LifeCycle Form Server :- My form is rendering as pdf in the browser without displaying data sometim

LifeCycle Form Server :- My form is rendering as pdf in the browser without displaying data sometimes within data fields, and at other times it will display data. The form consistently displays data when rendered in HTML.
We display the forms in a browser either HTML or PDF format based on the user selection. But the behavior of PDF format is not consistent. Sometimes it renders properly and sometimes the form renders without data.
Dose any one experienced this issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
RK

I have been seeing the same issue, but haven't been able to find a fix for it yet. So any info would be appreciated here too.
Thanks

Can I save the form as well as pdf in the system?

Hi,
I know that I can use the interactive forms as a kind of paper like user interface.
But is it as well possible to save the files as pdf in the system AND extract he data entered in the form into the tables in the SAP system?
Kind regards,
Carl

Hello Carl,
Yes both the things are possible in the interactive forms.
There are wide range of APIs available wherein you can get the PDF as a byte array and then can use the normal Java APIs to save the PDF on the file system.
To have the data extracted into the tables of the SAP system, you need to use a model node in your interactive form based applications and then you can transfer data to and from the backend to interactive forms.

BUG: Flash hardware acceleration is not enabled when software rendering is enabled in the browser

Confirmed in IE9 and Firefox, this appears to have started in Beta 4, and would explain why suddenly the Green line bugs i reported earlier were resolved.
Flash acceleration should NOT be linked to the browsers back end compositor acceleration.

same problem here, but with liva-intel-driver. see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33936

Record locks created when user closes the Browser and not the Web Form

Hi. We sometimes encounter the issue where a user updates a record, locking the record on the table, but then they unexpectedly closes the browser without saving by clicking the X in the upper-right of the browser window. Then when another user comes along and attempts to edit that record they get the message Unable to Reserve Record. The orphaned record lock eventually does seem to clear itself out, but that can often take 15-20 minutes.
Is there any way to speed this up? Or to pragmatically keep this from occurring? Either on the database side or with some code in a particular application?
Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

If a user closes the browser window the forms runtime on the application server holding the locks is in most cases still up and running. The FORMS_TIMEOUT controls on how long a forms runtime on the server is up and running without the client applet not sending a heartbeat (See MOS note 549735.1). By default this is 15 minutes which would explain your locks being held 15 minutes.
You could decrease the FORMS_TIMEOUT in the default.env, so the forms runtimes get cleaned earlier and thus the locks get released earlier.
Note that if you have blocking client_hostcalls with webutil this might be a problem, as it prevents the forms applet from sending the heartbeat and after the FORMS_TIMEOUT passed while the forms applet is blocked the forms runtime on the server gets closed.
cheers

View/Save/Print Embedded Form on Webpage to PDF

How can a user View/Save/Print Embedded Form on Webpage to PDF?

Hi,
Currently FormsCentral does not support to View/Save/Print Embedded Form from the Webpage to PDF. If you are the form author, you can save/print the form to PDF in FormsCentral, and the PDF forms can be viewed in Acrobat or Reader.Or if you like, you can save/print the entire web page to PDF using the browser, but the form could not be submitted then. I hope it's clear, and please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
Kind regards,

Problem opening Form based PDF via Safari browser with Adobe Reader 9.3 on MAC

Hi,
I'm mentioning below the problem that we are facing when we open a form based PDF created using a licensed version of Adobe Livecycle Designer ES (Version 8.2.1.4029.1.523496) on a MAC machine through a Safari Browser.
We tested this PDF form on a windows machine and the PDF opens in an IE browser via the latest Adobe reader 9.3 without any problem. I then received complaints by our clients that they were unable to open the same PDF on their Safari browser on a MAC machine, I tried to resolve the problem by downloading the latest version of Adobe Reader 9.3 for MAC but noticed that the Safari browser window would just keep refreshing the page without displaying the PDF at all. I then uninstalled the Adobe Reader 9.3 version and downloaded and installed an older version i.e., Abobe Reader 8.2 version for MAC and noticed that the PDF document successfully opened in the Safari browser. My question is why does a form based PDF work with an older version of Adobe Reader for MAC and not with the latest version? Our clients are not comfortable with the fact that we are refraining them from upgrading to the latest version of Adobe Reader for MAC and that they would have to downgrade their existing Adobe Reader 9.3 to a lower version Adobe Reader 8.2 in order for the PDF forms to work when it should be the other way around.
Is there any fix or a patch that is currently being worked on that would resolve this issue in the latest Adobe Reader for MAC? If yes then when would it be ready? This issue is quite critical for our business and would appreciate it if this would be looked into with high priority.
Thanks and Regards,
Sheikh Huraiz Ahmed.

