Incrementing Number on Adobe Designer 7.0 Form

Hello -
I am wanting to create a PO form where an incrementing number gets applied to a field each time a user opens the form. The user is creating a purchase order, and instead of using preprinted-paper forms he/she wants to use an Adobe form. I have created the entire form in Adobe Designer 7.0, however, I cannot seem to get an incrementing number to be calulated/populated into a field. The form then gets mailed to others, however, when they open the form the number should not change because it is already populated. It should only populate (and increment the counter) when the field is blank (i.e. a new purchase order is being created).
I got something like this to work in Acrobat Pro 6.0 using a "global tracking number"....
Please help.
Thank you.
Rick

I'm not familiar with the "global tracking number" functionality you are referring to (I couldn't find any such beast in Acrobat 7 Pro), but it would seem to me that what you need is some sort of database connectivity. The PO number field would be the index on a PO table. If the customer is intent on keeping the PO numbers unique, would they not be tracking these is some sort of database repository?

  • Submit problem using Adobe Designer 7.0 form & GroupWise email

    We are designing an interactive form using Adobe Designer 7.0, and would like for other people in the organization to be able to fill in the form electronically then hit the "Submit by Email" to return the data.
    For email, we are using Novell GroupWise.
    Problems are occurring once the recipient of the form selects the "Send Data File" button. This action either causes Adobe to crash, or causes an error message, "Acrobat is unable to connect to your email program."
    Can anyone help? Is anyone successfully using this function with GroupWise email?

    I don't really have a solution for you - perhaps the following may be of use though:
    Try reinstalling Designer 7 and ensure that at the point where you are asked about your e-mail client that you tell it that you are using GroupWise.
    You may like to see if you can send an e-mail using the same method that we employ.
    This is the script we use on the 'click' event of a button that sends an e-mail with the form attached (via GroupWise) to the e-mail address as specified ("[email protected]" in the example below).
    var myDoc = event.target;
    myDoc.mailDoc(false,"[email protected]", "", "",
    "This is will appear in the subject line....",
    "Here is the message text............");

  • Why can't I reactivate my serial number for Adobe Design Suite Premium CS3?

    Below is a screen shot of what I am trying to explain. I did Step 2 but isn't recognizing my serial numbers. I don't understand that. I have purchased this a while back. Is it because it's old? Or do I have to purchase a serial number even though I have one already?  I was avoiding to have to pay something that I already have which isn't working. What do I do?
    Thanks in advance for you help.

    Hi sagalynn,
    Please see this document: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
    You shouldn't need to purchase an additional serial number. Did you activate your software on more than two computers? If so, you would need to deactivate it on one computer, before activating it on another.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • Where the Adobe Designer PDF Form "Default Locale" read from?

    I am designing PDF form using Adobe Designer. I have set the "Default Locale" in the Edit -> Form Properties. I have set the Display Pattern of numeric field to ZZZ,ZZZ,ZZ9.99. Based on locale, Adobe should format the numeric field accordingly. So where exactly the Adobe Designer read the locale and the number format? From SAP table, Adobe server OS, PC OS or from where? Because I need to check the locale setting ZZZ,ZZZ,ZZ9.99, ZZZ.ZZZ.ZZ9,99 and so on.

    Check in the Interface Or Form Builder -->Interface.

  • Testdrive with Form builder / Adobe designer ?

    Hello All
    A couple of q's about the Adobe solution.
    1) I have just installed the linux version of SAP NetWeaver 04 testdrive SR1.
    According to documentation Web AS 6.40 shuld have a new tool in ABAP Workbench called the Form Builder, but I can't find it anywhere in my testdrive version ?
    2) Prerequisites should be Adobe Designer is installed with the SAP front end.
    Is this Adobe Designer integrated in new SAPgui versions or how must I install it ?
    Best regards
    Thomas Madsen Nielsen

    Thank you Markus
    What version of SAPgui do I need for the ABAP version of this ?
    I have installed NW 04 for linux and MaxDB.
    On windows client I have installed
    1)SAPgui 620 Patch level 32.
    2) Java 2 SDK, SE v1.4.2_06
    3) From the NW 04 DVD i installed SAP NetWeaver Developer studio 2.0.4 and in the installation proces I also selected "install Forms Design Tool Adobe designer", but according to Markus Meisl this is not relevant if I want to use transaction SFP?
    When i enter the Form Builder in SAPgui I am able to open a form (ie. FP_TEST_01) but when i click on the layout tab I get a dump:
    MESSAGE_TYPE_X
    Program Name CL_GUI_CFW====================CP
    Include CL_GUI_CFW====================CM002
    Row 23
    Module type (METHOD)
    Module Name FLUSH
    Message id 'CDNP' type 'X' number 006 raising CNTL_ERROR.
    Any idea what I can do? My own guess is that I need a new SAPgui ?
    Best regards

  • Adobe Designer - Interactive form/template (visible but don't print messges

    Hello,
    I'm making a interactive form or template with Adobe Designer, in which I have one object field and a few text fields.
    What I need to do is add messages on those fields so the person using the interactive form/template can know what to input in each field and were the fields are since they don't have border or background. For example I need to have a message like this: "click here to add your logo" in the object field, those messages can't be printed since they are just instrucctions for the person using the form/template.
    I tried the Tooltip but since the fields can have border people won't know were the fields are and the Tooltip only works when you place the cursor on the field.
    Any suggestions?

