Adobe Form - Data Binding for static text

Hi Experts,
I'm trying to create a new label with Adobe Forms (not interactive).
So I've created an interface with a table LABEL_DATA (import) and many variables (import) and a new Form with Layout.
I tried to bind some text fields with the imported variables und fields from the table, they're all available in the context, but all fields are still empty (preview and print).
Field are Text Fields
Type is : Read Only
Data Binding is : $record.LABEL_DATA.KDMAT
Can someone please help me?
Thank you.
Regards,
David

Hello David,
In your interface, have you declared LABEL_DATA as GLOBAL Data ?
You can fill the table and variables in the INITIALISATION in the interface.
Then you can use the Global table and variables in the form.
In case you are missing some values; you can debug the code in INITIALISATION section. Get the import tables in INITIALISATION and filter the required values into Global Table and variables.

Adobe Form - Data Binding

Hi All
Apperently in Adobe Form, the data for a variable field can be bound in 'object-binding tab' - Object can be a text field or a subform - Could someone please tell me whether it is a common practice to bind data at the subform level ? or It is better to create a text field in the subform then bind the data to it? and will there be any problem later on If I bind data directly to a subform? - I'm new to this and I cannot find answer anywhere - Thanks

Hi Liem,
Both the ways are correct. There is not any problem doing binding in both the ways. But binding to subform is more easier. In case of creating tables it is preferred to drag and drop the data node from the data view to the form, as it is more easier and error free.

Adobe Form: Dynamic vlaue for Include text name. Script Coding

Hi,
Situtation:
Need to print an 'Include Text' in the Adobe form.
The key texname for the include name is dynamic - invoice number + position number.
I have created a Global Data variable item_textkey and assigned it to the inculde textname in 'Context'.
The Problem is I dont know how or where to assign a value to this global data variable at runtime, so the right include text is pulled up.
I tried the code in the "FormCalc' of the text field. But it doesnt work.
$record.ITEM_TEXTKEY = Concat ($record.IS_VBDKR.VBELN, $record.IS_VBDPR.POSNR)

Try the following in initialize event of the main subform
$record.ITEM_TEXTKEY.rawValue = Concat ($record.IS_VBDKR.VBELN.rawValue, $record.IS_VBDPR.POSNR.rawValue)

Call for adobe form is going for dump for multiple users

hi,
i am calling an adobe form in a program i.e. for multiple users. now my problem is.....
3 people are using same tcode to generate the adobe form output for different data. but when they click at a time on the button to generate the adobe output, then adobe form is coming for only one user and it is going for dump for other users.
and this dump is coming because of exception "CX_FP_API_INTERNAL" in funtion module FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME which i am using to get the function module name of the adobe form in my program.
can u please give me some solution to rectify this issue....

That's nothing!
An engineer and I contacted Adobe technical support by phone to ensure the PC I was having custom built was configured to its optimum. They advised XP64 as the best operating environment. After that discussion we had to completely revise procurement, etc to get the bits and compatible XP64 compatible software, putting the build project back a few weeks as well, Imagine how I laughed when I found out on one of these forums that XP64 is the worst choice and totally unsupported by CS4!
I have written to Shantanu Narayen, Adobe CEO and didn't even get an acknowledgement I raised this last week on the Adobe stand at BVE and was told they'd get someone to contact me asap but guess what, niet...! To be fair there has been one Adobe executive that recognises the problem and the damage poor customer support is causing the company; he has been as helpful as he can. Unfortunately, it seems the overall Adobe culture at the top is "get the money and run". If your problem goes beyond what's already on their web pages, tough luck!

Adobe Form Data Storage

When a user fills up a PCR Adobe Form from the portal where does the data or information is stored?
There should be a fundamental way that SAP stores Adobe form data. I want to understand how and where this data is placed in SAP prior to it updating the employees infotypes so I can retrieve it and report on SAP and non-SAP fields.
Same concept as in interface: data is sent from a file to SAP to update the back end. The file is stored separately from the back end up date data so it can be referenced later for support or other requirements. Same for the Adobe form data it needs to be maintained the same way for future reference and current reporting.

Well take the case of adobe forms based on web dynpro technology. Here the data is stored in context which are bean like structures and can store and transfer data to any system.
Thanks,

Access the adobe form data in the workflow container for further processin

HI,
I am using HCM processes and Forms. I need to access the form data in the workflow container once the workflow kicks off.
I need to access these data as would need it for further processing in the workflow.
I know that TS17900110 allows to import form conatiner to
-> WF Container in the field name and value pair. But I need to access a lot more fields than what is in the task. Is there a standard task which allow to retrieve all the fields in the form in one task or do I need to develope a custom class to do that. If so could you please provide some clue as in how to code this specific requirement as i am somewhat new to OO ABAP.
Thanks...

