Importance of the subform in adobe forms

Hi,
   Since i am new to this adobe forms, can any one tell me the importance of the subform and difference between Body page & Main page of the layout.
   I was trying to use the adobe forms to print the internal table data, but at the end of the internal table data i need to 'write some text' and need to do some calculations based on internal table data.
   here i have used the subform at the end but the problem is subform is overwriting in all the pages. It should be displayed in only in the last page and after all the internal table records printed. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Subform: is nothing but make the individual fileds into one group.
Let say example: in my output i am displaying header information..... make all the fileds into one subform, it indicates as header subform.
Suppose if the subform properties are position contents it does not flowed...
Suppose if the subform is flow content and top to bottom, it should flow to subsequent pages....
In adobe forms we have two types of pages which are
Master page
Body page
Master page: Basically we will design the logo,address and fotter will be designed in the master page.
it has to reflect to the subsequent pages. Master page is excluded from the content area
Body page: we will design the Table Data. it should included in the content area.
if you want to display some thing into the last page you can write the scripting based on the condions....
Adobe forms support the scripting .....
We have evnets like if you are wirting the conditions on
Master page  ---> Select the event as layout ready
Body page    ---> Form Ready event in the layout
Hope it may clears for your requirement
Thanks & Regards

  • How to improve the performance of adobe forms

    Hi,
    Please give me some suggestions as to how to improve the performance of adobe form?
    Right now when I' am doing user events it is working fine for first 6 or 7 user events. From the next
    one it is hanging.
    I read about Wizard form design approach, how to use the same here.
    Thanks,
    Aravind

    Hi Otto,
    The form is created using HCM forms and processes. I' am performing user events in the form.
    User events will doa round trip, in which form data will be sent to backend SAP system. Processing will
    happen on the ABAP side and result will appear on the form. First 6 or 7 user events works correctly,
    the result is appearing on the form. Around 8 or 9th one, the wait symbol appears and the form is not
    re-rendered. The form is of size 6 pages. The issue is not coming with form of size 1 page.
    I was reading ways to improve performance during re-rendering given below.
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/DynamicInteractiveFormPerformance.pdf
    It talks about wizard form design approach. But in SFP transaction, I am not seeing any kind of wizard.
    Let me know if you need further details.

  • What is the relation between adobe forms and web dynpro

    hi
    what is the relation between adobe forms and web dynpro

    Hi Jyothsna,
    Adobe forms are advanced to smartforms and scripts.
    Adobe forms are much easier than smartforms they are online forms.
    they can be developed online.
    Adobe forms : This is another SAP tool designed to create your own forms. The transaction for this is SFP.
    How to use them: You can create a sales order form in adobe form and send to the sales reps. Sales reps can fill this form when they are not connected to internet / SAP system. Once they connect to SAP just send an e-mail to a specific user id in outlook. You got to customize and code how do you want to process once you receive this form. This enables you to create orders even when you are not connected to the system. Hence no data loss. This is not how i used though :-). This is just my idea.
    What is the difference between Adobe forms and smart forms / scripts.
    Smart forms / scripts are used to show the data in SAP. Most likely you will use these to print / display some kind of reciepts / forms. Many companies must be using this for hard copies / ALE / EDI or to transfer data from SAP to others.
    Adobe forms are used to post data into SAP from SAP too.  So this has an additional feature compared to smartforms.

    Web dynpro in one of the component in NETWEAVER.
    Web Dynpro is the SAP NetWeaver programming model for user interfaces and provides support when developing the Web representation of business applications. The Web Dynpro model is based on the Model View Controller paradigm, and has the following features that build on the classic dynpro model:
    ·        Clear separation of business logic and display logic
    ·        Uniform metamodel for all types of user interfaces
    ·        Execution on a number of client platforms.
    ·        Extensive platform independence of interfaces

  • Change the position of subform in adobe forms

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to change the position of subform(y co-ordinate) in offline adobe forms.
    My subform is positioned and my code is:

    Though this question has been answered a few times,I could not find the answer in any of them.
    Please suggest...

