Adobe Forms - Page Count

Hi All,
I am facing a problem with one issue in Adobe Forms.
We need to have two sets of data in the same spool. Like one set of data on one body page and other set of data on other body page. So, if there are total 5 pages of 2 sets, they should print like 1of3, 2of3, 3of3 and 1of2, 2of2.
Please Help !
Thanks in Advance.

Hello Sahitya,
If you know in advance two sets of data can be identified then you can trigger smartform twice for each data set and have added spool. In this case you need not to do any change in ur form design.
Pls ref below link for further details of spool addition-

How can we print the page numbers for TABLE OF CONTENTS form When its excluded from the form page count ?

Hi Experts,
We have TABLE OF CONTENTS followed by 100 forms with totally 215 pages.
We have checked in the Exclude from form page count option for TABLE OF CONTENTS form in Group level.
The forms followed by TABLE OF CONTENTS form all are using FORMSETPAGENUM rule in footer.
the very first form followed by TABLE OF CONTENTS form the page number starts at 1 of 215 and the last form ends at 215 of 215.
Now i want to print the Page number for TABLE OF CONTENTS form alone.
How can we do that ? Any thoughts ?
Regards,
RAMAN C

Hi Raman,
I guess, you have included 'Exclude Page Count' option in Table Of Content (TOC) form.
There is a limitation in studio. The page number functions (FORM PAGE NUM OF/ FORMSET PAGE NUM OF) will be ineffective when we select the 'Exclude Page Count' option in TOC form. Hence, you was not able to print the Form Page Count in TOC form.
The only way to print page count is to deselect 'Exclude Page Count' option. Then you can normally print the TOC Page Count in TOC form. However, thiS TOC page count will add to the Total formset Page Count. The Formset Page Count can be controlled through Postransdal using the script [FORMSET PAGE NUM = TotalPages() - 1]

Adobe form page per work table record

I have read detail records into a table and I want one page per record in that table. Other tables are to be subset of that record but all data to be written on each page relates to one record in the table. How do I set the hierarchy so each record in the top table makes a new page.
Easy to do in Smartforms but I want to use SFP as it is much more detailed when designing form.
I have laid out the Master Page and I want each record to fit into Content area.
Also the Master Page was uploaded directly from pdf created from users desgn in EXCEL which worked nicely.
Do any of the example (FP_TEST*) Adobe forms work easily as an example?

Solution: Define subform for the page.
subform tab > Content: flowed, Direction: Top to Bottom
Pagination    > Place; In Content Area If Dataset must be Paginated Overflow: Go To Content Area Overflow Leader *1st sub-subform
Binding        > Default Binding (the table with [*])
                         check Repeat Subform for each Data Item
                         check Min Count 1
This made each record in table a new page. In my case I was writing a cycle count record (LINV) with additional statistical and historical data.

Adobe Forms - Page Break via a Conditional Break

Having read through the forum I am getting the impression that Page Breaks is a bit of a problem.
I can enforce a page break between datasets by setting "After:" to "Goto Next Page", on the Object->Pagination tab, however this results in a blank page at the end of the entire output which is just the Master Page with all the static elements.
The 'Conditional Breaks' sounds like the logical point to force a page break based on a combination of inequality or if a particular data element equals a known value.
However, I don't seem to be able to get the 'Conditional Break' to work.
So, the question I would like to ask, is how can you tell if the conditional break logic is correct and whether or not it is running? For example on an ABAP system is it possible to run it and debug it?
My attempts at getting the break to open a pop up or write to disk via JavaScript fails, which is leading me to think they are being ignored by the Adobe Form at both the server and client level.
Is it possible that I have missed another setting somewhere else in the Adobe form configuration?

Hello Jason!
You are right that conditions (and all scripting) are bit tricky in this solution. Still they work.
Debugging of AIF at ABAP side is not possible due to the architecture of the solution - from the ABAP POV it is just a web-service call and receiving result (PDF) back. You can't stop it on midpoint or intercept it somehow.
At the same time there are other ways to check it.
First, you can enable trace and saving additional info in SFP transaction under Utilities -> Settings.
Details see [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/f7/a04aee0cb94978a011401311efe603/frameset.htm]
And the nice way to check if your condition block is taken into the account is simple check like 1 = 2.
If this works and you receive page break than all you need is find errors in your condition syntax, otherwise the problem is somewhere else.