hi,
in the livecycle designer under libary tab u have webdynpro tab--->choose submit to sap button and place it in the adobe form ur designing. u can use this button to trigger the code that u have written in webdynpro java.
for eg if u have
a value node details
and under that two value attr fname,lname
import the model (Insertdata---it has two import param fname and lname)u need for updating the data to r3 system.
in the ctrller have a method submit.Here write the code to insert fname and lname into the db.
IPrivateMyForm.IDetailsElement elem = wdContext.nodeDetails().currentDetailsElement();
Insertdata_Input input = new Insertdata_Input();
wdContext.nodeInsertdata_Input().bind(input);
input.setFname(elem.getFname());
input.setLname(elem.getLname());
try
wdContext.currentInsertdata_InputElement().modelObject().execute();
wdContext.nodeOutput().invalidate();
catch (Exception ex)
{ ex.printStackTrace();}
ul bind details to the datasource.
when u edit ur interactive ui element these attr(fname and lname) vl be visible under dataview tab u can drag and drop them to the form

Adobe form -- Issue in Displaying Dynamic text along with Static text

Hi All,
I am having an issue when i am displaying a dynamic text along with static text in adobeforms.
The dynamic text is slightly coming down and not aligned with the static text. i can see half row it is coming down.
how to align both texts to be printed in same format.
Request all of your expert advices in achieving this .
Thank you in advance.
Thanks&Regards,
Phani Miriyaila.

Hi,
Select both dynamic and static text in the layout. Goto Object palette -> Layout. Give values to X,Y coordinates and Height & Width. Anchor properly and specify margins as well.
Select both dynamic and static text in the layout. Right click on it and goto palettes -> Paragraph. It gives you the text alignment options. Align the text and give similar font and size.
Thanks & Regards,

Cfselect data binding with statically defined options

I am having some trouble getting statically defined options
to remain in my cfselects when I use binding in CF8
I have four cfselects: Continent, Country, State/Province,
County
The continent select is populated by a list in a database,
and each subsequent select is populated depending on the continent
value (your run-of-the-mill related select box model).
I have a form that allows a user to edit an existing record
that uses these select boxes. The form is populated with data from
that existing record - for example, a record in which
Continent=North America, Country=United States, State=Montana, and
County=Meagher
The problem is that when I define a static option based on
what's already in the database:
<cfselect name="continentSelect"
bind="cfc:CF_Classes.places.getContinents()" bindonload="true">
<option value="#
defined continent name#" selected="selected">
defined continent name</option>
</cfselect>
the static option is displayed only momentarily while the
query is running and then disappears completely from the box once
the box is populated. I have got the option to stay when I turn
"bindonload" off, but even then when I trigger the binding the
option disappears. I have been able to get it to stay when I use
the old method of defining a query to populate the box, but then I
lose the binding ability in subsequent boxes so that options I
don't want to show are displayed (i.e. something like
Continent=North America, Country=Japan).
Maybe there isn't a way around this, but there is an example
of this type of thing in the CFML reference for CF8. I haven't
tested it so I don't know if that one works or not. Am I missing
something?

Hi,
There are a couple of ways you can do this. One is where the dropdown would change the presence of static text objects. The other would be where the dropdown would set the actual text within a textfield.
Sample here: https://acrobat.com/#d=k2tAeWMsKS0pEbhmWt33oA
Good luck,

Adobe Form in ABAP not showing texts

Hello all,
I have created an Adobe form to output a specific form with data from some import fields and from an internal table.
During the layout of the form I put some of these import fields, which are character fields of various lengths on the form. I also fill the caption details but when testing the form only the values passed are shown and the caption is missing.
Also with the headings of my table, they're not shown.
To get passed the initial problem I used a text with a floating field to show the data values. But I can't get why I can't see my table headers, does anyone have any suggestions?
Each cell is of type text and to get text in there, I right clicked the cell and chose edit text...
I will reward points for successful answers

Hi Anto,
I can only see the text at design time. In print preview it's just blank or when I print it. I really don't know what else to do with it. The values do come through from the parameters and data passed through because the table displays correctly as well as the floating text variables. Any ideas?
Thanks
Wayne

Adobe form data not being retrieved by Web Dynpro application

Hi,
I have created an online interactive Adobe form embedded in a Web Dynpro ABAP application. The Web Dynpro application calls a function module to update data in SAP. My problem is that the ABAP code that was generated to retrieve the data from the Adobe form and call the function module does not retrieve the data if it has been typed into any of the input fields. Oddly enough, it does work if the data is entered by using the value helps that have been placed on the form.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!
Russell

Use messageboxes on various events to find out when your value dissapeears.
If you´re not sure about the binding, you can always drag/drop from data view tab onto the layout and check the binding which the system generates for you. Just to make sure.

How to change the submit form data - standard e-mail text?

everytime, when submitting data of a form, in the e-mail appears a standard text like below:
The attached file contains data that was entered into a form. It is not the form itself.
The recipient of this data file should save it locally with a unique name. Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later can process this data by importing it back into the blank form or creating a spreadsheet from several data files. See Help in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later for more details.
My experience shows, that this may confuse the user. I would like to write in a simple way, for example:
Thanks for submitting form....
My question: Is it possible to change this standard text, and if yes how?
I would be grateful for any comment or advice!

