Adobe form fields get reset

Hi Experts,
I have this adobe form working fine in the production environment. We have upgraded our systems to EHP5 and testing is in process. In one of the Adobe forms, there are two fields which gets refreshed and sets to default values when I click on next and click on previous to come to this screen. This is not happening in the PRD enviroment.
I compared the bindings between the two systems and everything looks fine. Nothing has changed. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Praveen

Round trip clearing adobe form field values not binded to webdynpro context

Hi ,
I have developed a webdynpro ABAP application with Interactive form. I'm calling a webservice on 'exit event' of the one of the form fields. Once webservice is executed, Im filling a table with 300 rows which is in the form. The table fileds are binded to webservice fields from the dataview of the form , these are not webdynpro context attributes in the data view.
But when I open any seach help , this table values are disappearing. I need to execute the webservice again to get the values.
can any one tell why the values in the table are disappearing? since I have binded to the webservice fields the values should remain there.
Apprecaite your response.

Ravi

I looked over that note yesterday, but too quickly - i thought it was an older note explaining which standard programs to run to test out the connection etc...
but i see now that there is an important point:
The "pdfSource" attribute of the InteractiveForm UI element should be linked only if the Web Dynpro ABAP application requires the PDF document for further processing (saving data to the database, and so on). However, it is mostly only the data entered in the interactive form that is relevant for the application. If this attribute is linked, the Web Dynpro ABAP framework must request an updated PDF document from the Adobe document services each time data is changed in the form.
It looks like this is saying that a round trip is possible in WDA.
EDIT - I wish SAP would fix this certificate issue. My first post every day is doubled because of it.

Incremental number assigned to adobe form field upon opening form

I have a form posted on the web that clients fill out and submit when they hire a new employee.
Is there a way to have a number populate in a field incrementally that does not repeat. For instance if the form is opened by user 1, it gets Form 1, then later user 2 gets Form 2. The number would not repeat.
. Any thought?

Form fields can't directly-communicate with a webserver except during the submit process, so you can't use the same counter tools that websites use. There are some options to allow PDF forms to pull data from remote servers (using Flash) when the document opens, but again it will require some code on the server to send the correct information, and creates problems if the person filling in the form is offline at the time (or denies the network connection dialog). Using a timestamp field solves the problem of your users being offline, but it's only going to give you a pseudo-unique code (there's a tiny chance two forms could get the same value if they were opened at the same time) and of course the value you get is huge - not the sort of thing you'd want as an employee number.
Setting up something in PHP or ASP to run the type of XFDF/FDF workflow I show in the video isn't difficult, and the code will run on any web host which supports those languages. You don't need a special type of server.

Adobe Form not getting interactive in Web Dynpro

Hello Experts,
I am facing a strange sort of behaviour, which has drawn my plenty of time, while making use of Interactive Adobe Form in Web Dynpro component.
In my scenario, I have one existing Adobe Form with interface of type "ABAP Dictionary-based interface". While using this form in Interactive Form element in Web Dynpro and making it enabled, it is not giving me the expected output, that is - Interactive Form in browser window. Instead, it is showing me read only Adobe Form. Has it to do with type of interface?
Looking forward to active replies.
Regards,
Harsh

Hello Harsh,
In webdynro adobe integration we use webdynpro native controls and the form must be in the
ZCI layout. In SFP >layout you have to insert the webdynpro script .After going to the layout
go to utilites and insert webdynpro script.Then you can find a variable containerfoundation_js.
If you have changed the layout from standard layout to ZCI layout in form builder (SFP), the update the layout using program FP_ZCI_UPDATE.
Refer to link below

Using comment tools in adobe form fields

Is there any way to enable commenting tools so they work within pdf form fields? I have created a pdf form, and as part of the review process (once the form is completed), other users need to be able to use commenting features on the text entered into the form fields (i.e. highlighting, strikethrough, etc.). I haven't found any way to do this within the fields themselves.

Acrobat can flatten all form fields / comments via Preflight (which lives in the Print Production tool pane) - select "single fixups" - the wrench icon - then type "flatten" in the search box to find the "Flatten all form fields" fixup, and run it.
You can also flatten everything via the JS console. Press Ctrl-J to open the console, clear it with the trash icon, enter the command this.flattenPages() and press ENTER.
If you want more control over what is flattened, we have a free add-on for Acrobat here.
Note that you cannot flatten a Reader-extended document, so you must first use the File > Save a Copy menu item to de-extend your form.
Once flattened it's no longer a form, so the field values become part of the page (and can receive annotation markup). However to allow markup in Reader, you will have to re-extend the PDF usage rights.

