How can I embed an DOCTYPE HTML Form from Adobe Forms central into a responsive html5 page?

How can I embed an DOCTYPE HTML Form from Adobe Forms central into a responsive html5 page?
-Luis

Hi,
You can embed the form on your website, but you need to make sure that javascript has been enabled in the browser. You need to copy the embed code and add it into your HTML code. If you would like FormsCentral to generate embeded HTML form without using javascript, you may post a feature request and vote it. Hope it helps! Thanks!

Update SAP from Adobe forms

Hi all,
I use BAPI with web service to update several line items (e.g. of a PO) from a table in Adobe forms to SAP. I expect that all the occurrences of the line items to be transferred to the func mod. via the defined table interface, but only the last line got transferred and the others seem to be overwritten. I have tried adobe fixed and dynamic tables but that did not change the outcome (In another application, I'm able to display all line items from func. mod. to Adobe form). Question : What do I need to do to have ALL the line items transferred from Adobe form to the func. mod. ?
Components used : Designer 7, SAP ECC 6 level 9 .
Please, provide help with concrete and proven information only.
Best regards,
Nancy

Hi Vaibhav,
Thanks for the reply. I use table and not structure but somehow all the records did not get transferred. So far i've been able to get the data to and from SAP without web dynpro and hope to be able to get this scenario to work as well.

How to improve the performance of adobe forms

Hi,
Please give me some suggestions as to how to improve the performance of adobe form?
Right now when I' am doing user events it is working fine for first 6 or 7 user events. From the next
one it is hanging.
I read about Wizard form design approach, how to use the same here.
Thanks,
Aravind

Hi Otto,
The form is created using HCM forms and processes. I' am performing user events in the form.
User events will doa round trip, in which form data will be sent to backend SAP system. Processing will
happen on the ABAP side and result will appear on the form. First 6 or 7 user events works correctly,
the result is appearing on the form. Around 8 or 9th one, the wait symbol appears and the form is not
re-rendered. The form is of size 6 pages. The issue is not coming with form of size 1 page.
I was reading ways to improve performance during re-rendering given below.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/DynamicInteractiveFormPerformance.pdf
It talks about wizard form design approach. But in SFP transaction, I am not seeing any kind of wizard.
Let me know if you need further details.
Thanks,
Aravind

How can I pass data from a form guide to another form in a business process

How do we pass data from a form guide to another form(not necessarily a guide) without having to open the form. For example we have a small form guide to capture the contract id so we can then get data from contracts table to present to the user in a form. We want the user to open the guide (either Flex guide or form guide) to enter the contract id. Upon submission we want the process to get the contract data and put it into the form that will be opened at the next step by the user without having a user interact with the form to get the data into it. In other words we need the process to get the data and populate a different form than the form guide the contract id was entered in and this new form needs to be opened in the next step by the user.

Firstly, I'm assuming that you have a Forms ES Server if you are rendering a Guide. This could be either version ES1, ES2/2.5 or ES3/ADEP
If you submit the form back to the server, you can populate a second (PDF/XDP) form with the data bound to the same schema/Data Model using Forms ES.
You referred to the next user in the chain - If you are using Process Management, this is very easy, as you define what form is used to render the data in the "Presentation & Data" section of the Assign Task activity

I 'm able to call a normal web service, I got the "Interactive Forms and Web Service Integration" tutorial. The problem is when the button who calls the XI WS, there is an error: Error when trying to access the file:..............

