Problem using TextField & CustomItem in a Single Form

Hi all, I developed a mobile appliction with j2me. I append a customItem and then a textField in a Form. And when testing in Nokia N95, i'm getting a weired bug.
The bug ::
when i try to write the first character of the second line in that text field, an extra character in appended in that textField automatically (the extra character is the first character of the pressed button).
i tried it in a form having only one textField. the bug doesnt exist there.
Please help me with this matter. Is there any alternate?

Hi,
I am having the same problem. The tripple tap doesn't work when you type from one line into the next.
Was any workaround or fix ever discovered?
Regards.

BC4J Problem using multiple EntityObjects in a single ViewObject

Hi,
I have found a bug while using multiple EntityObjects in a single ViewObject.
Considere the following example:
Table A:
A_ID
Table B:
B_ID
A_ID (FK) NULLABLE
TABLE C:
C_ID
B_ID (FK) NULLABLE
For each table there is a corresponding EntityObject : AEntity, BEntity and CEntity.
Now building a ViewObject based on CEntity, BEntity and AEntity, where AEntity and BEntity are referenced via their corresponding associtaions, the following problem occurs:
1. As long as both IDs are not NULL everything works fine, but when I set the B_ID attribute of CEntity to NULL I receive a NullPointerException with the detail "null".
2. If the attribute A_ID of BEntity is NULL the values based on AEntity are not updated at all (they keep the value they had for the last row).
Any information or feedback on this issue would be very welcome!
Regards
Frank

Here's a sample code that works for a
LineItem->OrdView->CustomerView case,
public void setOrdId(Number value)
    //set the boolean if there's a current order.
    boolean hasOrd = (getEntity(1) != null);
    setAttributeInternal(ORDID, value);
    //after the OrdID is set, check if there's a valid Ord Entity in this row.
    if (hasOrd && getEntity(1) == null)
      //if not, then set the Customer Entity to null as well.
      super.setEntity(2, null);
      LinesViewImpl vo = (LinesViewImpl)getViewObject();
      //And force a RowUpdated event for "customer-entity-usage-attributes".
      vo.notifyRowUpdated(findRowSetForRow(null), new oracle.jbo.Row[] {this}, new int[]{6,7});
} Note that in the above, you have to "override" notifyRowUpdated method in the ViewObjectImpl subclass, so that it's available to the LineViewRowImpl subclass. You can do this
globally by creating a custom subclass of ViewObjectImpl that all the VOs in your application "extends".

Problem using RFC to call an adobe form to create pdf file........

Hi,
   I have an RFC that calls an adobe form to display the pdf output back in a bsp page...the RFC fails at the call to the adobe form (next call after after getting the form name) ...while debugging it looks like within this call it is trying to call fpcomp_job_open and failing on the call check_job_open ...

what is the solution for this problem? I have the same problem. I get sy-subrc = 1 after CALL FUNCTION 'FPCOMP_JOB_OPEN'.
If I look more in detail I see that "Perform check_job_open" is creating the problem:
FORM check_job_open.
IF fpstat-is_opened = c_true. (--> exactly here is the problem. This condition is true so the program is terminated.)
    PERFORM reset_status.
    MESSAGE ID 'FPRUNX' TYPE 'E' NUMBER '101' RAISING usage_error.
ENDIF.
fpstat-is_opened = c_true.
fpstat-is_started = c_false.
ENDFORM.
Does somebody know why my job is open and what is the solution to have the job closed at the beginning of my processing?
Thanks in advance.

Is there a problem using popup LOVs in a portal form with a bind variable?

I have a portal form with 2 LOVs. The second LOV is a dependent LOV whose bind variable can be NULL. I have read Note 263923.1, "How To Create Dependent Lovs In Forms", and my form works as long as I use combo boxes to display the LOVs. I need to use popups so the user can search the LOVs as they are quite lengthy. Plus I want to be able to pick a value from my second LOV without selecting a value from the first LOV -- hence, my bind variable can be null and that is where my problem lies. As long as I select a value from the first LOV, the second LOV popup will work. If I click on the icon to display the second LOV without pre-selected a value from the first LOV, I get the following error:
POPUP LOV ERROR:
LOV: "9A17692880B6B8509F514F5B9CA9EC808DD403218B3CF19A33C04CD1FAB0ADE17ADC33E6B67998A933357CE5264D204E"
Parse Message: Parse as pre-set global: "TORE".
Find Message: LOV is of type DYNAMIC (LOV based on SQL query).
Query: "SELECT ...."
wwv_bind.prepare_bind: ORA-01403: no data found
My form is based on a table with a custom layout. The sql for the second LOV is similar to: SELECT ENAME, EMPNO FROM SCOTT.EMP WHERE (DEPTNO = :DEPT AND :DEPT IS NOT NULL) OR :DEPT IS NULL.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Carol

