Change the Filename of an Interactive Form

We have a SmartForms PDF displayed in an INTERACTIVE_FORM. Is there any way to change the filename? When our users save the PDF it is always called "F.PDF" which is a bit silly.

Hi Marc,
Unfortunately, there's no possibility to change the name when the PDF is displayed with the interactiveForm UI element.
Alternatively - depending on your EhP level - you could use the iframe UI element to display the PDF. The Adobe Reader proposes the name given in the URL.

Still can't change the font in Indesign CC forms?

We have just upgraded and it seems that Indesign CC still does not have the capability to change the font when creating interactive forms.... correct me if I'm wrong, but if I'm right Adobe can you please implement this for the next version – very frustrating :-/

Changing field values in a Interactive form

I am trying to modify the fields of a Interactive form after the user presses the go button. The following code appears in my onSubmit method.
IPrivateIntPDFv1View.IPDFDataElement element = wdContext.nodePDFData().createPDFDataElement();
element.setForename("Wrighty08");
wdContext.nodePDFData().bind(element);
When I then get the byte[] in the following code it does not have the changes I made above however the changes do appear on screen when the program finishes. Any ideas?
IPrivateIntPDFv1View.IContextElement contextElement = wdContext.currentContextElement();
ByteArrayInputStream byteInput = new ByteArrayInputStream(contextElement.getPDFObject());
Thanks,
Ellis

I am trying to get the byte[] with the new values set. The implementation of the byte[] retrieval is in the submit-method. But just before I get the byte[] I am trying to change some values in the interactive form.
So first I run this code to change the value of a given field in the interactive form.
IPrivateIntPDFv1View.IPDFDataElement element = wdContext.nodePDFData().createPDFDataElement();
element.setForename("Wrighty08");
wdContext.nodePDFData().bind(element);
Then I get the byte array as follows.
IPrivateIntPDFv1View.IContextElement contextElement = wdContext.currentContextElement();
ByteArrayInputStream byteInput = new ByteArrayInputStream(contextElement.getPDFObject());
The problem is that the changed values are not in the byte[].
Thanks,

Changing the filename in Photoshop Action

Hello,
I couldn't find any tips with regards to how to use a "syntax" to rename the file just before "saving as" or "saving for web" options in PS.
To understand what I'm trying to achieve, please let me describe the case on the example below:
I have the file "picture.jpg" (1024x768)
What I'm trying to do is:
- Resize the image down to size 800x600
- Save it in the same folder using "save for web" as "picture_large.jpg"
- Resize the image again, this time down to size 600x480
- Save it in the same folder using "save for web" as "picture_medium.jpg"
So after the first step in my action I need to add the suffix "_large" and after the third step I need to add the suffix "_medium".
Is it possible?
Thanks
t0ny

Hi Guys,
Thanks for your repllies, unfortunately I can't achieve the 100% result using your suggesitions (I learnet a bit anyway ).
- When using slices, I'd have to rename slice everytime I resize the picture as I need diferent suffix for every image size.
- Suggestion to use "Save as" instead "Save for web" doesn't resolve my problem either, as what I'm trying to achieve is to store one image with all the diferent image sizes in one folder.
I guess perfect solution would be if I could change the filename using some syntax which could look like:
change current file name from [name] to [name]+"_medium"
But I believe this is not possible.
Thanks very much anyway and of course if there are any other suggestions I'll be happy if someone could help.

How to change the Field Symbol, so Adobe Forms takes it as a Table?

Hi guys,
I created an Field Symbol, in a Interface which I use for Adobe Forms. The type of the Field Symbol is STANDARD TABLE, and this field symbol I fill with data from another program.
But the problem is that in adobe forms, this Field Symbol is taken as TEXT FIELD and not as Table... and this shows me a Dump because it can't convert Internal Table to type C (the dump is like that).
What I need, is how to change the Field Symbol, so Adobe Forms takes it as a Table?
I looked at Adobe Form, and found this:
The Type Category of the Field Symbol is DICTIONARY TYPE and I think I need to change it to Internal Table as shown in the right picture.
Does someone have any idea?

Hello Taly,
To what i understand your requirement, you need to pass data from Field symbol to internal table in Adobe form.
You have done it correct partially. I have replicated your scenario and steps are below -
1) Create a Z structure
2) Create Z Table Type
3) Create Adobe Interface with Table & Field Symbol. Also do coding as shown to assign the internal table populated in driver program to filed symbol.
4) Design Form as -
5) Code driver as -

Can you change the tab order in Muse forms?

