Prefill interactive form with data upon displaying out

Hi,
Let's say if i have a web dynpro application, with a view containing an interactive form. I would like to prefill the interactive form with data by calling a webservice or thru RFC before it display the form out. So that when the form is first displayed out, it is already prefilled with data. Is this possible?
Is there any guide out there which is similar to this scenario?
Btw, currently i only managed to consume the webservice and prefill the form with data after clicking a button which will execute the webservice.
Regards,
Cindy

  • Saving interactive forms with data AND then performing further edits

    I need to produce a series of interactive PDF application forms which are long and quite complicated.
    This being the case, is it possible to save the file in it's partially completed state and close it down then at another time re-open and continue to fill out the remainder of the form? I have extended features in Acrobat 9 to allow the user to fill out the form and save their changes, but when the people helping me test this re-open the form to continue, they get the message:
    "This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
    The form is now locked and flattened with no live form fields on it.
    To complicate matters, it doesn't work on the PCs in my office but I can do further editing after a save on my own computer - could that be something to do with Acrobat versions or is it maybe because I am the auther of the form?
    Thanks for any advice you can give me.

    Hey guys,
    thanks for your fast reply!
    @ Chintan:
    I searched all through the wikis, blogs, forums etc. and I really couldn't find any example for the issues I tried to describe (maybe that is a problem?). If you have already read some threads about this theme, could you please point me to one? That would be really great!
    @ Otto:
    Maybe that could work, but I would like to leave out all the function module stuff. I'm dreaming of a direct connection between MII and the ADS. As I understood, the ADS and the PDFObject (wherever it comes from) are communicating via Webservice, that is not directly usable by other frameworks. I think that's the main problem?! So it's only possible to build a PDF object in ABAP or WebDynpro Java, that automatically communicates with the ADS and it's only initiatable via remote function call?!
    Thanks and regards

  • Allow a simple form with "data" to be saved by the user.

    Back in version -x, it used to be so simple.  You created a form that could be read in a web browser.  Users could could fill out the form and save the form to their computers with their data.  Since that first version that allowed that, Acrobat has not progressed in logical fashion.  In a later version, you couldn't save the data.  Then in another version, you could again save the data.  Now you have some nice interactive features. I appreciate the new developments and see where they could be a godsend.  However, the simple thing that I used to be able to do in version -x, and the thing I most want to do,  I can no longer do and it is frustrating.
    Here's the situation:  we have an announcement on the web for Vacation Bible School.  We want to have a pdf with a form that people can fill out online and save to their disk (as their copy of the registration form) and then print out one copy of the form so that they can send it along with their check for the registration fee.  Why should that be so difficult?
    If it weren't for the fact that people have to send in checks, one of the fancy new options would work.  But it is not applicable in this situation.
    Here are my current options:
    I can "distribute" an emailable form (which I don't want to do) and then explain to the user that they should not hit the "submit" button but save the file to their disk.  (First rule of public relations - Don't confuse the public!)  It works in the last version of REader 8+ and in Reader 9.
    I can save the form without distributing it. But the user can't save it with the data!
    Please, PLEASE, PLEASE.  Allow a simple form with "data" to be saved by the user.
    Peace and blessings
    Barbara

    Thanks for a quick response.
    In Acrobat *8 or 9 Professional you can enable a form to be activated with the save feature.
    How do you do this.  When I saved the form without distributing it, and opened the form up in Acrobat Reader, the header said specifically that the data could not be saved in the form.  And when I went to save it, I got the message in a popup that said "Data in this form will not be saved. Reader can only save a blank copy of this form."  Then a second message (with a light bulb) said:  "Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records."
    So, if in fact I can have the form (without "distributing" it) so that the user can save the form with the data, how do I do that?  Are there commands I use, options?  Please let me know.  I will be eternally grateful.
    Also, if you edit form fields, you may remove the submit button.
    The edit form fields does not offer any access to the submit button.
    Best,
    Barbara

  • Search Help on Adobe Interactive Form with Web Dynpro ABAP

    Hi All,
    I have created Adobe Interactive Form with ZCI type and XML based interface type using Webdynpro ABAP.
    I placed a text field USER_NAME on the form ( data element is linked to search help USER_COMP ).
    Added Native WD UI element 'Value Help' to form to search for users and changed script
    *var fieldName = "INSERT_NAME_HERE*"; to var fieldName = "USER_NAME";
    The problem is that when I click on the value help button, nothing happens.
    Is any more additional steps required ?
    Thanks

  • How to do an interactive form with tables

    I've been asked to recreate an interactive form that was created using several tables. The tables are made up of cells that contain labels of what information is required, followed by blank cells where the user can put the information (text fields). A few of the cells are to contain drop down menus that will contain a list of answers to choose from (combo boxes). I kind of like the idea of doing it in a table just because it keeps everything lined up automatically.
    I am a Lynda.com subscriber, and I found a course on that site that shows how to create interactive forms with InDesign, but it just breezes past doing it with tables. It says you can do it, but doesn't show how. The problem is, one table can contain all three types of cells that I plan to use. I can select the whole table and then choose "Type" in the Buttons and Forms panel, but I would think that would turn the whole table into just one type of field. I can't seem to figure out how to select individual cells of the table to choose different types.
    Is there a way to do that?