Don't use EPS any more! It does not support transparency nor color management.
If you save vector files from Illustrator, use AI with PDF compatiblity.
If you save image files from Photoshop, use PSD.
If you save image files combined with vector forms and/or text from Photoshop, use PDP which is a Photoshop PDF.
For vectors from Illustrator use CMYK files.
For images use RGB, conversion to CMYK should never done before PDF export, better, if the printer allows it, is to export a PDF with live transparency as it is PDF/X-4
If the printer requires a PDF with CMYK only export a PDF/X-1a.

Problem using CLIENT_HOST to FTP files from forms 10g

Hi,
I'm trying to use forms 10g ODS & webutil on NT to allow a user to select a file on their machine or the network and transfer the file to a DB server. I want to transfer the file to the file system on the server NOT to a BLOB column on a table. I've used webutil (client_get_file_name) to display the dialog box and allow the user to select a file. This works fine. However, when I try to use CLIENT_HOST to FTP the selected
to the remote server it fails. I'm issuing the following
command from within forms:
CLIENT_HOST('CMD /C ftp -n -s:C:\test_ftp.txt');
Something tries to kick off and a grey area the size of a dos window flashes on to the screen for a couple of seconds but the FTP does not happen. The test_ftp.txt script is a simple ftp script that transfers one file and I know it works as I can run it successfully from DOS or NT command prompt.
Questions:
(1) Does anyone know how to pause the DOS window so you
can see what is actually happening ?
(2) Has anyone implemented FTP functionality
successfully using CLIENT_HOST in the same way that's
I'm trying ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Declan.

Okay...
Try this. For testing put your command in a .bat-file. In this .bat-file spool the output to a text-file. I'm not sure about the spooling syntax under Windows, check the Windows documentation for that. Like:
ftp.bat
start spooling to ftp.out
cmd /c .... (your ftp commando line)
stop spooling
Perhaps the problem is that it doesn't find the ftp commando? Try hardcode the path like c:\windows\ftp ... etc!

HCM Processes and Forms : Using single Form Scenario for Multiple Countries

Hi ,
I have a requirement to design a HCM P&F form ( Single Process, Single Form Scenario ) to support multiple countries. Form fields should be visible/invisible based on the country ( derived from the login Manager). please help me with the following questions.
1. Is it right way to enable/disable the fields in the same form scenario for multiple countries ( Approx. 20-25 countries)
2. Is there any limitation to no. of fields on the form? does the form performs well with multiple dynamic conditions?
3. If yes, what is the best way to do this? through Java Script / Back end Generic Service?
Thanks in Advance,
VR.

Hi VR,
1. Is it right way to enable/disable the fields in the same form scenario for multiple countries ( Approx. 20-25 countries)
-You can use same form scenario or process for multiple countries if you are using fields based on international structure HCMT_BSP_PA_XX_R*. If you intend to use country specific fields then you may like to use different form scenario for different countries.
2. Is there any limitation to no. of fields on the form? does the form performs well with multiple dynamic conditions?
- As such there is no limiation for the fields.Yes, form performs well with multiple rule configurations.
3. If yes, what is the best way to do this? through Java Script / Back end Generic Service?
I interpret you would like to derive & show fields based on same backend logic, in that case you should generic service.
If you want to show fields based on manager's logon then you should also use authorization BAdi.

We now use Acrobat xi for special active forms we created that include certifications and signature fields, some of the forms are programmed to create other forms, will we have a problem upgrading to DC

We now use Acrobat xi for special active forms we created that include certifications and signature fields, some of the forms are programmed to create other forms, will we have a problem upgrading to DC
Our users use a form template to create other adobe forms with calculated fields, signature fields (using digital signatures)
, and buttons. Will we be able to continue developing these forms if we upgrade to Acrobat DC?

