Drop down values in Adobe print form, WDA.

Hi All,
I would like to know, how we can dynamically display drop down values in an interactive form developed either through report programme or WD ABAP.
I passed an internal table, but it didnt work.
I tried the ISR way, even then i couldnt get much success.
I even tried using the dynamic properties.
As per my understanding, i need to pass the values as index- text pairs and add some script to the field.
Kindly help on the steps i need to follow. Any suggestions are welcomee [:)]. I require to fetch the DDL values from database tables.
Kind Regards,
- anto.

hi,
to populate the dropdown list you can do it...
1). manually or
2). by code
1). manually go to interactive form->edit
 go to Object tab->field tab ->
 you must see something like
 List Items :
 Text + x
 click on the green + sign...
 it promps you to type. type in the value press enter... and so on...
2) by Code...
 //set up contents of a drop down list dynamically...
 IWDAttributeInfo countryInfo = wdContext.nodeTravelData().getNodeInfo().
 getAttributeInfo().getAttribute("DestinationCountry");
 ISimpleTypeModifiable countryType =
 countryInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
 IModifiableSimpleValueSet countryValueSet =
 countryType.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
 countryValueSet.put("1","Germany");
 countryValueSet.put("2","UK");
This will work....

Drop down Values in Adobe form

Dear All,
Greetings.
I am using the Adobe interactive form for E Recruitement(copying the standard and changing it as per the requirement). When i am using the Drop down value for one of the field. Instead of the drop down its showing as a POP-UP with all the possible values.
I am not able to predict what the problem is. I need to have a drop down, instead of the pop up.
Please help me in solving the issue.
Thanks

Hi Ram,
Please use a Enumerated Drop down list ffrom the library, seems currently you have Extended Value selctor in your form.
This will hopefully resolve the issue.

Populate Drop down values to Adobe forms

Hello,
I am in the process of developing the HCM forms for PCR's. This is using old technology. How can I pass values to the Adobe forms based on certain condition selected in previous screen. For eg. Based on Position selected, I should have a certain value in Drop down pre-selected on the next screen and when the user does a drop down a list of the values should be listed. Where should do the coding for the subsequent drop down values?
Appropriate points rewarded.
Prasad

Here a change in the question below. Based on Position selected, I should have a certain value in Drop down pre-selected on the next screen from table IT1008
and when job is selected drop down from table T500P should be listed. Does this need to be handled in badi or in the Adove form scripting?
Thanks
Prasad

Drop-down liast in Adobe interactive forms

Hello,
We have 3 regions, US, Europe and Asia Pacific and each region has a manager.
Now, am developing a Interactive form with Webdynpro for ABAP (pls. note always FORM is only one) for these regions/managers. Manager pressess submit button for approval.
I have 19 drop-down (Enumerated drop-down with SELECT) fields in this form.
Regardsing the field 'DROP_DOWN_1' :
US manger should get 7 values in the drop-down list with a 'US_DROPDOWN' default, if manager donw want to keep this value, he can change/over ride and submits the form.
Europe manger should get 5 values in the drop-down list with a 'EUROPE_DROPDOWN' default, if manager donw want to keep this value, he can change/over ride and submits the form.
Asia Pcific manger should get 11 values in the drop-down list with a 'ASIA_PACIFIC_DROPDOWN' default, if manager donw want to keep this value, he can change/over ride and submits the form.
Pls. let me know
1) Is DYNAMIC drop-downs possible?
2) If so, where should i mainatin the code, is it in FORM level scrpting? webdynpro abap code?
3) If FORM level script, webdynpro has to pass these drop-down values to FORM via CONTEXT, is it right?
4) Any settings for this dynamic functionality either FORM setinsg to webdynpro settings?
Thank you,

Hi,
There are two options to do that, first by web service which suits best the offline scenario and another by server round trip which is possible in online scenario only.
For web service scenario you have to create data binding in the form with web service data node, (search SDN for suitable document explaining the scenario with web service for more info). Every time the user will choose value from DD the web service will trigger to fetch data based on user input.
Second scenario uses server round trip. In this method you have to call the submit method in web dynpro view with some conditions that it is called through DD to fetch values. Use some flag variable to differentiate between the final submit and DD value help submit.
There is one more option but the performance of the form will get affected based on the data used for the DDs.
In that method you have to maintain the data for each US, Europe, Asia in a table. Based on user input fetch value from that table in the specific dropdown using script on the form.

Vaibhav

Problem with Enumerated drop-down values in Adobe Forms (WD java)

Hi All,
have a scenario where, I have to fill in a dropdown dynamically when I click a button. I get the values from a function module. I have done this using Isimpletypemodifiablestep. It worked.I have the form too. But when I try to re-implement the same its working only if I give the values during initialisation .
Why is this inconsistent?
Can we modify Simple types only during initialization? I have tried to add the values to the drop-down in controller and map the attribute to view. Even that didn't work.

How to dynamically set Min count and Max Count values in Adobe Print Form?

How to set the Min Count and Max Count values dynamically in a Print Form?
The values when set should over ride the values set in Binding Tab.
This is all needed to print multiple Material Number labels on a single page - and the number of labels to be printed needs to be under user control - something like an Avery Address labels
Please advise.
Thanks,

Here is a work around that works for me and may not be an intelligent solution .
I kept the Min Count to 1 on the subform binding properties.
Per the number of labels required, I appended the same item to the internal table so many times and passed it to the label.
it works fine for my requirement.
However - leaving out the post for a while to see if this can be done at the form level via scripting.
Thanks,

Are you using LiveCycle Designer or Acrobat to create the form? This forum is for forms created with Acrobat, and dropdowns in Acrobat do not behave the way you want.

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. How can I fix this?

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. Can I fix this?

I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

How to get prefilled drop down list in Adobe form from WebDynpro context

Hi All,
We all know that we can have dropdown list in webdynpro which can be automatically populated by the context node collection.
How can we have the same functionality in Adobe form drop down list. I tried to bind the node attribute to drop down list in Adobe form but it shows me only first element. I am not able to see all the elements in the dropdown but if I am doing same thing for WebDynpro DropDown list I can see the complete List.

Hi Raj,
Its really nice to hear from you. getPDf is used for getting the pdf document to process in the code.
Say, i require to attach the PDF and send the form through mail. In that case, I flag this parameter and get the values in the result import parameter of the FM.
Hope this will give you some idea. You may refer Jeff Gebo's webinar or Vani krishnamoorthy's papers available in SDN, which illustrates, how you can attach a PDF and ssend the mail..
Hey, btw, i am posting a new thread regarding drop downs. Please reply to it [:D]

Anto.
