ListBox control in Adobe forms

Hello experts,
I have Adobe Interactive Form where I'd like to design standard Adobe List Box control having some predefined enumeration for list of items in it. On time of  submission of the form the following XML is sent by Adobe Acrobat Reader where 'ClassificationList' is a name of my ListBox.
<form1>
<Name>x</Name><Description>x</Description><ClassificationList /><ClassificationList xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/" xfa:dataNode="dataGroup" />
<ClassificationList xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/" xfa:dataNode="dataGroup" />
<ClassificationList><value>cat22</value></ClassificationList>
</form1>
Is there any possibility to avoid representation of 'ClassificationList' field in XFA format, but sent the field as field 'Name' is sent? I.e. in form of merged selected text box items into plain text. For example, 'selectedItem1; .. ;selectedItemN'.
Why does not the PDF send just something like this '<ClassificationList>cat22</ClassificationList>' for the ListBox?
BR, Sergei

Hi Sandipan,
In Wd ABAP scenario, SAP is not supporting dynamically created rows from adobe forms. It will accept a single row only. We can overcome this situvation in 2 ways.
1. Make the "Add Row" button as a submit button. Each time when you add a row in adobe form, save the row in R/3. It can cause performance issues.
2. At the time of form download, it should contain an invisible table with n no: of rows. Just before submit, enter the values in the dynamic rows into the invisible table. At R/3 end, you will get all values from that table.
Thanks & Regards,

  • Interactive table control in Adobe forms

    Dear gurus,
      I am trying to create an interactive table control with header. The table control will have 10 rows, and I want the users to be able to enter values into the table.
    I created a new node with cardinality 0...n; and added attributes under it. The I dragged that onto my design view and made duplicate entries of the rows to get 10 rows under the header.
    Now the issues I am having are
    1) The table is not visible in preview Pdf; I tried to save and activate the form, but still appears to be invisible
    2) For some strange reason the table control in adobe forms is not as flexible as the one in webdynpro, where it is easier to bind the fields and send / recieve data from the interface.
    ~thanks and appreciate any comments.

    when your cardinality is 0..n you won't see it in preview mode.. you need to launch it from your dynpro & you will see it.
    Also, if you know you're going to have 10 rows all the time, why not make the cardinality 1...n?
    Nevertheless, I personallly wouldn't create the table in this method.
    I would create the table in Web dynpro, add a column called "SeqNo" or whatever and pre-populate that field with 1 - 10. When you drag/drop your table from your Data View, just rt-click that column and hide it so your users won't see that field.
    You'll have 10 rows displayed to the user each time and you won't worry about having to bind anything since it'll be done automagically.

  • Version Control for adobe forms

    Dear All,
    We have a situation where we already go live with version 0 of our adobe form. Now, we have an enhancement to the form i.e.: some new functionalities and new field. Previously we have tried to transport the new changes to the production without any version control and those processes that have been already started prior to the new changes encounter error when the user continues the process.
    I am wondering how do the version control works and any documentation on how to configure it?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Brian,
    Here is some information that I found in the IMG on Create ISR Scenario...
    Create ISR Scenario
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you create an ISR scenario that has a one-to-one relationship with a form scenario. To be able to use a form scenario in a process, one ISR scenario must exist for each form scenario. The ISR scenario and the form scenario must be linked with each other. You make this setting in Customizing for HR Administrative Services in the IMG activity Link ISR Scenario with Form Scenario.
    In the form scenario, you define primarily the basic set of form fields and their processing through the backend services. In the ISR scenario, you specify the definition of the user interface. You also specify which form is used for the display and how the layout of this interactive form is designed. You use interactive forms based on Adobe software to create and process the forms.
    ISR scenarios and form scenarios are version dependent. The version numbers of the ISR scenario are assigned automatically. Note that a form scenario must have exactly the same version as the linked ISR scenario. For this reason, you should always create a new version in the ISR scenario first and then use the same version number when you create a version in the form scenario manually.
    Note
    If an ISR scenario or form scenario (with an existing version) has already been used in a productive process, you should not change the configuration. If you want to make changes to a process or an ISR scenario or form scenario, you should always create a new version, and only ever use that new version in the future. In this way, processes that have been started can be concluded with the old version and new processes can be started simultaneously with the new version.
    This is from the Create Form Scenario documentation...
    Create version
    Form scenarios are version dependent, which means that there is at least one version of each form scenario. Versions are linked with processes. Since processes can vary, you must also be able to adjust the associated scenarios. To be able to provide different forms for process variants, you create versions.
    You can still process and change an existing version at a later point in time. Once a version has been used to execute a process, you should not make any more changes to this version; instead, you should create a new version.
    The form scenario and the (linked) ISR scenario are both version dependent. They must always have exactly the same version numbers. Note that the version number of the ISR scenario is generated and cannot be entered manually. When you create a new version in the form scenario, you therefore have to use the version number generated in the ISR scenario.
    If you have already made extensive Customizing settings for the form scenario and want to create a new version based on the settings, you should use the IMG activity Manage Form Scenario.
    Hope this helps...
    Cheers,
    Kevin

