Jitendra

hi henniger
Thanks for reply
you are absolutely right i have done a mistake .
The mistake was ,i have added a subform2 after the subform1 form, in which i am adding the rows dynamically , and i have set the property of subform2 that keep with previous. thats why it was happening when the no of rows in subform1 reaches at end of page since subform2 property is keep with previous and contents of subform2 are not able to fit on the current page then it will create a blank page and when in the subform1 no rows are not able to fit on current page it will do page break and subform 2 will be shifted to blank page..
for removing the mistake i unchecked the property keep with previous.

Jitendra

How to print page numbers in adobe form

Hi,
Can anybody tell me how to print page numbers in adobe form.
Thanks in advance
Chaitanya

Hi,
Yes the field page n of m is used normally for printing page numbers. But it won't display the current page of total pages by itself. You have to set the run time property to n (current page ) and m (Total number of pages). Carefully select the # (current page ) and ## (Total number of pages). Hope this works for you.
My requirement is to have the user control on current page. For Example:
Example for a Invoice with 5 PO items (stands on 2 pages) :
1st page is the letter : no page number
2nd page is the 1st page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
3rd page is the 2nd page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
4th page is the 1st page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
5th page is the 2nd page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
Presently i cam getting the current page number for page 4th as 3 / 2 and for 5th page 4 / 2. I could able to control the total number of pages from print program. But when i am printing the second copy (4th and 5th pages), I couldn't able to control the current page number. I need to initialize the Current page count (4th page ) as 1.
I have used the follwing java scripting:
this.rawValue = wv_pages - xfa.layout.page(this)
where wv_pages is total no of pages calculated from print program.
Please help me in this regard with some formcal or java scripting conditions.
Thank You,

Naresh.

Problem with new page triggering in ADOBE Forms

Hi all,
 I am workin on a Purchase Order adobe form. I have a requirement to dispay Other stipulation text after completion of all the information. The text should be displayed on a fresh new page. I can able to display the text on new page, but if the text is not there then its displaying a blank page. How to avoid this blank page.
Can anybody please help to solve this issue
 Thanks.
 Ranganadh.

It is because you are calling a NEW-PAGE in the main window and you have not mentioned which should be the next page. For that you need to Go to SE71==> Pages==>Standard Attributes==> Mention the Next page
Assign the same for both the pages !

Please mark points if you got solution.

Rearrange pages when printing adobe form with multiple master pages

Hello!
Good day to you all.
I have an issue in regards with printing my adobe form with multiple Master pages. I have 4 master pages:
1st master page: a
2nd master page: b
3rd master page: c
4th master page: d
all with different headers and footers all having the same contents (items). I don't have issue with one page content (it just prints 4 pages with different headers and footers). The issue comes out once the items exceed 1 page.
What happens is that the preview/print shows (example: 3-page item)
a1-a2-a3-b1-b2-b3-c1-c2-c3-d1-d2-d3.
What i need is to print these such that all 1st pages of the 4 master page to be printed first, then all the 2nd pages, then all 3rd pages. Please see below:
a1-b1-c1-d1-a2-b2-c2-d2-a3-b3-c3-d3
This is because we will be using carbonless copy paper during printing and it's possible that it would be printed on batch jobs. Please suggest ways to do this.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Best Regards,
abap_peer_dangs

Hi,
Is that requirement of multiple pages as groups only at the time of print or at print preview also...?
Can you have a Print button on this screen or you should be using the Abobe toolbar's Print button..?
Well if this on a click of a button in the form and the requirement is only at the time of print and not on print prieview I can have a JS script which does this...
Let me know if this suffice, I can try with a local file and send you the script.
@ Chris: I didn't understand what do you mean by reported, I was eager to hear and learn a solution from you may be a new approach which I am not aware of ...?
Cheers,
Sai.

Hi,
I think there is no way to do this, atleast for Adobe Designer v.7.0. But if you know XML or java scripting you can try that. I dont have much knowledge on it.
   However there is one way. Add dummy records in the table so that there are mulitple of 50 records for each employee. I have also heard that adobe designer 7.1 has some extra options. Please try that if possible.
Please let me know too if you find anything out. It will help me too..

Blank page when using Interactive Forms(Webdynpro thru Java)

While i was running the application using Interactive Forms iam getting Blank page.
Previously when i try to view the output, i can able to view it without any errors,suddenly what happened is iam knowing.
ADS was perfect,CredentialRights there,AdobeReader-7.0,ACF with SP11 installed and Active-X Controls Enabled.
Can i know where the problem exactly is?Is the problem from client side or server side or do i need any settings for IE6.0?

Hi Sankar,
Did you use NW04 SP11 before (with ACF) and upgraded to NW04S? Your ACF version you mentioned is for NW04S and not for NW04.
Also keep in mind that SAP changed the way Adobe forms are displayed (ACF will be replaced by the ZCI layout) - ZCI stands for Zero Client Installation. If you upgraded to 04S, you might need to change your forms as well (also the WD application).
On your interactive forms application (the webdynpro) are there any links outside the adobe form? What happens if you click on it? At our side we have created a customer message, since the ZCI form is not being displayed. We also get a white Adobe placeholder, and when we click on a link outside the placeholder, we see the Adobe PDF logo being displayed in the placeholder (placeholder = frame).
In your case: do you see a small red cross icon in the frame? That means ACF is not installed properly.

