Hey gurus,
I need to solve following issue:
User creates an activity = task in CRM and wants to create a PDF with the task details an save it in attachments of the task
I need to generate a simple adobe form and not an interactive form
my steps:
1) I created a web service for tasks with several attributes (used wizard)
2) I creted a word template and used this webservice (used wizard) sucessfully
3) I created a PDF template and used this web service / uploaded this xdp file
--> as soon as I generate an attachment with word template --> the
attribute values are filled (e.g. task ID, person responsible ...)
--> as soon as I generate an attachment with PDF template --> all
attributes are empty.
Did I forget any settings?

Need to configure output type for adobe form

Hello All,
I need to configure output type for Adobe Form thru NACE. What would be print program and how do I call my form from that program? and, what would be the FORM routine for that form in NACE?
I'm little confused, Pls I need your help.
Thanks in advance,
Chandra

Hi,
Just before few weeks we did this task.
Say for example if you want to print PO details through ADOBE form instead of normal sapscript layout or standard MEDRUCK, you can follow the following steps.
1. Design the form in SFP tcode, by passing the necessary inputs through form interface.
2. Then use tcode tcode NACE and select EF as application and click output types button on the application tool bar. Select NEU output type and double click processing routines on left side.
3. Then, in the right side of the screen we can see the calling program and the form (may be sapscript or smartform) whatever used.
4. For form names we have two options in NACE tcode.
One is Form and the otherone is PDF/Smartform Form. If you are using adobe form give your form name under PDF/Smartform and also select PDF under the type option in the same screen.
This worked perfectly for us. But pass the required parameters to the form from the routine used in standard program.
If any queries please post it.

How to avoid submitting a page when tabular form rows are empty

Hi,
I have a master detail form in my application. There are 2 tables that are used Table A and Table B. Table A contains Ticket number and Table B refers to Table A through a foriegn key and Table B have columns like Date,Name, Age, ticket_id (that refers to the ticket_number of the Table A).
This is how the application works:
In a page there is a field for Ticket Number, once the user enters the Ticket Number and click Add Details, a tabular Form with 5 empty field appears... (Done through Page Process->Data Manipilation->Add Rows)
This form contains fields Date, Name and Age. Once the user fills in all the details and click Submit button, the page is submitted. Whatever values that was entered is saved in Table B. Page Sucess message appears. This works fine.
But once the Ticket Number is entered and Add Details is clicked, and without entering the values in the Tabular Form, if Submit button is clicked, there is no error showing up neither I see Page success message. But this should not be allowed. There should be some error showing up...
Tabular Form Validations works only when user enters some values in the Tabular Form and click Submit. For the above scenario, where the form is untouched the validation doesnt work.
How can I get this done? Any ideas?

Hello Suzi,
>> if (document.wwv_flow==null)
The document.wwv_flow is an object representing the current form that was just rendered on your screen. As such, it can never be null.
>> How to avoid submitting a page when tabular form rows are empty
The correct way, especially for versions prior to APEX 4.0 is to use JavaScript, but for that, you need to know and understand how APEX generates your tabular form, HTML wise.
To be very brief, APEX attached a unique ID to every updatable cell in the tabular form, using a certain pattern – each updatable column is getting a unique name (e.g. ‘f01’,’f02’ etc.) and the ID of a cell is a combination of this name with the serial row number the cell is on. For example, a cell on the third row in an updatable column called ‘f04’ will be given an ID of f04_0003. (More detailed explanation, with an example, can be found in my book).
What you should do is to check these cells according to your validation policy (e.g. is all five row must be filled, is all the columns in a specific row must be filled, etc.).

Arie.

Multiple Adobe Forms Output in single Adobe Form

Hi Experts,
When we login to portal a list of applications will be available in a table, each record contains details of the application. when we click on first field of any record in that table it will display one adobe form. Under the table i have a button print, suppose if i select some 5 records in the table and when i click that print button then all the 5 adobe forms output should display as a single adobe form with page breaks. I mean after completion of first adobe form output, the next adobe form output should start in a fresh page. i could able to display single adobe form but the problem is with multiple adobe forms output in single form. Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Venkat

Hi,
The only way to solved your issue is to change your forms and give it all necessary information in several table . Like this you can manage break page depending of content.
For example, you form interface contains one header structure and a table of item . If you want to have several form into one result , change the interface by passing an internal table of header information . Then in the layout you have to use the different table to get the result you want .
Unfortunately there is no solution actually with AdObe Forms in SAP to merge several PDF into one .
Hope this help you.

How to set the value to ADOBE form input filed...in WDP ABAP...very urgent.

Hi,
SET_ATTRIBUTE is not working for the adobe forms in WDP-ABAP. Is there any other funtion to set the value in the input field of adobe forms in WDP-ABAP.
Please let me know at the earliest
Thanks,

Hello,
set_attribute should work also in this case. The context element has to be bound to the given inputfield on the form.
Can you please check your binding on the form?

