Process data of none bound fields in Adobe Interactive Form (stack 13)

I use a Adobe interactive form (made in Designer 7.0)which is a combination of fields bound to Web Dynpro Context fields and fields which has no binding at all (in Designer: Default binding = Normal). The Adobe Document Services on the J2ee server is of stack 13.
When I save the Adobe Form (off-line scenario)from the Web Dynpro Application, only fields bounded to the Web Dynpro Context are saved in the Form on my local file system(no warning that data isn't saved).
When I open the Form for off-line editing, I can change bounded fields and none bounded fields. But when I save and re-open the form, the data in the none bounded fields is lost.
I used the same scenario in a stack 11 j2ee/portal system, but then all data (bounded or not) in the form was saved!
Could anyone explain the difference, but better tell me how to save both kind of fields in the off-line form (and bounding all fields is not a solution).
Thanks in advance,
Richard

Hi,
Check your ADS settings, I feel it's due to lack of some config in ADS only.

Hiding a field in adobe interactive form

Hi All!
I am working with Adobe Interactive form. I want to make a subform invisible based on the selection of one of the options in the dropdown list. I tried the following javascript in the change event of the dropdown list:
xfa.resolveNodes("subformName").presence = "invisible";
but nothing happens when i change the value of the dropdown list.
Please suggest some solution for this.
Thanks!

Hi Temp,
We can use a data driven approach for setting the presence. The Minimum Occurrence property has to be set as 0. In this approach if data does not exists at runtime for that particular node, the complete subform will be invisible without any reserved space. (In this approach also layout has to be set as Flow Layout only).

Sumit

Currency fields on Adobe Interactive Form

Hello,
I have placed a currency field on the Adobe Interactive Form.
Local has been set to 'Viewer's System Locale'.
But if I try to put any amount in this field, the following error message is displayed:
"Distance Between Separators for Thousands Must Be 3."
I tried with following amounts:
10000
10000.54
10
1
Note that my default decimal point is '.'.
Regards
Sagar

Sagar,
Goto Object Palette --> Value Tab --> Check if you set any Validation Pattern for the currency field.
If you don't want, remove the validation.

Need help with calculated fields in Adobe Interactive Forms

Hi Tapan
No, it's working ,with one remark.
I've done a mistake, in the final formula. The logic remain the same! ;)
The calculation values for second column ( COL2 ) are 1,2,3 and not 0,1,2 as I wrote before and as for COL1 are so the formula is
=3*if(COL1="ABC",0,IF(COL1="DEF",1,2)+if(COL2="RST",1,IF(COL2="YYZ",2,3)
and not
=3*if(COL1="ABC",0,IF(COL1="DEF",1,2)+if(COL2="RST",0,IF(COL2="YYZ",1,2)
I created also a real example for you, with 2 dif calculation ways . First I created 2 calc_columns for COL1 and COL2 ( CALC_COL1+CALC_COL and after I added both these 2 column , and second way is to calculate directly) .

Changing the background of a text field in adobe interactive forms

Hello All,
Is there any way to change the background colour of text field in interactive form dynamically.??
Thanks,

Naresh,
Change the language to JavaScipt in Script Editor of LiveCycle Designer and use the following code to highlight the area of TextField where R,G,B means that you have to give the RGB values of the color you want.
<YourTextFieldName>.border.edge.color.value = "R,G,B";
For eg:- If you have a textfield with name TextField1 then this will highlight the TextField1 area in red color.
if ((TextField1.rawValue==null) || (TextField1.rawValue==""))
TextField1.border.edge.color.value = "255,0,0";
You can use this on exit event of Textfield1 or at the submit button where you check the form data.