  • How do I get my XDP form in the SharePoint 2010 Adobe Form library?

    I was able to get the Adobe LiveCycle samples for SharePoint to work.  For some reason, I can't get my XDP forms to show up in the selection dropdown in the Adobe Form Library on SharePoint using the Adobe LiveCycle SharePoint connector for SharePoint 2010.
    Is there a trick that you have to do to the form to make it available.  The only difference that I noticed was the sample forms used a guide.
    We are using Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES3 and we have Adobe LiveCycle server ES4.  We are using SharePoint 2010.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    I got this problem solved.
    Solution:
    Create new Adobe Livecyle form
    Have an xsd created for the schema of what is going to be in the form
    Import that data model when creating the form
    Right-click on xsd data connection in form.  Click Connection Properties.
    Click Next.
    Click the checkbox "Embed XML Schema" (This is what I was missing).
    Click Finish.
    That's it to make the form show up in the SharePoint Adobe Form Library.

  • Moving subforms in adobe form

    Hi,
    I developed an adobe form, it has 3 subwindows.
    Form structure is:
    It has 3 pages:
    Page 1 contains Subwindow 1. This is a fixed subform which always comes. This subfirn has 3 checkboxes.
    Page 1 has subform 2 also.
    page 2 has subform 3
    page 3 has subform 4
    When checkbox 1 is clicked, subform 1 appears
    When checkbox 2 is clicked, subform 2 appears
    When checkbox 3 is clicked, subform 3 appears
    When all checkboxes are clicked togeather, all three subforms appears.
    When checkbox 2 and checkbox 3 is clicked, then subform 3 and subform 4 appears on page 2 and page 3.
    My requiernmrnt is, when checkbox 2 is clicked, then subform 3 should be displayd on page 1 instead of page 2.
    How to achieve this funcionality?
    Regards,
    Ashish Gupta

    If you have below form hierarchy then it won't work the way you want as you are already creating pages and in case you hide/unhide a subform, it will reflective in that respective page only.
    form1
      |--Master Pages
        |--Page 1
          |--(untitled Content Area)
      |--(untitled subform) (page1)
          |-- SubWindow                  // This is a fixed Subform
             |-- CheckBox1
             |-- CheckBox2
             |-- CheckBox3
          |-- Subform2
      |--(untitled subform) (page2)
          |-- Subform3
      |--(untitled subform) (page3)
          |-- Subform4
    So if you want to achieve effect of having Subform3 appearing on Page1 itself then you need to place Subform3 on Page1 itself. Place the Subform2,Subform3,Subform4 next to each other or however you want but all on Page1 itself.
    Follow below form hierarchy and properties as mentioned against it.
    form1
      |--Master Pages
        |--Page 1
          |--(untitled Content Area)
      |--(untitled subform) (page1)
          |-- SubWindow                  // This is a fixed Subform. Make the Content type as Positioned in Object palette.
             |-- CheckBox1
             |-- CheckBox2
             |-- CheckBox3
          |-- Subform2                 // Make the Content type as Flowed in Object palette.
          |-- Subform3                 // Make the Content type as Flowed in Object palette.
          |-- Subform4                 // Make the Content type as Flowed in Object palette.
    I believe you already know how to hide/unhide the subforms through JavaScript/FormCalc.

