Change font in Adobe Form in the interface

Hi all,
I have one issue changing the font in adobe forms.
In the interface I have as import one string. With this string I have to generate the PDF and I need to change the font.
Here is an example:
Import string: "this is an [[FONT=CURIEL]]example of [[N]] adobe [[SIZE=15]] forms"
the characters [[ ]] indicate an scape sequence.
[[FONT=CURIEL]] means that all the following text should be in curiel font.
[[N]] means new line
[[SIZE=15]] menas that all the following text should be in size 15.
All this text I has to be added to a string variable and paste in the PDF.
I know that I can add a new line with "cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline"
I know that with Javascrit I can change the font and the size, but for that I have to change all the text.
Is there any way to change some text inside the variable and not all of it?
Thanks!
Regards,
Andres

Hi UmaS,
Thanks for your answer.
I can't use floating text because I don't know how many different fonts I will have and I can't create floating text dynamically.
Any other idea?
Thanks,
Regards,
Andres.

I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it. help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks

I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it.
Is it not possible to create a text box, fill it with dynamic (data driven) text, but make the font size either scale up or down automatically, so that the entire text box is filled? This is a feature in PrintShop Mail Pro called COPY FIT. but no such feature in Indesign??
help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks, DJ

lol... it seems to work, but I have another huge problem!
Apparently .CSV files cannot contain page breaks in the data! The data I am trying to merge is a 'letter', with paragraphs, line breaks, etc.,
But, after data merging, it ignores page breaks and only merges the first paragraph of each letter. (sigh)
Solution? Hopefully, an EASY solution. lol as we have thousands of records.
Is there a third party indesign plugin that will allow .xml, or .xls data merge import??
Thx,
DJ

How to print Adobe Forms without the black/gray backgrounds in the side columns

How can we print Adobe Forms without the black/gray backgrounds in the side columns? We are wasting a lot of ink printing out these forms and would like to have simply black ilnes to distinguish columns and black lettering, but no background colors. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am not positive what you are printing from but I am thinking it is from the View Responses tab with a response row selected and then shown in "Detail View" and that the column of field names has a dark grey background...
To change the color of the column headers select the row of headers (do this by clicking on the first dark grey header field and then scroll to the last one and shift+click on the last one), then in the "Text" tools change the text color to Black and the Fill color to white:
(Selected the header cells)
Changed the text/font color to black and the fill color to white
Now you can see the detail view does not have the dark grey.
Thanks,
Josh

Adobe Form with XML interface cannot retrieve all data from SAP

hi all
I want to use the Adobe forms for the real estate module.
I had seen that adobe forms can have an interface with XML input and output as parameter.
In the interface type only the /DOCPARAMS an the DOCXML are INPUT parameters which are available.
No other INPUT parameter can be added to it.
When i try to retrieve the data in real estate there are some default function modules for retrieving the data from real estate.
But this function modules also are going to find out if the form which asks for this information has a IMPORT parameter
for the required data. For example, the SENDER data is retrieved, but before the default function module retrieve this data
the function module checks if the form has a INPUT parameter SENDER.
And that is not the case. And i cannot create the SENDER parameter to it, because this INTERFACE type does not allow it.
Does anybody know a solution herefore?
kind regards,
Anton Pierhagen

Hi Bhaskar
It is a long time ago, almost 2 years.
I created my own custom development for calling the Adobe form. This custom development uses the correct function module interface with the IMPORT XML.
The XML which i sent as IMPORT PARAMETER to the form is also created by own custom development. Via the default XML class of SAP
So that was my solution
Kind regards,

Change content in adobe forms of Print Preview in Appointment screen

Hi ,
I have a requirement in which I have to change content of adobe forms which comes after clicking on Print Preview in Appointment screen,
I am new to Smart forms and Adobe forms , request expert suggestion onto this.
Thanks.

Try opening in Chrome or Firefox and inspecting the elements. You can turn easily locate the CSS that's driving the background and experiment with settings. You get there by right clicking on an element and select Inspect Element from the options. It's much easier than trying to go through all of that HTML code without a style sheet to go along with it.

Problems!: calculated fields in Adobe Forms using the ISR/PCR framework.

Hi there,
I have made an Adobe form in the ISR framework. Everybody who is familiar with these forms in the framework knows that the adobe form is embedded in a standard webdynpro which consist of a roadmap with three steps.
Step 1: Fill out the form
Step 2: Check and fill the form
Step 3: Submit the form. After submit the form can be send to a manager or can be directly processed in SAP HR.
Problem 1:
When I test the adobe form and fill in a number in a field and click on next everything goes fine. But when I click on previous step the value which I filled in before is gone and put to 0,00.
Problem 2:
Also another problem is that calculated fields, do not show directly when clicking on next step. When you click on next step and then previous step, then you see the value of the calculated field.
Problem 3:
Also another problem is with the calendar function. When I fill in a date by hand and click on next the BADI behind the form sees 00-00-0000. When I use the calendar function everything goes well.
Who can help me with these 3 problems.
Greetings.

