Button Action if Forms

I have created a form with a Submit Button. The action in submit is to email the form. I have set it up to send as an attachment the entire PDF file. This works perfectly. Here is my question: I have set the visibility to be visible but not print and when printing that works fine. When the file attaches to an email the buttons are visible on the sent form. Is there any way to have the buttons not visible on the attached file when sending by email?

preSubmit event will get triggered just before the form is being submitted.
Why don't you hide this button using JavaScript code before submitting the form?

Submit button from Adobe form doesn't trigger action???

Hi all,
the submit button within Adobe form doesn't trigger any action that i wrote. it happens to my machine, but it doesn't happen on some of my colleague's machines.
i am using Adobe reader 8, when the first time i use IE to display the app, it prompts me to install some kind of activeX plug in, and after it installed, it told me that some setting is not correct, and it mentioned about adobe reader 6 or 7.
will downgrade to 6 or 7 solve this problem? is there any other walkaround for it?
thank you!

If you are on Netweaver 2004s SP9 or higher, you could change the displayType property of InteractiveForm UI element to "Web Dynpro Native" and use the submit button from "Native" tab.
If you are any other lower version, you dont have a choice but to use "activeX" which requires Active Component Framework (ACF) to communicate with server. You need to use button from "Web Dynpro ActiveX" tab. You need to install the right version of ACF (SAP Note 766191). Better if you use Adobe Reader 8.1.2.

Creation of UI elements on click of a button in ADOBE form

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement which is ,
on the ADOBE form after pressing some action Button i need to create a row of UI elements like Textbox label and Radio button with the values coming from Backend WDA application.
Number of rows created are equivalent to number of times button is clicked.
Also in some cases i have to preload the rows with the existing data.
Please let me know if this requirement can be accomplished in ADOBE form.
Any inputs ,Suggestion and help will be very helpful.
Thanks,
Siddharth

Thanks for the help,
I resolved this by creating elemnts in WD context on click of a button in ADOBE form,And in form i used the WD context structure as a table with required cell editors.
PDF form should be of type dynamic in this case.

How do I create a submit button for my form? I would like it to send the completed PDF to an email address

Hi everyone,
I recently upgraded to Adobe XI and I can't find a "submit by email" button for my form. I created a button and tried to set up some actions but, I can only get the button to direct the user to a URL. How do I make it send the completed PDF to our designated company email address? I'm not too familiar with JAVASCRIPTS so I haven't tried that plus I heard it may not work with users with adobe reader.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

Thanks for the input. I think you might have a different version of LiveCycle than the copy I have since it looks a little different. However, I found the answer in Adobe help. I had to type "mailto:" before the email address to indicate it's an email and not a URL. See below.
To collect form data as attachments to email, type mailto: followed by the email address. For example, mailto:[email protected]

Very Urgent! Print Report output to local printer on button click in form

In Sales Order Form there is a print receipt button. In current situation On Clicking the 'Print Receipt Button' it submits a XML Publisher report(PDF output) to the concurrent manager. Currently to print that report i need to go view--> requests--> view output and then print. According to my new Requirement i need to print that report directly to local printer on one simple Print receipt button click in form.
I am trying to call the printers on server using custom.pll. The report is running successfully but it is not printing output to the local printer. I need to print the report to the local printers based on responsibility. Local printers are available on apps server. Can anyone help me on this issue ASAP.
Is it possible to print the document using custom.pll? Is there any other alternative to print the report on simple button click in form.
Environment: Apps 11.5.10.2, Forms 6i
Here is the code that i am using in my custom.pll.
if (v_form_name = 'OEXOETEL' --and v_block_name = 'LINES_SUMMARY'
     and name_in('parameter.ACTIONS') = 'PAYMENT_RECEIPT' )THEN
l_organization_id := Name_In('PARAMETER.OE_ORGANIZATION_ID');
l_order_header_id := Name_In('ORDER.header_id');
select to_number(oe_sys_parameters.value ('SET_OF_BOOKS_ID')) into l_sob_id from dual;
xml_layout := FND_REQUEST.ADD_LAYOUT('XXAFP','XXAFPOEXPMTRCRTF','en','US','PDF');
select a.profile_option_value
into v_printer_name
from fnd_profile_option_values a
, fnd_profile_options b
, fnd_profile_options_tl c
, fnd_user fu
where a.profile_option_id = b.profile_option_id
and c.profile_option_name = b.profile_option_name
and fu.user_id (+) = a.level_value
and c.language = 'US'
and c.user_profile_option_name='Printer'
and a.level_id = 10003 ;
if (FND_SUBMIT.SET_PRINT_OPTIONS(v_printer_name, 'Portrait', 2, TRUE, 'N'))
     then
l_new_request_id := FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('XXAFP','XXAFPOEXPMTRC',
null,null,FALSE,l_sob_id,l_organization_id,NULL,NULL,l_order_header_id,
chr(0), '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '',
end if;
fnd_message.set_string('Request Submitted for Custom Payment Receipt. Request ID is '||l_new_request_id);
fnd_message.show;
copy('NULL','parameter.ACTIONS');
IF (l_new_request_id = 0) THEN
FND_MESSAGE.RETRIEVE;
FND_MESSAGE.ERROR;
else
l_commit_result := APP_FORM.QuietCommit;
END IF;
I need to complete this requirement immediately. Can anyone suggest me better ways in doing this.
Thanks,
Srinivas

