Apply Folder Form with show field issue

Hi All,
We try to apply oracle standard folder technology in our customization form.
(http://www.freewebs.com/lvterry/oracle/apply_folder.html)
After applying the folder technology, we can move fields, re-size fields, show fields and hide fields in our customization form.
BUT, there is still an issue.
For example, there is a field A with property : update allowed = TRUE.
When we show the field A which we hided before, the field is displayed but becomes updated allowed = FALSE.
It confused us, why a update-allowed-TRUE field become read-only field?
Is there any triggers or settings required to fix this issue?
Thanks for advance.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Best regards,
Zhxiang.

sounds like an EBS problem.

  • What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

    What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

    You want to allow someone to open your document and fill out the form (in the fields you have created), but not change or edit the form, right? Here's the answer - assuming you are using Acrobat Pro and someone will be opening the PDF using at least Acrobat Reader 9 and up:
    Tools > Protection > Encrypt < Encrypt with Password
    Answer YES to change the security.
    A new window opens:
         Do NOT select Document Open (or that will require a password to open the document.)
         Select: Permissions (Check the box next to "Restrict editing and printing of the document.")
         Change the following 2 settings from the drop-down box:
              Printing Allowed: Select High Resolution
              Changes Allowed: Select Commenting, filling in form fields, and signing signature fields
              Leave selected: "Enable text access for screen reader devices for the visually impaired"
              Change Permissions Password (insert a strong password)
              Leave all other settings alone in "Options"
              OK - OK
              Re-enter the Permissions Password (the one you entered above)
              OK - OK
              Save the PDF to apply the security [notice that (SECURED0 will appear after the document title]

    How can I allow the application to line through a field that has been locked after being digitally signed?
    We have multiple sections on a form with some fields being proposed information and other in another section having the approved information. once the approved information is entered we line through the proposed field so the data entry clerk won't pick up the wrong information.  However we are receiving an error when attempting to enter data  in the field which we have this edit.  Error property: line through cannot be set because doing so would violate the document permission setting.  any idea how we can get around this issue?

    You can control which fields are locked down after signing by setting up a collection. Then those that are not locked can be changed after signing. If this is not possible, then the line outs must occur prior to signing.

  • 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

  • XML form SPS13 error saving form with user field

    Hello gurus!
    After upgrading to SPS13 all XML Forms with imput field type 'user' produce error when saving data: incorrect user id. But I select user id from user list! ID can't be incorrect.
    Please, help.
    bestRegards, RO-man

    Hi Roman,
       I am using EP 60 SPS13 Patch 3, have you installed this patch ?
    You have to create a sibling node, for instance "usuario", don't forget to define it as user (data detail).
    Then you add a browse object in your form, and change action property as user.
    Then you establish a relation between usuario and your browse object.

  • Problem in Webdynpro and Adobe form with signature field

    Hi experts!
    I have a problem with Signature Field in Adobe Form showed in a Web Dynpro Abap.
    During the execution I fill the Signature field correctly but when I push any other button of the Webdynpro, the Adobe Form shows me the next error.
    After click OK, the webdynpro is hang and not respond.
    Any idea why not respond?
    Thanks.

    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
    Thanks,

  • Combing PDF forms with identical field names while retaining unique values.

    I have several PDF files of the same form that has been filled out by multiple users. I need to create a combined file of all the responses for reporting purposes. However, the forms (obviously) all have the same field names, and when I combine them the values of the first form autofill the values of the matched fields on the other forms. I need a way to combine the forms while retaining the unique field values. I thought I could write a js to rename the fields, but that isn't possible.
    *EDIT: The fields need to retain editability because some contain long, scrolling text. Flattening or read-only isn't an option, not that either fixes the above problem.
    Suggestions?

    UPDATE:
    I solved this problem, at least for my own needs. Following try67's advice in a related post, I had to delete the existing fields and create new ones with new names. Given my desired outcome, this meant collecting all of the field properties of the fields (with some variation by field type), storing it, erasing the existing fields, and using that stored information to create new, identical fields (again with some variation by field type). Since I didn't want to retain actions or javascript, this was a perfect solution. I also no longer needed the buttons to function (since I wasn't retaining their javascript), so I made them read-only. I'm listing my working code below, in case anyone else could benefit from some or all of it.
    My question to the community is this: Why doesn't Adobe allow for fields to be renamed via javascript? Is it a security issue? My life would have been a lot easier the last few days if I could simply rename existing fields.
    The following script is used in a Combine Files action via the Action Wizard. The PDF optimizer is also used to strip out or flatten additional items.
    //This script is used to rename all the fields in a document while also removing any javascript or actions associated with those fields. Makes buttons read only without renaming.
    //Function to create a random alphanumeric ID.
    function makeid(n) {
        var text = "";

  • Multi-Row Update form with wrapped fields

    Hi,
    I have a multi-row update form with too many fields to fit on the screen without having to scroll. Is it possible to wrap the extra fields onto a 2nd line.
    So each DB record will actually span 2 srceen rows and fit nicely into my browser ??
    Thanks for any help,
    Brandon

    It is possible, but would require some serious work on the report template, to create a custom row template.
    I started to do this at http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=24317:191 but realized that it is hard work. Also, where would you show the headings for the second part of the row (split onto the next line)?
    Instead, I would use the Show/Hide columns technique (client-side scripting) to reduce the number of columns shown. Search for it on this forum. Carl and I have some good examples out there.

