Adobe Livecycle Designer Question (relationships between nested tables)

Hi,
I am currently working on a PDF document using nested tables.
I have already created the relationships between the nested tables in the context area.
However, I do not know how to create the same relationships between the nested tables in the hierarchy (layout.)
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

Hello John,
We define data in the context area only. The defined data in the context area will be available in the Layout area in the hierachy model(Data View tab).
In the Layout tab, we just need to design the form.
Hope I am clear. Please let us know if you want more details.
Thanks

Technical Reference question: Relationship between WIP Tables & INV Tables

Hi Community,
Due to my profile is more closer to the Financials Area than the Manufacturing and Work In Process Area, I want to leave the following question in the community, in order to see if anybody can give me an answer.
We want to modify a view created for its use in Discoverer. This view, retrieves the total number of units or kilograms that we have of all our items in all of our subinventory organizations, till submitted date. For all this itms, we want to know how many of them, and in which quantity should we depreciate them (is that to say, we categorized those items based on its antiquity in stock, to 6 months, 12 months, 18 months and more then 18 months). How we know the time range?, making a comparison between its last purchase date and its last sales date; and the result of that, with the submitted date.
This logic, works fine for all items added to our stock as a result of a Purchase Order and a Sales Order, cause in both operations, we can get the purchase date and the sales date; but for all of our items that we manufacture in our manufacturing process, all those items appears in the Discoverer Report, totally depreciated; is that to say, with an antiquity grater than 18 months. And in some cases that is correct, cause there are materials and items in stock since beginning implementation and migration from the old system, but for a huge number of them that is not correct, cause its stock is "constantly" up and down based on the manufacturing process or because its components are all of them purchased by a Purchase Order, but the final item get as a result of the manufacturing process, does not have this purchase date (does not inherit the first or last purchase date from any of its components), cause the only date that we can retrieve is the production date (transaction date) when the item was created.
So we want to include this production date in the logic of the query used to creation of the view which feed the discoverer report or to know the relationship between the WIP tables and INV tables (those where the items are reflected), in order to match the item, created in the manufacturing process, and the stock of that item in our subinventory organization.
Thanks in advance for your help and assistance.

Hello Experts, One of the Interview I faced a scenario,I have two tables T1,T2 and i have access to oracle and informatica .How can i know the relationship between two tables? Thankssirii

How would i design the relationship between "question", "subquestion", and "answer"

Hi all. Consider the following scenario:
Scenario:
A Question has an Answer, but some Questions have Subquestions. For example:
1. Define the following terms: (Question)
a) Object (1 marks) (Subquestion)
An instance of a class. (Answer)
b) ...
2. Differentiate between a constructor and a destructor (2 marks)
(Question)
A constructor constructs while a destructor destroys.
(Answer)
Question:
I want to model Questions, Subquestion, and Answer as Entities with relationships/associations, preferably binary relationships as i feel ternary relationships will be problematic while programming. Any suggestion on how i would
go about this?
There is never infinite resources.
For the Question Entity, a question has the attributes "QuestionPhrase <String>", "Diagram<Binary>", and "Marks
<Decimal>".
For the SubQuestion Entity, a subquestion has the attributes "SubQuestionPhrase <String>", "Diagram<Binary>", and "Marks <Decimal>".
For the Answer Entity, an answer has attributes, "AnswerPhrase<String>", "Diagram <Binary>"

Yes. I am in .Net. I sure do hope i did not ask in the wrong forum. :-|
Hi KCWamuti,
If you need to design the relationship between Question table and Answer table in SQL Server, as Uri’s and Visakh’s posts, you can create the foreign key to establish relationship between tables, and use join in query to get your desired result. For more
information about JOIN in SQL Server, please review this article:
Different Types of SQL Joins.
However, if you need to model Questions, Subquestion, and Answer as Entities in .Net, then the issue regards data platform development. I suggest you post the question in the Data Platform Development forums at
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?category=dataplatformdev . It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
Thanks,

