Designate form field type during import process Acrobat 10

Is there a way for me to assign a type of form field to content in Word when I import it into Acrobat to create a form? Acrobat knows to create entry fields when I input underscores after text, and it knows to create digital signature fields when it sees the word "signature" followed by underscores.
However, I'm having a problem with check boxes and radio buttons. I've been creating them manually, which means they're never exactly the same size or positioned exactly right. It's also very time-consuming. Is there something that indicates to Acrobat that it should create a radio button or check box, much like the underscores tell it to create an entry field?

No there's not. But there are a number of things you can do to create fields that are the same size and quickly align, as discussed here just the other day: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1087979?tstart=0

Making GL Account field editable during Approval Process

Hi Experts,
We are in SRM 7.0 and using process controlled workflow.
As a business requirent,we want the GL account field to be editable during the approval process i.e during approval process,approve wants to change the GL account in the shopping cart as the GL account may not be correctly entered.
Is it possible to make the GL account field editable during approval process?if Yes,please share how it can be done.
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.

Hi,
You can find info in help.sap.com.

Level Type: There are 3 possible entries. Approval with completion, Approval and Automatic. Within
a completion step the document can be changed by the approver if the u2018Changeableu2019 flag is set.
Within the approval phase, the document can only be approved or rejected but not changed. It is not
possible to mix the two phases of completion and approval. The completion phase is always before
the approval phase. The automatic step is a final means of validating the approval process, and to
verify that at least one step was returned without any error (example: event 0EV999). Depending on
the task ID assigned to the automatic step, the document will then be either approved or rejected.

Multiple form field instances populating ES Process Mgr variables

Hi ES Process Designers,
I am building up a new process in which the user can add instances of one to many fields in a form. I'm trying to find a way to populate a variable(s) with the second or greater instance of a form field value.
When using a List variable I can retrieve process_data/field[1]. It appears that the form isn't returning a list of all instances as process_data/field[2] remains empty. Possibly I don't understand how the form returns data to the process?
Variable = Variable1, type List
Location = /process_data/FormField
Expression = /process_data/myForm.pdf/ ... /data/FSFIELDS_/FormField[2]
Any assistance with this will be very much appreciated. Thanks,
Rod

Hi
Try opening your form in Acrobat, and exporting the data.
This will show you the format of your data, and should give you a clue about how to reference it using an xpath expression.
It's also highly recommended that you design an XML schema for your form, which will allow the Xpath expression browser to see "inside" the fields in your form. Please see the Designer docs for more information.
The official LiveCycle training courses also cover these techniques.

Can't print "Form Fields Only" from newly-installed Acrobat Reader XI

I have created numerous forms for our agency on which our employees used (in previous versions of Acrobat Reader) the "Form Fields Only" print function. We finally got the boss to give us the OK to upgrade to Acrobat XI Pro for me, and Acrobat Reader XI for the employees. However, they open the same forms we've been using and find that they no longer have the menu option to choose "Form Fields Only" for printing purposes. I would be very grateful to anyone who might be able to steer me in the right direction as to how I resolve this issue. Unfortunately, the job does not afford me a lot of time for research and "playing" with new software, and we need to have these forms work for us by Thursday. Help, please! And Merry Christmas to everyone!

One possible workaround is to export the form data and then import it into a "blank" version of the same file, that has only the form fields. This would require using a script to export and import the data, and to create that additional version of the file for printing purposes.
Or you can put the file's contents on a non-printable layer when creating it...

