation.
Let me explain my initial validation first: I have 18 required fields with their tooltip name having an '*' at the end. Any fields not filled in with this tooltip marker will show up on an alert message when the print button is selected.
There are two fields called IException and Amount that are required but an End User might have additional IExceptions and corresponding Amounts. Therefore I have created 5 textboxes for each but only the first IException and Amount are absolutely required (and I use a '*' within their tooltip). Now if an End User has an additional IExceptions ("IException2") and fills out this field, I need to make it mandatory that "Amount2" would also have to be filled in.
Here is my code: [code]
function validateFields()
var flg = 0
var n = this.numFields
var fArr = new Array();
for(var i = 0;i<n;i++)
var fn = this.getNthFieldName(i);
var f = this.getField(fn);
var tt = f.userName
if(tt.indexOf('*')!=-1 && f.value == f.defaultValue)
flg++;
fArr[fArr.length] = tt;
if(flg>0)
app.alert('There are '+flg+' fields that require a value\n\n'+ fArr,3)
var IException2 = document.getElementById('IException2').value;
var Amount2 = document.getElementById('Amount2').value;
if ((IException2.length >0) && (Amount2.length == 0))
app.alert('Amount is missing')
else
document.ExceptionForm1.print();
validateFields();
[/code]
Currently when one of the require fields is NOT filled in, i receive my first alert message. If all required fields are filled in my print button doesn't work. Also if all required fields are filled in and IException2 is also filled in but Amount2 is not, I don't receive my second Alert message. So my code works up to the "Var IException2 = document....." and I don't know what the issue is.
Thank you for your help in advance.

One more question, since I have 4 of these...I'm having trouble getting the button to do exactly what its suppose to based on what's filled in because i think i have my '{ }' messed up and or IF/ELSE statement is wrong...can you please take a look..
function validateFields()
var flg = 0
var n = this.numFields
var fArr = new Array();
for(var i = 0;i<n;i++)
var fn = this.getNthFieldName(i);
var f = this.getField(fn);
var tt = f.userName
if(tt.indexOf('*')!=-1 && f.value == f.defaultValue)
flg++;
fArr[fArr.length] = tt;
if(flg>0)
app.alert('There are '+flg+' fields that require a value\n\n'+ fArr,3)
var a = this.getField('IException2').value;
var b= this.getField('Amount2').value;
if ((a.length >0) && (b.length == 0))
app.alert('Since IException 2 is filled in, Amount 2 is also required')
var c = this.getField('IException3').value;
var d= this.getField('Amount3').value;
if ((c.length >0) && (d.length == 0))
app.alert('Since IException 3 is filled in, Amount 3 is also required')
var e = this.getField('IException4').value;
var f= this.getField('Amount4').value;
if ((e.length >0) && (f.length == 0))
app.alert('Since IException 4 is filled in, Amount 4 is also required')
var g = this.getField('IException5').value;
var h= this.getField('Amount5').value;
if ((g.length >0) && (h.length == 0))
app.alert('Since IException 5 is filled in, Amount 5 is also required')
else
this.print();
validateFields();

Adobe forms issue with signature pads

Hi everyone,
I am new to and just joined this forum as I never had to until this point. I am having some strange issue with adobe forms and using signature pad.
I have a form built using adobe X. I am using Topaz signature pad to have a digital signature in my form. My application (which was built on Progress 4GL) opens up this form using rich text editor. Most of my clients remote login to use the application. Every now and then my clients complain that whenever they click on the signature field on the form to open up the signature pad window, it kicks them out of the whole application. This happens so randomly that they can't predict when it occurs. I logged each and every lines on my code to see if there's any issue with the codes but they all execute fine. And I can't log after the form is open as adobe takes the control and they handle the communication with signaute pad. So far I have checked if there's any memory leakage that would kick me out and it's fine. And I think there's no driver issue as this happens randomly. A client who gets kicked out 1st time if tries the 2nd or 3 rd time following the same steps and same form, can successfully gets the job done.
Have any of you had faced similar issue. If you have any solutions or ideas that would be a great help to me.
Thanks!!
Him

Updates: Just found out that this issue rises only to the clients using Wyse terminals. Has anyone had any issue using Adobe forms and Wyse terminals?

Adobe Form - Problem with Cyrillic texts on zebra printers (ZPL)

Hello,
we have problems with an adobe form. We try to print this adobe form on a zebra printer with the device type "AZPL203". In this adobe form we have to print the material description in german and russian language.
When we print out the adobe form on a normal printer (e.g. HP) everything is fine. But when we print the form on a zebra printer, the russian textwill not be printed on the label. In the print preview of the form, we will see the correct russian text.
So can anybody help me?
Did anybody print cyrillic text on a zebra printer?
Thanks in advance.
Marc.

Good afternoon,
First.. I apologize because I know this is the wrong thread. But the folks in this thread apparently have the missing piece of info that I/we desperately need.. Could you please help me to understand what I'm missing, or at least point me to a forum with the answer?
We have a few tags that print to a Zebra Z105SL printer via Smartforms. But due to recent design changes in the tags, and a desire to stay up with current technology, we/I would like to design the new tags in Adobe PDF-forms. The design is not a problem, but we cannot get SAP and the Zebra printer to make nice and print anything. For now, I've created a simple tag with a text field and a couple of bar codes on it, just to test and prove that the Zebra will print a PDF. We are using PDF-forms for several of our business forms, so everything works, but the Zebra just won't print a PDF. I don't know what I'm missing.. I know it's possible, but I can't figure out the "how" part. Could you please let me know how you did it?
Many thanks!
Bill

Convert numeric in words in adobe forms (start with the currency)

Below script i found here for converting numeric into words and its work perfectly. Just I edit in UAE currency.
It is possible to move the dirhams (currency) in front like. 1,900,000.55 = Dirhams One Million Nine Hundred Thousand and Fifty Five fils Only. (with period)

Hi RK,
We had a similar requirement and we used Web Dynpro for Java which contained the Interactive Form that would display the personnel area, personnel sub area, etc.
We developed a custom application in WD Java which would accept entries from the user on each screen after clicking on the Change Personnel area link in the portal. The user would put in the values and when the user would click on the Submit button, an adobe form would be displyed which would show the existing values as well as the values the user newly entered.
Hope this helps. Do let me know if you need any further inputs.

Adobe Forms Integration with portal

HI,
We have some Adobe forms created under SE80.
Now i need to show that forms in Enterprise Portal.
SO i have created an Iview Template and selected sap webdynapro iview --> webdynapro for abap iview and
then proided the System, Name space and Appln name of that form.
When i preview it i can see the respective form. But when i update something in the form it is not getting updated.
Regards,
Raju

Raju,
I assume you have developed ActiveX enabled Adobe forms wherein whenever the user opens up the Adobe Form, and Adobe dll is downloaded on user's machine. Again there is a catch here, the user needs to have Admin rights on his/her machine so that dll downloads correctly.
If the user does not have Admin rights then the installation of DLL fails and hence you may be seeing the read cross mark.
I would suggest change the displayType to native in Adobe Form properties and also make sure to select the elements from respective library in Adobe LiveCycle Designer. For Eg: If form is native and you want a value help then select Value help from Web Dynpro Native Library Palette in Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
