How to do an interactive form with tables

I've been asked to recreate an interactive form that was created using several tables. The tables are made up of cells that contain labels of what information is required, followed by blank cells where the user can put the information (text fields). A few of the cells are to contain drop down menus that will contain a list of answers to choose from (combo boxes). I kind of like the idea of doing it in a table just because it keeps everything lined up automatically.
I am a Lynda.com subscriber, and I found a course on that site that shows how to create interactive forms with InDesign, but it just breezes past doing it with tables. It says you can do it, but doesn't show how. The problem is, one table can contain all three types of cells that I plan to use. I can select the whole table and then choose "Type" in the Buttons and Forms panel, but I would think that would turn the whole table into just one type of field. I can't seem to figure out how to select individual cells of the table to choose different types.
Is there a way to do that?

This is work around
1- Draw a rectangle frame, and without release mouse use up and right arrow key to define rows and columns count and use Ctrld+ down arrow key to reduce space between rows and Ctrl+left arrow key to reduce space between column.
2- Covert frames to Buttons.

  • How to use Adobe Interactive forms with ISR frame work in Webdynpro forJava

    Hi,
    Anybody worked on Adobe Interactive forms with ISR frame work in Webdynpro for Java in ESS/MSS development.
    We have already searched in ISR_Cookbook_2004, however we didn't anything related webdynpro for java in that.
    Any information regarding this will be of great help.

    There are a number of issues here. A form that you created with LiveCycle Designer (XFA) cannot be used with FormsCentral. An Acroform, the kind you can create with Acrobat, can be used with FormsCentral, with certain limitations,  one of which is skip logic. A dynamic XFA form allows for this type of thing, but as mentioned, they don't work with FormsCentral. You can set up an Acroform to show/hide or activate/inactivate fields based on selections or entries made in other fields, but you'd have to set this up in Acrobat, not FormsCentral. So you can set up something roughly equivalent to a web form's skip logic, but you'd have to learn how to do this in Acrobat using JavaScript. There is a separate Acrobat JavaScript forum here if you have any questions.

  • How to bind the interactive form with a header/detail table.

    Hi there,
    I'm having problem to bind the adobe form with my detail table.

    Is the cardinality on the context correct?  Have you tried displaying this same context using a web dynpro table instead?

    What SP level is your NetWeaver system?  I've seen at least two other threads describing the same problem in the last few days.  I can not recreate the problem on my SP15 system, but I suspect since several people are having the same problem that there is a bug in the runtime at some SP level. I suggest that you enter a support ticket and/or search OSS for possible notes.

  • Interactive Form with ABAP DDIC Interface

    Hi,
    I'm new on adobe interactive forms and  I have some problems. I have a form with a abap dictionary based interface.
    When I test my web dynpro application with the interactive form, it is not interactive. :-P
    And yes the property "enabled" of the UI-Element is marked.
    First I watched an e-Learning an build a web dynpro application with a from which has a interface based on xml.
    I generated the inteface of the form from my context. It works fine.
    But with a interface based on xml I dont't know how I can get a table on my PDF in the Adobe Lifecycle Designer.
    So I searched snd n the forum and found a tutorial (InteractiveForm_and_Dynamic_Tables). Like in this tutorial I created a interface based on ABAP Dictionary and a form with a table. Then I choose this form on my UI-Element as templateSource and generate the context from the interface. But as i mentioned above, now the PDF isn't interactive.
    Any idea?
    Thx Florian
    PS: when someone can tell/help me in german it would be much easier for me to understand...

    You can create Interactive form with ABAP dictionay based interface.  You need to add following code in method "WDDOMODIFYVIEW" of your view.
       DATA: LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM  TYPE REF TO CL_WD_INTERACTIVE_FORM,
          LR_METHOD_HANDLER    TYPE REF TO IF_WD_IACTIVE_FORM_METHOD_HNDL.
      CHECK FIRST_TIME = ABAP_TRUE.
      LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM ?= VIEW->GET_ELEMENT( 'TEST' ).
      LR_METHOD_HANDLER ?= LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM->_METHOD_HANDLER.
      LR_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_LEGACY_EDITING_ENABLED( ABAP_TRUE ).

