Can i use deep structures in Interactive form interface?

Hello
I am trying to assign a standard_SAP_deep_structure to DATA SOURCE (dataSource) of Adobe Interactive Form UI Element of my_view. System is activating fine. But, when i open the Form and its assoiated interface in SFP transaction (or dbl clicking from webdynpro), i did not see all tree branches components of that standard_SAP_deep_structure, i saw only first branch with out any subbranches!
In SE11, the standard_SAP_deep_structure looks like below,
standard_SAP_deep_structure
|
| 1st branch
     |
     | 2nd branch
          |
          | 3rd branch
But, when i saw the XML schema of the Form's interface, it looks like below
standard_SAP_deep_structure
|
| 1st branch
Thank you

Sorry, i did not understood the above answer, Any help pls? Thank you
I tried the that idea as below, but did not worked, still the 1st branch (node1) is not visible at all in rthe webdynpro piece
node1---------> my_z_structure_1
|
| node2---------> my_z_structure_2
Any other idea pls?

How can we use mode "UsePDF" in Interactive form?

Hello everybody,
I want to know that how can i use the mode usePdf in Interactive form?
My scenario is:
I have pdf form saved locally with blank fields.
I save this file after requied values in all fields.
Now i want to import this pdf file in interactive form and needs to submit this form so all the data in this pdf file are submitted to the System.
How can i do this?
regards,
Bhavik

Hi Bhavik,
you do not need to use the upload ui element, if your pdf-file which you want to upload resides in you web application project. In the following you can find Web Dynpro code snippets I use in one of my demos for displaying an uploaded pdf-file:
wdDoModifyView method of FormView:
    //@@begin wdDoModifyView
     try {
          // get interactive form element by ID
          InteractiveForm form = (InteractiveForm) view.getElement("Evaluation");
          if (wdContext.currentContextElement().getCurrentMode().equals("usePDF")) {
               form.setMode(WDInteractiveFormMode.USE_PDF);
     catch (Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
    //@@end
onPlugFromUploadView method of UploadView:
    //@@begin onPlugFromUploadView(ServerEvent)
     try {
          // modify the context and set needed attributes
          wdContext.currentContextElement().setCurrentMode( "usePDF" );
          // extend the attribute "pdfSource" from the context to a modifiable binary type
          IWDAttributeInfo attInfo = wdContext.currentContextElement().node().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("pdfSource");
          ISimpleTypeModifiable type = attInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
          IWDModifiableBinaryType binaryType = (IWDModifiableBinaryType) type;
          binaryType.setFileName("evaluationForm.pdf");
          binaryType.setMimeType(WDWebResourceType.PDF);
          // add the generated pdf to the context
          wdContext.currentContextElement().setPdfSource( evaluationForm ); // byte[] evaluationForm
     catch (Exception e) {
          wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportWarning(e.getLocalizedMessage());
    //@@end
If you do not want to display the data before submitting the data, then you have to use the WDInteractiveFormHelper class for extracting the form data after upload in the context. This class is available since NetWeaver04 Support Package Stack (SPS) 10. The class com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.api.WDInteractiveFormHelper contains at the moment one helper function for PDF document. Here are the details:
Constructor Detail
public WDInteractiveFormHelper()
Method Detail
public static void transferPDFDataIntoContext(byte[] pdfSource, IWDNode targetNode)
Method transferPDFDataIntoContext extracts data from a PDF document and copies the values into the Web Dynpro Context. The xml structure of the document data is applied starting from the specified target node. Usually, this node should be the same context node to which InteractiveForm-UIELement property dataSource is bound during PDF generation.
Parameters:
pdfSource - PDF document as byte[]
targetNode - target IWDNode
Hope this will help you,
Regards, Carsten

Can I use Visual Basic to covert form user data from multiple .pdf files to a single .csv file?

Can I use Visual Basic to covert form user data from multiple .pdf files to a single .csv file? If so, how?

You can automate Acrobat using IAC (InterApplication Communications), as documented in the Acrobat SDK. Your program could loop through a collection of PDFs, load them in Acrobat, extract the form data from each, and generate a CSV file that contains the data.
Acrobat can also do this with its "Merge Data Files into Spreadsheet" function, but this is a manual process.

Please can you provide documentation on SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe

Deep Structures in Adobe Forms

Are deep structures allowed within Adobe Forms?
I keep getting the error "Exception condition "TYPE_NOT_FOUND" raised" when I try to enter the form layout. In the context view, the deep structure is visible; however, the DATA segment of the nested table does not reveal the contents of that table. I have verified that all elements of the deep structure have been activated down to the domain level.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have never faced a depth limitation in Adobe forms. I have developed forms with 5-6 levels of data hierarchy, using tables of tables of tables and have not noticed any problem (except the performance:))).
I recommend to check the DDIC types used in the form. Something could have been deleted, altered or something.
I have also faced a problem when some fields could not have been used in form even if it was a proper standard SAP data type. Here I can recommend using your own type and map the standard fields which cause problems into your fields and next to the form.
You can debug your problem deactivating the nodes of the DDIC structures you use. Right-click in context on a element you want to deactivate. You can find the field which causes the problem this way.
Good luck, O.

