Hiding second page in adobe forms

hi all,
I have a adobe form with 2 pages. My first page needs to be displayed always whereas the second page needs to be displayed only for certain conditions. Please let me how this can be done asap. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vinod.

Hi Vinod,
Here are the Steps to hide the Page, I don't know on what conditions you are going to dispay the second page,
But the general steps are as follows:
1) Go to Layout
2) Go to Hierarchy Tab
3) Select the Page / Subform that needs to be Hidden or to be made Invisible
4) Go to "Paletts" menu item--> select "Objects" option from it
5) Objects tab will be selected by default
5.1) Select the Master page/ Page/ Subform (Tab)
5.2) Use the "Presence" property to hide the pages you want, i.e.,
Select the value for the "Presence" field from the dropdown,
5.3) Select Invisible / Hidden (Exclude from Layout)

Samad

Here we can desing footer information
whatever you desing in the master page it will show for all the body pages
Body pages:
Included in the content area
Where we can design table data, it should repeat for line times.

Hiding Pages in ADOBE form using formcalc scripting.

Hi Experts,
I am new to ADOBE form and currently working on invoice print output. (NOT an Interactive adobe form)
My requirement is
i wanted to print one main page and 5 different annexures(anexures are having different layouts so is in diff forms and contained in diff pages)
Deppending on 'Oreder reason' (made as global variable) , i need to select appropriate annexure and print
main page and any one of the annexure.
so i should hide all other annexure, to achive this i used formcalc scripting.
i tried hiding annexure 2 by following code,
data.Annexure2::ready:form - (FormCalc, client)
if ( data.G_F_ORDER_REASON.rawValue == "ANX" )
then $.presence = "hidden"
endif
i have passed value 'ANX' to this , i could see the value of order reason printed on page Annexure2 but it is not executing (getting in to if condition) condition and not hiding the page ...
Experts please help me...
this way i have to hide 4 other annexures...please help me or give me some other option to achive this.
thanks and regards

coding Formcalc is a pain.
But you're doing the right thing by passing in a variable and hiding based on the content of it.
Here's an example of where I'm hiding a subform on a page.
if ( main_sf2.charter_only.CHARTER_DOC.rawValue eq "X" ) then
main_sf2.pts_sf.presence = "visible"
else
main_sf2.pts_sf.presence = "hidden"
endif
Looks like your code is similar - try changing
( data.G_F_ORDER_REASON.rawValue == "ANX" ) to
( data.G_F_ORDER_REASON.rawValue eq "ANX" )
or instead of $.presence = "hidden" fully qualify the name of your page to data.Annexure2.presence = "hidden"

Hiding Windows, fields in adobe forms

Hello,
I am new to adobe forms and presently working on one requirement.
My form got 3 pages, on first page i have one table. i) If the table contains only one row i have to hide the entire page.
ii) On the second page i have Po details and on third page I have SO and FI details. If the tables for PO, SO or FI are empty i need to hide the windows.
iii) Current Page/ total Page no : This field needs to be displayed from second page and once the form repeats for another input value these two needs to be initialized and start counting based on the data extension to multiple pages. Presently printing starting from 1st page.
I have all the flags First_page_flag, Second_page_flag, third_page_so and third_page_Fi flags controlled from print program and are available in the context menu but not on the LAYOUT.
I also tried the following code to hide the page but it didn't work out: (Initialize)
var pdisplay = xfa.resolveNode("Table_PO[*]");
if(pdisplay.value == NULL)
pdisplay.presence = "hidden";
I could able to hide the windows, subforms and fields with out the flag check via java scripting.
this.presence = "hidden"; but don't know how to use these flags in script editor to hide all these.
Can any one help me to achieve these functionalities for which i will be so thankful to you.
Best Regards,
Naresh.

Hi Vibhav, Hi Aravind,
I closed my layout and run the program. But still getting the same error.
For Tables in PAGE 2 and PAGE 3
Anyways I could able to hide the TABLES (Sub forms - Page 2 & 3) now by including and hiding the flags(WV_SDISPLAY, WV_FDISPLAY) in the respective subforms. I have used the following JAVA scripting to achieve this in initialization event:
if(this.WV_SDISPLAY.rawValue = "X")
this.presence = "hidden".
For PAGE hide:
But, in my requirement i have to hide the FIRST PAGE and not the TABLE, if the table(subform) containes one row. I set a flag wv_idisplay in the program. Now if i include this flag under this table and follow the same JAVA scripting mentioned above it is not working.
if(this.WV_IDISPLAY.rawValue = "X")
this.presence = "hidden".
Also, from some of the threads and by the comments of Gold Otto, I could understand that, to hide a Master page, i need to put the condition on it's associated subform and i am proceeding with this logic.
Could you please help me if this is not the correct approach. Also, request you to send me some sample Java Script to hide a PAGE.
Thank You,
Regards,
Naresh.

