Printing to multiple trays from an Adobe form

Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to create a button on an Adobe Form that will send a print job to multiple trays? We have several Adobe forms that need to be printed in triplicate on different coloured paper. Ideally we'd like a button on the Adobe form that will send the print job to all 3 printer trays.
Apologies if this is a basic question, hope someone can help.
Thanks.

Ok thanks, that's beyond my skill set unfortunately! I was hoping it might possible in similar way that macros are used in Word/Excel.
Thanks anyway.

Modifying a PDF created from an Adobe Forms Central form.

I've created a PDF from an Adobe Forms Central online form (Create PDF from web page). I was surprised that all of the text fields were created for me, but was happy that I may not have to reverse engineer everything.
However the layout for the form is for a web-based submission and not really the right size for a PDF that I can attach in an email, potentially for printing. I'd like it to be printable at 8.5X11 if possible. There are also a few aspects of it that I would like to remove since it has instructions and the button for online submission. I want people to have the option of printing or filling out the form, saving it, and replying with it as an attachment.
Is it possible to modify the PDF at this point to reduce its size? Can I remove the instructions on what to do as well as the submit button, especially while saving the background coloring? It seems like there is quite a bit of wasted space with the headers/footers too. At 8.5X14, it still hangs over into page 2.
The form can be found at: https://adobeformscentral.com/?f=oEsnPs*6J8xiF7XlraAsLA
Any help would be appreciated, since I'm not the one who created the form and don't have any templates or anything that were used.

Steve, if you have access to the form in Formscentral, you can temporarily add a second page in Formscentral. Go to the place you want a page break, and click on the + button on the left top of the field where you want the break, and click on the "Page break". Now when you go to the HTML form it should show you only one page, with a next button to go to the second page. You could then copy the URL into Acrobat's "Create PDF" and get tha page. Then click on the next button in the HTML to go to the second page. You should be able to create the second page from that one too, and then combine the 2 pages in your PDF. When you're done you could remove the page break back in Formscentral.
Hope that helps

NewLine Character in the String received from Interactive Adobe Form

Hello Experts,
Following is the issue we have with interactive Adobe Form
We have a text area within the form. User enters the text in multiple lines in this text area.
We are calling a backend function module designed in SE37 that accepts and process the data from the adobe form. We are also processing the string data user enters in the text area.
When we receive the string from the form, the newline character within the string is displayed as '#' in the debugger. We tried splitting this string using cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline and cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf but NO luck. Though in the debugger we see cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline as '#' in the debugger and also '#' is present within the string, for some reason when string is processed to find cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline, we can find/locate it.
Because ABAP code is not able to identify the newline character within the string received from Adobe form, we are not able to maintain the formatting of the string as it was entered in the form.
Any help to resolve this issue is appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Bhushan

Hi Bhushan,
I was going through your issue, and I feel this is something you can do with scripting. Basically you should read whole string and find the new line character and replace with a space or comma, as per your requirment.
Do like following:
In the exit event of the field select java script and write following code:
var strng = this.rawValue;
strng.replace(/\n/g, " ");
above im reaplcing new line with a space.
I think it should work I have not tested it. Pls update if you test it .

Let's say for example user have to the use the form to enter all 10 items or few like 5 on their stock form into 4 different textbox field each lines of your form, however these items go into a "Stock_table" under Single insert transaction query when submit button is pressed.
Please anyone help me out, on how to get this concept started.

