Check the attachments in PDF Form

I am currently working on a offline interactive form wherein the requestor is supposed to attach a file to his pdf Form before submitting. Now my requirement is to check if there is an attachment with the form(offline) on the click of the submit button.
If attachment is not there pop up an error messages "No attachements'.
Help is greatly appreciated ...

Hello
var oObj = event.target;
var fileAttachments = oObj.dataObjects;//dataObjects returns all dataObjects(attachments)in the pdf
if(attachmentsList.length > 0) { ... }
also search at google, you´ll find a page by Mr. Cameron where you can find the whole attachments demo solution.

Problem with the Travel Expenses PDF Form

Hi Experts,
We are facing a strange issue in our production system that the Travel Expenses PDF form is coming as a blank pop up when users raise a Travel Expenses request or try to see the form in 'My trips and Expenses'.
The strange thing is that it is happning for only 3 users in Production system only.We have confirmed that it is not a Desktop issue. We did not come across this earlier while 3500 users are using it for 9 months now.
The same problem is not repeated in Dev, Qua or even in Production for any other user.
The SAP Security team has also confirmed that all relevent authorisations have been given to effected users like other users for whom the same is working
Kindly help me with the same if you have encountered the same problem or can suggest something that may rectify the problem.
Help will be appreciated << Please do not offer points >>

Hi Siddharth,
Thanks for the reply.
We have checked that it is not a Desktop issue.
Also SAP Security team says that the effected users have been given the regular authorisations as given to other users using the same functionality.
As i mentioned it is not a problem with ADS as the same functionality is working fine for 3500 users for 9 months.

Adding attachments to PDF form

I tried everything and looked everywhere and can't find the best solution to this problem. I just need a way for the user to attach documents to a PDF form in Adobe Reader. I have access to LiveCycle and Acrobat so is there way once the extended features are enabled for a user to add attachments to the form in Reader. I have LiveCycle ES 8.2.1. I guess the only possible way is when the user emails the form they can add the attachments then but I just want to see if it can be done by attaching to the actual form.

Hi Roy,
I can't test now, but I've had Paul's example working on a Mac before in Acrobat.
If you are using Reader on the Mac (or Windows), then the form would need to be Reader Enabled using LC Reader Extensions ES on the server.
If you have Reader Enabled the form in Acrobat, then the ability to attach files is not available to users with Reader.
See a summary here: http://assure.ly/etkFNU.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Where the Adobe Designer PDF Form "Default Locale" read from?

I am designing PDF form using Adobe Designer. I have set the "Default Locale" in the Edit -> Form Properties. I have set the Display Pattern of numeric field to ZZZ,ZZZ,ZZ9.99. Based on locale, Adobe should format the numeric field accordingly. So where exactly the Adobe Designer read the locale and the number format? From SAP table, Adobe server OS, PC OS or from where? Because I need to check the locale setting ZZZ,ZZZ,ZZ9.99, ZZZ.ZZZ.ZZ9,99 and so on.

Check in the Interface Or Form Builder -->Interface.
Reward if Useful.

Attachments and pdf form offline

It would be great if partecipants in my surveys could be able to attach files at the pdf form while they are filling it offline.

Copy of the filled in PDF Form

If a person fills out the PDF form and clicks submit, the responses will populate the table in FormsCentral, but is there a way that upon clicking submit a PDF version of the completed form can be emailed to a specific address?

At present there is no way to do this as one opperation. You can select the response from response table and save as a PDF but this is a somewhat manual process. I encourage you to vote for this feature as it is something we have heard before.

How to convert a file of emails and the attachments to pdf?

In adobe pro XI, how do you convert a file of emails AND their attachments to pdf?

Unfortunately, that did not work either. I am thinking this may not be possible (at least with 10.1.3.4). What I was hoping for was that I could audit the presentation catalog groups and users. I want to be able to get a list of all the users and the groups they are listed in. Again, this would be helpful so we do not need to keep an external record. If we are removing access to a user or updating the group, we want to make sure we remove them from all applicable groups (Settings>Administration>Manage Presentation Catalog Groups and Users)

Cannot save checked radio buttons in pdf forms

I am using form 1023 from the IRS which has a series of "yes" and "no" radio buttons that need to be checked. The problem is that each time I check my responses and save the pdf, it opens with my filled info still intact (i.e. my name, etc...), but none of the boxes are checked.
Help, please?

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
If you're using Apple's Preview application, for this particular PDF file you might try the Adobe Reader application instead:

Check for reader extend pdf form

Hi,
Is there any service or API to check whether a form is reader extended in a work flow process. Also, information like when the form is reader extended and by which reader extension credential it is applied. Any way to get all this information in a work flow? Thank you.

