Adobe Form urgent questions!

Okay, I've just created a form using Adobe Designer, one that contains fields that someone can fill out when the form is open with Adobe Reader. The form I've created specifically is for a medical practice, and the first few fields are the doctor's last name, first name, and middle initial. Is there any way that, when I click Save As, a file name is automatically created in the Save As box that contains the last name, first name, and middle initial? I'd like the file name to look like this: LastName-FirstNameMiddleInitial.
Also, this is a form that the people who work at this practice will be using regularly. After the doctor's name fields are a few fields for the date, time in, and time out. Right now, we'd like the date to look like this: 07-16-2008. We'd also like the time in and time out to look like this: 12:00. I'd like it so that, if some data entry person at this medical clinic is tying in the date, and, say, they type in the date as 07/16/2008, it is automatically formatted to 07-16-2008 with the hyphens. Same with the time. Everyone types things in differently, and I'd love to know what I need to do so that it's automatically converted to the date/time design I listed above.
Help!

Mike, in response to your questions:
The purpose of the signature field is mainly to expand on the services we offer in terms of going paperless. We want to help our clients STAY paperless, which means preventing the need to print off more paper. This form I'm working on is for a medical practice and is simply a doctor's form, with field for the doctor's name, date/time, a field for any info the doctor would like to input, and then the electronic signature field.
After the PDF is created, it is more than likely saved, which presents other problems, as I've now learned you can't save with Adobe Reader.
As far as looking up data on the form in the future is concerned, I'm pretty sure that's a big yes. I don't know that this particular PDF would be updated constantly, but I'm sure it will need to be retrieved at some point. How can the data be inputed so it can be retrieved from a database?
Geo, how exactly do I go about providing JavaScript? I know how to create a button in Designer, but I've had little experience with JavaScript. I've downloaded a program (PF Merge?) that might allow me to link the form I've created to a database, but I'm not sure how it works yet. :-) Is that what you were referring to as far as our comments about an SQL database is concerned? Is there another way I can create a connection to a database, say, a slightly easier way? :-)
Thanks!

Sales order confirmation form in Adobe Forms-Urgent

Hi Experts,
I have to create an adobe form for Sales order Confirmation.
I have worked on ABAP but no idea about Adobe forms. I am new for this.
Could you please tell me what are are the things required to delelop an adobe forms
What are the steps i have to follow to create an adobe form.

Thanks again Vinod for this input. I've already had a look into the form where nothing named as 'TITLE' appear. And frankly I'm not very strong in identifying the print program for a given form. I try with debug but taking into account my poor skills in ABAP I'm lost with all those function module. And the print program that I could get from [NACE] includes so many things that I'm still not able to find out the OPEN_FORM statement. But I keep on trying.

Adobe form distribution question

Form created in LiveCycle and distributed with Adobe Pro...3 choices for distribution.
1) Through Acrobat.com (which stores the responses on Adobe servers)
2) By email (This is not an option for me because these forms can not invoke an email client on submission from the user. --> group policy locked-down machines.)
3) To an internal server
Option 3 works great for me as long as the person submitting the form is on my LAN. The problem is that we have users not on the LAN submitting the form. My repository for the responses needs to be accessible from the internet.
What I tired:
Shared folder on server. Full permissions for "everyone" just to avoid that as a problem during configuration....
Folder web shared by IIS.
Trying to use the distribution wizard to set this up for that folder. It wants a UNC path but that will not work for external users and no matter what http path I put in there is tells me it is unable to create the shared folder....
Obviously, if the forms can distribute and submit to Acrobat.com then they can submit to my own server. The question is how can I do this? Very frustrating.

Please repost to either the LiveCycle Designer forum or the acrobat.com forum.

ADOBE FORM(urgent)

I have to print a check:
The check will be split into two sections: the actual check and the remittance section.
The remittance section must contain the details of all invoices paid with that specific check.
When the payment includes remittances that continue for multiple pages the check must print on the first page only.
When the payment includes remittances that continue for multiple pages, the literal VOID must print in the space where the check would print, beginning with the second page of the remittance. See Example in attached check layouts.
Plz let me know whether i require 2 master pages (1 for check and 1 for void) or it can be done with 1 master page only?

Hi,
Only one master page is enough.

Update SAP from Adobe forms

Hi all,
I use BAPI with web service to update several line items (e.g. of a PO) from a table in Adobe forms to SAP. I expect that all the occurrences of the line items to be transferred to the func mod. via the defined table interface, but only the last line got transferred and the others seem to be overwritten. I have tried adobe fixed and dynamic tables but that did not change the outcome (In another application, I'm able to display all line items from func. mod. to Adobe form). Question : What do I need to do to have ALL the line items transferred from Adobe form to the func. mod. ?
Components used : Designer 7, SAP ECC 6 level 9 .
Please, provide help with concrete and proven information only.
Best regards,
Nancy

Hi Vaibhav,
Thanks for the reply. I use table and not structure but somehow all the records did not get transferred. So far i've been able to get the data to and from SAP without web dynpro and hope to be able to get this scenario to work as well.
Regards,
Nancy

Adobe Forms - Code Initialization question in ABAP

Hi All,
How do you access an adobe form parameter in the code Initialization section that is passed in the adobe form function call.
I need to retrieve one of the parameters to modify one of my Global Definitions.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Maybe I need to refine my question a bit since it has not been answered.
When the following is called. Can I refer to the parameter CUSTOMER in the 'Code Initialization' section of the form interface? Are these parameters global in scope?
Thank you,
CALL FUNCTION FM_NAME
    EXPORTING
      /1BCDWB/DOCPARAMS        = FP_DOCPARAMS
      CUSTOMER                 = CUSTOMER

