Data in dropdown list field are empty in PDF form

Hi all.
Viewing a pdf form created with SAP interactive Forms offline method, the data in the dropdown list field are empty.
The data in the dropdown list field are generated by xml file produced by an abap report.
The problem occurs opening the form with Adobe Reader 8.1 or higher. Using Adobe Reader release 7.0.9 everything is ok.
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks in advanced.
Best Regards.
Moreno

Hi Otto,
the only release of Adobe Reader that work is 7.0.9. Release 8.1 and 9 have the same problem where the data in the dropdown list field are empty.
At the end of the trace file in Adobe Reader 9.0.3 I find this error message:
"Invalid version: The current version of the XFA template model exceeds the capability of Acrobat / Adobe Reader 7.0.5."
The form has been created using Adobe Lifecycle Design 7.1.
Any idea?
Thanks
Moreno

Office 2010 Don't print blank lines when data fields are empty

How do you do this in office 2010? Where do we go now?
This used to be under the Tools menu in previous versions:
On the Tools menu, click Mail Merge.
In the Mail Merge Helper dialog box, click Merge.
NOTE: You must select the main document and data source for the merge before doing step 2.
In the Merge dialog box, under When Merging Records, click either:
Don't print blank lines when data fields are empty.
-or-
Print blank lines when data fields are empty.
Click Close in the Merge dialog box, and then click
Close in the Mail Merge Helper.
NOTE: If you made no changes in the Merge dialog box, the
Close button is not available. Click Cancel instead.

How to make a subform not print if the fields are empty

I'm once again working on that kind of client form where our agents fill in a bunch of fields on our forms and I only want those fields that are pertinent to that client to print out and I've grouped the fields that go together into separate subforms.
There are date fields and currency fields that relayout to floating fields in hidden blocks of text that appear when the last text field is exited, ie:
Subform1 "On 5/14/12 your application was approved. We will pay $100 to your account"
Subform2 "On 5/14/12 we received your application. We will need further information before you claim for $250 can be approved" etc. Obviously, both of these subforms cannot appear on the letter.
Jono gave me a great solution for not printing checkboxes that are not checked with a preprint script which worked perfectly and I tried to adapt that to the subforms but alas my skills are lacking. I tried just putting it in each fill in field but then the blocks of text still remained.
So basically I don't want the subforms that have empty fields to print.
I'd appreciate any help that can be offered.

Hi,
I think that the logic/script should be placed in the area where the user either approves or rejects the claim. This would avoid a prePrint script to check if fields are empty or not.
If you are stuck with checking if fields are empty on prePrint, then you would just need to check the relevant fields one at a time or use a loop.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Convert Word 2007 Form to PDF Form not creating dropdown list fields

I created a new word document with all my text fields with lines and 5 dropdown list fields with all their values. Works great in Word 2007. When I convert it to a pdf form (Acrobat Pro X) none of the dropdown list fields get created. The text fields do, but no drop downs. If I have to create them all manually in Acrobat, what's the point of doing all the work in Word?

The Word conversion to PDF and Forms Wizard do not detect and do not know how to complete a drop down box. I do not even create the form fields in Word as there is no transfer to the PDF. I also find the Wizard lacking in proper naming and grouping. It is just easier and more efficient to add the fields manually or with JavaScript tools.
The only product that can do this is apache OpenOffice when an author creates the from body and form fields in the Writer application and then exports to a PDF.

DOCTYP and IDOCTP fields are empty

Hello!
I'm using XI with the scenario plan driven procurement. I'm able to bring my orders from MM to SUS, but the purchase order confirmations make some problems.
In transaction SXMB_MONI (SUS) everything is fine, but in R/3 transaction BD87 brings an error: DOCTYP and IDOCTP fields are empty. Detailed info: An IDoc is to be generated whose control record does not have sufficient information in it. Neither the field IDOCTP nor the field DOCTYP has a value. Therefore, the IDoc cannot be stored properly.
Where can I give the system the information about that?
Hoping for help,
Barbara

Auto fill same fields in multiple different pdf forms?

I wish to enter information such as project name, company name, date, etc. into a single data sheet. Then I need to autofill the same two or three fields across multiple separate pdf form files. In this case I have approximately separate files to autofill. The forms are all different however, they have the same two or three fields. Any ideas?
I have been searching the internet for ideas or methods and haven't found a single solution yet.
Thanks.

I think this is what you're looking for.

How do I complete an electronic signature field in an Interactive PDF form (created in Indesign)?

How do I complete an electronic signature field in an Interactive PDF form (created in Indesign)? This form will serve as an employment application on a website. The goal is to have any person (interested in applying for a job via the Internet) access, complete and electronically sign the form upon submission.

Hi,
Via createPDF you would not be able to electronic sign the PDF form, you would either require Adobe Reader or purchase Adobe Acrobat to sign the PDF.

If you have tabs on top and no menu then the tabs are in a "Windows" area so there is no space to right. If you put tabs back to the bottom you will have most of your old behavior but because of the changes to tabs on top most of the tab context menu stuff all of the context menu part was lost except the customize toolbar stuff, double-clicking on an empty spot was restored, and eventually during the FF 4 beta most of the tab extensions Firefox messed up eventually worked again except in the area to the right of the tabs.
The Windows part of that double-click has to maximize or restore to normal,
and you have to be able to drag the window by it;'s title bar.
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

How to get an Adobe trusted function javascript to save a pdf form even if fields are empty?

