  • How to read data fra adobe interactive pdf form into WDA context?

    Hi,
    I have a pdf form which is pre filled with some data and then the user has the opportunity to add some data to the pdf form.
    I want to retrieve this data into my context without having to add a button into the pdf form which will send back data to WDA. Currently i am using pdfSource but it is not updating the context.
    If needed i can change to use dataSource/templateSource instead of pdfSource.
    Thanks

    I don't think that link will help. The PDF Source isn't updating either on data entry into the form
    The issue here is that the Adobe form does not update the SAP context until you tell it to do so. You really need to trigger an event in the form to cause that update, a button as previously mentioned is one amongst many ways of doing this.

  • How to validate date fields in the flash form

    i want to validate the date fields to make sure the values

  • How to add new fields to the system form (Ex.expenses to a/r invoice form)

    hi
    can any one tell me how to add new fields to the system form (Ex.expenses to a/r invoice form)
    i want to add expenses field to system a/r invoice form and connect data base also.
    i used the code of samples\11.system form manipulation(vb.net) but i'm not able to get it....so can any one help with code or concepts.
    reply soon plz..
    thankQ

    If I understood you correctly, you are just trying to add new fields to the invoice form and then use them in your form. you should first go and add the field to your tables, which you would do by going to Tool --> User Defined Fields --> Manage User Fields. There are different documents or categories given. For ex. for invoices, Sales Orders you would add your field under the Marketing Documents. If you want the field to be just one per invoice, add it to the Title, otherwise if you want a field per invoice or Sales Order line, add it to the Rows section. Once you have done that then you can just create a edit box or drop down to represent the field and set the datasource for that to your field. If you want example code to do that, let me know.

  • Reading data from Print based PDF form

    We have a requirement to send our PDF output for Payslips generated using Adobe forms to a thirdparty for printing. They require a way of knowing the value of certain fields in the PDF as part of the printing/sorting process and also know where each payslip ends (i.e. 1 PDF file with multiple payslips, each payslip can be a variable number of pages).
    Is this type of information still accessible in the PDF by default?
    If not can it be embedded?
    What tools/language APIs can be used to inspect the PDF for this type of data.

    hmmm.. that's a good question and could be handy - they wouldn't have to use some sort of OCR technology.
    you'd probably find a better answer on Adobe's Forum for something this specifically related to the form
    you can find it [here|http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle]
    There are many Livecycle forums - looks like LiveCycle Designer ES is the most used.
    Also, there's a gmail group you can join which is pretty active.

  • How to enable a field on the person form?

    Hello,
    I am working in UK Legislation and I need to enable a greyed out field on the person screen. It's the "Disabled" field (to capture the disability of an employee).
    This might sound an easy thing to do but I couldn't find any function or profile option that controls this. I couldn't find any metalink note on this. Could any one tell me how to do this or let me know of any metalink note on this?
    Many Thanks,
    Baloo

    Both answers were helpful. Thanks a lot.
    In the interest of other users I am pasting the answer below:
    The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA) is the main piece of legislation which makes it unlawful to discriminate against a disabled person in their terms of employment, promotion opportunities, by dismissing them or by subjecting them to any other detriment. This act had been further amended, cumulating in the Disability Discrimination Act 2005 which is related to disability generally and extends outside the area of employment although some provisions will relate to employees.
    Parts of the Act came into force in December 2005, other parts relating for example to transportation are applicable from December 2006. The above provisions replaced the concept of Registered Disabled Persons and
    employment quotas which had been in existence since after the second world war.
    In releasing the enhanced Disabilities functionality, it was intended to facilitate the maintenance of disability records through the Disability form and not the Disabled field on the person form.

  • Delete leading zeros for a field on the pdf form

    Hi,
    i know it is possible to delete leading zeros via abap coding in the interface.
    But is it also possible to this directly on the pdf form - scripting or a setting?
    Thank you
    Kind regards
    Manfred

    I believe you can set this up as a field display pattern (if you use LCD 8.1 or something like that).
    Or you can script that out. In formcalc you can easily process characater by character, test if that is zero and remove it.

  • Master Detail Form - How 2 update a field in the Detail form using a query?

