Is it possible to use a form variable (in memory) as input to render pdf?

Hi,
I understand that the render to PDF service takes URI as input, but what if I have a xdp form modified and stored in memory, and would like to use that to render PDF, how can this be done?
Thakns in advance.

Hi Jasmine,
Thanks for the tip. So, is this what I need to do?
I have an xdp form in the repository, and xml data I generate from a custom component.
1. render the pdf form (merge xdp (no data) with xml data)
2. convert pdf back to xdp (this xdp now includes data) and stored as a document variable in memory
3. manipulate the xdp (via custom component)
4. render the pdf form by passing the xdp (from step 3) in a document variable type as part of the data parameter, leaving URL blank.
5. write pdf to disk
This would work right? Is there another way?
Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to use a Shared Variable within a Chart?

I have a shared variable between a container report and a subreport called {@ResponseCount}:
whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar Responses:= DistinctCount ({Survey_Response.RecipID})
I placed the variable in the report footer and the value is passing correctly. I would like to use this shared value in a chart; however, it is not even listed in the Chart Expert as an available field. I was placing the chart in Report Footer b.
I have also tried moving the variable value to the Report Header and placing the chart in the Report Footer, with the same result.
I tried changing the variable to a global variable, thinking that I was using the incorrect scope, but that passed a zero value instead.
Any suggestions would be welcome. Thank you.

Thank you for the response. Though I almost gave up on this, I did find a way to access the shared variable after all. I created a formula that simply called the variable formula. For this example, I was using a shared variable to pull a value from my container report into my sub report for use in a chart.
In my container report I created the shared variable {@Get_Responses}:
whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar Responses:= DistinctCount ({Survey_Response.RecipID})
In my sub report I created the formula to call the above variable {@Fetch_Responses}
whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar Responses;
Then, again in my sub report, I created a second formula to call the above formula {@ResponsesForChart}
{@Fetch_Responses}
This last formula was then available for use in the chart I needed to create.

Is it possible to use Global class variable in a BAdi

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement wherein ,
I need the Reference of the Class Object to be used in a BAdi. The class object is defined as a global variable.
By any means can I use the reference variable inside the BAdi.
thanks

Hi Hari,
U can access any objects or variables in BADI only if they are used as parameters in it.
So please check whether that global object is declared as parameters in the corresponding BADI.
If so, you can surely use it.
Reward points if this is useful.

Is it possible to use a ODI variable in a procedure

I am trying to call an external java program from the operating system (MS-DOS) using a procedure. This is possible using the os.system("<command>") syntax - declaring a procedure to use Jython. However, I want to be able to pass two ODI variables to the java program. I do not seem able to do this, is it possible ?
I also tried calling the OS command from within a package - but again cannot get the OS command to pass the variables.
I would appreciate any help on this.

Thanks for your response.
I am still unable to do this.
Problem is the procedure is "Jython" and it does not know what the ODI variables are.
I basically have two variables source and target which need to be passed to a java procedure.
So I created two VARIABLES in ODI - source and target.
I then have a procedure with the command;
import os
import sys
cmd = "java ConvFile"
rc = os.system(cmd)
when this runs it does not pass the variables.
if you have
import os
import sys
cmd = "java ConvFile"+#Tax_Updates.SourceFile+#Tax_Updates.TargetFile
rc = os.system(cmd)
then it does not know what #Tax_Updates.SourceFile and #Tax_Updates.TargetFile are and so just passes them as strings.
If you still think it is possible or anyone esle knows can you elaborate a little on the solution.
Thanks
Nick

Is it possible to use Adobe Forms with 4.6C

Hi Experts,
We have client who have got 4.6c as R/3, and they wanted to build some Adobe Interactive forms on it.
As per my idea, to build the Adobe Interactive forms we need to have minimum of Netweaver 2004 for runtime environment.
If I am correct, can we build the forms in both of these combinations Netweaver 2004 and R/3 4.C.
I f this combination doesn't support to run adobe forms can any one please advise me what are the upgrades needed for R/3 4.6C to make it work.
Thanks,
Chinna.

Is it possible to use Oracle Forms 10g with Oracle 10g Lite Database?

