Creating a dynamic interactive form

I have been working at trying to get a text field that expands when more text is added to the field. I have been looking at the sample Purchase Order form that came with Designer and when I look at the properties of the subform for the comments field near the bottom of the page I see options that are grayed out when I look at the properties of the subform that I have made. I'm just not getting it and seeing what to do to get thing to work.
For example when I go to look at the Object > Subform properties everything is grayed out except the Type, Presence, and Locale fields. In the Object > Binding properties everything below Name, Default Binding and Import/Export Bindings fields is grayed out.
Without knowing what else to look into I'm stuck.
I have tried working with the tutorial in the Designer help but there is no tutorial for a dynamic interactive form just a dynamic form that apparently doesn't work the same way.

OK. I think I got this figured out why the fields are grayed out.
But how do I get a field to grow when I finaly open the pdf document in Acrobat 7?

  • Dynamic Interactive Form Properties

    Hi,
    Im trying to create dynamic interactive form.
    What are the Form Properties that I have to set to Preview Dynamic Interactive Form.
    I have a radio buttons, when I select one, a related subform must display. Kindly guide me for the procedures to follow to implement.
    Regards
    Prasad

    Hello Prasad,
    First of all: Are you creating the forms in the Netweaver Developer studio, or in the SAP-Gui?
    Next: I am not really sure what your question is, what you want to achieve. I think you want to to display an interactive form instead of a normal PDF. If this is not the case, could you elaborate please?
    If you are in the SAP gui: You can execute the function module which includes the Form. You'll have to give some parameters, and one of them is the structure <i>/1BCDWB/DOCPARAMS</i>. In this structure, you have the field <i>Fillable</i>. If you mark this field (eg. punt an 'X' to it), you'll have the interactive properties of the form enabled.
    I don't have a NDS in the neigborhoud atm, you'll have to wait for that part.
    Good luck!<b></b>

  • 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.

  • Adding rows in web dynpro ABAP Dynamic Interactive form.

    Hi Experts,
              I am having problem in web dynpro ABAP Dynamic Interactive form.
    This is my scenario....
    I have a dynamic interactive form that has buttons to add and remove rows in a table. It works fine when I preview it , but when I render, view or save it using ADS, it no longer works. The "add" button actually does instantiate more repeating rows, because I put some trace messages in to count them, but the added rows are not displayed. How do I make them visible?
    In web dynpro java we write some coding in modify view to set the pdf form as dynamic
    IWDInteractiveForm iForm =
    (IWDInteractiveForm)view.getElement("<ID>");
    iForm.setDynamicPDF(true);
    simillarly what we need to write in web dynpro ABAP.
    Please give me solution for the same.
    Thanks,

  • Dynamic Interactive Form

    Hello friends,
                       I ve created a dynamic purchase order form(Interactive form) which has a dynamic table which adds or deletes the table rows on click of a button.
    This part works fine when i preview the pdf file..rather when i deploy the application,
    the dynamic content like adding and deleting rows does not work..Friends, if anyone of u have faced this issue and solved, please get back to me with the solution.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    Other than checking if xACF is installed, you can check one more thing:
    In  your Adobe lifecycle Designer, open your form,
    Goto, File --> Form Properties,
    Goto the Defaults tab,
    Select "Dynamic PDF" for the XDP Preview Format:
    Click OK.
    This setting will now allow dynamicity in your Form, when you view it in PDF Preview tab.
    This will solve your problem.

  • 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       = ' '

  • Can we create items dynamically in forms 6i??