Change/new/delete highlighting during import process

Hi everyone,
I intend to use SAP NW MDM to consolidate master data from external sources.
During the import process, I would like to see a highlighting of all new, of all deleted and of all changed records. The reason herefore is the following: before I actually load the imported data into my MDM repository, I want to check the data. Just in case, some corupt data was loaded.
Can I do this in the MDM Import Manager?
Best regards, Daniel

hi,
Whenever an imported record is new or changed, a timestamp could be set (which is most likely set already anyway). After importing the data I could run a routine which shows me all records that have not been updated. I could then delete these records or set them as "inactive".
What do you think about this workaround? Is it feasible in MDM?
Yes this is feasible in MDM. Whenever one record is changed / updated by user, the record will be updated along with the timestamp.
you can view this in data manager.
if you want to select some records and mark them as inactive, you have to create a field.
hope this may help you,

Srinivas

How do I put a timestamp in a form field in a business process?

At a specific step in the process, when a user approves a form, I would like to put their name and a timestamp in a text field that is locked. I think there are some different ways to do this, but each has their own issues.
Javascript in form:
I could do this via javascript before the form is submitted, but how do I know which step in the process we are in?
Business Process:
I don't think I can directly access the form from the process. I can read from the form, but cannot set values, correct?
Custom Render Process:
I have a custom render process but I would need to extract all the data from the form, merge with the xml for the new field, then merge back in with the document. Not sure how to do this.
Any ideas on what the best way to handle this would be?
Thanks

Hi,
You can use the executeScript component to set the timestamp in the form or varible. Mention below is an example to get the timestamp in dd/MM/yyyy format.
java.text.DateFormat dateFormat = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat(
"dd/MM/yyyy");
java.util.Date date = new java.util.Date();
String datetime = dateFormat.format(date);
System.out.println("Current Date Time : " + datetime);
patExecContext.setProcessDataStringValue("xpath of the form field or variable", datetime);

Field Type in Import Manager

Dear all,
I am importing Vendors in MDM SP4 that I extracted from BI. In Import manager my Vendor and GN_Vendor fields appears with numeric type but I created them in the Console with text type. I also cheched the xls input file but they are in text format. Can you please tell me where to change the field type from numeric to text.
Because I can only import Vendors who have numeric name.
In advance thank you for your kind help,
Aklilu

Hi Aklilu,
As Far as I understand,
the problem is with your source and not the destination.
The source field type from BI, is numerical and this has to be changed to text in the source
The destination field is a text field and hence no need to change the field type in MDM.
Hope this helps you solve the problem.
Let me know the result.
Thanks and Regards,

Acrobat 6 filled form fields show up empty in Acrobat X

ITunes locks up frequently during importing process

Problem started after successfully ripping about five CDs. Purged the start up sequence of programs that may have been intruding on the iTunes signal and that worked for a good spell. After ripping about 1300 songs, the problem started again and I'm getting tired of rebooting. I've tried the uninstall-reinstall option with no luck.

I just downloaded Itunes 7.4.1.2 and have been debugging freeze-ups (hard ones that require a full system reboot)as well.
Old or new CD's doesn't seem to make a difference.
Error correction or or off: no diff
EZDC creator 7.5 removed: no diff
All extraneous programs stopped (including AV): no diff.
New memory in my PC: no diff.
All other ripping software works OK (EAC, WMP, creative labs)
Then I changed from the AAC 256 Mbps encoding method to MP3 (320 Mbps) and so far, it hasn't frozen.

Change ivoice doc type during sales process flow.

Hi all!
I have encountered a problem:
AS IS:
1. sales order document type is configured in spro field: <b>Dlv-rel.billing type</b> F2    Invoice
2. after delivery I get invoice of type F2
AS SHOULD BE:
1. I need to have a different invoice type created after delivery on a condition based on customer master data.
Is it possible to program it or change copying requirements so that I would get what I need?
I am not interested in new sales order doc type creation.
Best regards,
Michal

Michal,
Your second requirement is standard,
Coming to your second requirement.. Are you expecting to create the billing document through the Billing due list VF04 and get the doc created with specific billing doc type for a particular customer?
                        If So , I don't think you can achive this. I feel you should come up with a Custom billing program or (Customized VF04) where in you can check the Billing due list for a particular period, or delivery range or customers...and based on the customer you can select the target billing type from the Z tables and do a BDC Code for VF01 by entering the target billing type in the screen. Before this you need do to the necessary copy controls for the bililng types you are going to use
                 This is my opinion. Lets see any one proposes any User-Exit to achive this.. Even though I say its not possible, I will wait for our Genious SDN'ers response.
Regards,
Ajai.