Performance issue with Adobe forms

Dear SAP Experts,
We have the following issue/requirement from our client. The client is on SAP ECC 6.0 - production environment.
The client is highlighting performance issue while accessing the adobe forms for HR and FI business process ( both static and interactive ).
                Examples are
    FI – Invoice Approvals
                HR – Job Salary Change
The client is asking us to provide best practices surrounding:
1.       How to improve the performance of the adobe forms while accessing in SAP.
2.       Is there any other technology which we can use in SAP to replace the adobe forms which has better performance factor.
3.       Are there solutions such as webdynpro floor plan manager, UI Fiori which can be alternately used?
Regards,
Sakthi

Hello Priya,
     Adobe forms are easy to develop and much more comfortable than SAP Scripts and Smartforms. Initially they are a bit difficult but once you have your hands on, they are the most simplest things in ABAP.
Performance in Adobe forms is a mix of both fine tuning the Layout as well as back end coding.
Performance in Adobe forms cannot be done overnight. A lot of care has to be taken during the initial stage of development.
As far as my experience is concerned, please consider the below points while developing SAP Adobe forms.
1) Avoid Scripting (Javascript/Formcalc) as much as possible inside the form. It drastically reduces the performance and makes the form to execute slower. If you still want to use scripting(which cannot be avoided for some requirements), use Formcalc since it is comparatively faster than JavaScript.
2) Try to avoid the coding inside the Form Interface. You can always handle the maximum coding in the Driver program and pass it to the form.
3) Use Form Caching.
For forms that have fixed layout, its a good way to increase the performance of form rendering. In the layout, go to Form Properties. Then Click on Defaults tab and select Allow Form Rendering To Be Cached On Server. Then Click OK.
For forms that have flowable or dynamic layout, render the forms on the client side because it improves performance.
Last but not the least, please go through the below post by Otto Gold which is worth a read at least once.

Browser page still open ,adobe form is closed

Hello ,
We are facing browser issue in Adobe Interactive forms.We are opening the form from a thirdparty portal and whenever we click on submit button the adobeform is closed but the browser is not getting closed.
Can someone suggest me where should i write the code to close te browser.Is it in Webdynpro,or thirdparty portal or in javascript.
We tried bothe the layouts i.e ZCI and ACFx.We are uisng Adobe 8.1 version.The Adobe is processed by Webdynpro for ABAP.
Please help me.
Regards,
Sridar

You can use an Exit Plug in Web Dynpro ABAP to close the browser window, but there is no tell what will happen if you call this functionality in another portal. The other portal could be running the WDA inside some frame and JavaScript access to the top frame might not be possible.

Issue with Adobe Form Layout

Hi,
I have an issue with the Adobe Form Layout.Although I have added a field in the Context Menu of the Form Builder but the context has not been added to the Data View.
Could you please help me to understand how to include the parameters and structures that we define in the context and add them to the Data View in layout?As far as I know, it is done automatically.But in this case I don't understand what the problem is.
Please help me.
Thanks,
Sandeep.
<MOVED BY MODERATOR TO THE CORRECT FORUM>
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Jul 14, 2009 4:10 PM

it is normally done automatically. Do ANY of your fields show in your DATA VIEW? Or, are you just missing the new one?
If you're only missing the new one, make sure your Context has the field defined correctly and generated.. Then make sure you have updated the mapping in your View Context and generated that.
After those 2 things, your field should now show.
You cannot, as far as I know, define an attribute as any sort of TABLE - we have a common structure that has several Table Types in it. When we import that structure, we have to delete those attributes and create Nodes to mimick those tables.
If you've accidentally included a Table type as an attribute, you won't see any fields in your Data View.
EDIT: by the way, there's an Adobe Interactive Forms Forum where you should ask these kinds of questions.

Changing Page size in Adobe forms

Hi Experts,
I am new to Adobe forms.I am creating a form whose size is very small with 11.6929In height and 8.2677In width.But i viewed some of the SAP standard reports for example FITP_PLAN_FORM ,the page size is 29.7cm and 21cm width the page type is A4.
I am also using the same page type as A4.Why is this difference? I am struggling to get the page size.
Can any one guide me plz..
Thanks&Regards,
Karthik.

Hi Karthik,
Keep in mind the Units you are comparing. By default, my adobe LiveCycle designer shows the units in inches:
so:
29.7cm = 11.7in , and
21cm = 8.3in
just a thought

How to change the page break in adobe forms

Does anyone know how to change the page break on an adobe form? I'm hoping it will be the same way you change the page view in excel.
Can anyone help?
Thank you in advance,
Priscilla

HI
 YOU CAN USE THE FOLLOWING SYSTEM FIELDS OF SMARTFORMS FOR THE MENTIONED PURPOSE
&SFSY-PAGE& 
 Inserts the number of the current print page into the text. You determine the format of the page number (for example, Arabic, numeric) in the page node.
&SFSY-FORMPAGES&
 Displays the total number of pages for the currently processed form. This allows you to include texts such as'Page x of y' into your output
&SFSY-JOBPAGES& 
 Contains the total page number of all forms in the currently processed print request.