I solved this problem myself using shell script through custom.pll. I wrote shellscript and called that shellscript through FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST.It printed 2 copies to local printer.

Re: no action got executed corr to SubmitToSap button of Interactive forms
Thanks
Siva Arikatla

Is there any way to disable printing in adobe reader in the file menu and ctrl + P, but still be able to print with a button on the form?

I am creating a form, but want to restrict the printing to function only by using a button on the form itself and not by using ctrl + p or the File menu. Is this possible?

It is pretty hard to shut off a system level action like the "Crtl/Optn" + P print method. This is a system level feature because it is a standard in all applications. Think about what could happen if you turned off this feature in a given application and that application failed and did not restart this feature.
Look at the "Will Print" document action. This runs no matter how the print action is started.

Multiple Submit buttons on one form

I'm developing an application that will have 4 buttons at the bottom of the form to do various things with the form information. One of the buttons will link to a separate web page for confirmation of the action. I tried to set a global variable and place an onclick event for the button which assigns a specific value for that variable. I then placed a <jsp:forward tag in my code that would be included if the global variable was the specific value which the button changes it to. I"m not sure if I'm being clear here. There is the forms page with the 4 buttons. It possesses all of this code. So the global variable is declared at the top. The variable is set if the 'Delete' button is clicked. And further down there is an if statement used to include the <jsp:forward tag when the 'Delete button has been pressed and this form is again being drawn up.
What I describe doesn't work. The global variable I guess is reset when this form is drawn up a second time after the 'Delete' submit button is pressed. I''m not married to the way that I'm solving this problem at this point so I'll take any suggestions. But basically I want the Web Forms fields to be sent to this delete jsp so that I can confirm the command to delete the indicated record from the database. The three other buttons on this form are 'Add/Update', 'Rename', and 'Cancel'. The Add/Update and Rename buttons should also be submit buttons but they should link back to the same page as they are located on. The cancel button is to return the user to the index page. I have this working using a document.location.href command in the onclick event for that button.
Brian

Hi Brain. If I'm following your thoughts, you may want to consider replacing the four sumbit buttons with four radio control buttons and one submit button.
I would suggest that you set your form action via a radio control button then, thru the form action, pass the form to a Servlet or JSP that contains some logic.
<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 3.2 final//en">
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>

<form action='ServletOrJSPNameHere' method='post'>
<br> <input type='radio' name='formAction' value='Delete'>Delete
<br> <input type='radio' name='formAction' value='Add/Update'>Add/Update
<br> <input type='radio' name='formAction' value='Rename'>Rename
<br> <input type='radio' name='formAction' value='Cancel'>Cancel
<br> <input type='submit' value='submit'>
<form>
</body>
</html>
// this code would go into your Servlet, JSP, or worker class
String formAction = request.getParamger("formAction");
// test for null value
if ( formAction == null ) {
     // reload the page with a message to pick a radio button
else if ( formAction.equals("Delete") {
   doTheDeleteProcessing();
else if ( formAction.equals("Add/Update") {
   doTheAdd/UpdateProcessing();
else if ( formAction.equals("Rename") {
   doTheRenameProcessing();
else {
   doTheCancelProcessing();
}I hope this helps.

Three buttons in a form

Hi,
I have three buttons in a form. Each button passes control to a different servlet when clicked. The problem is it is not passing any parameters when button is clicked. When i used the buttons individually everything works fine, the parameters are received correctly. Could anyone tell me what the problem might be.

