  • Value Help on Adobe Forms

    Hi,
    I'm trying to implement one search help (F4 on sap) on adobe forms. I just do this process
    For standard value help in Adobe forms:
    1) In layout chose UI element 'Value Help Drop-down List' from WebDynpro Native Controls of Library Palette.
    2) In Object pallete ->Binding tab, update Default binding with corresponding field .
    For ex: You have context like below
    -NODE
    -FIELD(type LAND1)
    In Default binding, $record.NODE.FIELD
    since LAND1 is a standard type, you will get all the values in value table T005 in the F4 help
    3) Make sure the 'Type' of the field in Object pallete ->Field tab is drop-down list.
    But i can't see any action on adobe. May the properties of the the attribute field on context are wrong.
    Anyone can help please.
    Thank you.

    This is the code that the program create:
                    var processingValueHelp = ContainerFoundation_JS.getGlobalValue(event.target, "processingValueHelp");
                       if(processingValueHelp == false) {
                           ContainerFoundation_JS.setGlobalValue(event.target, "processingValueHelp", true);
                           this.rawValue = "";
                           this.clearItems();
                           ContainerFoundation_JS.SendMessageToContainer(event.target,
                                                                         "valueHelp",
                                                                         this.dataNode.somExpression.replace(/(xfa.?\.)(datasets.?\.)(data.*?\.)/, ""),
                                                                         this.rawValue,
                                                                         event.target.mouseX,
                                                                      event.target.mouseY);
    What is suppose to change ?
    Thank you

    Pls help me reg this..

    Have a look at this link from the online help:

    You have to be sure you are using the ZCI form type, but then it allows you to link the value help trigger within the adobe form to the Web Dynpro value help.  The same functionality is simply not available in the older ACF form type.

  • How to use MICR fonts in Adobe forms (webdynpro java

    Hi,
          We have a requirement where we need to print some MICR codes (for checks) through Adobe Forms.
    I have installed some true type MICR fonts in windows and Adobe Font Manager (in ADS) as well.
    It is visible in the Adobe Form design time (Font palette) and when I use the font for text, it is visible in preview too. But when I run the web dynpro application, in the online form it is converted into Standard font (Times new Roman).
    Is there anyway to handle this issue.
    Please let me know.

    Hi,
    Once check this thread
    Re: F4 Value help on adobe form doesn't work.
    Note: dont forget to link the context attribute to search help. ie. in the context properties of the attributes select the input help mode as dictionary search help and specify the name of the search help present in data dictionary.
    In the above link compare your system basis & patch level.

  • Internationalize Interactive Forms WebDynpro Java

    Hi all,
    I follow all the instructions in the How To Internationalize Interactive Forms by Adobe for WebDynpro Java.pdf guide and I got the Internationalize in my Development Environment, but when I transport my Web Dynpro App trough NWDI, the Internationalize does not seems to work.
    I already check this path in my production environment
    /usr/sap/sys ID/INSTANCE NUMBER/j2ee/cluster/server0/temp/webdynpro/public/wd project/webdynpro/Components/com.mycomponent
    and I got to see all the xdp files version (_en,_es,etc) for the Internationalize. Also the ADS configuration is set on the same server for my dev and prd environment.
    Also if we forced the Adobe Form to take the xx_en.xdp the form is displayed in English.
    Any Ideas for what could be the problem. 
    Regards,

    We Open an SSO note to SAP and they told as to set xx_EN.xdp, xx_ES.xdp, xx_DE.xdp, etc using the Locale in uppercase

  • F4 Value Help on Adobe Interactive Form with Web Dynpro ABAP

    Hello,
    I have created an Interactive Form with ZCI type.
    I placed a text field MATNR on the form.
    Then I placed a Native WD UI element 'Value Help' as mentioned in the below link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/42/fb2fe500553ee4e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
    This form was then embeded into Web Dynpro ABAP view.
    The problem is that when I click on the F4 button, nothing happens.
    Is anything else needs to be done?
    Thanks
    Sagar

    Hi Amol,
    After binding the Context variable in the view, and in the Adobe Layout Designer from the Library go to WebDynpro Native Tab and drag and drop the Value Help and for this automatically JavaScript is being generated, go that script and edit the line
    Var fieldname = "yourfieldname";
    Note: Don't forget to link the context attribute to search help. ie. in the context properties of the attributes select the input help mode as dictionary search help and specify the name of the search help present in data dictionary.
    And now go to Utilities and click on u201CInsert Web Dynpro Scriptu201D.
    Also make sure that you specify the Layout as ZCI Layout in the Propertioes of the Adobe Form.
    Ragards,

  • Please Help! Adobe Form and Access

    I have created multiple forms using the Adobe Designer 7.0. These forms are used by about 100 users and I would like to capture the information being keyed. How do I establish a connection from the form to a table in Access, so that the information keyed in the Adobe form will fill the table in my Access database?.....Also is there a book available for the Adobe Designer program?