I have a form I have created in Livecycle designer which I want to save to a specific location using a combination of specific fields in the form. I have been able to do this by writing a trusted function and putting it in the adobe javascript file and then putting some code on a save button in the form. However, it may be that some of the fields (vfirstname and vsecondname) may be blank and i still want the form to save. Ideally i want to write an if statement to substitute those fields for other fields if they are blank but cant get the code to work.
Working code in trusted function file
// SaveAs Function1 var mySaveDoc = app.trustedFunction(function(doc) { app.beginPriv(); var vDate1 = event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.leftsideofform.Timeanddate.Dateofca ll").rawValue.toString(); var vfirstname = event.target.xfa.resolveNode(" form1.page1.Table1.Row1.rightsideofform.Prospectiveclient.ClientFirstname").rawValue.toSt ring(); var vsecondname = event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.rightsideofform.Prospectiveclient.C lientsurname").rawValue.toString(); var myPath = "/MGLCC01-SV/MGPdata/Mihomecare/testce/" + vDate1 +"_" + vfirstname + "-" + vsecondname + ".pdf"; // saveAs is the only privileged code that needs to be enclosed doc.saveAs({cPath: myPath, bCopy: true, bPromptToOverwrite: true}); app.endPriv(); });
Working code on save button in form
form1.#pageSet[0].Newenquirymasterpage.Button1::mouseUp - (JavaScript, client) var txt = form1.execValidate(); //This script will validate all required fields event.target.mySaveDoc(event.target) xfa.host.messageBox("Document has been saved to shared drive", "File Saved", 3, 1);
IF code for trusted function file that I cant get to work
// SaveAs Function1 var mySaveDoc = app.trustedFunction(function(doc) { app.beginPriv(); var vDate1 = event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.leftsideofform.Timeanddate.Dateofca ll").rawValue.toString(); if (event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.rightsideofform.Prospectiveclient. ClientFirstname").rawValue == " ") { var vfirstname = event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.rightsideofform.Enquirer.EnquFirstn ame").rawValue.toString(); } else { var vfirstname = event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.rightsideofform.Prospectiveclient.C lientFirstname").rawValue.toString(); } if (event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.rightsideofform.Prospectiveclient. Clientsurname").rawValue == " ") { var vsecondname = event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.rightsideofform.Enquirer.Enqsurname ").rawValue.toString(); } else { var vsecondname = event.target.xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.Table1.Row1.rightsideofform.Prospectiveclient.C lientsurname").rawValue.toString(); } var myPath = "/MGLCC01-SV/MGPdata/Mihomecare/testce/" + vDate1 +"_" + vfirstname + "-" + vsecondname + ".pdf"; // saveAs is the only privileged code that needs to be enclosed doc.saveAs({cPath: myPath, bCopy: true, bPromptToOverwrite: true}); app.endPriv(); });
Can anyone suggest why the If code above doesn't work? or how i could get the form to submit even if the fields are blank?

It can also work if you certify the document and each user chooses to trust it to execute privileged JavaScript, which may be feasible in this setting. The method you'd use is doc.saveAs: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html

Mail rules question on subject and sender fields are empty

I am getting blank messages delivered to my mailbox and the subject and or sender's name are empty, how do I set up a rule to just delete them?

You know, the messages might not actually be blank. I've been steadily getting more and more coming in blank what when I view the source, the messages is there but Mail isn't displaying it. I'm still trying to find some fix for this, but thought you might like to know before you delete them all.

Dropdown List Not Refresh with Static PDF

Hi,
I'm using LiveCycle ES2 version 9 to design my form and view using Acrobat X Pro. In my form, I have a dropdown list that binds to a data connection to populate the list of products available. The SQL query of the data connection is as simple as below,
"SELECT ProductCode, ProductName FROM PUB_Product WHERE ActiveInd = yes"
Everything works perfectly when I save my PDF in dynamic form. However, due to some limitation with dynamic form, I have no choice but to save the PDF in static form. Problem with static form arises when there are changes to PUB_Product table which could be adding/removing product, setting an active product to non-active and etc. In case of any changes, I have to re-open the PDF in LiveCycle and save it in order to have the latest data reflected in the form. Is there anything I can do so that the changes to the product table will straight away reflected in the form without having to re-save it?
Thanks in advance for your advise.
Regards,
Steven

Hi Paul,
Thanks for helping. I'm using Acrobat to view the PDF form. Thus, shouldn't have any problem connecting to the database.
I've captured some screenshots as below and hope it helps you understand my situation better.
This is my Access database
This is my PDF. Added a data connection "Product" using SQL Query "SELECT ProductCode, ProductName FROM PUB_Product WHERE ActiveInd=yes" whereby it will only extract the "active" products.
Binded the product code dropdown list with "Product" data connection to populate the list.
The output of the PDF form. Only the active products are being listed.
Now, if let's say I add a new product to my PUB_Product table, the dynamic form will straight away list the new product but not the static form.
Dynamic form
Static form
In order to see the new product listed in the static form dropdown list, I have to re-open the form in Live Cycle and just simply save it. So my question is, is there anything I can do to skip this "open and save" step?
Thanks.
Regards,
Steven

How to check a checkbox field value in fw9 PDF form

Hi,
I got a PDF given form IRS (http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf). While creating a widget to this pdf form to sign it, I merged the custum data to those PDF form fields using API setMergeFields.
All the data fields are merged fine except the checkboxes. I tried by passing the values to the merge_fields array as 'On', '1', 'checked', 'checkbox(checked)' but no luck
What is wrong here in checking the chexbox field in this fw9 PDF or How to check a checkbox field in a form?
Thank you,

Hi Simon,
I re-added and edited the fields of fw9 form by pdf printer. While doing so, I made fields as ready only so that, the data cannot be edited in the form through the widget but will be merged the data to fields only be the code. Wherein Im using the widget only for signature but not for form filling.
Here, Im able to merge my custom data to all fields while creating widget but not to the fields of checkboxes. The checkboxes fields which are made ready-only are not allowing me to merge the value as checked by the API.
Please help me,
Thanks you,
