Fields design in Forms 6i

Hello!
How can i get any color to frame of the field on canvas?
For example i want to have white color for canvas and for field on the canvas. How can i get red color for frame of the field?
Another question:
Can i change the color of button form gray to other?
Can i change the color of arrow on the list item from gray to other?
Thanks!

How can i get any color to frame of the field on canvas?Are you talking about the bevel on an item? There is no "frame" on an item, except for the bevel. And that applies to both Client/Server and Web forms.
The bevel color is determined by the client platform on which the form is running, NOT by anything set in Forms Builder. That applies to both C/S forms as well as Web forms.
Can i change the color of button form gray to other?Button color in C/S forms is determined by the user's platform. C/S Forms ignores the color you set in the Builder. But in Web Forms, the color you set applies to the running form's buttons.
Now... you CAN create a rectangle around your field, and give it a line color. In C/S forms, you can adjust the width of the line. But in Web forms, the line width seems fixed. Here is a picture of a test form I tried. On the left is Forms 6i Client/Server. On the right is the Web Forms 10g version.

How to design a form to calculate values for various fields

I have designed a form (in Adobe Live Cycle ES) which has fields for height (in inches), weight (in pounds) and serum creatinine (a decimal field). I have created a field for weight (in kilogram), a field for Body surface area (in m2) and creatinine clearance (in ml/min).
The weight can be derived by dividing weight in pounds by 2.2
The body surface area is calculated by
BSA (m²) = ( [Height(in) x Weight(lbs) ]/ 3131 )½
The creatinine clearance for males is calculated by
(140-age) * (Wt in kg) / (72 * Cr) for males
Creatinine clearance for females
(140-age) * (Wt in kg) *0.85 / (72 * Cr).
At another field I want the form to calculate the dosage by simple multipication of BSA with the dose basis or weight with dose basis.
How can I build an action which will perform these functions and place the value in the appropriate field?
Can some one help me and tell me the exact steps.
I would send the form I designed, if asked.
PS: I do not know java language.

You should ask this question in the LiveCycle Designer forum.

Enable/disable fields in Workspace form

Okay here is my scenario. I need to disable some fields on a form depending on which user logs onto workspace to open the same form.
1. User1 logs onto workspace and opens leave request form, fields at the top of the form are enabled for the user to fill out, bottom fields which are for leave request administrator to fill out are disabled but visible.
2. User1 fills out top portion of leave request form and completes form. Workflow sends form to leave request administrators "To do" list in Workspace.
3. Administrator opens up submitted form in Workspace and sees User1's filled out data on the form and the bottom fields are now enabled for administrator to approve or dissaprove. Bottom fields only include two check boxes, two text fields and one date field.
Now how is this done? I am sure their maybe scripting involved? if so what is it and at what events in the form? Is this whole process done in the form or through Admin UI or Workebench as well? Please help!!!!!!!!!

Hi Rahat,
You can use the same form and enable/disable some fields according to the user's role with only little scripting. Review the steps the below:
1-First place a hidden field ("user_role") in your form
2-Insert a script object into your form onder "Variables" in object hierarchy and write a script for enabling/disabling the fields (regarding the value of "user_role")
3-On the initialize and change events of the "user_role" call your script object
4-On your process design, put a SetValue service before User tasks. In the asssignment you should set the desired user_role to the form, so that the script is triggered in your form and the fields are enabled/desiabled
Fro further needs on your form or process design you can contact us from: http://www.kgc.com.tr/company_Contact.html

Fields Missing in Form Response File CSV Export

I've distributed a survey designed in LiveCycle 8.2 which has been completed by a number of users and returned via email. I then imported those submitted forms in to the repsonse file. When I export those responses in a CSV (and pull them in to Excel), a number of fields are not included. After a little digging, it seems that I failed to give those fields a custom name when designing the form. This seems to be the only consistency, so I have to assume this is the cause. Firstly, is this case?
Secondly, what is the best way to correct the situation. I anticipate receiving over 60 more responses, so I do not want to have to enter data by hand. I've tried renaming the field in the response file -- no effect. I've tried also updating the form and creating a new response file. The submitted forms were added (though I did receive a warning that not every field mapped) and those fields which had not previously been named were full of nulls -- I assume they could not be mapped due to the difference in the underlying field name.
Resending the form is really not an option at this point -- I will be getting more forms like this over the next weeks. What is the best way for me to get all of the responses in to my excel file? Thanks.

Hiding Fields in Adobe Form

Hi,
I have some fields in my form that i want to hide. I added in some javascript into the button-click event. When previewing in the Adobe LiveCycle Designer, the fields are hidden successfully,but when i press F8 button the fields are not able to hide.
My JavaScript is:
if(this.rawValue == null)
this.presence = "hidden";
Thanks.