    An easy way to post information to a database would be to put a submit button on your form, and set the target to, for example, an ASP file, which receives the info and dumps it into a database. Direct database connections using ADBC only use DSN's on the local machine. So, if you wanted everyone in your organization to connect to a specific Access file, you would have to set up the DSN on each and every computer that will use the PDF. There is also SOAP capability, but I believe it only works in version 7.0.
    Here's a link to the most recent documentation for Designer functionality:

  • Reading the drop down value in interactive adobe forms in WDJ

    Hi,
    I have a scenario like this:
    Drop down menu with values being populated from model . when i select the value from drop down and update the backend with that value, it is not done. It always takes the same value ( first one in the drop down list) and fails to take the selected value.
    could anybody throw some light as how to deal with the drop down in adobe forms in WebDynpro Java?
    Are there any specific settings for these?
    I have taken the drop down menu from WebDynpro Native library.
    Kind Regards,
    Charan.

    Hi Charan,
    Did u try to populate the data into the dropdown with the help of Simple types.
    I faced the same issue, that got resolved when i binded the dropdown with Simple types that were populated.
    Hope this helps.

  • Adobe form & webdynpro which interface shoud i use?

    Hi Richard,
    As of NetWeaver 7.0 SPS10 we strongly recommend you use ZCI forms with an XML interface only.
    Because additional central features have been added in subsequent SPs (input help and dropdown list boxes),
    we generally recommend that you always use the most up-to-date Support Package for Web Dynpro ABAP.
    We recommend that you always use forms with an XML interface. Existing forms with an
    ABAP Dictionary-based interface can be used as print forms. We do not recommend their
    use as interactive forms.
    Please go thru the below link, i copied the above text from this link only. You will get an clear idea where to use XML Interface and ABAP Interface.

  • Hide Toolbar and Value help drop downlist

    Hi,
    I created a IF with a Value help drop down list. I also make use of the Hide Toolbar options. The drop down list has an input like:
    key - text (eg. 0001 - Holiday)
    The pdfMode is "UpdateDataInPdf".
    When i run my wd everything works fine. What i want to do is this: when the user push the button "next" i want to show the IF in a read-only mode. What i did, is that when the user push to button i change the PdfMode from "UpdateDateInPdf" to "GeneratePdf" (also tried "UsePdf") and change the "enabled" property to false.
    What happens is, the Adobe toolbar is back and the value help dorp downlist shows the key instead of the text.
    If i don't change the "enabled" property it works well, but than it's still possible to change data in the form.
    I am using NW04 SP16.
    Hope somebody can helps me.
    Kind regards,
    Maarten Duits

    Hi Maarten
    in general, right now there is no standard (i.e. non-hack) way to make a physical interactive PDF form read-only.
    The only sure way this would work in your process is to send the data back to the backend and have a second (practically identical) template ready in the background to generate a read-only version of what the user saw previously.

  • SAP Search help in Adobe forms

    Hi ,
    Can any one help out by mentioning the steps to capture details using webdynpro with search help and then switching on to pdf application with those details?
    Regards,
    Deepthi Lakshmi.A.

    hi, Jkuma,
    we met the similar situation with you while developing a anpplication form for HR.
    our conclustions are:
    1. it's not feasible to put all the data into the form, it will make the form too big and slow, so it must be a online interactive form
    2. you may put a search field to let the user to input some kind of criteria and do the search on the r3 side and return the hit list on the form , but it's not so easy to develop a table control on the form using javascript to get the selected one.
    3. so we built a 'selection screen' , using webdynpro for abap,
    it will show up before the form, while can use ddic search help, to make the selection, then put all the selected entries into the adobe form for further processiong.
    how this is helpful hint for you.
