Optimization of form 5.0

Hi all,
i have to optimize a form created woth forms 5.0. I there any hint where i could get standards on form optimisation? Also is it more appropriate to create a procedure in pl/sql on the db and call it in the form or create a program unit in the form itself?
My form is calling another form on when nxt blk with a call_form call. i have identified that this is where it takes more time... is there an alternative way to do that? ( i guess not)
Thanks

My first question, Is ur pl-sql code specific to this form only. If yes, then you can put it in form itself. Else make it to reside in DB.
Secondly, there should be any such performance issues of using call_form unlessh you have some validation trigers written at block level which fires while moving to different blocks and calling the form..
You need to understand the process of what all things happen when a form is run.. i.e. process of execution when form is loaded.
Cheers.... Bob

  • After I create a form can I optimize (shrink the size) it?

    After I create a form (using Adobe X Pro/Live Cycle) can I reduce size of the form before releasing it for general use? I know how to optimize a pdf I fill in... this is before that, while the form is being created... The form I created is just over 1 MG and our procurement system doesn't allow attachments that size (and the user base isn't that Adobe sophisticated to be able to optimize the form on their own).
    thanks
    Mark.

    If you are using LiveCycle (Designer), you need will need to ask in the LiveCycle forum. However, for Designer forms you have a container of XML elements, not really the original PDF. So I do not think that any reduction can be done in Acrobat.

    Two areas to check
    1)  Are you using images?  If so verify that you've optimized the size of the image before adding it to the form
    2)  Are you embedding fonts?  If the fonts are commonly installed on the users system don't embed the fonts

  • Distributing Forms in LiveCycle using Acrobat 9

    I have created a four page form with flowable subforms and calculated fields.  The form works fine in preview but for some reason I can't get it to distribute.  The final form is anywhere from 1 to 4 pages depending on the options the user selects/needs.
    I can get the response file to generate but when it starts the distribute process it hangs up and then will not respond.  I have am working on a network environment and have tried two different computers to get the form to work.
    I have gone back through the whole form and set all the form field options to limit the length of characters in each field to try to optimize the form performance. 
    Any suggestions?

    I would guess that Acrobat Pro isn't compatible with Safri 4.0.3 yet, and perhaps even 10.6, but only Adobe really knows, so you'd be better off asking them. If it's not, I'm sure they'll release a patch or update of some kind after 10.6 ships.
    If I were you, I'd uninstall the portion of Acrobat that normally works with Safari to render PDF files and use the built-in rendering abilit of Safari itself. Not only is that simpler, but Acrobat Pro is a huge memory hog.

  • How can I manipulate structure tags in LiveCycle XML form

    Have a form that was created in LiveCycle by another company. 
    Need to make it a flat, tagged, PDF, i.e., to look like the form but not have actual fields.
    It has structure tags, but they're not acceptable, and in Acrobat I'm unable to manipulate them.
    When I go to LiveCycle and look at PDF Structure tags, it just has this message: "PDF Structure can only be used in PDF forms that contain artwork."
    When I try to optimize the form fields away in Acrobat, it says "This PDF document contains an Adobe XML form. Such files cannot be optimized"
    Any ideas?  Thanks in advance!

    Had to keep moving with this, hopefully someone will come up with a better solution, here's how I got a flat PDF: saved the form as encapsulated postscript, then in Windows Explorer right-clicked on the *.eps files and converted to PDF ... had to delete the useless tags that were created during that process, retagging manually ... but it's giving me what I need. I was surprised at no loss of resolution, and all the text is taggable.

  • Behaviour JRE1.6 with Forms services compare to Jinitiator

    Hi,
    I want to optimize oracle forms traffic on the Wan through Wan optimization appliances.
    The customer OracleAS 10G R2.
    The constraint is that he wants to use JRE1.6 with http or https communication modes.
    I know that services forms exchanges are encrypted in RC4-40bits which isn't a problem
    for the wan accelerator equipments.
    But i have heard that JRE doesn't behave like Jinitiator because it maintains a session
    between the Java Machine and the Oracle listener which prevents the optimization
    to work.
    So i would like to know if there is a real difference between Jinitiator and JRE1.6
    in the exchanges between Client and Server.
    Best regards.
    Andre

    This seems to be a very specific question regarding the Application Server, you would probably increase your chances to get a response if you post the question in Application Server forum.