Hi All,
We are in process of migrating our forms from 6i to 10g environment.
We have two kinds of applications, one set run on general Oracle 11g database and the other set of forms run at the client machine using Oracle lite database.
We dont have any problem with Forms 6i to connect to Lite database as it allows to connect through ODBC:DSN names. When we try to connect to a lite database (10gR3) from Forms 10g through ODBC/DSN, it's not allowing and throwing the below error.
ORA-03121 : no interface driver connected - function not performed
Can someone tell me if there is something wrong in our approach? Also advise how to use Oracle Lite database with Forms 10G.
Sincerely,
Praveen Manthena

Hi,
I have experience with 6i with lite database 10g. There are two version of lite database one is multi language support and other one in english. There lang problem in connectivity with multi language 10g lite database. I done connectivity with single language connectivity of 6i with 10g lite database. You should try this one with forms 10g.

Is it possible to use parameters as variables in templates?

Hi there,
When you see a statement like the following in your template:
<$defaultPageTitle=lc("wwNgEditFolder")$>
Is there any way to replace lc("wwNgEditFolder") for something more dynamic? For instance, if I replaced the above with something like this:
<$defaultPageTitle=myURLVariable$>
and then use the url as follows:
.../idc/idcplg?IdcService=MY_SERVICE&myURLVariable=mytitle
Would that work? or what else can I do to dynamically give values to my page.
Thanks!

Any parameter you pass to a Service in the QueryString will be available to you as a variable in the template.

Using Adobe Forms and document will not convert to a PDF file

I just purchased the Forms add on pack today and I was able to create a form with no trouble. I would like to have the form downloaded as a PDF (which is an option in this package) and I keep getting and error message that says Adobe is unable to download the form at this time. I tried opening and downloading the form on different computers at my work, all generating the same error message. Is there an Adobe issue, or could this be a security feature that is not enabled on my highly blocked/monitored work computer that I have limited control over? I can view the form as a link, embedded URL, and web form, just having so much difficulty getting it to open as a PDF, really the only way I want to use this program. If this is a temporary problem, then I can wait until its resolved, however, if I can never open any forms I create as a PD, the package is useless to me.

Using a java variable in jsp-Reports?

Hello everyone,
is it possible to use a java variable in the xml-definition of a report? Something like
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/lib/reports_tld.jar" prefix="rw" %>
<% String someSqlStatement="select * from emp"; %>
<rw:report id="myReport">
<rw:objects id="myObjects">
<report DTDVersion="9000010" name="myReport">
<data>
<dataSource name="Q_1">
<select>
<![CDATA[
<%= someSQLStatement %>
]]>
</select>
It won't work that way (as the string is not evaluated and inserted into the definition, but how could it be done? Would be great to modify the report programatically that way? Any ideas?
TIA,
Marcel Jantz

To pass values to Reports, you should use the "parameters" attribute in the <rw:report> tag. In the above case you would have:
<% String myParameters="p_someSqlStatement=select%20*%20from%20emp"; %>
<rw:report id="myReport" parameters="<%= myParameters %>">
<rw:objects id="myObjects">
<report DTDVersion="9000010" name="myReport">
<data>
<dataSource name="Q_1">
<select>
<![CDATA[ &p_someSqlStatement ]]>
</select>
The body of the <rw:objects> tag isn't evaluated since the Reports Builder needs to be able to open and load the <rw:objects> tag. As the Reports builder doesn't run the .jsp on open, it only parses it, the <rw:objects> tag can't have values that need to be evaluated.

Using Document form varable results in failed unmarshalling message java.io.eofexception

Hi,
I'm on LiveCycle ES 8.2. For PDF submit forms from workspace, I assigned the servername for submit as URL:
http://adobe1234:8080/workspace-server/submit.
We are using Document Form variable for this process. The reason is the forms will be digitally signed at each stage and we dont want to loose their signatures if forms go next stage.
This works perfect when I submit the form.
Now, we will be moving all the existing instances to new server and I want this URL to be server independent.
I take off this URL and kept it blank and try to submit from workspace. Nothing happens if I click submit and the form stays at the same place.
I see the following error in the log file:
2012-03-29 15:07:17,541 ERROR [org.jgroups.protocols.UDP] failed unmarshalling message
java.io.EOFException
          at java.io.DataInputStream.readShort(Unknown Source)
          at org.jgroups.Message.readFrom(Message.java:630)
          at org.jgroups.protocols.TP.bufferToMessage(TP.java:973)
          at org.jgroups.protocols.TP.handleIncomingPacket(TP.java:829)

          at org.jgroups.protocols.TP$IncomingPacketHandler.run(TP.java:1296)
          at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
I have to avoid using this URL in the form as I will be moving my system to new domain & DNS and for any existing process instances, if they try to submit the form, that will error out as the URL is pointing to another server.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
kc