Problem with deep structure in Adobe Forms

Hi ,
I am converting smartform into adobe forms. While converting the program code in the code initialization of the smart forms also get transformed to adobe forms the problem is my internal table is of type deep structure while passing it through the tables parameter i am getting error in adobe forms .But while passing the internal table through import parameter its not giving error.The same code works fine with smartforms. I dont know why its not taking the structure of internal table in adobe forms properly .It happens only for deep strucure formal normal tables it works fine in table parameters .If any one has come across this scenario please share your ideas.
Best Regards,
Sreeram

If I were you, I would never do this through any program. The only secure, reliable way is to rewrite everything by your own hands. Even if we could argue, your way works as well (and could be faster at the beginning), at the firt moment you will be asked to perform any tiny change in this "imported" thing, you will cry your eyes out (and understand why it is the only useful way to rewrite everything manually).

Use of pdfSource in Interactive Forms in webdynpro

hi,
please let me know the use of "pdfSource" property while designing the Interactive form in webdynpro. i tried with and without creating the pdfSource property in my application and still there were no errors while deploying it.
Thanks
Regards
Poojith M V

Hello Poojith M V,
Let me answer your query in a little bit more details. The statement first: An interactive form can be rendered with or without a pdfSource attribute.
But there are significant differences in the way they work and the application is designed. When you have the pdfSource bound to a context attribute of type binary, you do a PDF interchange between the browser and the server. The whole point is that you will always have the latest PDF document (binary) available in that context attribute on the server and you can make use of this binary PDF to do anything your apllication requires (saving it onto the file system, storing it into the database, performing some other operations on the server, email it etc etc etc).
Now, the other side of it, when you do not have the pdfSource bound to a context attribute, only XML exchange happens in between the browser and the server. Well, that means you only have the latest XML data available on the server at any point in time and since you have not bound the pdfSource, you do not have the binary PDF available to you through the context. There are ways you can get it but not through the context and not the latest one. It would still contain the initial data it had in the first request response cycle as you have not updated the PDF after that.
Now, the question is, which one to use ? It completly depends on your application requirements. There are certain functionalities which are not possible without having the latest PDF binary in hand. For example, you want to apply a digital signature on the document, you want to add an attachment on the document etc. But, then in most of the scenarios, the application would just need to exchange data between the client and the server (and vice versa) and do not worry about the binary PDF. That is the ideal case when you need not bind the pdfSource. It will be faster as well.
Hope that clarifies your doubt to certain extent. Go ahead and start with you interactive form application.

Krish

My problem is the data is not getting displayed at output,but when i print the size of the node the node is getting binded with data i.e the node size is not equal to Zero.what might be the problem.Please help with a reply .
Any kinds of tips are appreciaed.
Thanks,
Madhavi

hi,
thanks for your reply,
The cardinality of the datasource is 1:1 ,and the data is present and binded to the table node,i have traced it using MessageManager.
I am doing this in NW2004s.
I have also done it in NW2004,there i could able to display multiple rows,but what is the problem if iam doing in 2004s.
Will you please help me further regarding this issue.
Can you also please explain why to debug the application.

Which SDK can be used to "Create and manipulate forms"??

The ability to "Create and manipulate forms" is listed twice (and inconsistently) in this table:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/library/
(row 11 and row 17).
One of the entries probably refers to AcroForms and the other to XFA forms?
Can someone please clarify?
TIA,
-RFH

Thanks, Bernd.
I have a follow-up question. When I use Acrobat interactively, I can execute these commands:
- "Recognize text using OCR"
followed by:
- "Run form field recognition"
The commands above will create an AcroForm, correct? Is there any way to create an XFA form in a similar fashion?
Last but not least: can the two commands above be performed under "remote control" (i.e., programmatically with the SDK API)?
TIA,
-RFH

Can I use "Delete button" in intaractive form?

Hello Expert.
Please tell me the phenomenon of interactive form in Performance Management(MbO or OSA) .
I use "off line" solution.
Now our customer would like to delete button as delete some objectives who does not entry any comment.
Can I use this delete button in interactive form?
I cannot find the delete button in this form...
Best regards,

You should try the LiveCycle Designer forum, but from my experience with Acrobat forms it's not possible. What you can do is either save the file using the desired file name and path (without user interaction), if the script runs from a trusted context, or you can prompt the user with the desired file-name for the file, but not enforce them to use it, nor populate it into the Save As dialog itself.

Can we use global structure while designing a query on a multiprovider

hai friends,
If i build a multiprovider on cubes for which the query design on those cubes contains global sturctures ,
Can i use those global structures while designing a query on a multiprovider (which contains those cubes)

Hi Vamsi,
The structure from the base cubes will not automatically be available for the queries created on the multiprovider. The only way to get the structure there is to copy a query from the base cube to the multiprovider. You can use transaction RSZC to do this.
Hope this helps...

Using Rich Text in interactive form

Hi,
I am trying to enter rich text in a form and submitting it to a web dynpro application.
To achieve this I created a context attribute (type string) and mapped it through an interface with the form. In the form I created a text field (type XHTML). I unchecked the 'allow plain text only' option and unchecked the 'Allow multiple lines' option although multiple lines would be nice as my goal is to store a large block of rich formatted text.
When I press the submit button the form field is not synchronized with the wd application. Another (plain text) field works fine so I assume I have setup the interactive form ok. Please let me know what it is that I am doing wrong here. Or if it is not possible, let me know also.
Thanks,
Raymond

Hi,
No, not yet (I did not have time for it...). The next thing I will try is to modify my interface. At the moment I use a XML schedule based interface and I would like to try an ABAP based interface. Don't know if that will help but it is worth a try.
