Adobe Form in HRFORMS: Value of Textfield on Masterpage is not rendered!

Hi all,
I design a new form using HRFORMS. When I put a simple textfield on a master page and give the textfield a default value and render my form using transaction PC00_M01_CALC_SIMU, the value of the textfield is NOT rendered.
I am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 within SAP and the Adobe Acrobat 7.0.9 for rendering PDF documents.
The ADS Server Version is: 800.20070708051308.406522
The funny thing is, if you do the same things in Adobe Designer (stand-alone) it works perfectly as it should.
Is this a known bug?
Thanks.
Maik

I have figured out myself.
It is a bug in SAP and has also been reported as a bug to SAP.
It works fine with all Adobe Designer stand-alone versions as well as Adobe LiveCycle Forms Server 7 and 8.
As a workaround in SAP you should use STATIC TEXT with "FLOATING FIELDS" instead of TEXT FIELDS.

Adobe Form Enumerated Dropdowns values not populated

Hi All,
have a scenario where, I have to fill in a dropdown dynamically when I click a button. I get the values from a function module. I have done this using Isimpletypemodifiablestep. It worked.I have the form too. But when I try to re-implement the same for a new requirement, its working only if I give the values during initialisation .
Why is this inconsistent?
Can we modify Simple types only during initialization? I have tried to add the values to the drop-down in controller and map the attribute to view. Even that didn't work.

Hi,
       Try with this code...
     int iCommodityCode = wdContext.nodeIt_Commodity_Output().size();
     String commText = null;
     String commCode = null;
     IWDAttributeInfo CommodityAttinfo = wdContext.nodeCommodityNode().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("CommodityCode");
     if (CommodityAttinfo != null) {
          IModifiableSimpleValueSet commValSet = CommodityAttinfo.getModifiableSimpleType().getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
          commValSet.clear();
          commValSet.put(" ", "Please select one");
          for (int i = 0; i < iCommodityCode; i++) {
               commCode = String.valueOf(wdContext.nodeIt_Commodity_Output().getIt_Commodity_OutputElementAt(i).getCommodity());
               commText = String.valueOf(wdContext.nodeIt_Commodity_Output().getIt_Commodity_OutputElementAt(i).getComm_Text());
                              commValSet.put(commCode, commText);
          wdContext.currentCommodityNodeElement().setCommodityCode(" ");
You have to execute the RFC in doInit of the View and use this code in the click event of your button.
If it still doesn't work it must be the problem with webdynpro lifecycle methods.... The context is available only after certain lifecycle methods are called.. i.e. wdDoPostProcessing() method of Component Controller. Check if you are trying to access the context before the Component Controller is not initiated completely.
Let me know if you need any further help....

How to use the separate symbol in the textfield in adobe form?..urgent

Hi,experts,
I dont know how to use the separate symbol to make a paragraph separate into several lines correctly in the text field in the adobe form.
Action:
1. config the ADS successfully.
2. create the adobe form with a mult-line textfield(binding the 'remark' context in the interface of the form) using sfp.
3. create a WDA for invoke the form and transfer the 'remark' context data.
I use the following codes to display the paragraph in the PDF document:
CONCATENATE
'1、aaaaaaaaaaa；'
'2、bbbbbbbbb '
'3、ccccccccccc'
'4、ddddddddd'
INTO remark .
lo_nd_z_hr_php_payslip->set_attribute(
EXPORTING
name = `REMARK`
value = remark ).
But I found all the content aren't paragraph separate correctly in the text field in the adobe form when I run the WDA.
Could you please give me some hints to make the paragraph separate correctly in PDF document? Thanks a lot in advance!

With the pen tool in Indesign, is there a way of making the points not join if you want to make a few single lines?

Hi,
If it is just a one word value then you could use this in the exist event;
this.rawValue
= util.printx(">?<*",this.rawValue);
This changes the first character (represented by the ?) to uppercase (represented by the >) and all trailing characters (represented by the *) to lowercase (represented by the <).
If you wanted something more general ... if they could also enter a middle name then you could call a function like;
function toTitleCase(textValue)
return textValue.toLowerCase().replace(/\b[a-z]/g, function replacer(match) { return match.toUpperCase(); });
This uses a regex to change all lowercase letters following a word boundary to uppercase.

In Adobe forms - the space between items more

Hi Experts,
While displaying the ouput through adobe forms , the space between the items is more.
Please suggest me how to reduce the blanklines inbetween the items.
Even I made the subform content as 'FLOWED' and also in context for some fields i added condition if TB_ITEM-TEXT NE space ..
I tried by Events with scripts as,
if ( $.rawValue eq null )
then
$.presence = "hidden";
endif
still space between the items is not reduced. Please help me out from this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Priya.

Hi Ankit and Rajeev,
Thanks for your reply.
As ankit said,
In print program by using read text function module am capturing item texts. If item text exists am setting flag .
with that flag, in adobe form in context am checking condition if flag field not equal to space then it will enter for item text field.
even after this..item texts not exists but in the output spaces are not truncated.
Rajeev,
My requirement is for body page.
My output is like this :

Hiding Pages in ADOBE form using formcalc scripting.

