Can I complete an Adobe form without interactive fields in Workspaces? If so, how?

Unfortunately, there is no way to do this within Workspaces.

Saving forms with interactive fields.

I am using Adobe Reader XI. I am filling out a form with interactive fields and the purple bar at the top which states "data typed into this form can be saved". However, when I save the form and then reopen it, the form is blank. Is there anything I can do to save the completed form?

Worked for me (Yahoooo! Have been asking for this for over a decade)
Opened .pdf with form field in reader X1
Type in a few numbers into form field
Did a save as, save was greyed out.
Closed file, reopened in reader X1
Closed file, reopened in Acrobat Pro X, flashed without form field or purple bar, then 3 seconds later falshed again and purple bar and form contents appeared, seems to have to think about whether to show or not

Adobe Form - non-Interactive Pdf Print - Access to table cell

Hi experts
I am new to Adobe Print Form (non-interactive flowed form) and I am desparately need your help.
I am merging table data from a context into a table on a form layout and then use function call to generate a print form and send it out as an email. Sofar, everything works fine - except one of the requirement that if , on any row, a cell value in column 1 > 5 (i.e. example), set the font color to red.
I tried all sort of ways (in JavaScript) - but cannot get hold of the cell to check the value. Please show me
1) how to get to the cell in Javascript
2) in What event that I must place the Javascript in
At the moment, I have the form layout as followed:
Data
| Report
| | Table1
| | | Header
| | | | ...........H_Fd1
| | | | ...........H_Fd2
| | | Row
| | | | ...........R_Fd1
| | | | ...........R_Fd2
etc...
There are no reference to "table" object in Adobe lc designer - If you have please also send me some
Thanks
Points will be rewarded for any reply.

Hi
JS to fetch a the value of a field in a table is
xfa.resolveNode("form_name.subform_name.table_name.Row1["Row Index"].column_name[0]").rawValue;
You can write the code in the exit or validate event of the second column
Thanks

Adobe forms, non-interactive (HR)

Hi,
I'm trying to get in touch with SAP web applications (webdynpro, adobe form, bsp...).
I have the following requirement:
I have to provide a page within the sap enterprise portal to allow the employee to track his presence. In this page the employee has to check a presence/absence flag and in another page he can justify his absence with some reason.
I didn't find a standard functionality to meet this requirement, so I think a new form has to be created.
As additional requirement this form as to be stored as PDF document and it is not needed to store the information contained in the form in the sap backend system. The information contained in the form has to be stored in a non-sap system, so this information should be available as flat file to be imported in the non-sap system.
I'd like to understand the possible scenarios from a technical point of view to create the required functionalities.
ADOBE Interactive Form.
This is a webdynpro (java or abap) that contains the adobe component. The fields of the adobe component are linked to the sap backend system and are editable. The adobe component reads some data from sap bakend system and stores the values filled by the employee via the adobe component in the backend system.
ADOBE non-interactive Form
A webdynpro (java or abap) or a BSP has to be built to create some values, then once the user save/submit the information a PDF document is created with the information created in the previous page.
What is the difference between ADOBE (non-interactive) Form and ADOBE Interactive Form? The difference is that the first one is not editable? There is a big difference in terms of complexity develop an interactive or a non-interactive adobe form?
BSP that generate the PDF as output?
Could you please provide some input/defintion/sample to clarify this topic?
Thanks in advance

Hi friend,
Its not like that the Adobe created using SFP is non interactive.
We can create interactive forms using SFP transaction using java code.
I think it will be the problem with ADS just check with your basis people i think they will configure you the settings which works fine.
To check whether the settings are perfect you can try executing the standard programs FP_TEST_00 and
FP_PDF_TEST_00. If it works fine then some other problem exists else check with your basis team.
Just check this and revert me if you have any issues. I will help you

Digital Signatures in Adobe Forms (Non-Interactive)

Hi everyone,
I need to sign a receipt that will be sent by e-mail. The form is non-interactive, it´s only a simple receipt. This form may be printed or sent by e-mail; in case of being sent it must be signed before sending it. The receiver should be able to open it using Adobe Reader.
I´ve read other posts/help about singatures in Adobe Forms, but none of them of non-interactive forms; I need to know if it is possible to do this if the form is not interactive, and how it can be done.
Thanks!

How to make adobe form as Interactive

Hi,
I am trying to make adobe form in input-output mode ie. Interactive. For that I am passing parameter fp_docparams-fillable = 'X' to function module which generates Adobe form (In driver pgm) But its giving error as <u>"<i>Error in Adobe Document Services: Processing exception during a "UsageRights" operation.#Request start time: Tue Jul 17 16:37:37 GMT+05:30 200"</i></u>
Do we need to any ADS setting? or is there any other way to make form?interactive?
Regards,
Seema

hi Seema,
you need to install the ADS first of all...
the interactive form is not a much complicated thing at all....
like you create all the UI in the Dynpro Layout...
you create the UI elements in the Adobe Lifecycle Designer.
they are bound to the Context the same way as your Dynpro ui elements are.
whatever you put in the Context will affect the contents of the ui element.
and whatever you put/type in the ui element will be reflected in the context.

Adobe form bulider - Image field

Hi,
I have a requirement where i have to pass URL for image field through interface
and it should dispaly image.
Now the problem is if i assign the URL directly it works but if i do a binding there it doesen't work may be i am not doing it in right way.
Any clue.
Thanks,
Atul

Dear Engineer Naguib,
Please refer to the following post:
[Adobe Forms and Dynamic Images]
this.value.image.href = xfa.record.Images.URL;
Replace "xfa.record.Images.URL" by "xfa.record." + path to URL attribute in data hierarchy.