Hi,
you can use as below,
below Scripting can be used to ahcive this.
1. FormCalc Scripting.
2. JavaScript.
Combination of both is also allowed in same form.
Example:
if( hasValue($) ) then
StaticText1.presence eq u2018visibleu2019
Else
StaticText1.presence eq u2018hiddenu2019
Endif.
Thanks,
Chandra

Hidden fields in a form Dreamweaver 8

I have a problem I can't resolve. I have with a bunch of
hidden fields in a form. The problem I have is that some of the
anchor points are not showing in design view for all the fields,
just a couple show up. I have View Invisible elements in Visual
aids turned on.
Fields 1,2,3,9,10,11,15 don't show
Fields 4,5,6,7,8,12,13,14 show
Here's the code, can someone tell me what I did wrong?
Any help will be appreciated

Hi Max,
This is possible in portal forms.
The code to get the value of a field is some thing like this.
You need to generate this javascript function using pl/sql in the Additional pl/sql Section - ... before displaying the page or ... after displaying the page.
htp.p('
<script>
function myFunc(ele)
var l_form = ele.form;
var win;
var val;
var l_url = "<url>?";
for (var i = 0; i < l_form.length ; i++){ // This is the way you traverse along all the form elements.
if (l_form.elements.name == "<field to be refered>"){ //something like this for the field you wish to refer ==> QUESTION_RESULT.MASTER_BLOCK.QID.01
val = l_form.elements[i].value;
l_url = l_url+val;
win=window.open(l_url);
</script>
Then call any fiels you wish to for the purpose of set or get of values.It can be even a hidden field.
Hope this helps,contact for further clarifications.

Access to fields of a form through IAC

Hello everyone!
I created with Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2 (included with Adobe Acrobat X Pro) an example form with several fields.
After that I wanted to access the fields through the Acrobat SDK's Interapplication Communication (IAC) capability by using OLE.
As programming language I choose C# from the .NET framework. But the only field that I could access was the signature field and only when it was signed. I could not figure out the mistake. Is my code wrong? Or is the created form wrong? Can somebody help?
The code that I used:
Acrobat.AcroApp app = null;
Acrobat.AcroAVDoc avdoc;
AFORMAUTLib.AFormApp formApp;
AFORMAUTLib.IFields fields;
app = new Acrobat.AcroApp();
avdoc = new Acrobat.AcroAVDocClass();avdoc.Open(@"Form.pdf", null);
formApp = new AFORMAUTLib.AFormApp();
fields = formApp.Fields;
int fieldsCount = fields.Count;
foreach (var item in fields)
AFORMAUTLib.IField field = (AFORMAUTLib.IField)item;
result = field.Name + " = " + field.Value + "[" + field.Type + "]";

Yes, if the form is Reader Enabled, then a Reader user can add a graphic as the icon of a button via scripting to an AcroForm.

ADOBE AIR for offline applications or Adobe LiveCycle Designer Offline form

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement of recreating the XK01 Customer Master Creation functionality and host it as online application in SAP Netweaver Enterprise Portal. I have done this by creating a Web Dynpro ABAP application and embedding a adobe livecycle designer interactive forms (having same fields as required for Customer Master creation in XK01). In online scenario, the PDF form opens up in browser. In offline scenario, the user can fill up the form and upload the form using UPLOAD button created in the Web Dynpro application. There has been some performance issues like if we have too many dropdown UI elements in the form (having many entries in each), then the form takes too much time to get uploaded.
Can we think of a alternate solution using Adobe AIR desktop application which will enable the user to fill up the form in AIR like User interface. I am new to Adobe Flex and Adobe AIR.
The online scenario perfectly fine with Adobe LiveCycle Designer Forms and SAP ABAP Web Dynpro application. It's offline functionality where its performance hasnt been up to the mark.
Also let me know if Adobe AIR can be used in the offline scenario while ADOBE forms in online scenarion or is it mandatory to have AIR AND FLEX in offline and online scenario respectively.
Please advise.
Regards.
Rohit

hi,do you still need an answer for this question?
Because Adobe flex and air are very good solutions for a offline and online scenario
Kind regards,

InDesign equivalent of LiveCycle's "Image Field" in PDF form creation?

LiveCycle has a PDF form field called "Image Field". We add this field to the PDF files we create so that our end users can select and import a JPEG image into their PDF document using Adobe Reader.
Now we would like to use InDesign to produce the same PDF form files as an alternative to using LiveCycle. Does InDesign have a PDF form field like LiveCycle's "Image Field"? We haven't found it yet.
In other words, does someone know in InDesign how to create a field in PDF forms which has the same functionality as LiveCycle's "Image Field"? LiveCycle's field works in enabled Adobe Reader files, and permits JPEG format, among others.
Thank you,
Kevin
P.S. We discovered a way to create PDF forms in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI with similar functionality by using JavaScript, but the Acrobat Pro created documents only permit Adobe Reader to import PDF files, not JPEG or other image formats. So Adobe Acrobat Pro XI was not a viable alternative to LiveCycle for creating our PDF files. We'd like to know if we need to rule out InDesign, too.

