Are in-app forms possible?

I am creating an app that has a short form (all text fields). The form will submit via email, no database involved.
I know I can create a web form and display the page within a frame, or call up a URL with a form, but I wonder if there is a way I can create the interactive form within the app. There are no tools in the overlay panel that I can see doing this.
I tried creating a form in InDesign, exporting as an interactive PDF, and bringing it back into the document, but it lacks interactivity when imported (the PDF does function fine within Acrobat as expected, however). Also tried skipping the PDF export and adding my InDesign form pages directly to the folio as an article. No luck there, either.
Am I missing something, or can this not be done? If not, it would seem to be a really useful addition to the overlay panel's capabilities.
Many thanks for any assistance.

What would be cool is an in-app PDF reader that can handle forms. Is any interactivity possible with a PDF form accessed via an HTMLResources file?

  • How are ePrint apps created and maintained?

    Just bougt a new small HP printer for my home office and discovered ePrint and apps support. And amazed, did not expect this technology in entry level small/home office type printers.
    And immediately new questions on what possibilities this opens up for printing applications
    What is required to create new apps?
    Is it possible to use this technology to add local office apps? I.e. to print site/office specific forms, trivial network interactions and maybe a bit more.
    Is subscription type apps supported/allowed, where the app is only available as part of a third party subscription package?
    A lot can be built around the email based ePrint service alone, but having ability to also do some simple interaction with the user at the printer would open for a wide range of new possible uses.

  • :system.last_record in Oracle Apps Forms

    Hi all,
    My requirement is when I give order number in header level in Oracle Apps Form, i want the lines to be displayed in lines block.
    I have written the query and a cursor.
    The Query returns 6 lines when passing the Order Number.
    But when i use the following code in forms, the form returns only one line in the lines block.
    BEGIN
    first_record;
    for i in xx_cur
    loop
    :REQUEST.CUSTOMER_NUMBER := i.party_number;
    :REQUEST.CUSTOMER_NAME := i.party_name;
    If :system.last_record = 'TRUE'
    Then
    Exit;
    ELSE
    next_record;
    End if;
    end loop;
    END;
    If i use the above code only the first line gets displayed in the form.
    If i didnt use the system_last_record condition the 6 lines are displaying.
    --If :system.last_record = 'TRUE'
    --Then
    --Exit;
    --ELSE
    next_record;
    --End if;
    end loop;
    END;
    Y the :system.last_record is not working.
    Please help me to solve this issue.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Jegan

    i'm assuming this is a non-database block? if so, you don't need FIRST_RECORD and :SYSTEM.LAST_RECORD is always true ...
    try
    BEGIN
        FOR i IN xx_cur
        LOOP
            IF :request.customer_number IS NOT NULL THEN
               CREATE_RECORD;
            END IF;
            :request.customer_number := i.party_number;
            :request.customer_name := i.party_name;
        END LOOP;
    END;

  • Why record had been unlock in Oracle Apps form?

    I have a problem with lock in oracle apps forms.
    The problem occurs with all forms in the Oracle Financials (forms with standard oracle apps user-exit), the problem does not occur with standard Oracle default form (outside of the oracle apps, form without user-exit included in Oracle Financials).
    For exemple, I will take the Define Lookups forms.
    If USER1 modify a record (ex. modify the date from), the record is locked, if USER2 try to update the same record in an other session, he will received an error message indicating that the record is locked and he will not be able to update it. This is normal.
    But ..., if USER1 WAIT 1 minute, and just press TAB to go to an other field (WITHOUT SAVING, WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING ELSE), the record is unlock.
    USER2 can modify the same record without having the locked message. This is the problem, USER2 should receive an error message because USER1 did not save the record yet but the message do not appear. At this moment USER2 lock the record. If USER1 press SAVE key, his session will be freeze until USER2 save the record.
    Why the record had been unlock for USER1 session?
    My Oracle Apps version is 11.5.5.
    Does somebody ever seen this problem ?
    Thanks.

  • Oracle Apex to Oracle Apps Forms migration

    Is it possible to migrate a form exsisting in Oracle Apex to Oracle apps forms?If so pl tell me how this could be achieved.

    Hey men!!
    In my opinio in not posible because in oracle Apex you have another kind of programming, and in Oracle forms you others type of tools for example: triggers, I said isn'tr posible because there isn't a tool or an application that can help you in convert from Apex to Form, it's very extrange circumstance.
    This is posible but... you have to program, typing and all of anything for converting to Oracle Form if you don't want to do anything you have to pay someone for developing that ,
    in others words you have/must (to) start from the beginning,
    from zero.
    Unfortunately today there is not application that can let you do that.
    I hope this helps,
    Best Regards my buddy.

  • How can I use pdf pack to convert cubase documents  (music scores)  into pdfs? I am looking for the former possibility to install acrobat like a printer but i don't have this option with "pdf pack". Can you help?

    How can I use pdf pack to convert cubase documents  (music scores)  into pdfs? I am looking for the former possibility to install acrobat like a printer but i don't have this option with "pdf pack". Can you help?

