Adobe Forms Performence Issue

Hi Experts,
We have Adobe Interactive Forms where are using in portals.    2 Days back onwards we have been facing a problem of performence which means when user try to initiate the adobe form, it is taking much time to start and display it.
What might be the issue ? What to do to recover this problem ?  We restarted the portal and even though the problem persists.
Regards,
Jyothi

Hi,
If a lot of scripting is being written in the Form, then the performance goes down and it takes time to load the form. It is not only with the case of the Scripting, take a look at the performance acpects in the following link:

  • 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.

  • SAP and Adobe Form - Scripting Issues

    Hello experts,
    before i start with the the issue, I would like to describe some functions which we have developed in our adobe form (not interactive Form!).
    We are displaying XHTML Text coming from SAP , in order to load the XTHML into the controls we are calling the following line of code during the initialize event:  
    this.value.exData.loadXML(this.rawValue); 
    We are printing a table which contains 3 position types (SAP DATA)
    Product items
    Groups
    Texts/Pictures (XHTML/Binary Data)
            On each new page a header line shall be printed if the type is product item. This codding is placed inside the layout:ready event:
    data.BODY.HIERARCHY.GS_HIER.DATA.ALTERNATIVE_NODE_TYPE.NODETYPE::ready:layout - (JavaScript, both) 
    var vPage = xfa.layout.page(this); 
    Script.setHeaderline(vPage, this.rawValue, this.parent.FLAG_HEADER_LINE.rawValue); 
    data.BODY.HIERARCHY.GS_HIER.HEADER::ready:layout - (JavaScript, both) 
    var vPage =  xfa.layout.page(this); 
    Script.getHeaderline(vPage); 
    if (Script.gHeader == "X") { 
      this.presence = "visible"; 
    else { 
      this.presence = "hidden"; 
    SCRIPT SECTION: --> 
    var gHeader = "Y"; 
    var level_hier = 5; 
    var new_page; 
    var gPage = 1; 
    arrHeader = new Array(); 
    function setPage(in_page) { 
      gPage = in_page; 
    function getPage(out_page) { 
      out_page = gPage; 
      return out_page; 
    function setHeaderline(in_page, in_nodetype, in_flag_header_line) { 
      if (in_page != gPage) { 
           if (in_nodetype == "1" && in_flag_header_line != "X") { 
                arrHeader[in_page] = "X"; 
      else { 
           arrHeader[in_page] = "N"; 
      gPage = in_page; 
    function getHeaderline(in_page) { 
      gHeader = arrHeader[in_page]; 
    The first functionality was working always pretty good. For making the second functionality available we started calling the Adobe Forms using the Parameter DYNAMIC = 'X'. Unfortunaltey the first functionality is then not working anymore correctly. We have tried to change javascript processing to server side/client side and both, but in the mode DYNAMIC = 'X' it does not have any influence, all javascript is performed at the client and at runtime. The result is that some pdf reader can not see the XTHML texts and we are expierencing some other problems with pictures.
    We need to have both functionalities working at the same time for all readers. I guess this is only possible if the javascript is processed at the server side and the ADS returns a finished/static PDF document.
    Does anyone has an idea how to solve this issue ?
    Thanks a lot,
    Wladimir

    Thanks for the info Juergen. I am still awaiting your blog on secured web services , if you get time please post it.
    @Anil: Please close the thread if the issue is resolved.

  • Adobe Form Email Issue

    I have created an Adobe form that has 4 Submit buttons:
    mailto:[email protected]?subject=adobe form
    (each button is different, of course)
    Anyways, when you click on any of the buttons, a box appears to Select Email Client:
    Option 1: Desktop Email Application (Choose this option if you currently use an email application such as Microsoft Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, Eudora, or Mail.)
    Option 2: Internet Email (Choose this option if you currently use an Internet email service such as Yahoo or Microsoft Hotmail. You will then need to save your form and return it manually to [email protected] using your Internet email service.)
    I work for a company who utilizes Microsoft Outlook, so I choose Option 1 and click OK and nothing happens. I have used this type of button and form before and the button worked properly - opened a new message in Outlook with the To field and the subject field prepopulated with the information set during design of the form and the form attached as a PDF.
    Any suggestions on what I could do next or try to correct this issue because I am not the only one having this problem and the whole company I work for uses this form and it needs to be fixed soon!?!?
    Thanks!!!

