Layout adjustment in Forms 9i?

I have developed an ERP using Forms 9i. I have kept my development workstation on 1024x768 screen resolution. This works fine on all the clients, which have the same resolution. But, if I change resolution on my development machine to 640x480 or 600x800, all the layout in runtime gets spoiled. I have tried to set the width and height of the applet in percentage(e.g. 100%) in FormsWeb.cfg, but nothing seems to work.
I wonder if there is any way that Form layout can be set in the applet like it is done in HTML, which is very simple and straight-forward. Any help would be appreciated.

Faisal,
this doesn't seem to be a problem with the Forms Applet but with the Coordinate System (property on the Forms module) you used. The default setting is point, which means that an application which has been developed for 1024x768 wont fit on 640x480 screens.
If you know that your Forms Application must work on different resolutions, then the bet option is to develop it on the smallest resolution and then check the readability with the biggest resolution.
In this case you will have to adjust font sizes only, but the application laways fits on teh screen.

Layout adjustment sometimes not working

I'm in a bit of a panic here. We've set up a file that we're due to deliver to a client today, the file has multiple master pages with various margins.
Normally in this type of situation we turn on the layout adjustment so that the text frame moves with the margins when the new master is applied. Normally this works just fine, we use it all the time, but for some reason its randomly NOT working! i.e. the text frame stays the size it was.
There doesn't seem to be any ryme or reason to it, sometimes its a left page, sometimes a right page.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ken

Yeah, I tried. Nothing seems to work all the time as is usually does.
I'll have to look again and see if I can find some correlation with the
pages that do not adjust.
Oy!
Thanks again

Layout adjustment not working with tables

Hi all
Why will layout adjustment not work with tables?
I am trying to re-format from A4 landscape to A4 portrait.
The text box containing the table will resize but not the table.
Any clues why this might be, I don't want to manually resize every table in the document.
Many thanks,
Rob

Thanks Jongware,
Having resized the table and got the little red ovals, I tried various things like changing the font size etc but the best workaround I found was to select the table and change the cell inset value to 0, this got rid of all red ovals and I didn't need to change the font size.
Cheers,
Rob

Interactive Forms based on Adobe software is SAP's new solution for forms development. Its first release has the focus on interactive use of forms. High-volume printing is supported in principle, but - being a new solution - the performance has not yet reached the same level as Smart Forms or SAPscript, two established solutions that had years to grow. Interactive Forms is the only solution that will continue to be enhanced with new features, while SAPscript and Smart Forms will be supported without limitations.
When (or if) to move to Interactive Forms depends on your requirements. For interactive forms usage, i.e. the new functions, you have no choice, as the existing solutions don't support it. High-volume print scenarios need to be carefully analyzed to see whether your concrete requirements can be met at this point.
However, it is possible to move to Smart Forms and design your forms in such a way that a migration at any point in the future would be but a small step. Smart Forms offers from Web AS 6.40 a migration wizard to Interactive Forms. Technically, everything can be migrated, but we recommend against things like ABAP program nodes, for example.
You are not forced to ever go to Interactive Forms if you don't want to. It really depends on whether your client needs any of the new features in Interactive Forms. Also, if they are currently working with JetForms, they could enquire with Adobe directly what migration path they offer to the joint solution.

To get an overview idea about Adobe forms ,
Using SFP Tcode , first you need to create a interface . in interface you can declare the import and export parameters and also the declaration part, coding etc : This is nothing but similar to Function module interface.
And now we have to create the Form which is interactive. Create the form and enter the interface name which you have created in first step, so that the parameters , declarations of fields etc : will be copied and available in the form layout. So that you can drag and drop these declared fields ( dclared fields of interface ) to the layout.
Create the context and layout in the form.
The layout generated can be previewed and saved as PDF output.
Now we need to integrate the driver program and the PDF form to get the final output as per the requirement.
On activating and executing the form you will get a function module name just similar to smartforms.
The driver program needs to call this FM.
Refer to the below sample code :
DATA : is_customer TYPE scustom.
DATA : it_bookings TYPE ty_bookings.
DATA : iv_image_url TYPE string.
DATA : iv_sending_country TYPE adrc-country.
DATA : it_sums TYPE TABLE OF flprice_t.
DATA : docparams TYPE sfpdocparams.
DATA : formoutput TYPE fpformoutput.
DATA : outputparams TYPE sfpoutputparams.
PARAMETERS : pa_cusid TYPE scustom-id.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM scustom INTO is_customer
WHERE id = pa_cusid.
SELECT * FROM sbook
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_bookings
WHERE customid = pa_cusid.

