Form Guide with Embedded xdp?

Hi all,
is there a way to embed an Xdp within a panel in a form guide?
I'd like to have a form guide with some input panels and then on a specific panel i want to open an xdp so that the user can fill data in it, but always within the guide style.
Is it possible?
Thank you all.
Alessio

Thanks for your answer :)

Form guide with digital signature inside workspace

Hi,
I want to use form guides for user form filling, but also the resultant PDF form must be digitally signed. I'm presenting the form inside Workspace and as a part of workflow.
I've read Form Guides Getting Started document. There, it uses xfaForm type input variable for the process. As I know, xfaForm is data only. So it doesn't work when signatures are needed. I've tried to change the variable type to documentForm in the Sample Mortgage Loan Flex process, but with again no success. This time, on the second step of process, the form rendering on Workspace gave an error as follows:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

at mx.core::UIComponent/callLaterDispatcher()
To sum up: Can we use form guides for filling out forms that are to be digitally signed and sent to the next step in the process?
Thank you

This can be done but you must use the Document Form var to route the signed pdf. You must configure the FormGuide submit button to 'Submit from PDF' in Guide Builder.
Also the button on the form must be configured to submit as 'PDF' (not XDP). This change is done when you open the form in designer.
Note that after you have submitted the signed pdf you will be dealing with a pdf subsequently.

Form guide not displaying fields

Hi,
I am creating a from guide using the RenderFormGuide component. The rendered form guide does not display any fields. I am able to preview the same XDP as a form guide in the designer, and it works perfectly fine. Are there any properties in the RenderFormGuide thats preventing the fields from being displayed?
Also, this form guide is not for use in workspace. This is to be opened up on the browser.
Thanks.
Regards,
Vidya

I used the guide builder in designer to create the guide. I chose the guide layout, dragged fields to the guide through the add/bind fields option. The fields do not show up for me even with default values.
I tried to create a form guide with no fields, just the default section and panel. Even this results in the same problem.
When I pass the sample form guide that comes with designer install through the render form guide component, only the guide layout gets created - there are no sections or panels. I am wondering if i am making a mistake in setting the form guide properties?
These are the properties that I set:
Application Web Root : http://[hostname]:[portno]
base URL : http://[hostname]:[portno]
Content Root URI : repository://
Target URL : http://[hostname]:[portno]
The only property that I modified in the Form guide render options is "Cb = True"
Thanks.

Getting Runtime error while including pdf doc with Form guides.

Hi,
I have urgent requirement where I have to capture the data in the PDF doc   what user enters into the form Guides.
I am trying this on ES2.
I followed the steps what they mentioned at :: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/workbenchHelp/help.htm - >>Creating Guides using LiveCycle Workbench ES2 -> Including the PDF doc with a document.
They mentioned that we have to create form design (pdf) with same data model.. But When i tries to create form design by including the data model .. it is not allowing to me save as pdf and its telling that we have to save as xdp only.   So saved as xdp only and followd all the same steps what they mentioned .. but we are getting error like :::
2010-01-07 17:13:08,227 ERROR [com.adobe.idp.workflow.dsc.invoker.WorkflowDSCInvoker] An exception was thrown with name com.adobe.repository.ResourceNotFoundException message: ALC-REP-018-000: Resource

Please find my form guide setting to invoke my REST URL.. and my process.
please help me in this regard ,,,,,

Hi Han,
The problem might be in path of the resources. Please check the path for the pdf you includes at form guide.
Please check concat( ) operation .. make sure that it is correct and pointing as per your work bench.
And
At Configuring the REST endpoint for the PDF render service:,   6th point , please select   as System level rather than INVOKE_PERM.
I hope it helps.
Thanks

Form guide shows online with wrong preview PDF

I'm using LC Designer 8.1. and tried to complete a form guide.
I can't figure out why the (working) swf-online version of the formguide keeps referring to a temp. guide preview sample instead of the PDFform the guide is based on.
Can I configure that somewhere or do I have to buy additional software?
Thanks in advance.
Erik

Hello Paul,
I think you mean this?
I made a map with all te files I needed. A swc,xdp and logo.gif. After completing the xdp file (and the guide) I was not able to save anything from the guide into my map (no swf) In the map `documents and settings\Application Data\Adobe\Designer\8.1\GuideBuilder` I found the swf file with the name tmpPreview.swf. Once I moved it online (together with all the other files in that map) it worked fine until I tried to export/send it by email/save it or show it in the guide. It then showed the `GuidePreview.pdf` file.
I also tried to save the xdp file as a PDF and refer to it from the `tmpGuidePreview.html` file. Did not work also.
Thanks
Erik

Form Guide - Populating a drop down with entries from another field(s)