It's worth separating out the different responsibilities and products.
Whether a functionality exists in Reader depends on the Acrobat team. Reader, being free, is limited by design, the aim of the design being to sell copies of Acrobat. Obviously, Reader can't make PDFs or do preflighting. Less obviously, there are a bunch of JavaScript functions that don't work. Sometimes, with Reader enabling, more functions become available. (There are different kinds of Reader enabling, some of which need very expensive extra products).
Whether a form capability exists at all is largely down to the PDF specification (now an ISO standard) or the XFA specification. Adobe can choose to go beyond the specification but largely choose not to.
So, the InDesign team can make form fields, not because the Acrobat team approves, but because the way this is done is written down in the PDF Specification. InDesign _could_ choose to make XFA forms, but thank goodness that will never happen.
So, if you want InDesign forms to do something you first have to ask: can Acrobat forms to this. NOT XFA (LIveCycle forms) which are done by a different team to different rules. So far as I know Acrobat forms cannot do the sort of thing you want; that is, placing arbitrary graphics, but in certain circumstances they can place PDF files.
Why make the distinction?
- If Acrobat can make forms that do this, then so can InDesign: it's worth asking the InDesign people to do it.
- If Adobe limit Adobe Reader, there is no use asking the InDesign team to solve this.
- If Acrobat can't make forms that do this, then nor can InDesign.

How to design a form with multiple lang(Arabic and Eng) in a page

Hi All,
Could you pls help me how to design a form with multiple languages. when I set the form proprties-->Form Locale as Arabic. English text is comming in reverse and when set the FormLocale as English, Arabic text is comming in revese.
Pls help me how to design
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jayakar

I am not sure how you can have two different languages inside the same PDF.
Alternatively, if you want to place only the static labels, you can convert all the static label in one language to images and set the form language setting to other. And place the images inside the form using Image field. For example, you can keep the form language as English and then convert all the arabic language labels/ Static text to images.
Anotherway,
Have same sections in both the languages and hide and unhide based on the user selection of the language..
if your user chooses Arabic, then you can unhide the Arabic sections and change the form language properties programmatically..
Thanks

Dynamic fields in PDF form

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement to design all fields in a form dynamically..!
It means if the user selects speific fields in a custom config, the form should be genarated with only those fields.
I know it can be done placing fields at design time and then hiding it later.. but I am looking for dynamic fields creation and position and setting its properties dynamically.
Thanx for Ur time.. !

hi,
Did you try creating a composite form ?? The sap.help link to creating Dynamic forms is give below

Put some additional field in pdf form for travel expenses report

Heloo,
I would like to get additional field (P0001-PLANS) organisational data in form ZPTRV_EXPENSE_FORM (copy of standard PTRV_EXPENSE_FORM).
How to do that?
BR
Saso

Hello,
I am aasume you´re Adobe forms beginner, so I am sorry if I am going to tell you something what you already know.
1) you have to find the interface of the form
2) into the interface you have to add your field (probably you will have to copy the interface into a customer one)
3) if you copy the interface, you have to change the interface name in the form properties
4) you have to refresh the interface information in the form (sfp transaction, left part, refresh) and you should be now able to see your new field
5) use drag and drop left to right (from interface to form context) to copy the new field into your form context (so the form is aware there is a new field)
6) open LCD designer (if you don t have one, you have to download and install one, use 8.1)
7) in the form layout, left side find "data view" tab from where you can drag a new field and drop it onto your form layout
8) you must populate the new field, you can use initialization in the form interface or find the right spot in the printing program to populate the value before you send the data to the form
9) save, activate, enjoy
regards, Otto

Where the Adobe Designer PDF Form "Default Locale" read from?

I am designing PDF form using Adobe Designer. I have set the "Default Locale" in the Edit -> Form Properties. I have set the Display Pattern of numeric field to ZZZ,ZZZ,ZZ9.99. Based on locale, Adobe should format the numeric field accordingly. So where exactly the Adobe Designer read the locale and the number format? From SAP table, Adobe server OS, PC OS or from where? Because I need to check the locale setting ZZZ,ZZZ,ZZ9.99, ZZZ.ZZZ.ZZ9,99 and so on.

Check in the Interface Or Form Builder -->Interface.
Reward if Useful.
Thanks,
Anita

Is it mandatory to bind each & every CONTEXT element to a text field on the form?

Hello,
I am developing an Adobe Interactive Form, i have Designer 8.1 and Reader 9.0 in my Windows 7 Laptop. When i checked the menu EDIT-->form properties --> Compatability, its Adobe XML form File (XDP)
I have 3 elements (say, 1_Name, 2_Street and 3_City) in the CONTEXT and drawn ONLY 2 input enabled TEXT fields (for items - Name and Street of conetext) and then, BINDED them.
I did not put any associate text field for CITY and no chance of binding!
Pls. let me know that, Now can i utilize this CITY (of context) element containign data in the Java script? is this CITY is VISIBLE in the java script, even though it did not get BINDED with any text field on the form?
THank you

Thank you.
If it got BINDED, i knew how to point/get/visible the CITY element (of CONTEXT) containming data by using the below java script,
(this.rawValue == "A") or i can also get it with script of VISITOR.Page3.Subform11.CITY.rawvalue = "A"
If i do NOT bind CITY to any TEXT FIELD of FORM, then, how i can retrieve/get/visible/point CITY content?
