Open personal form WITHOUT menuclicked

Hy all,
I need to open a (sub)form when I push a button on my (main)form. You can open this easy using
B1Connections.theAppl.ActivateMenuItem("AONE_SUBTOTALEN")
but then you need to add a menuitem in your mainmenu.
Is there a way you can open a subform without this menuitem or can you make this menuitem invisible?
thanks,
Joeri

Hi Joerie,
If it is a system form you can just call the ActivateMenuItem code, but if it's one of your own forms, you can load the form from XML and it will be displayed without needing a menu item.
Hope it helps,
Adele

Opening system forms without menu

Hi All,
Does there exist code to open a system form, like the Production Order, without activating the menu item that calls it? For example, I would like to open a production order form with a given instance? The reason for this is that I need to open the form and then load it with a specific production order. Because it is possible for there to be any number of production order forms open simultaneously at any given time, I need to know the exact form I had just opened in order to load it.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
it's possible, I guess.
But you have to the actual operation of opening form and finding production order by addon.
You can use 'activate menuitem' clause, first.
then you should enter the number of the production order which you want to open to the order number field in number field. (you can do it via handling UI items.) then use the 'click' method of the item number "1". it's generally possible. I did it sometimes.
Hope this useful for you.

How can I close an Open PDF form without crashing the browser

Hi
We have build a webdynpro application in Java. In this application, we are make using of the Interactive form to bring up a PDF form that the users can print. Our issue is that no matter what approach we take there is no gracefull way to exit once the PDF is displayed.
Here are the approaches we took.
1) Embed the PDF in the existing Window. The form comes up correctly with all fields, but there is no way to get out from it. A browser back doesnt help, nor is there a default close button in the PDF window.
2) Bring up the PDF on a separate window.The PDF does come up fine on this new window. We were hoping to use the window.destroyInstanece() method on this new window to both close the window and gracefully exit the PDF form. This too dint quite work out and resulted in a browser crash.
I am sure others must have faced a similar problem. Are there any suggestions on how we can handle this. I found a few other posts with similar issues but no clear answers.
We are using Adobe 7.0.9 Reader on the client end.
Regards
Aju Paul

I have been working with Aju on this issue. We are still experiencing the issue.
We have tried using the destroyWindow() method and using a fireplug to redirect the application. When we have an Interactive form embedded on one of the views in the window, the application will cause a browser crash when we try to destroy popup window or redirect the applicaiton.
If we remove the Interactive form from the view, we can destroy the window and we can redirect the application. The problem only occurs when the Interactive form is present.
We have recently upgraded our server to SP10. I have also reloaded the ACF on my pc. Neither of the steps resolved the issue. What else can we look at to see what may be causing the issue.
Thanks.....Tommy Knight

How to open new form with set value

I have two forms CLIENT and ORDERS who are connected by "client_id" in a one to many relationship [one client can have many orders]. What code to I put in the button so that that when I click on it from the CLIENT table, it goes to the ORDERS form with just the orders that match that "client_id"? The application is in oracle 9i developer using swing.
Here's what I have so far, code to open the form without the binding
//Open Order Form
FormIcdClientApplicationView frameTarget = new FormOrderApplicationView(getPanelBinding());
frameTarget.setVisible(true);
// Close this window
this.setVisible(false);

Japanese font package being required for form without Japanese

I created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro using (as far as I know) all English characters. I saved the form and am now trying to open it on another computer that has Acrobat Reader X. The error message I'm receiving is "A font package is required to correctly display this page. Click OK to direct your browser to download the add-on from adobe.com...." The font package that it wants me to load is Japanese. Once I load that font pack, the form opens without any problems.
I'm not the only one having this problem, others who are trying to open the form are experiencing the same difficulty.
So, why does Reader think my form contains Japanese fonts, and how do I get rid of them so others can open the form without having to install a font package?
Thanks!

As far as I can see, there are no asian characters there. Here are the fonts listed:
BellGothicStd-Bold
FuturaBT-BoldCondensed
FuturaBT-Book
FuturaBT-BookItalic
FuturaBT-Light
FuturaBT-LightItalic
Helvetica
KozMinPr6N-Regular
ZaphDingbats
ZaphDingbatsItCbyBT-Regular
Thanks again!

Acrobat 9.4.4 crashes when open PDF forms

We are currently rollout out a Win7 imange and using Microsoft Configuration Manager's task sequence to install Acrobat 9.4.4. to the image. Acrobat works fine when opening regular PDF file. However, Acrobat crashes everytime when opening a PDF form. Our current workaround is repair Acrobat. Once its completed, Acrobat can open PDF forms without any problems. But, the repair takes ~20mins, I am seeking for a easier solution or perhap fix the installation in the image.
I reached out to our Acrobat Platinum support, my call was rerounted 3 times and I was on the phone more than 3 hours. No one wants to take my call and start troubleshoot. Very frustrated. Greatly appreciated for any suggestions and advice. Thank you.