  • Unable to unhide subform in Adobe Form

    Hello All,
    Something that should be simple has turned into a bit of a trial. I have an Adobe form with three tables with different columns. Based on a variable passed to the form say, "number_of_tests" one of the tables should be visible.
    This works fine when the subforms are set to "invisible" by default and then made "visible". However, it does not work when the default value is "hidden". Why does this matter? Well, the "invisible" element still affects the layout of the form so I need it "hidden" (exclude from layout). Any clue would be greatly appreciated.
    Here is my sophomoric code and location.
    data.#pageSet[0].Page1.NUMBER_OF_TESTS::initialize - (JavaScript, server)
    if (this.resolveNode("$").rawValue == "03") {
      this.resolveNode("Page2.ItemDataHdrSubForm3").presence = "visible";
      this.resolveNode("hdrs.ItemDataHdrSubForm3").presence = "visible";
      this.resolveNode("itms.ItemDataSubForm3").presence = "visible";
    if (this.resolveNode("$").rawValue == "04") {
      this.resolveNode("Page2.ItemDataHdrSubForm4").presence = "visible";
      this.resolveNode("hdrs.ItemDataHdrSubForm4").presence = "visible";
      this.resolveNode("itms.ItemDataSubForm4").presence = "visible";
    Here is the structure of my elements.
    MainSubForm is Flowed default to Visible.
    SubHeaderSubForm is positioned default to Visible.
    ItemDataHdrSubForm3 is flowed default hidden. (doesn't work, but does when default is "invisible")
    ItemDataSubForm3 is flowed default hidden. (doesn't work, but does when default is "invisible")
    ItemDataHdrSubForm4 is flowed default hidden. (doesn't work, but does when default is "invisible")
    ItemDataSubForm4 is flowed default hidden. (doesn't work, but does when default is "invisible")
    Again, thanks for any assistance.

    Hi,
    look into the XFA specs to learn the difference of visible, invisible, hidden and inactive: http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/xml/xfa_spec_3_3.pdf#page=68
    Ok, so why do you use the initialize event for your script?
    And the script you provided does not fit the structure form your screen shot.
    It should look this way:
    if (this.rawValue == "03") {
      xfa.resolveNode("MainSubform.ItemDataHdrSubForm3").presence = "visible";
      xfa.resolveNode("MainSubform.ItemDataSubForm3").presence = "visible";
    if (this.rawValue == "04") {
      xfa.resolveNode("MainSubform.ItemDataHdrSubForm4").presence = "visible";
      xfa.resolveNode("MainSubform.ItemDataSubForm4").presence = "visible";

  • Hiding subform in adobe forms

    go to palettes and select script editor. you will find a white colored editor.
    Click on the subform which is to be hidden in the heirarchy.
    Select Initialize from the drop down list on the editor. And select Language as FormCalc.
    You'll get the white space in the editor to write the code.
    if the subform which is to be hidden is SUBFORM1.
    then write the code as follows
    $.SUBFORM1.presence = "hidden"
    this will hide the sunform.
    if the hiding of the subform is dependent on any condition then we can write the code as follows
    if ( condition )  then
    $.SUBFORM1.presence = "hidden"
    endif
    this code will hide the subform and all the elements in the subform only if the condition is satisfied.

  • How to refresh the data in Adobe forms

    Hi,
    I have created an Adobe form through SFP transaction and a print program which passes data to the form through an internal table. The probelm is, first time the data is getting printed perfectly as per the internal table, but next time when I again run the program for new set of data, the form doesn't display the current data. It still has previous data in it, though the internal table contains the correct data. Can any one tell me why this is happening? Is there any way to refresh the adobe form data?

  • How to use the separate symbol in the textfield in adobe form?..urgent

    Hi,experts,
    I don’t know how to use the separate symbol to make a paragraph separate into several lines correctly in the text field in the adobe form.
    Action:
    1. config the ADS successfully.
    2. create the adobe form with a mult-line textfield(binding the 'remark' context in the interface of the form) using sfp.
    3. create a WDA for invoke the form and transfer the 'remark' context data.
    I use the following codes to display the paragraph in the PDF document:
    CONCATENATE
    '1&#12289;aaaaaaaaaaa&#65307;'
    '2&#12289;bbbbbbbbb '
    '3&#12289;ccccccccccc'
    '4&#12289;ddddddddd'
    INTO remark .
    lo_nd_z_hr_php_payslip->set_attribute(
    EXPORTING
    name = `REMARK`
    value = remark ).
    But I found all the content aren't paragraph separate correctly in the text field in the adobe form when I run the WDA.
    Could you please give me some hints to make the paragraph separate correctly in PDF document? Thanks a lot in advance!