Hello,
I have a way to do this, but it would take some hand coding on your part. If you feel comfortable hand writing php code and doing manual database calls, specificaly database INSERT calls you should be fine.
Create a custom form using the ADDT Custom Form Wizard that has all the rows and fields you need. This may take a bit if you are adding the ability for up to 20 rows, as per your diagram of the form area. The nice thing about using ADDT to create the form is that you can setup the form validation at the same time. Leave the last step in the Custom Form Wizard blank. You can add a custom database call here, but I would leave it blank.
Next, under ADDT's Forms Server Behaviors, select Custom Trigger. At the Basic tab, you enter your custom php code that will be executed. Here you are going to want to put your code that will check if a value has been entered in the form and then do a database INSERT operation on the Stock_table with that row. The advanced tab lets you set the order of operations and the name of the Custom Trigger. By default, it is set to AFTER. This means that the Custom Trigger will get executed AFTER the form data is processed by the Custom Form Transaction.
I usually just enter TEST into the "Basic" tab of the Custom Trigger. Then set my order of operations in the "Advanced" tab and close the Custom Trigger. Then I go to the code view for that page in Dreamweaver and find the Custom Trigger function and edit the code manually. It's much easier this way because the Custom Trigger wizard does not show you formatting on the code, and you don't have to keep opening the Wizard to edit and test your code.
Your going to have to have the Custom Trigger fuction do a test on the submitted form data. If data is present, then INSERT into database. Here's a basic example of what you need to do:
In your code view, the Custom Trigger will look something like this:
function Trigger_Custom(&$tNG) {
if($tNG->getColumnValue("Item_1")) {
$item1 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Item_1");
$textbox1_1 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_1");
$textbox1_2 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_2");
$textbox1_3 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_3");
$date1 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_3");
$queryAdd = "INSERT INTO Stock_table
(item, Qty_In, Qty_Out, Balance, Date) VALUES($item1, $textbox1_1, $textbox1_2, $textbox1_3, $date1)"
$result = mysql_query($queryAdd) or die(mysql_error());
This code checks to see if the form input field named Item_1 is set. If so, then get the rest of the values for the first item and insert them into the database. You would need to do this for each row in your form. So the if you let the customer add 20 rows, you would need to check 20 times to see if the data is there or write the code so that it stops once it encounters an empty Item field. To exit a Custom Trigger, you can return NULL; and it will jump out of the function. You can also throw custom error message out of triggers, but this post is already way to long to get into that.
$tNG->getColumnValue("Item_1") is used to retrieve the value that was set by the form input field named Item_1. This field is named by the Custom Form Wizard when you create your form. You can see what all the input filed names are by looking in the code view for something like:
// Add columns
$customTransaction->addColumn("Item_1", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "Item_1");
There will be one for each field you created with the Custom Form Wizard.
Unfortunately, I don't have an easy way to do what you need. Maybe there is a way, but since none of the experts have responded, I thought I would point you in a direction. You should read all you can about Custom Triggers in the ADDT documentation/help pdf to give you more detailed information about how Custom Triggers work.
Hope this helps.

How to avoid Print pop-up while using a Adobe form.

Hi Experts,
I am calling a adobe form from a BAPI.I am using the following function modules FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME and CALL FUNCTION fun_name. But when I try to execute the BAPI a print preview pop-up appears.Please let me know the steps to avoid the print preview pop-up while execution of the BAPI.
Thanks in Advance.
Warm Regards,
Arun.

Hello
I don´t understand the connection between BAPI and the printing program. I guess - at least that is what I have done - is to generate the form when creating and invoice or something, then I could understand.
When you ask for GETPDF = 'X' then you always get the PDF data back and not the popup.
Or if you would like to display the print preview without a print settings popup. Or variants...
FUNCTION ZPDF_SET_OUTPUT_MODE.
*"*"Lokální rozhraní:
*" CHANGING
*" VALUE(FP_OUTPUTPARAMS) TYPE SFPOUTPUTPARAMS
fp_outputparams-dest = 'ZPDF'.
fp_outputparams-nodialog = 'X'.
fp_outputparams-preview = 'X'.
ENDFUNCTION.

Problem in printing amount in different currencies in adobe form

Hi All,
I have a requirement to print the amount as space for thousand seperator and comma for decimals.
I have set the pattern format such that the amount is printing in below format as required.
Locale---Italian.
Space as thousand seperator and comma as decimal seperator.
for example 1 234,45
As some of the Currencies will not have decimals, now users would like to print amount without decimals. For example in my case amount printing in KRW ( Korean currency ) is also similar to the above format which is wrong.
for example Now amount is printing as 55 000,00. But actually it should be 550 000. Similarly for JPY currency also, as it doesnot haves decimals ( checked in TCURX table ).
I have written some logic in the interface. below is the logic.
WRITE:
    wa_mhnd1-wrshb to wa_item-wrshb CURRENCY WA_ITEM-WAERS.
*READ TABLE lt_tcurx INTO lwa_tcurx WITH KEY currkey = wa_item-waers BINARY SEARCH.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
IF lwa_tcurx-currdec = '0'.
REPLACE ',' WITH SPACE INTO WA_ITEM-WRSHB.
REPLACE ',' WITH SPACE INTO WA_ITEM-WRSHB.
else.
   REPLACE ',' WITH SPACE INTO WA_ITEM-WRSHB.
    REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '.' in wa_item-wrshb WITH ','.
endif.
ENDIF.
a. when the write statement gets executed amount will be in ,. ( 1,234.45 )format. Then my logic gets executed correctly. In this company code is CH10 ( EUR ) and KR10.
b. But sometimes after the write statement gets executed amount will be in ., format ( 1.234.45 ). In this case my logic works, but gives the wrong value. In this case company code is VN10 ( EUR )
In both the cases currency is EUR.
Will the decimal format change accordingly based on the company code code currency.Can anyone please tell me why write statement behaved differently.
Do I need to change any locale in the adobe form, or any other logic to be written in interface. ? I am trying it out from long time, but not able to fix it. I will have to fix it ASAP.
Can anyone kindly please help me how to achieve this ?
Thanks and Regards,
Karthik Ganti.

