PDF - Dynamic Table

Hi,
I am facing one problem related to PDF-dynamic table generation. Suppose I have designed the master page and i have the company logo as header in all the pages and my body page has one table designed. I have choosen Flow Layout for the table but when the tables has many rows, it is extending to the next page but problem is that these rows are overlapping with the header of the next page(Company Logo). Is there any way we can keep the Master page header fix and the extra table rows from the first table will be displayed that only.
Your sugestion is highly welcome.
Regards
Satya

Hello,
You can create multiple master pages with different layouts for 1st and following pages.

Dynamic Table in PDF - only first row passed to the WD Java

Hi Experts,
I'm working with Web Dynpro for Java on WAS 2004s SP13, ADS for SP13 and LiveCycle Designer 7.1
I am facing a problem related to PDF-dynamic table generation.
I am creating the PDF form with a dynamic table, an empty row will be added, when ADD button is clicked, the row will be deleted when DELETE button is clicked. After form submit, only first row of the table is passed to the Web Dynpro. I'v tried to use different dataSource Context node structure without results. The structure diescribed in the thread [Dynamic Table - same data repeating in all rows; doesnt works for me. The same happend if i try to folow the advise from Wiki https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDJava/Creating%20Table%20in%20Interacting%20form%20using%20Web%20Dynpro.
Beside this, my DropDown list in the table column is not populated. I know how to populate the DropDown list outside of table. That's working fine. But the DropDown in the table just not respond on the click (is not going open). I'm pretty sure that this is a result of a Context node structure/binding issue.
Please suggest me how can i implement dynamic table and populate the data in table dropdown column.

Hi Prabhakar,
You describe exactly my situation. The node which is bound to the table row has cardinality 1..n. Exactly Context structure is:
node dataSource (cardinality 1..1/ Singleton true) ======> dataSource of the Interactive Form
subnode TableList (cardinality 1..1/ Singleton true) ======> bound to the table in the Interactive Form
subnode TableWrapper (cardinality 1..n/ Singleton true) ======> bound to the table row in the Interactive Form
subnode TableData (cardinality 0..1/ Singleton false) ======> table data
attribute 1 ====> Context nodeattribute bound to the table row field
attribute 2
This structure is recommanded in the post that I found on the Forum (see the firs hyperlink in my firs post).
Is this structure correct? Why is not working?
Your link is not working. Can you post the correct one.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Adnan

Dynamic Tables in PDF - repeating Header row in all pages

Hi ,
I have created a dynamic table in PDF, When I add rows, the table is spanning to next page, and I should get the header row in all pages. But, I am getting the header row only for the 2nd page(In Header row properties, I have choosed the header row to be displayed in all pages). I need the Header row to be displayed in all pages.
To see the previous thread, Click [here|Dynamic Table - same data repeating in all rows;.
Thanks and Regards,
Prabhakar.

Hi Prabhakar,
Try out with following step
Header Row -> Binding -> Select the check box
Repeat Row for each Data item (Min Count 1)
Please let me know if this is working or not.

Only first row of dynamic table saves to pdf

Please help me with this. I have a dynamic table in an xdp that can grow by adding rows (called details). This appears to work in the browser, when I edit. However, when I save to pdf, only the top row saves. Any idea why the entire table is not saving to the PDF? Thanks in advance.

Yes, I experienced this problem just today. I have a dynamic form created in Live Cycle Designer that has one table with a control that permits the user to expand rows in the table through the Instance Manager. I am assuming that is where my problem is. The table adds/deletes rows effectively, but when I distribute the form, the corresponding response file is created with only fields for one row in this table.
When you begin collecting responses, if a user submits a completed form with more than one row in the dynamic table, an error message will be generated that the form data doesn't match the response file structure. If you ignore the error and save the reponse, all rows beyond Row 1 will not be saved.
I have not solved the design/coding issue yet, but I did develop a workaround. I opened the form_distributed.pdf and filled-out a bogus response, filling in as many rows in the dynamic table as I thought the universe of users would create. I then submitted the form. I then opened the submitted response and was prompted by Adobe to save the pdf to the response file. I checked save it to another file, then merely replaced the existing form_responses.pdf that only had 1 set of fields for Row 1. With the save, it now has fields to accept up to the number of rows I added in the bogus submission. I export to a cvs file then edit the field names to avoid duplicate field name issues in subsequent data analysis.
There clearly must be a better and more eloquent solution.

Regarding dynamic tables in interactive forms

Hi All,
        I have designed a webdynpro view which contains a table,i have to generate a pdf format file which also contains
a table as there in the webdynpro view.
        I have designed a dynamic table in interactive form and binded the interactive form ui element with the datasource and pdfSource.
In the interactive form i am getting only one row data of webdynpro view table.In the Object palette, I selected Repeat Row For Each Data Item.
       share with me if u have any idea or send any document regarding table binding(dynamic) in interactive form.