Can you change the tab order in Muse forms?

Hi Rebecca,
By tabs do you mean the form fields? If yes, then you can simply rearrange them by repositioning the other fields using mouse.
However, the e-mails that are received on submission of the forms show the original sequence of the fields.

Changing the FileName & Directory of a mapping by updating the database .

Hi,
In one of the ETL tools which I have worked before ( constellar) , It was possible to change the filename & directory associated with a program/interface/mapping dynamically by simply updating the tables of database. Is that possible in OWB. ( anyway when we implemented we did that by changing the scheduler shell script ) , just because of curiosity I am raising this doubt ?.
regards
Ranjeesh

select PARAMETER_NAME, PARAMETER_VALUE
from ALL_RT_LOCATION_PARAMETERS
You can set the location however the file is stored in all_rt_objects in a clob. I don't know how the modify the filename in the clob dynamic.
NOTE the mentioned objects are views.
We have a data stucture (here a simplyfied example)
data /input <= any input file any name any version
/output
/process <= contains fixed name
a batch (call in OWF) copy from inp to process.
cheers,

How can I change the tax formula in system form ?

How can I change the tax formula in system form ?
Besr regard!

Great!
I suppose "Speed-button" is the same as "toolbar button", right?
To all (more or less):
It confirms that I am on the right track when I bother the participants in this forum time-after-time with remarks to train themselves - or get trained - in application + customization features (+ SDK).
Of course as developers we can use the SDK for whatever purpose and try to develop additional functionality - ... that might already be there, but we just don't know about it
In addition the power of customization features (UDFs/UDTs/queries/formatted searches (also bound to fields on SAP Business One forms)...) should not be underestimated!!!
When starting development with SDK you - or the person who writes the specifications for an Add-On must IMHO be familiar with the application + the customization features + being trained with SDK to avoid unnecessary development or getting into trouble latest when the solution is shipped to a customer...
Please again note that there's a lot of eLearning available in the education area in the SMB Portal on SAP Service Marketplace.

Why can't I change the filename on the streaming server?

I ran into an interesting problem and I am unable to find an answer to this.
Here is the issue.
I encoded a file into .flv format. When I stream the file using RTMP protocol, it streams fine. However, if I change the name of the file ( I can explain why I need to do this, but assume that's part of what I need to do in our product) by appending a string, it fails to playback properly ( note: I modify the playback URLto match the new filename).
Example:
rtmp://localhost/vod/sample.flv
2 changes to make
a) change the filename to sample_mystring.flv in the content folder
b) playback rtmp://localhost/vod/sample_mystring.flv
it does not playback the video.
I am scratching my head, because this is not an expected failure. I am left to wonder if the video player ( in this case FLVPlayer) or the RTMP protocol is requiring the original filename in the stream for it to playback.
I am not familiar with the protocol or its inner-workings, but I hope someone here has some experience or thoughts to help me figure this out. I am stuck.
Thanks for your help!

I am back to testing this again, and I have the same issues
I have tried the entries as follows
<VirtualDirectory>
      
            <Streams>/;w:\files</Streams>
</VirtualDirectory>
<VirtualDirectory>
      
            <Streams>/\\remoteserver\files</Streams>
   </VirtualDirectory>
I also checked that the FMS host has access to the remote folder by first sharing the remote folder and
a) creating a common network user "fmsuser" who has access to the remote folders
b) fms startups with log in as "fmsuser".
I can't see the remote files play back. However, the local files play just fine. I also verified that the file is OK using "flvcheck.exe" in the tools directory.
Thanks for your help

Unable to edit the fields in PDF interactive form

Hi,
We are in the process of developing an interactive form integrating Web Dynpro ABAP with Adobe forms.
As of now we are able to send the data to Adobe form from Web Dynpro.
But we are facing the following problem.
i) Unable to edit the form data for entering/changing the contents of the fields in PDF document, which is presented to user with a Web Dynpro application URL.
We have already unset the 'ReadOnly' property of the interactive UI element.
We are currently working on ZCI installation with SAP SP08, GUI patch level 20, Adobe Reader version 8.0
Please advise...
Thanks,

How to Change the Visible property of Adobe Form Dynamically - URGENT

Hi,
    I am woking on a scenario where when I click a button in Adobe Form,
another Adobe Form should be displayed. This is using Web Dynpro Java.
For this I have made the second form invisible and I want to make this VISIBLE when the button is Clicked. I am unable to get a method where this property of interactive form can be changed.
Also, If there is any other way this can be done please let me know.
I am using NWDS 7.0.09 with Adobe Live cycle designer 7.1.
Thanks in Advance,
Vasu

