Dynamically Visibilty of Input Field in Interactive PDF Form

Hi All,
I want to bind the visibilty of Input Field dynamically in an Interactive PDF Form. How can I do ?
Please give me some solution

Manish

Manish,
Well select the inputfield & check the Scripting Window in your Designer.
On its top, you will see an option something as Show: Events with Scripts.
Select the initialize event and insert the code she mentioned. Then click on + sign. This will enter your changes.
There will be language option on top as well. Select JavaScript from it.
So in the end your code should read something like this.
----- data.<YourFormName>.txtInput::initialize: - (JavaScript, client) ----------------------------------
txtInput.presence = "invisible";

End user have ability to change font style in text field of interactive pdf form?

Does the end user of an interactive pdf form able to change the font style, i.e.: make something bold or underline a word in a text field?
I am making a form with text fields and the end user would like the ability to make something bold or underline it.. I do not see anywhere in acrobat that allows styles to be changed.
I have created the form in Indesign > saved it as an interactive pdf and brought it into Acrobat.

Thank you for the quick response! Do you set this in Indesign before exporting or do you set this in Acrobat? I am in Acrobat 10.1.10 and when I go to properties it doesn't give me 'options' to choose from.

Dear Friends,
Am new to Interactive Adobe forms with Webdynpro Abap,
My scenario is, I have few Input fields, i need to handle the Messages when am not entering values in any of the Input Field,
and raise the message when i click on Save Button.
I have tried with setting the field as Required in Form itself, but i can't set the Field as Mandatory.
I don't know how to do, Please give some needed points, as well needed some Script/Formcalc code.
Thanks,

Interactive PDF form on Android, can I make a form field to open camera and use photo in field?

If I have an interactive PDF form on Android, is there any way to make a form field that will open the camera and insert the photo in the field?

One alternative would be to create a web form in FormsCentral and use the attachment feature.

Can someone help me in building an interactive PDF form with dynamic bounding box?

Hi Guys,
I need to create an interactive PDF form which will contain images, text and fields.
This is how it would be laid out:
Header Image at the top.
Below that a Text Box with a question "Choose the number of licenses" and a drop down option from 1 to 10.
Depending on what they select, I need the following to be displayed.
The following should be encapsuled by a bounding box.
If "1" is selected. "Username: <blank field> Password: <blank field>
Then a button which says "Click Here To Login To Your New Account".
The bounding box should end here.. and I have more text and images below.
This I could achieve! But now if I select "2" I would need the bounding box to automatically become taller to accommodate two rows with "Username <blank> Password <blank>
The bounding box needs to expand or contract based on the number selected in the drop down.
Would love to here your thoughts on this!
Cheers,
Rajiv

If you were to look at the spec for PDF, you'd see that that is probably not possible with a PDF file.
But, I encourage you to ask this question in the Acrobat PDF Forms forum where the forms experts reside, and perhaps they could suggest an answer. JavaScript can be used, and perhaps that's the answer:

How do I complete an electronic signature field in an Interactive PDF form (created in Indesign)?

How do I complete an electronic signature field in an Interactive PDF form (created in Indesign)? This form will serve as an employment application on a website. The goal is to have any person (interested in applying for a job via the Internet) access, complete and electronically sign the form upon submission.

Hi,
Via createPDF you would not be able to electronic sign the PDF form, you would either require Adobe Reader or purchase Adobe Acrobat to sign the PDF.

Dynamic enabling of input fields via radio btn in report selection screen?

