Dynamic Tables in LiveCycle

Greetings,
I have a form that I am creating that is using dynamic tables with an Add Row button as well as a Delete Row Button. The form looks normal when it is opened in LiveCycle Designer and Acrobat. The issue is when the form is saved using the Save As function. When the Save As function is used, the table adds a blank row. And every subsequent Save As adds another blank row. I am using the following JavaScript functions for my Add/Delete buttons. Thank you in advance for your help!
Add - Table2.Row1.instanceManager.addInstance();
Delete - Table2.Row1.instanceManager.removeInstance(this.parent.parent.index);
Save AS

Lorain,
I am not sure if this can be done with LiveCycle Designer, we have done this with a product that works with LiveCycle. You can feed the XML data to DocOrigin and it supports this for output to PCL, PS, PDF and HTML. Not sure if it this will help you. You can also convert the XDP to use it in the DocOrigin Designer. DocOrigin will not replace LC Forms but can be a nice addition for generation of the output for print, email or web.
Here is a sample of the output The table has a detail line item followed by 1 to X descriptive comments. Another nice feature is the ability to alter the background color of every other line item, this is done by checking a box. Support for Widows and Orphans is also supported across pages and pagination is automatic. You can also include images in the detail line, however we had to keep the image small in this case because we do not know in advance how may comments are going to be included with any given line item.

Creating dynamic table in livecycle pdf through coldfusion cfpdf.

Hi,
I have a pdf created in Livecycle, i am able to populate data in it with coldfusions cfpdf. but fields in pdf are static, means i will have to pass every field vale and coldfusion will populate it.
But I have a Table in PDF i want it to be dynamic, so I i pass 5 rows it will populate table with 5 rows. right now every thing in pdf is fixed on place, but i want it dynamic.
Hope i am able to explain it correctly, Please help and let me know if this is confusion. I will try to explain my problem correctly.
Thanks

Have you tried creating the data connection via LCD
and not CF? You can write the same queries in LCD and connect to your tables. If you want dynamic pdfs in CF, I would use the <cfdocument> tag.

Dynamic Table row breaks only on the first page (not on second)

Hello,
I biuld a dynamic table with Livecycle.
If the text in the last field is to long, the table grows automatically.
If the end of the first page is reached, the row breaks over from the first to the second page(= 1st break)
This works correctly.
But if the text is longer, and the field have to break from the second to the third page, the field does not break!!
Please see the attached file.
The settings should be correct, because the break ( from 1st to the 2nd page) works.
But why, is the "dynamic behaviour " limited to only ONE page ?
Can you help me please ?
Thanks....

Danke für die korrigierte Datei.
Jep, bei deiner Datei funktionierts.
Ich habe alle Einstellungen genauso angeklickt wie Du, aber trotzdem funktionierts nicht in meiner Tabelle.
Kannst du Dich erinnern, was genau Du geändert hast ?
Ich lade eine Datei hoch, in der ich eine neue Tabelle in die bereits existierende Tabelle ( von Dir korrigiert und funktionierend) einfgefügt habe.
In dieser zweiten Tabelle habe ich die gleichen Einstellungen wie in deiner Tabelle. Meine Tabelle funktioniert aber nicht.
Wo ist mein Fehler ?
Danke für deine Hilfe.
Ich hatte es aber als dynamisches Formular gespeichert. Die Felder verändern sich ja, nur nicht mit dem richtigen Umbruch.
https://acrobat.com/#d=kBUbNEdmNNLTXmKuCUo84w
Ist es womöglich ein Versionsproblem ?
Teillösung:
Mit 1 Spalte anstelle von 2 Spalten funktionierts auch bei mir.
Mit 2 Spalten nicht.
Weiss jemend Rat ?
ENGLISH
thanks for the correction of the file.
It works fine in your doc.
I copied all settings from your pdf-file, but still it doesn`t work in my doc.
Do you remember, what you changed ?
I will upload a flie, where I paste a new table in the existing one. Can you tell me where the failure is ?
Thanks for your help.
I saved the origin file as a dynamic form. The fields were growing automatically (when the text is long). The problem was the overflow.
https://acrobat.com/#d=kBUbNEdmNNLTXmKuCUo84w
Is it possibly a bug within my LCD Version ?
Greetings
Dilaver
UPDATE
It works fine, when I delete 1 column.
With 2 columns -> overflow problem
With 1 column -> no problem..
Does anybody knwo why ?

