Dynamic Creation Form
Hi friends,
Is there a way to create dynamic creation forms in ADF,in jdev 10.3.3?
By this I mean--I need to populate a table in my DB and on my page I have an add button,
now at each click of add button,a new creation form should be displayed on the page one below the other.
finally there would be a Save button that would save all my entries to the table.
I searched a lot for the same...Please do help if anybody has any ideas..
Thnks in Advance..c ya

Hi,
well, the easiest would be to create an updateable table and add new rows. If you need a form then you can use af:forEach or af:iterator with the table binding to render input form elements (more like a custom table rendering). However, its quite a bit of development that is required for this.

Dynamic Creation of UI in adobe forms??
Hi Experts,
I need to create a dynamic interactive form and dynamic UI elements in the interactive form.
As per my requirement I need to display a pdf and I will be getting values from the RFC's. I need to show the form segments and the UI elements only when there's a data from the RFC else not. I am unable to understand whether this requirement needs generation of the UI elements dynamically or I can do it statically as well.
The form thus generated will be having data from the RFC which based on the data quantity may exceed to n number of pages.
In case it needs dynamic creation can you suggest me please how to achive it in interactive forms?
Helpful answers will be appreciated.
Warm Regards,
GauravHi,
subForm1:-
Flow content
Allow page breaks
Place: following previous-----> This means when you are repeating the subform the previous one should be followed.
Say you have a table and have 3 columns in it.
After 1st column is completed, the next column should come with 1st comun
After: Continue filling parent--->Continously fill the data with the parent element
Repeat sub form min count is 1 : Minimum of 1 line item will be printed
Height: Expand to fit is true.: If the field height is increased it automatically expands.
For help in Adobe Press F1 or Goto Help--> Adobe Designer Help in Adobe Designer
After installing Adobe Designer, goto the specific folder
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Designer 8.0\EN you can get sample documents.
For help press F1 after opening designer.
Sub Form1: Content--> Flowed, Flow direction --> Top to bottom
Binding --> Check the checkbox Repeat Subform for each data item
Subform 2: Content --> Positioned, No pagination No binding settings changes needed.
Hey i forgot to mention the Header Subform where you create all these subforms should be flowed.
Try it once like this and lte us know

Java Library for dynamic PDF form creation similar to LiveCycle Designer
Hi
I have a requirement as below :
Requirement : I need to create a dynamic PDF form with a barcode of type PDF417. Where a user can fill the form offline and after click on some button it will save the form offline and generate a barcode in the same PDF. Later on usaer can take a printout or send the saved pdf as it is.
Currently I am able to create such pdf from using LiveCycle Designer. But I need to create it manually using designer and then need to apply Reader Extension on it using livecycle server.
I want to do this programatically. I would like to create a similar form using some Java Library.
Is it possible to create it dynamicaly(using programs)? how ?
Does any one know how to acheive this ?
Can anyone help me please ?
Thank you very much in advance.I heard about LiveCycle ES3 server and was wondering if it could be of any use in my scenario. Can some one explain how to use jar files in standalone application . I explored the livecycle forms api but could not figure out how it may be used ?

Getting started with create dynamic XML forms
I work for a software vendor that is developing a C#.Net data entry system designed to replace a paper process. The original forms come from a 3rd party and are paper form, such as a tax form, loan application form, etc. The goal is to be able to enter data on the screen in a form that looks like something like the original form and then to print out the form that looks identical to the form on the screen.
The system is designed to allow the end user to create the forms. The process is that the end user creates the fields in the C#.Net application, then pick from those fields to build the form. During data entry, the fields are both pre populated by the C#.Net application and the results are saved back to the C#.Net application.
The data entry and print all needs to be embedded into the core C#.Net application and NOT rely on any outside systems like the LifeCycle system.
Is there some way to embed PDF creation in the C#.Net application (or in a traditional C/C++ application for that matter)? I am under the impression that is what dynamic XML forms is all about. Is dynamic XML forms an Adobe thing or an open standard?You are funny I clearly state that I do *NOT* want to use LiveCycle Designer and you go tell me to post a question in that forum Hopefully someone else will come along which can actually address my questions

How can you update the content of a textfield in a dynamic xml form from MSAccess and VBA
I am trying to use the code below to update a field in a dynamic xml form created by Livecycle.
I can read the field content but cannot change it.
What am I missing?
Thanks
R
Sub test()
Dim oPDF As AcroPDDoc
Dim FileDestName As String
Dim jso As Object
Dim ofld As Object
FileSrcName = "C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\ADOBE Forms\NoVB.pdf"
Set oPDF = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
Set jso = oPDF.GetJSObject
Set ofld = jso.getfield("form1.TopForm.Header.Subform1.Contact")
Debug.Print ofld.Value
ofld.Value = "HHH"
Debug.Print ofld.Value
oPDF.Save PSsavefull, FileSrcName
oPDF.Close
Set jso = Nothing
Set oPDF = Nothing
End SubYou need to research the difference between an AcroForm and an XFA form. You're trying to access a "Field" object, which is an AcroForm object. An XFA form does not have fields, it has nodes. The JavaScript you are using is specific to AcroForms and you are working with an XFA form.