Sum of Values from previous rows in a dynamic table

Hello,
I have a dynamic table has multiple rows (added dynamically via a button). One column in the table is a Quantity column. Another is a Total column. We do not want to keep a running total, but only wish to display a total when the rest of the cells in that row are emty and the previous row(s) has/have values in the Quantity column. The Total is the sum on the Quatnities up to a blank row. Below is a sample. How do I get teh value of the Quantities in the previous rows?
Quantity
Total
5
8
12
25
7
27
34
22
22
Another option might be to put the Total in the last row with data as opposed to the row below the data.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Karl

How to populate dynamic table in Adobe Livecycle form with cfpdfform?

Hello all,
after two days search on the above topic without results I hope someone here can help me.
The problem:
I have an Adobe PDF form created with Adobe Livecycle Designer that has a dynamic table inside it. The table Table1 consists of a Header Row with 4 cells of text and a data row Row1 with four cells each one having a Textfield Cell1, Cell2,Cell3 and Cell4.
Table1 sits inside a subform mytable. The subform is made to flow and the Row1 has the Binding Repeat Row for Each Data Item checked.
Everything is enclosed within the standard subform form1.
Whe I use the following code, I supposed that the table should have two rows..because it is said it will be dynamic:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

</cfpdfsubform>
</cfpdfform>
<cfpdfform action="read" source="testout.pdf" result="testout" />
<cfdump var="#testout#">
</body>
</html>
What happes is:
The testout.pdf displays just one row,with the values 1,2,3,4 the second row is only visible when I export the data as xml but not within the PDF.
Please can someone enlighten me?
Thanks and regards
Gilbert

When populating your pdf fields, you can loop through all the records in a query like so...
   <cfloop from="1" to="#query1.recordCount#" index="i">
            <cfpdfformparam name="txtField1_#i#" value="#query1.Field1[i]#">
            <cfpdfformparam name="txtField2_#i#" value="#query1.Field2[i]#">
</cfloop>
This will handle two rows or thirty rows just the same. In this case my fields in the pdf have the row # as a suffix.

Item Number in Dynamic Table Quirk

I'm a new LC user, ramping up to speed on this package, thanks to everyone for the useful information here and other places.
Using the great advice and info here,
http://www.assuredynamics.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Assure-Dynamics-Building-dynamic- tables.pdf
I added a dynamic table to a form I've been working on. Most everything works, except the caption on the Row/Item number. So, I yanked out the subform with the table on it to create a simpler copy of the form to post here. Get this... it works on the simple form. So, there's something going on on my not so simple form that is preventing my Row/Item number from working.
I'm hoping that if I post both forms here, someone can help me fix this thing.
this is the form that works:
http://inthequeue.com/adobeLC/Template_excerpt.pdf
this is the form that does not work:
http://inthequeue.com/adobeLC/Template_std.pdf
Thanks in advance
John Q.

Hi John,
Try changing the code in the layout:ready event from;
this.caption.value.text = (this.parent.index + 1).toString();
To;
this.caption.value.text.value = (this.parent.index + 1).toString();
That is add another ".value".
Your form that works targets Reader 8.0 or later and the one that doesn't Targets Reader 9.0 or later, I'm guessing that is the difference.

Dynamic table in webdynpro interactive form not working. Urgent

Hi guys,
I am facing a problem when trying to retreive data entered in interactive form dynamic table.i can get the data entered in non dynamic fields no problem.
I have a node structure like this
Root
Data 1...1 singleton and non tried both
Table 1...n singleton and non tried both
In my adobe form i tried adding rows using add instance, and also using add button in webdynpro native. In the same method that adds row i simulated the submit button to create row in WD context! It adds rows but any data entered later is lost. One more thing i have noticed is it sometimes works after adding just one row! Data is passed to context but from next row it doesnt work! What am i missing?
I also tried adding a button in webdynpro tray and adding the row directly to the context. new row is created in form but any data entered in new rows is lost!
I am unable to obtain the data entered in Dynamic fields. I thought i would try the xml reading method but the problem is after crating a couple of rows dynamically if i go save pdf locally the new rows are not showing up in the pdf!
I have seen a post which said using the if_wd_iactive handler to set the form as dynamic but that method is not available in our system! Sorry i am not in front of an SAP system so i cant type exact names!
I tried using zci update program/ etc etc but i am still struggling at the moment. Any help would be much appreciated! Pls ask if you need more info.
Regards
Naresh

problem solved! I had to recreate the form. not sure if i corrupted the webdynpro scripts etc by mistake.

