Adobe Interactive Form - How to disable Adobe toolbar in my View

Hello Expert,
we are starting to use the Adobe Interactive Form in our webDynpro (java) project.
We would like to offer to our users an interactive form and to save the data inserted by the users in a database.
So we add a "Submit Button" in our form, the button il linked to the method "onActionSubmit()" in the view implementation.
But we want to force the users to press it before to save/stamp the pdf form.
Is possible to disable the Adobe toolbar, that offers command like "stamp" or "save as", until the users press the "Submit Button"?
Thanks in Advance
Best Regards

Error message while clicking PDF Preview of a ADOBE interactive form

Hi -
I am creating an ADOBE interactive form having Tables, few text fields and E-mail submit button. The scripting language used is FormCalc.
Whenever I am clicking on PDF Preview to see the form layout and to check other functionality, I am getting an error message:
Error message -
Error: syntax error near token '|' on line 1, column 14.
Script failed (language is formcalc; context is xfa[0].form[0].data[0].Mainpage[0].Subform3[0].Table2[0].Row1[0].RATING[0])
script=this.isnull || (this.rawvalue >= -32768 && this.rawvalue <= 32767
I checked my scripts and there is no syntax error in that. My form is also working absolutely fine except getting this error message pop up whenever I try previewing my form.
Can you please tell me, what can be the possible reason.

I tried everything, but couldn't figure out the reason for error. I wrote the script again, but the error is still coming.
Here is a part of my script. I have written this script on Email submit button in preSubmit event, to check if the RATING field value is less than or equal to 3. depending upon this condition, I am making the COMMENT field as mandatory. The same script is repeated for all the RATING & COMMENT fields.
if (data.GyanMainBodyPage.Subform2.Table1.Row1.RATING1 <= 3)
then
 data.GyanMainBodyPage.Subform2.Table1.Row1.COMMENT1.mandatory = "error"
 data.GyanMainBodyPage.Subform2.Table1.Row1.COMMENT1.mandatoryMessage = "Please fill corresponding comment"
else
 data.GyanMainBodyPage.Subform2.Table1.Row1.COMMENT1.mandatory = "disabled"
endif

Adobe Interactive Form - Layout type

Friends,
I am working on an Adobe Interactive Form.
Regarding the Layout Type in the Properties Tab, what option should i choose:
Unknown Layout Type / xACF Layout / ZCI layout / Standard Layout.
I have used print forms in the past and chose Standard Layout. Please let me know what is the right choice for an interactive form.
I am trying to populate Drop Down box with values. I have chosen "Enumerated Drop-down List" from Web Dynpro Native Library.
I have done the binding under Binding tab -> Specify Item Values -> Dynamic Properties -> Binding.
Still the values are not getting displayed in the PDF preview.
Is the layout type the reason for this or do i need to work with ABAP Dynpro to rectify this error.
Points will be rewarded for helpful answers.
Thanks.

Hi,
The basic difference is:
1) ActiveX Dropdowns requires ACF to be installed on each client machine to get back the data from interactive form back to context.
2) While, the use of Native dropdowns makes a form to ZCI type, so that does not require any xACF component to be installed on each and every machine that uses the Interactive forms.
So, it is recommended to use Native dropdowns in your forms,
Also, for the population of dropdowns of type native you can go through SAP note: 1013227.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Amita

Date format convert error in XML interface based Adobe interactive forms

Hi experts,
I am using XML interface based Adobe interactive form in Web Dynpro ABAP. The form just contains some date fields and numeric fields.
When I test the WD Application, the date fields appear like 0000-00-00 at the first time. And then I set the form input disable, and get the XML from the form, at the same time I get the warning message, 'date format convert error'. By the way, I have set the edit pattern, display pattern and data pattern of the date field to YYYYMMDD, but there seems no effect.
Could you tell me how to set the default date format in date field Or clear the 0000-00-00?
And another question, all of the numeric fields in the form appear like 0.0, how can I set it to empty when the form initialize?
Best Regards,
Guo Guo Qing

Hi Chintan,
Thank you for your reply.
I have tried every possible changes on the Date field, locale, pattern. But still no effect. When the PDF come up in the WDA program, the date field is still '0000-00-00', and then I export the XML date of the form, there is also '0000-00-00' in the interface field.
I can't clear the '0000-00-00' in initializiation event using javascript because if I need to open the form again, if I do this, the value user input could be cleared.
I also try using Javascrip like this
if this.rawValue == "0000-00-00"
{ this.rawValue = ""; }
The code above can't clear the initializiation zeros too.
Have you used the XML interface based online Adobe Forms? I have used XML PDF forms for output before, that's perfect. But the input forms seems so strange.

Guo Guo Qing

Is it possible to create Adobe Interactive form in ECC 5.0 IDES using WDA?

Hi every body,
I am trying to create an adobe interactive form in ECC 5.0 IDES using Web Dynpro for ABAP. But I am facing some configuration problems. My doubt here is -> "Is it possible to create abobe interactive forms in ECC 5.0 IDES using Web Dynpro for ABAP ?"
Please help me out.
thanks in advance,
best regards,
naveen.

Hi Naveen,
ECC 5.0 is NW04 - not NW04s so you don't have WDA at all as you should be able to see from e.g. it not appearing in the list of possible programming objects in transaction SE80.
You'd need ECC 6.0.
Double-check your SAP_BASIS release in menu System > Status > Component Information. If it says 6.40 then that's no good... you need to be on 7.00.
You can still use Java WebDynpro with ECC 5.0 of course.

