Leading Zeros won't display on a PDF form

Hey, I am using Acrobat 7.0 professional on my Windows XP system. I have a PDF that was sent to me by someone known. This PDF is already fielded (meaning, I can type in my name and other relevant info in the form). However; I am trying to populate info on this PDF using an online data collection tool. Therefore, I deleted all the original fielding from the PDF and fielded it again using the naming conventions that match with the online data collection tool variables. After doing so, all other information is populating very well on the PDF but the values with leading zeros are not populating on the PDF. When I double click that field to check the properties and go to the "Options" tab, I see the value with leading zero that is being extracted from the online data collection tool; however it is not displaying it on the form. Moreover, if I try to modify any of the properties of that field; the value with leading zeros suddenly appears on the PDF Form.
Could anyone please assist me to identify as to what is causing the values with leading zeros not to populate on the PDF form...
Any help would be much appreciated...
Thanks!

Well, that was my guess. It may be that it is there, but you can't see it. There have been some issues of the information in a field not always displaying correctly. I have not experienced it, but remember such happens. You might want to search the forum. Bill

  • Delete leading zeros for a field on the pdf form

    Hi,
    i know it is possible to delete leading zeros via abap coding in the interface.
    But is it also possible to this directly on the pdf form - scripting or a setting?
    Thank you
    Kind regards
    Manfred

    I believe you can set this up as a field display pattern (if you use LCD 8.1 or something like that).
    Or you can script that out. In formcalc you can easily process characater by character, test if that is zero and remove it.

  • Leading zeros are not displaying in the excel

    Hi Experts,
    Leading zeros are not displaying in the excel
    Here is the situation:
    I have developed one report, which will create the file in Application server with TAB deleimeted. After that I am sending that file via email in the excel format using Email functionality FM.
    Normally our material numbers will start with zeros.
    But when I check the email excel file , leading zeros are not displaying.
    Even I checked the application server (AL11) file, zeros are there.
    I thought program FM was wrong and I tried it manually by downloading the file into excel. Eventhough it is suppressing zeros.
    Could you please advise, how to display leading zeros to the material number in excel file.
    Thanks in advance
    Raghu

    Application server file showing  zeros infront of the material number.
    1200#  0012401387# XXXXXXXX
    Once file created in app server, I am using one custom FM to send that output in excel format / txt format via email.
    when I send txt file via email, I am getting leading zeros. But when I send xls file via email, I am not getting zeros.
    I checked custom FUNCTION MODULE . No mistakes in that.

    Sudhir,
    As you said, I passed ( ' ) single quote infront of the material number. When I check the excel file, single quote also displaying like this '0000100.
    Application server file showing like below
    1200#  '0012401387# XXXXXXXX
    ===
    Could you please advise anyone how can we acheive this.
    Thanks

  • Adding leading zeros to the display data

    hi folks,
    I have the character variable of size 9, if I get the value of the variable less than 9, I need to add leading zeros to it accordingly before displaying the numeric value stored in it. I tried to use the 'SHIFT' command for that it did not work out.
    here is the code..
             data: len type I,
                   amount type C,
                   addspace len type I.
              len = strlen( amount ).
              write: ' the length of the string',len.
               if ( len < 9 ).
               addspace = 9 - len.
               write: addspace.
    SHIFT amount BY addspace Places LEFT.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Santhosh,
    All the suggestions here will work. Make sure that your number is on the right justified to your character field. Here is an example.

          v_char09_right_justified(09) TYPE c,
          v_numc09(09)                 TYPE n.
    START-OF-SELECTION.
    *-- in case the value is left justified in the field
      v_char09_left_justified = '9        '.
      CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
           EXPORTING
                input  = v_char09_left_justified
           IMPORTING
                output = v_char09_left_justified.
      WRITE:/ 'V_CHAR09_LEFT_JUSTIFIED from FM =', v_char09_left_justified.
      v_numc09 = v_char09_left_justified.
      WRITE:/ 'V_NUMC09 =', v_numc09.
    *-- in case the value is right justified in the field
      v_char09_right_justified = '        9'.
      SHIFT v_char09_right_justified LEFT DELETING LEADING space.

  • Want to display an interactive pdf form in the browser

    Hi all,
    I had created a value node and has also binded it to the 'dataSource' property of Interactive form UI Element & i had also binded the 'pdfSource' property to a value attribute of binary type.
    i had design the pdf form using the Adobe liveCycle Designer now when i deploy my application to my server (not running on my own system)
    No error is shown but the pdf form space only shows red cross in it.
    Please tell me where i could be wrong.

    Hi,
    If you want to display PDF in browser by using Webdynpro means you need to follow like this.
    ADS should indtalled in your portal.
    After only you have to create an Interactiveform UI Element in WD and that should be designed there data value should be drag and drop.
    Then only deploy the application the pdf should be displayed in browser.
    I am thinking like this only.
    Otheriwise post your issues.
    Thanks,
    Lohi.

  • Display of leading zeroes when downloaded from ALV to excel

    Hi All,
    I have a problem in ALV grid display.
    There is a specific field which has value starting from '001' to '999'. This is a char(3) type of variable.
    The problem is that the display shows the value as '001' which is correct. but when the same file is dwnloaded to excel using standard SAP functionality, the value of the field gets changed to '1' instead of '001'.
    Is there any option by which this can be controlled. Please let me know, its urgent!!
    thanks

    hi Ankur,
    the Excel download is done by Z program? IF yes you have to do:
       SET PROPERTY OF go_cell 'NumberFormat' = '@'.
    this will set the Excel cell to Text type and leading zeros won't be lost.

  • Display Leading Zeros in bex query

    Hi,
    I am new to BI and need to display leading zeros in bex report.
    There is an info-object billing number which is of type CHAR. The values, 00001 - 00010 has been given in the CSV file.
    when i generate the same in IP, the leading zeros are mentioned, but the same is not appearing in the bex query.
    I have tried ALPHA conversion but this has no affect on the output.
    How to achieve the same??
    thanks in advance for the answers

    Hi,
    To answer your question in detail, there is a  conversion routine at infoobject level( Tab- general ), that determines how the values are displayed in the front end. For ex, alpha conversion routine takes away the leading zeros when you display the value in query. ( 0001 displayed as 1 )
    Assuming this is custom infoobject, I would suggest you to remove the conversion routine from the infoobject. This will help you in displaying leading zeros in the report.
    However, you have to ensure that all the values loaded for this infoobject is properly alpha converted ( packed with leading zeros ) by adding a field routine in the transformation. This will avoid same values getting stored with different internal formats like 01,001 etc.
    Hope this explains.
    Thanks.

  • Suppressing leading zeroes during mapping

    Dear All,
    I am having one requirement in which i want to compress all the leading zeroes for the material no only eg 0000123450 shuld be converted into 123450.
    Is there any standard function available which compresses the leading zeroes???

    Write a UDF like this ..
    public class test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
      System.out.println(args[0].replaceAll("^0*",""));
    Also you can use XSLT for this.
    Try the XPath function number($string) in your XSLT and see if it does what you want. Since it turns any XPath object into a number, the leading zeros  won't appear.
    Use it ike this
    <xsl:variable name="a">