    This is work around
    1- Draw a rectangle frame, and without release mouse use up and right arrow key to define rows and columns count and use Ctrld+ down arrow key to reduce space between rows and Ctrl+left arrow key to reduce space between column.
    2- Covert frames to Buttons.

  • Allow reader users to save pdf form with data

    I want to create a form that an adobe reader user can open and save a copy as a pdf with the data in the form. I know that requires reader extensions - what i can't seem to figure out is if I already have this included and how to do it. I have LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 - which is the download I end up at when searching LC with reader extensions.
    Does anyone have instructions on how to do this or know whether that functionality is available in the version I'm running?

    You can add the Reader Extesnion right to save the form with data locally in two different ways.
    1. In Acrobat Pro open the form and under the Advanced/Extend Features in Adobe Reader will walk you through a wizard. Once the wixard is finished, save the file and use that one. This technique is limited to 500 users by licence.
    2. LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server has a User Interface that allwos you to pick the rights you want. There are no luser imitations to this option.
    If you do not have either, option 1 is a lot simpler. You can download a trial copy of Acrobat Pro and try it.

  • Interactive Form with ABAP DDIC Interface

    Hi,
    I'm new on adobe interactive forms and  I have some problems. I have a form with a abap dictionary based interface.
    When I test my web dynpro application with the interactive form, it is not interactive. :-P
    And yes the property "enabled" of the UI-Element is marked.
    First I watched an e-Learning an build a web dynpro application with a from which has a interface based on xml.
    I generated the inteface of the form from my context. It works fine.
    But with a interface based on xml I dont't know how I can get a table on my PDF in the Adobe Lifecycle Designer.
    So I searched snd n the forum and found a tutorial (InteractiveForm_and_Dynamic_Tables). Like in this tutorial I created a interface based on ABAP Dictionary and a form with a table. Then I choose this form on my UI-Element as templateSource and generate the context from the interface. But as i mentioned above, now the PDF isn't interactive.
    Any idea?
    Thx Florian
    PS: when someone can tell/help me in german it would be much easier for me to understand...

    You can create Interactive form with ABAP dictionay based interface.  You need to add following code in method "WDDOMODIFYVIEW" of your view.
       DATA: LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM  TYPE REF TO CL_WD_INTERACTIVE_FORM,
          LR_METHOD_HANDLER    TYPE REF TO IF_WD_IACTIVE_FORM_METHOD_HNDL.
      CHECK FIRST_TIME = ABAP_TRUE.
      LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM ?= VIEW->GET_ELEMENT( 'TEST' ).
      LR_METHOD_HANDLER ?= LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM->_METHOD_HANDLER.
      LR_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_LEGACY_EDITING_ENABLED( ABAP_TRUE ).

  • F4 Value Help on Adobe Interactive Form with Web Dynpro ABAP

    Hello,
    I have created an Interactive Form with ZCI type.
    I placed a text field MATNR on the form.
    Then I placed a Native WD UI element 'Value Help' as mentioned in the below link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/42/fb2fe500553ee4e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
    This form was then embeded into Web Dynpro ABAP view.
    The problem is that when I click on the F4 button, nothing happens.
    Is anything else needs to be done?
    Thanks
    Sagar

    Hi Amol,
    After binding the Context variable in the view, and in the Adobe Layout Designer from the Library go to WebDynpro Native Tab and drag and drop the Value Help and for this automatically JavaScript is being generated, go that script and edit the line
    Var fieldname = "yourfieldname";
    Note: Don't forget to link the context attribute to search help. ie. in the context properties of the attributes select the input help mode as dictionary search help and specify the name of the search help present in data dictionary.
    And now go to Utilities and click on u201CInsert Web Dynpro Scriptu201D.
    Also make sure that you specify the Layout as ZCI Layout in the Propertioes of the Adobe Form.
    Ragards,
    Amol Patil.

  • Is it possible to export interactive textfields with data?