I don't think I read your first post thoroughly. I see now you are setting the URL to prevent the form from appearing altered. I don't use digital signatures, but can see the potential problem. My first thought was to put JavaScript in the form to set the URL, but that would likely cause the same problem. I probably can't be of much help with no experience using the digital signatures. Our forms are considered 'Signed' if a logged in user clicks approve. Have you deleted the Form Bridge and readded? There may be differences with the one in ES2.
I think you are also saying you can't set the URL server side before rendering the form because processes will launch under one domain then get changed later.
If you were able to use JavaScript to determine which URL to submit to, you could put that code in the Form Bridge code and I would think that would submit. The form is not being altered by the code. This is assuming the code snippet I copied out of the form bridge is really what is called.
/** Invoke the standard Submit action */
function submitAction(doc, url, type) {
    if ( BRIDGE_SUBMIT_URL != null ) url = BRIDGE_SUBMIT_URL;
    if ( BRIDGE_SUBMIT_TYPE != null ) type = BRIDGE_SUBMIT_TYPE;
    if ( type == null ) type = "PDF";
    if (url != null) {
        setFocus(null); // force current field focus out in 8.1 + readers (null op in previous versions)
//      doc.submitForm({cURL: url, bEmpty: true, cSubmitAs: type, cCharset: "utf-8"});
        doc.submitForm({cURL: url, cSubmitAs: type});

Using BASH environment variables in xCode build configuration

Hi All,
Is it possible to use BASH environment variables (exported from /etc/profile, for example) in xcode build settings?
Specifically, I am exporting a "BOOST_HOME" variable, and would like to referencing this variable in "User Header Search Path", but the obvious $BOOST_HOME doesn't seem to work?
Thanks,
Andrew

I don't know much about XCode -- but to set environment variables for GUI applications you need to edit ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist. There's a description here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/Environment
After editing that file I believe you have to logout and back in for the changes to take effect.
I swear I saw a GUI app to help edit that file, but I can't find it now...

What's the business case for using adobe forms for handling print forms

Hi
We are just starting our SAP project and are looking at the possibility to use Adobe forms for generating and printing our forms, like purchase orders, invoices etc.
My Question is:
1. Is this possible / adviseable ?
2. if so - what's the business case in using Adobe forms - <i> We have been looking on the SAP Pricing for adobe interactive form, and in our point of view it's grotesque high</i>
3. What other options do we have - do we need to settle with SAP Script / Smartforms ?
Regards
Morten Nielsen

Hi Morten,
1. Is this possible / adviseable ?
As far I know SAP is going to stop support for SAPScript in coming years (I don't know exact dates). It is pretty much advisable to use Adobe Print Forms.
2. if so - what's the business case in using Adobe forms - We have been looking on the
SAP Pricing for adobe interactive form, and in our point of view it's grotesque high
We can use Adobe Print Forms where ever we can able to use SApscripts/PDF print Forms.
3. What other options do we have - do we need to settle with SAP Script / Smartforms ?
It is better to settle with Adobe forms rather than using SAPscript/Smart forms. One of the main reason for this is maintainance is much easier than SAPscript/Smart forms.
But remember that Java Stack need to be installed in order to use Adobe Forms.
Please visit the below SDN area on Adobe forms for more details.

Importing form data per XML - Using the form interface?

Hi!
I'm developing interactive forms by adobe and I want to import my form data per XML file. The xml file and the email are created by my pdf document.
Now this xml file has to be parsed by a report or something like this.
Is it possible to use the form interface, I implemented, or do I have to parse it manually?
I think it has to work with this interface because it makes the pdf and it "knows" what to import/export.
Am I wrong with my suspicions or can you help me with this problem?
Thanks & greets,
Philip Gillißen

I'm pretty impressed of Adobe and their stuff (I do NOT refer to the community), how helpful they are.
Perhaps I didn't understand the meaning on the offical customer support website, stating:
The best way to contact us...
Ask our experts
Our community and staff are at your service 24/7
Even worst, their is a similar question from 25/09/2013 (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5711946#5711946) and no feedback form Adobe stuff at all.
Great service guys!
Thanks a lot!