Hi there!
I was wondering whether one can dynamically enable/disable input fields on a selection screen of a report-program.
Or is this only possible for selection screens in dynpro-programs?
If possible for reports - could you give an example?
Thanx a lot.
Andreas

Hi,
yes..You can dynamically disable and enable inputs fields in the selection screen..
Check this ex..If you press the first radio button..The second input will be disabled...And vice versa..
PARAMETERS: p_r1 RADIOBUTTON GROUP g1 USER-COMMAND usr DEFAULT 'X',
p_r2 RADIOBUTTON GROUP g1.
PARAMETERS: p_input1 TYPE matnr MODIF ID m1,
p_input2 TYPE matnr MODIF ID m2.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
LOOP AT SCREEN.
IF p_r1 = 'X'.
IF screen-group1 = 'M2'.
screen-input = '0'.
ENDIF.
ELSE.
IF screen-group1 = 'M1'.
screen-input = '0'.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
MODIFY SCREEN.
ENDLOOP.

Programmatically filling in fields of an interactive PDF form from a database

I have a web app written in Grails, but it doesn't matter. I ask is there possible way to send the data from database into the the third party interactive PDF form? If yes, what tools from Adobe I would need to make this kind of web app plugin? Is it possible to view Javascript code of once made PDF?

You can simply create an FDF or XFDF file and return that to the browser.

Extend SAP R/3 4.x with Interactive PDF Forms

Hi there,
In this blog of Matthias Zeller <a href="http:///people/matthias.zeller2/blog/2004/06/22/the-hidden-secret-of-adobe-reader hidden secret of Adobe Reader</a> there is the following paragraph:
<i>While mySAP ERP 2004 provides many business scenarios using Interactive Forms out-of-the-box, a lot of customers have asked me how they can use the new Interactive Forms with existing R/3 applications. Therefore, I would like to encourage you to vote for my SAP TechEd presentation proposal ("Extend your SAP R/3 4.x applications with interactive PDF forms"). I plan to discuss how you can connect your existing SAP R/3 applications with SAP Web AS 6.40 to enable interactive form workflows.</i>
Can somebody tell me if this presentation is somewhere on SDN? Or can somebody tell me where i can find more information about this subject?
Thx in advance.
Regards Maarten.

Hi Maarten,
Here's a brief run-down on how you could make use of SAP/Adobe Interactive Forms and Workflow:
1) Remember that a form is really just a UI for collecting data. A PDF form can be used to collect data online (connected to your SAP system) or offline, e.g. you could send it as a mail attachment, fill it in, and email it to a central point for uploading into the system.
2) The main requirements for using SAP Interactive Forms are:
a) A NW04 (6.40) or NW04s (7.00) WebAs (Java Stack) to run Adobe Document Services. This is the critical component that assigns ReaderRights to the document, e.g. so that the user can change the data and save it on the document. You could run a WebAs like this alongside your R/3 4.7 - e.g. if you have an XI system or Enterprise Portal you could use that system to run Adobe Document Services. Every form you create must be generated via the Adobe Document Services to get the Reader Rights. Note: Get a NW04s environment if you can - as this release has usefuul new features such as loading attachments to the PDF, using digital signatures, etc.
b) A WebDynpro application to generate the Adobe form via Adobe Document Services, and to execute the Adobe Form when using online mode, and to upload offline forms. Tutorials on how to do this are available in SDN - have a look at the Adobe section within WebDynpro. Note: From ECC 5.0 there are some standard WebDynpros apps provided, but in R/3 4.7 you will need to write your own.
c) There's also a licensing requirement for any production custom forms (SAP provided forms and cosmetic changes to those forms are free) so make sure you get your SAP account manager involved to help sort out how your intended usage will fit in with your current license agreement and any discounts that may apply.
3) To use the "form" with workflow has some additional requirements:
a) You need to store the data entered via the form somewhere that is accessible by Workflow. The easiest approach here is to use the standard form handling technique Internet Service Requests. Transaction QISRSCENARIO will let you define all of the form fields, give you BADIs for doing validation, raising workflow events, etc. Also from ECC 5.0 onwards using Adobe forms as the form entry is a standard option for this technique, so this will help reduce the upgrade impact when you eventually do upgrade.
b) Assuming you use ISRs, have your WebDynpro App call the function module ISR_PROCESS_EVENT to pass the data to R/3 and do the validation checks.
c) Assuming you use ISRs, you use the BOR object for notification such as BUS2078, as your main object for the workflow. The form data is attached to the notification and can be retrieved using function module ISR_SPECIAL_DATA_GET.
d) If you want to call your WebDynpro App from SBWP (I take you don't have Enterprise Portal?) then use transaction WF_EXTSRV to define the web service to call your WebDynpro app and generate a workflow task for it. Also you must configure transaction WF_HANDCUST to enable R/3 to handle web services. Note: If you do have the Enterprise Portal, you can use transaction SWFVISU instead.
I'd strongly recommend you read the ISR cookbook at http://service.sap.com/isr as well. ISRs aren't the only way to use Adobe forms with R/3 but they are extremely handy if you want to use your Adobe form with Workflow.
As for Lotus Notes, you can use your WebDynpro app to generate and send/receive a form to/from an email address. You can also put a hyperlink in your workflow task to call your WebDynpro app and use RSWUWFML2 (swap to Enhanced Notifications when you upgrade) to send out a mail with the hyperlink attached as per usual.
You'll also find some useful threads on Adobe forms and Workflow in the SDN BPM Forum. So if you have workflow specific questions try raising them in the BPM forum.
Enjoy!
Regards,
Jocelyn