    Dear All,
    Is it possible to create items,i.e. Text items,display items etc. dynamically?
    Suppose I select Table name EMP,then it must get all columns from database and place it on form.Now I change table name from EMP to DEPT,now it should get all columns for dept table and place it on same form removing all EMP table colums.I should not have to call another form,i.e. it should be strictly done through single form.
    Thanks in advance

    You can make a form with 10 or more items (depends on the maximum number of the columns you have) and place them in a non base table block. Then you populate the block with a cursor and if you press a button you can populate the same block with another cursor making visible only the columns you need.
    Hope it helps you,
    Fabrizio

  • Creating a Dynamic Tabular Form

    Hi Everyone,
    This is a question aimed at Denes Kubicek, but if he is not on the forum today then maybe someone else could help me.
    I am trying to create a tabular form on a table view. The thing is that the primary key is not populated using a trigger, the primary key is 2 varchar columns.
    For Example.*
    SVC_NAME
    SVC_HST_IP
    SVC_NUM
    SVC_DB_TYPE     
    SVC_APP_TYPE     
    SVC_APP_NAME     
    SVC_BK_TYPE
    So i am trying to create a tabular form based on the above columns, where the SVC_NAME and SVC_HST_IP are going to be inserted as the primary keys.
    I have seen on Denes Kubiceks APEX website that he has been able to create a tabular form which could meet my requirements, Tabular Form Dynamic. The only thing is that i am falling at the first step. Please could someone provide me with some direction as regards to where to put the code?
    What I have done to this point is place section 1 of the code "1. SQL Query / PL/SQL Function Returning SQL Query" in a report. However, when I run the page I get "failed to parse SQL query:ORA-00936: missing expression" error message. I assume that section 2 and 3 will be application processes but I have not got to that point yet. I am not sure about section 4.
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Thanks,
    -N.S.N.O.

    See this example on how to proceed with tables without a primary key:
    http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:157
    which applies in your case. Using ROWID is also an option.
    Whatever later you call your primary key is not important since this example uses ROWID.

  • Need to Create a Dynamic Tablular Form in APEX

    Can someone point me to the APEX documentation that discusses how to create a tabular form that can be dynamic (I can add or change data in the table)? Similar to a report, but where the data can be modified.
    Thanks.

    Actually, I found the step by step tutorial on creating a tabular form. So I should be all set. No need to reply to this thread.

  • Creating A Dynamic Bilingual Form

    I'm a relative newbie just trying to figure out the best way to create a single form which would allow the user to change the language (English/French) on-the-fly. So based on what the user selects as their language (radio button) all of the text captions AND tool tips associated with the text fields would then be displayed in that language. Is there an efficient way to implement some sort of "resource file" or "lookup table" with the text field name as a key, and the corresponding English and French caption values, and then just load this English or French caption value depending on what language the user chose? I'm not expecting a detailed solution, just maybe a broad idea of the best way to go about doing this, to at least get me pointed in the right direction.
    Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!

    Technically that is certainly doable but depending on how complicated the form is (how many objects need to be updated) you can affect performance. If it takes more than a few seconds to change the text then users will complain. Also you will have layout issues where a caption in Englsih takes a certain amount of space then changing it to French usually means that more space is required. For these reasons most people end up with two different forms and load the appropriate one for the user.

  • Create N adobe interactive forms ????

    Hi everybody,
    I want to know if there is someone who can tell me if is possible to create x adobe forms depends of a x variable??. My situation is like this: I have a webdynpro app., this app retrieves information from r3 (a table of customers), for all these customers I need to send an email with an adobe form attached (with different information, like the table). Now I can't be able to send several emails with the attached file, because I can't create more than one adobe form in runtime. I only can send one by one (to send the different adobe)....and it is not a good solution
    Can anyone help me with any idea....
    thanks in advance...
    Leslie.-

    Hi Bertrand:
    thanks for your answer!
    My problems is because I'm creating the Adobe forms from Webdynpro...and the controller (who is in charge about the creation of the pdf objects) don't let me made many instances of the form or maybe I don't know how to do it. I have a table with a list of data, I need to create differents pdf forms such as rows in the table...now the webdynpro application only creates one pdf, with the data of the first row.... =(
    anyway, Thanks for your answer, but...I don't know nothing about ABAP

  • Create and Save Interactive Form

    I have created my form which I would like to have users fill in and save.  I have done something wrong because it gives a message that it cannot save entered data.  The form works, it just won't save entered data.  Thanks.

    Hi Ibgolfin,
    That's par for the course.
    What you need to do is enable Reader Useage Rights by:
    open your form in Acrobat Pro
    Select Advanced
    Select Extend Features in Adobe Reader
    That's it. No puttering around needed.