ADOBE form - page reset for the second SO

Hi all,
Iam working on sales order form ( ADOBE Form). Nneed to display SO header and item details.But it is not for a single SO and it is for multiple SOs.First i need to display one sales order and its items after completing the all items of the first SO , the second SO details should come in the next page. This is fine, i have done this, but for the second SO the page numbers should start from 1. That means the page no has to be reset for each SO change.Suppose assume that, if the first SO is taking 2 pages for printing item details and second SO is taking 3 pages for printing item details then the page nos should follows the below sequence:
First SO : 1 of 2
                2 of 2
second SO : 1 of 3
                    2 of 3
                    3 of 3.
but it is printing as 1 of 5, 2 of 5 ..... like this. Because we are using the system field for this.Can we reset the page numbers according to the condition?

Vineel.

Hi,
One addition to the previous answer. You need to set the Output device in the program itself and the nodialog field of the outputparams should be set to 'X'. For example you can go through the below code.
DATA:
w_formname TYPE fpname,
w_function TYPE funcname.
DATA : docparams TYPE sfpdocparams.
DATA : formoutput TYPE fpformoutput.
DATA : outputparams TYPE sfpoutputparams.

        vbeln TYPE vbak-vbeln,

      t_orders LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF fs_orders.

Print Adobe form pages on different printers based on the condition

Hi All,
I am new in Adobe forms. We have requirement to print first 5 line items in adobe form (which are printing on first page) on one printer and remaining pages on another printer.
What solution I was thinking was, in print program call the adobe form twice with flag as a importing parameter. For the first call the flag value will be set and for second run a blank value will be passed in flag.
If flag is set then call make the first page "visible" and if flag is cleared then "hide" the first page and make the remaining pages "visible".
But as its an item data which is designed on "Design" view I am not able to write a script to hide the page. Any suggestion you can give to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Mihika.

If it is OK to have the default printer defined/maintained in the user master (like tcode Su01 or System > User profile > Own data, Then the standard logic may suit your needs. I think you will need to undo some config for the whs. Te standard logic works as detailed below. the system needs to get to #4 below, then the SAP userid printer will be selected.
the system proceeds with automatic printer determination as described below Config Tcode is OMLV.
1) First the system checks whether a printer is set in the configuration "Printer-Movement". If so, the printer determination is complete at this point.
2) If not, the system uses the parameter "PriSrcTyp" defined in the configuration "Printer-Movement" to decide how it will proceed. If the parameter is set here, the system checks if a printer is defined in the setting "Printer Picking Area" and then proposes this printer.
3) If the system finds no printer, it searches in the setting "Printer - Storage Type" and uses this, if a printer is set.
4) If the system cannot find a printer using the methods described above it selects the printer defined in the user master of the user currently logged on.
5) If no printer is defined here, the system automatically proposes LP01
This writes the data to the spool file.

Arabic SubTotals in Adobe Form Page.

Hi Everyone,
I have a requirement of printing Subtotals of a table in Arabic as well as English on the same page for all pages in the form.
FYI i have made a function module to convert english digits into arabic, which i use in my code to convert english amounts to arabic amounts.
Like -
CALL FUNCTION 'ZJP_M_ARABIC_NUMERALS'
EXPORTING ENGLISH = V_AMOUNT
IMPORTING ARABIC = V_AMOUNT_AR.
This gives me the arabic amount.
Now i am printing english subtotals using the javascript code :
var fields = xfa.layout.pageContent(xfa.layout.page(this)-1, "field", 0);
var total = 0;
for (var i=0; i <= fields.length-1; i++) {
if (fields.item(i).name == "AMOUNT") {
total = total + fields.item(i).rawValue;
this.rawValue = total;
Through this code i am able to get the english subtotal in my offline adobe form.
My PROBLEM is - how do i use this english subtotal generated via javascript to convert it into arabic subtotal (using the FM)
for each page.
Any help is highly appreciated..!!
Thanks,
Piyush.

