Forms Builder - Want to use Clipboard

Form builder - developer 2000
I am writing a program which should check weather there is something in clipboard .
as soon as something comes to clipboard the trigger should
be fired . Is there any trigger which will get fired as soon
as something add to clipboard .
Value to the clipboard comes from Comm PORT - that is further
connect to a telephone device which gives caller ID .
Is is very important because this will help my program to interact with another application which put some text to clipboard and my program takes that value and query my database
to give the result .
Thank you

There is no such a trigger. However u can use WHEN-TIMER-EXPIRED trigger (read about timers: Create_Timer, Delete_Timer, etc.) to periodically check the clipboard, actualy to perform Paste_Region - say on each second. Then just make a logic to compare the old paste with the new one and do appropriate actions. Hope this helps.

How to reference a file with the XML Forms Builder?

Hello,
I've created a form at the XML Form builder (I am using NW 04). This enables the users to create new topic.
I've created at at the "Edit" form an option to upload a file along with the new topic. The file is being saved in a subfolder of the topics main folder.
My question is how to create a link to the specific file that has been uploaded with it's specific topic at the "Show" Form? Note that the subfolder contains files of many topics, I want to link to this specific file uploaded with it's relevant topic when created. How do I do that?

Hi Roy,
> I've created at the "Edit" form an option
> to upload a file along with the new topic.
What I expect that you have done is to add a browse functionality which browses within KM with the possibility to upload an image into KM?! As done within SAP Demo News?!
If that's the way, just compare the SAP Demo News: Create /DataSchema/News/image and map it to the browser, whereas in the show form part you'll map it to an image.
If I didn't understand you right and the issue is still open, please report...
Hope it helps

Form Builder storing results as WDDX

A while back i wrote a form builder. To store the results of
a form submission I decided to use wddx and save the xml string
into the db, which seemed like a good idea at the time. Further
down the line this form builder has been used for much larger forms
and sheer amount of data being store as text is making the server
crash when it has to be serialized or deserialized.
I was wondering if there is a better way to store this data,
obviously storing the data in tables would be a bit of a pain as
the form builder is dynamic and can have any number of fields.
I decided against storing the wddx data in a text file as i
was worried about read/write locks on a busy form. Was i wrong to
go down this route?
Hope someone can help

First of all, don't be afraid of a huge amount of records.
That is what
databases are designed to deal with. A great many very smart
people
have spend a great many hours making database management
systems very
efficient at processing huge amounts of records for the past
fifty years
or so. Personally, I trust their work to be more complete
then anything
I can cobble together on my own.
Secondly, I would at least break it up so that each complete
form submit
is one record in the database. Then at least you are dealing
with a
constant sized WDDX packet, not one that is growing with
every new
record append to the data.

I want to design a News like the *LInklist* by XML Form Builder

Hello:
   Everyone!
   Now I have another problem about XML Form Builder
   I want to design a News like the LInklist by XML Form Builder
   I want the result,For Example
SAP News

       2news2
       3news3
who can give me some adviseon about how to disign the Edit, Show and Renderlistitem in XML
Thanks a lot
Hope your help!

Hi,
In XML Form
1) Edit form is used for designing the user interface.
2) Show form is used for displaying the xml form to the end user
3) RenderListItem is used for rendering the xml form into a small description like 1News1, 2news2 etc..
    Here you need to display only the heading of the xml form
After you create the xml form
Create Layout set where you need to give the proerties like xml renderer form , no of items to display etc...
Thanks&Regards,

XML Form Builder Error using JRE Version 1.6.0_05

Hi Experts,
I am trying to create an XML Form using XML Form Builder. But I noticed that the root nodes under the data model area of the said tool is not clickable(even if it has + sign on it)thus hindering me to continue. I encounter this error using jre version 1.6.0_05.
Can someone help with this?
Thanks a lot

Hi Leah,
Have you tried double clicking?
If this doesn't solve the issue, you might want to try using a different version of the browser and disable the pop up blocker on your browser.
Please try this out and let me know.

Alternative use of date picker in Forms Builder

Hi
I am looking for a way to create event based actions by use of standard functionality.
I have created a calendar module by use of the Forms Builder. I would like to add a date picker to a show form and add some events based on user actions to this page.
When a date is selected (by a click on a date from the small date picker) a new page with events for the selected day should be displayed instead
Have anyone any alternative experience with the date picker in the end user environment?
Regards
John

Hi there,
I presume that you want to run a report with date parameters. The parameter form of Oracle Reports has limited capabilities. It certainly does not have a date picker (Calendar). However, you can use SQL to give you a list of dates for the LOV but it will not be elegant.
If you have Oracle Forms, it can call the calendar for the user to pick the date. The values are then passed to the report as parameters.
Hope the above helps.
Best Regards,
John

Form Builder - What is it and How to use it ?

Hi All .
If you are familiar with Form Builder , please refer me any document or links . I have heard about form builder but i did not find any documents on it .

RAS or Report Application Server offers services to modify report at runtime. To use it you need CR server or Enterprise level product. If you want to just view the report in an optimized way then you should rather use Page Server. To use Page server you again need Enterpriseserver level product and report in managed environment.
JRC can cause performance bottleneck but there are several other factors that influence report performance such as DB type, how complex ig the report is, how is grouping performed at server side or at Crystal etc. Also, if report takes longer to run the Designer it would take at least that much time to run in JRC application.
Look at the following link for Developer DocumentationAPI specification for RAS and Enterprise if you want to explore RAS option further.

HRForms using Form Builder - how to create one spool

Hi,
I am using HRForms and Adobe (Form Builder) to create the Payslip.
The InfoStars do not contain the Dimension EMPLPOYEE. When I run the report I get one PDF document for each employee. If I want one PDF for all employees or one spool doc, do I have to insert the Dimension into each InfoStar ans also ajust the Adobe Layout?
In the report selections screen I have the option to choose if I want to print per person or all together in one spool. But this doesn't work. I guess the reason is the missing Dimension!?
Anyone experience in this?
Thanks and best regards
Viktoria

Hi,
I copied form SAP_PAYSLIP_DE_P. It doesn't work with parameter "Number of Employees per Form (0= All)" = 0. Only with 1. With 1 it creates 1 spool document for each person. I guess that the context of the form and the layout was not created to work for the parameter setting = 0 (all employees in one form).
Regrads,
Viktoria
Hi,
in between I found out that if you enter a big number in this parameter like '999' one spool document is created but within this there are many pdf documents ( 1 / employee). There is still the problem if you want to have 1 pdf for all employees. There is no standard solution yet but I know that there are customer solutions to create 1 document for all employees or at least have 1 spool if you have to split the run ...

Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service

Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of. I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit" issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
(and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks', "Adobe phone-in experiences")

Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
So I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself, I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products" to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE" button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is, how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
So after thinking this all out, and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year, I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however, if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending" with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly, and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add).., except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form.... Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of. First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time) of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one, basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it... and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly, the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4) If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that? Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...

How to display or generate PDF417 barcode dynamically in PDF form? I am using Acrobat XI Professional and there is a Bar Code Field in the same through which I generated the same. But I want to generate the same dynamically.

How to display or generate PDF417 barcode dynamically in PDF form? I am using Acrobat XI Professional and there is a Bar Code Field in the same through which I generated the same. But I want to generate the same dynamically.

What do you mean by dynamically? When yo set up a 2D bar code field you specify which field name/value pairs you want to include, along with other parameters. But be aware that they won't work with Reader unless you Reader-enable the document with LiveCycle Reader Extensions and include the bar code usage right. It will work with Acrobat Standard/Pro.
