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.

How to create table in interactive form via Java Web Dynpro

Hi,
How to create table in interactive form via Java Web Dynpro ?
Any online tutorial / example ?
Thank you.
Regards,
Eric

Hi Eric,
Just choose the UI element Table from Form Library and drag and drop it on the form. now choose the no. of rows and columns and other settings you want about table from the wizard initiated through this process. This all is what you have to do to create the table. Now to bind it to the fields of the data source bind the individual colums to individual attributes of the node in the datasource.
Hope it will solve your query.

Saving values into table from Interactive Form

Hallo together,
iam trying to do the example "Include Tables" (SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe - Galileo Press).
It works, but not as described. When i want to change data in the interactive_forms ui element and press the webdynpro native button send, the value at the webdynpro table does not change. When i change the value at the webdynpro table and press the send button at the form or change the line at the webdynpro, the value in the adobe formular changes too. Thats one problem.
The other problem is that i want to save the changed/added data from the formular at the database. What to do? The form layout is "ZCI Layout" and i added the script:
DO NOT MODIFY THE CODE BEYOND THIS POINT - 800.20070708051308.406522.403406 - ContainerFoundation_JS
I also added this into "wddomodifyview":
METHOD wddomodifyview .
DATA: lr_interactive_form TYPE REF TO cl_wd_interactive_form,
             lr_method_handler TYPE REF TO if_wd_iactive_form_method_hndl.
CHECK first_time = abap_true.
lr_interactive_form ?= view->get_element( 'FORM' ).
lr_method_handler ?= lr_interactive_form->_method_handler.
lr_method_handler->set_legacy_editing_enabled( abap_true ).
ENDMETHOD.
I selected also:
execute at: "Server and Client"
I dont know what to do anymore.
Best regards

Hi,
To make an input enabled table. I would suggest to use TABLE element from the PDF library and then binding the columns from your context.
Step 1: Library -> Standard ->Table
Select create using assistance.
Select body rows vary depending on data .
Select number of Columns in your case it will be 4.
Then proceed further and finish as per your need.
Step 2:
Select a table Column .
Select Pallets->Object then chnage the cell type from Text to text field.
Then click on binding tab and bind it to the respective field from hierarchy.
Select upgrade the following properties radio button and check only "default value" option.
This will create binding something like this $record.SCARR.DATA[*].CARRID
Follow this for all other columns.
Step 3:
Now create a button in the View holding your form(you can also use SUBMIT button of form). On action event of this button right the following code to get all the changed values from Table.
data lt_scarr type wd_this->elements_scarr.
call method lo_nd_scarr->get_static_attributes_table
    importing
      table = lt_scarr.
LT_SCARR will contain all the new values from Form. Then use this table to update ur database table.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Adding dynamic size table to Interactive Form

Hello everyone,
I have a node with multiple elements that i would like to show in an interactive pdf form.
I'm using the Adobe LiveCycle Designer to do it, but i'm only managing to bind "solo" variables, not tables.
How can i associate dynamically a table with several lines to a pdf interactive form ? I tried a list box but i still only get the first element shown in the box. Am i doing anything wrong ?
Thank you in advance.
Nuno Santos

Hi,
Basically the general way to add a table to INteractive form is by adding a subform elemet to a subform element and(i mean subform in a subform), now map the fields u want to be displayed as a table.
For the fisrt subform set the LayoutType-Flow Content,Flow DirectionTable.
Then select the allow page breaks within the content option.
And the binding should be Normal.
for the second subform:
LayoutType-Flow Content,Flow DirectionTable row.
Now also select the option allow page breaks.
Then for Binding tab: select the Repeat Subform for each data Item, then min count=1.
And now if ur table columns contain names like abc, def and xyz.
Then in the script editor code something like this
abc[*]; under show: initilaze, language: Formcalc and Run at: client
Hope this should work out for you.
let me know if u have any more queries.
Thanks,
Lohi

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,

Capturing the changed data in the interactive forms through HTML Viewer

Dear all,
I'm showing the Interactive Adobe form in the HTML Viewer and I want to capture it back after the user enters data in the form and save it to application server.
Can I get some help on this. Please attach supporting documents if any.
Regards
Aravind

sorry i've got no document describing this. under service.sap.com/adobe you'll find a lot of Adobe content.
But basically use the Adobe Designer from program files\adobe\design 7.0\formdesigner.exe
create new form based on the CAF tutorials in the Interactive Forms section, add a new data connection to a wsdl, bind input/output parameters to form fields and get a button executing the wsdl operation.
create your interactive form callable object based on that template, configure the form to start process and as impersonalized form. create the form from the GP administration screen, download it and test it.
...And Good Luck!!!

How to send Dynamic Interactive Forms through mail?