  • How to create Adobe Interactive Form in MDM

    Iam new to MDM Technology, I want to create Adobe Interactive Form and show a sample demo.
    Sample demo which should show adobe interactive form in mdm and how to integrate adobe interactive form in mdm and how to update th data in MDM
    I have knowledge of creation of adobe form but how to integrate with mdm technology.

    Hi,
    There are couple of ways to integrate MDM with SAP Interactive Forms.
    1. WebDynpro Java and MDM API (requires Portal)
    2. MDM WebService (Portal not required)
    Updating data in MDM using WebDynpro Java :
    1. In Component Controller -> Fetch data from MDM using API and populate appropriate context structure
    2. Map the View Controller and Comp Controller context.
    3. Place Interactive Form UI element in view.(Keep the UI element in UpdatePDF mode, this can be done in properties window. Also increase the height and width property value)
    4. The Interactive Form UI element is editable in Adobe Form Designer (7.1 / 8.0)
    5. Design the form and bind the UI (TextFields/ Dropdowns) with the Context of View Controller.(Done in Binding tab of Object window)
    6. Deploy and run the application.
    The rendered application will contain an Adobe Interactive Form populated with MDM data.

  • Interactive Form - Dynamic Table - OVS

    Hi,
    I have an interactive form with dynamic table. I have few other fields which are not part of the table, but do participate in Object Value Selection. The table fields are bound to context variables. I am able to add more rows to the table. However, the moment I use OVS on the other fields, my table rows are getting lost.
    I tried with both "Generate PDF" and "Update PDF" mode. Both have the same behaviour. Why are my table rows getting lost when I am using OVS?
    Any idea?
    Thanks
    Ram

    Hi,
    Select the InputField1 and goto Script Editor and select the Event type: "Change" and Language as "FormCalc" and in editor write the below code:
    InputField2.rawValue = Num2Date(IsoDate2Num($.rawValue)+7,"DD/MM/YYYY")
    Based on your requirement change the display pattern of both the date fields in the object pallette.
    Note: Make both the fields as Date/Time Fields and not TextFields.

  • Prefill interactive form with data upon displaying out

    Hi,
    Let's say if i have a web dynpro application, with a view containing an interactive form. I would like to prefill the interactive form with data by calling a webservice or thru RFC before it display the form out. So that when the form is first displayed out, it is already prefilled with data. Is this possible?
    Is there any guide out there which is similar to this scenario?
    Btw, currently i only managed to consume the webservice and prefill the form with data after clicking a button which will execute the webservice.

  • F4 Value Help on Adobe Interactive Form with Web Dynpro ABAP

    Hello,
    I have created an Interactive Form with ZCI type.
    I placed a text field MATNR on the form.
    Then I placed a Native WD UI element 'Value Help' as mentioned in the below link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/42/fb2fe500553ee4e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
    This form was then embeded into Web Dynpro ABAP view.
    The problem is that when I click on the F4 button, nothing happens.
    Is anything else needs to be done?
    Thanks

    Hi Amol,
    After binding the Context variable in the view, and in the Adobe Layout Designer from the Library go to WebDynpro Native Tab and drag and drop the Value Help and for this automatically JavaScript is being generated, go that script and edit the line
    Var fieldname = "yourfieldname";
    Note: Don't forget to link the context attribute to search help. ie. in the context properties of the attributes select the input help mode as dictionary search help and specify the name of the search help present in data dictionary.
    And now go to Utilities and click on u201CInsert Web Dynpro Scriptu201D.
    Also make sure that you specify the Layout as ZCI Layout in the Propertioes of the Adobe Form.
    Ragards,
    Amol Patil.
