Delete leading zeros for a field on the pdf form

Hi,
i know it is possible to delete leading zeros via abap coding in the interface.
But is it also possible to this directly on the pdf form - scripting or a setting?
Thank you
Kind regards
Manfred

I believe you can set this up as a field display pattern (if you use LCD 8.1 or something like that).
Or you can script that out. In formcalc you can easily process characater by character, test if that is zero and remove it.

How to delete leading zeros for amount fields

Hi all,
I have problem with the leading zeros, where I am populating nearly 30 amount fileds in my statement.i want to delete leading zeros.
I have tried with shift and pack.
and I cannot call every time the function module *alpha_output or input.
can anybody suggest me the better solution.
Regards,
Sre

You could use a syntax like
SHIFT: w10a LEFT DELETING LEADING '0',
       w10b LEFT DELETING LEADING '0',
       w10c LEFT DELETING LEADING '0',
       w10d LEFT DELETING LEADING '0'.
or using macros like
DEFINE delzero.
shift &1 left deleting leading '0'.
END-OF-DEFINITION.
delzero: w10a, w10b, w10c, w10d.

Leading Zeros won't display on a PDF form

Hey, I am using Acrobat 7.0 professional on my Windows XP system. I have a PDF that was sent to me by someone known. This PDF is already fielded (meaning, I can type in my name and other relevant info in the form). However; I am trying to populate info on this PDF using an online data collection tool. Therefore, I deleted all the original fielding from the PDF and fielded it again using the naming conventions that match with the online data collection tool variables. After doing so, all other information is populating very well on the PDF but the values with leading zeros are not populating on the PDF. When I double click that field to check the properties and go to the "Options" tab, I see the value with leading zero that is being extracted from the online data collection tool; however it is not displaying it on the form. Moreover, if I try to modify any of the properties of that field; the value with leading zeros suddenly appears on the PDF Form.
Could anyone please assist me to identify as to what is causing the values with leading zeros not to populate on the PDF form...
Any help would be much appreciated...
Thanks!

Well, that was my guess. It may be that it is there, but you can't see it. There have been some issues of the information in a field not always displaying correctly. I have not experienced it, but remember such happens. You might want to search the forum. Bill

&symbol(<)& Display Leading Sign to the Left
&symbol(>)& Display Leading Sign to the Right
&symbol(C)& Compress Spaces
&symbol(.N)& Display upto N decimal places

Delete leading zeros for material in mapping.

Hi,
How to delete leading zeros for material like 0000000128736 if so I am expecting 128736 only.
We need to consider if I get material number is like RPG2389 .
Thanks,
Vinay.

Hi,
If you will be getting alphanumeric codes, it would be best to use a UDF with a regex-expression.
UDF Type:
ContextType
imports:
java.util.regex; (if you are using PI 7.1 you must remove the semicolon)
arguments:
input1
Here's the code (courtesy of Sun Developer Network):
        Pattern p = Pattern.compile("[^a-zA-Z]");
        Matcher m = p.matcher(input1[0]);
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
        boolean output = m.find();
        while(output) {
            m.appendReplacement(sb, "");
            output = m.find();
        m.appendTail(sb);
result.addValue(input1[1]);
Now to solve the leading zeroes, just add formatNumber: 0 after the UDF and it will work.
Hope this helps,

Multiple users signing the pdf form

I have date fields in the pdf form in which the signed date is inserted when each user signs the form. Although the Digital Signature property in pdf provides date property on the signature image. But we have a business requirement to show date field separately on pdf form. Suppose User1 signs the application and the date is inserted in its corresponding date field. But when User2 signs the application and the date is inserted the signatures of User1 gets invalidated.
Is there any way by which pdf field can be made editable even after one user signs the application?