  • Multiple Page flowed form with expandable field, causing a blank page

    I have a 3 page form with an expandable field on page 1.  I've set the pages up as flowable with positioned subforms and everything is working well, until you type a lot of info into the expandable field and it moves everything else in page 1 down to page 2, the problem appears after the text is moved, there is a huge blank space after the text that was moved.  Basically the rest of the information is moved to page 3 and then there is a page 4.  Hope this makes sense.
    Original - Page 1, Page 2, Page 3
    Expanded past the page - Page 1&2 (then big blank space), Page 3, Page 4
    I'd just like the pages to flow together so if the expanded box moves to the next page the sections just continue to follow without a huge blank space on page 2.

    It sounds as if some of your content is set to not allow page breaks within it.  Have you checked all containing sub forms for the option below?

  • Interactive pdf form with text fields. Chinese fonts

    Hi All
    We have designed an interactive pdf with text fields. We need the text fields to be in a Chinese font. I understand that this cant be done in Indesign (change the inputting font to Chinese) I have moved the file over to Acrobat Pro and used the text property to amend the font to Simsun but when we try it out the font is still in English. Any ideas on how to remedy the problem??
    Thank you in advance
    Paul

    Basically, you need to create a pdf form.
    Add a text field to your form.
    There you can choose which font your want the text to appear in.
    The trick is, when you export from InDesign, in the "Advanced Tab" — set "Subset fonts when percentage…" to 0%, so the whole font embeds.'
    I believe there's an option in Acrobat to embed the font as well, but I'm not recalling what it it.
    But that will ensure the font appears correctly.

  • Error in smart form with currency  fields

    while i am using with currency fields in samrt forms error is comming in while i am giving print-preview in se38 "<b>Reference field WA_EKPO-NETPR unknown in form."</b>

    In smart forms if we want to display quantity and currency fields. We cannott directly display currency field and quantity fields.
    To display the mdo like this
    Ex: GLOBAL Definitions
    WA_NETPR LIKE EKPO-NETPR
    For that we have to create an extra variable in global definitions
    Ex: netpr FIELD of EKPO
    CREATE program lines and specify WA_NETWR = itab-netpr.
    Close the thread once your question is answered.

  • Form with fillable fields on iPad

    I have a form created in Adobe Acrobat pro with fillable fields. When I save it to my iPad, the fields are no longer fillable. How can I make the fields fillable on the iPad? Thanks!

    Hi Nick,
    You can use Adobe Fill & Sign DC for the purpose.
    Adobe Fill & Sign DC is a free mobile app that can be used all by itself, or with Acrobat DC. While Acrobat lets you work with fillable PDF forms and draw a signature with your finger, Fill & Sign gives you an easy way to work with paper forms or PDFs that haven’t been optimized for form filling. With Fill & Sign on an iPad or Android tablet device, you can:
    Open a PDF file, take a photo, or pick an image from your mobile device
    Type answers right onto the form, or accept auto-fill suggestions
    Sign your form by typing or drawing your signature, or using an image
    Edit your personal auto-fill collection so you don’t have to retype frequently-used information each time you complete a new form.
    If you want to edit the pdf form then you need to purchase the subscription to Adobe Acrobat DC.
    For more information please refer the FAQ: FAQ | Acrobat DC mobile app
    Adobe FormsCentral has reached end of life and is no longer supported.
    Installation of Acrobat DC on the PC removes the older version of Acrobat and FormsCentral.

  • How to use same DFF for two different forms with :BLOCK.field reference

    Hi,
    Can anyone suggest how to use the same dff in two different forms by using :BLOCK.field reference.
    Scenario is the same DFF is referenced by two forms, viz. Form-1 & Form-2.
    Form-1 Reference Field is :BLOCK.field name, but the same block is not available in Form-2, which throws an error while opening it.
    Any pointers please.
    Thanks,

    In the environment I currently have access to do not have similar setup.
    Let say you setup the DFF1 default value to $HEADER.customer_name, the name of the DFF is CUSTOMER_NAME, description can be anything.
    In DFF2, default value should be a SQL, where you can reference the DFF1. For example, SELECT DECODE($FLEX.CUSTOMER_NAME, 'ABC', 1, 'DEF', 2, NULL) FROM dual
    In this case, you can reference the DFF1.

  • Generate PDF FORM with editable fields

    Hi,
    my requirement is to create a document wich has a number of fields which users can fill in. By default, these fields need to be filled in with the data from the database, but editable by the user, the rest of the document has to be non-editable. I'm looking to PDF Forms for this, but am open to other suggestions. I can't get the output to show such fields. Is it even possible?

  • Form with six field types. Firefox sends only the first type. Safari sends all.

    I use Ancestry.com. The 'advanced search' form has six data types - name, location, family member, etc, which are 'and'ed together. Starting about two weeks ago, the search function returned data from only the first data type, that is, if name and location are filled in, only name is returned; if location and family member are filled in, only location is returned. I am using a MacBook Pro running Yosemite. Firefox is version 33. Safari works without a problem but I prefer Firefox.

    You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
    You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
