Is it possible to hide the previous comment & new comment fields in FPM webdynpro used in HCM forms based on conditions e.g 'if they are empty' or based on scenario stage... etc.
Kindly help.

Replacing Adobe forms with Smart Forms for printing FPM based forms

Hello All,
This pertains to HCM Process and Forms with Floor Plan Manager (FPM) based forms.
SAP has provided Adobe Forms as the standard print option for FPM based forms, as can be seen in the attached screenshot.
We want to use the FPM based forms without using Adobe Document Services (ADS). I am checking the feasibility of replacing the PDF forms with Smart Forms, either through configuration or customization.
System Landscape: ECC 6.0 EhP6
Any inputs or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Arun.

Hi Ketul,
Irrespective of the process or scenario, we would like to use Smart Forms instead of Adobe Forms. As seen in the screenshot, SAP has provided the default option of generating a PDF form. This requires installing and using Adobe Document Services. We would like to remove this dependency on Adobe Document Services.
Instead, we would like to use Smart Forms for printing purposes.
This requirement is not tied to any specific process or scenario, but to any business process implemented using HCM Process and Forms framework.
Let me know if you need any further clarifications.
Regards,
Arun.

Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line?

Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line? I can't find anything in the documentation or a template that does this.
I am trying to create a "documents received" checklist with a check box on the left margin, a date-received field to the right of the check box and and a description of the document (Formatted Text) on the far right.
In the past I have entered the Fixed Text with a word processor, published it to a PDF file, then added the check box and date fields with the Acrobat Forms editor. I would prefer to use FormsCentral if it is possible.

We now support multiple fields on one line. This post provides a brief overview.
Give it a try and send us your feedback.
Sorry it took so long.

Rep-52005 error when running a report from form with parameter form

Your code seems to be implementing metalink note 139546.1 - Using Reports parameter forms with RUN_REPORT_OBJECT on the web.
For what I can see, the P_ACTION parameter should end in ?...
i.e.
P_ACTION=http://<hostname.domain:port>/reports/rwservlet?'
set_report_object_property (
repid,
report_other,
'paramform=yes P_USER_CONNECT='
|| vc_connect
|| ' P_SERVERNAME='
|| v_reportserv
|| ' P_ACTION='
|| v_report_url
|| '/reports/rwservlet?'
);If this does not fix your problem, then to troubleshoot further you would have to post the code in your Before Parameter Form trigger of your report.
Hope this helps,
UPDATE:
If the above does not fix your problem, my guess is that report name is not being generated in the hidden runtime values build by the code in the Before Parameter Form trigger.
i.e.
http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet?report=&destype=cache&desformat=PDF
The above code will throw error REP-52005: The specified key report does not exist in key map file.

Saving a PDF-form with nested forms and tables

I created a multiplaged form with a couple JS-functions to add table-instances and complete tables and a few more. I saved the form with additional rights to make sure my users can save the form and its content using Adobe Reader. Now whenever the form is saved, some - but only some - information disappears, respectively isn't saved but replaced through the default content. I created quite some forms before and never ever had this problem. I'm using LiveCycle Designer ES 2 )but experienced the same problem when using ES 3) and Adobe Reader X.
Filled out form before saving:
Filled out form after saving and re-opening:
Any ideas?

Hello
When you work with live cycle designer you create your form and you save it. Then, when you want to send it to people you use the assistant with create 2 other different files :
1) A publication form that you will send by mail
2) A blank form that you will fill with information the user sent to you
So, call the assistant create the 2 files but don't send them to people and save them locally. Open the second file and fill it in reader, you will see you will save change.

E-Requiement - Replace Publication Smart Form with Customised Forms

Hi All,
In E - Recruitment, We have standard smart form "HRRCF_PUBLICATION_INT" (publication for internal candidate)and "HRRCF_PUBLICATION_EXT" (publication for external candidate.
Here client requirment to change layout of these forms for that we developed customised smart forms according to the client requirment.
I want to replace these standard forms with my customised "Z" forms.
please anybody can tell me how to do the same.
Regards,
Priya

Hi Priya,
I am not sure why as per the client requirement we cant change it in the spro ??
anyways if you want to achieve it then we have to go for an enhancement...
for eg i want to change a std smartform which displays the candidate and requisition data overviews in the manager self service.
then i know that the class CL_HRRCF_M_DATAOVERVIEW will be used and in this a method called GET_FM_NAME will be called which fetches the smartform(std) so in this FM create a enhancement at the last so you have a chance to overwrite the form name..
Ie. in FM....
This is std....