Hi Ayan,
Thanks for your reply.
I have already made the locale to default in adobe form and tried. In the interface I have written the logic to print the amount in particluar currency.
WRITE:
    wa_mhnd1-wrshb to wa_item-wrshb CURRENCY WA_ITEM-WAERS.
*READ TABLE lt_tcurx INTO lwa_tcurx WITH KEY currkey = wa_item-waers BINARY SEARCH.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
IF lwa_tcurx-currdec = '0'.
REPLACE ',' WITH SPACE INTO WA_ITEM-WRSHB.
REPLACE ',' WITH SPACE INTO WA_ITEM-WRSHB.
else.
   REPLACE ',' WITH SPACE INTO WA_ITEM-WRSHB.
    REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '.' in wa_item-wrshb WITH ','.
endif.
ENDIF.
I dont know why the above write statement is behaving differently. In one case the value is shown as 1,234.00, but in another test case it shows 1.234,00.
In both the test cases the currency is 'EUR'. In case if the above write statement works correctly, my issue will be solved.
Can anyone tell me why the write statement is behaving differently. Will the currency be dependent on any other factor ( for example company code,customer )
I would like to fix this ASAP.
Thanks and Regards,
Karthik Ganti.

Print to different tray from Oracle Financials

Is there anyway I can setup Oracle Financials so it prints by default to tray 2 on a specific printer instead of tray 1? The printer is setup for legal paper on tray 1 and is used that way the majority of the time. However, a user has a need to print to this printer with very large reports from within Oracle Financials that are not legal sized.
We are using 11.5.10.2
Thanks,
Jon

WebDynpro Popup from Interactive Adobe Form.

I have a Interactive form UI on WebDynpro view. On a click of a button inside the Adobe Form, a popup appears. This popup is a webdynpro java popup window.
While the popup is appearing or while closing the Adobe form gets refreshed each time and popup moves to first page of the form and user needs to scroll down the page to where the popup was triggered. Is there anyway I can avoid to the page get refreshed.
I am using NWDS 7.14 and Adobe Version 9.0...
- Akshay

Maybe I understand your requirement now. Since you are calling a server side event i.e. to get the data, the page where you are currently gets lost and that's how it should be.
Now as a workaround we can try setting the focus to the particular input field when the page is loaded with the selected value.
1. For this create a boolean atrribute and set it to Y when value from poupwindow is selected.
wdContext.currentContextElement.setPopValSelected("Y");
2. Drag a textfield and bind it to this context. Make the field as invisble from Object palette.
3. Now in the form:ready or layout:ready event of the top level subform write the following JavaScript:-
if(popValSelected.rawValue == "Y")
xfa.host.setFocus("TextField1");

4. I have given the webservice URL in the button properties by making it's type as "Execute"
Now my question is "How can we get all the filled values on the interactive form in the RFC of Webservice when i click on the submit button?".
Note: I should not add any other importing fields in the web service except the PDF string.

Hello experts,
Please provide me the solution for the below mentioned issue.
I have attached the webservice wsdl file to the SUBMIT button on my form (execute type) and binded all my form fields to the webservice importing structure fields..
Now the webservice got changed because of the addition of new fields in the common structure.
And iam uploading the new wsdl file in my existing data connection properties.
But it is giving an error saying as follows.
[0]:Page1[0]:Terms_and_conditions[0]:submit[0]:Submit_validate[0]:click
Error attempting to read from *filehttp://pwxaci.dmzwdf.sap.corp:1080/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/yrrprm_webservice/001/yrr_prm_webservice/yrr_prm_webservice*_

Please suggest me the correction required if the webservice is changed.

OnSubmit function Error in passing values from WDA Adobe Form to Ztable

Friends,
I am trying to pass values from Adobe Interactive Form to ztable.
I am using WDA to display the form. I have created the form context with attributes that are bound to the form fields using the Adobe Livecycle Designer.
Once the user presses the Submit button, the data is passed to the ztable. In the onSubmit function assigned to the Submit button, I am using the "Read Context" feature of WD Code Wizard to read the values of the attributes
I am able to read and populate the ztable with values of the first 3 attributes. But am unable to read the value of 4th attribute using the "Read Context" feature of WD Code Wizard. All 4 attributes are of string type.
I am not sure if this is a buffer size problem or is there a limitation that only 3 attributes can be read per Adobe form / onSubmit function.
Please let me know what is missing.
Thanks and Regards.