Greetings all!
Here is what I am trying to accomplish:
1. Build a repeating panel that has a field for the entry of a Name. (I can do this)
2. Build a drop down field on another panel that will be populated with the Name entries from one or more of the repeating panel Name fields in 1. above. I would like this to happen while the user is in the same render of the form guide.
3. Setup:
     LC ES2
     Workbench 9.5
     Would utilize Workspace to complete the form guide
     Want to use a .fml data model
Any help would be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Rick Kuhlmann

pguerett,
Many thanks for that lca. I have been able to move forward with development of a POC Form Guide.
However, I have one other issue that if solved will push my POC to the point of demo status for the business.
Here it is:
The business needs to be able to add the names of children to a Children Info panel on the form guide. - No problems with that.
Then they need to be able to go to another panel in the form guide and select a child name from a drop down to associate that child with the name of a father. - The previous post with the lca solved that.
Now what I need to do is to be able to take the selected child in the father panel and place that value into the data model.
Why? because the final part of this form guide is to populate a pdf form that is really a legal petition to the court. The child(ren) names form the Children Info panel are listed at the beginning of the petition. Then the selected child in the father panel is displayed in the father section.
So what I am looking to do is to populate that selected child in the father panel to a property in the data model.
However, based on the lca you sent it does not seem that when I add a Data Object to the Data Model in the Guide Builder that I am not able to push that data back into the original Data Model. I thought that using a Binding might work but I have struck out so far.
Clear as mud? Any help you or anyone else can provide would be wonderful.
Thanks a ton!

How can I pass data from a form guide to another form in a business process

How do we pass data from a form guide to another form(not necessarily a guide) without having to open the form. For example we have a small form guide to capture the contract id so we can then get data from contracts table to present to the user in a form. We want the user to open the guide (either Flex guide or form guide) to enter the contract id. Upon submission we want the process to get the contract data and put it into the form that will be opened at the next step by the user without having a user interact with the form to get the data into it. In other words we need the process to get the data and populate a different form than the form guide the contract id was entered in and this new form needs to be opened in the next step by the user.

Firstly, I'm assuming that you have a Forms ES Server if you are rendering a Guide. This could be either version ES1, ES2/2.5 or ES3/ADEP
If you submit the form back to the server, you can populate a second (PDF/XDP) form with the data bound to the same schema/Data Model using Forms ES.
You referred to the next user in the chain - If you are using Process Management, this is very easy, as you define what form is used to render the data in the "Presentation & Data" section of the Assign Task activity

Trouble getting Form Guides to render in Workspace, any ideas?

I've been trying unsuccessfully to get any Form Guides to render correctly in Workspace. I've just began to dive into the Form Guides to investigate to see if they were a usefull tool to our users. I have been following the Adobe Form Guide documentation to a T, but with two different forms I cannot get them to render in Workspace.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/8.2/fggettingstarted.pdf
On one form, an xdp, the Form Guide starts to render the .swc, getting the frame of the Form Guide, but no content or objects from the original Form ever pulls in, it just stays static. I have the most simplest of process, just to test if the Form Guide will load.
Then, on my other form, which is the basic sample Mortgage app process that you build in Adobe documentation. It's a pdf and I get a Workspace error : (ALC-WKS-007-040) and no .swc rendering.
As stated in the Form Guide documentation, I'm using the Render Form Guide ES Update1 in my xfaForm variable. And the Advanced setting I used were from the documentation as well.
My question is there something I'm missing or some way to track down my issue? Any help would be great. Thanks.

What happens with Guide is it load up the HTML stub and then load the swf from the location defined in the stub. That location gets added in there by the TargetURL property of the render service. So make sure it's set properly.
As for the XXX-040 error, this an error in the Render Form Guide ES Update1 service. Can you send the message from the error log?

Form Guide Conversions

I created a basic process using a form guide to display a form and then submit it to another user. When I initiate the process in Workspace, it indicates that The requested form produced errors. Contact the system administrator or see the server error log for details. When I look at the server log, I see an ALC-FRM-001-022 error, but looking at the Error Code Reference manual doesnt tell me much.
I'd be happy to include a partial server log, if it would help. The full server log is just too large.
TIA

Updates. At different times, I tried different things and got the following errors: ALC-WKS-007-027 and ALC-FRM-001-501. When I saw the last one, I realized that my submit button in the xdp form was emailing the xdp form. I changed the submit button to submit XML, but I still get the same error within Workspace, "The requested form produced errors. . . ." The error code is the same as above. I am including that portion of the log: . . . 2007-12-18 14:50:58,296 ERROR [com.adobe.formServer.FormsServlet] ALC-FRM-001-022: Unexpected exception: com.adobe.forms.guide.GuideGenerator: Missing

Render Form Guide from PDF

I'm trying to render a form guide from a pdf, using the RenderFormGuide service, but I get the following error:
Failed to load TemplateStream for FormQuery= from location URI =repository://.
Does this mean that the only way to render a Form Guide is to pass the path to an xdp and not a document containing a pdf?

