Numeric Field in Adobe Form

Hi,
I'm trying to display a numeric field in an Adobe Form. The issue is that the decimal part of the the field is getting truncated when I view the Adobe Form in Print Preview.
The numeric field is of the form -6,213.19. In the form the value appears as -6,213.1 . I'm not able to understand why this value is getting truncated. I've tried all the numeric and decimal patters available but with no luck.
Could you please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Sandeep.

Hi
You dont specify any patterns. You just simply drag and drop the Numeric field on the layout and then right click on the field
go to Pallets -> Object -> Value tab -> here you specify your value -6,213.19.->In Binding tab -> Data format as Float. and then check the priview in PDF its printing the same as -6,213.19.
Try this once. It will work i checked it . Its working
Thanks

Write the following script at the exit event of your text field.
if ( $.rawValue == null )
then

Here TextField1 is the name of the text field.

Hide a row or field in adobe form

Hi guys,
Can any one suggest me how to hide a field in adobe form.
My scenario is:
Using control levels for deliveries with item data, if the item line is only one, then I should not display any subtotal field, if item lines are more than one, only then i need to display subtotal field in adobe form.
Subtotals are maintained at item level not at the page level.
Can any provide solution with scripting.
Thanks.
RP.

One way is have some variable which tells how many rows of data is present. Check it and then make subtotal
visible or hidden. The script will be like below.
if (rownum.rawValue == 1) then
this.presence = 'hidden'
else
this.presence = 'visible'
endif
Thanks,

Just an idea, but you might try re-printing that original PDF file to the Adobe PDF printer (saving it as another pdf file, essentially). Then try again to add form fields. (You can copy the form fields you've already created and paste them onto the new file -- just copy and paste while in forms edit mode). A second shot in the dark if the first doesn't work might be to try again, but change the print settings when printing to PDF. I've ready some reports that the dpi setting can have an effect. Maybe go from 600 to 150 and see if that works. Let me know which, if either, of these ideas works.

Dynamically change the pattern of numeric field in adobe

I am using a adobe form to display Sales order ouput.
I have a requirement that for some kind of sales order the quantity field should be displayed with 2 decimal places and for some with 4 decimal places.
So i have made the field in the form with display pattern = z,zzz,zzz,zz9.99
and writing a FromCalc script as below.
if ( z_mix eq "X" ) then
Format ("z,zzz,zzz,zz9.9999", data.MainSubform.ItemTable.ItemGroup.Items.KWMENG.value)
endif
i also tried
if ( z_mix eq "X" ) then
data.MainSubform.ItemTable.ItemGroup.Items.KWMENG.format = "z,zzz,zzz,zz9.99"
endif
The problem is i am not able to understand what statement to be used to change the format of a numeric field.
When i replace the second code with
data.MainSubform.ItemTable.ItemGroup.Items.KWMENG.presence = "hidden"
this functionality works. Which means i need to correct statement for pattern change of a numeric field.

Or if somebody can provide me with alternative solution is also welcom.
My requirement is a quanity field in the adobe form would be displaying either with 2 decimal place or 4 decimal place based on some condition.

Display pattern of numeric field in adobe reader ver 8 and 9.

I have added a text field to my form and have set the following properties:
Type: Numeric field
Limit length to visible area: checked (so that it accepts upto 9 digits)
display pattern: zzz9
data pattern: zzz9
data format: Integer
When I type "123456789" in the field, adobe reader version 7 and 9 are adding commas to the number and are displaying it as "123,456,789" while adobe reader 8 displays it the way i want "123456789"
Appreciate if someone can quickly provide some guidance here.

The issue is that the pattern that you are applying from the field cannot be applied to your input so the default pattern for numeric fields is being applied (hence the 123,456,789). If you make sure that your numeric field is set for integer (Binding tab/Data Format). Then set the display pattern to num{zzzzzzzz9}. It will work.
The default pattern is held in the XDP template. It is created based on your locale. If you click on the XML Source tab (between Preview and Master Pages - if it is not visible then you can make it visible on the View/XML Source menu)then do a serach ctrl-F for numberPattern you will see where it is defined in the template. If you modify this one then it will only be applied for this form. Any new forms will revert back to the old pattern.

Addition of fields in Adobe forms using JavaScript or FormCalc

Hi All,
I have a few amount fields in my Adobe form. I want to calculate their sum and show it in another textfield. Any ideas how this is done using JavaScript or FormCalc.???
Thanks and Regards,
Sameer

Hi Sameer,
you cant use JavaScript here in Web Dynpro. But if you want to calculate the sum through a button click that can be done through the Action Handler method.
Suppose you have 2 fields to add whichare field1 and filed2 in the context tree and the sum will be shown in field3 of context tree - all of numeric data type - obviously. So you can do the following in the action handler method.
int sum = wdContext.currentContextElement().getField1() +
wdContext.currentContextElement().getField2();
wdContext.currentContextElement().setFields3(sum);

Hiding Fields in Adobe Form

Hi,
I have some fields in my form that i want to hide. I added in some javascript into the button-click event. When previewing in the Adobe LiveCycle Designer, the fields are hidden successfully,but when i press F8 button the fields are not able to hide.
My JavaScript is:
if(this.rawValue == null)
this.presence = "hidden";
Thanks.