  • Form runs slow

    Lets say I have a form with a ton of objects in it.  Do they all initialise on the load?  Is there a way to avoid it?
    Also, it there something out there to help optimize a form?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Adobe also have a guide for improving performance here...http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/DynamicInteractiveFormPerformance.pdf
    One tip we got was that all of the calculate events fire when the form opens and is re-laid / re-rendered. We "try" to have calculations on the exit event rather than the calculate event, on the basis that the exit event is not processed until the user exits that field.
    It would be interesting to hear views on this.
    Good luck,

  • Acrobat X font question

    I've created a simple fill-in form. Somehow, I ended up with two versions. One uses the Arial and Arial Bold font, the other the Helvetica and Helvetica Bold font. Given the same input, the fill in with Arial/Arial Bold is much larger - one page is about 500 meg versus about 150 meg for Helvetica. I don't care what font is used, but by the time I realized the issue there were hundreds filled in.
    I stumbled across the issue when I tried to "optimize" the forms, and did an "Audit Space Usage". the Arial/Arial Bold PDF has the font as about 72% of the file size, while the Helvetica/Helvetica Bold has the font as using about 1 1/2% of the file size.
    I would like to either convert the completed forms to Helvetica/Helvetica Bold or somehow reduce the font size (if possible). Any help or input would be greatly appreciated.

    When you select a font for a form field that is not one of the base-14 (Helvetica, Times, Courier, etc.) that are guaranteed to be available (or a suitable replacement) with Reader/Acrobat, the entire font has to be embedded, which naturally increases the size of the file. Since a version of Arial is actually used in place of Helvetica when Helvetica is specified, there is little (no?) reason to specify Arial for a form field. The problem is that even if you set the font for the fields back to Helvetica, Acrobat doesn't clean things up nearly as well as you might expect it should.
    One approach is to extract the form data from the forms that use Arial and import it into a blank form that uses Helvetica, and save. This could be automated in Acrobat with some scripting.

  • Interactive PDF Sluggish

    We have created and interactive PDF for our catalog. The form has over 1600 fields including calculations on the order sheet and photos of the products. When we run it on a mobile tablet device, it is either sluggish or locks up and when running on a Mac or PC it is really slow. I am wondering if anyone has any thoughts on how to optimize the form to increase the speed or an alternative option for distributing the form to dealers for input. I welcome your ideas.

    If the sluggishness is due to rendering of the images, you may be able to reduce the size of the images. Whether that would be acceptable is hard to say without seeing the document.
    When you use calculated fields, the value of each calculated field is recalculated whenever any field value changes, so it can take some time. There are techniques that can be used to speed things up considerably, but unfortunately many aren't supported with Reader for iOS since it lacks support for the necessary JavaScript methods and properties. There is a possibility to speed things up on Mac/Windows, but I'd have to take a look at the form to make specific recommendations.
    In any case it would be good to try to nail down the source of the sluggishness. You can do this (in Win/Mac) by temporarily disabling automatic calculations and observe the behavior. With Reader for iOS, you can create a new PDF that has no calculations. If it still locks up then it's not due to the calculations.

  • Scrolling issues in IE6

    I've found a couple other threads that are similar to my issue, but nothing yet that completely answers my question.
    I've got a page that was created in iWeb and uploaded to a website hosted by google (Google Apps - Google Page Creator). The page and subpages load up perfect (a little slow), in Firefox and Safari, and even in IE7, but for some reason, IE6 screws up the formatting and freezes up when trying to scroll the page. A couple of the other threads say something about changing the javascript; I'm just wondering if anyone has had this problem before and if there is a solution. I would tell friends and family to download Firefox instead, but I would also like to give them the option of choosing their browser.
    My site is here: http://www.secules.net/Munchkin.html
    If someone could clue me in as to why IE6 has problems with this page, and what I could do to fix it, I would greatly appreciate it!
    Thanks!

    Ars,
    When we run this form in 6i environment(client-server) it works fine but in 10g environment it gives issues in scrolling. The record switch between few records and takes lot of time in displaying data in child blocks.What exactly is the "Scrolling Issue" you are having? Are you getting errors or is it just slow?
    Based on the description of your form layout, my first guess would be that your form is very slow. When migrating a Forms Application from Client/Server (C/S) to web; there is more to the process than just converting your form from one version of the Forms Builder to a newer version. It is a complete paradigm shift in how you design and optimize your forms. With a C/S app you didn't have to worry about network traffic. With a web deployed app, you have to be very conservative with network traffic because excessive network traffic (typical of a C/S app) will cause your form to be very slow when deployed to the web. From your description, it sounds like you have "excessive" network traffic.
    I have a few questions. Is it really necessary to populate the detail Global Temp Tables (GTT) as the user navigates from record to record? It would be more efficient to populate your GTT with all of the records related to a Master record set rather than populate them as the user navigates from one record to the next. Why do you need to use GTT over a standard table or view? Is it to restrict what data a user has access too? If so, there are more effiicient ways to accomplish this; like Virtual Private Database functionality, or perhaps use a From Clause query in your form to only query records a user might have access too.