Hi Alex ,
In general ,you would not have any issues and problems moving to Acrobat DC .It has a different user interface and with more enhanced features .
You would be able to develop the kind of forms you are referring to .
You could refer to the following document to get more information about Acrobat DC .
FAQ | Adobe Acrobat DC
If in case you are referring to any particular issue or problem or if you face any regarding Acrobat DC ,we are always here to help you with that .
Please feel free to write us back .

Problem using Order by in forms 6i

Hi
The forms version I have 6.0.8.14.
I trying to write a query that looks like this
select * from (
select rownum, a.*
from (select x , y, z from xyz_table
order by x, y asc)
) b
order by b.z
The form does not compile and gives errors pointing to the order by clause order by x, y asc.
Can anyone tell me why this happens and the solution for this.
Thanks

I don't have any issue to do your SQL(revise it a bit),
select * from (
select rownum AS row_num, a.*
from (select x , y, z from xyz_table
order by x, y asc) a
) b
order by 4
What I did is first use wizard to build a tabular form based on the table xyz_table, then manually add a column called ROW_NUM, then on the block's property, replace the table name xyz_table with (above sql), then it works well.
don't forget the '()'.
Also, you have to change the column name to not be the ROWNUM.
My forms builder version is Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.11.3 (Production).

Problem in Loading Multiple image in Single Sprite/MovieClip

Hi All,
I am having a killing problem in loading multiple images in single movie clip/sprite using a separate class.

            } catch (error:Error) {

            try {
                if (imgObject.URL != undefined) {

            if (Evt.bytesLoaded>0) {
                loaded = Math.floor((Evt.bytesLoaded*100)/Evt.bytesTotal);
                dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent("CustomEvent.ON_IMGE_LOAD_PROC",loaded));
        private function onImageLoadFailed(Evt:IOErrorEvent):void {
            trace("Image Loading Failed");
            dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent("CustomEvent.ON_IMGE_LOAD_FAIL"));
Here I am loading some images using the above class in a for loop, like
            for (var i=0; i < 3; i++) {
                //imgLoader=new ImageLoader;
                imgLoader.addEventListener("CustomEvent.ON_IMGE_LOAD",onImageLoad);
                var target:MovieClip=videolist_mc["list" + mcCount + "_mc"];
                target.list_mc.visible=false;
                var imgObj:Object=new Object;
                imgObj.FilePath=list[i].Thumbnail;
                imgObj.Url=list[i].Url;
                imgObj.Target=list[i].Target;
                target.list_mc.urlObj=new Object ;
                target.list_mc.urlObj=imgObj;
                imgLoader.loadImage(target.list_mc.imgholder_mc,imgObj);
                target.list_mc.lable_txt.htmlText="<b>" + list[i].Label + "</b>";
                target.list_mc.imgholder_mc.buttonMode=true;
                target.list_mc.imgholder_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onItemPressed);
                mcCount++;
In this case, the ImageLoader.as works only on the last movie clip from the for loop. For example, if i am trying to load three image in three movie clips namely img_mc1,img_mc2 and img_mc3 using the for loop and ImageLoader.as, I am getting the image loaded in the third movie clip only img_mc.
See at the same time, If i uncomment onething in the for loop that is
//imgLoader=new ImageLoader;
its working like a charm. But I know creating class objects in a for loop is not a good idea and also its causes some other problems in my application.
So, help to get rid out of this problem.
Thanks

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 running a single form on the browser

Hi below is the link for deployment of our application on app server.
http://100.180.127.225:7779/forms90/f90servlet?config=abc
and this is the entries in formsweb.cfg file.
[abc]
form=G:\Oracle10gBinaries\abc\FMX\test.fmx
otherparams=prm_init_file=G:\abc.INI prm_itype=0 prm_impli_type=9W prm_debug_mode=NO
pageTitle=Heading
envFile=abc.env
separateFrame=TRUE
lookAndFeel=generic
archive_jini=f90all_jinit.jar
imagebase=codebase
Now i want to run a form named test2.fmx directly by passing the value as *test2.fmx on the browser.
what change i needs make in the formsweb file to achieve this.

Hi all thanks for ur help.
i am able to run the .fmx directly .this i have achieved by putting the .fmx in the forms90 folder and using the link.
http://100.180.127.225:7779/forms90/f90servlet?form=test2.fmx
it is working fine and showing the single form but now i want to pass a parameter
from the link to the test2.fmx directly/
when launched from the link ,test2.fmx shows all the records. as this form contains customer information so it list all the customer no.
i want to launch this form with only the customer id passed thro the link.
i am trying something like
http://100.180.127.225:7779/forms90/f90servlet?.fmx&PRM_CUST_NO=000000014
where 000000014 is the customer no.
when launch the forms it still gives all records and not this customer record.
prm_cust_no is the oracle form parameter which is defined in the form.
please suggest?