What happened to Layout Adjustment? CS6 MENA

Hey, what happened to Layout Adjustment?!
I'm looking at InDesign CS6 8.0.1 ME version (Hebrew enabled, English
interface). It's definitely not there under the Layout menu. I've got
"Create Alternate Layout", "Liquid Layout", "Reverse Layout" (an ME
feature), but no Layout Adjustment!
I have clicked "Show All Menus" in the Workspaces menu at the top of the
screen.
I have trashed preferences.
To no avail.
The only way I'm able to access Layout Adjustment right now is via Quick
Apply (with "Include menu commands" ticked.)
Also, in Edit>Menus>Application Menus there is no entry that I can see
for Layout Adjustment (I'm looking under the Layout menu entries.)
So... where did they move Layout Adjustment to? Where is it on your
machine?
Alternatively, did they just forget to include it?
Thanks,

Importing form field layout from one form to another ?

I often create forms in both English and French. Many are long and complicated and I have to create them all individually. Is there any way I could use the form field layout from one form, for another form? That would be fantastic.

Sure. To replace the underlying page contents and retain any fields, document-level code, links, etc., select: Document > Replace Pages
you will likely have some tweaking to do to some field positions.

Layout Style "tree-form" with Wizard Style Layout checked

Dear all,
I am using layout style "tree-form" with Wizard Style Layout check box checked. intention is to display the hierarchy in tree and insertion with the help of Wizard for the last block. But with above settings, generated form is displaying as blank.
Example of required behavior: REGIONS should be displayed in Tree while the new Employees entry should be with the help of Wizard Style Layout.
Thanks in advance for help.
Muhammad Shafique

Muhammed,
This combination is not supported. But you can acvhieve what you want by creating a separate group to insert a new employee. This additional group should have form layout, wizard checkbox checked, and "Add Menu Entry" option unchecked.
Then you can customize the New button in the existing tree-form employee group to navigate to the new employee wizard group.

Adobe Livecycle Designer ES 2 - how to repeat page layout in the form?

How would you repeat page layout design randomly in a form, means how the same page layout can be repeated on non-consecutive pages of an LC Form? For e.g. I want to repeat Page1 layout on Page 5 and Page 6 of an LC Form. How to do that. Please reply.

You use Master Pages to set layout that you want to use on multiple pages.
Design what you want in a Master Page and then assign it to the pages you want in Object>Pagination>Place: and choose On Page> whatever you called your Master Page.

Error during Opening Layout on PDF Forms - SFP

Hi All,
I am trying to develop a PDF Form and I have succcessfully created interface and when i try to create a form, upon pressing the LAYOUT Tab or Button i get an error message and the trnasaction closes down
Error Details are:
==================================================================================
Error while opening document
Message no. SOFFICEINTEGRATION143
Diagnosis
An error occurred in the desktop application while opening a document.
Procedure
Check first whether you can insert a document from this desktop application as an embedded object in another application. The necessary menu item is usually 'Insert --> Object'. The application then lists all of the OLE document types. Choose the type corresponding to the desktop applciation. If the insertion fails, the error is in the desktop application itself.
This error has various causes. Often, it is caused by activating certain add-ins. Sometimes, the desktop application is wrongly installed. The error should not recur once you have disabled any add-ins or reinstalled the desktop application.
Procedure for System Administration
If you cannot solve the problem as described above, enter a problem message. There are notes relating to how to generate the log file using the program SAPROFFICEINTEGRATIONTRACE.

Backup a Query Print Layout or PLD form to restore later

How can I backup a PLD or Query Print Layout and save to a drive that will allow me to restore the layouts later on another version of B1?
I am upgrading 2005 to 2007 and during some testing I found the layouts were not saved in it's original form that we created and we had to redo them. I want to be sure I keep the layout as is and only tweak the fields if they have changed at all from 1 version to the next.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Joanne

Oh sure CX will work fine but not across DB versions. I need the format "before" I upgrade the DB....then take those forms and restore them or copy them to the new DB "after" upgrade.
I already tried to copy them across DB versions, no luck.
See I have a Check register using QPL that works great, when I do the upgrade from 2005A to 2007A, the layout goes all out of whack and is not the same as it was in 2005A. I had to redo everything in the layout as if it was created again.
I am trying to avoid that by coping the form someplace and seeing if I can restore it back after the fact, then test it.
Does that make sense?

6) Then go to T-code SFP and try to open the layout, it will work fine.
