How to display Table in Interactive PDF with WD-ABAP

hi All,
I have to display a tablewith 4 rows in Interactive PDF form, and i am using WD ABAP.
These are the steps i have followed.
1. I have created a table line for the required table
2. Dragged the table line from data view to body page.
3. Wrapped the table in subform ,and made it to type "Flowable".
4. Unchecked the check box saying repeat row for each data item for table and for the header row.
Now when i preview it works fine and display 4 rows, but when the same PDF is called through Web Dynpro component, it shows an error that related to SOM Expression of that line type.
Any idea how to get rid of this error..??
If somebody could also let me know if the steps followed to display the table are correct...??
All replies will be appreciated.

Solved it myself, changes the cardinality to 1:N of the context node

How to display table grid in PDF - RH10

I've created a new table style but the grids inside the table aren't showing when I generated a PDF file. I can't seem to find the setup to show the grids from the Styles settings below. I clicked Format > Boarders and Shading but there's no settings to make the grids visible.
Here's the actual PDF result:
I wanted the grids inside to display so the rows and columns have division lines.
Is there a way to resolve this? Thanks in advance.

I don't know why VJ has suggested copying and pasting as it is not necessary. Once you have created a table style you can insert it into other topics directly. VJ's link is to a RoboHelp 8 topic whereas you are using 10 where things are different.
Also adding tables is not your problem. As I understand it you have the tables in your topics, it's just that in PDF the borders are not showing, correct?
First generate to Word and see if the borders appear in the same way as in the topic.

How do I create an interactive PDF file with variable data

We would like to basically do a 'mail merge' of our list of customers with an interactive PDF file (including videos, menus, etc - not just form fill out and web links) to create a single PDF file that contains multiple mail pieces ... one for each customer ... with each mail piece being customized for that customer. Customizations would include different greetings (Dear Bob, Dear Dana, etc), as well as different charts based on data unique to the customer, different photographs, etc.
I've seen that InDesign and Acrobat Professional can be used to create an interactive PDF (such as from http://tv.adobe.com/watch/ask-the-adobe-ones/14-calling-rufus-about-interactive-pdf-making). However I don't understand how I can insert data from a database, csv file, excel file etc into the PDF file so that each page, or each set of pages, within the PDF can be customized.
Can anyone point me to a tool to use for this?
Thanks,
Bob Kendall

For that kind of volume and unattended operation, you want InDesign Server – which is the server/high volume edition of INDD.

Does Safari support a interactive PDF with hidden layers? I'm on version 5.0.3 and the interactive PDF displays just fine, but our web development team tells me all the layers display when they view the same PDF on Safari.

Does Safari support interactive PDFs with layers? Through the use of hidden layers and buttons we built in interactivity that allows the viewers to click on buttons to display different content. When I view the PDF in Safari 5.0.3 on my Mac OS 10.5.8 the PDF displays fine and the interactivity works. However our web design firm tell me the PDF displays all the hidden layers when they view it in Safari. Who's right?

Try updating your Safari to the latest version, 5.0.5.
Also check whether the rest of your system is up to date by going to Software Update in the Apple menu.

Problems with Long Interactive PDFs with Extensive Interactivity via Buttons and Hyperlinks

