Dynamic image in Adobe Form

Hello experts,
I have created a form with the transaction sfp and want to bind in an image. This image has to be dynamic, so that it can be changed, if necessary.
Is it possible to have an image in a structure and this structure in the interface of the adobe form in sfp?
The structure will be part of a web dynpro for abap context. So I will create the dynamic in the web dynpro component.
Can someone help?
Thanks a lot!
Best Regards
Ingmar

Dynamic Images in adobe

Hello All,
I have a requirement for dynamic images on Adobe form.
I have some images stored on portal server in a afolder called images which gets upadeted every hour . I have developed a java webservice which can get this images from the portal server.
The reponse of the webservice is like " http://<Hostname>:<portnumner>/images/abc.png". I have impoted this webservice as Adaptive webservice model in WD.
I have executed this webservice in WD and binded the response to IFRAME UI element and I am able to images(http://<Hostname>:<portnumner>/images/abc.png).
Now I want these images to be on the PDF.
I have installed and configurred ADS and binded the Webservice response as Datasource to the intercative form. I am able to see the datasourcse in the data view of the interactive form.
Now when I bind the response to the Image Field UI element I am unable to see the image.
Please let me know if anyone has any idea on this.
Thanks,

Hi Naresh,
It's an issue with ADS. Exactly not an issue but a requirement. The server on which images are available, has to be exposed to ADS.
Your Admin might help you on that.

Images in Adobe Form

Hello All,
I want to display images in Adobe form. I've done the following. The images are not static but dynamic - for each time the form loads the images are different.
1. Created the image field (Va_Image)
2. The URL for the image comes from a Context node which is mapped to the PDF DataSource.
3. i mapped the context node to a invisible TextField (Image_URL)
4. I wrote the following script (to set the href of image dynamically) in the initialize event of the Page1 on which the text field and image are present
xfa.form.Vn_MasterRecord.Page1.Va_Image.value.image.href = xfa.form.Vn_MasterRecord.Page1.Image_URL.rawValue
5. On preview of the PDF in Adobe Live Cycle Designer, i get the image correctly.
However, when i execute the Webdynpro application (java), the image doesn't appear on my final screen.
Any pointers? am i missing something?
Points assured for good answers.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
ak

Hi Arun -
For dynamic image,
You cannot directly display a logo which is uploaded in se78 on an adobe form. The image format needs a conversion.
- You can write this code in your interface section.
- Create a global variable g_logo of type xstring."converted logo and v_name of type STXBITMAPS-TDNAME. "logo name in se78.
- Pass these parameters of the image in se78 to this method.
CALL METHOD cl_ssf_xsf_utilities=>get_bds_graphic_as_bmp
EXPORTING
p_object = v_object " 'GRAPHICS'
p_name = v_name " Name of the logo as in se78
p_id = v_id " 'BMAP'
p_btype = v_btype " 'BCOL' (whether the image is in color or black and white)
RECEIVING
p_bmp = v_field
EXCEPTIONS
not_found = 1
internal_error = 2
OTHERS = 3.
g_logo = v_field.
- The variable g_logo will have the converted image.
- Drag g_logo into the context from the interface.
- Finally, in the context of the adobe form, make a graphics node and choose Graphic Type as Graphic Content.
- The Field should have the global variable g_logo and the mime type is 'BMP' (with quotes).
- Create an image field (not just image. That would be static) and in binding, bind it to g_logo and check the check box u2018Embed image datau2019.
I think, this should work.

Merging of cells of a dynamic table in adobe form

Hi,
I am trying to Merge 2 columns in a dynamic table in adobe form.The requirement is to merge column 3 and column 4 if column 4 is empty. I used the below javascript code in both "Form ready " and Initialize event of the row.
if (this.Cell4.rawValue == " ")
this.Cell3.colSpan = "2";
this.Cell4.presence = "hidden";
Note : Since above code was not working , i used the below code in my subform also but it did not returned desired output.
if(Table22.Row1.Cell1.rawValue == " ")
Table22.Row1.Cell3.colSpan = "2";
Table22.Row1.Cell4.presence = "hidden";
The problem is that in my dynamic table , its the second row where the requirement is fulfilled ie in the 2nd entry of my table the column4 is blank (the exact row number might change depending on input data).
is there a way to loop in the dynamic table and check if column 4 is empty for a particular row.
the above code does not help to fulfill my requirements. kindly help.
Thanks

Multiple images into a subform in a dynamic non-interactive adobe form

I want to convert a set of images into a PDF (one page for each image) with Webdynpro. I'm trying with a non-interactive adobe form.
I followed the tutorial "Dynamic Non-Interactive PDF Form".
I've got a multiple Context node: 'Images' with a string attribute 'url' for each image.
In the form, I've created subform1, and subform2 within. I put an image field into subform2, setting its url to: $record.Images[*].url
and its script to: this.value.image.href = xfa.resolveNode(this.value.image.href).value;
It doesn't work.
If I add a field into subform2 binding it to url attribute, I can see some lines with the correct path for each image, but the image isn't displayed.
It works with a single dynamic image in the page. What am I doing wrong?
Regards
Anibal Pozo.