Hi Piyush,
Check this below link set locales for a field using java script this might help if you are looking for @ scripting
/people/raghavendra.prabhu/blog/2010/12/17/currencynumber-formatting-in-hcm-forms
I have 2 approaches (hopefully both of them will work).
1) Have a hidden field with arabic locale, in your loop keep adding values to this field.
2) have the required field on the form set the locale to arabic, just assign the english value to this field. (if both english and arabic totals are from same records and same values mathematically then only the presentation locale is different but the value sud be the same right).
If I am wrong understanding your requirement, please explain what is the difference ...?
Cheers,
Sai

ADOBE form page hiding using formcal 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...

Adobe Forms page break inside a table

Hi,
I have a 50 columns table and I need to print the first 25 columns on a page and the next 25 columns on the following page. Beside this if the number of lines in the table is big enough to flow on a new page I would like to print them like that:
First n lines (where n is the maximum of lines that can enter in one page)
Page 1
Coumn1 ........ Column25
Page 2
Column26..... Column50
Next n lines
Page 3
Coumn1 ........ Column25
Page 4
Column26..... Column50
and so on, until the lines in the table are all printed.
Thank you very much!

Hello Ana,
You can only add a maximum of 20 columns and 50 rows in a single page, the solution would be to conditionally divide the main table as 20xN, 20xN, and 10xN. And regarding the flow on a new page:
1. If you use the subform for line items, then make the subform type 'Flowed'.
2. If you use only table in body page then check for Allow page-breaks within content.

Current page printing problem - while repeating pages : Adobe forms

Hi Experts,
I have a problem in printing current page number of an adobe form.
My requirement is that , my form got 2 pages. On first page i am not printing page numbers and excluded from numbering.
Numbering starts from second page. The second page needs to be repeated twice.
In this case my page printing should look like :
First page - no page number
second page - 1 of 1
Third page - 1of 1 (as it is a copy)
IF second page extends to multiple pages (eg.. 2)
First page - No Page no
First instance of second page - 1of 2 , 2 of 2
Second instance of second page - 1 of 2 , 2 of 2 . Presently it is printing like : 3 of 2 , 4 of 2. I need to initialize current page count. I could able to set the total page count 2 via variable from print program. But while printing the second instance, I am not able to initialize the current page count.
I have seen the following thread which exactly talks about my problem but with out any solution.
Re: Adobe Forms - Page Count

Hi,
I am not sure how your page design looks like.
Assumption:
During runtime, ONLY 1 page for Page1, multiple pages for Page2 and Page3, same number of pages for Page2 and Page3.
This is what i did:-
I have 3 pages:
Page1: With NO page number: ONLY 1 page
Page2: With page number: Multiple page
Drag the "Insert -> Custom -> Page n of m"
- TextField: "CurrentPage",
-- replace the original script: "this.rawValue = xfa.layout.page(this)" with "this.rawValue = xfa.layout.page(this) - 1"
- TextField: "PageCount",
-- replace the original script: "this.rawValue = xfa.layout.pageCount()" with "this.rawValue = ( xfa.layout.pageCount() - 1 ) / 2"
Page3: With page number: Multiple page
Drag the "Insert -> Custom -> Page n of m"
- TextField: "CurrentPage",
-- replace the original script: "this.rawValue = xfa.layout.page(this)" with "this.rawValue = xfa.layout.page(this) - 1 - ( xfa.layout.pageCount() - 1 ) / 2"
- TextField: "PageCount",
-- replace the original script: "this.rawValue = xfa.layout.pageCount()" with "this.rawValue = ( xfa.layout.pageCount() - 1 ) / 2"
Good luck.

