Forms formatting limitation

Hello! This is my first post.
I am considering purchasing the 'pro' version of forms but I need to know if I can do what I need with that before I buy it.
The free version so far has limited my formatting abilities, and for reference I am not a programmer/designer/formatter, just a guy who wants to create a decent looking form.
My layout:
One jpg that covers the entire left half of the form, from top to bottom.
On the right side, I am trying to add many multiple choice fields which correspond to parts of the jpg.
My problem:
I cannot insert different fields vertically, on top of one another. The online version only allows me to put them next to eachother. Ideally, I would have one multiple choice field with a header with 7 multiple choice options, and below that another field with another header and 7 more options, ad nauseum.
Please help, I would like to know how to proceed quickly.

Hi,
FormsCentral doesn't "natively" support the layout that you describe above. One option, that may not work depending on the content of your image, is to break up the image to generate a number of slices that can be used with the row-based layout used in FormsCentral. For example:
[ image slice 1 ] [ choice field 1]
[ image slice 2 ] [ choice field 2]

Brian

REP-52007 Error and Web Parameter Form Format Problems

I am attemting to get Oracle 9i reports working. I created a super simple report just for test purposes. I am using the following URL to call it directly from the browser:
http://myserver.com:8008/reports/rwservlet?server=repapp&report=jtest_rep.rdf&userid=myuser/mypass@mydb&DESTYPE=cache&DESFORMAT=pdf&PARAMFORM=YES
When it generates the parameter form page, the formatting of the section that has the paramters is terrible. Looking at the HTML generated, it is creating a large <table> that places the elements outside of the viewing area. I do not know how why it is doing this or how to fix it.
If I actually do find the field and enter in the prameter and hit submit, I then get:
REP-52007: Parameter form format error.
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Response is already committed! at com.evermind[Oracle9iAS (9.0.2.0.0) Containers for J2EE].server.http.EvermindHttpServletResponse.setContentType(EvermindHttpServletResponse.java:973) at javax.servlet.ServletResponseWrapper.setContentType(ServletResponseWrapper.java:27) at oracle.reports.rwclient.RWReportRunner.setContentType(RWReportRunner.java:261) at oracle.reports.rwclient.RWReportRunner.getMainFile(RWReportRunner.java:135) at oracle.reports.rwclient.RWReportRunner.getMainFile(RWReportRunner.java:95) at oracle.reports.rwclient.RWClient.runReport(RWClient.java:1312) at oracle.reports.rwclient.RWClient.processRequest(RWClient.java:1129) at oracle.reports.rwclient.RWClient.doPost(RWClient.java:318) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:283) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:336) at com.evermind[Oracle9iAS (9.0.2.0.0) Containers for J2EE].server.http.ResourceFilterChain.doFilter(ResourceFilterChain.java:59) at oracle.security.jazn.oc4j.JAZNFilter.doFilter(JAZNFilter.java:283) at com.evermind[Oracle9iAS (9.0.2.0.0) Containers for J2EE].server.http.ServletRequestDispatcher.invoke(ServletRequestDispatcher.java:523) at com.evermind[Oracle9iAS (9.0.2.0.0) Containers for J2EE].server.http.ServletRequestDispatcher.forwardInternal(ServletRequestDispatcher.java:269) at com.evermind[Oracle9iAS (9.0.2.0.0) Containers for J2EE].server.http.HttpRequestHandler.processRequest(HttpRequestHandler.java:735) at com.evermind[Oracle9iAS (9.0.2.0.0) Containers for J2EE].server.http.AJPRequestHandler.run(AJPRequestHandler.java:151) at com.evermind[Oracle9iAS (9.0.2.0.0) Containers for J2EE].util.ThreadPoolThread.run(ThreadPoolThread.java:64)
If I set paramform=no and pass in the parmater in the url string, then it skips the paramter form and runs fine accepting the input.
Any idea what the solution is for these two errors?

After more searching, I found out that the problem for both is an Oracle Bug posted on mealink. It has to do with using capital letters for the oracle default parameters. Once you make it lower case, it works.

Parameter form format error

I have just deployed my first report to our 9iAS app server. I can successfully run the report in my browser if I pass ALL parameters in the URL.

Can anyone tell me what is wrong? This report run fine, including the parameter selection, in the Report Builder. I simply saved the report out to a JSP and copied it to the report server.
Thanks,
Kevin

You may have hit a bug when passing parameter paramform as "PARAMFORM=yes" or "Paramform=yes", you will get the REP-52007 error. The fix will be available in Reports 9.0.2.1.
As a work around, please submit the request with all lower case "paramform=yes" and try again.
Hope this helps,

Printing completed form responces in the original PDF completed form format.