Oracle 10 -   Avoiding Duplicate Records During Import Process

I have two databases on different servers(DB1&DB2) and a dblink connecting the two. In DB2, I have 100 million records in table 'DB2Target'.
I tried to load 100 million more records from tables DB1Source to DB2Target on top of existing 400 million records but after an hour I got a network error from DB2.
The load failed after inserting 70% records.Now I have three tasks. First I have to find the duplicate record between DB1 and DB2. Second I have to find out the remaining 30% records missing from DB2Target.
Third I have to re-load the remaining 30% records. What is the best solution?
SELECT COUNT(*), A, B FROM DB2TARGET
GROUP BY A, B
HAVING COUNT(*) > 2
re-loading
MERGE INTO DB2TARGET tgt
USING DB1SOURCE src
ON ( tgt .A= tgt .A)
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
INSERT ( tgt.A, tgt .B)
VALUES ( src .A, src .B)Thanks for any guidance.

when I execute this I get the folllowing error message:
SQL Error: ORA-02064: distributed operation not supported

Acrobat 9.1.0 Standard ... Can a field type be changed?

Created a new pdf form from Excel. All fields were converted/created as Text fields. Some I want to change to List fields and some I want to change to Check Box fields. Can this be done within Acrobat Standard? I can only find the ability of creating new List fields or Check Boxes (not changing).

Unfortunately this is no quick and easy way to change form field "types" only the properties. You'll need to delete the text form fields and replace them with check boxes or list boxes as appropriate.

Is there any way to set a property for all existing Form Fields of a particular type (Che

In versions of Acrobat prior to version 9, selecting a particular form tool (Textbox, Checkbox), etc. would only display Fields of that particular type in the Acrobat Designer (not LiveCycle).
If one wanted to change a particular property of all check boxes for example, one would select the Checkbox Tool, Click Edit>Select All>Right Click one of the Checkboxes and Set the Property for all of the Form's Checkboxes.
Selecting a particular form tool in the Acrobat (not Lifecycle) Designer in version 9 appears to no longer filter the display to that particular form field type. Is there any way to display only 1 particular form field type in or set a particular property for all existing Form Fields of a particular type (Check Box, Text Box, etc.) in Acrobat 9?

Thanks for the tip..Am aware of this option and have used JavaScript to batch change properties in the past...
Am looking for a way to replicate the interactive procedure available in previous versions. Also, want a way to only display certain Form Field types (use this when analyzing forms which I didn't create).

How to make Acrobat Pro 7 form fields same size

I can manually enter form fields in my version of Acrobat Pro 7 but I have to hand draw them. is there a good way to make them all the same height? I know that if I copy the form field that I draw, it will link itself to whatever form field I copied it from.
TIA

The best way is to copy & paste the fields, and then rename them so that
they are no longer "linked".
If you have many such fields to rename, you might want to consider this
tool, developed by me:

Unable to open the export file during Import ABAP phase on tar(System copy)

Hi Experts,
We are encountering the following error during Import ABAP phase on target system as we are performing system copy on target system as part of hardware migration(Data center migration).
Scenario:
Sourrce system - BI- ABAP(7.01), Win 2003 x64 unicode,Oracle 10.2.0.4
Target system - BI-ABAP(7.01), Win 2008 R2 unicode, Oracle 11.2.0.1
Actually on source system the data has been generated using migration monitor by using table splitting option and transferred on target system thru ftp option.
During Import process while selecting the Database installation type we have selected the installation method as "Standard systemcopy/Migration(load based)" and not checked the option "Start Migration montior Manually".
As far as my concern this error has nothing to do with this selection.please correct me If i am wrong.