Hiding a page in a form

Hi,
I'm creating a 2 page form. One is a U.S. version and one is a Canadian version and I'm using radio buttons to toggle between the two versions. I want to have the US version be the page that is displayed first in PDF, with the Canadian version hidden. When they click on the Canada button I want the US version to disappear and the Canadian one to display. So, in the forms initialize event I have page2.presence = "hidden"; But, the second page is still displaying for some reason. Is there a way to get this to work?
Thanks,
Chad

This is a known bug. The radio button will not work for changing the .presence property to hidden or visible for a subform.
The workaround is to use a drop-down instead. He is the Javascript I use to display or hide different subforms...
if(this.rawValue == "RoHS"){
RoHSpage1.MfgInfo.presence = "hidden";
RoHSpage1.MfgInfoBlank.presence = "visible";
JIGPage3.JIGBsubform.presence = "hidden";
JIGPage3.JIGsubformBlank.presence = "visible";
}else if(this.rawValue == "RoHSMfg"){
RoHSpage1.MfgInfo.presence = "visible";
RoHSpage1.MfgInfoBlank.presence = "hidden";
JIGPage3.JIGBsubform.presence = "hidden";
JIGPage3.JIGsubformBlank.presence = "visible";
}else if(this.rawValue == "RoHSJIG"){
RoHSpage1.MfgInfo.presence = "hidden";
RoHSpage1.MfgInfoBlank.presence = "visible";
JIGPage3.JIGBsubform.presence = "visible";
JIGPage3.JIGsubformBlank.presence = "hidden";
}else if(this.rawValue == "All"){
RoHSpage1.MfgInfo.presence = "visible";
RoHSpage1.MfgInfoBlank.presence = "hidden";
JIGPage3.JIGBsubform.presence = "visible";
JIGPage3.JIGsubformBlank.presence = "hidden";
I use the same script on the Initialize event for the form as well. You have to do this because Adobe has a 'design limitation'. It won't save the property change when you exit. So when you re-open the form, you have to have the script run again to display or hide the appropriate sections.

Table Overflow - Page Break - Multiple tables in Body page in Adobe forms

Hi,
I have to do a payslip in Adobe forms. I am using only Adobe for print forms.
Please redirect me to correct category if this is wrong category.
I am customizing standard form PYXXFO_SAP_PAYSLIP_IN01. (payslip for india through hrforms)
The standard form is entirely positional. So, if the contents of the table overflow, they are overwritten on the contents below.
So, I have to make corrections to adjust the payslip for table overflows.
My changes:
1. There are total 8 tables in form. I created content areas for each of them and assigned the subforms/tables to those content areas.
2. I converted the body page from positional to flowed, and applied the related pagebreak settings.
The problem I am facing:
When the earnings table overflows, the rest of the content is displayed on second page, in a continuous manner.
eg.
The structure of the form is:
Header details
earnings table   deductions table   form16 table
Other tables
leave details
now, if the earnings table overflows -
page 1:
Header details
earnings table (page break)
Page2:
(continued)earnings table
page3:
(continued)earnings table   deductions table   form16 table
Other tables
leave details
In this, the deduction table and form16 table is shown on 3rd page. I wish to show them on the first page as they have not overflown.
I am sure, I am missing something very small, but I am unable to understand what.
I tried all the possible combinations.
Does the main subform needs to be "positional"?
They way I expect it is:
page 1:
Header details
earnings table (page break)    deductions table   form16 table
Other tables
leave details
Page2:
{Header details - It would be great if I could have this}
(continued)earnings table
page3:
{Header details}
(continued)earnings table
Also, If this is successful, I would like to apply the same feature to rest 6-7 tables.

This was a duplicate question.
Kindly remove this thread if possible.
The solution for this thread is as follows:
I was sort of hoping that there should be some standard functionality available for this, it being Adobe, but there is not.
So, I had to run a work around. Quite a lengthy one.
What the problem was:
I needed to print around 4-5 tables adjacent to each other in single page and in verticals. What Adobe does is: it fills 1st table, then 2nd then 3rd and so on. So, if there is a page break due to large entries in the adobe, the contents breaks with rest of the tables being blank, but the content being filled sequentially.
What I did was:
I created a grand table with the structure having all the tables embedded in it. eg.
data: begin of grand_table occrs 0,
table_A type table_a_table_type,
table_B type table_b_table_type,
table_c type table_c_table_type,
end of grand_table.
Hence, I could include all the data in a one single grand table, and put the data in sequential manner.