SAP ME ADS Printing - Traveler with dynamic table

Does any one have an example traveler template that uses a dynamic table to display all the operations on the traveler? Ie one template that works for different routers.
The problem we are having is due to the xml tags for each operation being different eg <operation0>, <operation1> etc which the dynamic table in Livecycle Designer doesn't seem to like.
Thanks
Kevin

Hi Stuart,
We are using ME15 SP03.
We have already read that document cover to cover and we can print a traveler with SFC or Shop order header data etc. We can also print a fixed list of operations but what we want to do is have a single template that has a dynamic table that prints all the operations regardless of how many there are.
Paragraph 6.11 of the document tells you that if you have multiple operations the binding should end with .Router_Step_ID0 , .Router_Step_ID1, Router_Step_ID2 etc etc
This would mean that I would have to create a template for each different material that has a different number of router steps as you effectively hard code each step ID
The first system I ever worked on (Visiprise 4.2) had the capability of using one template that automatically shrunk / expand based on the number of operations but I just cant see how to do it in LiveCycle Maybe I'm missing the obvious.
Thanks
Kevin
PS. Great to see a fellow Scotsman on here

How to populate dynamic table in Adobe Livecycle form with cfpdfform?

Hello all,
after two days search on the above topic without results I hope someone here can help me.
The problem:
I have an Adobe PDF form created with Adobe Livecycle Designer that has a dynamic table inside it. The table Table1 consists of a Header Row with 4 cells of text and a data row Row1 with four cells each one having a Textfield Cell1, Cell2,Cell3 and Cell4.
Table1 sits inside a subform mytable. The subform is made to flow and the Row1 has the Binding Repeat Row for Each Data Item checked.
Everything is enclosed within the standard subform form1.
Whe I use the following code, I supposed that the table should have two rows..because it is said it will be dynamic:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

</cfpdfform>
<cfpdfform action="read" source="testout.pdf" result="testout" />
<cfdump var="#testout#">
</body>
</html>
What happes is:
The testout.pdf displays just one row,with the values 1,2,3,4 the second row is only visible when I export the data as xml but not within the PDF.
Please can someone enlighten me?
Thanks and regards
Gilbert

When populating your pdf fields, you can loop through all the records in a query like so...
   <cfloop from="1" to="#query1.recordCount#" index="i">
            <cfpdfformparam name="txtField1_#i#" value="#query1.Field1[i]#">
            <cfpdfformparam name="txtField2_#i#" value="#query1.Field2[i]#">
</cfloop>
This will handle two rows or thirty rows just the same. In this case my fields in the pdf have the row # as a suffix.

Itextsharp using livecycle form with dynamic table

Hello all, after searching Google for the past two days and not able to find any relevant information, hence this post.
Some background:
1) Created a pdf form using Adobe Livecycle designer 9.
2) It is a dynamic form with textboxes and a table configured to repeat rows dynamically.
3) Testing form using xml data within designer works just fine.
Requirement:
Need to populate form dynamically using data from database.
Solution:
Found iTextSharp (free assembly) which assists with populating existing pdf form.
Issue
This assembly works without any issue when populating textfields (see sample code below). The problem I am facing is with the dynamic table where in I am not able to reference rows greater than 1. Since the pdf template contains a table with just one row referencing the first row using acrofield works.
I was under impression since this is a dynamic table with repeat enabled, in asp.net if I referenced row2 onwards the table would grow automatically. Which I have come to realize is not going to be possible.
So I am looking for ideas on how I can accomplish this. I wish this could have been a fixed row table then reference rows would have been easier. However in this situation the table has to be dynamic.
Any ideas thoughts would be appreciated.
Below is my sample code:
PdfStamper ps = null;
try {
// read existing PDF document
PdfReader r = new PdfReader(
// optimize memory usage
new RandomAccessFileOrArray(Request.MapPath("itext.pdf")), null
ps = new PdfStamper(r, Response.OutputStream);
// retrieve properties of PDF form w/AcroFields object
AcroFields af = ps.AcroFields;
// fill in PDF fields by parameter:
// 1. field name
// 2. text to insert
af.SetField("txtCompany", "Company name");
af.SetField("txtDateDepartLocation", "date depart location");
af.SetField("txtDate","test date");
af.SetField("txtServiceNumber", "Service number");
af.SetField("Table2.Row1.Cell1", "1test");  this works
//doesnt work!!!
af.SetField("Table2.Row2.Cell1", "1test");
af.SetField("Table2.Row3.Cell1", "1test");
// make resultant PDF read-only for end-user
ps.FormFlattening = true;
// forget to close() PdfStamper, you end up with
// a corrupted file!
ps.Close();
catch { }
finally { if (ps != null) ps.Close(); }