Dynamic table data isn't transfered to the context, with webdynpro for java

Hi,
I'm using LifeCycle designer 7.1 and Adobe reader 7.0.5.
I'm trying to make a dynamic table in a PDF form, that will be related to a table in the context.
I've designed the context like it says here: Dynamic Table - same data repeating in all rows
I made a dynamic table and related the cells on the row to the context, by dragging the variables from the DataView into them.
The table is related to TableList, the row to TableWrapper[], and the cells are related like this: TableData[].ItemName
And there's a button which adds a row to the table.
And for some reason, that's not working; When hitting the Submit to SAP button, it doesn't appear as though the data was transferred to the WebDynpro context.
Can anyone help me with it please..?
By the way - I tried using the SAP standard subform controls, the 'Insert Remove Move' control.
When trying it through the PDF preview, it doesn't work - whatever I click displays an error message, and when it runs from the browser - It automatically searches for an update for Adove Reader (I use 7.0.5).
Is it supposed to work only with version 8 of the Adobe Reader?

Well, I reinstalled ACF, and now the Submit button works, and the Insert Remove Move buttons work as well.
But the table context still doesn't work.
I had put some values in the context, in DoInit, and they appeared in the table in the form, but when I changed them in the form it didn't affect the context at all.
There's a simple attribute value related to a text field, which IS affected when changed in the form, and the Submit button is clicked. Only the table doesn't work.
How can I make it work?
Thanks,
Udi Dekel

Itextsharp using livecycle form with dynamic table

Hello all, after searching Google for the past two days and not able to find any relevant information, hence this post.
Some background:
1) Created a pdf form using Adobe Livecycle designer 9.
2) It is a dynamic form with textboxes and a table configured to repeat rows dynamically.
3) Testing form using xml data within designer works just fine.
Requirement:
Need to populate form dynamically using data from database.
Solution:
Found iTextSharp (free assembly) which assists with populating existing pdf form.
Issue
This assembly works without any issue when populating textfields (see sample code below). The problem I am facing is with the dynamic table where in I am not able to reference rows greater than 1. Since the pdf template contains a table with just one row referencing the first row using acrofield works.
I was under impression since this is a dynamic table with repeat enabled, in asp.net if I referenced row2 onwards the table would grow automatically. Which I have come to realize is not going to be possible.
So I am looking for ideas on how I can accomplish this. I wish this could have been a fixed row table then reference rows would have been easier. However in this situation the table has to be dynamic.
Any ideas thoughts would be appreciated.
Below is my sample code:
PdfStamper ps = null;
try {
// read existing PDF document
PdfReader r = new PdfReader(
// optimize memory usage
new RandomAccessFileOrArray(Request.MapPath("itext.pdf")), null
ps = new PdfStamper(r, Response.OutputStream);
// retrieve properties of PDF form w/AcroFields object
AcroFields af = ps.AcroFields;
// fill in PDF fields by parameter:
// 1. field name
// 2. text to insert
af.SetField("txtCompany", "Company name");
af.SetField("txtDateDepartLocation", "date depart location");
af.SetField("txtDate","test date");
af.SetField("txtServiceNumber", "Service number");
af.SetField("Table2.Row1.Cell1", "1test");  this works
//doesnt work!!!
af.SetField("Table2.Row2.Cell1", "1test");
af.SetField("Table2.Row3.Cell1", "1test");
// make resultant PDF read-only for end-user
ps.FormFlattening = true;
// forget to close() PdfStamper, you end up with
// a corrupted file!
ps.Close();
catch { }
finally { if (ps != null) ps.Close(); }

Hi FourEyes;
Try using this.

Livecycle userform with dynamic table

Hi Everyone,
New to Livecycle Designer and was hoping this is possible - Can you have a PDF userform with a dynamic table below it?...
Basically the user fills out a userform then clicks an ADD button - this populates a dynamic table below the userform then clears/resets the userform - as the records fill the table an EDIT button appears in the last column so that if the user makes an error with a record they could click the EDIT button, this would bring the record back into the userform fields so they could change the field(s) they made the error in then a SAVE button would replace the ADD button in this instance, clicking SAVE then changes the record and clears/resets the userform ready for more entries.
At the bottom of the PDF there would be an EXPORT button which attaches the table as a csv or tab-delimited text file to an email message...
If someone could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated - I have googled and searched the forums for an answer but they mostly relate to importing data into a dynamic table from a database or xml file... I was hoping to directly populate the table with the userform.
I also have a PDF example which illustrates what I am trying to achieve... but seems you cannot attach to a post... I can email it if someone has a solution, but needs to see it visually.
Cheers

