Hyperlink in adobe form

Hi,
I want to create hyperlink on the form. I am using ALD 8.1.6. So I dont see the insert hyperlink option on the menu bar. I think we have to do it through Javascript. If anyone know, please let me know the procedure.
Thanks
GJ

In adobe form if you want to have one link which opens another link or pdf file.
Then below mention procedure can help you in simple manner.
A hyperlink (or link) is a word, group of words, or image that you can click on to jump to another document.
When you move the cursor over a link in a Web page, the arrow will turn into a little hand.
Now follow the procedure.
Go to palettes choose-> script editor
Now click on the hierarchy->body page
Write code:
<a href="url">Link text</a>
Example
<a href="http://scn.sap.com/">Visit SAP</a>
This will display like this: visit SAP
Clicking on this hyperlink will send the user to Visit SAP homepage.
Tip: The "Link text" doesn't have to be text. It can be an image or any other HTML element.
In layout create one text and provide text name (link text).
Save and activate. Now execute the adobe form.

Hyperlinks in Interactive ADOBE Forms

Dear experts,
I have a scenario of INTERACTIVE ADOBE FORM in ABAP WEBDYNPRO wherein Attachments have to be stored for a given form and these forms would be archived in a shared folder after a complete workflow lifecycle .
Initially, we implemented the handling of attachments using the 'ATTACHMENT' tab in the ADOBE form itself and storing these attachments as xStrings in GOS. This worked really well until recently where the attachment sizes increased from a few KB to many MBs . The form processing got extremely slow leading to unacceptable performance.
This called for the approach of using hyperlinks to attachments on a network folder to be added to the form by the users while data entry itself.
I am unaware as to how can we open a text field to accept hyperlinks which can then be stored ina backend table, so that they can be fetched and updated in the form at a later stage during the subsequent workflow steps?
Any inputs on this would be of gret help..
I searched the forum for queries but none were really helpful. Please help me out with this issue..
Regards,
Amith

Hello experts,
I am using Livecycle designer version 8.0 and do not have the 'Launch URL' UI element. So I have to resort to using a text field and a button with a script to launch the URL. Something like
xfa.host.gotoURL(url.rawValue, true);
This works for a web URL but this is not opening any network shared folders. Is there any way to achieve this?
Secondly, I want it to open in a new window and not in the same browser window/tab that the form is in.
Any inputs on this would be really helpful.
Kind Regards,
Amith

Can you add Hyperlinks in Adobe LiveCycle Designer

Hi,
Does anyone know if you are able to add hyperlinks to the form which would allow me to jump to another separate pdf file?
Thanks in advance,
Trev C.

Hi,
Paul has some solutions for this.
The following tread has two solutions:
(1) set up invisible objects (like textfields) throughout the form and then script setFocus to those fields.
(2) If using LC 8.1 you can add hyperlinks.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1915856#1915856
There are some good posts to the forum; try searching specifically the LC Designer ES forum for "hyperlink".
Sorry, just reread your question. In relation to opening other PDF files from within a form, you are going to come up against a security error. This will require you to have a JavaScript (.js file) in the JavaScript folder within the Acrobat programme folder. This .js file will also have to be deployed to all users' computers.
The last post in this thread has a solution: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1359932#1359932
I am not sure if this would suit your requirements, but another solution is to create a Portfolio with the required PDF files inside the portfolio. Then it is easy to create a link between the files using the "Link Tool".
Good luck,
Niall

Problems!: calculated fields in Adobe Forms using the ISR/PCR framework.

Hi there,
I have made an Adobe form in the ISR framework. Everybody who is familiar with these forms in the framework knows that the adobe form is embedded in a standard webdynpro which consist of a roadmap with three steps.
Step 1: Fill out the form
Step 2: Check and fill the form
Step 3: Submit the form. After submit the form can be send to a manager or can be directly processed in SAP HR.
Problem 1:
When I test the adobe form and fill in a number in a field and click on next everything goes fine. But when I click on previous step the value which I filled in before is gone and put to 0,00.
Problem 2:
Also another problem is that calculated fields, do not show directly when clicking on next step. When you click on next step and then previous step, then you see the value of the calculated field.
Problem 3:
Also another problem is with the calendar function. When I fill in a date by hand and click on next the BADI behind the form sees 00-00-0000. When I use the calendar function everything goes well.
Who can help me with these 3 problems.
Greetings.

Hi Phil,
Interesting - I have a similar issue. We want to use the Request for Transfer scenario in ERP 2005, but it has not been developed in Adobe forms by SAP yet (it isn't available in 2004 either)! So, we have decided to use the old JSP PCRs instead.
Your issue is probably because you're using the same 2005 iviews to create your PCRs. The 2005 PCR iviews are written in WebDynpro, and appear to assume that each one will be an Adobe form! If you assign the old PCR iviews to your manager (give them the old MSS role under Migrated Content->EP5.0... in the pcd if you have it installed), you will be able to create a PCR with the JSP forms (regardless of the "Entry in Web" setting in QISRSCENARIO).
The next issue is the approval. In 2005, transaction SWFVISU has task TS50000075 configured as Java Webdynpro. You'll need to change that to iView, and specify ID = com.sap.pct.hcm.isrdispatcher.default. I'm following the UWL item type guide for this at:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/b1/cc1357eead454bb144face4a66be7d/content.htm
Having said this, my approval is not working! The item type has clearly changed, because the workitem name is no longer a hyperlink (rather annoying), but when I hit the "Launch Task Page" button (default name I think) I get the error:
"Unable to perform action because the system returned an invalid URL"
I can't see this "invalid url" anywhere in the logs, so I can't see where it is getting it from, or what path, etc I'm meant to put! In your old system, what did you have as the "Server for ISR call" under "Additional Data for Scenario" in QISRSCENARIO? Also, what did you have in the "URL" box that appears under the Additional Data for Scenario button when you change the Entry Type to JSP?
Many thanks,
Russell.