    The input parameters you are seeing in a 'Web Dynpro like' form are more than likely input parameters to the process.  Process input parameters come from action input parameters  in process blocks and actions that are not mapped.  Given that, it sounds like you have not mapped all the input parameters for one or more of your actions in your process.  By default, GP provides the process initiator the ability to specify the values of these inputs when a process is started. To avoid this you can either,
    1. Map all the input parameters.
    2. Specify the process to start automatically under the 'Instantiation' tab for the process template.  By selecting this, input parameters are ignored and their default values used.
    3. Don't expose these parameters if they are not required or applicable to your process.  This can be done at the action or block level under the 'Parameters' tab.

  • No security tab in form options of Adobe designer

    Hi, I am new at using Adobe designer in a SAP netweaver environnement.
    I have a problem because I cannot set the security options in the designer because I have not got the security tab in the options.
    Has this ever happened to any of you ?
    I have allready serched the forums but have not found anything related to this issue.
    Thanks in advance,
    Nicolas.

    Hi Nicolas
    this is information you need to set on the SAP side of the integrated solution.
    In Web Dynpro for Java, one of the properties of the InteractiveForm UI element is 'enabled', which by default is set to 'true', i.e. by default it generates an interactive PDF form.
    In transaction SFP in ABAP, the form interface contains a property called 'fillable', which is disabled by default (because the transaction was built with a focus on high-volume printing requirements), and needs to be set in your program if you want to generate an interactive form.
    All this is described really well in the documentation, for example, for NW 2004s: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/37/47a2be350c4ac8afe36b691203971f/frameset.htm
    Remember, the form generation in SAP happens on the server (ADS), not in Acrobat.
    Hope this helps,
    Markus

    using Google to read reviews, I would not buy from that site Google
    added... click the google link I provided and do some reading about that site
    When you buy from another site instead of direct from Adobe you need to check first to be sure the site is an authorized reseller (such as Amazon)
    You are now going to have to get support from the place you bought if the serial number you were given by that site does not work

  • Adobe design question for barcodes and including PDFs

    Hi all,
    I am new to using Adobe LC ES 8.2. I have been reading this forum and it has been very helpful. We have certainrigid requirements for our application that is making it difficult to come up with a clean solution. I am hoping this forum will be able to answer some of my questions:
    Use case: Our application needs to mail correspondence to users (printed PDFs not fillable forms). We plan to use Adobe LC ES Designer to design all the forms and Assembler Service to assemble the documents together. The plan is to merge the templates with XML business data dynamically and then assemble them. When the documents are assembled together, documents to be assembled include Cover Pages Templates, Notice Templates, Attachments (could be templates or static PDFs) and decisions that will be converted into PDF from an RTF document using Adobe Professional 8. The user creates the document in RTF and convert it into PDF using Adobe Acrobat Professional and store it for assembly process. Our Print Shop requires the entire assembled mailing to have bar codes on each of the pages with the following information:
    1 D 3of9 barcode - JOB ID (can be sent dynamically) +  PIECE ID (number of mailing) + SHEET ID (page number with in the PIECE ID - front and back of the page get the same number)
    Following are the questions we have:
    1. What ways are available to apply the bar code to the assembled document as one piece of information in the bar code is the SHEET ID for the entire mailing? I would know the total number of pages only after assembly.
    2. If there is a way to manipulate the barcode information after assembly, I am not sure how we can handle bar coding the Decision PDFs that will be converted from RTF using Adobe Professional 8.
    Please advice.
    Thanks.

    Thank you. So, using Form Services we can manipulate the document (barcode object) after assembly.This is great.I will look into this. When we spoke to Adobe, they wanted us to complete all merge prior to assembly and said we cannot manipulate the document after assembly.
    How would I handle a barcode for a PDF that has been converted into PDF from a RTF document? My concern is that even if the RTF has a barcode, will it be a format that can be manipulated after it is converted into PDF by the user and submitted to the assembly process?
    One of my ideas is to maybe convert this PDF into images and include it in the XML data as base64 images and merge it with an Adobe Form template having image fields. This is not a clean approach and I am very concerned about performance issues with the size of the data XML.
    The other thing I am reading up about is "Underlaying pages" - http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/ddxRef/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?href=0012 71.html#1548394&accessible=true
    Any ideas?
    Thank you so much.