Filtering Drop-down Values Adobe Interactive Form

Hi,
I am working on adobe interactive form, in which I have a normal drop-down. Now the requirement is, depending on the value of another field (country) , I need to display only the states pertaining to the country being displayed. In my drop-down I get a list of all states irrespective of the country.
I have created an Interactive Adobe form using WebDynpro ABAP. I have populated the view context in my business logic and I am using this context to populate my drop-down. I have a root node named as NODE_ROOT which is of cardinality 1:1 and a child node named as NODE_STATE of cardinality 0:n with State, State_Desc and CountryID as its attributes.
In my drop-down list I have mapped the Item to $record.NODE_STATE.DATA[*], Item_text to the attribute State and Item_Value to the Attribute State_Desc. I have also enabled the "Show Dynamic Binding" option from Tools->Options->Data Binding.
The Drop-down is working fine. I would like to filter these values based on country by making use of CountryID in my form. Is it possible through scripting? If so, how do I do it?
Sample code would be of great help.
Thanks,
Anusha

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.

Script Editor with Adobe Interactive Forms

Hi Everybody,
I have an issue (i think!) with the Adobe Interactive Form Editor in my NWDS.
I need to use some scripts in my PDF form, and i though that the script editor will be helpful, but this is disabled.
Somebody knows how to enable it?
If I have to validate values or calculate values in the PDF form, is this the way?
Thank You very much for Your help.
Regards.
SS.

Hi SS,
I am not sure what do you mean by "disabled".
But for your information script editor is enabled only for UI elements like subform, input fields, Image field etc. When you open the form the script editor is disabled. When you select some element like subform, textfield etc, its enabled for that UI element.
If this is not your case, please let us know what all elements you have on the form.
Regards,
Shubham

Read values from Adobe Interactive Form inside the webdynpro

Hello,
I have problems to read the values of the fields inside de adobe. I read an article on saptechincal that told:
You can see the Adobe form that we have designed, enter the data as shown below and press the submit button. (As I said earlier an activex control will be installed on to the client machine, you can see the activex control in the internet explore go to the menu: ToolsàInternet optionsàgo to the programs tab àPress button Manage add-ons.
You can see an activex control named u2018SAP ACFu2019, if you donu2019t have this control you will not see this page: Note you need to have adobe acrobat reader 7.1 installed, I have used version 9, the activex control was not working properly so down graded my adobe reader to 7.1)
This is true ??? I have the Acrobat reader 9.3 and i saw that also have the SAP ACF installed.
The value of the property displaytype on adobe interactive form on webdynpro is activeX or native.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Thank you for the answer.

I change the value of the attribute but again i can read anything from the adobe form. So let me explain what i'm doing.

Objective: I have to create one webdynpro with an adobe interactive form for create new clients on r/3 system.

1. I create de the view with 2 elements an interactive form and one submit button.

2. Create the context of the view with the following tree:

> context (node)

 > ADOBE_DATA (node)

 > Clients (from KNA1 table) (node)

 > KUNNR

 > LAND1

 > NAME1

 > ORTO1

 > TELF1

>PDF_SOURCE

3. Complementing the properties of the interactive form:
datasource = clients node of the context
displaytype = native
pdf_source = pdf_source attribute of the context
templatesource = name of the form

4. Create the form, and add the data source to the interface of the form

5. On the form bulider i add and subform on the hierarchy tab and the all the fields of the interface to the form and
automatically the value of the fields are binding.

6.Add a submit button from web dynpro native and add the event click to the button. Then i change the value of the layout type and save e activate the form and the interface

7. The next step is create an action for the button submit for the event "onSubmit". So i create the function and start coding this code:

DATA: adobe_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,

 client_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,

 client_element TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,

 client TYPE if_create_client=>element_clients.

*Get reference to the adobe_data node from the context

adobe_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_adobe_data ).

*Get reference to the clients node from the context

client_node = adobe_node->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_clients ).

*Get element node

client_element = client_node->get_element( ).

*Get the values from the form

client_element->get_static_attributes(

 IMPORTING

 static_attributes = client ).

8. Then for finalize i add the view to the window and crate a web dynpro application and put one break point on the submit function event.

9. Activate and test the application and when the program try to add a reference to the element node always returning a null reference and the application dumped.

So please help with this situation i can't understand what is the mistake.

PS: Now i have installed the acrobat reader 7.0.8

Update table after filling an adobe interactive form inside a workflow

Hi
I have the following workflow problem:
I made a webdynpro application that incudes an adobe interactive form. An user fill this form. After filling the form he will press the submit button. The data will be introduced in the custom table and a workflow will be started.
Inside the workflow, I attached the form filled by the user. After attaching it I introduce a user decision step in order to see the content of the pdf attachment, modify it and send again. So, the person that will execute the workitem has to open that pdf and fill some additional fields. The information should be updated in the table and then send to other persons. I don't know how to update the table with the new values that are inserted in the form in that decisional step and send the updated form to the other users.
Thank you in advance !
Iulia

Hi Iulia
You cannot do that through decision step with attachment. You have to do with task registation in t-code SWFVISU. so the work item will come to UWL once the approver clicks the work item it opens and entered his comments, You have to caputer the comments and pass these comments to the workflow container element from there you update to your custom table.