How to print page numbers in adobe form

Hi,
Can anybody tell me how to print page numbers in adobe form.
Thanks in advance
Chaitanya

Hi,
Yes the field page n of m is used normally for printing page numbers. But it won't display the current page of total pages by itself. You have to set the run time property to n (current page ) and m (Total number of pages). Carefully select the # (current page ) and ## (Total number of pages). Hope this works for you.
My requirement is to have the user control on current page. For Example:
Example for a Invoice with 5 PO items (stands on 2 pages) :
1st page is the letter : no page number
2nd page is the 1st page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
3rd page is the 2nd page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
4th page is the 1st page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
5th page is the 2nd page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
Presently i cam getting the current page number for page 4th as 3 / 2 and for 5th page 4 / 2. I could able to control the total number of pages from print program. But when i am printing the second copy (4th and 5th pages), I couldn't able to control the current page number. I need to initialize the Current page count (4th page ) as 1.
I have used the follwing java scripting:
this.rawValue = wv_pages - xfa.layout.page(this)
where wv_pages is total no of pages calculated from print program.
Please help me in this regard with some formcal or java scripting conditions.
Thank You,
Regards,
Naresh.

How do I delete documents from Adobe Reader?

I frequently edit bulletins and such for church, that I then no longer need to have taking up space on my computer. How do I delete them from Adobe Reader?

Reader does not contain files, it only opens them. You need to find where the files are located on your computer, browse to that folder (via My Computer), select them and press Delete, just like with any other file-type.

How to print a signature in Adobe form using PCL - HELP!

Hello,
I'm using Adobe LiveCycle and I'm trying to get my form to print a signature at the bottom right on the given signature line. Our HP LaserJet printer has a SIMM installed which contains the signature in digitized form. I need to issue a hexadecimal instruction using PCL which contains the code that tells the printer to print the stored signature. I know this is doable in SAPscript, but is it doable in Adobe???
Thank you,
Eileen

Hi Eileen,
I think it is handled differently in Adobe forms as here all the print data is created by ADS.
See the document Digital Signature Setup at:
www.service.sap.com/hrin -> Media Center -> Key Documents
This decribes the process.
The link below and SAP Note 1168740 also contain information.

Staging area different from target

I am using oracle 10g as target database. I want to upload a flat data file into oracle table.
I uploaded sucessfully using LKM Oracle (SQL Loader) in Interface. In this case i am using oracle database as a staging area. So all load transferred to my database at the timing of processing.
I want to create staging area at my file server. So please help me out to resolve this problem.

A staging area must accept SQL syntax.
A File server won't accept SQL syntax.
So if you speak about Physical Server where you got your file and if there is a RDBMS installed in maybe but else I don't really know how you can...
You can specify another data server for your staging area or use the SUNOPSIS_MEMORY_ENGINE which use the cache I think but it's not optimized I think...
For this in the Definition Tab of your Interface choose Staging Area different from the Target and then select in the list box SUNOPSIS_MEMORY_ENGINE.

Staging area different from target - which KM???

Hi,
I need to transfer data from CSV to DB (only new inserts operation)
I am working the following KM's
LKM File to SQL
IKM SQL Control Append
It's working fine. However now i need to keep the staging area (where C$, I$ etc table are created) in a separate schema.
I have created a diff schema for staging area and selected in the interface "Staging area different from target"
However not sure of which KM's to use.
Please let me know how to achieve this.
Thanks,
Rosh

Hi
1st thing you have to give the workschema for temp tables when creating physical schema in dataserver for target.
Then you have to select the workschema in overview of interface as "staging different from target".
After doing this when you will use predefined KM for the interface it will create temp tables in workschema.
Now suppose you are not giving the workschma at the time of creating physical schema and you have selected "staging different than target" in interface.Here your C$ table will be created in your workschema but I$ table that is used by IKM is going to be created on target schema.So for this again you have change the IKM KM i.e. where to create I$ table (wokrschema) by selecting the corresponding logical schema.
So its better you give the workschema at the time of creating physical schema.
Here is the query to give privilege by the sys_dba
Grant create any table to ODI_TEMP.
Hope you got it
(Please mark the answer as correct or helpful and close the thread)
Thanks

Connecting SQL server from Adobe forms

Hi Experts,
I want to know, whether it is possible to connect SQL Server database from Adobe Form directly at runtime without WAS/ADS. If it is possible, please provide any material to proceed further.
Please help.
Thanks,

Have a look at the following document, it explains how to use a MS Access database but it should also work when using a ODBC Data source configured for a MS SQL database.