  • Help-explanation-APP

    we can make the check thru atutomatic payment programme like print media CHECK, SO In this What is the WIRE TRANSFERING, AND DME (DATA MEDIUM EXCHANGE) HAVE GIVE ANY NEW CONFIGURATIONN STEP, PLZ give the steps(give ur notes dont give the website) plz help for this kids......

    hi madhu,
    Wire transfer would mean transfer over the wire as compared to the instrument based transfers. among the popular wire transfers nowadays would be the EFT or electronic fund transfer, where the bank details are maintained in the vendor master, picked up by APP and transmitted to the bank for transfer to the payee. standard message type is normally payext &file type is edifact.
    First configure wire transfer for country in fbzp and assign it to company code.Assign wire transfer method to the respective bank.
    While running f110 choose wire transfer.
    1.create a payment method z i.e. wire transfer for country, select bank transfer instead of cheque and select use payment medium work bench and assign wire transfer form as ACB_ZA in format field
    2.Define payment method in co.code.
    3.configure bank determination for z payment method.
    4.add payment method z in your vendor master record.
    5.posting a invoice and mention z payment method in that.
    6.run the payment programme in T.code F110.
    7.go to T.code SE38 and run the programme called SAPFPAYM by execute button and give identification of your run details and give format as ACB_ZA and click on execute button then pop up window will appear then give all the required fields as one 1 and execute it will give you the out put.
    or
    For payment method using Bank Transfer -
    Go to FBZP -Pmt methods in Cocode -Select ur cocode and dbl click bank transfer - or use Tcode OBVU
    Give
    Min amt-1
    Max Amt - all 9's
    Select all check box in 'Foreign payments'
    In Bank Selection - select No optimization
    In form date - give SAP Script as FPAYM_INT_DMEE
    Assign the points if helpfulll

  • Is there a flatten form option in reader x? In reader 9 there was a pdf optimizer panel...

    In Reader 9 there was a pdf optimizer panel that you could check off to have the form fields flattened. Is there a way to do this in Reader X, not Pro but Reader X?

    Gilad,
    I'm really confused now but I just entered data filler fields on my new PDF fillable form saved allowing a user to enter data from the reader and save/print it and there is gray shading displayed in the reader, where the fields are and sent it to the printer from reader 10.1.7 of Adobe Reader X. and the field shading is now printing out.
    This is working fine as I would expect it too.
    Here is my steps
    1. Create a fillable form in Acrobat XI
    2. Save as others etc. to save it so saving/printing is allowed in Reader X
    3. Open Reader X, fill in some fields on each page and you see shading showing where the fields are (not background color set in the appearance tab in properties, but field shading)
    4. Choose Print and print it out and the gray shading is now showing but the data filled in is printed as expected.
    No coding has been done.
    I don't mean to keep adding comments to this, but it does work without coding doing the steps listed above. (In the trial version, this did not happen).

  • Optimize a PDF doc with form fields

    Hi All,
    I have completed a PDF with multiple form fields (about 70). It's only one 8.5 x 11 page. It is 2.2 mB large. I've tried different ways of Optimizer but it always removes the input field functionality.
    How can I decrease file size while maintaining the integrity of the form? Thank you so much in advance. PDF attached.
    Dina

    Generally, the only thing that I remove after creating a pdf file with forms that doesn't effect the fields is to remove embedded fonts. It would be best to to all of the other optimizations before creating the form fields.
    That's nice you say, but I've got the form fields already. Try reducing the size (as you have already done), then replace the page in the file with the form fields with the one whose size you have reduced. The form fields should stay. I don't know what happens to the size of the new file, let us know?

  • Optimize forms view in Infopath 2010 for email submit in Outlook 2010

     
    I have an infopath form I designed.  I setup an email submit rule to send only the active view of the form with no attachment.
     However when I submit and check my outlook inbox the form looks very stretched in the body of the email.  Any ideas on how to modify the forms active view so it is optimized in Outlook 2010?
    I only have 1 view; and multiple views are not required.

    Hi Gopikishan,
    From your description, when Approver2 click Open this task in Outlook, no Approve button displayed on the form. If I misunderstood, please point it out.
    I created a simple approval workflow in SharePoint Designer and assigned it to Admin and user1, choosing serial (one at a time). As I could see in the workflow setting page, there is only one form in Forms block. And I opened it in my InfoPath form, it displayed
    as I clicked Open this task in Outlook.
    So I’d recommend you check if there is more than one form in workflow setting page. And also check if there is any rule which will affect on whether Approval button shows or not.
