Flatten or Lock a fillable pdf when user presses submit button

Hi. I've been searching all over the net trying to figure this out. I have a form that I created in LiveCycle and in the form I inserted a "REGULAR" button, with the following script:
//Create a variable to hold the document object
var
oDoc = event.target;oDoc.mailDoc({
bUI
: true,
cTo
: "[email protected]",
cSubject
: "New Procedure - Operator "+TextField1.rawValue+" - ID "+TextField2.rawValue,
cMsg
: "Attached is the New Procedure form for Operator "+TextField1.rawValue+" - ID "+TextField2.rawValue+".",
This script is emailing to "[email protected]" and populating the subject line and body of the message with some text and some items from fields in the PDF.
I want to have the PDF locked or flattened when the user hits the submit button, to ensure that the information put in the PDF isn't altered after they submit it. I cannot find any way of doing this easily. I found a script that will flatten the message (below), but I don't know how to add it to the email script I have noted above. I don't want to add a second button to the form as I want to keep it as simple as possible for the user.
Any suggestions someone might have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

At selection-screen when user presses back button

Experts,
I have two radio buttons and two relative checkboxes ( one checkbox related to other ).
Now when user selects one radio button and executes teh program, there is a summary page. When user presses back button from there, I return to the selection screen, however the selections are still there.
Ideally I want a blank screen, as in nothing selected( similar screen when program is executed first ). Is it possible ?
Kindly advise,
Gols

Hi,
Try clearing radio buttons and check boxes at PBO of selection screen using AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT statement.
PARAMETERS:
p_rad1 TYPE c RADIOBUTTON GROUP rd1,
p_rad2 TYPE c RADIOBUTTON GROUP rd1.
PARAMETERS:
p_chk1 TYPE c AS CHECKBOX,
p_chk2 TYPE c AS CHECKBOX.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
CLEAR: p_rad1, p_rad2, p_chk1, p_chk2.
Hope this helps.

Apply my own formula when user presses sum button in a report

Hi all,
I have this requirement that when user presses SUM button for a particular field in a report instead of Summing it up and displaying I can apply my own formula and display its value.
For Ex : When we press sum button for field efficiency :
EFFICIENCY
10
11
05
26 - It would sum it up and display 26 , where as i don't want it to display 26 i want to apply a separate formula and display that value

Suggest to add another custom button to the ALV toolbar and write the desired logic you want.
Also to avoid confusion, disable the standard summation button. (you can add the same icon for the custom button if you wish)
Thanks,

How to show old value in webui when user press NO button on popup button.

Hi Experts,
As per requirement I have created custom field with dropbox and with popup box to cofirm user decision if value from field changes.
Now on Popup when user press Yes then its Ok as no need to change the current value in the field.
but when user press the NO button I want to display the old value on Web UI so now I am able to catch the old value and pass it into the field at backend but I am not able to make the change on the web page.
Please reply if anyone have solution for it.
BR
Gaurav

Hi Gaurav,
First of all when all this is happening in UI why you need to pass the selected value to backend. I didnt get this.
I believe, this is only ui related and the old value which you got can be set in the IMPL class global variable and trigger method set_on_close_event, say here 'CONFIRM_POPUP_CLOSED' as shown below:
gr_popup->set_on_close_event( iv_event_name = 'CONFIRM_POPUP_CLOSED'
                                    iv_view = me ).
Retrive the answer as per selection from popup in method 'CONFIRM_POPUP_CLOSED'
by using:
lv_answer = gr_popup->get_fired_outbound_plug( ).
if lv_answer is NO, then put back the globally stored old value back to dropdown attribute, using:
set_property_by_value method(   iv_attr_name = 'dropdown attr' iv_value = 'old value' )
Thats it. No need to do anything.

Triggering POPUP to SAVE when user Presses BACK Button

h4.
Hi Friends,
h4.
When the User Presses BACK Button in the PF Status, it should trigger POPUP_TO_CONFIRM whether to SAVE or not.
h4.
Suppose if the user doesn't change any thing in the Screen, it should not ask the User.
h4.
How can i know whether the user changes something in the Screen.
h4.
Screen mean Table Control..
h4.
How can i track this.
h4.
Regards:.

Sridhar.J

Hi Sridhar,
Within the table control loop, create a chain of all the fields in the structure of line type. call a PAI module with addition ON CHAIN-REQUEST. This is a conditional module call which will be triggered ONLY when user changes something on the screen. In this module you can set a global variable DATA_CHANGED to say 'X'. When user chooses BACK function, check this global variable to decide on the confirmation popup.
One small caution. If you have the ROW SELECTION field also included in the line type of your internal table associated with the table control, you need to exclude that from the CHAIN of fields above; otherwise even when user selects a line or de-selects, this module will be triggered.
Read ON CHAIN-REQUEST and ON REQUEST online ABAP help for more clarity.

