Not a nested form, but a form within a form??

Hello, all.
I've been given a task to add a file upload form to a page whereby all of the contents of the page are already contained within a form. I know that it is not possible to nest form tags; however, would it be possible to place an iFrame within the form that contained another form, without being considered nested, and without screwing up the original form?
Or would it be better to just place the iFrame in a div outside the form, and keep it hidden until called upon?
I suppose that I _could_ just use a JavaScript popup to use another form; but if I can avoid that AND get this to work, that would be preferred.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
^_^

Yes, you can place a separate form within an iframe. However, as Ian points out, the problem you'll have is a UX problem - how will you synchronize the submission of data between the two forms? I'm sure you can get where you want to get, but you'll definitely need to spend a bit more time testing this part.

I have an 100 infopath forms, but next month all infopath forms certifications get expires.

Hi All,
i have an 100 infopath forms, but next month all infopath forms certifications get expires.
For re-certification i want to re-publish all the infopath forms.
Now, is there any way to re-certification all the forms with out re-publish.
Thanks in advance!

I think here is the simplest way I can think of.
1. Open Infopath library in windows explorer.
2. Renew all your certifications using this tool. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/8s9b9yaz(v=VS.80).aspx

Resize called form but maintain size of calling form

Hi,
From my main menu I call Form B.
Form B has only 4 items and a menu (DEFAULT&SBAR) is attached to this form. The form B when called is about the size of a $1 bill or £5 note.
The mdi window in which Form B is contained is about the same size. Just enough to "hug" Form B.
The problem is that when I exit Form B the main form (Calling form (menu)) resizes to the same size as the called form (Form b).
Not sure what is causing this. Does anyone know maybe ?
Thanks.
N.

You can add a WHEN-FORM-NAVIGATE trigger to the calling form to resize it's window. This trigger will fire whn the called form is close and the calling for is re-activated.
Here's an example of a trigger I used in a calling form.
IF :global.maximize = 'Y'
THEN SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW, WINDOW_STATE, MAXIMIZE);
SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY('KING_CANVAS', WINDOW_STATE, MAXIMIZE);
ELSE SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW, WINDOW_SIZE, 580, 365);
SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY('KING_CANVAS', WINDOW_STATE, MAXIMIZE);
END IF;

Creating Editabe Forms but saving as fixed non-form pdf

I am trying to create a PDF for a client that has 2 editable forms. They want to be able to open the pdf, add info to the 2 form fields but then save the pdf as a fixed, uneditable pdf (no text boxes, no purple bar at the top, etc)
What is the best way to do this?
Thanks.

Other users that get the file will still be able to edit them. Reader users cannot change that.
Provided they have acrobat, as long as they were altered to add reader rights they might be able to fill in new blancks they would be able to save the new information. They could fill them and print them but nothing else.
Go to
Document > background choose add. click on color
choose white. the set opaciy to 1% apply.
Next go to adavnced > Print Production > Flatner Preview
click on apply
save as new file.
won't be able to add or take anything away or edit.

Can I port content from one pdf form to another, from within the form fields?

WE have been given a seasonal update to our pdf forms - with one new additional form field. Is there a way that I can port all the content from my ready filled form into this new one, without having to copy and paste each individual field?
Thanks.

What is it that you want to do
- you are the form filler; you want to keep the contents of a filled in form (and put them back into a changed form)?
- you are the person responsible for adding/changing form fields; you want to keep the design and location of the form fields while changing the underlying PDF?
- both of these?

Compiled and trying to deploy a form - an error when calling the form

Hi!
I used to deal with Forms 6i and I'm quite new to 10g.
Is it enough to just replace an .fmx file on the server?
We have a software product written on Forms 10g which is running on our server.
I found where working .fmx files are located on the server.
I also found which seems to be the source files.
My actions:
1) Selected one of the forms and compiled it in Bulder 10g successfully.
2) Replaced an .fmx file with one which I had comiled.
3) In user interface, press the button which calls my form, but nothing happens. The form is not created. No error messages.
4) Put the original .fmx back - and everyting works: after pressing the button the form starts.
What's wrong? Improper way of compilation or deployment?
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanking in advance,
Roman

Thank you, Christian!
You are right!
According to my last test, when I try to call the form directly from the url (via parameter form=myform.fmx), I get the following:
1) With the orginal myform.fmx, the form starts
2) With the form compiled by me, I get error: "Cannot read form myform.fmx"
Though the file names are identical, the file compiled on windows doesn't go.
P. S.
Nevertheless, that's weird for me: I supposed that since Forms 10g is based on Java, the compilation must be platform-independent.
Edited by: Roman Churakov on 20.01.2012 1:58I think you have just a problem with upper/lowercase.
.) ensure your fmx is exactly myform.fmx
I am not sure but I think you get this message also if there is a wrong attached-library-name in the source.
So if its still not working convert the fmb to text (file->convert...), check if the libraries are attached correctly (case sensitive on UX/LX) the libs are visible in the first lines, check if some libs are attached multiple times, correct that stuff, and convert back from text to fmb.
Hope that helps!