Livecycle userform with dynamic table

Hi Everyone,
New to Livecycle Designer and was hoping this is possible - Can you have a PDF userform with a dynamic table below it?...
Basically the user fills out a userform then clicks an ADD button - this populates a dynamic table below the userform then clears/resets the userform - as the records fill the table an EDIT button appears in the last column so that if the user makes an error with a record they could click the EDIT button, this would bring the record back into the userform fields so they could change the field(s) they made the error in then a SAVE button would replace the ADD button in this instance, clicking SAVE then changes the record and clears/resets the userform ready for more entries.
At the bottom of the PDF there would be an EXPORT button which attaches the table as a csv or tab-delimited text file to an email message...
If someone could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated - I have googled and searched the forums for an answer but they mostly relate to importing data into a dynamic table from a database or xml file... I was hoping to directly populate the table with the userform.
I also have a PDF example which illustrates what I am trying to achieve... but seems you cannot attach to a post... I can email it if someone has a solution, but needs to see it visually.
Cheers

You don't know the names of your columns? hmm you do, because before you created dynamic table you had to create field catalog, so the structure and column names of newly (dynamically) created table will be the same like defined in the field catalog.
The last loop also does not look good, in my opinion should be something like:
LOOP AT lt_datatable +(my first table)+ ASSIGNING <ls_data4>.
    AT NEW pernr.
      APPEND initial line to <fs_1> assigning <fs_2>.
      <fs_2>-pernr = <ls_data4>-pernr.
    ENDAT.
    ASSIGN COMPONENT <ls_data4>-wage_type OF STRUCTURE <fs_2> TO <fs_5>.
    <fs_5> = <ls_data4>-amount.
ENDLOOP.
also keep in mind that number of calls of method cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table is limited to 36 (?) calls within one program session because it uses dynamic subroutine pool behind so you will have short dump if you will execute that 37 times.

Livecycle designer - dynamic table index

Hello,
I am new to adobe and java script and form calc neither. I need to be able to detect when the dynamic table will have more than 1 row.
On the form ready event I have coded using form calc:
if (this.parent.index >= "1") then
data.formulaire.GAB_IT0008.Corps.BoiteInfoGenerique.DonnesInfotype0008.DonnesEntete2.c_SalaireAnnuel.P0008-ANSAL.access == "readOnly"
endif
But it does not work. Please see thye attached file for the image.
Any help? Thanks in advance.

Not doable in LC 7.1 or 8.

Sum of Values from previous rows in a dynamic table

Hello,
I have a dynamic table has multiple rows (added dynamically via a button). One column in the table is a Quantity column. Another is a Total column. We do not want to keep a running total, but only wish to display a total when the rest of the cells in that row are emty and the previous row(s) has/have values in the Quantity column. The Total is the sum on the Quatnities up to a blank row. Below is a sample. How do I get teh value of the Quantities in the previous rows?
Quantity
Total
5
8
12
25
7
27
34
22
22
Another option might be to put the Total in the last row with data as opposed to the row below the data.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Karl

The script is written to achive your requirement (i.e. the second approach you have mentioned)
You can either contact me at [email protected] to get the sample form created.
Or the following is the XML Source of the form. Copy the entire content in XML source view of your form and see the result.

How to identify the last instance of a dynamic table row

Hi all,
I am trying to figure out how to create an action for my form in Livecycle Designer ES2 that will affect the most recent instance of a dynamic table row. I have a table with a repeatable row where the user will enter information about a purchased part and I have buttons that allow the user to add and remove rows. I need to create an additional add row button that will add a new instance of the repeatable table row (this is not an issue) and will disable and change the background color of the first cell in the added row. The problem I am having is how to have an action that affects the last instance of a row.
If anyone knows how to do this in Javascript I would appreciate some advice/help.

Hi,
I think this is beyond what an action will provide. You will a have to write some JavaScript directly. When you call the addInstance method it returns the new row, so you can do something like;
var row = Table1._Row1.addInstance();
row.TextField1.border.fill.color.value = "255,0,0";
row.TextField1.access = "protected";
To find the last row and do the same thing you can do something like;
var row = Table1.resolveNode("Row1[" + (Table1._Row1.count - 1) + "]");
row.TextField1.border.fill.color.value = "255,0,0";
row.TextField1.access = "protected";