  • Tab control in Adobe forms

    Hello,
    Is it possible to have a tabstrip control like the one which we have in module pool where we group set of fields under one tab in case of adobe form ?
    thanks

    Hello Sneha,
    I have used buttons as tabstrips , i am not able to paste the source code .However, all you have to do is :
    1. Place 2 buttons say btn1 and btn2, one having a dark color and other a lighter color.
    2. Place two subforms say sf1 and sf2.sf1 has content of first tab , and sf2 has content of second tab.
    3. By default btn1(darker color) & sf1 will be visible.
    4. On click of btn2 , interchange the color of buttons & visibilty of subforms.
    I hope the above statements suffice.If you want the whole source code just contact at virag.shinde(@)lntinfotech.com

  • 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,

  • Dynamic table control in adobe forms

    Vinita,
    You will need to use the addInstance method. For example try looking the Purchase Order form which may be stored at this location on ur PC.

  • Adobe Forms - Table control data Saved in Database table through Web Dynpro

    Hello Friends,
    I Am facing a Problem in Adobe Forms through Web Dynpro.
    i Want to Make Interactive online Adobe Forms - In Table Control user enter the multiple entry in the table control and after that Click on SAVE button , entry will saved in Database table.
    Please guide me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Gaurav.

    Hi Gaurabh,
    For interactive form you have to check the property DisplayType = native and PdfSource should be a Context Attribute of type 'Xstring'.
    For data retrieval, create a NODE and have all the required attributes within that node of AOBE form.
    Fetch the data in WDDOINIT.
    Also check, that the offline senario for this form is working.
    Hope it helps you.

  • Adobe form Error "Memory protection fault in OLE container control"

    Hi,
       I am getting the error "Memory protection fault in OLE container control" while trying to open the layout tab of adobe forms.
      I am getting this error for all the adobe forms.Please let me know the solution.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks,
    Nuthan.

    I can reproduce this error consistently.. This is how: Install Microsoft SQL Server 2008.
    As soon as I remove SQL 2008 the error went away. Adobe LiveCycle Designer was invoked via OLE2 interface. Apparently SQL Server 2008 (as in my case or some other applications in your case) modified the way OLE2 behaves and therefore causes this error.

  • Eventing on the ADOBE form controls.

    Hello Experts,
    I have a requirement where I need to populate some fields of my ADOBE form based on a value selected from the dropdown in the same form.
    Lets say I have a dropdown DD1 on my form and I have other 3 input fields namely Input1, 2 and 3. Now when I select any value from DD1, I need to call an RFC (or Webservice) and populate return values in input fields.
    1. How is it doable?
    2. Can I implement this for offline forms?
    Do not worry about reward points, you will get it for every valuable input.
    Thank you.

  • Expand/Collaps Control in Adobe LiveCycle Desinger Forms.

    Is there a control in LC Forms to allow Expand/Collaps of a repeating subform elements ?
    Basically, I want to hide/show a list of elements (repeating subform) using a Control that looks like "+" (expand) and "-" (collaps).
    How to implement this feature ?
    Tarek.

    WOW ... this is very nice .
    I like your idea about using special font to get this effect.
    This is the code I am using for Click Event:
    if (sfAttendancesItem._sfTimeEvents.count != 0) {
         var cmdExpandToggleCaption = this.caption.value.resolveNode("#text")
         if (cmdExpandToggleCaption.value == "u") {
              sfTimeEvents.presence="visible";
              cmdExpandToggleCaption.value = "q"
         } else {
              sfTimeEvents.presence="hidden";
              cmdExpandToggleCaption.value= "u"
    And, this is the code I am using for the Initialize Event on the parent subform:
    this.sfTimeEvents.presence="hidden";
    if ( this.sfTimeEvents._sfTimeEventsItem.count == 0) {
      this.cmdExpandToggle.presence="invisible";
    And ... it worked.
    Thank you so much for the cool idea.
    Could you please give a link for all your sample work ... I am sure I am missing a lot.

  • How to print page numbers in adobe form

    Hi,
    Can anybody tell me how to print page numbers in adobe form.
    Thanks in advance
    Chaitanya

    Hi,
    Yes the field page n of m is used normally for printing page numbers. But it won't display the current page of total pages by itself. You have to set the run time property to n (current page ) and m (Total number of pages). Carefully select the # (current page ) and ## (Total number of pages). Hope this works for you.
    My requirement is to have the user control on current page. For Example:
    Example for a Invoice with 5 PO items (stands on 2 pages) :
    1st  page is the letter : no page number
    2nd page is the 1st page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
    3rd page is the 2nd page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
    4th page is the 1st page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
    5th page is the 2nd page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
    Presently i cam getting the current page number for page 4th as 3 / 2 and for 5th page 4 / 2. I could able to control the total number of pages from print program. But when i am printing the second copy (4th and 5th pages), I couldn't able to control the current page number. I need to initialize the Current page count (4th page ) as 1.
    I have used the follwing java scripting:
    this.rawValue = wv_pages - xfa.layout.page(this)
    where wv_pages is total no of pages calculated from print program.
    Please help me in this regard with some formcal or java scripting conditions.
    Thank You,
    Regards,
    Naresh.