Triggering an SAP Transaction from Adobe Form

Hi all,
i wanna know if i can Trigger an SAP Transaction from an Adobe Form...
so that i can open the transaction like MM01, or VA01.
THx,
Guru

Hi Graham!
I have a similar problem in transaction CIC0 and the Sales summary tab in CRM.
I have created a new class and assigned it to a new fact sheet. One column in this fact sheet should be a hyperlink defined in the way that you have described.
When using method get_event_parameter I are not getting any data for the SAPEVENT parameters - I don't get the value, only the keys:
<a href="SAPEVENT:?OBJTYPE&OBJKEY>
How should I procced to assign an object type and object key to this SAPEVENT???
Would also be very nice if anyone could explain how to "call transaction" works.
Help understanding this would be very appreciated.

Paste Hyperlink into Adobe Acrobat to Read SEC Edgar Filings [iOS]

In using an iPad, is there a way to paste a hyperlink into Adobe Acrobat Reader that will open a document and allow all the features of Reader to be utilized?

Hi Dennis,
You cannot paste a hyperlink into the Adobe Reader/Acrobat DC for iOS app. But I think I understand what you want to happen.
When you tap the hyperlink (to a PDF document) in a email message or web page on your iPad, the PDF document will be opened it in Safari. You can use the iOS "Open In' feature to open it in Adobe Reader/Acrobat DC for iOS.
Please see the Safari section of the following FAQ document to see how to use "Open In".
How to open PDF documents in Adobe Reader (iPad on iOS 7 or 8 version)
Once the PDF document is opened in Adobe Reader/Acrobat DC for iOS, you can add annotations (e.g. Sticky Notes, Highlight, Freehand Drawing), fill in (if it's a PDF form), print, and perform other operations.
Please let us know if it works for you. Thank you.

Error when starting Adobe Form

I have an Adobe Form which works Ok in the development SAP Portal, but that, when I log in the production portal gives the following error:
Error when reinitializing the form (I guess, it's Error al reinicializar el formulario, in Spanish)
I think maybe there is something missing to transport, or some misconfiguration, but I haven't been able so far to find it...
Can someone give me a hand?
Thank you in advance,
S.

Hi,
Can you tell me when does the error message comes? Does it comes when you are trying to open the Form or when you are trying to execute it.
Please check if it is still working in the development box?

How many people can use Adobe Forms per license/how many computers can we download software to?

Adobe FormsCentral is a web-based app so there is nothing to download - you access from the web browser.
Each users who creates forms needs a license of FormsCentral. In a month or so you'll be able to by a team pack (5,10,25) at reduces prices for a larger group who wants to create forms.

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.

Error in Simple Adobe Form

Hi ,
I have gone through this below PDF
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e0401535-f81c-2a10-0192- ffd41e8e8d59
It is Simple Adobe Form with two fields(Firstname and Last name ) not table. I am getting UI Interactive form but not getting PDF. I am using NWDS 7.0.15 and Adobe Live Cycle Designer 7.1.
Please help me out.
Thanks
Risha

Hi Risha,
In NWDS Web Dynpro perspective, when you create a project, you will be able to create an InteractiveForm UI Element in any view. You need to set the 'datasource' property to some context node with attributes. You open the Adobe Designer for this InteractiveForm UI Element by choosing the context menu option 'Edit'. You can create some form elemnts for it by dragging the attributes of the binded datasource node from 'Data View' to the form preview area. When you build, deploy & run your application after this, you get this form in the browser. You can now save this form as pdf.
You can refer to https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/user-interface-technology/wd%20java/7.0/adobe/how%20to%20handle%20table%20input%20and%20output.pdf (Using Table in Adobe Form)
Hope this helps you.

Error while executing adobe form

Hi All,
I am working on an adobe form in development system everything is working perfectly, But the form is giving an exception ()when executed in quality system .I did remote comparison of both layout and interface and there are no changes.
What i observed is when i execute the form in SFP in dev system it is creating an FM , But in quality system execution of form in SFP is giving me error saying "Error in include information for function module /1BCDW/0000000007" and when i try to check this FM in SE37 it says it does not exist.
Please let me know if anyone has faced similar issue before and if you have found the solution.
Regards,
Anjana Rao

Hi friend,
Its simple.
The same problem exists in Smart forms also.
What you need to do is you need to give the Adobe form name to the function module "FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME".
It will return you a name just you need to substitute that in the form call.
Because for each and every system the function module number generated for the Adobe form differs.
Just see the link below its for smart form, just adapt the same for Adobe forms, see my post and use the above function module instead of the one in the link [Smartform error|http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2127306&messageID=11037853#11037853]
Do this it will solve your problem.
If any queries please revert back to me i will help you.
Thanks,
Sri Hari
