Adobe interactive form-submit button is not working
hai guys,
i am following the example in sap technical.
i have created the adobe form in webdynpro for abap applaiction.
but the submit button doesnt work .(it doesnt trigger the break point set in on action method)..
reading other threads,i verify,
the button is dragged from webdynpro library(i dont ahve native and activex libbraries but only one library)
i am on
sap ecc 6.0
netweaver 7.0
adobe life cycle designer 7.0
acrobat 8.11
any suggestions?
Hi Kumar,
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 and Regards

ADOBE LiveCycle Designer 8 - EMAIL SUBMIT BUTTON DOES NOT WORK
I created a new form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8, but the email submit button, nor a regular button assigned with a 'submit' function will do anything. It should initiate a new Outlook email but it does not. My default programs are set correctly (default email program and the default "mailto" program are set to Outlook). This document was created not only with ALC8, but on a Windows Vista PC with MS Office 2007. I ran a test to see if it would work on a WinXP SP2 machine with Office 2003 and it still did not work.
Can anyone help?Alan
Though not an expert, I've created a few forms with the Submit by Email button. If you've already done this then sorry for asking, but did you go through the Acrobat Distribution (Forms>Distribute Forms)process after creating the form in LC8? As far as I can tell the email submit button doesn't work without this stage.
This confirms the email submission address, then sets up a dataset to be saved in a location of your choice.
filename_dataset_0001.pdf
then a file type that can be edited, saved and submitted by Reader users:
filename_pub_0001.pdf
You can save this to your intranet server or email direct to the recipient.
When the submit button is then used you receive a copy of the whole form which on opening will prompt you to add it to the dataset. Receiving and adding multiple forms to the data set is straightforward. You will see them all listed in the viewer above the form itself. From here you can also then select and export the data to Excel via xml or as a csv file.
Note that any changes you make to the form should be to the original document and the distribution process repeated, otherwise the functionality of the form will be affected.
That's about the limit of my knowledge I'm afraid, therefore if you have already tried this and are still having problems then hopefully someone else can help out.

Web dynpro with adobe interactive forms and button submit
Hi,
I'am new with webdynpro and adobe interactive forms so i just trying some example with an adobe interactive form with a submit button event handler inside the webdynpro. But i can't catch the event handler submit that i creaate on onSubmit property of the interactive form.
Can anyone help please.
Thank you very much.I think I understand but just to make it clear. I use texts created using function module "SAVE_TEXT". In my Web Dynpro I select one or more of them and use the button "insert text" (with appropriate functionality behind it) to insert them to specified location in my PDF form opened in this Web Dynpro. Considering what you said it is not possible to replace this "insert text" button by drag and drop functionality. Am I correct?
Btw great job with the book "Next Generation ABAP Development" Thomas! -
I have created a fillable web form using the FormsCentral app on my mac.
It has a couple of required fields, and a couple of show/hide fields.
It tests perfectly, and we sent out a link to the formscentral link to all staff and for some people it does not work. They can see the form and fill in data, but the show/hide stuff doesn't perform correctly and the submit button doesn't work.
Works for me in Safari and Firefox, and seems sketchy in IE - works for some but not others.
Any thoughts?The first thing to confirm is that the form is an HTML/web form and not a PDF embedded in the browser, if it is a PDF please see this FAQ: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-4142
Assuming you or your customers/users are having problems submitting the HTML/web form - the most common cause of show/hide logic not working and the Submit button not working is Javascript is not enabled in the web browser.
Some things to try (since instructions for each item vary per browser google the steps for the browser you are using):
Confirm that Javascript is enabled (required for FormsCentral forms):
http://www.javatester.org/javascript.html
Clear the browser cache
Try disabling browser plugins
If using Internet Explorer check to see if the page is in "Compatibility View" mode and if so try turning it off
Try a different web browser
I know that this is made more difficult by the fact that it is not you reporting this issue but your customers and you may not have acess to try the steps above...
If these steps don't resolve the issue please respond with the operating system you are on (Mac or Windows) and which web browser and version you are using.
You can send me the URL to your form at [email protected] so I can try in IE on Windows to confirm that in general it works (or identify an issue if it does not).
Thanks,

Form submit button won't work in most browsers
I have a PDF form which I created in InDesign, then added Form fields in Acrobat XI Pro, including a submit and print button. These work fine in Acrobat Reader, but in many browsers (Chrome, Firefox) the "submit" button doesn't work. It works fine in Safari. Since most people filling out an application do it right within the browser, rather than downloading it and opening in Adobe Reader, this is a problem.
The file in question is here:

Shouldn't this work within any browswer?