Hi Experts,
I am new to ADOBE form and currently working on invoice print output. (NOT an Interactive adobe form)
My requirement is
i wanted to print one main page and 5 different annexures(anexures are having different layouts so is in diff forms and contained in diff pages)
Deppending on 'Oreder reason' (made as global variable) , i need to select appropriate annexure and print
main page and any one of the annexure.
so i should hide all other annexure, to achive this i used formcalc scripting.
i tried hiding annexure 2 by following code,
data.Annexure2::ready:form - (FormCalc, client)
if ( data.G_F_ORDER_REASON.rawValue == "ANX" )
then $.presence = "hidden"
endif
i have passed value 'ANX' to this , i could see the value of order reason printed on page Annexure2 but it is not executing (getting in to if condition) condition and not hiding the page ...
Experts please help me...
this way i have to hide 4 other annexures...please help me or give me some other option to achive this.
thanks and regards

coding Formcalc is a pain.
But you're doing the right thing by passing in a variable and hiding based on the content of it.
Here's an example of where I'm hiding a subform on a page.
if ( main_sf2.charter_only.CHARTER_DOC.rawValue eq "X" ) then
main_sf2.pts_sf.presence = "visible"
else
main_sf2.pts_sf.presence = "hidden"
endif
Looks like your code is similar - try changing
( data.G_F_ORDER_REASON.rawValue == "ANX" ) to
( data.G_F_ORDER_REASON.rawValue eq "ANX" )
or instead of $.presence = "hidden" fully qualify the name of your page to data.Annexure2.presence = "hidden"

Some questions on Adobe Form

Hi,
I would like to find out if the following requirements are possible:
1) Mass generation of Adobe Form based on a list of personnel number (in SAP HR system). Which means that if I have 20 personnel in my list, then the system will generate 20 Adobe Forms for me with some personal data information populated in the form
2) When I upload the Adobe Form, after the value is populated back into SAP, the Form will be moved into the Attachment List for that personnel.
Appreciate if anyone can share your knowledge on the above mentioned requirements. Thank you.
Rgds,
FS

That is possible of course. You should use the PDFObject API for that requirements.
1. define a xml schema with all data given by SAP system.
2. create a form template which uses this schema as data connection
3. implement a java application (i.e. J2EE application) which:
- gets the data from SAP system and generates some pdf files (using PDFObject API)
- reads pdf files back to xml and submits the data to a BAPI

Refreshing Adobe Form from Webpage

Hi.
Is there a way to refresh adobe form to initial value after canceling or saving data from interactive form and going to back to the form.
I used INVALIDATE( )
and it initialize value from the attribute, but value still displays on adobe form. It might have to do w/ cache, but I am not sure how to get rid of them.
When I actually click on refresh button from IE. It wipes out data, but I don't want users to have to do that.
Thanks for any help you can give.
John

Hi John,
At what event do you want to refresh the data of the form.
After deciding onthis u can manually write a code to blank all the fields on the form..
Hope this helps,
Thanks

To make TEXT field in adobe forms dynamic

Hi Experts,
I have requirement in adobe forms where based on certain condition I want change the TEXT field accordingly.
Example if material number in of gas type than text will be "GAS MATERIAL" and then populating corresponding material number.
If itu2019s of hard goods type than text has be "HARD GOODS MATERIAL".
Please let me how this requirement can be achieved ASAP.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Yes you can definitely make a field dynamic. Bind the text fields with varibale of type Material Number and its description which will have to create in the context (Interface) of the adobe forms. These values you can pass from your driver program or Web-Dynpro.

Availibility of ADOBE forms in IDES

Hey Gurus,
SAP implementation is in progress in my group, mostly all the members are kinda freshers in this project from both the sides, So kindly suggest me how to do practice on ADOBE form as i have been told that ADLC can not be installed in IDES.
I have tried out a lot but couldnt find any solution.
Waiting for the valuable comments.
Regards
VICKY

Hi Vicky,
ADLC(Adobe livecycle designer) is installed on user machine so it can be installed on your desktop to design adobe forms.
But you cannot practice adobe forms in IDES. for that you must have a licensed server.
However you can practice on free miniSAP servers provided online:
like one given below:
http://www.consolut.com/en/s/sap-ides-access/discover-sap-ides.html
I am not sure whether it has ADS configuration done on it or not but you can try.

Intearactive adobe forms for mobiles/Browser

Hi,
I have a requirement to open passowrd protected PDFs(Designed from LiveCycle designer 8.0) in mobiles. After my two days of research on this, I have found that it cannot be opened because they are XFA forms.
1. Do Adobe has a software to open interactive PDFs (XFA format: created from LiveCycle Designer)?
2. Is there any use if I upgrade my LiveCycle designer to ES4 for opening Adobe forms in mobile? (Considering the option that we can open the adobe forms in browser from mobiles)
3. What does HTML5 rendering means exactly?
4. How HTML5 rendering can be done?
Please provide the information regarding the queries mentioned above. I will very grateful if you share your knowledge regarding the same.
Thanking you,
Raghu.

Hi raghur22442249,
I am providing your few helpful links that might answer your queries, please do have a look.
