Dynamic form generation

Dynamic NX form generation from recordset
Quite often I've needed different forms (edit from an ADDT nextensio list)
dependent on user level or company
it would be very useful to be able to define the form fields from a recordset first
rather than create individually tailored forms
Paul

Hi
1. You're on the wrong forum. Please post on the LiveCycle designer forum.
2. Use a Table or a repeating subform. Bind the table row to "persons[*]" and the column cells to person/first_name.

Hi Kanthan,
For making ADOBE application from webdynpro you need many softwares insatlled on server as well as on your client system. So, for complete details look at the following weblog :
/people/achim.hauck/blog/2005/02/04/my-struggles-with-the-adobe-document-services-in-was640
You require all sotwares specified in this weblog. And also enable Activex control & Plug-ins in Internet Exploler. From your Error stack, i guess that you are using Mozila Explorer. So, change it to Internet explorer 6.0.2.
Do all these installation and let me know whether its working fine or not.

Create a dynamic form where selected text boxes appears, based on options chosen in a drop-down box

HELP!!! Can anyone please provide some guidance on how to create a dynamic form where selected text boxes appears, based on options chosen in a drop-down box.
I have a form which – based on the department that's selected from a drop-down box – will have different form fields/text boxes, etc, made available.
Is this possible in LiveCycle, if so, can you please provide the script/info - as needed.
Thanks,

In the preOpen event of the second dropdown list you put something like (in formCalc):
if (dropdown1 == 1) then
$.clearItems()
$.setItems("Year, 2 Year, 3 Year")
elseif (dropdown1 == 2) then
$.clearItems()
$.setItems("3 Year, 4 Year")
endif

Get values from dynamic form items

Hi All,
I create a dynamic form with text input component
private function buildForm():void{
                var numberOfColumns:Number = 5
                var formItem:FormItem = new FormItem();
                var hBox:HBox = new HBox();
                for(var i:Number=0; i< numberOfColumns; i++) {
                    var formInput:TextInput = new TextInput();
                    formInput.text = "test";
                    formInput.id = "txt_" +i;
                    hBox.addChild(formInput);
                formItem.addChild(hBox);
                loansForm.addChild(formItem);
I can see the text input components, update the values.
How can I get the updated values from the input components?
I try this["txt_" + i].text but not working. It's not finding the component with the dynamic value.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Johnny

How to create a dynamic form with bind variables :schema & :table_name

My application has two LOV's, one to select a schema, and the next to select a table within that schema. I then have a button which passes me to a report which displays the data in that table.schema.
I now want to create a link to a form where I can edit the record based on the rowid of that table.schema, but it doesn't appear that I can create a dynamic form where I pass the schema.table_name and rowid. Is this possible? Can anyone advise how I can do this? The form builder only wants a fixed schema/table name.
Thanks in advance.
Stuart.

Hi Stuart,
In this sort of situation, you will need to be a bit creative.
I would suggest a pipeline function called as if it was a report.
Then you can pipe out the required fields.
Since you will have a variable number of fields, you could use two of the multi row field names for your field names and values.
Then after submit, you can create your own procedure to loop through the fields (stored for you in the Apex package) and update the table as required.
Not very specific I'm afraid, but it should work.

Dynamic Forms and WF

Hello,
I have designed a dynamic form, where user can add rows dynamically by clicking a button on the form, the form is working fine in preview in designer.
this form is initiating a LC WF process, but, if I deploy this form to form manager as an XDP and choose to render it to PDF, adding rows function does not work, however if I save this as dynamic PDF from LC designer and deploy it again to form manager, it works !!
However, I can not use PDF generated from LC Designer since I found that commenting and annotations are not working ( I am using acrobat ) which is an important feature, also, web services calls are not working even, again from Acrobat!
How can I set the form server installed with workflow server to render XDP templates into dynamic PDF forms ?
Or alternatively how to enable commenting and fix web service calls in PDF rendered form ?
Thank you for help,
Greetings,

By default Forms and Form Manager are configured to render a PDF as either static or dynamic based on some values in the XDP. By default those values will tell it to render a static PDF. What you can do, in Designer save as a dynamic PDF, then open the dynamic PDF in Designer and save as an XDP. Upload that XDP to Form Manager, the tags will be present to tell it to be rendered as a dynamic PDF. There's a better way if you are using Designer 7.1 and Forms 7.1, but since I don't know your environment this is a way that will work regardless of versions.
Annotations will not work in dynamic PDF's though. Currently annotations make no sense in dyanmic PDF's since the template of the PDF can dynamically change while annotations are bound to a specific location. IE: You have a dynamic PDF that is initial 4 pages and add an annotation to page 4. Later the template of the PDF changes based on data and user interaction and it is now a 2 page PDF, but the annotation is still on page 4 which no longer exists...

Remove scroll bars in dynamic form

Hi all,
I'm starting to kick myself every time I put a post here. Apologies and thank you for everyone's help - slowly but shortly I'll be one of the people answering the questions.
Really easy one (I think). A have a dynamic form, which updates a dynamic list. Is there a way to alter a text area in the dynamic form, so that it is a fixed area i.e. when you get to the end of the line/characater usage, the cursor goes down to the next line rather than creating a horizontal scroll bar and running forever into the distance. I have played around with Wrap options without luck, the css doesn;t seem to play much of a part as this is an actual text area in Dreamweaver as opposed to a CSS clipping in the list.
Thanks again,
Nathan

Perfect! Thank you Albert. Is it possible to add virtual wrap to a box in a dynamic list? As that is not presented in a normal html form'ish style way.....?
Hi Nathan,
as a Dynamic List displays pure text only, you´ll need to help yourself by formatting the displayed column using PHP. There are several ways to add "virtual" line breaks, and the most straightforward (though certainly not the most elegant) solution would be to apply the PHP function wordwrap which wraps a string to a given number of characters.
The following example will wrap the text after 40 chars, and the "wordwrap" function will - as always - have to replace ADDT´s default "KT_FormatForList" function:
<?php echo wordwrap($row_rsqueryname1['columnname'], 40, "<br />\n"); ?>

How to make my dynamic form pages flow correctly?