    Hello,
    I have a master detail form with, each master record having a fixed(6) number of detail records. One of the fields in the detail record is the PART_DESCRIPTION field. I am trying to update this field by querying Table_X. TABLE_X is in the format of (desciption id, description). Description id runs from 1 to 6.
    When the form displays, the PART_DESCRIPTION field for the 6 detail records needs to be automatically populated with the six values of description stored in Table_X. How can this be done?
    Tried using session storage objects, but made no headway.
    Would greatly appreciate pointers on how to go about doing this.
    Thanks.
    Dev

    If you are on a Portal Version lesser than 3.0.9.8.3, then please try the following to populate
    the PART_DESCRIPTION field.
    Steps:-
    1> Edit the form and go to the Additional PL/SQl section and put the following code in the
    "...after displaying the page area" :-
    declare
    type t_vc_arr is table of varchar2(4000) index by binary_integer;
    l_arr_desc t_vc_arr;
    l_form_name varchar2(200);
    l_form_state varchar2(500);
    begin
    l_form_name := p_session.get_module().get_name();
    l_form_state := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
    p_block_name => 'MASTER_BLOCK',
    p_attribute_name => '_FORM_STATE'
    if l_form_state = 'QUERY_AND_SAVE' then
    select description
    bulk collect into l_arr_desc
    from <schema>.table_x;
    htp.p('
    <script>
    var descArr = new Array();
    var Fidx = 1;
    var formObj = document.WWVM'||p_session.get_id()||';
    var fieldName = "'||l_form_name||'.DETAIL_BLOCK.PART_DESCRIPTION.0";
    for i in 1..l_arr_desc.count loop
    htp.p('descArr['||to_char(i-1)||']="'||l_arr_desc(i)||'";');
    end loop;
    htp.p('

  • How to read User ID from the request Form and pre populating in the AD User process form before provisioning

    I am trying to read the user Id from the submitted AD User request form( Catalogue AD User form. I need User Id,firstname and lastname inorder to prepopulate the common name as in this format - lastname,firstname (userid)  for the user to be provisioned in Active Directory.
    So after filling the AD User request form with User Id and Organization and submitting the request, I am trying to
    prepopulate the common name in the process form before the provisioning.
    The prepopulate adopter for the common name is configured to read the firstname, lastname and userid. firstname and
    lastname variables are mapped to User definition and user Id is mapped to Process Data. In this setup I am not getting the
    User Id value from process data, it is empty.
    Is this a bug with OIM 11g R2 or I need to do it differently in order to read the user Id that user has entered in the
    request form for populating the common name?
    Thanks

    How to get USER_ID and IP_AddressWhy exactly do you need this data and what do you plan to do with it?
    The data is not reliable and trustworthy. IP addresses can easily be spoofed (a few seconds if you know what to do and how to do it). Also, IP addresses are not static. Users also do not use the same network device to access the database - different devices will have different IP addresses.
    The o/s user on the client is supplied by the client driver. This can also be spoofed.
    The user can also use a virtualised device - which means that recording the IP and o/s user seen from the server side, is pretty much useless and meaningless.
    So if this data is intended to be used for auditing for example - it would be pretty suspect data to use for that purpose.

  • How to read data after using the PRINT function in visual basic

    I know the benchlink can capture the spectrum analyzer screen for me, but I want to integrate it into my application. I use NI spy to detect the communications from the benchlink and put it into my application. After sending the "PRINT 0" command, my "ilrd SpectrumAnalyzer, temp, 500" command doesn't work, giving me EARG error. Does anyone knows if it is because I can not define the temp to be string or some other problem?
    b.t.w, the communications I get from NI Spy actually read some unknown characters from the instrument, what kind of data it is? Any idea how to use it?
    thanks.

    Hello elm,
    This is completely dependent on your instrument; if you are getting the data then you are halfway there. Look in your instrument's programmer's reference manual to see if they mention how the picture is encoded in bytes. There are so many different ways to encode a picture in binary that speculating and guessing would probably never yield the true result. If there is no mention in the manual, contact the instrument manufacturer.
    Sorry I could not be of more help.

  • Multiple users signing the pdf form

    I have date fields in the pdf form in which the signed date is inserted when each user signs the form. Although the Digital Signature property in pdf provides date property on the signature image. But we have a business requirement to show date field separately on pdf form. Suppose User1 signs the application and the date is inserted in its corresponding date field. But when User2 signs the application and the date is inserted the signatures of User1 gets invalidated.
    Is there any way by which pdf field can be made editable even after one user signs the application?

    PDF supports multiple signatures on a single form or document.  When using a form, you can use field collections to associate specific fields to a certain signature and lock those fields after signing, while leaving other fields accessible.  There are many posts throughout this forum that discusss this functionality, here is one...  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/769340
    As for signature status, applying a second signature (or more) after a form or document has been signed will NOT invalidate the original signature, however it will change the status of the original signature to something like "Valid with signed changes".  Each subsequent signature will change the status of the previous signature, but this is not the same as invalidating a signature.
    This behaviour is by design as a signature applied to a PDF signs the entire byte range of the PDF, not just a portion of it.