I have inherited a project which requires the creation of large interactive pdfs with lots of buttons and hyperlinks. I am having continuing problems with buttons not working and long periods of wasted time as attempted exports fail.
Background:
The largest books range from 264 MB to 411 MB – (764 to 1024 pages). Per book, the maximum number of buttons on each page is 16, linking separate files (subsections) in the book via text anchors. The buttons are created using Master Pages which are set for each file (subsection) in the book. 50% to 60% of the pages in each file (subsection) will also be referenced as 2 hyperlinks. One is the source page hyperlink on each workflow and the second is a listing on the source page as a possible navigation path. I have created hyperlink destinations for each page which is used to generate the source and navigation hyperlinks. With 2 hyperlinks representing 50%-60% of the pages - that means the largest book contains a maximum of 1200 hyperlinks. Each file (subsection) also has it’s own separate TOC and the bookmarks that are created (optionally) during the TOC creation process.   As currenlty formatted, the book is primarily images of workflows which mean 50%-60% of the pages contain pdf images.
Several questions:
1. How do I get my buttons to work consistently? There is nothing worse than working hard and then ending up with faulty product. I have been thinking about combining all the files into 1 document per book. Then I could change the buttons to objects, add a hyperlink over each one and set them for a specific hyperlink destination. Can I do that if the buttons are on Master Pages? Can InDesign handle a document with 1024 pages?    I can't fix the problems in Acrobat later because it would mean 1024 fixes for just 1 button correction.
2. How do I stop InDesign from freezing when exporting these large pdfs? It seems to wait until the final steps to crash which sometimes means a 4-6 hour waste of time per export.
3. Are we making a mistake using pdfs as our workflow images? I'm not pleased with the quality of the images we have and wonder if we switched to another image format if this would improve the results.   Would it be worth the effort and relinking? I have been reading different information on what the preferred source image format is for InDesign. One article I found yesterday says using pdf images is a problem. Another site said the Photoshop, TIF and JPG are preferred but PDFs were also acceptable.
4. Do I need to propose scrapping InDesign as the source of the project? If so, what application can better meet my needs?

Those are the limitations you have to put up with.
Apple doesn't follow the PDF spec. It chooses which PDF features it will support.
As to the version number (v5 or v6 or the new multimedia features in v9), there is different support in different versions of Reader/Acrobat as the product has developed. You just need to post a message to downloaders that they need to view the file in Adobe Reader version X or above to get the best experience.
Other industry standards face the same problem: How can you add new feature like multimedia? You can't always be backwards compatible.

How do I create/host interactive articles with embedded video for use in browsers?

I'm seeking a little guidance -
How do I create/host interactive articles with embedded video for use in browsers?
The aim is to bring together video, design, images and writing in one place. A little like Born Presents, but very accessible and user friendly.
I'm happy using InDesign but want to create interactive articles / magazines that have embeded video files as required. I've been looking at .SWF files but I've come unstuck.
I want people to view the articles via a blog, ideally with them opening in a lightbox style viewer. It's not intended for tablet viewing and people should be able to view and interact with the files with little effort on their part.
I think I know how to create these files within InDesign, but I'm not so hot on web design and I'm not sure how to host these online. Does this start coming into the realms of Flash?
If anyone could point in the right direction I'd really appreciate it - Thank you in advance.

PDF is one thing. Folios for DPS is another. There is a little bit of
overlap but not much.
The interactivity in the folio overlays panel is for DPS only.

Interactive PDF with page curl

HI there
I am trying to create an interactive pdf with page curl from a book created in indesign CS5 that has multiple chapters. I found out how to do it with one file, however in the export menu for the book there is only the option to export it as a pdf or an epub file. No swf...
thanks

I suppose you are talking about a work-around method where you export your actual layout as SWF and then place that SWF-file back to InDesign and export that as Interactive PDF?
Unfortunately you can use that method properly with 1SWF/1PDF combination only (as you have noticed). And there is no easy way to export multiple indd-files to one SWF.
Your only option is to combine your indd-documents to one indd manually. I think Move Pages tool in Pages panel´s menu is the best tool for that but prepare yourself to face problems with styles, master pages, pagesizes, preferences etc
If I were you, I´d try to find some other way to produce you eMagazine....

Interactive PDFs with Bleeds

I recently upgraded to InDesign CS5, and I am trying to create an interactive PDF with bleeds. Does anyone know how to do this? It seems like I have the option to either make a print PDF with bleeds or an Interactive PDF without bleeds, but I can't combine them. My e-commerce site requires that I upload a print-ready file with buttons for creating templates. I could create the buttons in Acrobat, but that's a lot of extra work, and I would be going backwards since I used to be able to do this in CS3 and CS4. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

They definitely are different, in the interactive one you can specify the view and layout settings of the PDF which is great, it should have been added ages ago, but you still can't tell it to open the bookmarks panel with it, or pages or layers, you have to do this in Acrobat still which is a pain. And in the standard PDF export you can now either not include Interactive elements or include appearance only.
It seems stupid to me to split the functionality of the PDF export into two different types. If they want to have a dumbed down interactive one; fine, but why take functionality out of the main PDF export dialog?