I sign into forms central, I see the responces to my form, but the answers are all in seprate fields. So to match the answers to the original PDF form, I must print the responces, and then mathch them with the original form. Is there a way to print the responces in the original PDF form format? So that the responces will appear in the PDF form (in this case a credit application) so that I may print the completed form?

Check out this FAQ: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1383
You can just save a response to PDF and then print the PDF. Note: This is a paid only feature.

Can the individual form response be sent via e-mail to us in the PDF form format (not the raw output we see currently when using e-mail notifcation) each time a user submits a reponse?

Hi, we basically have an on-line job application that we need to be sent to us via e-mail notification every time a user submits a response, not with the raw data output from the form fields like the current e-mail notification setting allows, but as an actual PDF attachment that mirrors the format of the on-line form, with the user response data in it. We need this to be automated and sent to a central HR e-mail to distro to others. It would be essentially the same thing as a user downloading a PDF form, filling it out, then e-mailing it back to us, but using the submit options via the Form Central server instead. Is this even possible and, if so, is there any documentation on it? I have not found anything clear in searching for this same topic.

No this is not possible within Formscentral. You could export a PDF without a submit button (an option when saving your form as PDF) and then in Acrobat add a submit button to your form and have it automatically sent to the email of your choice. This kind of workflow falls outside the scope of Formscentral.

Keeping PDF form format when sending via email

Hello, I have created a form using Adobe LiveCycle. It contains a submit button to send the filled out form to a recipient via email. After numerous draft attempts the form gets converted into an .XML format when it is attached to a new email message. I want the form to stay as a PDF but LiveCycle indicates the form would need to be sent to an HTTP address. I don't have such an address.
Is there some way to force the form to keep its PDF format and be sent via email by the push of a button?
(I know that you can click File--attach to Email to but I would like to avoid that method). Thank you.

Q: Is there some way to force the form to keep its PDF format and be sent via email by the push of a button?
A #1: Yes, you can use the standard button, set the format to "PDF" and supply the mailto:[email protected] and it will use the client side email software to attach and send the PDF. Note: You will need to enable usage rights on the PDF to allow Adobe Reader users to submit whole PDF format. Normally Adobe Reader users are only allowed to submit the data formats, XML and XDP for LiveCycle forms, and HTML, XFDF and FDF for Acroforms.
A #2: You can also bypass client-side email software such as OUTLOOK, if you set the submit button action to a URL of a server-side script, such as PHP or ASP.Net. The script could generate an SMTP message, and attach the submission without the use of client-side email software. By using a server-side script, the PDF submission process is almost fool proof.

Email--forms--formatting--HTML??

I am trying to send email based on some events in my forms application. The email seems to work fine, with it being delievered right and the contents look fine. But the issue seems to be with formatting, if i send emails (using outlook via forms--SMTP) , the formatting is lost.
I have a variable called message which looks like this
message := 'line 1'||chr(10)||chr(13)'line2';
but this doesnt seem to work, i.e. when i read my email the message looks like
line1 line2
which is in the same line..is ther any other way of formatting such emails with indents, fonts etc. ?
any pointers on this would be appreciated
thanks

SAP LSO Course Evaluatio Form format in LSO_PV15

Hi,
We have a requirement from client about Course Evaluation Form.
- When we open the course evaluation form in T.Code PHAP_CATALOG or in the learning portal the format is displayed in PDF or smart form.
- When the course administrator opens the same form in T.Code LSO_PV15 to complete the manual course evaluation the form is opened differently and the form display is not gr8.
Can you please help is there any configuration we would have to do to display the evaluation form in PDF format?
Thanks
Gita

yes, wat your seeing is correct only, as administrator in ECC side it will show as 2nd screen shot.
In portal it will display as WDABAP application, like appraisal template.
and print view (PDF view ) is common in Portal and ECC side.

You are trying to put an alphanumeric character in a numeric parameter field, or a wrong date format. Look at the format of the parameter field in the reports Builder and compare it to the parameters in the query.

Adobe forms - format G_RAW - output tray

Hello,
I was using formats of device type (DINA4) to print sapscript formulars in different output trays. Now I have switched to adobe forms.
Adobe forms are always printed (as I've understood) in G_RAW format, and not in DINA4 format as I want.
For my printer ( KYO FS95XX PCL POSS, Driver HPL2 HP Laserjet) I'm not able to manipulate output trays in "Printer initialization" for G_RAW format (in SPAD).
Example for DINA4:
Example for G_RAW:
Do you have any suggestion how to:
1. Change format from G_RAW to DINA4?
2. To manipulate output trays of G_RAW format?
Thanks,
Evgenij