Hi,
I want to create a tabstrip dynamically.The tabstrip should have 3 tabs, and in each of the tabs i want to put some UI elements like a label, input field, dropdown, tables.........etc.
Im able to create the tabstrip and add tabs to it dynamically.
I've even created the UI elements which i wanted to put in the tabs.............But im not able to proceed as i dont know how to add the UI elements to the tabs.......
Can anyone tell me how to add UI elements to a tab in a tabstrip?
Regards,
Padmalatha.K
Points will be rewarded.Hi,
Following code will help you to understand the dynamic creation and adding them
//Tabstrip
IWDTabStrip tabStrip = view.createElement(IWDTabStrip.class);
//Tab
IWDTab tab = view.createElement(IWDTab.class);
//Input Field
IWDInputField inputField = view.createElement(IWDInputField.class);
//Adding inputfield to tab
tab.setContent(inputField);
//Adding tab to tabstrip
tabStrip.addTab(tab);
//Finally add this tabstip to either your root container or some other container.

Dynamic creation of ComponentUsage
Hi people,
I want to reuse a view (ViewA) in different views (ViewB, ViewC, ViewD).ViewA has a quite complex logic, so it is necessary to outsource this view. Not only the logic, but also the count of UIElements and contextelements is quite large, for this I don't want to implement this part redundant in the views A, C and D.
I have to use ViewA in a table in the TablePopin UIElement. Every line of the table should have its own instance of ViewA. Is that possible?
My idea is it, to put the view in an own component. For every tableline I need an instance of the componentUsage. My problem is now, that I'm not able to create at runtime a ComponentUsage and at designtime I don't know how many instances I need. Is it possible in webdynpro to create dynamic instances of ComponentUsage?
If you know an other way, that prevents me from implementing the view and its logic more times, please tell me!
Thanks in advance,
Thomas MorandellHi Thomas,
just for clarification. Principally it is possible in Web Dynpro to dynamically create new component usages of the same type like an existing, statically declared one. This means after having defined a component usage of type ISomeComp (component interface definition) you can dynamically create new component usages which all point to the same component interface definition ISomeComp:
wdThis.wdGetISomeCompUsage().createComponentUsageOfSameType();
But this dynamic creation approach implies, that you must also embed the component interface view of this component usage to the view composition dynamically; and this is (unfortunately) quite cumbersome and complicated based on the existing Web Dynpro Java API (it is not yet optimized for a simple dynamic view composition modification.
Additionally, like Valery pointed out, the dynamic creation of new component usages is not compatible with table popins.

Dynamic creation of date in selection variant
Hi All,
I have a Z program for updating a field in BOM item. One of the input field in the report is "Valid From Date". Actually the current date is automatically fetched through a function module and it is defaulted in that field.
Our client is using selection variant for ease of use. The problem here is old date in the selection variant is replacing the current date. I want current date to be created automatically during insertion of variant also. How can i solve this problem. Is there any selection variable inside the variant for dynamic creation of Date?
Thanks
SankarAs I know there is no setting for this. For any std or Z report variant function with L should act same way...anyway you discuss with your ADABer.
See the help for variables
Selection Variables
The following three types of selection variables are currently
supported:
o Table variables from TVARV
You should use these variables if you want to store static
information. TVARV variables are proposed by default.
o Dynamic date calculations:
To use these variables, the corresponding selection field must have
type 'D' (date). If the system has to convert from type T to type D
when you select the selection variables, the VARIABLE NAME field is
no longer ready for input. Instead, you can only set values using
the input help.
The system currently supports the following dynamic date
calculations:
Today's date
From beginning of the month to today
Today's date +/- x days
First quarter ????
Second quarter ????
Third quarter ????
Fourth quarter ????
Today's date - xxx, today's date + yyy
Previous month
o User-specific variables
Prerequisite: The selection field must have been defined in the
program using the MEMORY ID pid addition. User-specific values,
which can be created either from the selection screen or from the
user maintenance transaction, are placed in the corresponding
selection fields when the user runs the program.
The SELECTION OPTIONS button is only supported for date variables that
fill select-options fields with single values.
i.e means we can do that with D also. -
Adding rows in web dynpro ABAP Dynamic Interactive form.
Hi Experts,
I am having problem in web dynpro ABAP Dynamic Interactive form.
This is my scenario....
I have a dynamic interactive form that has buttons to add and remove rows in a table. It works fine when I preview it , but when I render, view or save it using ADS, it no longer works. The "add" button actually does instantiate more repeating rows, because I put some trace messages in to count them, but the added rows are not displayed. How do I make them visible?
In web dynpro java we write some coding in modify view to set the pdf form as dynamic
IWDInteractiveForm iForm =
(IWDInteractiveForm)view.getElement("<ID>");
iForm.setDynamicPDF(true);
simillarly what we need to write in web dynpro ABAP.
Please give me solution for the same.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have created a ADF creation form using updatable VO.
I have three list boxes, theaterId, AreaId, SalesSegment. if i select theaterId list box it should refresh the list for areaId and salesSegment.