How to create table in interactive form via Java Web Dynpro

Hi,
How to create table in interactive form via Java Web Dynpro ?
Any online tutorial / example ?
Thank you.
Regards,
Eric

Hi Eric,
Just choose the UI element Table from Form Library and drag and drop it on the form. now choose the no. of rows and columns and other settings you want about table from the wizard initiated through this process. This all is what you have to do to create the table. Now to bind it to the fields of the data source bind the individual colums to individual attributes of the node in the datasource.
Hope it will solve your query.

Making an interactive pdf with animations and a video?

Hi Everyone,
I'm working in InDesign CS6 and I've made a interactive pdf with swf animations, exported it to an interactive pdf and everything works great from the little animations to the page curl. Now, I would like to put a video in on one of the pages.
I've placed it as a .mov and a .mp4, exported as a .swf. It works great in the swf and the html file. It even works great when I export the video page as a interactive pdf by itself.
BUT, when I export all the pages in my doc (with the animations and the video) as a swf, then RE-import into ID, to export as a interactive pdf... the pdf only gives me a static window. ALL the other animations and page curls work though.
So there's a disconnect between the video and going from a swf to a interactive pdf.
Can anyone tell me what step I'm missing or if this just isn't possible yet?!
Thanks so much!!!

Without seeing actual file, it´s hard to say what´s going on... but have you chekced that Flash Player in Acrobat finds your video? When you export SWF from InDesign, videos or any other placed rich media files are not embedded into the SWF. InDesign creates a resources folder next to SWF and stores those media assets into that folder. If you don´t have that folder same place with exported SWF, you will have problems.
If you place your video file into your layout and export as PDF, there shouldn´t be any problems. But if you place your video file into your layout, export as SWF, place that SWF back to InDesign and then export as PDF... then you will lose the connection between resulting PDF and resources InDesign created.
One way to solve that is to use public URL for placing videos. Thwn you won´t need actual video file stored locally. Downside is that Acrobat/Reader may throw an alert about that.
Another way is to open your Interactive PDF to Acrobat, select placed SWF and embedd resources folder into PDF manually.

Creating interactive PDFs with page turn,issue with PDF

I recently watch a video on adobe tv titled "indesign : creating interactive PDFs with page turn and flash animation". The video was great,simple to follow with great results, I was able to create a document with interactive page turns that was viewable in a web browser,the next step was to then create the same document but be able to view it in PDF format. I followed the above mentioned video and everything worked apart from one issue once I exported the indesign file out as an interactive PDF it opened up in adobe acrobat pro with no problem but when I went to turn the page it would lag and slow down to the point were it was almost impossible to turn the page, the page turning didn't seem to flow as well as when viewing it in a web browser. The document I am creating is a catalogue and I am happy with the interactive version for the web but I am looking at putting the catalogue on a CD/ USB and need it to open and work with PDF, it would be a great help if anyone could advise me on the reason why the interactive page turning runs so poor in PDF format. I am currently running on a very powerful computer with the adobe CS5 master suit.
Any help would be much appreciated

The page flipping is an SWF effect, so essentially you now have an entire SWF embedded inside a PDF.
If you forget about this garish effect (which, I can guarantee you, by next year will be "so 2012") you can send out a standard PDF which can be easily viewed on otherwise sub-standard computers, and using very straightforward PDF readers, such as the ones currently available for the iPad and its clones.

Take a look at this to see if the solution provided would work for you: https://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/multi_column_row_woes
Won't you have more than 10 records in your data file ? If you are going to have only 10 items then you may be able to use position() function to limit it to 3 each..