    Hey guys,
    I have following problem. I´m creating our variable price list for our customers. "variable" means an interactive pdf for our customers where they can edit the prices, product discription etc.
    I can paginate our catalogue with "Easy Catalogue" including all interactive textfields. It looks like this:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/kn81v9db69dx0a7/screenshot_pagination_incl_interactive_textfield s.png?dl=0
    The problem now is, when I export it as an interactive pdf, the data of the textfields will not be exported -> Dropbox - screenshot_exported_interactive_form.png
    it`s just blank
    Does anybody have a solution for this problem. I need the fields to be preset with the data!
    Is it generally possible to export interactive textfields with data?
    Any idea is appreciated!
    cheers from Austria,
    Chris

    I´m using Easy Catalog http://www.65bit.com/software/easycatalog/
    But I think it has something to do with indesign interactive pdf export properties.
    What I also tried:
    Converted an ordinary textfield with text into an interactive textfield -> then exported as an interactive pdf -> also blank editable field!

  • How to use Adobe Interactive forms with ISR frame work in Webdynpro forJava

    Hi,
    Anybody worked on Adobe Interactive forms with ISR frame work in Webdynpro for Java in ESS/MSS development.
    We have already searched in ISR_Cookbook_2004, however we didn't anything related webdynpro for java in that.
    Any information regarding this will be of great help.
    Regards

    There are a number of issues here. A form that you created with LiveCycle Designer (XFA) cannot be used with FormsCentral. An Acroform, the kind you can create with Acrobat, can be used with FormsCentral, with certain limitations,  one of which is skip logic. A dynamic XFA form allows for this type of thing, but as mentioned, they don't work with FormsCentral. You can set up an Acroform to show/hide or activate/inactivate fields based on selections or entries made in other fields, but you'd have to set this up in Acrobat, not FormsCentral. So you can set up something roughly equivalent to a web form's skip logic, but you'd have to learn how to do this in Acrobat using JavaScript. There is a separate Acrobat JavaScript forum here if you have any questions.

  • Convert Adobe Form (with data) to Microsoft Word Document

    Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard
    Windows XP Professional SP2
    Microsoft Word 2003 SP3
    I am attempting to convert an Adobe PDF Form (with data included) to a Microsoft Word document.
    When I use the menu to attempt this, I get a Word document containing only the form fields.
    I want to be able to grab all the text from the document, as these forms were used to fill in information for Job Descriptions, and I want to submit the text to job boards (without having to retype anything).
    What are my options for obtaining this information?

    Bill:
    Thank you for all of your help. I do not have the program in front of me, so I don't have a means of independently verifying this, until I go see the user tomorrow when he returns to the office ...
    Just to confirm, a fillable PDF is different from a standard PDF, as it stores the form fields in a special way, likewise, the data is stored in a special way. This is actually a quite useful feature, for compiling data, if you use the form multiple times.
    A standard export of a fillable PDF exports only the fields.
    To get the data, I would have to choose to save form data.
    To get the fields and the data, I have to print it using a PDF printer to create a new PDF document. Once I create this new PDF document, I can then export to Word as desired.
    If I want ONLY form fields: (one-step process)
    Export > Microsoft Word > %filename%.DOC
    If I want ONLY form data:(one-step process)
    File > Save FORM DATA > FDF file format > %filename%.FDF
    If I want both the form and the data: (two-step process)
    File > Print to PDF > Save as %filename%.PDF
    Open %filename%.PDF > Export > Word Document
    Is this the process? Pardon my confusion, but I am a newbie, and I do not have the program to test with.
    Thanks for your help, kind sir.

  • Pdf form for data from another form with data, xml or pdf, tables not expanding

    Sir,
    I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and LifeCylce to do these forms. I have made several subforms for a Risk Assessment for the mission they fly. I have also made up another form with tables that would connect with each subform data. This form also will give me and others a % of the values received from the data to help us with seeing problem area towards Safety.
    I am able to connect the data to the form from the Risk Forms but when I go and add another group of data it over writes the data that was already in the data collection form. The tables are dynamic and able to expand with the generated data but when I compile several Risk Forms, xml. data into one single data group, the receiving tables will not except this data. To compile the data I am in Acrobat and using the form-manage form data-merge data to spreadsheet than enter as a report that is xml. Still not working. I also tried to save the form, with data already in the tables, and then opened it again and add data to it, it will over write the existing data in the form. This form does work great with the generated data in LiveCycle.
    Any suggestions???

    Thanks Paul
    Did as you said and for each subform binding tab made sure I have "Repeat subform for each data item" checkbox and still no change when I add the data.
    I even tried to combine the xml data and that file just has the main page and not the data pages. just another problem that is happening.
    Any other suggestions on this expanding tables and receive single forms one at a time.
