Problems wiht instanceManager.addInstance() and signature fields

I have a subform that contains two signature fields which I have set to not lock any field during signing. This subform has the ability to appear in the PDF as may times as needed. The problem is that as soon as I click the button to add an instance to the form. All signature fields in the original subform and the newly created subform dissappear from the form.
What do I need to do to make sure that the signature fields are available when I create a new instance of the form?
Below is the code I am using to create the new instance:
var subForm =xfa.resolveNode("Affidavites.Affidavit");
if (subForm != null){
     subForm.occur.max
= "10";
     var newForm = subForm.instanceManager.addInstance(1);     newForm.presence
= "visible";
else     xfa.host.messageBox("Unable to create instance of Affidavit");

You can have a signature field, or multiple signature fields on a dynamic form, but you cannot place the signature field(s) inside a repeatable subform. This is nor supported and will not work.

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 .

Upgraded to Acrobat X and signature field stop working

Upgraded to Acrobat X and IntegriSign signature field stop working. When I open the pdf and click on the signature field I get a "This plug-in is intended for validating signatures signed using earlier versions of Acrobat. To sign using this version of Acrobat, use "IntegriSign for Acrobat 9.0 and later" handler.
Under Perferences in Acrobat, 9.0 and later is checked.
In LiveCycle Designer - IntegriSign is indicated for Signature handler.
Can't figure out how to solve this. I have uninstalled, reset IntegriSign and Adobe settings a trillion times!
Please help!

I tried these steps several times. Kinda long:
Here are the steps to setup ePad signatures with Adobe Acrobat 9 and later:

Reader and Signature Fields

I work for ConnDOT, we are progressively moving towards PDF for our Engineering Drawings. Can you offer some help or direction how to get the digital signature form field operational in Reader? I know how to create a field in Acrobat Pro, but the digital signature field does not work with reader, yet the Reader help instructions says it can. Would we need a third party digital id server to manage the digital id's or could we manage digital id's internally?

Hi,
download this "enabled" sample document and navigate to the last page. The signature field there should work OK with Reader.

Page rotation and signature field

Hello,
I'm requesting some help because I spent too much time comparing my PDFs to see where I am wrong.
I got a document with a clockwise rotation of 90 degrees for every pages. The conforming readers apply the
rotation to display the content in a readable fashion.
So, when I sign the document (with a visible signature field), the signature visual representation is rotated. I got back to ISO 32000-1
and discovered the MK dictionary of widget annotations (table 188).
Here is an example of the widget annotations I'm producing now:
5651 0 obj
<</MK <</R 90>>/F 4/Type /Annot/Subtype /Widget/Rect [100.0 475.0 356.0 731.0 ]/FT /Sig/DR <<>>/T (Sign5929838)/V 5649 0 R/AP <</N 5661 0 R>>/P 5629 0 R>>
endobj
But the signature representation is not correctly aligned.
I compared to what Acrobat 8 Professional is doing. Until now, I found no differences, but those signatures are correctly aligned.
5636 0 obj
<</Rect[39.8122 525.182 153.319 702.22]/Subtype/Widget/F 132/P 5634 0 R/T(Signature2)/V 5660 0 R/DA(/MyriadPro-Regular 0 Tf 0 Tz 0 g)/FT/Sig/Type/Annot/MK<</R 90>>/AP<</N 5637 0 R>>>>
endobj
(Acrobat is re-ordering objects before saving the file)
Well, I think I need some fresh look to understand when I went wrong.
Here are the complete files:
http://www.terafiles.net/v-121441.html (by me)
http://www.terafiles.net/v-121442.html (by Acrobat)

Ok, I finally found out what's going on backstage.
The /R entry of the MK dictionary is just some informative statement. It does not make the PDF reader tilt the signature field.
Acrobat modifies the current transformation matrice to do so.
It's sad it's not clearly stated in the ISO standard...

Problems using window.close() and setting fields

Hi,
I have two problems:
First one is:
I created a simple JSP with 'Save' and 'Exit' Buttons. In the Exit button on click event I invoked a function closeWindow, which calls teh window.close(). But on clicking Exit, the window does not close. Can anyone please tell me why.
Second one is:
The JSP also needs to get loaded with some values in the Textfields. Theses values are extracted from a text field using a Java class. I am able to see that these values are extracted from the text file and are loaded into Java vars, but when I am trying to set this value into a text field, it is NOT getting set.
(filePathDetails is the instance of the class that extracts the text values)
The entire code is posted below:

Thanks in advance.

Try the following..
For problem 1:
Use window.close() instead of window.closeWindow().
For the second problem
don't call the function setPaths() at onload. Rather
call the function after the page is loaded. You can
try like this.
If it doesn't work then check whether the browser is
giving any JavaScript error message.
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
setPaths() ;
     function setPaths(){
     alert(document.pathDetails.element[0].value);
document.pathDetails.element[0].value =
= <%=filePathDetails.localDirPath1 %>;
          alert(document.pathDetails.element[0].value);
          with(document.pathDetails){
textAncPath1.value =
e = <%=filePathDetails.localDirPath1 %>;
textAncPath2.value =
e = <%=filePathDetails.localDirPath2 %>;
textArchivePath.value =
e = <%=filePathDetails.archiveDirPath %>;
textLogPath.value = <%=filePathDetails.logFilePath
ath %>;
     function closeWindow(){
          window.closeWindow();
</SCRIPT>Hi,
Actually I did try window.close(), but I still am not able to close the current window.
And as for the problem of setting up the field values, sorry the given solution doesnt seem to work. :-(..
I have pasted the entire code, I dont know where teh flaw is. Please review the same and let me know.