I think there is something to help you on that
will let you know in a day or two
thanks

Appending attachments to PDF form

When you export a form as a PDF, it would be helpful if any supporting documents attached to the form were exported with the PDF. It would prevent having to have multiple files/docs for one respondent.

Thank you for the feedback. You should submit a feature request here so others can vote on this request.

How do I un-check the box "Display PDF in browser" using Adobe Acrobat Pro (9.0.0)?

It is faded out and not allowing me the option.

First of all, update your Acrobat to the latest version available for 9.
Then, if you have Windows 8 it might still not be enough, as the two are
not compatible.

Why would my PDF Form print out the tab order on top of my form fields?

When this user prints out the filled out PDF form we created, it prints the tab order as a little square numbered box right on top of the form field entry. The tab order prints over all types of fields, text entry fields, check box fields, etc.
I am not sure if this issue is related to someone using a non-Adobe PDF reader, or an issue with their printer? Unfortunately, we cannot duplicate this issue ourselves and are hesitant to interrogate our client futher on the matter.
Has anybody else ever seen this type of print out from a PDF form issue?

Thanks for your reply! Based on your suggestion I did a little experimenting.
This is a form saved to Enable User Rights so PDF viewers can fill out and email or save the form. After seeing your question, I opened the form for editing (actually saving a copy first that was not restricted, and editing the copy). I then toggled the Tab Numbers on via Tools > under the Forms header I clicked Edit > Other Tasks > Edit Fields > Show Tab Numbers. After revealing the tab numbers I then tried to save the form as a Reader Extended PDF, but the Enable Additional Features option was grayed out. Even if I wanted to, I could not save the form with the tab numbers revealed.
The form itself was also received by our company electronically and when viewed does not show the tab number order and when we print it, it prints as expected (no tab order numbers).
We are suspecting that this may be an issue either with the end users printer? Or possibly viewing and printing via an alternate viewer like Foxit?
Anybody run across this odd behavior?

How can I export a PDF form and the filled in fields to a text document?

OK, so I have a situation. I need people to be able to open a reader-enabled PDF form, fill out the form fields, and then export the filled-out PDF form to a basic text document. This seems easy since Adobe Reader can save to text. The problem is, the answers in the form fields do not show in the text file! Each radio button shows as yes and no, and there is no indication in the text file which one was selected. In addition, the form fields are not exported next to the questions on the form. I tried flattening the form in Adobe pro, and that did not work either.
How can I create a fillable form for Adobe Reader, and then let the user export their answers AND the questions on the form to plain text?

OK, so I tried this as a starting point, and assigned it to a button on page 3 of the form.
p=0;
console.show();
console.clear();
for (var j = 0; j < this.getPageNumWords(p);j++) {
      var word = this.getPageNthWord(p,j,false);
      console.println(word);
This gives me all the words on the first page not in fields, and each word goes on a separate line. Now, characters in the document such as "&" or ")" cause the rest of the word to go on the next line down.
Next, I tried this:
console.show();
console.clear();
for (var j = 0; j < this.getPageNthWord(j);j++)
      var word = this.getPageNthWord(j,false);
      console.println(word);
This only gives me the first word on page 3, the page the button is placed?
What I need to do is run the code and place words on one line until the code hits a keyword "var cKeyWord1 = “Key1” for example?, then insert the value of field one, Start a new line in the console, restart the code where it left off until it hits the next key word "var cKeyWord2 = “Key2”, insert the value of field two, add a new line, and on and on.
Is this possible?

Download the PDF Form as a attachment when button click in BSP application

Hi All,
I have scenario, when button click in the BSP application PDF Form want to download in the IE (like one window open with Open,Save and cancel button).
I have written this code:
data: pdf type fpformoutput-pdf.
< Logic for populate value to pdf field ....
.>
response->set_header_field(
                     name = 'cache-control'
                     value = 'max-age=0' ).
response->set_header_field(
                     name = 'content-disposition'
                     value = 'attachment; filename=webforms.pdf' ).
response->set_data( data   = pdf ).
Once button is clicked pop up is opened and closed automatically because of browser or adobe reader issue.
How can I resolve this problem ?
In the IE i need to change any settings ?
IE version = 7.0
Adobe reader = 9.0
I have tried in the same code with IE = 6.0 and adobe reader 8.1.2 its getting download the pdf form working fine.
The same think i want in IE 7.0 and adobe reader 9.0, what needs to be done ?

Hello Ravi,
Best would be to bind the dataSource of the InteractiveForm ui element to the parent node containing the table's data. Then specify a name of a template to be created in the templateSource and hit <enter>. Some popups later, the system will have created a template from the structure of the context. All you need to do now is to drag&drop the data structure inside the template designer to the template itself. This will result in a table. Save, activate and return the Web Dynpro view. Don't forget to unbind the pdfSource and enjoy.
Best regards,
Thomas
