List box in adobe form
I have an adobe form with a bunch of list boxes. For each list box, I don't want anything selected by default and do not want to put in an extra entry like 'select an item' since I need these to be required fields. So I would like nothing selected by default but force the user to pick an item from the list. What is the easiest way to do this? thanks
Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated. thx

How to populate values in List Box in Adobe form
Hi,
How to populate values in List box in adobe forms?
Thanks
RBif you want to display a fixed values in the dropdown you can use list box ui and can specify values there
or if u want to display values from the context node of the webdynpro
1. Drag and drop a Value Help Drop-down List element from the Web Dynpro Library tab to the Body Pages pane.
2. Drag and drop your node from the Data View tab onto it. This action binds the layout element to the corresponding node.

Combo/ list box in Adobe Reader on iPhone 5
I have exported to an interactive PDF which contains radio buttons, text fields, combo boxes and list boxes. This form is to be viewed on an iPhone in Adobe Reader. All the form objects work except for the combo/list boxes. They appear and a selection can be made but the selection is not displayed in the box. I have tried to enlarge the box, thinking it was too small to display the text.
Can someone please tell me if there is a compatibility issue or a work around for this problem.
Thanks!
GemmaI tested one of my interactive PDF forms, and it works fine in Reader on iPhone 5. Here is what a list box looks like:

Retaining List Box Value in Form Bean
Hi All,
I want to retain the List Box populated using the Form bean.
Right now when i display the List Box in a page and submit the Form and come back
to same page again I do not get List Box populated.
In the JPF I do not get the all values of the List Box. I only get the selected
value of the ListBox.

HiteshHi sudha,
1. We can also use the FM
F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST
(here u will be able to capture the value)
2.
DATA : BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,
bukrs LIKE t001-bukrs,
butxt LIKE t001-butxt,
END OF itab.
SELECT * FROM t001 INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itab.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
EXPORTING
retfield = 'BUKRS'
value_org = 'S'
dynprofield = 'MYLISTTAB'
dynpprog = sy-repid
dynpnr = sy-dynnr
TABLES
value_tab = itab
EXCEPTIONS
parameter_error = 1
no_values_found = 2
OTHERS = 3.
3. In pai module,
use the code :
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
field mylistab module abc.
where field = your field name
abc = module name (which contains the above coding in step 2)

Dropdown list in offline Adobe forms based on Particular plant number
Hi All,
Actually I am working on the offline adobe forms. In one of my requirement User will enter the Plant number after that user click on Submit button then the data in Function/Area and Equipment fields will come in a drop down list based on the particular plant number(User entered plant).
So. for this requirement I will create the one RFC function module, from that FM I create one web service and configured in SOAMANAGER and finally integrated into the adobe form.
Now my question is user enter the plant number after that user click on Submit button then the total list in the both fields will come in a drop down list for the particular plant?
Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ravi.Hi Lennart,
Here are a few comments/hints:
1. To access the data value of a form field use the rawValue attribute
2. Not sure which event you are using, try using the change event, if you are using it your script doesn't work since the updates did not happen and you are using the wrong attribute
3. the change event has an attribute newText that can be accessed as follows: xfa.event.newText
Cheers

Value drop down list control in ADOBE Form
We are on SP16 currently. We are developing an ADOBE interactive online
form using ABAP WebDynpro.
To display search help of a few fields like Vendor Number, G/L Account
Number, Cost Center, we are using 'Value Help Drop Down List' control
availalbe in WebDynpro Native group.
After the form gets loaded on the broswer, first time the search help
control works absolutely fine for any of the field. But only once. Once
one search help gets displayed, none of the other search value drop
down control gets clicked. But please note that normal drop down (with
fixed values) gets clicked and allows to choose any entry from it. It
also allows to enter values into other text box controls. Only Search
Value Drop Down list stops working.
For Example: We have 2 search help drop down list controls (one for
LIFNR and another for WERKS) and 1 drop down list control (Fixed Values
to be displayed for selection).
After form gets displayed on ABAP WebDynpro, if we click on LIFNR, the
search help for LIFNR will come and it will allow to select vendor
number from it. But after that, it doesn't allow to select WERKS nor
even to LIFNR. If we click on WERKS first, it will work perfactly fine
but then, it will not allow LIFNR or WERKS after that. In any of the
case, it will always allow to select the values from Fixed Value Drop
down list.
Please note that we dont have SAP Portal into the landscape.
Is there any bug in the control?
Please provide the solution ASAP.Hi Reema,
We are using ZCI type of form. So, I dont think there is any need to run the report for ZCI_Update.
And the display type of Interactive Form in ABAP WebDynpro is 'NATIVE' which is the same we dragged the control from (WebDynpro Native).
Is there any work around to display search helps on ADOBE Interactive forms apart of this control?
Appreciate your quick answer.
Thanks & Regardss,