    This has very little to do with Acrobat and very much to do with how email is activated
    This is discussed OFTEN over on the Dreamweaver forum, where people make an HTML form with an email submit button... and are not happy when anyone who does not use the right kind of email program is not able to use the form... such as any of the "free" email clients like Yahoo
    The usual solution over there (I don't have details, the only user submission form I work with is in a controlled company environment, where everyone MUST use the approved email client) is to set up a server based solution with your own software on the server, so clicking the submit button activates YOUR software, not whatever is on the user's computer

  • Adobe form Spacing issue

    Hi ,
    i m working on adobe forms .
    i have develop a adobe form but i m facing some issue regarding horizontal alignment of space.
    its look like thi in edit mode  :
    data : {dat}                                        signature:
    place : {plc}                                       name: {name}
    institute : {ins}                                   designation: {desig}
    but when i go for print preview :
    data : 19.08.2014                                     signature:
    place : pune                                     name: Udit
    institute : VIT                                                              designation: *** manager
    please reply .
    regards,
    Abhay

    Dear Abhay,
         I guess this alignment issue is due to the Text object.
         Text object works good for static text but for dynamic text Text field object is better one.
         Use Text field object to display the dynamic text instead of Text object.
         Regards

  • Paypal and Adobe form central Issue

    I hooked up my paypal to the adobe form it's working great, but I can't integrate paypal to stay on my site when completing the transaction. I asked paypal tech support, and they told me "the folks at formcentral will know".. Any suggestions?

    >The form is great and works well, but the last step directs you back to paypal for the final billing
    process. To keep that process on the site directly, I had to upgrade my paypal to a merchant service account.
    Once the user clicks Proceed to Checkout, the whole site gets redirected to PayPal to let the user make his payment there, and then when they are done, the browser will get redirected to FormsCentral and we will show the user the confirmation message.  Actually redirecting the whole site to PayPal is recommended by PayPal since the users will have more confident that they are paying in the real PayPal site. If they see the payment is processed in an iframe, some people will suspect if the server behind that iframe is really PayPal, since they cannot see the iframe URL in the browser's URL field.
    I am sorry that so far we haven't done a really good job to redirect the user back to your own web site after the payment is done. I will send a feature request to our Product Manager for this, but before we can have it implemented, what you can do is to edit your forms confirmation message in Options->Confirmation Message to tell the user how to get back to your web site. I understand it looks awkward, and I apologize for that, but we are trying hard to improve our payment experience.
    I hope this asnwers your question. Please let me know if you need more help.
    Thanks,
    Eman

  • Performance issue with Adobe forms

    Dear SAP Experts,
    We have the following issue/requirement from our client. The client is on SAP ECC 6.0 - production environment.
    The client is highlighting  performance issue while accessing the adobe forms for HR and FI business process ( both static and interactive ).
                    Examples are
        FI – Invoice Approvals
                    HR – Job Salary Change
    The client is asking us to provide best practices surrounding:
    1.       How to improve the performance of the adobe forms while accessing in SAP.
    2.       Is there any other technology which we can use in SAP to replace the adobe forms which has better performance factor.
    3.       Are there solutions such as webdynpro floor plan manager, UI Fiori which can be alternately used?
    Regards,
    Sakthi