Hi all,
I'm trying to sent Interactive Forms as attachment through mails.
Everything works fine as long as the Content of this Interactive Form stays static.
When I add dynamic elements and test this in SFP, they work.
However when they get sent by mail, the dynamic content is lost and gets back Static.
Does anyone has ABAP code or any other solutions so that the PDF gets send as an Dynamic Form?
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards,
Maarten

Hi,
I'm working from the Web UI. This is BSP. Here I add 2 Methods (GET_PDF and SEND_MAIL).
The GET_PDF gets all data for the form and then sends the FORMOUTPUT to the SEND_MAIL method.
Here I add the PDF as following:
First I convert it to BINARY and then I add it as attachment.
Do I need to add it as another TYPE or ....
+ CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
    EXPORTING
      BUFFER                = ip_formoutput-PDF "PDF file from function module
    APPEND_TO_TABLE       = ' '
IMPORTING
    OUTPUT_LENGTH         =
    TABLES
      BINARY_TAB            = lt_att_content_hex
lo_document->add_attachment(
    EXPORTING
      i_attachment_type    = 'PDF'
      i_attachment_subject = 'Your appointment Details'
      i_att_content_hex    = lt_att_content_hex ).+

Actually be careful. Just changing the displayType probably isn't enough. If you change from ActiveX to Native, you also must adjust the form itself - converting the form type and adding the JavaScript Header. And also Native (or ZCI) based forms are only available after SP12. If your system patch level is older than that release you might still have problems.
The ACF based forms do require an ActiveX control that gets pushed to the frontend. So this limits their browser support and also requires a version of the ACF control that matches your server. So sometimes you get an ACF version mismatch if you work with multiple servers on different release levels. ActiveX controls can also be blocked in IE depending upon the security settings that your company imposes.
So first of all - do the SAP example ACF form applications work for you? If they work, but this form doesn't then the problem may still be in the form itself.
Two - are you at a release level where you can use Native forms instead? If so you might consider going back to your Forms team and have them conver the form for you and use the Native display type. This will reduce the complixity of having to rely on an ActiveX control. Finally if you are stuck with ACF then you need to start troubleshooting your security browser settings and/or the version of the ACF control that is installed on your desktop.

I am able to sucessfully fill the data if i set 'Enabled' property to space in element interactive form.If i set enabled property i am not able see any data i my form.
How can i do this happen.I am very confused.I searched in many forums everybody says that if you put 'Enbaled' check box in interactive that will became a interactive form.
Thanks,

interactive form is a one of the GUI element in WD.so asual just create one attribute for input.
and one node for table bind the node to table. create action for input inside the action write select query in where condition give the readed value and once you create the inteactive form throuth the interface values will be shared automatically ..

thanks, Noa

Hi,
Try doing the following
try using the simple 'Button'. In the button's object properties, in the tab named 'field', select 'Control Type: submit'.
Then, in the 'submit' tab in the object properties, choose PDF in the 'submit format' dropdown field.
In the 'submit to URL field' type:
mailto:nameataddress.com?subject=mySubject&body=Done
You may need to adjust the e-mail address, subject and body text.

Dynamically increasing the rows of a table in interactive forms.

Hi All,
I am new to adobe forms.I am developing an interactive form in webdynpro abap.I have a requirement such that i have 3 columns in a table and the first 5 rows are default i.e, i will add it during design time.when we enter something in the 5th row,6th row should automatically be created which wil be empty.I also need to retrieve the data back into the webdynpro component when user enters something in it and clicks the submit button.can anyone tel me how wil i generate this table and when someone enters something into the form how wil i store the data back in the component.
my context node has hours ,minutes and call code as attributes which wil be the column names.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Srividya.

Hi Srividya,
For flow of data from the form to webdynpro. Do the follwing:
Suppose you have a table on the form and you want to pass data from this form to web dynpro.
1. Create a node of cardinality 0...n or 1.....n. Add attributes to this. Now this node is as a internal table and the attributes are like intenal table fields.
2. When creating the form. Use This node as the data source for the form.
3. Now its easy in webdynpro ABAP to create a table on the Adobe form. Just drag and drop the Data node(from which you want to create table) from the data view on the designer on to the form.
4. Now its already bound to the node you have created and whatever data you will enter in the table that will be reflected to the node. and you can check it by creating a table on the view from the same node.
5. After you will click on submit button the data will reflect to table on webdynpro view.
If its not works then problem could be that the ACF is not installed on your system due to which button is not processing and fields are not reflecting data.
For ACF you can search it on SAP service market place.
Hope it will help.

Vaibhav Tiwari.

How we can attach documents in interactive form through GP

Hi,
I am creating a Callable Object(CO) for Interactive Form(IF) through GP. This IF is designed in Adobe Live Cycle Designer 8. I am unable to get reader rights for this PDF which is downloaded as normal form/Impersonalized form. I am having default value for Document Handling as Acrobat 8 (Dynamic) XML Form in Adobe Live Cycle Designer 8
I created a NWDS project to test the reader rights which consists an IF. I tried with NWDS 7. When I run the application, I am getting reader rights, and able to attach documents, and able to sign the document.
I am unable to get these features when I try with GP.
Do I need to do any thing when I am doing with GP?
Can any one suggest what needs to be done.
Thanks in advance.
