Inserting bullet points within Interactive adobe forms

Hi,
I would like to know if it would be possible to include "Bullets & Numbering" within Interactive adobe forms similar to MS word. Please kindly let me know.
thanks
anantharam

Hi Anantharam,
If you want to place bullets that will remain static, say U need to put certain notes on the form using the bullets preceding them,
Yes this can be done, but a little tricky, just write the stuff in a word document with bullets, just copy and paste it into your Interactive form..this is the thing i had also implemented in my case, solved my problem..
but in case u need to add this somewhere which is a runtime specific thing, i haven't yet tried such thing.
Hope this helps.

Interactive Adobe Form Attachments - not possible??

Hi All,
I'm trying to extract attachments from interactive adobe form.
I bound the pdfsource to the form and tried to extract the attachments using pdfclasses.
The attachments are not captured in the pdfsource. SAP Note 1260750 says
"There is no support for attachments to interactive forms up to SAP NetWeaver 70 EhP2."
However I tried the same using offline upload (interactive form) and I could extract the attachments on SAP Netweaver 7.0 Ehp1.
I would like to know -
1) If there is some work around to do the same for Online form too.
2) Is Ehp2 released?
Thank you,
Sri

Hi Subramanyam,
Since i had queries regarding the same requirement that I think you have just achieved, so I could not help but to reply to the same thread and hoping to get some help.
I have developed an offline Interactive form which after getting filled is submitted by mail to save the information at the backend in the SAP system. This is working fine.
But now i need to enhance this form by providing an attachment functionality to the form where the user would be allowed to fill in the form and also attach some documents. I have been able to implement the same absolutely fine but while submitting the form through email, where my form gets attached with the mail in an xml format, I am not able find a way to send the attachment in the attached xml and thus not reaching backend.
Please help me out to find a way to send the attached document by Submitting though mail and thus make it reach the backend system for further processing.
Thanks,
Abhishek Goel.

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

Interactive Adobe Form and Search Helps

Does anyone know how to implement a Search Help in an Interactive Adobe Form? I have a requirement to fill a field with a manager and I have 17500 of them to choose from! Tried a Dropdown list, but it is not really appropriate, unless theres a way of entering a wildcard in the input field and using it to limit the dropdown list.
I am implementing the Transfer Request PCR SPTR in MSS 60.1, this PCR Adobe form is not delivered by SAP and I need to develop it.
Many thanks ... Andy

How to use SAP Business Workflow along with Interactive Adobe Form

Hi Experts,
I am working on SAP Business Workflow since last couple of years.
Now i have got a new Project where client wants to use SAP Business Workflow along with Interactive Adobe Form.
I am new to Interactive Adobe Form and Portal thing and i really dont know from where to start.
We have one central system and 2 local systems. when we do create a Material document using adobe form workflow should trigger and notification should go to group of users who can approve or reject it, once they approve it document gets created in central system and replicated to 2 local system through ALE.
In the Local system they do extend the document to different plants, again workflow triggers and notification will go to Managers inbox for the approval.
Once the final approval done data should go and store in SAP.
Now here i have couple of Questions.
1. In SAP R3 Business workflow when i execute the workitem from the inbox i do get the application screen ( i.e. MM01 MRP View ) , what is going to happen if the same case i have with Adobe form?? is it possible or do we have to design a adobe form and we will have to map the fields with backend application??
2. Do i have to maintained 3 separate Org Structure for 3 different system or using UWL i can manage the show
3. Untill final submit is not done, where the application data is going to be, is there any kind of buffer that we will have to keep it or its there with XML file??
Please help me out.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
Welcome to ADOBE Forms related Workflow Development. Well, here are my answers.
1) You can go for either go for ISR based development or WD development with Adobe form. In both the cases you can achieve your requirement. Yes, you will have to design the Adobe form and bind the fields to backend.
2) Am not clear or your System landscape to advice you in these regards.
3) Until final Submit/Approval is done, the data can be stored in WORKFLOW CONTAINERS or XML FORM(If you go for ISR based Development).
Hope this helps.

Multiple images into a subform in a dynamic non-interactive adobe form

I want to convert a set of images into a PDF (one page for each image) with Webdynpro. I'm trying with a non-interactive adobe form.
I followed the tutorial "Dynamic Non-Interactive PDF Form".
I've got a multiple Context node: 'Images' with a string attribute 'url' for each image.
In the form, I've created subform1, and subform2 within. I put an image field into subform2, setting its url to: $record.Images[*].url
and its script to: this.value.image.href = xfa.resolveNode(this.value.image.href).value;
It doesn't work.
If I add a field into subform2 binding it to url attribute, I can see some lines with the correct path for each image, but the image isn't displayed.
It works with a single dynamic image in the page. What am I doing wrong?
Regards
Anibal Pozo.

No. It's form scripting. In any case I'm working with Webdynpro Java.
I tried this code in table 'initialize' event.
for int=0 upto $record.nImages do
Table1.Row1[int].ImageField.value.image.href = $record.Images[int].url;
Table1.Row1[int].Cell4.value.#image.href = $record.Images[int].url;
endfor
Cell4 is a static image.
In 04SP9, it show always the same image in the image field (first column), and alternating image in cell4 (second column).
In 04sSP6, it shows always the same image in all the rows in both columns.
Any idea? I didn't find any OSS related.

Contradiction form error in non interactive adobe forms.

HI All,
I am woriking on a non interactive adobe forms generation program in ABAP.
The program uses a variant and generate pdf forms for all the list items on the varient.
Note: I am not using Webdynpro its the normal pdf generation.
The problem I am facing is that when the varient has a list of more records at some point of time it generates the contradiction form error and terminates. if I alter the varient so that the list is minimal then there is no problem with that.
I know that the Contradiction form error occurs when the pdf generation is open and there is another request to open a new form before closing the previous call. but when the varient has minimal data there is no problem with that, my assumption here is the data volume or such which causes the problem.
Does somebody came accross such an issue earlier or if you have a solution approach please do share it with me.
Thanks in Advance.
Sai Krishna.