You need to get the handler to the adobe form in your webdynpro program. If you are using webdynpro for java the following code snipped could be useful...
IWDPDFDocumentInteractiveFormHandler iFormHandler = WDPDFDocumentFactory.getDocumentHandler(wdThis.wdGetAPI(),"YourAdobeForm");
     // Get appearance setter.
     IWDPDFDocumentAppearance appearance =
          iFormHandler.getDocumentContext().getAppearance();
     //appearance.
     // Set page layout option
     appearance.setPageLayout(pageLayoutOption);
     // Set show option.
     appearance.setShowOption(showOption);
     // Hide menu bar.
     appearance.hideMenuBar(true);
     // Hide tool bars.
     appearance.hideToolBars(true);
     // Hide window controls.
     appearance.hideWindowControl(true);
     // Show full screen.
     appearance.showFullScreen(true);

Change visibility of table in interactive form through scripting

Hi all,
I am designing an interactive form in wd java. I used a table to display records in the interactive form.I want to make the table invisible if there is no data in the node. The table is wrapped in a subform . What scripting I need to do to make the table invisible if there is no data in the table node.
Thanks,
Satish Kumar

Dear Sathish,
I dont think there is direct way to control the visibility property in the Interactive form. Instead, you can create a table inside a subform and change the Subform Content Property to "Flowed".
You will be having a node assigned to the table. Instantiate the node twice, say first time for the heading row and the second time for the table content. and do this under the ciondition if the table is not enpty. This way you can control the visibility of the table and it is so simple.
if(<tablevalues> == null)
<Dont create any nodes>
else
//For Table Heading
IPrivate<>.ITestNode tn = wdcontext.nodeTest();
IPrivate<>.ITestElement tne = wdcontext.createTestElement());
tn.add(tne);
//For Table content
IPrivate<>.ITestNode tn1 = wdcontext.nodeTest();
IPrivate<>.ITestElement tne1 = wdcontext.createTestElement());
tn1.add(tne1);
Thanks,
Vivek.

Can I temporarily change the filename when using mailDoc?

Here is the situation: I am creating a form that multiple users will open, fill out, and then click a button to email the form using the mailDoc method.
The email goes to an automated document management system that will move the attachment to a folder. If the document management system receives attachments with the same file name it creates a new version of the existing file, rather than amending the file name.
This behavior is not ideal, so I want to change the script to manipulate the name of the attachment based on a field within the form. Is that possible?

The attachment will take the name of the PDF file name that is opened. If you want to chnageth ename of the attachment you will have to save the file as a different filename first. You cannot completely automate this operation without Certifying the file. You can automate the saving of the file and allow the user to choose the new filename....but I doubt that this is what you want.
Other people have solved this by submitting the file to a web server then having the web server post the email. In this way the web server can control the filename.
Hope that helps

Questions concerning the use of Adobe Interactive Forms

Hi All,
I have two questions that I would to see if I could get an answer to.
1) Has or can one use an Adobe Interactive form on a Tablet PC to allow a user to draw, say a small diagram or map, and have that image then stored in an R/3 database?
2) I may already know the answer to this, but want to verify it anyway. Can Adobe Interactive forms be used to provide data to other applications outside of SAP using NetWeavers J2EE or .Net API?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Mark

Hello!
1) As far as I know (and can see in Adobe Designer opened at my PC right now) there are no standard controls
in the library that can be used to add drawing (ink) area to the form. Maybe external are available, but unlikely.
Even more, googling shoes that Adobe itself is not eager to support ink in their Acrobat products... Pity but so.
So my answer for the first question is "NO".
2) That depends on what you mean on "providing data to other applications outside of SAP using NetWeaver J2EE and .NET".
If you are using NetWeaver J2EE than you are still using SAP.
If you want to install SAP's ADS server on J2EE server from another vendor, than it is not a good idea:
First - it should be merely legal to use SAP software like this.
Second - Adobe's standalone forms solution (Link: [Adobe LiveCycle Forms ES|http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/]) should be cheaper.
On the other hand, if you create a simple form in LifeCycle Designer not inside SAP, but launched standalone and
set this form to send data to let's say XML-service, than there is no problem to use any other server application / platform.
It's just have to be a web-service like: support HTTP-requests with XML inside.
In the last case still the question persists "why use SAP in this case?"
Just few ERP 2005 licenses will cost more, than entire Adobe product line, so maybe you have to change the platform?