Problems using substitution variable in Web Analysis

Dear all,
I have a Web Analysis report that I need to show a raking table with the current month.
For that I create a variable in Essbase that is updated with that date (E.g.: varCurrentMonth).
After that I use it as my substitution variable to filter my date dimension in a report data source (E.g.: Scr5, row: product, column: date dimension & measure):
2008 (current month)
Product $ qty.
AAA 100 10
BBB 90 7
CCC 80 5
The problem is that in our cube we need to use an alias in every dimension not to have duplicate members (E.g.: DT.Date, MS.Measure, PD.Product, etc). And when we use it we need to set up the variable in Essbase using that alias (E.g.: DT.Feb/05/08). And if we use that variable as a substitution variable in the report data source the label displayed is the DT.2008 and not 2008 as expected.
Does anybody have an idea how to solve that?
Many thanks,
Thiago Gabriel

You usually get this error message if you are trying to assign a value from a sub var to a member that does not exist.
e.g. trying to put FY08 which is a year member against a period dimension
or trying to use a sub var of FY09 which does not yet exist in the essbase, so say you added a new year in planning FY09 and used the sub var in the form but have not refreshed the database then it would fail because the year would not have been pushed down to essbase yet.
or the value of the subvar does not match a member name exactly
or using a sub var name that does not exist in essbase, e.g. using &nextYear but the sub var has not been created in essbase.
You can definitely use subsitution variables in columns in the version you are using and prior version.
Cheers

Problem using namespace of XML docs gerenrated by XMLForm

Hi community!
I am facing a problem using namespace within a XSL stylsheet. Let me describe my problem:
I am using the SAP XMLFormsBuilder within the SAP EnterprisePortal in order to provide a HTML based form for creating and editing specific XML documents. The data in the generated documents is finally presented as HTML using XSL Transformation.
In the XMLFormsBuilder you define the Schema of the XML document and the HTML GUI of the form. The Schema document looks like below (extract):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<schema targetNamespace="http://www.xmlspy.com/schemas/orgchart"
        xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
        xmlns:xyz="http://www.xmlspy.com/schemas/orgchart" Version="6.3.0">
<element name="commodity"
           default=""
           minOccurs="1"
           maxOccurs="1"
           ns="p2p"
           xmlns:p2p="http://www.portal.p2p.com">
    <complexType>
      <sequence>
        <element name="administrative_information"
                 default=""
                 minOccurs="1"
                 maxOccurs="1"
                 ns="p2p">
          <complexType>
            <sequence>
              <element name="creation_date"
                       default=""
                       minOccurs="1"
                       maxOccurs="1"
                       type="date"
                       ns="p2p"/>
As far as I understand, each element defined in the Schama belongs to the namespace "p2p" and this is exactly what I want.
The XML document generated by the form looks like below (extract):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="show_card.xsl"?>
<commodity xmlns:xf="http://www.sapportals.com/wcm/app/xmlforms"
           xmlns:xsi="http//www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
           xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="/etc/xmlforms/P2PCategoryCard_TEST/P2PCategoryCard_TEST-Schema.xml">
<administrative_information>
    <creation_date>2005-07-04</creation_date>
Consequently, the file "show_card.xsl" is the responsible XSLT stylesheet, which looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                xmlns:p2p="http://www.portal.p2p.com">
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="p2p:commodity">
    <html>
    <body>
      <h2>XSLT Test</h2>
      Creation Date: <xsl:value-of select="p2p:administrative_information/p2p:creation_date"/>
    </body>
    </html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The problem in the XSLT stylesheet is, that I want to access the XML document elements using their namespace. And this is exactly what does not work for me. On the other hand, if I remove the reference to the namespace:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                xmlns:p2p="http://www.portal.p2p.com">
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="commodity">
    <html>
    <body>
      <h2>XSLT Test</h2>
      Creation Date: <xsl:value-of select="administrative_information/creation_date"/>
    </body>
    </html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
the stylesheet works fine, but for some technical reasons, which I don't want to explain here, I have to use the namespace when accessing the XML document elements.
For technical reasons, I cannot change the format of the Schema document and also cannot change the format of the generated XML document. The only file I can change and control is the XSLT stylsheet.
My question is now, in the case described above, if there is any way to use the namespace in the sytlesheet when accessing the XML elements?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
Adam Kreuschner