Hi,
you can use as below,
below Scripting can be used to ahcive this.
1. FormCalc Scripting.
2. JavaScript.
Combination of both is also allowed in same form.
Example:
if( hasValue($) ) then
StaticText1.presence eq u2018visibleu2019
Else
StaticText1.presence eq u2018hiddenu2019
Endif.
Thanks,

Setting Image field in adobe form

Hello Gurus,
I have a question setting the image field dynamically.
I have created a following context structure for
DataSource(ValueNode Cardinality (1..1))->imagenode(Valuenode Cardinalty(0..n))->image(Value attribute))
I have binded the Datasource node to the Datasource of the interactive form.
I have dynmaically created the imagenode and set the value for the image.
for(int i=1;i<5;i++)
         image= wdContext.createIImagenodeElement();
                          if(i==1)
                         image.setImage("http://Image1.png");
          if(i==2)
          image.setImage("http://Image2.png");
          if(i==3)
          image.setImage("http://Image3.png");
          if(i==4)
          image.setImage("http://Image4.png");
          wdContext.nodeImagenode().addElement(image);
Now I want to set this node to the image field in adobe.
In URL of the image field I have enterted $record.imagenode[*].image and its not working where as the same thing works for text field.
Please let me know if any one has any idea on this.
Thanks,

Hi Naresh,
Copy the images to src -> mimes - > Components of your development component / project.
To the value node set the url like the following way ...
http://<hostname>:<port number>/webdynpro/resources/image.gif
Thanks

Can I insert a signature field in adobe forms??

- Using a template in adobe forms and wonder if I can collect a signature ID?

Formscentral does not support a signature field type at this time. If you need a signature you might look at our Echosign product or perhaps creating and distributing your form in Acrobat.

Percentage field in Adobe forms

Hi
I have a requirement to display a percentage field with 2 decimal places in an Adobe form e.g. 75.00%.
The field has been declared as type ANZHL (DEC Length=7 Decimals=2) in a data dictionary structure.
When debugging the controlling program and the actual function module generated for the form itself the contents of the field is 75.00.
In the layout of the form the field has been created as a Decimal field with Display pattern and Data pattern of num{zzzz9.zz%}.
However, when the form is previewed or printed the field is displayed as 7500%.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
Thanks

Hello
I know this is quite old topic, but for future reference another solution is to use '%' in the pattern.
For example:
you have decimal value 75.00,
- when using pattern num{zz.99%}, it will output 7500%
- when using pattern num{zz.99 '%'}, it will output % as a string, and the whole output will be 75.00 %
So in second case you don't need any extra (floating or text) field to have percentage in.

Update fields from Adobe Form to Table

Hello,
I want to integrate Adobe Form into Webdynpro ABAP Application in which I want to have 2 fields which need to be updated to a DB Table.
For this first I created an Interface in Transaction SFP , added 2 import parameters of type <Table Type>-<FieldName>. Then I created a Webdynpro Component created a new I Interactive Form UI Element and binded the Context of the Form to the Interface.
Then I added 2 fields to the form from Data View . Everything is fine but when I run the Webdynpro Application the fields are not available for Input.i.e. They are in the ReadOnly Mode.
The 'enabled' property of the Interactive Form is checked.
Please help.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Edited by: SAPEPDeveloper on Feb 7, 2011 11:45 PM

Hi,
The process explained is ok, but I can explain you a better way.
1) Create the webDynpro Component first.
2) Create the context nodes as per the requirement.
3) From the 'integration' panel drag and drop the Interactive form UI element into the view.
4) Bind dataSource to root context node.
5) Check enabled property true.
6) Give a template source name (ZName).
7) On double clicking the template source, system will prompt you to enter the interface name. Map context node to the interface.
8) Interface gets created automatically and the lifecycle designer gets opened.
9) Goto the properties tab and give layout type as 'ZCI Layout'
10) Drag and drop required fields from the data view to the layout designer.
11) Insert webdynpro script from the Utilities
12) Edit -> Form Properties -> Defaults -> XDP Preview Format should be dynamic
13) Drag and drop 'Submit Button' from Library palette -> Webdynpro native controls
On clicking the submit button at runtime you will get the control in the webdynpro submit event.
Above all these you have to check with your basis team, that the 'usage credentials' have been applied while configuring the ADS. Go to SE38 and run the program 'FP_TEST_IA_01' and check whether it is giving an error message or not.
Hope this Helps.
Thanks & Regards,

Setting a Text field in adobe form non editable

Hi Experts,
I have generated a Adobe form using webdynpro java. I have couple text fields. They are binded with some values which a RFC returns. When I see the output These text fiels values which are populated from backend are editable. Can anyone suggest me how to make these text fields non editable.
Thanks,
Raj

Hi Raj,
You have to set the properties of these text field as readonly.
For this you have to select the text field ... Go to the Object Pallete.
There you will see three Tabs Field, Value and Binding.
You have to click on Value Tab and there you have select the Type as Read Only.
If you do not have Object Pallet open .. go to Menu Bar Window and Click Object
This will solve your problem.
Cheers