Dear Gilad,
Thanks for your fast answer! Yes, mailDoc specifies the text for the email. This is working fine!
But what about the form data as attachment? the attachemnt is missing.
Best regards!

How to insert Adobe Form Data in the SAP backend?

Hi there,
I am very new to Adobe Forms. I am supposed to come up with a working scenario of inserting few form fields into the SAP backend. Is this done through a BAPI call? Or is there any other way for this to achieve?
I have downloaded trial version of Adobe LifeCycle Designer. But I don't know how to integrate this with the SAP system. Is there anything else that I need to install in my system?
Is there a document on how to configure all the installations for both local machine and the server (if any)?
Please help.....
[I went through the forum for this, but I did not get anything]
Warm regards,
Deepak

Adobe Form Data Integration into SAP using RFC

Hi All,
I have created a Adobe Form, there is a button Called Submit ,On clicking that button the Adobe form must call a RFC function Module and pass the data from the form to Function Module.
I have written the below code for the submit button but it is not working.Please Lemme know if u have any solutions..
Below is my code
//Submit this form to SAP using web services
var webService = xfa.resolveNode("xfa.record.WEBSERVICE");
xfa.host.messageBox ("test 3");
var response = Net.SOAP.request(
cURL: webService.value,
oRequest: {
"urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions:ZUPDATETIMESHEET":{
TIMESHEET: t_time_record,
HEADTIME: wa_head
cContentType: "text/xml"
xfa.host.messageBox ("test 4");
var success = response["urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions:ZUPDATETIMESHEET.Response"]["SUCCESS"];
var response = response["urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions:ZUPDATETIMESHEET.Response"]["RESPONSE"];
if (success == "X") {
xfa.host.messageBox(response, "Response from SAP", 3);
CONFIRMED.rawValue = "Yes";
ConfirmedLogo.presence = "visible";
for (var nPageCount = 0; nPageCount < xfa.host.numPages; nPageCount++) {
var oFields = xfa.layout.pageContent(nPageCount, "field");
var nNodesLength = oFields.length;
for (var nNodeCount = 0; nNodeCount < nNodesLength; nNodeCount++) {
oFields.item(nNodeCount).access = "readOnly";
if (oFields.item(nNodeCount).border.fill.color.value == "255,0,0")
oFields.item(nNodeCount).border.fill.color.value = "255,255,255";
if (oFields.item(nNodeCount).ui.oneOfChild.className == "button") //Hide all buttons
oFields.item(nNodeCount).presence = "hidden";
ZUPDATETIMESHEET is my Function Module.
t_time_record and wa_head are the parameters being passed to the function Module.
Please lemme know if i have to do any settings and configurations also...
I have attached the entire code in the below file...
Thanks in Advance

Maruti,
1. Just use the RFC's that does the update.
2. There are update flags for each field that you would like to update. These flags should be marked be marked for update. They come along with the classes that are generated when you import the RFC's.
3 Call BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT afterwards.
All the above steps have to be done in the program.

Weird character 'u00A4' display at output of ADOBE form in SAP for amount

When display pattern for amount field is set for ADOBE form in SAP, output displays ' ¤ '.
All display patterns shows '$' at the begining, but when output is generated it displays '¤'.
Advice me how to eliminate this. (or)
Is there a way to hide this character.

I am not saying this is your problem BUT I was troubled for quite a while by having unprintable characters imbedded within text fields. It turns out that Ctrl V character was being embedded within text by user.
So I suggest that you view the data while in debug and do it in hex. This was the only way I was able to see that I had a problem with the text itself. Then I was able to add logic to filter for these errors.

Adobe Form - Object property for FormCalc/Javascript

Hi All
I'm learning to use Adobe Form - FormCalc/Javascript - In some of the examples that I have seen fofar
the codes (FormCalc/Javascript) used a qualified name of an object property for setting value i.e.
In FormCalc:
DateTimeField1.rawValue = num2date(date(), DateFmt(3))
In Javascript:
this.rawValue = xfa.layout.pageCount();
pantsWaist.border.edge.color.value = "255,0,0";
pantsLength.presence = "hidden"
etc..
Could someone please tell me how/where I can get the property list that available for an object ?
(i.e. rawValue, presence, value etc...) I can't see on the Form builder (sorry for such a novice question - but as I said I am very new)
Thanks
Points will be rewarded for any reply -

Hi Liem,
Whenever u press a "." after any oject say $ in FormCalc, or this in Javascript u will find relative properties that u can set at that time for the mentioned object.
try this, place a Text field, select that and go to script editor, select language FormCalc:
write $. and u will find a dropdown that'll show u possible list of properties u can change.
Similarly, if u try this with "this." in JavaScript another dropdown will show u possible list of properties that u can change.
Hope this helps
Regards
Amita
