Getting complete file path in Adobe Interactive Form

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I have a field ZPATH1 on Adobe Interactive Form. I am putting a BROWSE button and writing following JavaScript on CLICK event on this button for populating the chosen file path into field ZPATH1.
*Start of JavaScript
var sFile;
event.target.importDataObject(sFile);
var oFile;
oFile = event.target.getDataObject(sFile);
this.parent.parent.Sub_Form_Fields_Mass.ZPATH1.rawValue = oFile.path;
*End of JavaScript
1. event.target.importDataObject(sFile) --> Giving me the pop up to select the file.
2. this.parent.parent.Sub_Form_Fields_Mass.ZPATH1.rawValue = oFile.path; --> Putting the oFile path in field ZPATH1 on the form.
3. This way is only giving me the selected FILE NAME whereas I need the complete path.
I have tried below way also:
this.parent.parent.Sub_Form_Fields_Mass.ZPATH1.rawValue = even.target.path;
This function returns me the complete path but in URL form. It does not give me the presentation server path.
Please suggest me how to get the complete path of presentation server to the file.
Appreciation would be honored in form of points!!!

How to get the file path from HTML input form in Firefox 3...

In IE7 (and probably all famous browsers, including old Firefox 2), if we submit a file like 'C:\folder1\folder2\folder3\filename' it works properly and gives the full path to the file and the filename.
In Firefox 3, it returns only 'filename', because of their new 'security feature' to truncate the path, as explained in Firefox bug tracking system (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143220)
I have no clue how to overcome this 'new feature' because it causes all upload forms in my webapp to stop working on Firefox 3.
Can anyone help to find a single solution to get the file path both on Firefox 3 and IE7?
Thanks in advance....

As you're posting this in the JSF forum and looking at your [previous topic|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5342365], I assume that you're using Tomahawk's t:inputFileUpload. In this case, just use UploadedFile#getInputStream(). You may find this article useful: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2008/02/uploading-files-with-jsf.html].

Copy&paste from a file excel to Adobe Interactive Form

Hi all
my project is based on WDJ and Adobe Interactive Form.
I need to know if it is possible to do a copy&paste from a file excel to my Adobe Interactive Form.
Can I copy an area of data from an Excel spreadsheet (set of contiguous rows and columns)
and paste them into a text field of my form, preserving the formatting (font, size, structure of coloums/rows,...)?
Can you help me please?
Thanks!

You may try posting this question in either the Designer or Forms forum.
This forum is for the LiveCycle PDF Generator ES product - a server side document conversion module. If you want to convert the entire Excel spreadsheet to a PDF server side, then PDF Generator is the correct tool to use.

File browser button on Adobe Interactive Form

Hello,
We have a ZCI Adobe Interactive Form with XML-Schema-Based Interface.
There is a text field on the form with a button beside it. The requirement is that when this button is clicked, a file browser window should open up. After the user selects the file on PC, the file path should get populated in the text field.
I have tried using xfa.host.importData() in the Click event of the button. But nothing seems to happen.
Note that all other methods like xfa.host.messageBox() seem to work fine.
Can anybody please help?
Thanks in advance
Sagar

Ok, I was able to solve it.
I placed a hidden text field on the form and wrote the following JavaScript on 'Click' event.
var sFile;
event.target.importDataObject(sFile);
var oFile;
oFile = event.target.getDataObject(sFile);
pa0001.Subform.FILENAME.rawValue = oFile.path;
var cFile;
cFile = event.target.getDataObjectContents(sFile);
pa0001.Subform.filecontent.rawValue = util.stringFromstreams(cFile,"utf-8");
This will upload the file content and place it in the hidden text field. I can use this hidden text field in my Web Dynpro application.
Just came to know that the Java Script we write in Adobe is known as AcroJS! Nice one.
By the way, Blag can I give points to myself for answering my own question?
Just kidding

Saving Adobe Interactive Form into a Server Path in Webdynpro.

Hi Forum,
                 I have an Adobe Interactive Form as UI element in my webdynpro View. This form is available in the context attribute in Binary Format. I can read the form from this attribute as Byte Array only. I want to save this file in to a folder located in the Portal Server (ex : path :
usr\jc00\j2ee\........\temp\myfolder).
              I am trying with the following code :
IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo = wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute(IPrivateTestCompView.IContextElement.PDF_SOURCE);
       IWDModifiableBinaryType binaryType =(IWDModifiableBinaryType) attributeInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
       IPrivateTestCompView.IContextElement element =     wdContext.currentContextElement();
       binaryType.setMimeType(WDWebResourceType.PDF);
       //if a file in the 'FileResource' attribute exists
       if (element.getPDFSource() != null) {
            try {
                                     String ext=binaryType.getMimeType().getFileExtension();
                                String fileName="PriceUpdateForm1";
                      byte[] b = wdContext.currentContextElement().getPDFSource();
                      File files = new File("C:

                                                       out.write(b);

Blank page getting displyed whn using adobe interactive forms

Hi All,
I am Facing one problem while using Adobe interactive forms in Web Dynpro.

Deployment result shows blank view....
m not getting the cause of the problem.
kindly help if someone knows the cause/solution.
Thanks,

Hi there,
I am having the same problem. I deployed the same WD with IF on 2 different machines and there everything works fine. I using the same browser (IE6) on all the machines. Where are using Native IF and running Adobe Reader 7.0.8. We are on NW04s SP9.
I tested the ADS Webservice on the machine and that is working fine.....
Hope somebody can tell me where to look.
Thx in advance.
Amit, when you are using IF type "native" the at least run Adobe Reader 7.0.8. Maybe this solves the problem for you.
Kind regards,
Maarten.

E-mail adobe interactive form without showing it..

Hi experts!
I am trying to create a WD apllication in which when the user presses a button an adobe interactive form will be called and e-mail, without showing the actual form.
From what i saw in the corresponding tutorial, in order to attach the file to the e-mail, the file must first exist in pdf format.
But, during runtime all i have is the pdfsource.
So, the point is: how can i create the actual pdf from the pdf Source without showing it????
Thanx in advance!!!!

Hi,
actually I would not recommend that. That's something which has to be programmed completely new and does not exist at the moment. If you want to have it outside in the internet for externals you will force candidates to use Adobe Acrobat reader in a certain version and might get browser problems. So technical support might become an issue.
So the only opportunities you have without creating something new, is using Web Dynpro standard or a third party tool based on flash.
Best regards

Error in Adobe Interactive forms

Hi All,
I am implementing MSS/ESS.
I created an Adobe Interactive form in my View and mapped it with the corresponding context. I binded the interactive form(in the Right Click->Interactive Form->Edit) also with the corresponding context. But when I run the Application, I am not getting the following error.

3. Display the user ADSUser.
4. Change the ADSUser password. (You can use the same password.) Check the checkbox