That suggestion makes sense and likely works, but only if the user is on a machine that will allow them to use Reader. I'm sending this out to a lot of teachers, who are using machines either at school, or are school-issued machines, and they don't have the admin privileges to install software-- even Reader.
so my problem is, if they are stuck on a machine without Reader, and without the possibility of having Reader... it's just not going to work because Preview can't handle these functions.
And, since that is not an acceptable answer with what I'm trying to do... I will find another way to create/submit forms. I think there are some online possibilities I will have to make work.
very, very disappointing and frustrating.

Javascript not working when pdf is rendered in the browser IE9

I have a javascript on the initialize event of a field and it works fine when doing a Preview PDF but not when i render the PDF in the browser
if(F.Page_1.field1.rawValue == null)
F.Page_1.field1.presence = "invisible";
F.Page_1.field2.presence = "visible";
Can some one pelase help?
Thanks,
F.Page_1.field1::initialize - (JavaScript, client)

Hi,
The initialize event is supported in browsers, but the issue may be if the form is saved as a Dynamic XML Form in the save-as dialog in LC Designer. Or if you using LC Enterprise Suite to render the forms at runtime, if you have set the render in LC Designer: File > Form Properties > Defaults to Dynamic XML Form:
Changing an object's presence requires a dynamic form.

How to return a html repsonse after form guide rendering in browser?

How to return a html repsonse after form guide rendering in browser indicating that server has recieved transmission and request is submitted succesfuly?
I am rendering the form guide in browser using guide invoke service and when i submit the data in browser to server through guide , it is displaying some random number in browser?
i need to display a resposne that request is submitted successfully?

how could i define a variable with "html data" ?
Create a variable of type document and then a service to read the html from where ever it's located. If you put it in LiveCycle, you can use the ReadRessource service. If it's on the file system, you can use the Read Document. If it's in the database, you can use the JDBC service.
Also, one more doubt where should i use this variable in my process to get the same?
You want the response once you've submitted the data, so the html is really the result of calling the process that's processing the data. So I would create an output variable of type document on that process.
Right now it displays a random number in the browser because your submit process is long lived. When a process is long lived (asynchronous), you invoke it and then you get an identifier back. It's kind of a fire and forget. You can use that identifier to check the status of the long lived process, since long lived processes can take hours, days to complete. You don't want your browser to wait that long, hence the identifier.
However if you change the process to be short lived (synchronous), the browser will wait for the result of the process, which really means the output variables for that process. If your output variable contains html, it'll display html.
So the key is make you submit process short lived and populate the output variables appropriately.

Flash Forms Not Rendering in IE7, Flash 9

We're having a problem with flash forms in IE7 and Flash
Player 9 not rendering the entire form. The form works fine in
Firefox 2. It looks to be a problem with how the Flash player is
able to pull back data in IE7. Likely this pertains to how IE7
handles security of plug-ins.
Oddly, we've noticed that uninstalling the Flash 9 player and
then reinstalling results in the form rendering correctly the first
time, but on subsequent views the form no longer renders correctly.
Specifically, we're not seeing data that is being called via
Flash remoting in cfselect tags (state and country information).
And we're not seeing text rendered that is in cfformitem tags. Our
dev url is:
http://hopeequity.beaconfire.com/loggedout/index.cfm?event=StartInvesting_StartAGroupStep1
If anyone has an idea of why IE7 might not be able to render
the form correctly, or might have security-related issues with
remoting and Flash 9, please reply.