No. It's form scripting. In any case I'm working with Webdynpro Java.
I tried this code in table 'initialize' event.
for int=0 upto $record.nImages do
Table1.Row1[int].ImageField.value.image.href = $record.Images[int].url;
Table1.Row1[int].Cell4.value.#image.href = $record.Images[int].url;
endfor
Cell4 is a static image.
In 04SP9, it show always the same image in the image field (first column), and alternating image in cell4 (second column).
In 04sSP6, it shows always the same image in all the rows in both columns.
Any idea? I didn't find any OSS related.

Dynamic Text to be displayed as Image in Adobe Forms

Hi ,
I have a requirment to display dynamic text in the image format in the Adobe Form.
I have tried using the Image field instead of text field.But could not solve the problem.
kindly help me.
Thanks.

Hello,
if you send a text into a text field to the print form, it looks like a paper print, you cannot tell where there is a picture and where is the text. So you don´t care about the image/ text problem. If you need to make difference between two for the user, you can put the text (your image) into a rectangle, use a background or anything like this.
Why would the image make any difference?

Populate Default Dynamic Filename In Adobe Form (On Click of Save in Menu) - SAP

Hi,
We have a scenario in which we want to populate the file name dynamically in Adobe form integrated in SAP Webdynpro.
Scenario -
A adobe form has been intergrated in the SAP webydnpro application which opens the form in Web Browser (IE).
There is a save button which is part of standard adobe form menu and on click of that save button (circled - 1 in image ) the name of the form ( i.e techincal name of adobe form created in SAP {ZTESTSS} ( circled - 2 in image ) appears.
We want to change the default name to (employee_date_time ) on click of save.
We have found a approch by using the folder level javascripts (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2266799#2266799%232266799).
In case we use folder level scripts "where should we write the JavaScript code in the Adobe Form to trrigger the this script on click of Save Button (in the menu)?"
Also is there any other apporch which does not require folder level javascript as its a security issue also we need to maintain in all the user systems.
Please let me know the approch to address the issue.
Thanks .
Tausif

Hi,
you can't change the behavior of the save button in the browser nor in Reader/Acrobat.
You can add a custom button within your form which calls a custom script from a folder level script using the browserForDoc method.
The browseForDoc methos is the only one whcih can change the name in the saveAs dialog.
Here's an example., you can run from Acrobat console.
You need to combine it with the solution from the other thread to make it work with your form.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2266799#2266799%232266799
var oRetn = app.browseForDoc({
    bSave: true,
    cFilenameInit: "MyForm.pdf",
    cFSInit: "",
if (typeof oRetn !== "undefined") {
    this.saveAs({
        cFS: oRetn.cFS,
        cPath: oRetn.cPath,
        bPromptToOverwrite: false

Getting Dynamic image in PDF ( form R/3 as URL )

Hi gurus ,
I am using a wd java application . In that i want to show employee pic in adobe form . I have RFC in place , that gives me URL (ex : http://retep.... ) containing employee pic Context is of type string
Now i have craeted a image field in PDF .when i directly binding context data to image dield , Image is not being displayed. i am not sure about scripting and how to bind that context to image field , so that based on the url it dynamically displayes employee pic.
Any suggestions are most welcome .
Regards
Abhay

In RFC instead of giving the URL ,tell them to give the image as a bytestream.And convert that byte stream into gif or jpg image using the following code,,,,,
byte[] pdfContent=wdContext.nodeOutput().currentOutputElement().getTestform();
     IWDCachedWebResource pdfResource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(pdfContent,WDWebResourceType.JPG_IMAGE/* or u can use GIF_IMAGE*/);
     try{
          wdContext.currentContextElement().set<this is a user created attribute of typw string>Pdfurl(pdfResource.getURL());
     }catch (Exception e) {
          wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(e.getMessage(),true);
And bind this pdf url to an iFrame or adobe interactive form it wil work..
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Inserting Images in Adobe Forms

hi all,
My requirment is that i need to print three diferent logos in a single form by validating them with the company code.
i have to print the respective company code logo in the adobe form how can i do that and tell me the steps for the formcalc coding.
Thanks in advance.
M.Phanindra

Hi Phanindra,
Place the All Images in Form and Go to the Form Ready Event ,
Initially Hide all the images,
Assume,
                   image1.presence = "hide"
                   image2.presence = "hide"
                   image3.presence = "hide"
Place the one textfield for validating images,
Goto the Exit event of the textfied, there u will write a code for visibility,
if (textfield1.rawValue = "1") then
         image1.presence = "visible"
else if (textfield1.rawValue = "2") then
       image2.presence = "Visible"
elseif (textfield1.rawValue = "3")then
      image3.presence = "visible"
endif.
This code, may help for u,