Hello Evgenij,
the reason why format G_RAW doesn't have any printer actions (e.g. tray commands) in default is that the contents of this format will not be evaluated by R/3.
In contrast, the contents of a DINA4 spool (SAPScript / SmartForm) will be interpreted according to the OTF rules. This means that storing an ADS (Adobe Document Services) data in DINA4 format could cause errors which hinder the printing of that spool, because ADS can not generate spools in OTF format.
These mean the following:
ADS spools should only be stored in G_RAW format. No other format should be selected as it could have unforeseen consequences (so the spool won't be printed)
Editing the "Printer initialization" of G_RAW for tray commands is not needed, because:
SAP KBA #2111085 - "Tray control in SAP" describes how tray selection can be done for ADS spools:
"You can select the tray using a job profile (see SAP Note 1743567) or by making a change to the XDC file and selecting the paper size assigned to the tray in the form or using a job profile (see SAP Note 766410)."
"If this has not been done and you choose "Additional Print Options" and select print options here (including using a default setting for the output device), these are used."
"You can define print tickets again in the definition of the output device in transaction SPAD. If no print options are selected in the print dialog box, the print ticket passed to the form interface by the print program is used (field IE_OUTPUTPARAMS-PRINTTICKET when the function module FP_JOB_OPEN is called)."
"If no print ticket is passed by the print program, the print ticket for which the "Standard Print Ticket" indicator is set for the output device is used. For this, you must use the report RSPO0021 to set the parameter SPAD_TRAY_IFBA."
"If there is no standard print ticket, the system uses the tray set on the "Output Attributes" tab in the definition of the output device in transaction SPAD (if the parameter SPAD_TRAY_IFBA is set)."
Best regards,
Laszlo

Form format A4 / Letter

Hi all,
I created a form which will be used in Europe and in the USA. As you might know different standard printing formats are used: A4 and Letter.
Is it possible to use the same Adobe Interactive Form with changing MasterPage format dependent on the continent/country in which the form is printed to?
For example the country of the user could be transfered via interface to check which format to use.
I appreciate any help, hints and good advices which leads to a solution of my problem.
Thanks & regards,
Phil

Hi Andres,
thanks for your quick answer on my question!
I'm pretty sure that I read or heard of the possibility to change the MasterPage depending on a variable (like country) handed over from the interface. I hope that someone can help providing me with the information needed to implement that!
The variant with the two forms has two big disadvantages in my opinion:
1) Editing the form lead to identically editing the two variants of the form (as we know that's very tedious!)
2) Duplicate one of the forms (i.e the A4 form) and change the MasterPage format leads to adjustments (a bad compromise would be to use the overlapping area) .
Thanks & regards,
Phil

Forms - Formating numberic cells in LiveCycle

Creating forms in Adobe acrobat Pro I could format a number cell to show negative numbers in red text and show parentheses. How can I do that in LiveCycle?

The error(s) occur when trying to save the document. I want each user to tell the first page how many rows they will need in the photo log table, so they would enter however many photos were taken in the box: "Number of Photos on Roll:" ---> Then click the "Submit" cmd button. That should expand the table. Once it expands, it should also add the same amount of instances of the photo compilation page (2nd Page) as there are rows in 1st page table. Then the user will populate each cell of the table on page 1 with data. The data entered into the page 1 table cells will populate the text fields (photo caption) in Page 2 once the user clicks on the "Populate Captions!" cmd button in the lower left corner of the table on Page 1.
The problem is in the distributing of the form to the user so they can save the form after populating the data. I did a test run this morning and for some reason it did do the "print to PDF" correctly for 5 photos on the roll (though this has not been happening every time and especially for a large number of pages, ie. 80 photos). However, after entering the data for 5 rows on page 1 and then populating the 5 photo compilation pages, I saved a copy as "Save As PDF" and closed the document. Then re-opened the copy in Acrobat Pro X. The new copy:
-had 5 additional rows added to Page 1
-Duplicates of some of the fields
-Only retained the 1st instance of the Second Page (Photo w/ Caption) and not all fields were populated
Again, this all works fine in the LiveCycle Preview but not anywhere else. I do not have this set up to be linked to an external data source (YET) but there is javascript in the cmd buttons. I also do not want to distribute this form to end users and then collect the data back from them. I want them to be able to save a copy of my LiveCycle designed form, open in Adobe Pro, populate the data and save as many copies as needed for form production.

HTML form size limitation

It's about a size limit. When a HTML form is submitted, there is a size limit of how much information can be sent to the server. I'm talking about using the POST submission (as opposed to the GET submission).
It used to be that the HTTP protocol specified a limit of 8K. The new version of the protocol now says there is no limit imposed and it is up to each server manufacturer to set its own limits.
Can anybody help?

So what is the data size limitation of Oracle HTML form? Does anybody know that? or if there is a document can be referenced?