Footer overflow in dynamic table

Hi,
great forum here.. so i have a problem with livecycle form...
I build up a form with a dynamic table, adding rows with a click on "+".
The footer is working correctly ( once visible on the end of the table, not repeated) .
One cell in the first row is growing automatically, depending on the text which is entered.
If the table does not fit on the page ( because of the added rows or because of the text in the cell ) , there is a break and the table is continuing on the second page.
These work fine.
Problem:
But if the table is broken on the second page, and i will click "+" for adding new rows, 1 or 2 rows are added on the first page;
because there is space left, because of the footer, which is now on the second page.
changing the free-area on master page did not help me.
my given conditions are:
the footer have to be tied on the last row of the table, that means: if the table is broken, at least one row should appear on the second page.
Can anybod help me please ?
here is my document:

thanks

Did you set the permission to allow everybody to view the file on acrobat.com? I am able to log in to acrobat.com - and I am logged in, but it tells me I need the latest Flash Player. I have just installed the latest and rebooted my iMac, but I still can't access your file. So I can't view your table...
One way around this is to create the table from individual objects, i.e., if each row has one Text and one Numeric cell = two cells per row, then
drag a Text field onto the Layout page, followed by a Numeric field.
wrap them in a subform.
Now you have your row. Then add the leader (header) and/or trailer (footer) objects. Proceed from here with your '+' and so forth.
Conclusion - a table doesn't have to start with the formal Table object. You can create your own manual (more flexible) table.

Dynamic Table in PDF - only first row passed to the WD Java

Hi Experts,
I'm working with Web Dynpro for Java on WAS 2004s SP13, ADS for SP13 and LiveCycle Designer 7.1
I am facing a problem related to PDF-dynamic table generation.
I am creating the PDF form with a dynamic table, an empty row will be added, when ADD button is clicked, the row will be deleted when DELETE button is clicked. After form submit, only first row of the table is passed to the Web Dynpro. I'v tried to use different dataSource Context node structure without results. The structure diescribed in the thread [Dynamic Table - same data repeating in all rows; doesnt works for me. The same happend if i try to folow the advise from Wiki https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDJava/Creating%20Table%20in%20Interacting%20form%20using%20Web%20Dynpro.
Beside this, my DropDown list in the table column is not populated. I know how to populate the DropDown list outside of table. That's working fine. But the DropDown in the table just not respond on the click (is not going open). I'm pretty sure that this is a result of a Context node structure/binding issue.
Please suggest me how can i implement dynamic table and populate the data in table dropdown column.

Hi Prabhakar,
You describe exactly my situation. The node which is bound to the table row has cardinality 1..n. Exactly Context structure is:
node dataSource (cardinality 1..1/ Singleton true) ======> dataSource of the Interactive Form
subnode TableList (cardinality 1..1/ Singleton true) ======> bound to the table in the Interactive Form
subnode TableWrapper (cardinality 1..n/ Singleton true) ======> bound to the table row in the Interactive Form
subnode TableData (cardinality 0..1/ Singleton false) ======> table data
attribute 1 ====> Context nodeattribute bound to the table row field
attribute 2
This structure is recommanded in the post that I found on the Forum (see the firs hyperlink in my firs post).
Is this structure correct? Why is not working?
Your link is not working. Can you post the correct one.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Adnan

Dynamic Tables - sequential numbering

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone out there can help me. I have created a dynamic table with 'add' and 'delete' buttons. My problem is when I add a new row I would like the row (and subsequent rows) to be numbered automatically (in the left-hand column). I'm not too sure of the actual scripting required.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Dynamic table with header on each page

Hi,
I am new to livecycle forms. I am not sure if I am asking a silly question but this is what I need to achieve.
I am designing a pdf form using livecycle designer. Need to build a dynamic table using data from xml. The challenge is I need to have a signature button on each page and the button will be below the table. So if there are for eg. 100 rows of data, then the table should be split into 5 pages of 20 rows each page (each page should have the table header) or based on page content and the button should be on the bottom of each page. Is it possible to achieve this? Also any example/suggestion on implementing signature using signature pad would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
For individual objects, like the button that you want to appear on each page, you should place this on the Master Page. Position the button at the bottom of the page and then make sure that you size the Content Area, so that the button is OUTSIDE of the content area. This way objects on the design page will not overflow over the button. See here: http://assure.ly/g0Wx7r.
If you are using a Table object for your data, then you can set it to repeat the Header row, see the Object palette.
If you are using ADEP Designer 10 (latest version of Designer) AND your users will have Acrobat X/Reader X (eg version 10.1), then you could use Flash object for a signature field. See the example here: http://assure.ly/rqCuEn. See "Assure Dynamics Map with Signature" example. Again please note that you will need Acrobat X/Reader X to view this.
Hope that helps,
Niall
