Dynamic Interactive Form Properties

Hi,
Im trying to create dynamic interactive form.
What are the Form Properties that I have to set to Preview Dynamic Interactive Form.
I have a radio buttons, when I select one, a related subform must display. Kindly guide me for the procedures to follow to implement.
Regards
Prasad

Hello Prasad,
First of all: Are you creating the forms in the Netweaver Developer studio, or in the SAP-Gui?
Next: I am not really sure what your question is, what you want to achieve. I think you want to to display an interactive form instead of a normal PDF. If this is not the case, could you elaborate please?
If you are in the SAP gui: You can execute the function module which includes the Form. You'll have to give some parameters, and one of them is the structure /1BCDWB/DOCPARAMS. In this structure, you have the field Fillable. If you mark this field (eg. punt an 'X' to it), you'll have the interactive properties of the form enabled.
I don't have a NDS in the neigborhoud atm, you'll have to wait for that part.
Good luck!

Creating a dynamic interactive form

I have been working at trying to get a text field that expands when more text is added to the field. I have been looking at the sample Purchase Order form that came with Designer and when I look at the properties of the subform for the comments field near the bottom of the page I see options that are grayed out when I look at the properties of the subform that I have made. I'm just not getting it and seeing what to do to get thing to work.
For example when I go to look at the Object > Subform properties everything is grayed out except the Type, Presence, and Locale fields. In the Object > Binding properties everything below Name, Default Binding and Import/Export Bindings fields is grayed out.
Without knowing what else to look into I'm stuck.
I have tried working with the tutorial in the Designer help but there is no tutorial for a dynamic interactive form just a dynamic form that apparently doesn't work the same way.

OK. I think I got this figured out why the fields are grayed out.
But how do I get a field to grow when I finaly open the pdf document in Acrobat 7?

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,
Sathish

hi all,

Hi Vinoth,

MODE query, related to interactive form- properties.

hi,
when i goto Interactive form -> properties-> mode....
there are three options in the dropdown....
*update data in pdf
*use pdf
*generate pdf
can someone give me links to tutorials...etc
on how to use the three different modes effectively.
regards,
-ag.

Dear Amol
Depending on this property, your solution is react differently. An interactive form based pdf also contains the its template. Your WebDynpro has a context. Depending on this setting the WebDynpro will use the existing pdf including its data or it will use the existing pdf and update its data with the data of the WebDynpro context or it will generate a totally new pdf document based on its template on the server.
In the help you can find some addition information about the use of this property in combination with the other properties of the Interactive Forms UI element.

Dynamic Interactive Form

Hello friends,
I ve created a dynamic purchase order form(Interactive form) which has a dynamic table which adds or deletes the table rows on click of a button.
This part works fine when i preview the pdf file..rather when i deploy the application,
the dynamic content like adding and deleting rows does not work..Friends, if anyone of u have faced this issue and solved, please get back to me with the solution.
Regards,
Karthikeyan

Hi,
Other than checking if xACF is installed, you can check one more thing:
In your Adobe lifecycle Designer, open your form,
Goto, File --> Form Properties,
Goto the Defaults tab,
Select "Dynamic PDF" for the XDP Preview Format:
Click OK.
This setting will now allow dynamicity in your Form, when you view it in PDF Preview tab.
This will solve your problem.

Hanoz

How to send Dynamic Interactive Forms through mail?

Hi all,
I'm trying to sent Interactive Forms as attachment through mails.
Everything works fine as long as the Content of this Interactive Form stays static.
When I add dynamic elements and test this in SFP, they work.
However when they get sent by mail, the dynamic content is lost and gets back Static.
Does anyone has ABAP code or any other solutions so that the PDF gets send as an Dynamic Form?
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards,
Maarten

Hi,
I'm working from the Web UI. This is BSP. Here I add 2 Methods (GET_PDF and SEND_MAIL).
The GET_PDF gets all data for the form and then sends the FORMOUTPUT to the SEND_MAIL method.
Here I add the PDF as following:
First I convert it to BINARY and then I add it as attachment.
Do I need to add it as another TYPE or ....
+ CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
    EXPORTING
      BUFFER                = ip_formoutput-PDF "PDF file from function module
    APPEND_TO_TABLE       = ' '
IMPORTING
    OUTPUT_LENGTH         =
    TABLES
      BINARY_TAB            = lt_att_content_hex
lo_document->add_attachment(
    EXPORTING
      i_attachment_type    = 'PDF'
      i_attachment_subject = 'Your appointment Details'
      i_att_content_hex    = lt_att_content_hex ).+