Can I use this DIR-635 to extend the WiFi network of the "Belgacom" WiFi?
To answer this question correctly, a user would need to have a DIR-635 router connected by Ethernet to a Belgacom router.
If you think about it, the chances of another user who has these two same devices configured this way and also being on an Apple support forum to see your post are about zero.
The following might work, but you will not know until you try.
Configure the DIR-635 to provide a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name, exact same wireless security and exact same password as the Belgacom wireless router. Make sure that the DIR-635 is configured in Bridge Mode.
Can I purchase and set-up an Apple Airport Express or Apple Airport Extreme on my level 1 (the ethernet cable running from level 2 to level 1 could plug-into either of those)
The AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme would need to be configured exactly the same way as mentioned above.
(What is the difference in the 2 -- one is about twice the price of the other…)

Hi
Jalil Cracker,
>>when user pres n then it must go to a form but error arises and not working good and threading is not respondin
Could you post the error information? And which line caused this error？
If you want to show Form1, you can use form.show() method
Form1 frm = new Form1();
frm.Show();
In addition, Cosmos is an acronym for C# Open Source Managed Operating System. This is not Microsoft product.If the issue is related to Cosmos, it would be out of our support. Thanks for your understanding. And you need raise an issue at Cosmos site.

Webutil - works in the form but not in the forms menu

Hi
Forms: 11.1.1.3
Dbs: 11.2.0.2
I have some code which calls webutil to do an AS to client file transfer.
This works fine when called from a button in the form.
If I have a menu on this form, and perform the same code to call webutil I get an error:
oracle.forms.webutil.fileTransfer.FileTransfer bean not found WEBUTIL_FILE_TRANSFER.getMaxTransfer will not work
So the same code will work when in the body of the form but not when in the menu.
The forms has opened up and instantiated all of its objects at both times I try to run it. But it fails from the menu code call.
Any thoughts on why one works and the other doesn't gratefull received.
cheers
Tony

Hi Tony
We also had the problem.
solution:
We have created a wrapper-form with in the webutil functionality has been implemented (with a dummy-Item).
In the form we have created a When-Timer-Expired trigger and implemented the Filetransfer functionality. Then Exit_Form.
This wrapper-form was then called from the menu.

Am signed in to Adobe and trying to edit a form. Can pull up form but it will not allow me to edit the form. What am I doing wrong?

To elaborate on what Sukrit posted, it is likely that the form is not an Acrobat forum but a Designer form or was set for distribution and is locked for editing. I suspect it was probably created in Designer and thus can only be completed in Acrobat or Reader since the PDF is really container for and XML structure and does not have the basics of a PDF document. If that is the case, you either need Designer or you can print to a new PDF and use the field recognition feature of Acrobat to recreate the form. Of course, the latter will require some editing to the form fields in most cases.

I want to get the data of a table inside the Form but it is not passed

I want to get the data of a table inside the Form but it is not passed to the form by tables parameters.
How can I do this.

If there is a problem with defining it globaly, you can define a field symbol globably and point to it. For example. It would probably be better to define your table globably.
report zrich_0003 .
field-symbols: <imarc> type marc_upl_tt.
start-of-selection.
perform get_data.
*       FORM get_data                                                 *
form get_data.
data: imarc type table of marc with header line.
select * from marc into table imarc up to 10 rows.
assign imarc[] to <imarc>.
perform write_data.
endform.
*       FORM write_data                                               *
form write_data.
data: xmarc type marc.
loop at <imarc> into xmarc.
    write: / xmarc-matnr, xmarc-werks.
endloop.
endform.

Dynamic xml pdf form, but actions not allowed

I have built a form and would like to make the users aware that some fields are compulsory. With the validation I only see American options for postcode or telephone. When I create my own example it is not accepted (disappears). Actions can't be added as it states that it will not work with HTML, but I have not set that in.
Users must be able to download form from site or receive it in e-mail, fill it in and print it (they need to sign it, so online submission is not practical)
I use Windows 7 - Adobe LiveCycle 2010
The form is set for The Netherlands
Could someone tell me if the countrysetting have anything to do with it or where else I might have gone wrong?

Not a nested form, but a form within a form??