I was granted access to the manuals on our prod server (the
site is set up where you have to log in to see the manuals). The
manuals are behaving differently on the prod server than in our dev
server. The following is happening on the prod server:
- the flash menus are appearing on our prod server in FireFox
only.
- I had reported in our dev area that when I right clicked on
the left hand side where the menus are to appear in IE that the
Flash menu displayed. This is not the case in our production area.
- I get the "This page contains both secure and nonsecure
items" when viewing the site on our prod server through IE
I've asked them what version of RoboHelp they are using and
no one seems to know. It seems they don't regenerate their help
files (manuals) very often.

I have tested the connection from sap to RFC Destination ADS. It seems to be working fine. I have also executed the program FP_PDF_TEST_00 to check the connectivity.
It provides me with the following information : Version Information: 710.20061024154505.342190
Can someone please have a look into the issue and suggest wht is that i am not doing or is going wrong.
Cheers,

Dear Ralf,
Thanks for your prompt replies. I appreciate it.
I've copied the following code mentioned in the note and pasted it in my wddomodifyview method.
But after activating and executing the application, the application time outs and gives ADS time out error.
I've checked and am sure that it is the below code that makes it time out.
I would also like to draw your attention to the fact that when i then run prog. FP_TEST_00, it also hangs.
Please help.

How to make the print command wait until form is rendered.

This is an ongoing issue that so far I haven't been able to figure out how to fix, so I'm hoping that someone will have a good idea or work around. I'm working in LiveCycle Designer ES v8. using JavaScript.
I have to include a feature that allows the user the choice to print out a dynamic form to fill out by hand. So I've created a button that asks if this is what they want to do, if they answer "Yes", then several things are scripted to happen. All data is reset, some subforms and pages are made visible, while other subforms are hidden, and text fields are expanded. This causes the form to expand from one page to 15 pages. Then it prints using this command:
xfa.host.print(1,
"0", (xfa.host.numPages -1).toString(), 0, 1, 0, 0, 0);
The problem is that when the print dialogue box appears, the Print Range is always set to less than the total number of pages. It looks like that the print commands fires before the form has completed rendering. This isn't a big deal since the user can click to set the Print Range to "All" which will print all 15 pages. The problem is that most people don't read the dialogue box. They click "okay" and end up with their form cut off. Then I get phone calls that my form doesn't work.
Is there anyway to delay the print command until everything has finished rendering? Or set the Print Range to always go to "All"?
Thanks in advance for your help with this.

It sounds like you'd be fine if you just separated the print function from your "Yes" button. It will require a 2nd button click from the user but that would be the only inconvenience.

How do I populate fields in a pro 9 lifecycle form from my quickbooks customer files?

I've created a PDF form using acrobat pro 9, Lifecycle designer, using a quickbooks customer letter template to create the form. I am trying to populate the "fields" (extract data from quickbooks) in the form, however the option to do so is "grayed out" function not available to me.

You should probably ask your question in the LiveCycle forum. You may have to write some JavaScript and that comes under another forum also. I have no clue.

Xml forms not rendered in default layout set - urgent

Hi guys,
I've to display several properties and to provide the rating and feedback service in conjunction with xml forms because a "NewsRenderer" doesn't support the display of additional properties.
So I tried to use one of the default layout sets (e.g. "Consumer Explorer") but the <b>xml forms are not rendered after selecting the "contentLink"</b> (displays raw content of xml document). I'm looking quite a long for a command that opens and renders the xml forms in a new window - without any success...
Please help! TIA
Regards
Joerg

hi,
you have to create a XMLForms Repository Filter. Check this link:

Way to save adobe interactive form onto any common location in the server

Hi,
I have a couple of requirements to implement and wanted to have a clear idea on how these can be implemented and time it will take.
The requirements are: I will be developing an application using NWDS which will have interactive form in it and once this form is filled online and clicked on the submit button the form should get stored in a common location in server so that it can be retreved and editted later on.
And during the click of submit button the whole form also should get posted to HELPDESK at the same time via mail.
Now is there by any chance i can send the whole form to a particular mail id ? and can i save the form in a common destination for future access ?
Thanks a ton in advance,
Vipin.

Hi Vipin,
This help on interactive forms will help you to resolve the problem
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/dc/f1783fe3263042e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
see source code of the onActionsubmit method in the controller implementation to save the pdf file in a particular location.
In the same way you can write some custom source code in onActionsubmit to send a mail. You can get the source code in any one of the standard java sites available.
Revert back on this if you need more information.

Saleem