PDF supports multiple signatures on a single form or document. When using a form, you can use field collections to associate specific fields to a certain signature and lock those fields after signing, while leaving other fields accessible. There are many posts throughout this forum that discusss this functionality, here is one... http://forums.adobe.com/thread/769340
As for signature status, applying a second signature (or more) after a form or document has been signed will NOT invalidate the original signature, however it will change the status of the original signature to something like "Valid with signed changes". Each subsequent signature will change the status of the previous signature, but this is not the same as invalidating a signature.
This behaviour is by design as a signature applied to a PDF signs the entire byte range of the PDF, not just a portion of it.

Table fields to match pdf form

I found this on my formscentral help file.
Note: Some types of form fields aren’t supported when you import a PDF form. For example, text fields with formatting applied, such as numeric or percentage fields, are converted to plain text fields. And, signature fields aren’t converted, as Adobe FormsCentral doesn’t support this type of field.
For more information, see Issues encountered while importing an existing PDF form.
http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2533
What I have experienced.
Formscentral does not allow you to format the table in their views when you use a pdf as the form, only if you use the online form.
I found that when out when I got 6 decimal points when multiplying tax, which was .04166. On the pdf it defaults to 2 decimals.
Another thing I noticed. My pdf form date field was set to MM/dd/YY. When I just put in 5/06 in that field, on the pdf form it auto corrected it to 05/06/13. When that pdf form was submitted to formscentral, that field showed 5/06. So it is pulling exactly what you input into the pdf form regardless of how the pdf form corrects your mistakes.
My real question is if Formscentral Is working to allow you to set the table format to work with pdf's too?
If not are you working to add calculated fields to the online form?
Not complaining just wanting. The product is awsome as is but this would take it a step further.

Javascript to fill text field from other PDF form

I am trying to figure out if it is possible to add javascript to a text field that when initiated pulls text from another field in a closed pdf in the same directory.
For example I have a NAME field in the pdf form I am working in....
When I initiate the script the NAME field is filled in with the same data from another PDF that is closed.

I have looked up the 'disclosed' property and it looks like that is what I want to do..
I have "this.disclosed = true" in a PDF with the name field. On the other PDF that I want the information replicated I am going to add a javascript to an action somewhere on the document, my problem is which script do I use to get this data from the other pdf? Is the pdf that is now accessible via javascript (disclosed) a data object?

How to get the leading zeros for decimal values?

Hi,
How i wil get the leading zeros for decimal values.For CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT it is not working.Now iam using overlay condition for getting leading zeros.But iam getting the value like 00013.500.But as per my requirement i want to display this value 0000013.5.
my code is
                overlay w_MetLife_detail-rdempsalary with '000000000'
                data :rdempsalary     type char9
Please help me on this.

Sujan

Hi
For more info,
The function of the statement UNPACK is based on the fact, that the BCD display of a decimal place corresponds to the second half-byte of code of a digit in the most character representations. This conversion is commonly called "unpacking".
The statement PACK to pack is obsolete and can be replaced by MOVE.
If destination is specified as untyped field symbol or as untyped formal parameter and is not flat and not character-type during execution of the statement, then an untreatable exception occurs in Unicode programs. In non-Unicode programs, an exception occurs only with deep types, whereas flat types are treated as character-type types.
Example
After the assignments,char1 and char2 contain the values "123.456" and "0000123456".
DATA: pack TYPE p LENGTH 8 DECIMALS 3 VALUE '123.456',
      char1 TYPE c LENGTH 10,
      char2 TYPE c LENGTH 10.
MOVE   pack TO char1.
UNPACK pack TO char2.
Regards

Removal of leading zeros for material no. in report

hi
my issue is that i have to remove leading zeros for material number when displaying in alv grid.iam getting output.but leading have to truncated automatically.
eg: 000000000000000102
the ouput should be 102.
please do provide solution for this or any function module.thanks in advance.

Hi Sanjana,
while populating the internal table use the conversion exit available for MATNR. this will remove the leading zeros.
oter possible way, declare the internaltable by referring the data element MATNR, i hope if you do this, it will delete the leading zeros automaticallt.
or if you declare the internal table field as charecter type, use the ALPLA_CONVERSION_EXIT_INPUT ot OUTPUT function module to remove the leading zeros.
Reward the points if it is helpful..