Enable Commenting on Interactive Form

Hello,
I am a bit of a newbie in javascript programming but I have been using Livecycle to design basic forms. On the basic forms I created, I had no problem allowing the user to attach a file.
Just recently, I created a dynamic interactive form that works great (I started the design on Livecycle 8.0 but just recently upgraded to version 8.2 that came packaged with the Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended). I have opened the finished form on Adobe Acrobat, extended reader rights, however, in Reader, it is not allowing attachment of file (basically---not allowing commenting). [NOTE: I am using reader version 9.1]. I went back to Acrobat to make sure I did the reader rights enabling correctly and copied the complete message below. I don't know why under the Note below it says that security permissions already exist that do not allow commenting. I looked at the properties of the form on Livecyle and under PDF Security, both boxes to restrict document opening with a password AND restrict printing and editing of document with a password are both unchecked. So it does not seem that there are restrictions. I don't know why it's behaving this way. Can someone help me?
Thank you.
MESSAGE from Acrobat when extending Reader Rights:
The following features will become available for this document when opened in
the free Adobe Reader.
- Save form data (for a fillable PDF form only)
- Sign an existing signature field
- Digitally sign the document anywhere on the page (not available for XML
forms; only supported in Adobe Reader 8.0 or later)
Note: Security permissions already existing on this document do not allow
commenting or signing the document other than signing existing signature
fields. Once Reader Enabled, certain functions, such as editing document
content or inserting and deleting pages, will also be restricted.

Well, it's a bit more complex.
Acrobat Pro does allow forms to be reader extended for commenting. In fact, the rights include form fillin and save, creation and modification of form fields (including adding digital signtures), applying a digital signature and adding comments. But there are two other things that can be getting you:
You can't put comments on a dynamic form... only static or pdf artwork
You can attach files to a PDF in one of two ways. The first is an attached file in a comment. The second is as an embedded/attached file (this is the file support that is now called portfolios). There is a Reader Extension right called "additions and changes to embedded files" that is needed for this. It is only available through the server-based Reader Extensions and not in Acrobat.

How to binnding the data in the adobe interactive forms for making a table?

Hi, experts,
Function:
Through the sharing context node between adobe interactive form and a WDA for ABAP, display the data of the sflight_node in the ADOBE.
version:
Acrobat Reader 8.1.0
currently both of the SAP-ABA and SAP-BASIS SP level: 9
ADS : Successful.
The following is my action:
1.     Create a interface (Z_SFLIGHT_INTF) with a attribute node (SFLIGHT_NODE) that type is "sflight" using the transaction code "sfp"
2.     Create a form (Z_SFLIGHT_FORM) using the transaction code "sfp" with the interface Z_SFLIGHT_INTF.
3.     Trag the sflight_node in the Z_SFLIGHT_INTF to the form( Z_SFLIGHT_FORM).
4.     Open the layout tab in the form(Z_SFLIGHT_FORM), and create a table(table1). Click the table created just now, select the binding tab in the object tab, and in the Default Binding, select the SFLIGHT_NODE under the Z_SFLIGHT_FORM.
Problem 1:
Do you tell me whether is right for binding the context SFLIGHT_NODE using this way? If bind 3 context attributes in the sflight, how can I do it?
5.     Create a WDA for abap (ZZ_02_SFLIGHT), and create a view(MAINVIEW) using transaction code "se80" in the sap-gui with adobe interactive form. Set the templatesource(Z_SFLIGHT_FORM) in the adobe interactive form properties and saved, and then, datasource is "MAINVIEW_Z_SFLIGHT_FORM" automatically.
6.     But I only found the attribute SFLIGHT_NODE under the context node(Z_SFLIGHT_NODE), and I don't found the NODE ( SFLIGHT_NODE ) context in the context tab in the WDA for abap so that I don't set data to the context NODE (SFLIGHT_NODE).
Problem 2:
Do you tell me what can I do it so that I get the node SFLIGHT_NODE rather than attribute in the WDA for setting the data to the CONTEXT NODE (SFLIGHT_NODE)?
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Tao

Submit Button doesn't response in Interactive Form

Hi Guys,
    I'm trying to implement a simple interactive form which is embeded in a abap webdynpro program.
    I've set the interactive form properties as following:
    displayType: native
    enabled: X
    onSubmit: CLICK
    and there has been a action "CLICK" with event handler and corresponding method implemented.
    For the interactive form i have drag and drop a submit button for webdynproAciveX group, and doens't change anything for this button. I check the "*click" of this button and it is run at Client.
    When I run this webdynpro program, the button is there, if i move my mouse onto this button, the mouse will change to hand shape. But if i click this button, it doesn't look like it has been really pushed down and up, I also tried the external debug of the OnClick method, I cannot get into the debug either.
    Do you have any idea what might be the problem?
Thanks in advance,
Mao

Hi,
When you are in the transaction SFP , then in the SAP tool bar you'll find the "Utilities" Menu bar, there you will be able to find the "Insert WebDynpro Script", when you click on this you'll in the Form in Heirarchy Pallete under the Variables you can see a script Object named "ContainerFoundation_JS" is being inserted. And Other Important thing is in the Properties tab of the SFP Transaction there select the Layout type as "ZCI Layout".
And when you insert the Submit button from the Library Pallete under "WebDynpro Native", then you'll find the below code in the Script Editor
// DO NOT MODIFY THE CODE BEYOND THIS POINT - 800.20070410093956.383622.376748 - SubmitToSAP.xfo
       ContainerFoundation_JS.SendMessageToContainer(event.target, "submit", "", "", "", "");
// END OF DO NOT MODIFY

"Submit" button in Adobe Interactive form does not trigred.

