It turns out that barcodes (128 Coding) do not support accentuated characters.

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 Interactive Forms ZCI with special characters

Hi,
I hope somebody can help me with the problem described below.
We are using Adobe Interactive Forms ZCI (IF). On our IF we placed a Enumerated DDL from the Webdynpro Native tab. In the Visual Admin the number of entries for the DDL is 50 (default). The problem is that when the DDL consists of more than 50 entries a webdynpro pop-up screen is shown. In our DDL we have entries with special characters for example the apostrophe (ie. s). When I select one of these entries its not displayed correctly in the form. It is displayed as 's.
We are using Adobe reader 7.08. I also tested it with reader 8.1.0 and there the problem still occurs.
We are using NW04s SP12.
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Maarten.

Hello Saujanya,
This is not what i meant.
The problem isn't that not all entries are listed in the EVS, but that when the EVS is displayed and i select an entry with a "special" character like i.e.. a apostrophe (') the selected value isn't correctly displayed in the DDL as selected item. Say the i select from the EVS the value " 's " when the EVS is gone the value in the DDL is 's. This is not correct.
Hope this explanation will help.
Kind regards,
Maarten.

SAP Adobe Print forms - Issue with Chinese characters

Hi All,
We are using SAP Adobe Print forms to create a business document. This is designed using Adobe Life Cycle Designer (ALD). The form is displayed in Chinese language. The requirement is to display captions for few fields in bold.
When designing the form we have put the caption as BOLD but when the actual form is generated only few characters are displayed in bold.
I am not sure if this is problem with Adobe Reader or should there be any specific fonts to be installed in the ADS server?
Please let me know which all font packs needs to be installed in the local machine?

Hi Pat,
Thank you again for your reply.
Now, I changed the font in the designer to "Adobe Song Std L" and made the text as "BOLD". Then I get a message
The following is the Designer screen shot.
Questions:
1. Does "Adobe Song Std L" support characters in BOLD?
2. Do I need to install any of those BOLD fonts? If so, where can I get them?
3. I understand that the BOLD font needs to be installed in the local machine (where the design actually happens so that the font can be specified), the ADS Server (where the actual PDF is rendered) and also in the viewers local machine (where the PDF document is viewed). Is this correct?
4. Is the font a freeware or will there be any licensing issues?
Again, thank you for your responses till now.

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 Forms Barcode Issue

Hi All,
I have an issue with barcode in my adobe form ( ASN Delivery Note - SNC ) When printing line items ( in table loop), I want to print barcode for the Product ID and Qty Field below the actual field value.
So I have modified the form and added the two barcodes and given the same binding as the two fields. The barcode does appear on the form, however when I scan the barcode its printing the default value which is incorrect, especially I have given the same binding value.
I am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.1 The fields are in a subform and is positioned.
I have also used the same barcode top of the form (static data) and that is printing the correct value, when scanned.
Any help would be appreciated.

As per my experience, a variable can be binded to only one screen element. If you bind the same variable to multiple screen elements it will not give corect value.
When I faced this problem, I took a temp. variable and copied the original value to that temp. variable and binded the temp. variable to other screen element.

Adobe form barcode scanner input

I made an Adobe form with X Pro. The purpose of the form is to inventory equipment. I use a barcode scanner to enter serial numbers into the form. When I scan the barcode (Code 39) of an item the serial number entered into the form is truncated. To ensure that the scanner was reading the barcode correctly I scanned a code while having notepad open, it input the entire serial number correctly. I did the same thing with Word and the serial was also input correctly. Why is the form truncating my serial number? I can type more in the field if I so wish so I know that a character limit is not the issue. I checked all of the text box's properties but see nothing incorrect or limiting.
Thanks for the help,
Goob

Sorry for never replying to your post. The problem is: I do not know why this is happening.
Your last sentence "on the Text Area the scan seems to stop before entering all digits but when I scroll back through, they are accurate" makes me think. As I wrote earlier, "A barcode scanner is basically just an input device like a keyboard", but very much faster. Somehow it seems that the software acts like it is encountering the carriage return before all the data digits have been processed.
But somehow it also seems to correct itself in a text area that allows multiple lines, but not in a single-line text field.
Yet that does not happen with my barcode scanner, but with yours and the o/p's.
Very confusing! Does anybody else have some thoughts on this?

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

EPMA dimension import issue with spanish characters

We are using special characters for spanish words, like the word Español.
When this was imported into EPMA using the Import Profile and importing a flat file, EPMA added the alias member as espan then showed a square box and then the l. Then, when deploying the app, no errors recorded in EPMA but planning showed errors since SQL query could not deal with this strange character (the square box symbol) in its query. When I manually change the member in the dimension library to Español, then the app deploys. So my relational database clearly accepts the characters.
So, the problem is in the Import of the text file when it has the special character ñ or other spanish characters with the accent marks or tildes. Is there something I need to do when importing a file with this character or other spanish language special characters?
Thanks

Problem with spanish characters

Hello
I am using an existing and proven app written in visual foxpro with a recently installed Oracle11g database (have done this before without problems)
I am using Microsoft ODBC for Oracle and have no possibility of changing this. (always used this without problems)
If I insert a string in in a fixed length char field of the same length of the string (say char(30)) IF THE STRING DOES NOT HAVE SPECIAL CHARACTERS, everything goes as usual. However, if the string contains some spanish language chars (ó, é, á, ñ) the insert fails indicating that the string is too long. I suspect "somewhere" this characters are encoded in double-byte instead of single-byte.
My question is, which is the Oracle setting that allows/prevents this? I need special characters encoded in 1 byte. Language is Spanish.
Some settings that the Oracle DBA passed to me are
NLS_CHARACTERSET = AL32UTF8
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET= AL16UTF16
Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

In the database character set AL23UTF8 (NLS_CHARACTERSET=AL23UTF8), accented Spanish characters occupy 2 bytes each. This cannot be changed.
Two possible solutions:
-- recreate the database using the character set WE8MSWIN1252
-- redefine the column from CHAR(30), which usually by default means CHAR(30 BYTE), to CHAR(30 CHAR). This means no more than 30 characters but up to 120 bytes (in AL32UTF8).
If you run your application with NLS_LANG=.WE8MSWIN1252 and you do not use byte-oriented SQL functions such as SUBSTRB, INSTRB, or LENGTHB, you will most probably see no functional difference between single-byte storage and multibyte storage of Spanish characters. On the client side, these characters will be single-byte.

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