Flatten or lock a fillable PDF after it has been filled

I have a form all ready to go with an "Submit by Email" to button and all the correct form fields. Everything works great; I can fill-in the form click the Email Submit button and I receive the filled form as a PDF to the deignated address.
Here is the problem that I cannot solve. The filled PDF that I receive still has the fillable form fields that would allow someone to make changes. I would like to somehow lock or flatten the PDF once it has been filled and before it is sent via email. I have no clue of what script or where to insert language in the XML View that would enable a flatten or lock prior to email.
Can anyone help with the script and where exactly to place it in the XML View?
Thanks,
Scott

Srini,
I have followed your directions, but forgive my lack of knowledge or understanding, where exactly would I insert
form1.presence = "readOnly"
I have included a screen shot.
Thank you for your help

Preventing app exiting when user presses cross button

Hello,
I can't seem to prevent the whole application closing down when the user presses the cross button at the top of any of the forms. For example I have a menu form which I want to keep running whilst the user closes other forms which are shown from it.
Any suggestions?
Thankyou,
Karsten

I could be wrong, but I thought that the default
behavior of a JDialog is to not close the whole app
when it closes. Is that not correct?You are correct, sir. The only way an application closes is by explicitly telling it to do so by EXIT_ON_CLOSE.

Prompt user, when hitting with SUBMIT button

Hello folks,
I have application with student record, on 1st page user enters student's name and on 2nd page user enters students grade and their are two buttons on 3rd page saying SAVE and SUBMIT, with the hitting of both the buttons students record enterred by the user will be INSERTED into DB table.
Now I want to add a functionality saying, student_name as mandatory filled <b>only when user hits SUBMIT button</b> on 3rd page, hence user cannot submit leaving mandatory filled as empty. So I want to prompt a window on 3rd page with the student_name item where user can enter student's name and hit OK button the same prompted window which will help user to SUBMIT that particular student.
any idea how to achieve it, how to validate and prompt user, when user submits students without entering mandatory items/fields.
Thanks
Deep.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for replying, yes I'm very aware about your reply but I'm having req. so was trying to implement same into my current application.
I tried a small example into apex workspace to better understand have a look into it:-
workspace :- deepapex
username :- [email protected]
password :- walubu
application "Prompt_only_for_Submit"
I kept validation on page 3 if user doesnt enters student_name(on page 1) upto here it's working perfect than I started implementing JavaScript to open a prompt, but I want to open this prompt only when user doesnt enters student_name on page 1 and not everytime, also within this prompt I was looking how to have text_box item where user can enter student_name on page 3 where he actually forgotted to enter on page 1, so this new student_name item will go into insert process and hence this will be done, I'm away of the logic but really lacking to implement it.
So if you can help little it will be glad to you.
Thanks
Deep.

When the user press the button Calculate Tax (see attached doc) and click on Tax details then this should be updated automatically. But it does not work it is empty and the user has to update manually.

All setup looks fine.
Please let me know what can be done on this?

I recently updated my ipad wifi only to the new ios 6.1.2 and initially I had the auto cover lock option which can be seen in the Generals tab, but then it stoped working!! Before the update, the auto cover lock worked fine. So after trying all the options, I then did a complete reset on the ipad and now its gone all together from the General tab!! I can no longer see the "auto cover lock" option.
The iPad cover lock is for when you use a cover with magnets in it to lock and unlock the iPad when you close the cover or open it. Try running a refrigerator magnet along the sides of the iPad and see if that trips the iPad Cover Lock back into the settings.
That is not the same thing as the iPad Auto Lock setting which allows you to set an allotted time before the iPad goes to sleep.
You can try resetting all settings to see if the Auto Lock feature retinrs to the iPad.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. This can be a little time consuming re-entering all of the device settings again.

}The problem with even attempting to do this is that with today's browser capabilities, users can optionally choose to jump to a particular page in the browser history and this may not necessarily be the most recent page. In this case, you would also want to invalidate the user's session after already having been there (whatever page that may be). Then you have situations when the user may wish to jump back in history to external pages they were visiting before they reached your own site's pages. Then what happens when they start clicking forward, forward, etc... from there? This is why I prefer writing Swing Clients as alternatives to browser applications. There are soo many possible ways break web applications made for standard web browsers both maliciously and simply by accident or irregular user patterns. Regardless, this servlet would work based on the assumption that all the user(s) would "ever" do aside from moving logically forward is clicking on the browser's "back" button.
cheers!

Weird thing about when user click Update button

Hi,
I got a very weird thing when i want to add some my code in button "1" on click event. I use below code to capture the on click event when user click "Update" button, so i can do some tasks(assign some fix value to a specific field). I found i can capture the event only once. Once the document is updated and i open second recordl then my code is never exexuted then. No error, no exception. Is anyone know what happen?
Thanks,
Lan

Hi All,
Yes, you are right. After i use try block, i can see the error. I thought I should be expected an red exception alert in the B1 info bar.
Thank you !