Hi Phil,
Interesting - I have a similar issue. We want to use the Request for Transfer scenario in ERP 2005, but it has not been developed in Adobe forms by SAP yet (it isn't available in 2004 either)! So, we have decided to use the old JSP PCRs instead.
Your issue is probably because you're using the same 2005 iviews to create your PCRs. The 2005 PCR iviews are written in WebDynpro, and appear to assume that each one will be an Adobe form! If you assign the old PCR iviews to your manager (give them the old MSS role under Migrated Content->EP5.0... in the pcd if you have it installed), you will be able to create a PCR with the JSP forms (regardless of the "Entry in Web" setting in QISRSCENARIO).
The next issue is the approval. In 2005, transaction SWFVISU has task TS50000075 configured as Java Webdynpro. You'll need to change that to iView, and specify ID = com.sap.pct.hcm.isrdispatcher.default. I'm following the UWL item type guide for this at:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/b1/cc1357eead454bb144face4a66be7d/content.htm
Having said this, my approval is not working! The item type has clearly changed, because the workitem name is no longer a hyperlink (rather annoying), but when I hit the "Launch Task Page" button (default name I think) I get the error:
"Unable to perform action because the system returned an invalid URL"
I can't see this "invalid url" anywhere in the logs, so I can't see where it is getting it from, or what path, etc I'm meant to put! In your old system, what did you have as the "Server for ISR call" under "Additional Data for Scenario" in QISRSCENARIO? Also, what did you have in the "URL" box that appears under the Additional Data for Scenario button when you change the Entry Type to JSP?
Many thanks,
Russell.

Insert the 'Interactive Form' UI element in the desired view.
And bind its 'pdfSource' property to the context atribute pdf source. Optionally, you can set height and width of the form.

Attach 2 adobe form with the first adobe form

Hi All,
Can we merge the multiple adobe form into a single adobe form in CRM.
I appended both the adobe form content in a single internal table and tried to download PDF file using FM "GUI_DOWNLOAD" I was able to see only the first form. Could any one guide to solve this issue.
Regards,
S.Balaji.

Hi Balaji,
You can concatenate more than one form together if you us Adobe-forms for the processing. Just have a look inside the functiongroup. It is very similar to the Smartforms solutions...
Of course, you have to process the pdf-forms by yourself and not want to concatenate given ones, but that should be the case.

Change title for Adobe form for PO in subsequent print of the form

Hi experts,
I am printing PO output using a customized adobe form using me21.I have a requirement that if the PO has been printed once any subsequent print should print with change in the title.How to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.

Hello ,
You can identify whether a PO is output for display or for actual O/P using the Tcode ME9f.
SAP identifies this by a parameter in nast
To check whether it is PO modification or new print
IF nast-aende = 'X'.
g_mod = 'X'.
ENDIF.
Through Me9f , you have 2 buttons 'Display Message' & 'Output message' . If you press Output message the actual Print command is triggered and in the driver program of PO you get value of AENDE as 'X'.
You can identify whether it is PO creation or PO change.
Also with customization in SPRO for the changed elements ,you can track the changes done in PO using table t166t.

Radhakrishnan

Changing fonts in interactive form fields

I have created a form in Acrobat Professional 8 containing various form fields to be filled in. I want the end user to be able to change the font and colour of the text in each form field before printing it out. The end user will be using Adobe Reader - not Acrobat.
How can I do this? Also, can it be done so that users can open and edit the pdf in Adobe Reader 6, or would it have to be a later version?
Any help or suggestions much appreciated.
Thanks,
Emma.

I have figured out how to do this at long last - no thanks to Adobe customer support who told me it can't be done - and the answer was simple as I suspected... To enable users to edit the attributes of text in a text field in Adobe Reader you simply need to check the 'allow rich text formatting' box on the Options tab of the text field properties when you create the text field in Acrobat. Then once the pdf is opened in Reader, simply Control + E to bring up the properties tool palette and you can change font, colour, size, spacing etc.
Thought I would just post this in case anyone else is trying to do the same thing.

How to use MICR fonts in Adobe forms (webdynpro java

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to print some MICR codes (for checks) through Adobe Forms.
I have installed some true type MICR fonts in windows and Adobe Font Manager (in ADS) as well.
It is visible in the Adobe Form design time (Font palette) and when I use the font for text, it is visible in preview too. But when I run the web dynpro application, in the online form it is converted into Standard font (Times new Roman).
Is there anyway to handle this issue.
Please let me know.
I am using NWDS 7.0.1
Adobe Live cycle designer 7.1
SAP NW 2004s SP14
Thank you,
Vasu

Problem with Helve font in Adobe forms

Hi Gurus,
I am working on an Adobe form.It contains Helve Font size 10 and 14. But I am not able to find Helve Font in the font pallette while creating that form in live cycle designer or in SAP. Is there any option to add fonts? How can I make Helve font availanle? Or is there any other alternative?
Awaiting your valuable answers.
Thanks,
Raje.

Hi Raj,
As Harman says, font must be installed on your computer at design time.
And if you want to use the font at runtime, the font must be available to the ADS.
Just take a look at:

Change font in Adobe Acrobat Extended Pro

I was wondering how I am able to change the font in Adobe Acrobat. I know we can use the type writer, but how can I make it my own font, color and size? Please help! =)

You cannot create fonts with Acrobat.
Doing so requires a dedicated font creation application.
Or purchas of Fonts to augment what the OS and applications install.
To change fonts in a PDF to something else that is on the local machine and available to Acrobat you could try this:
Select characters with the TouchUp Text too.
Right click for the context menu.
Select Properties.
Select the Text tab.
Look over the configuration options to see if they meet your needs.
Be well...

Changing Font in Adobe reader?

I was doing some pages, in which I can enter the information. The problem when I got to some of the places, is the font was to large in adobe reader? I looked at preferences and could not find any area to change the size of font, so it would fit properly?
Appreciate any help. This is adobe reader 8.1.2
thanks Bruce

Adobe Reader is used for displaying PDF files. PDF files are intended to be an accurate representation of the original document so changing font size isn't normally a feature of PDF readers.
You're probably thinking of EPUB or Kindle files. EPUB readers and Kindles let you change font size.
In a PDF, you need to zoom in on the text to view it larger. Use the normal way of doing it on an iPad: Spreading your fingers on the screen increases your zoom magnification. Closing your fingers on the screen decreases your magnification.