Generate a subtotals table in Adobe LiveCycle Designer

Hi everybody.
I'm having troubles with a template named Customer Invoice (of Application and user management > Business Flexibility > Form Template Maintenance), the case is I modified the template to show a subtotals table that I generate by code (FormCalc language) in Adobe LiveCycle Designer, but the problem is that the code of template just works with some invoices. I don't know what's happening, I hope someone can helps me with this topic.
I'm attaching screenshots I hope it can help you to understand me, in the screenshots I'm marking the table I generated.
My code is (Language FormCalc ):
var longitud = tblTable.all.length
var aux
var acum = ""
var auxIndex = tblTable.all.length
for i=0 upto longitud - 1 step 1 do
    if(i == 0)then
            Table4.Row1[i].Cell1.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.frmHiddenItem.frmQuantity.decQuantity"))
            Table4.Row1[i].CellMesure.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.frmHiddenItem.frmQuantity.txtQuantityUnit"))
            Table4.Row1[i].Cell2.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.colDescription"))
            Table4.Row1[i].Cell3.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.tblNetValue.rowNetValue.decHiddenNetAmount"))
            Table4.Row1[i].CellCurrency.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.tblNetValue.rowNetValue.txtNetAmountCurrency"))
            Table4.Row1[i].Cell0.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.colProduct"))
        else
            var bandera = 0
            for j=0 upto Table4.Row1.all.length - 1 step 1 do
                if (tblTable[i].rowItem.colProduct.rawValue eq Table4.Row1[j].Cell0.rawValue ) then
                    Table4.Row1[j].Cell3.rawValue =Sum(0.00, Table4.Row1[j].Cell3, tblTable[i].rowItem.tblNetValue.rowNetValue.decHiddenNetAmount)
                    Table4.Row1[j].Cell1.rawValue =Sum(0.00 , Table4.Row1[j].Cell1, tblTable[i].rowItem.frmHiddenItem.frmQuantity.decQuantity)
                    if(xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i , "].rowItem.colDescription")) <> "" or xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i , "].rowItem.colDescription")) <> null) then
                        Table4.Row1[j].Cell2.rawValue =concat( xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[", i , "].rowItem.colDescription")))
                    endif
                    bandera = 1
                    break
                endif
            endfor
            if (bandera == 0) then
                Table4.Row1.instanceManager.addInstance(1).Cell1.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.frmHiddenItem.frmQuantity.decQuantity"))
                Table4.Row1[i].CellMesure.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.frmHiddenItem.frmQuantity.txtQuantityUnit"))
                Table4.Row1[i].Cell2.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.colDescription"))
                Table4.Row1[i].Cell3.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.tblNetValue.rowNetValue.decHiddenNetAmount"))
                Table4.Row1[i].CellCurrency.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.tblNetValue.rowNetValue.txtNetAmountCurrency"))
                Table4.Row1[i].Cell0.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.colProduct"))
            endif
        endif
endfor
Thank you very much.
Best regards.
Sincerely.
Ismael Lara

Hi Ismael,
as far as I can see there might be a mistake in the code itself. Did you check the tablerows you compare here?
I think you might have unexpected values at here:
tblTable[i].rowItem.colProduct.rawValue eq Table4.Row1[j].Cell0.rawValue
This might cause your unexpected result. Your results are never higher than expected, am I right?

Just upgraded to Acrobat 8. My users are now receiving a warning when the form is opened in adobe reader 7.0.8 that says "WARNING, this form is not supported with the current version of adobe reader. Upgrade tot he latest version for full support." THis message seems to stay for quite a while, and is confusing the users who have the latest version of adobe reader.

Troubles between non-Unicode R3 and Unicode Adobe LiveCycle Designer

Hi experts,
I'm getting troubles while trying to make a New Data Connection to R3 from Adobe LiveCycle Designer. The error say's "Cannot proccess unicode RFC in non-unicode system (for details see note 875767#)".
I know R3 was configured non-unicode and Adobe is unicode, but non of them let me change this property even in Adobe options or in RFC options. How can I solve this problem without changing unicode R3 kernel configuration?
Thanks

Did you raise this SAP via an OSS message?

Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8 Beginner

I am very much new to adobe form design tools. Now my company wants me to develop an eForms system using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.
The requirements are like this
All pdf forms will be saved in the file server.
Users can enter data directly into the fields of the form.
The form can capture data the user enters, and provide interactive feedback such as when an employee enter his roll number his department should be filled automatically in the form.ie form provide dynamic data
The form should be able to process the user data directly to a database.
Can anybody give some good reference so that I can start the project?
Thanks in advance,
dev