Populate Drop down values to Adobe forms

Hello,
I am in the process of developing the HCM forms for PCR's. This is using old technology. How can I pass values to the Adobe forms based on certain condition selected in previous screen. For eg. Based on Position selected, I should have a certain value in Drop down pre-selected on the next screen and when the user does a drop down a list of the values should be listed. Where should do the coding for the subsequent drop down values?
Appropriate points rewarded.
Prasad

Here a change in the question below. Based on Position selected, I should have a certain value in Drop down pre-selected on the next screen from table IT1008
and when job is selected drop down from table T500P should be listed. Does this need to be handled in badi or in the Adove form scripting?
Thanks

Submitted PDF form data are empty

I created a simple PDF form using Acrobat X Pro that containing one textbox ("txtName") and one button ("btnSubmit"). The button's action is set to "Submit a form" and the URL is set to an asp.net generic handler ("PdfFormHandler.ashx").
When I open the PDF in browser and fill in the textbox and click on submit button, the form submitted. But on the server side, "txtName" is always empty. There are no errors but just missing the submitted data. the server side code is:
public class PdfFormHandler : IHttpHandler
    public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
        if (context.Request.RequestType == "POST")
            var name = context.Request.Form["txtName"];
            context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain";
            context.Response.Write("Hello " + name);
    public bool IsReusable
        get
            return false;
I should see "Hello " and then a name. But since it's not able to retrieve "txtName", it only prints "Hello".
i found what the problem is and i posted the answer here. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10885969/adobe-pdf-form-submitted-but-request-form-coll ection-is-empty

You could try first flattenening the fields. This converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript, PDF Optimizer, or a Preflight fixup.

Problem with Enumerated drop-down values in Adobe Forms (WD java)

Hi All,
have a scenario where, I have to fill in a dropdown dynamically when I click a button. I get the values from a function module. I have done this using Isimpletypemodifiablestep. It worked.I have the form too. But when I try to re-implement the same its working only if I give the values during initialisation .
Why is this inconsistent?
Can we modify Simple types only during initialization? I have tried to add the values to the drop-down in controller and map the attribute to view. Even that didn't work.

Drop down Values in Adobe form

Dear All,
Greetings.
I am using the Adobe interactive form for E Recruitement(copying the standard and changing it as per the requirement). When i am using the Drop down value for one of the field. Instead of the drop down its showing as a POP-UP with all the possible values.
I am not able to predict what the problem is. I need to have a drop down, instead of the pop up.
Please help me in solving the issue.
Thanks

Hi Ram,
Please use a Enumerated Drop down list ffrom the library, seems currently you have Extended Value selctor in your form.
This will hopefully resolve the issue.

Adobe Form - Content Area can't be moved

I'm working on an ADOBE invoice form. I set up the company logo, ship to and sold to address and footer as boiler plate objects on the master page. The other data like table header and line item data are in the body page (which is flowed) that I call " Main". Now my problem is: I want to make the item data print starting from 10 cm from the top.I cannot move the content area down to the 10 cm level so now my MAIN body page starts from X and Y coordinates = 0 and the data starts printing from that position spilling over the logo and all other header data. I tried leaving the content area alone and only move the MAIN body page. It does not move down either. How do I fix this problem? Is the content area not supposed to be moved down or do I have a bug in my designer? Thanks.
Other details: EEC6.0 NW2004s, Livecycle Designer 7.1, Windows XP professional.

Thanks both of you. I think my question is answered. It is possible to move and resize the content area in the master page. I tried it but does not still work for me. I changed the underlying XML file and the content area moved so I think it is definitely a problem with the designer. Thanks.

Hello,
You can do any of the following for your requirement:
1) You can change your Body page (MAIN) to have u201CPositionu201D Layout. Then you should be able to move your fields down.
OR, If you require MAIN to have Flowed Layout then do the following.
2) Create a new subform within the MAIN SubForm (lets call it MAIN_POS). Then set the Layout of this new Subform to Position. Then place your fields in MAIN_POS subform, and move them down.
Hope this helps,
Harman.

Custom Adobe Forms in FORM16 output

Dear Sapgurus,
I have a requirement to change the adobe forms output in FORM16 PDF output.
In standard output PDF will contain annexure to Form 16 as fifth page .We don't need that fifth page in output.
So we tried to create a custom Adobe form without the annexure but unable to get PDF output with custom adobe form.
We are able to get the PDf output with 5 pages if we used the standard adobe form .Is there any other way to restrict the fifth
page.
Kindly provide me some info whether we need configure apart from ADS settings or how to restrict the fifth page alone ?.
thanks ,