Ok - thanks for the quick reply.
The reason I'm trying to render a Form Guide from a PDF is that once the user submits the Form Guide a PDF is rendered, but this PDF isn't Reader Enabled. So my thought was that if I used a Reader Enabled PDF to render the Form Guide I would end up with a Reader Enabled pdf once the Form Guide was submitted. I've set the 'Submit from' propety in the 'Guide Properties' to PDF.
Seen as this isn't possible, is there a way to Reader Enable the PDF the Form Guide submits to?

How to return a html repsonse after form guide rendering in browser?

How to return a html repsonse after form guide rendering in browser indicating that server has recieved transmission and request is submitted succesfuly?
I am rendering the form guide in browser using guide invoke service and when i submit the data in browser to server through guide , it is displaying some random number in browser?
i need to display a resposne that request is submitted successfully?

how could i define a variable with "html data" ?
Create a variable of type document and then a service to read the html from where ever it's located. If you put it in LiveCycle, you can use the ReadRessource service. If it's on the file system, you can use the Read Document. If it's in the database, you can use the JDBC service.
Also, one more doubt where should i use this variable in my process to get the same?
You want the response once you've submitted the data, so the html is really the result of calling the process that's processing the data. So I would create an output variable of type document on that process.
Right now it displays a random number in the browser because your submit process is long lived. When a process is long lived (asynchronous), you invoke it and then you get an identifier back. It's kind of a fire and forget. You can use that identifier to check the status of the long lived process, since long lived processes can take hours, days to complete. You don't want your browser to wait that long, hence the identifier.
However if you change the process to be short lived (synchronous), the browser will wait for the result of the process, which really means the output variables for that process. If your output variable contains html, it'll display html.
So the key is make you submit process short lived and populate the output variables appropriately.

Problem in submit button on adobe form integrated with web dynpro

Hello,
I'm facing prob in triggering web dynpro event onSubmit for Interactive form.
I've created a submit button from web dynpro activex pallete on adobe form (integrated with web dynpro) to send the form as email.
Then in the web dynpro view where this form is embedded i have created an action against onSubmit event and called a method within this.
However, on clicking Submit button this event is not getting triggered.
Please let me know what is lacking in this process?
Thanks.

Hi,
I am also facing the same problem. i have developed a simple scenario under which user have to input his/her details and on submit button it will be updated to database.
I have tried the above solution but after adopting this solution all the editable fields become non-editable.
so the above solution is not working for me could you help me out.
I think ... try this....
When you create the Adobe Form from WebDynpro, you need to follow one step in SFP Transaction or inSE80 transaction. Open the Adobe Form in any one the transaction and now in SAP menu bar "Utilities" in that you will find the "INSERT THE WEBDYNPRO SCRIPT" just click on that one. Then you will see a new Script Object is being created with the name "ContainerFoundation_JS" under the "Variables" in the Heirarchy of the Object Pallete of the Adobe Form.
This step is mandatory to use the SUBMIT Button of the "WebDynpro Native", to trigger the OnSubmit event of the WebDynpro.
Thanks

Digging into the XFA data from AS in the form guide

So I'm delving into the wonderful and wacky world of making custom layouts for Form Guides in Flex Builder, and I've got a question that hopefully y'all can answer or point me in the right direction.
So I've taken the SampleRepeaterAccordion file from the SDK and I want to modify it so that the 'title' of each accordion pane is drawn from the one of the fields in the pane itself. These values get populated in the initialize event of the subform the repeater is built off of, and the values do not change.
So I see that the title is an Hbox with a label that pulls the name of the panel and adds the index after the name. I've been able to modify that statement to pull the item that the repeater instance is based off of using the currentItem property of the repeater. So I have something like:
label="{rpt.currentItem.Resource.value}"
(where 'Resource' is the name of the field in the subform that I want to pull the value from).
This puts "[object Object]" into the label of the HBox. I want the value itself, however. I tried .rawValue instead of .value, but that came out blank.
So how should I be going about fishing data from the XFA form in the action script of the form guide? Or am I headed entirely the wrong direction? I didn't see any docs on this sort of thing. If I missed them, I'd appreciate a pointer to them!
Thanks!

Hi Templeton,
Did you find any solution for it. Is there any way to tell in form guide that which field on the repeater I want to display in header.
I was also thinking of making it in flex a custom component to do that and also add filtering capabilities. do you know how can we filter records in repeater accordion or grid
Also can you send me your code if you don't mind
Thanks
Manoj