I have a vital form that clients fill out, which is passed to many people in the company along the workflow. The form is a Planner and we have in the following PDF, Word Doc..
Well before, the Planner.pdf was originally created in Word, since most people have access to Word.. but evolved to a PDF form created from the Word Doc via Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 w/ User Rights enabled so that the form could be filled out and saved using Adobe Reader.. which was a step better than Word.. being that it is free. But this needed to be easier and more to the point b/c some clients don't particularly like installing the latest version of Reader, even if you provide them the link. Nor do they like saving the form, filling the form, and attaching the form to send back.
My goal is to have the client fill an HTML version of the form, submit and be done with it, but everyone in the workflow be able to easily receive the filled Planner as a PDF form.
So some months ago I ran into this post Chris Trip, "Populate Livecycle PDF from mySQL database using PHP" #8, 22 Sep 2007 4:37 pm
which uses the command line Win32 pdftk.exe to merge an FDF file into an existing PDF on the remote server, and serve this to whoever.
My problem was with shared hosting and having the ability to use the Win32 pdftk.exe along with PHP which is predominantly used on Linux boxes. And we used a Linux box.
so i created the following unorthodox method, which a client fills the HTML version of the Planner, all field values are INSERTED into a table in MySQL DB, I and all filled planners that have been filled by clients to date can be viewed from a repository page where an XML file is served up of the corresponding client, but someone would have to have Acrobat Professional, to import the form data from the XML file into a blank form.. altoughh this is simple for me.. I have the PHP file already created so that when a Planner is filled and client submits. >> the an email is sent to me with a table row from the repository of the client name, #, email, and a link to d-load the XML file,
But I also have the PHP files created so that the Planner can be sent to by email to various people in the workflow with certain fileds ommitted they they do not need to see, but instead of the XML file beiong served up i need the filled PDF Planner to be served.
I can do this locally with ease on a testing server, but I am currently trying to use another host that uses cross-platform compatibility so i can use PHP and the pdftk.exe to achieve this, as that is why I am having to serve up an XML file b/c we use a Linux server for our website, and cant execute the exe.
Now that I am testing the other server (cross-platform host), just to use them to do the PDF handling (and it's only $5 per month) I am having problems with getting READ, WRITE, EXECUTE permissions..
Si guess a good question to ask is can PHP do the same procedure as the pdftk.exe, and i can eleminate it.
or how in the heck can i get this data from the DB into a blank PDF form, like i have described??
here are some link to reference

Adobe LiveCycle Designer & Mac?

Please help me understand this:
I have a Mac.
I have Acrobat Pro XI via the Creative Cloud.
There is a button within Acrobat Pro XI that says "Edit Text & Images"
When I press this button it says
"This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form."
This is a software that isn't available on Mac, correct?
I hope I don't need to state in any detail how useless / lazy this user experience design is.
Instead, there are questions, so many questions:
1. Why is there a button that does nothing.
2. Why does the help text for the button that does nothing request that I use a software I cannot run.
3. Are you seriously asserting that Mac users cannot edit a PDF via your software?

Thank you for the replies - the nature of this, however, is that an enduser who isn't 100% savvy with the tool that was used to create the PDF wants to edit the PDF and cannot.
It is useful to know that there are distinctions between the types of PDFs or how they were saved, even though the PDF content itself isn't anything out of the ordinary. I had edited forms exactly like this form in Acrobat Pro 8, for example.
I understand keeping the standards intact - ie, keeping it a PDF file - but there should be some sort of obvious feedback in the software. When looking at the info on MacOS it does state that it was created using LiveCycle 8.2. I wish it was more obvious in Acrobat and that options to edit were not selectable with a tangential error message!
So the question really becomes a statement: Hey, make this kind of PDF editable / createable in Mac. It is more understandable that since the creator wasn't in Mac, editing it isn't supported in Mac.
I was blinded by the fact that the PDF itself is less complicated than others that I could easily edit in previous versions of Acrobat Pro, literally just changing typos!
Thanks again everyone. Happy holidays

How to install fonts in Adobe Livecycle Designer

Hi All,
   I want to install new fonts in adobe LiveCycle designer.
   I installed this fonts in Control Panel >Fonts>File -->Install New Fonts and it is possible to see them in Livecycle Designer but when i preview the adobe print form this not work.
I found in the installation of the ADS configuration Guide this informations.
Adobe document services require access to fonts that are installed with the Font Manager Module. This module contains a number of Adobe bundled fonts installed in /usr/sap//j2ee/os_libs/adssap/FontManagerService/fonts/adobe.
You can also add fonts obtained from other vendors. The types of fonts you can add are OpenType® (.otf), TrueType® (.ttf), and PostScript® Type 1 (.pfb/.pfm).
So the question is how can i install new fonts so as to use in Adobe Forms?
I will appreciate any help and documentations about.
Thank you,
   Ari

Adobe document services require access to fonts that are installed with the Font Manager Module. This module contains a number of Adobe bundled fonts installed in /usr/sap/<SID>/J<xx>/j2ee/os_libs/adssap/FontManagerService/fonts/adobe.
Create a subdirectory called fonts below the
/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/AdobeDocumentServices/FontManagerServicedirectory
Create a subdirectory called customer below the fonts directory created in the previous step
Copy your font file(s) into the customer directory
Restart the "Document Services Font Manager" for the changes to take effect.Use Visual Admin on the Adobe Document server
i.      Expand "Server à Services "
ii.      Restart the Document Services Font Manager
Also restart the application com.adobe/AdobeDocumentServices
Expand "Server à Services à Deploy"
Select the "Applications" button at the bottom of the screen
Stop and start the com.adobe/AdobeDocumentServices application

Where to find the information regarding relationships between the tables?