My PDFs with form fields get "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." on anothers computer, PC and MAC

Im creating PDFs through InDesign and using Acrobat Pro 9 to add fields. I save them to allow ADobe Reader people to use them. Everything works fine on Pro and Reader on my end with a PC as well as someone elses PC. But one person using Mac said some forms work and some dont. Those that dont get the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Ive resaved them and made sure they work and same problem. There is nothing overly coplex about the PDFs either, a date field at the most. They are using Reader 9.1.
I found out the other day that one person who can open them adds info to them saves them and send over to that other person and cannot open any of them after they have been edited, same error. He even tried on a PC and still gets it.
I dont know what to do. I know it has to be on his end and not mine. What else can I suggest to him??

It sounds like they are using an earlier version of Acrobat or Reader, though you said Reader 9.1. If you add some features in AA9 that are new, it appears that earlier versions see the new features as damaged files. At least that is my guess. Try using Reduce File Size or PDF Optimize to save to an earlier version and see if that helps. The other option is that you are getting them messed up in e-mail because many client look at PDF files as ascii and do not encrypt them. In that case force the encryption. You can also send them in ZIP form.

Adobe Form NOT getting displayed in WebDynpro Modal Window (Pop Up)

Hi,
I am trying to display the table data in a Interactive Form. I have used TABLE UI element in Interactive Form. When the user clicks on a EXPORT button this form is displayed in a pop up window (Modal Window). This form is not getting displayed for most of the users. In some PC's it is getting displayed, strange is all their browser versions and OS versions are same.
Portal Version: NW04s SP8
NWDS Version : NW04s SP8
Adobe Live Designer: 7.1
Acrobat Reader: 7.0.8
I tried changing the display type (property of Interactive Form Element) to NATIVE, it is not working at all. If i change it to "activeX", then it works in some PC's.No logs are found in the server as well as in the client PC as well.
Please let me know if you have come across this problem, looking forward to your solution.

Hi,
It seems to be available only for ABAP version. I cant find it in the java version.. check this..

And even in ABAP , the pre-requisite seems to be installation of ACF,
The exact words

Adobe Reader (>= 7.0) and, if you are creating interactive forms, also the ActiveX Control Framework (ACF) installed on your computer. Also see SAP note 834573.

Adobe Form; Fields missing in form response file & .csv export

I created a form in Adobe Livecycle 8 and everything was working fine. Our company upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and now when I receive a form response via email, some of the data elements to not show up in the 'response file', therefore the data elements cannot be exported into excel. I am using 'compile returned forms' and following the wizard so I don't know what I'm missing. I am at a loss and am under a time crunch to get this fixed. Any help would be appreciated!

SOLVED
No errors when I go on the page for upload.
I solved by restarting the portal.

Adobe Form Fields to database (either Excel or Access)

i have a pdf form created from adobe acrobat XI pro that works perfectly. When submitted, it emails directly to me, which I manually add to a database file stored in Excel.
I'm trying to find a simple way to have the data automatically added to an Excel spreadsheet or Access database, or even manually. So far, I export it to it's own file, then copy/paste into my "database" file in Excel. The hardest part is aligning the fields if one form has a skipped fields,etc.
Is there a better option than this PDF form? I don't want to have to worry about what software others have installed. But basically I just want the form to populate a database of information via email distribution.
The form has about 60+ fields for employees that we are hiring with yes/no fields, dates, text, etc.
Any help is appreciated. I just need a way to manage the information that has so many hands in it!

There are many ways of doing it, from fully automated ones to ones that require manual interaction.
Have you see that there's an option in Acrobat to merge multiple data files into a spreadsheet? You can do that and then import that spreadsheet into your database, either directly (if they have the same columns and structure) or by using a simple macro or script.
This command is available under Tools - Forms - More Form Options.

That's why we have debuggers. I suggest that you start debugging through the application and see what it is going on. I would find it difficult to see how the Form itself calls a BADI (since a BADI is an exit in ABAP coding). I would think that the BADI would be called via a service class of the Web Dynpro or the Web Dynpro is calling a function module to process the form. I would start back with the Web Dynpro and see how it is even initializing the form itself.

Dear Nitin,
The first I am not sure, so hopefully someone else can help you with that.
For the second, If you want a Z-field to be used in the action conditions, you should add an attribute to your BOR-object in SWO1.
How to do this can be found here.