If you want to edit a word document then you will need an app on your iPad that supports word so that you can copy them to it via 'open in' e.g. Apple's Pages app or a third-party app such as Documents To Go or QuickOffice HD

I created a pdf form and then imported it to Forms Central for distribute. It is now loaded to my website and setup so a person clicks on the link to open the form. At this point they then have to go to upper right to open form using a different view. I would like the form to open directly in Adobe Reader form to make it easier to enter information. Thanks, Ike

If you created it in Forms Central, you have to edit it there. I believe Forms Central is similar to LiveCycle Designer in that the form created is no longer able to be edited in Acrobat. I might be wrong, but that is my understanding. You add the submit button in Forms Central. Within Acrobat, you should be able to go to the forms menu and Manage Data to save the data to an Excel file. Others better with forms should be by to clarify things, but this should get you started. In the future you might find it better to post a forms question in the forms discussions.

Select user action without opening the form

Environment is: LiveCycle ES2.5 Turnkey install Express Mode. Windows, JBoss, MySQL.
Browser IE w/ Reader-X.
At a User Task, it has a few User Actions (such as "Approve", "Reject"),
how do I allow the user to activate/select one of those actions (while he is in the WorkSpace) without forcing him to open the form?
I remember those User Actions used to show up in the To-Do list's "card", but somehow I don't see them anymore.
What do I need to do to get them show up in the "Card" ?
TIA

I found it. It's under the "List" view, not on the "Card".... I thought it was on the Card in previous version...

Open an Infopath form without infopath

A customer is sending a infopath form to my office only some of the people are able to open the form, none of us have infopath.
the form was written in InfoPath 2010, the users using windows 7 with MS Office 2007 are able to open the form. The users windows 7 and Office 2013 are not able to open the form. the problem is the users with office 2013 are the ones that need
to open the form. How do I get the form to open without having InfoPath?

What error are they encountering?
If you have SharePoint Enterprise, you can use Infopath Form Services, which lets you open Infopath in the browser on a SharePoint site.

Webutil and time to open a form from server (forms ver 10.1.2.0.2)

Hi,
we have an application which uses webutil in some forms and 50 users in a lan with microsoft I.E. browser xp (patch 2 or 3) .
All the users when run url of forms without webutil have the same time to open the applications, instead when the forms use webutil 5 users have to wait long time before to access to the application (after all works fine and fast)
For others users (45) the time is the same.
Besides we install in one of these problematic client the developer suite to try the local A.S. and we wonder that the forms with webutil open quickly in local pc.
Therefore we have 50 clients and :
-- 50 clients open quickly the forms without webutil in the lan .
-- 45 clients open quickly also the forms with webutil in the lan
-- 5 clients open very slowly the forms with webutil in the lan (after they work fine) and they open quickly the same forms with webutil in local AS (devsuite) . They use I.E. 7 and have patch 3 of xp
We tried to disable antivirus,microsoft firewall but nothing has changed .
What could be the problem ?

Im currently trying to take all the validation out of the mail script and do it in the html page itself.
Bad choice. Client-side form validation isn't secure and it does not work if JavaScript is disabled. A fair number of people turn off JavaScript or use one of the No-Scripts Add-ons in their browsers for perceived security reasons.
Don't forget, spam bots don't use JavaScript either so they will penetrate your forms without missing a beat.
Server-side validation is very reliable. And if your script is built properly, it can stop robot submissions and exploitation of your forms which is very important these days.

I'm selling my Macbook Pro 17" that i have upgraded to Snow Leopard but I no longer have the disks because I gave them to the person who bought my iMac. Is there a way to erase all my personal info without having to resort to wiping off the whole HD?

I no longer have the Snow leopard disks so I can't just reload the OS but I told the person I sold the MBP to that it has SL on it so I don't want to wipe it off. Is there a way to remove my personal info without resorting to reloading the software again?

Open Accounts preferences. Click on the lock icon to authenticate. Click on the Add [-] to create a new user account. Give the new account admin status. Set the account for auto-login then restart the computer. The computer should boot into the new user account. Open Accounts preferences, click on the lock icon to authenticate. Select your old account and click on the Delete [-] button. Select the third option to remove the user folder and also check the option to securely erase. If given the option to select the number of passes select one pass only. This should remove your data from any prying eyes.