I am developing a Windows based app which among other things lets users view SAP table schema and relationships.
If I use SAP GUI and dig up a bit on say the MARA table I can see that
Material Master (MARA) is related with
1) MaterialDescription (MAKT) on columns MANDT and MATNR
2) MaterialPlantData (MARC) on columns MANDT and MATNR
and so on
My question is - in which table the information regarding relationships between the tables is stored? There must be a data dictionary table which would be storing the relationships data. Which is it? Note: I will programatically access the table, NOT from the UI.

Thanks a lot...
I am still working on it, but here are the current findings. DD05S, DD08L and DD08T: The schemas for these tables were very promising for the thing I was looking for. Unfortunately the data within dose not seem to serve my exact purpose.
I found another one DD26S, which has almost 90% of the relationships I wish to explore. Do you know what is it supposed to contain?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Adobe LiveCycle Designer and Office 2010

Hi guys,
I'm using Adobe LiveCycle Designer (version 9 / ES2). I try to open a MS Word file, but I receive an error message.
Word (version XP or higher) cannot be found on the machine.
OS: Windows 7 Enterprise
Office: 2010
I read that the version 8.2 of LiveCycle Designer doesn't work with Office 2007 and higher. In this constellation the same error message appears. Is it the same problem on my side? How can I solve it?
Many Thanks,
untalentiert

I'm running Win XP using Parallels 8... LiveCycle Designer is WIndows only and Acrobat XI will only import hyperlinks correctly from Windows versions of Office - which is why I use Office on both the Mac and Windows side, as well as Acrobat XI on both platforms. You can't use the Office plug-ins for Office using LibreOffice (or even Office 2011 for Mac) hence the need to open docs in Word on the Windows side instead of the Mac side.
What I'm confused by is the pricing difference between the packages - I guessing that the $163 package is the 'full retail' and not an OEM or anything - but I don't know if an OEM would even work under a VM with Parallels...
So I may end up with the full retail version, although I'd like to save the $70 difference if I can!
Thanks,
Clinton

ViewerPreferences (e.g. HideWindowUI) in Adobe LiveCycle Designer

Hi,
When creating PDFs in Adobe Acrobat, you can set some ViewerPreferences:
* HideWindowUI
* HideMenubar
* HideToolbar true
These settings can be set via "Document Properties" => "Initial View" => "User Interface Options"
However, when creating a form using Adobe LiveCycle Designer. These options are not available!
Is there a way to change the ViewerPreferences for interactive forms?
Thanks,
Dries

This isn't a question about PDF Specifications. Please try the
LiveCycle Designer forum, thanks. Good luck,

To active Text Formatting function and more tool bars in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 11

I have an original PDF form need to be edited to a fillable form, I can add Text Field into form as a fillable text field into this PDF form in the Design View, however I can not edit any of the text , table and several other Objects. I am an authorized to the Adobe LiveCycle Designer 11 , How can I active my whole tool Bar to edit the PDF file? If the otiginal PDF is locked or read only for the above objects, how can I unlock them?

Hi,
if you import a given PDF file into Designer, it is displayed as background artwork in your form.
Most tools of Designer then will be deactivated.
There is no way to edit this PDF background in Designer, as the kind of PDF you create with Designer is completely different to the one you create with Acrobat or InDesign.
You either can edit your PDF in Acrobat or you have to build a new form in Designer from scratch, I believe.

ADOBE AIR for offline applications or Adobe LiveCycle Designer Offline form

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement of recreating the XK01 Customer Master Creation functionality and host it as online application in SAP Netweaver Enterprise Portal. I have done this by creating a Web Dynpro ABAP application and embedding a adobe livecycle designer interactive forms (having same fields as required for Customer Master creation in XK01). In online scenario, the PDF form opens up in browser. In offline scenario, the user can fill up the form and upload the form using UPLOAD button created in the Web Dynpro application. There has been some performance issues like if we have too many dropdown UI elements in the form (having many entries in each), then the form takes too much time to get uploaded.
Can we think of a alternate solution using Adobe AIR desktop application which will enable the user to fill up the form in AIR like User interface. I am new to Adobe Flex and Adobe AIR.
The online scenario perfectly fine with Adobe LiveCycle Designer Forms and SAP ABAP Web Dynpro application. It's offline functionality where its performance hasnt been up to the mark.
Also let me know if Adobe AIR can be used in the offline scenario while ADOBE forms in online scenarion or is it mandatory to have AIR AND FLEX in offline and online scenario respectively.
Please advise.
Regards.
Rohit

hi,do you still need an answer for this question?
Because Adobe flex and air are very good solutions for a offline and online scenario
Kind regards,
Anton Pierhagen