Scroll down in that page and you'll see that the character code 146 -- which would be 92 in hexadecimal -- is in the "unused" area of ISO8859-1. I don't know where you got the idea that it represents some kind of apostrophe-like character but it doesn't.
Edit: Actually, I do know where you got that idea. You got it from Windows-1252:

Mutiple Canvases Single form

Hi,
I'm facing a problem of having multiple canvases(3) in single form.
I've two Data blocks(Master & Detail). Master having one canvas. But details have two different canvases.
I've created 3 different menus for 3 canvases.
say Master,Detail1,Detail2. Now the problem is when i try to open detail1 or detail2 from oracle apps menu it opens master canvas only.
i've created functions in apps & in NEW_FORM_INSTANCE trigger coded like
If (fnd_function.current_form_function = 'CRM_FC_PPC') then
GO_BLOCK('CRM_CUSTO_FORCAST_DET');
SHOW_VIEW('PPC');
HIDE_VIEW('CUST_FORECAST');
HIDE_VIEW('SHIPPING');
Elsif (fnd_function.current_form_function = 'CRM_FC_SHIP') then
SHOW_VIEW('SHIPPING');
HIDE_VIEW('PPC');
HIDE_VIEW('CUST_FORECAST');
Else
SHOW_VIEW('CUST_FORECAST');
HIDE_VIEW('PPC');
HIDE_VIEW('SHIPPING');
Go_item('CRM_CUST_FORCAST_HDR.CUSTOMER_ID');also my master canvas is Content & details are stacked. should i create different windows for details canvases ? i also did that but failed.
what could be the solution here ?

Hi,
Sorry for delayed reply.
Francois,
I've tried with go_item but it doesn't worked. i knew it & tried it before asking here. but thanks anyway.
Ahmed,
i've only one window show all these canvases.I'm now trying with multiple windows.
The code is as follow
If (fnd_function.current_form_function = 'IRS_CRM_FC_PPC') then
     GO_ITEM('IRS_CRM_CUSTO_FORCAST_DET.CUSTOMER_ID');
Set_window_property('CF_PPC',VISIBLE,PROPERTY_TRUE);
Set_window_property('MAIN',VISIBLE,PROPERTY_FALSE);
Set_window_property('CF_PPC',TITLE,'IRS CRM PPC Details'||:global.div);
GO_BLOCK('IRS_CRM_CUSTO_FORCAST_DET');
SHOW_VIEW('PPC');
HIDE_VIEW('CUST_FORECAST');
HIDE_VIEW('SHIPPING');
Elsif (fnd_function.current_form_function = 'IRS_CRM_FC_SHIP') then
SHOW_VIEW('SHIPPING');
HIDE_VIEW('PPC');
HIDE_VIEW('CUST_FORECAST');
Else
SHOW_VIEW('CUST_FORECAST');
HIDE_VIEW('PPC');
HIDE_VIEW('SHIPPING');
Go_item('IRS_CRM_CUST_FORCAST_HDR.CUSTOMER_ID');Regards
PS. Master is Content & details are stacked.

Should I use only standard fonts in pdf forms?

I am converting a lot of professional forms (contracts etc) into fillable and signable pdfs. The documents use flowering serif fonts like Book Antiqua, Garamond, etc. as this has a certain traditional elegant look for contracts but I am tempted to change all the fonts to either Arial or Times for 1) screen readability and 2) to prevent missing font errors when these forms are used or revised on various computers in the future. Not all computers have Garamond but all computers have Arial and Times New Roman.
Should I be using only common fonts in these forms? I need to make this decision before I create the pdfs. If it doesn't really matter, I'll retain the elegant looking fonts but if I can avoid problems in the future, I'll change the fonts.
Thanks for any advice on this.

Yes, I did mean in the form design. If someone uses the type tool to edit text in the future and the font isn't there it will give a missing font error. That could cause a headache in the future. Maybe I shouldn't be too concerned about that. (yes, I would use arial in the fields themselves.)
Also, a lot of the serif text in these documents is condensed and very small (7-9pt). Even at 9pts it's not as easy to read on the screen as Times. Screen-friendliness may trump elegant fonts.