      CONNECTIONS              = CONNECTIONS

Basic questions in adobe form

Hello Experts,
i have a few questions in adobe forms
when we first create a form, in the left side of the screen, we have a hierarchy i.e
*MASTER PAGE
CONTENT AREA
UNTITLED FORM PAGE
can you pls explain the concepts of the above... can we have more than 2 master pages in a single page? whats this content area? can we have more than one?
Suppose if i want to build a form with the following elements :
Header part : which should be displayed in all the pages
Body part: which should display internal table which should flow to the next page
immediately after the display of the internal table, i should display some other text
Footer part: should be displayed in all the pages
Now my question is, if i want to build this form, which elements should be a part of what i.e master page or content area or untitled form page?
Thanks in advance
Shekhar

Hi,
MASTER PAGE:
Master pages specify the layout and background for the form design. You can add objects that will occupy the position throughout the form design on a master page. The Master Pages tab is hidden by default. A typical form design that has two pages with different dimensions contains at least two master pages, one for each page.
CONTENT AREA:
Content areas provide anchoring and layout management for all the objects in a form, including subforms.
UNTITLED FORM PAGE:
Pages represent the pages of a form. Each page derives its size and orientation from a master page and, by default, each page is associated with the default master page that LiveCycle Designer creates. Each page is created with a default subform that covers the whole page. If your form design contains more than one master page and page, you can choose which master page to assign to a page.
can we have more than 2 master pages in a single page
yes
whats this content area?
Already described above
can we have more than one?
Yes
For the form designing, put the header and footer part in the Master page as it has to appear in every page. For the table display wrap the table in subform and make the contect type as "Flowed". This will make the table to grow to other pages.

Runal

Question regarding HR MSS requisition adobe form?

In MSS a manger has the option of creating the requisition in SAP E-Recruiting using interactive Adobe form. One of the field is a button where the user can select a position to be used in the requisition. Once that button is clicked it opens a WebDynpro application where the user can select a position.
My question is, in which class and method the call is been made to that WebDypro application. I also want the name of that WebDynpro application. The reason for asking is that i am i am modifying this adobe form to add some functionality and one of the requirement is to add a button where the user can click on that button to select a positiongroup.
I have done alot of debugging with out finding where the call is made to WD application.
I will appreciate any help.

Interactive Forms based on Adobe software is SAP's new solution for forms development. Its first release has the focus on interactive use of forms. High-volume printing is supported in principle, but - being a new solution - the performance has not yet reached the same level as Smart Forms or SAPscript, two established solutions that had years to grow. Interactive Forms is the only solution that will continue to be enhanced with new features, while SAPscript and Smart Forms will be supported without limitations.
When (or if) to move to Interactive Forms depends on your requirements. For interactive forms usage, i.e. the new functions, you have no choice, as the existing solutions don't support it. High-volume print scenarios need to be carefully analyzed to see whether your concrete requirements can be met at this point.
However, it is possible to move to Smart Forms and design your forms in such a way that a migration at any point in the future would be but a small step. Smart Forms offers from Web AS 6.40 a migration wizard to Interactive Forms. Technically, everything can be migrated, but we recommend against things like ABAP program nodes, for example.
You are not forced to ever go to Interactive Forms if you don't want to. It really depends on whether your client needs any of the new features in Interactive Forms. Also, if they are currently working with JetForms, they could enquire with Adobe directly what migration path they offer to the joint solution.

To get an overview idea about Adobe forms ,
Using SFP Tcode , first you need to create a interface . in interface you can declare the import and export parameters and also the declaration part, coding etc : This is nothing but similar to Function module interface.
And now we have to create the Form which is interactive. Create the form and enter the interface name which you have created in first step, so that the parameters , declarations of fields etc : will be copied and available in the form layout. So that you can drag and drop these declared fields ( dclared fields of interface ) to the layout.
Create the context and layout in the form.
The layout generated can be previewed and saved as PDF output.
Now we need to integrate the driver program and the PDF form to get the final output as per the requirement.
On activating and executing the form you will get a function module name just similar to smartforms.
The driver program needs to call this FM.
Refer to the below sample code :
DATA : is_customer TYPE scustom.
DATA : it_bookings TYPE ty_bookings.
DATA : iv_image_url TYPE string.
DATA : iv_sending_country TYPE adrc-country.
DATA : it_sums TYPE TABLE OF flprice_t.

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.

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(

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!

lo_nd_z_php_form_pay = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_z_php_form_pay ).
g_context is the context interface of the adobe form.
navigate from <Z_PHP_FORM_PAY> to <G_CONTAIN> via lead selection
lo_nd_g_context = lo_nd_z_php_form_pay->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_g_context ).
binding the g_context to the form context.
lo_nd_g_context->bind_table( result_payslip ).
through the debug the program, I found 50 records in the result_payslip internal * * table .
5. run the wda, I find the nothing data to be displayed in the adobe form.
6. But I can transfer a string parameter from wda to adobe form. I don't know how to transfer data in the table?
I don't know how to config the table in the adobe form?
I hope to get the guide for step by step to solve the problem. Thanks a lot .