Hello All,
when i am dragging a field from data to layout.
i am getting the caption and input field.
for eg: if drag and drop name field to layout....then it is displaying as 'NAME ..............'
(actaully it is showing a box, but i cant show here , so i typed dots).
but i dont want 'NAME' should appear on layout, i want only the content (for eg if NAME = 'AMAR').
i want only AMAR to be displayed not NAME AMAR.
can any one help me how to achieve this.
Thanks in advance
Best Regards,
Amarender Reddy B.Hello Amar,
When you drag data fields to your layout , you will get caption. It is the standard functionality for PDF forms.
You can double click on the caption which comes on layout. select the caption text and delete it. Drag the centre divider.
alternatively
Go to Pallets> Object>field-->captions
Just remove the text from the caption box and your job is done.
You can set the appearence as none for better view of the field.
Hope it helps you.
Regards ,

How to have multi select dropdowns for web request and adobe forms
Hi All,
I am working on interactive forms for CRM 7.0 using web request and ZCI layout.
When I say web request we define the fields required for the form in CRM that becomes the context for WDA and passed onto Adobe form.
This web request is a flat structure which mean if I have a node and attributes with in that you cant have multiple values to wards this node as in WDA.
Now My query:
I have a field called "xyz" since web request is a flat structure i just defined it as a string.
In WDA I made it a enumrated field and added key value pairs to it.
In Adobe form I binded this field to a WD native enum dropdown list every thing is fine untill here.
Now in the form I need this as a multiple select, so i changed the dropdown field to list box it works.
The form has to be submitted as a draft version when did so, it will not execute any APIs but saves the data to the web request.
When the same form is opened for the next time, with the data in web request it should reopen this field with the multiple seleced values high lighted.
since the field xyz is a single filed of string, how can i maintain multiple values in that...?
if there is a form status auto save function in Adobe form this might solve a bit but not sure when the form is opened 2nd time from web reqest view does it consider it as a new one or open the same form...?
I have such dropdown fields and problems including ones with depenedt values on one another.
I tried my best to explain the problem, if somebody can help me with this its much appriciated.
Note: Since this is dependent on CRM web request I am posting the same query in that block also apologies if this mean a duplicacy.
Thanks & Regards,

Thanks
GauravHello,
1) I am sure you didn´t search because I have answered this question many times around here. Next time seacrh first, ask later, please. That is how we do it here.
2) you must, in your options menu in LCD, allow yourself to use dynamic binding. Check the menus for the checkbox, that should help you get what you need.

Populating values to drop down list in Adobe Forms
Hi,
We have added a drop down list in our adobe form. Our requirement is Payment Terms should be displayed in this drop down list. We tried by adding values to drop down list in object palette window by using '+' sign. But now we want to display values dynamically from table T052U. We need to bring two fields ZTERM and TEXT1. We don't want to use database connection, just from a table as an importing parameter it should be appended to this list.
Atpresent, we don't want to use webdynpro or java for getting values.
Please provide suitable answers.hi,

Hi All,
I need to provide a drop down list in the Adobe form. I am calling this form from an SE38 program. I have selected the 'Value Help drop down list' element. How do i pass the value or bind the values to this element. The values for the drop down list are selected from a standard table at runtime.
I tried using Enumerated drop down list also but did not work.
Any idea????

Prakash PandeyHi ,
Thanks for posting this, saved me a lot of hassles trying to program something. One question. My values are in a nested table. e.g. I have a table with criteria for an appraisal. The criteria have a dropdown on them with a ratings. So, one appraisal, many citeria, many possible rating values. When I put in your code, e.g. $record.APPRAISAL.CRITERIA.DATA[].RATINGS.DATA[] , I get all Ratings relevant to all criteria on each line for the criteria table, not just for the criterion they belong to. How do I specify that it should only pick up the ratings for the current criterion ?
Hope my explanation makes sense

I am using Adobe Acrobat 8 on a Vista 32 system. When creating list boxes in fillable forms, the background of the list box field shows and prints in blue. Changing the appearance in the properties dialogue box has no effect. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get rid of the blue background?
Thanks in advance!