Page count dynamically in adobe forms

Hi,
There is one requirement where they need to print number of pages based on data flow in internal table. to understand better the requirement here is one example as below:
for ex; there is one internal table in one page which has 1000 records, the internal table is designed on body page (Design view), on the same page there is one footer which say the current page number based on internal table data. say for ex: the internal table filled with 100 records in the first [page then it should print page count 1 then the remaining 900 records it fills the second page then it should print on the footer page count 2. similarly for last page it should print page count 10.
Note: 1 there is other master pages also but the counting of pages should be for dynamic data in the internal table.
Note: 2 the actually counting should start with value 2 initialization . means first page count should be 2, 3, 4, ... 11.
solution: do we need to write some code in the script. If yes please provide the code or is there any way to set the page count for that variable from that point onward with +1 page.
Please advise. Your answer will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
Could you please explain me where I need to write this piece of code in script editor on design view or in master page. I had already written a code on for that variable on master page layout:ready
data.#pageSet[0].NEG_PROD_FLOW.LINES.Subform6.PAGES_TEXT.GV_PAGE_COUNT2::ready:layout - (FormCalc, client)
form.NEG_PROD_FLOW.LINES.PAGES_TEXT
this.rawValue = xfa.layout.page(this);
this.rawValue = (xfa.layout.pageCount() - xfa.layout.pageSpan(form.NEG_PROD_FLOW.LINES.PAGES_TEXT));
but i need to start page count initialization with value 2. the first page should display 2
is that possible to do that.
please advise.
Thanks,

How to print page numbers in adobe form

Hi,
Can anybody tell me how to print page numbers in adobe form.
Thanks in advance
Chaitanya

Hi,
Yes the field page n of m is used normally for printing page numbers. But it won't display the current page of total pages by itself. You have to set the run time property to n (current page ) and m (Total number of pages). Carefully select the # (current page ) and ## (Total number of pages). Hope this works for you.
My requirement is to have the user control on current page. For Example:
Example for a Invoice with 5 PO items (stands on 2 pages) :
1st page is the letter : no page number
2nd page is the 1st page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
3rd page is the 2nd page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
4th page is the 1st page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
5th page is the 2nd page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
Presently i cam getting the current page number for page 4th as 3 / 2 and for 5th page 4 / 2. I could able to control the total number of pages from print program. But when i am printing the second copy (4th and 5th pages), I couldn't able to control the current page number. I need to initialize the Current page count (4th page ) as 1.
I have used the follwing java scripting:
this.rawValue = wv_pages - xfa.layout.page(this)
where wv_pages is total no of pages calculated from print program.
Please help me in this regard with some formcal or java scripting conditions.
Thank You,

Naresh.

How to avoid printing a balnk page at the end in the Adobe form output

Hello Experts,
Can anyone please let me know as how to avoid/delete the blank page at the end of adobe form output.
I have a master page with header n footer and a body page seperate.
For ex.. I have 3 line items and i want each line item to be displayed in the new page. I am able to get this functionality . I have set the settings in the paginationb tab of the subform as
"after " Go to Next content Area" " but an extra page is getting printed at the end. 3 + 1 extra pages total. I want to avoid this blank page. I have checked the Allow page break with in content box but it is still not working.
Can someone guide me as how to solve this problem.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mahesh

hey mahesh,
this normally happens because of triggering a new page manually, what u would have done is that you would be checking for the new line item and when this condition is satisfied , you are triggering a new page , the reason for the last blank page is that the condition gets satisfied ( beacuse the line item number changes from the last line item no to initial or space).
This can be handled by doing the following
By knowing the number of line items by the following stmt.
describe table itab lines v_lines.
Now you have the value in v_lines.
use a counter in ur form and keep it increasing it by 1 ( say v_sno ) ie v_sno = v_sno + 1 in the loop of ur internal table.
ONLY WHEN V_LINES IS LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO V_SNO , TRIGGER THE NEW PAGE
this should be along with the condition which u have already put, ie when ever line item no changes
when both these conditions are satisfied , then only the new page will be triggered.
Hope it helps,
Reward if useful,

KP.

ADOBE FORM: Start new page at subform

Hello,
in the interface of my adobe form i have a table.
I created a subform with binding to the table row.
This works so far.
But i want now that for each table row (= subform) a new page is started at the PDF.
How could this be realised?
Thank you
Kind regards
Manfred

These can be done via options in Pagination tab for the "Body Row" of table.
I just tried a sample as follows and it kind of worked.
form1
|-- Subform // Object palette --> Subform tab --> Make its Content property to Flowed.
|---- Table1
|---- Row 1
// Object Palette --> Type is Body Row
// Object Palette --> Pagination --> After : Go To Next Page
// Object Palette --> Binding --> Selected Repeat Row for each Data Item and made its min count as 5
Only thing is that I am getting a blank page at end but then may be this can point you in some direction and you will solve that for us