    Hi mariab,
    What format are those music scores (I'm not familiar with cubase documents). But, it may be that Adobe PDF Pack doesn't support that format. In that case, Acrobat is the way to go. You can then print your files to PDF as you'd like. You're welcome to try Acrobat for free for 30 days to see whether it's going to work for you. If you decide it is, and you'd like to use it going forward, you could convert your PDF Pack subscription into an Acrobat subscription.
    Best,

  • Displaying Discoverer report through Apps Form

    Hi all,
    I have a question as to, is it possible to call a discoverer report created in discoverer desktop and which is stored in the database., from an Oracle Apps form using the following method
    WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(url,target).. and if yes what url needs to be passed.
    Thnx

    If you have a 11.5.10 instance with Advanced Supply Chain Planning setup (of a Vision Instance), apply 4103334 PLANNING DETAIL REPORT FOR MSC PATCHSET J
    Then look at the function MSCPLDTL_DISC, it makes a call with Parameters Workbook=MSC_PLAN_DET_REP_WB&Parameters=Sheet~1*, of Type SSWA plsql function and HTML call OracleOasis.RunDiscoverer.
    The form that launches the Discoverer report is MSCPLDTL.fmb.

  • Best Way to Aggregate Multiple Announcement Apps and Possibly External RSS Feed

    Hello,
    I have two separate announcement apps (one in sub-site A, and one is sub-site B). I am trying to create a webpart that will display content from both apps together.
    I have tried to setup a CSWP and have been able to set the query to pull in the data (Although it shows expired announcements, which I would need to eliminate). Now, I am trying to customize the display of the CSWP, including the property mapping values
    to display the announcement title (currently working with the URL as a link) and body (truncated like the announcement summary view if possible).
    How can I get the body from the announcement to display? The 'body' field isn't listed as an option in the drop down list of mapping values. Do I need to toggle an option on the separate announcement apps, create a column, map a field, or some combination?
    Also, I'd like to know if it is possible to add in an external RSS feed. Or, if there is a completely different way to approach and accomplish this, please let me know.
    Thank you

  • Hi, I've checked how to use kannada keyboard in Yosemite. But, there are some 'vattu forms' and other grammar in Kannada language that I don't know how to use it. For eg, Preetiya taatanige nimma muddu mommagalu maduva namaskara? How to write this?

    Hi, I've checked how to use Kannada keyboard in Yosemite. But, there are some 'vattu forms' and other grammar in Kannada language that I don't know how to use it. I know how to change between the keyboards and can also view keyboard. However, For eg, 'Preetiya taatanige nimma muddu mommagalu maduva namaskara' How to write this? If anybody can answer this, very much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for your reply.

    In general, you need to use the "f" (kannada qwerty keyboard) or "d" key (kannada) between letters to make special forms.  Also you may need to adjust the typography settings of the font, which is done by doing Format > Font > Show Fonts > Gear Wheel > Typography as shown below.  If you can provide screenshots or more detailed info on things you cannot make, I can perhaps help.
    It is important to note that MS Word for Mac does not support Indic scripts -- any other app should work OK.

  • Migrate Oracle Apps Forms to J2EE

    Hi,
    I need to migrate Oracle Apps(11i) Forms to J2EE.
    I went through Oracle Partners who provide these migration tools but none provides trial version to test/use.
    How do I migrate forms.
    Or is there any way so that I can replace forms with my custom screens?
    Need your help.

    Its probably too long an answer to write here but I always like to start with the WHY?
    The one thing that is fact is that this will cost you considerable time and effort so you have to be very clear on your reasons. Furthermore, there is no "magic bullet". There is no tool or solution that can "with one click" migrate your application - unless your application is Emp/Dept of course ;o)
    You also have to seriously consider the need (infact I would say REQUIREMENT) that any migration MUST rearchitect. A Forms app and a J2EE app are very different, if you don't re-architect then you are re-implementing Forms in Java (in which case, why bother).
    If you go to http://otn.oracle.com/goto/formsmodernize there is information that we in Oracle see as the most likely approach to succeed - which is retain an investment in Forms while you build up skills/services/functionality in your new system
    I'd suggest spending a couple of hours reading this information and then if you have further questions you can come back to us.

  • Reusing oracle apps forms

    Hi,
    Is there a way that we can add more functionality to an
    already existitng Oracle Apps form without remaking it from
    scrap?
    Please let me know.......
    TIA
    vamsi

    Yes, all of the fmb files are stored somewher in your APPL_TOP
    tree, I think. They're out there though. Keep in mind that
    there are specific recommended methods on changing the default
    functionality of a form. Oracle will also not support your
    modifications. There is a 5 day Oracle Education course that
    specifically details how to accomplish what you're trying to
    do. "11i Extend Oracle Applications: Forms", Class 14464.

  • Adding a  value to an LOV in an Oracle apps form

    Hi Guys
    Im new to forms and customizations in apps as im sure will be apparent with the questions i have :-)I have a requirement to add a value to an LOV on a field in an oracle apps form.
    My question is
    1: How do i get the lov query?
    2: How do i edit an existing query.
    3: How can i solve this problem.
    Thanks

    Since you are working with the E-Business Suite, most likely the LOV is based on a Value Set. I strongly recommend you confer with a coworker for guidance on how to investigate an Oracle EBS Form. Value Sets are defined within the EBS setup screens and you have to be assigned to a responsibility that will allow you to modify and create Value Sets. I also strongly recommend you visit the Oracle Applications Documentation web site and review the Oracle Applications Developer's Guide and Oracle Applications User Interface Standards for Forms-Based Products for your particular version of the EBS.
    Also, the General EBS Discussion is the more appropriate forum to post this type of question.
    Hope this helps.