    Hello Priya,
         Adobe forms are easy to develop and much more comfortable than SAP Scripts and Smartforms. Initially they are a bit difficult but once you have your hands on, they are the most simplest things in ABAP.
    Performance in Adobe forms is a mix of both fine tuning the Layout as well as back end coding.
    Performance in Adobe forms cannot be done overnight. A lot of care has to be taken during the initial stage of development.
    As far as my experience is concerned, please consider the below points while developing SAP Adobe forms.
    1) Avoid Scripting (Javascript/Formcalc) as much as possible inside the form. It drastically reduces the performance and makes the form to execute slower. If you still want to use scripting(which cannot be avoided for some requirements), use Formcalc since it is comparatively faster than JavaScript.
    2) Try to avoid the coding inside the Form Interface. You can always handle the maximum coding in the Driver program and pass it to the form.
    3) Use Form Caching.
    For forms that have fixed layout, its a good way to increase the performance of form rendering. In the layout, go to Form Properties. Then Click on Defaults tab and select Allow Form Rendering To Be Cached On Server. Then Click OK.
    For forms that have flowable or dynamic layout, render the forms on the client side because it improves performance.
    Last but not the least, please go through the below post by Otto Gold which is worth a read at least once.

    We are trying to display the adobe form in the portal using ABAP dynpro. but as i test the application in R/3 it throws the dump in ST22. if i see that dump it says  Uncaught exception in ADS, forms are not interactive, data can be provided on interactive forms only. But if we try the same aplication using Java dynpro it runs successfully.
    What can be the issue, is there any problem with ADS configuration.
    Its urgent. Please provide some inputs.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Issue While printing / Previewing a Adobe form in Web Dynpro ABAP application

    Dear All,
    We have designed 4 different adobe forms using SFP transaction for 4 different countries in SAP system.
    Every country have different terms and conditions and therefore we have placed static texts (Hardcoded text) with text in different styles. Some text is in bold, some in different font (Bold, Italic). Font and Paragraph settings of the text was done as per expected. All the forms have same font and paragraph settings.
    When we Launch Web Dynpro ABAP application to open the form in Print preview or to take print, form is not getting displayed / printed as it is designed in SFP. But if you open the form in SFP, everything looks fine.
    It is working fine for 3 different forms but problem with only 1 form.
    Kindly guide what is the reason for this strange issue when previewed or taken print. It is very urgent.
    Thanks,
    Bharath.K

    Dear All,
    Thanks for your responses.
    We had identified the reason.
    Customer has provided terms and conditions for all 4 countries in PDF document. Along with PDF, for 3 out of 4 countries customer has shared pre-prepared word document with pre aligned and justified terms and conditions as per expected outcome. We copied this text from word to Adobe form layout. It worked fine. For 1 country, customer have not shared terms and conditions in word document. Therefore we had copied text directly from adobe PDF document in to Form layout. Then this issue happened.
    Solution for this issue is to, prepared a word document with expected alignment and justification of terms and conditions text . Then copied from word to adobe livecycle designer form layout. It worked fine.
    Thanks,
    Bharath.

  • Formatting Issues with SO10 text in Adobe forms

  • 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,

    Maybe you can tell us something more about the code you use to print your form. I think thatis the problem. Otto

  • Issue with Adobe Form Layout

    Hi,
    I have an issue with the Adobe Form Layout.Although I have added a field in the Context Menu of the Form Builder but the context has not been added to the Data View.
    Could you please help me to understand how to include the parameters and structures that we define in the context and add them to the Data View in layout?As far as I know, it is done automatically.But in this case I don't understand what the problem is.
    Please help me.
    Thanks,
    Sandeep.
    <MOVED BY MODERATOR TO THE CORRECT FORUM>
    Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Jul 14, 2009 4:10 PM

    it is normally done automatically. Do ANY of your fields show in your DATA VIEW? Or, are you just missing the new one?
    If you're only missing the new one, make sure your Context has the field defined correctly and generated.. Then make sure you have updated the mapping in your View Context and generated that.
    After those 2 things, your field should now show.
    You cannot, as far as I know, define an attribute as any sort of TABLE - we have a common structure that has several Table Types in it. When we import that structure, we have to delete those attributes and create Nodes to mimick those tables.
    If you've accidentally included a Table type as an attribute, you won't see any fields in your Data View.
    EDIT: by the way, there's an Adobe Interactive Forms Forum where you should ask these kinds of questions.