Adobe forms and interactive forms

Hi Friends,
I am new to adobe forms. Can anybody explain in detail-
1) Why Adobe forms instead of smartforms.
2) Main use of Adobe forms.
3) How to become master in this technlogy.
regards,
phaneendra.

Hi,
Why Adobe forms instead of smartforms.
In US Under section 58 will say all the printing documents(forms) should be accessible by the blind people, so that is the reason SAP has been integrated with Adobe. So we can access adobe designer using the tcode SFP. After you develope a adobe form output by using JAWS software imapaired (blind) people can access the output. Access in the sense that software will read the contents in the output.
Main use of Adobe forms.
Once you activate the ADobe form system will generate the function modue, thouse function module you can call in the print program. so that pdf form will call and appropriate output will generate.
In adobe forms we dont have windows concept, instead we have master pages,body pages, with the help of data xml file you can get the output it means no need to execute the printporgram.
You can write the condition adobe form itself
if it is master page select the event as layout ready and run at client
if it is body page select the event as form ready and run at client
You can get the lot of information in sdn regarding adobe forms
Thanks

Type: Text is translated but not Type : TextField.
any suggestion why this is not happening or is this the way SAP is built for Translations in Adobe forms.

You can have translation for adobe forms in sfp itself,

Countdown timer in adobe form from a field and pop-up warnings

I have created a form in adobe livecycle and I would like to add a Countdown timer that clicks off when a user enter's a time. I need the countdown timer to be 2 hours from the entered time. The user will have 2 hours to complete the form. I need warning boxes that will pop up at 30 minutes and at 15 minutes. If not completed in the 2 hour time frame from when the time was entered then the form will prompt to close.
I have found where the timer starts from the start or stop button but I would like it to start from when the time field is excited.
I am new to form scripting and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Do you mean the JavaScript methods setTimeout(), clearTimeout(), setInterval() and clearInterval() ???
I don't think these methods will work within Adobe LiveCycle forms.

Petr,
I am following you now.
I have created a group section with both rows.I went into edit alternatives .
Now I have 2 rows with DATA(0) and DATA(1).
Basically I have to use underlined DATA(0) one when field has no value
and other DATA(0) when field has value.
So basically my pop -up box has javascript
Name: DATA[0]      Binding : DATA
Expression:
PHCODE.value == ""
Name: DATA[1]      Binding : DATA
Expression:
PHCODE.value != ""
Do i need to write something else in expression for this?
Although I don't have value for that rows Now I am getting bottom lines for every row.
If i use null like below I am only getting rows with bottom lines and remaining are disappearing.
Expression:
PHCODE.value == null
Name: DATA[1]      Binding : DATA
Expression:
PHCODE.value != null
Is my expression correct?
What is operator for checking not equal to in javascript? is it !=? or !==?

Scripting in Adobe Forms - Hiding a field

Hi Experts
I have some code that I just can't get to work - please advise where I am going wrong.
Looking at the folowing code segment (Javascript, at Client), I am running through a loop of items (PO Text Items). If I take the IF statement out around the statement where I hide the fields, it works well (in other words it hides every line), but I only want to hide lines where the item (ItemTextFromPO) is empty.
var oFields = xfa.resolveNodes("data.PO_Page.MainSubform.ItemSubForm.POItemText.DATA[*].ItemTextFromPO");
var nNodesLength = oFields.length;
for (var nNodeCount = 0; nNodeCount < nNodesLength; nNodeCount++)
     if ( xxxxxxxxxxxx.rawValue == "" )
          oFields.item(nNodeCount).presence = "hidden";
Please advise what I need to use in the IF statement to make it work?
Thanks
Casper

Hi Chintan
I know there is no index currently in the if statement - and that is my problem.
I am getting a table of texts for PO Items passed into a form. Some items may have more than one text item, and some may have none. For those with none, it will still have a dummy entry - i.e. a table entry with nothing next to it. A table might look like this:
0010     Text for item 10
0010     More text for item 10
0020
0030     Text for item 30.
So, Item 20 above has no text (an empty text line).
In the form, I have a repeating subform - it repeats once for evry item. On this subform, I have an textfield called that can repeat many times, if necessary (like for Item 10 above in this example). In the context of the form, I have a where condition that linke the item texts to the items - in other words the texts appear with the correct items already.
However, I do not want anything to appear if the field is empty (like for line 20, in this example).
So, I have written the loop as you saw in my original question. This loop works - if I take the IF statement out, then it hides EVERY line. If I do not use a loop, it only hides the 1st line... so the loop is required.
I then need to 'ask' each item with the IF statement whether it is empty or not - and if it is, then hide it. So, I just need someone to tell me the correct syntax for the xxxxxxxxxxxxx in my IF statement. This should surely include the index (the counter of the loop) somehow, so that I can access each individual item.
I have tried many combinations, but none worked - so far.
Please let me know if I need to explain more.
Thanks,
Casper

Interactive Adobe form is not interactive in ABAP WD

Hello,
I've created an Adobe form with interactive UI elements (text input fields). When simulating these in the Adobe designer, they are all working fine. However, when executing the form embedded in an ABAP WD, the input fields are not active.
When I check the 'enable' check box of the form, a runtime error occurs.
Any assistance on that is highly appreciated.
Rene

Hi Rene,
seems as if your system is on a low support package...
If you go on to SP10 which should be there shortly, then you can also use ZCI in addition to ACF...
Can you check your ADS configuration? See the relevant section on Adobe integration in http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/e86de5008b4d9ae10000000a155369/frameset.htm