Header and Footer in not displaying correctly on each page in Adobe Forms

Hi experts,
   I need your little help on Adobe Form. I have develop a customer account statement and facing problem.
     In header and footer part I have to display customer address. It is ok if data is of one page. But when data is overflowing, customer address is showing only at first page in header, and not displaying address neither in header nor in footer(footer section will print on last page, it may be either first page or third page ) on other pages. (Address is table type data )
       Header and footer Section address has been designed on Master Page.
Please help me to resolve these two problems as soon as possible.
Regards
Piyush

I found this post which I hope helps:
This can be done by bit of tweaking using JavaScript.
Actually the problem was, the header was printing continuously in subsequent pages and once the header data was over the rest of the pages contained blank header. But we need have to print same header for each group of items till that group of items finish in the specific page. And for new group of items different header will be filled and so on.
So to overcome this issue, create the item table in such a way that the header data is also included in the item table for each group of items. In the layout, select your header field and the event READY LAYOUT and write the below JavaScript code. This event is called for each page for that header field, so you can directly map the item table value and put it in your header field.
// Get the current page
var currpage = xfa.layout.page(this);
// variable to store number of fields in that page.
var fields = 0;
// Get the number of fields
        fields = xfa.layout.pageContent(currpage-1, "field", 0);
// Loop on each field on the page
        for ( i=0; i<= fields.length-1; i++ )
// Check if the field is in the item table column (it will be actually header data column in your item table)
            if ( fields.item(i).name == "TL" )
// Fetch that value and store in your header field.
                       this.rawValue = fields.item(i).rawValue;

Issue in printing second page in smart form

in my smart form i have only FIRST page in tht i have pur order numberwindow, date window and all the item details in mainwindow. my problem is in my page 1 order number and date are getting printed at the exact position whre i want but when it is coming to the next page that is page 2 order number and date are going out of scope. I cant even change the position of those two windows as it is getting printed properly on 1st page.

Copy the first page and paste so as to create a second page, now give next page as this second page, and check, if there is any layout issue then make changes in this page, be careful as if you make any any changes, such as deleting some table or template or window in the copied [page it will get deleted in first page to, so only make changes to layout.

Problem with next page in Adobe Form

Hi all .
I only start work with Adobe Forms so I need your help .
My form includes table .
My problem : only the first page with data is displayed and I don't see the rest of data .
What I need to define in SFP (program ? ) for get all my data printed ?
Regards Helena .

Hello
That is a well known bug/ feature. In SFP transaction use the tab Layout instead of the button layout. The form will be opened. Open the Font/ paragraph window, place it where you want (between the other palletes so you can see everything you need) and jump back to SFP/ close the form. Now you can open the full-screen layout using the button and the font window will work for you. Regards Otto

Balance carry forward at end of page in adobe forms

Hello all,
I am new to adobe forms.
I have a table with data with amount column. when the content of the table flows to next page i need to get balance carry forward and page to total and same at next page top as below
I got to know we need to write script to get this but I don't know script in adobe form.
So kindly help me.
Regards
ujwal

Hi Ujwal,
You're script could be handled something like this:
if(xfa.layout.pageCount() > 1){
var page = xfa.layout.page(this) - 1;
var fields = xfa.layout.pageContent(page, "field");
var total = 0;
for(var i = 0; i < fields.length; i++)
var item = fields.item(i);
if(item.name == "CARRYFORWARD")
total = total + item.rawValue;
this.rawValue = total;
I'm not sure what your technical name for the carry forward value is so I made one up in the sample. Also, I have used this in one form but at line 02 I had to use -2 instead of -1 for my form even though the scripting help gives -1 as an example. This will simply check if there is more than one page and if so then it will look back at the previous page to get the value of any field named CARRYFORWARD.

Ryan Crosby

Repeating subform on each page in Adobe Forms

Hello all,
I created an Adobe Form, where the body is splitted in subforms (all flowed).
But now, I want that the first subform must be showed on each page on the Adobe Form. A masterpage cannot be used, because soms field have no data and are not showed on the PDF.
Does anyone know how the first subform of the body can repeat on each page?
Kind regards,
Pieter

Florian,
I already tried in Javascript for initialize and from.ready methods..
Now, I tested in Formcalc but the output is the same.
Page 1:
On the next pages:
So, on all the next pages a white space still appears..
Kind regards,
Pieter