Dear all
I am working with interactive form and i am using *click event with formcalc. When I click these button nothing seem to happen.
i tried with javascript also.
Event has following code.
// DO NOT MODIFY THE CODE BEYOND THIS POINT - 710.20060821084622.325745.280724 - SubmitToSAP.xfo
ContainerFoundation_JS.SendMessageToContainer(event.target, "submit", "", "", "", "");
// END OF DO NOT MODIFY
I am using the following versions:
Adobe livecycle 7.1
Adobe reader 9
SAP: EHP4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0 / NW7.01
Interactive form properties:
DiplayType: Native
Enabled: True
Form layout:ZCI
Interface: XML
Submit button used from Web Dynpro Native.
Can someone please help me resolve this issue as it is very criticial for me.
Many thanks,
Ravikumar.

Hi Ravikumar,
Your ABAP backend is of version NW7.01, but your ZCI script version is 710.20060821084622.325745.280724.
This is a very old ZCI script, delivered with NW 7.00 SP11 or SP12.
I assume that your ADS is still running on a NW7.00 system (JAVA stack!)
You have to update the ADS and you have to update the ZCI script of your form. See SAP note 999998, search for "The Web Dynpro application hangs during submit". There's a detailed explanation + solution description.

Binding problem from adobe interactive form to SAP

Hello All,
I'm using SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio 2.0.9 SAP WAS 2004s SP11.
I'm tried to exercise with document "How ToCreate Online and Offline Forms in Web Dynpro for Java" (you can check it this link https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/4fd2d690-0201-0010-de83-b4fa0c93e1a9). I could run it succesfuly but i have a problem. I couldn't get data from Adobe Interactive form when i click "Submit to SAP" button. All field value return with "null".
The code is like that;
public void onActionFormSubmit(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
 //@@begin onActionFormSubmit(ServerEvent)
 String name = wdContext.currentTravelDataElement().getEmployeeName();
 String costcenter = wdContext.currentTravelDataElement().getCostCenter();
 String city = wdContext.currentTravelDataElement().getDestinationCity();
 String country =
 wdContext.currentTravelDataElement().getDestinationCountry();
 wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager().reportSuccess(
 "Form submitted: Employe Name="
 + name
 + " costcenter="
 + costcenter
 + " city="
 + city
 + " country=" +
 country);
What could be the problem?

hi Selcuk,
check what is the cardinality of the node that bound to the interactive form.
interactive form->properties->dataSource = <xyz node of context>
goto <xyz node of context> -> properties
just change the cardinality to 1..1.
goto
interactive form->properties...
check that the dataSource and pdfSource are bound to the right Context nodes/attributes...
hope this helps...
with regards,

Download Interactive Form

Hello!
Can an Interactive Form be generated without displaying it?
I want to ge hold of the pdfContent byte[], but don´t want to display the form.
Thank you!
Ilona Seifert

Hi Ilona,
You can try with the following:
import com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.api.IWDPDFDocument;
import com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.api.IWDPDFDocumentCreationContext;
import com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.api.WDPDFDocumentFactory;
import com.sap.tc.webdynpro.basesrvc.util.IOUtil;
InputStream template = ... //your XDP file as an inputstream
String xmlData = ... //business data you want to merge your form template with
ByteArrayInputStream dataSourceInputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlData.getBytes());
ByteArrayOutputStream dataSourceOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ByteArrayOutputStream templateSourceOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
// convert InputStream to OutputStream
IOUtil.write(template, templateSourceOutputStream);
IOUtil.write(dataSourceInputStream,dataSourceOutputStream);
IWDPDFDocumentCreationContext creationContext = WDPDFDocumentFactory.getDocumentHandler().getDocumentCreationContext();
creationContext.setTemplate(templateSourceOutputStream);
creationContext.setData(dataSourceOutputStream);
creationContext.setDynamic(true); //if you want to create dynamic interactive form
IWDPDFDocument pdfDoc = creationContext.execute();
// create the PDF and store it as ByteArrayInputStream
InputStream pdfInputStream = pdfDoc.getPDFAsStream();
Best Regards,
Ferenc
P.S.: If you use some older version and the "com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.api" package is not available for you, then you can do the same with the old "com.sap.tc.webdynpro.pdfobject.api" package