Adobe form with Webdynpro - Form is hanging on click of Submit button

Hello Experts,
My View has an adobe form that has many dropdowns and input fields. There are some fields which get automatically populated based on entries made by the users. There are several internal tables getting populated in the WDDOINIT method. I have a 'Submit Button' which when clicked should close the browser, retrieve data in the Context and do processing in SAP.
When I click on the submit button, I get a 'Wait' symbol (the circle symbol) for a very long time and then the Connection time out error comes up.
I commented the population of some internal tables in the 'Init' method. when I tested by clicking this button, it worked. The browser got closed and processing in SAP was done too.
I am working with a fairly large data. 2-3 of the internal tables (that I commented) have 2000-3000 records. Is there is restriction on how much data the WDN can handle? I am stuck now because even though all codes are correct, the wdn is not able to handle the data.
Any suggestions ?
appreciate all your help! Regards, Liz

This issue is resolved. This was due to loading a large data set to the form.

Printer wont print: "HP Smart Web Printing is not compatible with FF 37.0.1" Also, I can't fill forms with Robo Form

No details needed

I understand that the message gives that Firefox does not support the printer giving issues as well as Robo Form is not filling in forms for Firefox.
Please consider the troubleshooting steps suggested:
*[[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]
As for the addon/extension I can recommend trying Safe Mode to see if there is an issue with one of the add ons, or disable each of the extensions to troubleshoot what might be interacting with this feature.

I have a Application Form with many form fields and...

I need to edit some of the text. How do I do this without having to spend lots of time putting in the form fields again?

I am guessing you have put the form together in something like InDesign, made a PDF, done a lot of work with form fields over the top in Acrobat and now need to update the base artwork whilst retaining your Acrobat Edits?
The way to do this is make your base artwork edits and make a new PDF (with a different name), open your PDF with the added form fields and choose Document > Replace Pages, navigate to your new PDF and replace the pages.

Creating a main form, with internal forms help! (a poke in the right direct

Hey guys, I am trying to make a form application within swing (currently using netbeans gui builder), and I am trying to achieve a standard sized form (say 300x200px) and when the user clicks a "next" button, the
form layout does not change and a new form appears inside. I have looked into jinternalFrames; however I do not want a moveable frame inside, I just want to have an arbituary frame where the content inside
changes. I plan on making around 60 pages (forms) within this app so differant jforms or something is the logical procedure.
I just need a point in any direction at all, as to how to achieve this; I am confident programmer in C/C#/C++/VB.NET (yes im new to java) however it's so similiar to C# I doubt i'll have a problem either:
a) information on how to program the swing manually without a gui builder
b) a method of how to achieve what im doing in netbeans/eclipse
Thanks all

when the user clicks a "next" button, the form layout does not change and a new form appears insideAnd the [Card Layout Actions|http://www.camick.com/java/blog.html?name=card-layout-actions] should help with this.

Pdf form with mulitple forms inside

Hi
I am working on a strange requirement. I have a selection screen in WD ABAP application and employee id is one of the selection parameter. When a user selects multiple employees BAPI gives WD employee headers and each Employee's transactional data in separate tables. Now requirement is something to get all of this data in a single PDF which will have employee header and Employee's transactional data followed by page break and same block should start for next employee.
Employee 1 Header
Employee Transactional data Table 1
Employee 2 Header
Employee Transactional data Table 2
and so till the last employee.
Please suggest if that;s possible in PDF and if yes how should I proceed.
Thanks

hi,
i think you will need to create a smartform and den it will open via your application in PDF form

I would like to send a form with the form fields locked but with the links still active. Any Ideas?

I'm new to creating fillable forms and I feel that this appoach would help to create HVAC proposals in quickly by editing a few fields within a PDF. I would like to then email the form that I created to my client, but I do not want them to be able to change the fields such as the cost of the job, yet I do want them to be able to open links that are embedded in the proposal. So far my approach has been to send them a flattened copy which essentially make the entire PDF stagnant. Any ideas would be much appreciated!

You can use the free selective flattening tool that's available here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

SAP HCM P&F : FPM Form List UIBB Table Width...

Dear All,
I am stuck with strange issue. In SAP HCM Process & Forms with FPM Form, when we use UIBB List layout configuration, how can we set the width of the table?
During run time,table is displayed from left to right (column A-H) and all other form fields are from column A - G only, so the table looks very annoying.
Any suggestion how can I set the width of the list layout table in FPM Form ?
Chohan

Dear Sahir,
Thanks for reply as always.
My setting for List UIBB is :
and during run-time the list UIBB is shown like this, and I want its width equal to the above comment box' width.