Problem with Ship to and Org fields on Purchase Order form

I query a purchase order and click on the shipment lines button. There are 2 shipment lines in this example. I am using CUSTOM.pll to inject some specific code to restrict the cancel functionality. One line I want to restrict the cancel functionality and the other line I don't want to restrict. The problem arises when I click between the two rows on Org or Ship to fields. No event or trigger gets fired that I can see; hence, the CUSTOM.pll code does not get injected and the user will be able to cancel both lines. Anyone know of any patches that deal with this problem? Thank you for your time,
-Kevin

Hi Pankaj
You can not set item values on Panes (Tabs) that are not visible. You have to show the pane before you can set the value.
<b>Here is a sub-routine in VB.Net that you can try:</b>
Private Sub doSetShip(ByRef oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form, ByRef sShip As String)
            Dim oEdit As SAPbouiCOM.EditText
            Dim oItem As SAPbouiCOM.Item
            Dim iPane As Integer
            Try
                oItem = oForm.Items.Item("92")
                oEdit = oItem.Specific
                oForm.Freeze(True)
                iPane = oForm.PaneLevel
                oForm.PaneLevel = oItem.FromPane
                oEdit.Value = sShip
                oForm.PaneLevel = iPane
                oForm.Freeze(False)
            Catch ex As Exception

Problem with Databinding/JUNavigationBar and Textarea-Field

Hello,
a textarea-field is bound to a column in the database. (BC4/ADF).
If I make changes to the Textarea-Field, the JUNavigationBar
does not respond. The buttons for Commit and Rollback are
still disabled then. If I use a regular edit-field, I can do the
Commit or Rollback. Is this a bug in Jdeveloper 10.1.3. ?
Greetings

Hi,
I verified with a later internal build and could not reproduce the problem. You need to step out of the filed for the rollback button to become active

Problem with search help and date fields

Dear experts,
I have two text fields and to each i assigned cacs_calendar search help.
It works well normally but if i make text box output only then i cannot select date.
I want that text box in its disabled form can be used to select date from cacs_calendar search help
that i assigned.User should not provide manual input which means fiedls should be otherwise listed in grey.

Hi Aditya
If a I/P output field is provided an attribute as output only and though search help is provided , the values in the search help list will also be in read-only mode and u cannot select them at all, may be you can solve ur problem thru different approach.
when a manual entry is done with wrong value which is not present in F4 help/search help list and
execution is done SAP will by default throw error saying invalid value

Form validation error with mandatory fields and signature field

Hello,
I have seen that many other users are facing this issue, and they partialy do solve it with some workarounds. However, none of them applies to my case.
I have a dynamic form (can be registration form for example) where user fills in bunch of fields. Some of them are mandatory.
When user signs the form, I get our favourite validation error popups that filed this and this did not validate. (I think that the signature is not valid too once I get these errors).
Workaround would be to set all fileds in the form as optional, however, the presign and postsign events work only in A9 and I need the form to be compatible with ver. 8 too.
I also need to make sure, that they are not set to optional, if the signing fails, user clicks on cancel etc...
Any ideas how to acomplish such a scenario?
Thanks

Problem with Action Builder and Numeric Field

Here's my scenario:
I have a form with a numeric field for the PO Amount and a text field for the Role. I tried to create an action builder to do the following:
Condition - When numeric field PO Amount is less than 250,000
Result - Set Value of Role to be Manager
When I enter an amount less than 250,000, nothing appears in the Role text field.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi,
this is not so difficult.
You have to use the script editor (about windows)
Then you have to mark your numeric field.
Then you have to select "EXIT" and "JAVASCRIPT".
Then you have to copy the following script:
(I come from germany and I don't know which amount you mean because in german is this switched 1,000.00 $ is in german 1.000,00 $) This is the only thing which you adapt maybe.
if(this.rawValue <250)
TextField1.rawValue = null;
}else
TextField1.rawValue = "Manager";
Hope it will helps,

Smart Forms with editable fields and signature field provided by Webdynpro ABAP

Hi,
i've created an interactive smart form.. Everything fine. The preview of the adobe livecycle designer looks excellent, every field is editable, the signaturefield is signable...
But when i try to test my form using transaction SE80 i'll get a pdf without any signable field, without any editable textfield and so on
I've used the standard printer ZPDF1 for that purpose. (PDF1)
Every value provided by the interface is displayed correctly in the pdf , but no field offers the possibility to change values anymore the pdf looks like a real printed document.
I want to build a webdynpro application where the user gets a pdf in the last step, where he or she is able to edit single values in the prefilled PDF and afterwards to sign this document with his/her digital certificate...
hope you could help me
kind regards
christian

How Can I stop signature fields disappearing on my IPAD Adobe Reader 11

Hi, I am using trial version of Adobe Acrobat XI pro. I have converted a Word document to PDF. I have added text fields, Java scripts to automatically add Todays date as default, Form Reset buttons and Signature fields. File is saved as standard save. All of the above is done in Windows 7 environment. On same computer, In Adobe Reader signature fields are visible although I do not have the means to test it. When the same File is emailed and opened on an IPAD using Adobe Reader 11.2, the signature fields are missing. I intend to have my users access the file (and 30 others like this) on an IPAD. Can someone advise how to resolve the missing signature field issue. It appears that Adobe do not help with such issues as it is not considered an installation issue.

Digital signatures are not supported on mobile versions of Adobe Reader. Other PDF viewers like Readdle's PDF Expert treat them like e-signature fields, allowing the user to draw/apply their drawn signature, but this is not the same as a digital signature. Adobe Reader for iOS allows you to add an e-signature, but it doesn't use digital signature fields for this feature. Instead, you tap the screen, choose the annotations icon, and then the signature icon.