Yes, it should, and it does. The problem is that Chrome and Firefox come with their own PDF viewers, which do a very bad job, especially with forms.
Users need to disable the Chrome / Firefox PDF viewers, then enable the Adobe Reader add-on.
Firefox, see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-adobe-reader-plugin-view-or-download-pdf-files and also http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1158136
Chrome, see https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/142056
You may also encounter additional problems with Safari on Mac OS. -
Submit buttons do not work, even in the firefox menu
Not sure if it is submit or what but most times I can't fill a form and then have the button work to send it. My pin it button will not work when I try to pin something on pinterest and even in the firefox tools/options box I can't open up menu options like manage add ons, They do not respond and act as if I am not clicking them. I do not have this on the the other computer. I removed the program and downloaded it again and it is the same. I also have a "skipity" toolbar which I did not have before and it does not show up in the toolbar options to remove it. I am so frustrated right now!
It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry if the Extensions tab on the about:addons page (Tools > Add-ons) is empty.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is a compatibility update available. -
Adobe Acrobat submit button feature not working
Hello,
I just created a new time card using Adobe Acrobat. I'd like to make it so when the user enters their hours, they click on the submit button and it routes the form to the e-mail I've provided.
Following the directions provided by adobe (http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/acrobat/articles/acr8at_addsubmit.ht ml), I added mailto: myE-mailAddress@...
But when I tested out the form by clicking submit, a dialog box appeared asking me to save it, but then I ended up receiving NO e-mail.When using a mailtotype URL, be sure there is no space between "mailto:" and the email address. For example:
"mailto:[email protected]"
and not
"MailTo: [email protected]"
But that's not likely to be your problem. It is up to the user to complete the sending of the email. If the user elects to save the data or PDF locally, it is up to them to then attach the file manually. In the other case, they have to complete the sending of the email. If their default email program does not get launched with the file attached, then thir system is not properly set up. -
Adobe Interactive Form "Submit To SAP"-Button
Hello,
I have the following problem: I have implemented a IF solution with ABAP + BSP + Interactive Forms. We have a landscape with Test, Quality and Productive System. I have a "Submit to SAP"-button on my interactive form. The Url to which I want to send my Form back to my system, should be generated dynamically depended on Test, Quality or Productive system, so that I only have to design ONE form and not THREE forms (one for each system).
So what I do is the following:
I generate the PDF-object in ABAP with my XDP-File and my Data.xml. In my Data.xml I have integrated a special tag <urltosapsystem> where I generate my URL for the button, dependend on which system I am.
On the Interactive Form I want to parse the XML-file for my special tag <urltosapsystem> via JavaScript and assign the URL for the submit-button dynamically.
So my question is:
How can I assign the URL for the submit-button dynamically via JavaScript:
- On which object (on the whole form,on the button) and which event (onClick, OnPreSubmit,...) can I insert my JavaScript code
- How does the JavaScript-Code has to look like
Thanks for your help,
AndreasHello Andreas,
the "submit to sap" button is intended to be used in the WebDynpro environment. Hence, there is no way to specify a URL for that button. The submitting is handled by WebDynpro.
Regards

What am I doing wrong? The first time I created my form I used Acrobat and the FormsCentral embedded in the program. The original form was working, but I had to make some changes to it. I can't get FormCentral to launch within Acrobat anymore. I loaded my new form (with the changes) to Forms Central through the browser interface, yet when I open the form and download the form to post the posted form does not work. Help!
Hi,
if it's ok for you, people can send a email at your adress, it's enough to use (translated from German-DW):
Insert -> email link. In my DW it looks lik this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>eMail</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="mailto:[email protected]">eMail</a>
</body>
</html>
The users click into the word "eMail" your eMail-program wil start.
Naturally there are som other ways, like this for example:
<td width="35%"><input id="send" type="submit" name="Submit" value="send" />
I suggest first try or test the easy way.

Adobe form submit by email not working in Safari
I created a form in Acrobat and set it up for the data to be returned in pdf by email. I had to do this b/c the receiver doesn't have acrobat. I am hearing from the user that submit by email button doesn't work in Safari (the user was able to get it to work in IE). Is there something I need to do to my form or does the user need to do something in Safari?
E-mail submission is client sensitive (this even occurs with HTML forms that use mailto). In Acrobat or Reader on Windows, it uses the default MAPI mail client (if one exists - one of the problems). I have no idea what the requirement is on a MAC, but probably something similar. You need to figure out how to do a web submission to resolve the problems.