I have created a dynamic form which has multiple questions with expandable text fields that will take multiple pages once completed. I do not know how to make the form flow correctly past the first page. I can attach the form if I knew how to do that.

Thank you Paul. Your editing assistance was greatly appreciated. I think I now understand that there should be only one page subform that is flowed, regardless of how many text box objects I have in my questionnaire. This did the trick.

Is it possible to update multiple tables with a dynamic form?

I have columns from two tables populating a dynamic form. I am trying to have the form update both tables on submit. I have tried both a linked transaction and a custom transaction but I am not making progress. Only the master table is being updated. Is it possible with ADDT to update two tables with a dynamic form?

My dynamic form - issue with saving data (urgent-i would greatly appreciate any help)

Hello,
I have some problems with this dynamic form (created in livecycle) http://www.pathology.ubc.ca/Academic_Activity_Data_Form_Jan_4_2013.pdf . It doesn't save data unless I add a' new row' to any of these tables.   There are a few text fileds and if I type anything in there data won't be saved unless I trigger it by adding randomly a table row. This is big problem as this form will be used for updates and if I want to change any of my entered records I will always have to remember to 'add a new row' otherwise just adding/changing text won't be saved. This might sound confusing but you will understanding what is going on if you type in your name and save the form and then type in your name, add a table row and save the form (first case won't be saved second will).
I would greatly appreciate any help.

Firefox checks on the server if the file has been modified if you use the back button.<br />
If the page was requested by sending post data to the server then Firefox sends that post data and asks for confirmation.<br />
You can try to use the tab history of the Back button skip sites that require sending post data.
You can also try if it works if you set to never check the server by setting the browser.cache.check_doc_frequency pref to 2.

With a PDF Dynamic form using show/hide actions, how to ensure that when the completed form is saved, closed and re-opened, the form still show the fields as before it was closed?
I have developed a form with fields hidden by default, that become visible based on box ticked or radio button selections.
My problem is that, when I close the form and re-open it, it comes back to it's default presentation, regardless of the information already recorded in the form (including in the now hidden fields.
How to correct that
Thanks in advance for any hint you can provide.

I've had the same problem. This solved it...
Go to the "Form properties..." in the File-menu. Select "Run-time" to the left and in the box "Scripting" Preserve scripting changes to form when saved: choose Automatically (Script-based state changes are saved locally in an insecure fashion. This option cannot be used for certified forms).

Saving dynamic forms in Acrobat Reader

How do you create PDF dynamic forms and save them so that they can be completed and saved in Acrobat Reader.

Thank you very much for your help. As I said this was my first attempt with Livecyle. I had sold the concept of dynamic forms to a collegue and promised to do a dynamic form one for him before going on a winter holiday. Completed the form in a hurry only to find I could not enable users with Acrobat Reader. My worry was that I would not be able to save dynamic forms without additional software, but your helpful comments confirm its something I have done that is causing my issue.
I think Livecycle is a great product, but fragmented information is available for individual users. Bought the Book PDF Forms Using LifeCycle Designer (Acrobat 9) and joined PDFscripting web service which are both good in there own way. I get confused with Adobe's help, not being IT techie and the difference of Enterprise Editions of LifeCycle on how to get the best out of LiveCycle.
Many thanks George for you assistance, I will retry when I return from my winter break.

How to get the index of subform in dynamic Forms??

We are creating a Dynamic Form in which there is a field "PAN number" in a block. With the Script, we are replicating the blocks. Suppose there are 10 blocks (hence 10 PAN number fields will be there) and if the user wants to enter the PAN number in any of the blocks, how can we get the index of the block on which a value has been entered?

Are you sure you are using JTree? (I couldn't find a method named getIndex at all!)
As I couldn't quite understand what you are getting at, one thing that would be helpful is if you refer to "How to use Trees" in The Java Tutorial:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/tree.html

Rich Text in a XML Dynamic Form

Hi guys,
I'm having a problem accessing the property "richValue" of a text field.
What I'm trying to do is get comments entered in a text field to be added to a list of comments(rich, text Field), similar to chat window. So each comment added (via a button click) will be formatted differently depending on other form parameters.
Using LiveCycle Designer ES to create dynamic pdf form, target version 8.1 or higher. Testing using Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 .
All text fields have richText switch on and also the Binding data format has been set to "XHMTL", only because Designer was whinging about it.
Have tested:
]var field = event.target.getField("form1[0].#subform[0].txtAddComment[0]");
console.println("Comment: " + util.spansToXML(field.richValue));
]undefined "is the result".
Also tested:
]var field = event.target.getField("form1[0].#subform[0].txtAddComment[0]");
var comments = event.target.getField("form1[0].#subform[0].txtComments[0]");
]comments.richValue = field.richValue;
]"nothing happens, no error, fields don't change nothing"
OK is rich text supported in xfa dynamic forms?
My aim is to be able to take someone's comments, format them and add them to a list of comments (like a log of comments), via javascript.
Can anyone assist? It will be much appreciated.

send me your form,will try and fix it for you