When i run the page dependant lists are not showing data.
If i create the ADF form with same VO, functionality is working fine but it is not working in the Creation form.
Pls help me to resolve this issue.

How to make dynamic PDF form flowable across 2 pages in LiveCycle?
I have a dynamic PDF form that is flowable on each page but not both. By that I mean that the fields on the 2nd page won't move to the 1st page if there is available space. How can I make the entire document flowable? I am using Adobe LiveCycle ES2 Designer to create the form. Thank you in advance.
Hi,
you need just one page which is flowable and allows page breaks. -
Adobe Livecycle Designer ES 2 - Adobe Dynamic XML Forms?
How can you convert a dynamic XML form design in a static PDF Form design? I tried to save a dynamic XML Form as a static PDF Form, and then tried to preview it in Designer but the layout change scripts were working which should work only for dynamic xml forms and not for the static pdf forms. Please suggest another way to do it. Thanks in advance.
You use Master Pages to set layout that you want to use on multiple pages.
Design what you want in a Master Page and then assign it to the pages you want in Object>Pagination>Place: and choose On Page> whatever you called your Master Page. -
Adobe Reader XI - dynamic PDF Form and the E-Mail Dialog
Hi Community,
I have a dynamic PDF Form and we use the E-Mail function to save the XML-Data to local harddrive. That works until Adobe Acrobat Reader 10.1.2. But with the Adobe Reader XI (11.0.4) the E-Mail Dialog has changed so I am One is forced to send the XML file with Outlook or the internal mailer and has no option to save the file locally.
Does anyone know a workaround or something similar. The Live Cycle server with PDF extension is too expensive for our small project.
E-Mail Dialog (10.1.2)
If you choose Internet-E-Mail you get a Save-As File Dialog
E-Mail Dialog (11.0.4)
There is no way to save the XML-Data to local Harddrive.Hi Pat,
Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
I guess I should not have updated the reader. -
Hyperlink in a dynamic PDF form

I've created a dynamic PDF form in LiveCycle designer, and I want to insert hyperlink in to this form - but I don't know how to do it. My Link Tool in Adobe Acrobat is inactive.
Any advice?
Cheers

Hello everyone,
I am trying to find an application for my Curve 3300 that is able to render Adobe Dynamic XML Forms (it's a .pdf form, but it is created using LiveCycle Designer and has dynamic content that makes finding a renderer difficult.)
I've tried the free trial of beamberry, and it isn't able to render the form... I get a "you need a newer version of adobe reader" error.
Has anyone else out there had the same issue? If so, how did you resolve it? Can PDF To Go read dynamic .pdf forms?
I'd appreciate any help that any one can offer.

P.S. does anyone know which version of Adobe Reader is functionally equivalent to the Blackberry .pdf reader apps? Is it possible to know that, or are they two different creatures altogether?
P.P.S. I figure that alot of people won't have any experience with dynamic .pdf forms... Here is a link to a sample dynamic .pdf form that I created for testing purposes. If you think that you have an app that can read it, please try opening the linked .pdf file on your blackberry. If anyone out there is able to view it, please let me know what software you are using. Thanks alot for your help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.For anyone in the future who has a similar issue, I've come up with a fairly simple workaround. It adds an extra step of work, but it allows you to continue using dynamic forms in your workflow.
The ideal solution is if your office has a server-side adobe document output service. You can push your form to the server, have it extract the data into a datawarehouse, then output a flattened .pdf. A flattened .pdf cannot be (easily) edited, and all code behind is removed. This solution is the 'best', (and it's the only way to flatten an xfa form, as far as Adobe is concerned) but it also costs some coin, especially if you don't have any existing infrastructure to support the server-side service.
The free solution (which I have opted for) is to use a virtual printer to 'print' the document to a suitable format. There are many free virtual printers out there, but I have decided to go with CutePDF Writer. I print to the CutePDF writer, and the output is, essentially, a flattened Blackberry compatible .pdf form. The only issue is that you cannot edit a flattened document (a bonus in my situation, but still something to keep in mind... You can still edit the original document, as the flattened .pdf is a copy, not a transformation.)
You can even add a print button to the form with some JavaScript to specify the printer as 'CutePDF Writer'. Altogether, it's easier than recreating all of the business forms that have been made in a static format, and you can still leverage all the benefits of a dynamic form.
I know that this isn't central to the Blackberry, and I apologize for that, but I had a rough time with this issue, and I'm hoping to help someone with the same issue in the future. Again, thanks to those who helped.