Email submit button is not working
Now facing strange problem for email submit button. A custome script (event.target.submitForm) is used for sending mail. It is working well adobe reader 9.1 but getting block Acrobat X pro. Also update reader can not submit the form by mail.
A pop box appears which says Acrobat does not allow the connection to:..........
I was trying to allow the restriction but not get any option to select. Edit > preferences > Trust Manager > change setting > under manage internet access I cannot edit any option.
Has adobe changed any policy? How can I submit form by email?The email button can only work for Reader users if the document is Reader-enabled with Acrobat (or LiveCycle Reader Extensions). Do you have Acrobat?
For the text field problem, you just have to make them multiline. In LiveCycle Designer, select a text field, open the Object palette, and select "Allow Multiple Lines" on the Field tab. You may want to also select "Limit Length to Visible Area". -
Script to validate a field when submit button pressed not working
I have a script to validate certain fields and generate an error message if fields are blank or not filled out correctly. Everything works fine except for one of them. I'm trying to generate an error message if one of the fields have an invalid format in it. For example, the format should be ''XXXX.XX'' (all numbers) so if they enter ''XXXX'' the error message will generate and the form will not submit. I have a function setup under this particular field and it works but unfortunately users are ignoring the error message and submitting the form anyway and this field really needs to be right before it's submitted.
This is what I'm using for it:
var bCancel = false;
var strMsg = "";
if (getField("Tracking").value == /^\d{0,4}(\.\d{0,2})?$/) {
bCancel = false; }
if (getField("Tracking").value != /^\d{0,4}(\.\d{0,2})?$/) {
strMsg = "Invalid Format. Please correct before continuing. (EX: 0000.00)";
bCancel = true; }
So the problem is it generates the error message now even if the format is correct. I'm sure I did something wrong but I wrote the format the same way (/^\d{0,4}(\.\d{0,2})?$/) when I ran a custom format script under this field and it worked fine so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm also including this part of the script with the rest of the field validations in the submit button. So altogether it looks something like this (just with a lot more fields, didn't include all of them bc it gets pretty redundant)
var bCancel = false;
var strMsg = "";
if (getField("Tracking").value == /^\d{0,4}(\.\d{0,2})?$/) {
bCancel = false; }
if (getField("Employee Name").value >= 1) {
bCancel = false; }
if (getField("AcctNbr1").value >= 1) {
bCancel = false; }
if (getField("Tracking").value != /^\d{0,4}(\.\d{0,2})?$/) {
strMsg = "Tracking field format is invalid. Please correct before continuing. (EX: 0000.00)";
bCancel = true; }
if (getField("Employee Name").value == "") {
strMsg="At least one required field was empty on export. Please fill in the required fields (highlighted) before continuing.";
bCancel = true; }
if (getField("AcctNbr1").value == "") {
strMsg="At least one required field was empty on export. Please fill in the required fields (highlighted) before continuing.";
bCancel = true; }
if (bCancel){
app.alert(strMsg);
} else {
this.mailDoc({
bUI: true,
cTo: "[email protected]",
cSubject: "Form Returned: Maintenance Form"});
I'm fairly new to scripting, especially in Adobe, so I probably didn't do a great job with all of it. Please let me know if there's anything I need to change to get it working better. Thanks in advance for your help!OK, below are two regular expressions that may do what you want:
var re1 = /^\d{4}\.\d{2}$/;
var re2 = /^[1-9]\d{3}\.\d{2}$/;
The first, re1, will match any four digits, followed by a decimal point, followed by two digits. A potential problem with this is it will match a string like "0001.23", which may not be what you want. If you don't want it to match a string with leading zeroes, you can use the second one, re2. It will match any digit from 1 to 9, followed by any three digits, followed by a decimal point, followed by two digits.
The test method of a regular expression takes a string as an argument and will return true if it matches the regular expression, or false if it doesn't. Here are some example outputs given various field values and methods of getting the field values:
// Text1 field value is 0123.45
// Get the field value.
// The variable num will be a number, not a string
// num will equal 123.45
var num = getField("Text1").value;
// Test regular expression against num
bOK = re1.test(num); // returns false
// Now get the field value as a string
// num will equal "0123.45"
var num = getField("Text1").valueAsString;
bOK = re1.test(num); // returns true
// Now use the other regular expression
bOK = re2.test(num); // returns false
// Text1 field value is now 1234.56
// num will equal "1234.56"
var num = getField("Text1").valueAsString;
bOK = re2.test(num); // returns true
To summarize, if you want to not allow leading zeroes, get the field value using the valueAsString field property, and use a regular expression that does not match a leading zero. You should probably change the regular expression you're using in the Keystroke script if you want to prevent the user from entering a number with any leading zeroes. -