I can't understand how its possible for it to work with one button if your doing it in the same way, because you are not submitting your form, you are simply going to a new url. Its like typeing it into the address bar.
try these things to fix it
1. Name your form
<Form method="post" name="myform">
2. Instead of doing
window.location = "url";
do
document.myform.submit();
3. In your if/else decision change the action value of the form to the appropreate value.
So, your javascript method should look something like this.
function sendToServlet(buttonPressed)
if(buttonPressed == 1)
    document.myform.action = "/servlet/add.class";
else
if(buttonPressed == 2)
    document.myform.action = "/servlet/delete.class";
else
if(buttonPressed == 3)
    document.myform.action = "/servlet/update.class";
document.myform.submit();
}BTW, the approach from neville would be alot easier to implement on both client and server side, thats the way I'd do it. :-)
Hope this helps

How do I make a button onj the form which will submit and send the pdf as an email?

how do I make a button on the form which will submit and send the pdf as an email?

You can set up a button with a "Submit a form" action and use a mailto type URL to specify the email address you want the forms sent do. If you want to send the entire PDF, select that option and not FDF or anything else. The mailto URL should not include any spaces and the "mailto" part should be lowercase, like:
mailto:[email protected]
This will attempt to initiate an email using the users default email client. If the user does not have one set up or there is some other problem, the email might not get initiated. If it needs to work with Reader versions prior to 11, then the form needs to be Reader-enabled, which you do in Acrobat 11 by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

How to handle more than one button in a form?

Hello Java fans,
I am new to Servlets. I am facing a problem in java servlet. I tried to place two buttons in the form. Both buttons has to invoke different servlets. How to associate action to each button?
Thanks in advance,
SMVEL

Give each button a different name so that you can check which button is clicked.
<input type="submit" name="button1" value="Press this button to invoke servlet1">
<input type="submit" name="button2" value="Press this button to invoke servlet2">
Then in your controller servlet:
if(request.getParameter("button1") != null){
//button1 is pressed.
//forward to servlet1.
else if(request.getParameter("button2") != null){
//button2 is pressed.
//forward to servlet2.
}

Submit button (Action)

I was curious if there was a way to have two (or more actions) connected to a submit button. With the action tool, I know I am limited to one. is it that way if I create a javascript?

<form action="xxx.php" method="post">
email: <input type="text"><br>
<button type="submit">Submit Now</button>
</form>
This form action stands for submit button action. It may be either a PHP scipt that is connected to a database or an email account.

Command buttonCommand = new Command("Button command", Command.ITEM, 1);

Button actions not called.

I have a fairly complicated edt page (lots of data entry components and 3 tables) with a save and a reset button. Somewhere along the line the button actions stopped being called when I click a button in the browser. The buttons' Events-Action properties are set properly. I have a breakpoint set on the first line of the action method, but in debug mode I never get to the breakpoint.
I even added a new button with its own action but it does not get called either.
No virtual forms. I've run Clean and Build on the project. Stopped and started the server, closed and reopened the IDE. Nothing changes.
I created a new test page with a single button. It works fine.
Any other ideas?

Do you have a message group component on the page?
If the page was working but now has stopped, it could be that some component is not passing conversion or validation. If you don't have a message associated with the component or a message group component on your page, and some component is generating a runtime error, you won't know about it.
Also, if you right-click the server node and choose View Server Log, you can see if the server is emitting any runtime error messages.

Two buttons in Adobe Form

Hello,
I am using Netweaver 2004s SP10. Does any body know how to incorporate two buttons in a Adobe Interactive Form. I want to insert approve button and reject button with different actions for each button.
Moreover, How can we remove the toolbar buttons in the adobe form at runtime. since they occupy a major portion of area. How to reomve the print, save, all these buttons.
Thanks, any help is appreciated.
Sunita.

hi Sunita,
as far as i have seen it...
we have two types of buttons that are accesible in WebDynpro.
GOTO interactive form->edit->Library tab->web dynpro tab
1).Submit to SAP and 2).Check.
these two buttons and their corresponding events and actions are available in Web Dynpro when the form is available online(ONLINE scenario).
you can change the text on these buttons to ur requirement like "APPROVE" or "REJECT" in the form editor.
now these two buttons in the form will just act like buttons in Web Dynpro layout.
in the properties of the interactive form you can see events for these....
now you can go to implementation and write as desired code.
the code for rejecting and approving the form...
(You must be knowing that the contents of the form are available in the ONLINE scenario in the corresponding CONTEXT attributes of the form for use in dynpro
ie when online you can modify the contents of the Form by working on dynpro Context attributes like getAttribute(), or setAttribute(). )