You don't know the names of your columns? hmm you do, because before you created dynamic table you had to create field catalog, so the structure and column names of newly (dynamically) created table will be the same like defined in the field catalog.
The last loop also does not look good, in my opinion should be something like:
LOOP AT lt_datatable +(my first table)+ ASSIGNING <ls_data4>.
    AT NEW pernr.
      APPEND initial line to <fs_1> assigning <fs_2>.
      <fs_2>-pernr = <ls_data4>-pernr.
    ENDAT.
    ASSIGN COMPONENT <ls_data4>-wage_type OF STRUCTURE <fs_2> TO <fs_5>.
    <fs_5> = <ls_data4>-amount.
ENDLOOP.
also keep in mind that number of calls of method cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table is limited to 36 (?) calls within one program session because it uses dynamic subroutine pool behind so you will have short dump if you will execute that 37 times.

Dynamic table data not transfered to context WD4ABAP

Hello Guys,
Currently I have a urgent problem with Adobe Forms and WD4Abap. We are using AdobeReader 8.1.1 und Designer 7.1. Me problem is:
1) I have an interactive form with dynamic table and simple fields...
2) Data within textfields can be updated, created and deleted
3) Data which is initially transfered to TABLES can be changed!!!
4) BUT, if I add or delete a table row, this is NOT sent back to the WebDynpro context
I am using the buttons out of the WebDynpro Navtiv Library. Furthermore, if I save the PDF on my Harddisk and start in manually (offline) add, change or delete data, the data is updated by checking it with the export data function within Adobe reader (Document->Form->Export Data)
Is anybody able to help me, my ideas are on the end...
Best
Carsten

Hi Carsten,
Thanks again for your quick response.
I tried using the code you supplied (changing the appopriate fieldnames to suit my form) but unfortunately I am still not able to access the added rows from my WD context.
Could you please clarify a couple of things for me?
1. In the following line, is "button_1a_+" the name of your button that adds new rows?
> Carsten Sallaba wrote:

>$record.BEHAVIOR.PARAMETER.value = "button_1a_+";
2. I presume that the following line in the code snippet should trigger the submit event on the WD, however this doesn't seem to be working for me, even after creating an action for the onSubmit event in the WD. Do you have any further info on the changes that need to be made on the WD side?

Dynamic Table row breaks only on the first page (not on second)

Hello,
I biuld a dynamic table with Livecycle.
If the text in the last field is to long, the table grows automatically.
If the end of the first page is reached, the row breaks over from the first to the second page(= 1st break)
This works correctly.
But if the text is longer, and the field have to break from the second to the third page, the field does not break!!
Please see the attached file.
The settings should be correct, because the break ( from 1st to the 2nd page) works.
But why, is the "dynamic behaviour " limited to only ONE page ?
Can you help me please ?
Thanks....

Danke für die korrigierte Datei.
Jep, bei deiner Datei funktionierts.
Ich habe alle Einstellungen genauso angeklickt wie Du, aber trotzdem funktionierts nicht in meiner Tabelle.
Kannst du Dich erinnern, was genau Du geändert hast ?
Ich lade eine Datei hoch, in der ich eine neue Tabelle in die bereits existierende Tabelle ( von Dir korrigiert und funktionierend) einfgefügt habe.
In dieser zweiten Tabelle habe ich die gleichen Einstellungen wie in deiner Tabelle. Meine Tabelle funktioniert aber nicht.
Wo ist mein Fehler ?
Danke für deine Hilfe.
Ich hatte es aber als dynamisches Formular gespeichert. Die Felder verändern sich ja, nur nicht mit dem richtigen Umbruch.
https://acrobat.com/#d=kBUbNEdmNNLTXmKuCUo84w
Ist es womöglich ein Versionsproblem ?
Teillösung:
Mit 1 Spalte anstelle von 2 Spalten funktionierts auch bei mir.
Mit 2 Spalten nicht.
Weiss jemend Rat ?
ENGLISH
thanks for the correction of the file.
It works fine in your doc.
I copied all settings from your pdf-file, but still it doesn`t work in my doc.
Do you remember, what you changed ?
I will upload a flie, where I paste a new table in the existing one. Can you tell me where the failure is ?
Thanks for your help.
I saved the origin file as a dynamic form. The fields were growing automatically (when the text is long). The problem was the overflow.
https://acrobat.com/#d=kBUbNEdmNNLTXmKuCUo84w
Is it possibly a bug within my LCD Version ?
Greetings
Dilaver
UPDATE
It works fine, when I delete 1 column.
With 2 columns -> overflow problem
With 1 column -> no problem..
Does anybody knwo why ?