Interactive PDF form in Activities - Error in Content Server

Hi Experts,
We would like to display an interactive PDF form in the attachements of activities.
But the new windows shows nothing.
First we thought this was an error due to Interactive Forms, but then we found out that Content Server has obviously some problems with this generated PDF and assigns a Content Length = 0 to all these generated documents.
Please find attached some ICM traces, which shows this

How do I input data to a pdf form in Acrobat 8.1.6?

There's probably a simple solution for this but I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out how to input data to a pdf form using Acrobat 8.1.6, or how I can make the pdf file data field input ready? Thanks.

If you created the form Go back to Acroabt and go to advanced menu and choose:
Extend Features in Reader. then save.
Now open Reader and you can add information and save. (limit 500 instances per pdf).
Now if you created the form and have Acrobat make sure Acrobat in not in Forms Edit Mode.
Just type in your information and save.
Caution make sure that you finished all corrections and edits. because once you confer reader right you can not edit the form. you can edit the form items you fill in, but not the form itself.
to correct the form design you have to go back to advanced reader rights and save a copy without rights. make changes then confer rights again.

Table fields to match pdf form

I found this on my formscentral help file.
Note: Some types of form fields aren’t supported when you import a PDF form. For example, text fields with formatting applied, such as numeric or percentage fields, are converted to plain text fields. And, signature fields aren’t converted, as Adobe FormsCentral doesn’t support this type of field.
For more information, see Issues encountered while importing an existing PDF form.
http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2533
What I have experienced.
Formscentral does not allow you to format the table in their views when you use a pdf as the form, only if you use the online form.
I found that when out when I got 6 decimal points when multiplying tax, which was .04166. On the pdf it defaults to 2 decimals.
Another thing I noticed. My pdf form date field was set to MM/dd/YY. When I just put in 5/06 in that field, on the pdf form it auto corrected it to 05/06/13. When that pdf form was submitted to formscentral, that field showed 5/06. So it is pulling exactly what you input into the pdf form regardless of how the pdf form corrects your mistakes.
My real question is if Formscentral Is working to allow you to set the table format to work with pdf's too?
If not are you working to add calculated fields to the online form?
Not complaining just wanting. The product is awsome as is but this would take it a step further.

Thanks for your well articulated observations on our product. With regard to your questions about new funcitonality I can only suggest that you find the assocciated features on our ideas list and vote for them. http://forums.adobe.com/community/formscentral?view=idea#/?ideaView=5513&numResults=30&sta geFilter=-1&stageID=-1&start=0 We use this list to help guide future development work.