How to invoke HTTP Web Services in an Adobe Interactive Form

Hi all,
I am using Adobe Livecycle Designer stand-alone (without Netweaver integration), currently a trial 8.2 version.
I need to invoke an HTTP Web Service (non-SOAP) in an Adobe Interactive Form. The Net.HTTP method does not work due to security reasons. The error message I get is:
(german)
" NotAllowedError: Sicherheitseinstellungen verhindern den Zugriff auf diese Eigenschaft oder Methode.
Net.HTTP.request:28:XFA:form1[0]:mysubform[0]:Region[0]:change"
In english this translates to: "Security settings prohibit the call of this property or method.
And indeed the "Javascript for Acrobat API reference" includes the following note:
"Note:This method can only be made outside the context of a document (for example, in a folder level JavaScript)."
So this method seems to be excluded from use in an Adobe document, e. g. in an interactive form. But why is it then listed at all? Is there a way to call HTTP Web Services in an Adobe Interactive Form by somehow branching out the call outside the document itself? Of course I do not want to call a SOAP service which then calls the HTTP Web Service
Is there any other way to invoke HTTP Web Services in an Adobe Interactive Form?
Thanks a lot for your response!
Regards
Christoph

Hi,
back again, had to handle other issues, sorry.
Just to get a little more concrete. The condition depends on the context node attributes. So if an attribute is initial, it's field should not been shown, if it's not initial, it should ne shown. There are 6 context attributes and therefore 6 fields in the form. How can I get the attributes' value?
And can I put them into the same subform or do I have to create 7 (6 conditions + blank-condition) subforms?
I put the fields (textfield and context node value) that should be shown depending on conditions in a subform. So how can I adress this subform?
I'm not so familiar with JavaScript, so please help me. I need something like:
if (context_node_attribute X is initial) {
subform_1.presence = "hidden" ;
I tried it with
if ( ARB_STUNDEN.rawValue != null) {
Beratungsstunden.presence = "hidden" ;
but it didn't work....
Thanks,
Tan

How do I take two separate non numeric fields in a acrobat form and combine the data to display in a third separate field?

How do I take two separate non numeric fields in a acrobat form and combine the data to display in a third separate field?

You have to use custom JavScripting to concatenate the first 2 fields. You cannot use the first 2 calculation options because they force the values of the fields to a numeric value or ignore string values.
Possible scripts for the 3rd field are:
event.value = this.getField("Text1").valueAsString + " " + this.getField("Text2").valueAsString;
or
event.value = this.getField("Text1").valueAsString.concat( " ", this.getField("Text2").valueAsString);
If you do not want change the separator or not show the separator when on or the other field is empty, you will need to add more code to adjust for change.
The above scripts will also concatenate number because the field values are read as strings and not numbers.
There is also a generalized user written function to concatenate up to 3 fields with a separator that adjust for missing data.

Date format convert error in XML interface based Adobe interactive forms

Hi experts,
I am using XML interface based Adobe interactive form in Web Dynpro ABAP. The form just contains some date fields and numeric fields.
When I test the WD Application, the date fields appear like 0000-00-00 at the first time. And then I set the form input disable, and get the XML from the form, at the same time I get the warning message, 'date format convert error'. By the way, I have set the edit pattern, display pattern and data pattern of the date field to YYYYMMDD, but there seems no effect.
Could you tell me how to set the default date format in date field Or clear the 0000-00-00?
And another question, all of the numeric fields in the form appear like 0.0, how can I set it to empty when the form initialize?
Best Regards,
Guo Guo Qing

Hi Chintan,
Thank you for your reply.
I have tried every possible changes on the Date field, locale, pattern. But still no effect. When the PDF come up in the WDA program, the date field is still '0000-00-00', and then I export the XML date of the form, there is also '0000-00-00' in the interface field.
I can't clear the '0000-00-00' in initializiation event using javascript because if I need to open the form again, if I do this, the value user input could be cleared.
I also try using Javascrip like this
if this.rawValue == "0000-00-00"
{ this.rawValue = ""; }
The code above can't clear the initializiation zeros too.
Have you used the XML interface based online Adobe Forms? I have used XML PDF forms for output before, that's perfect. But the input forms seems so strange.
Best Regards,
Guo Guo Qing

Send Data back to SAP from Adobe Interactive Form

Hello friends,
I created a Adobe Interactive form using transaction SFP.
This form have a comment field.
My requirement is user enter comments in this filed and click on Submit.
It needs to call a BAPI and save data in SAP table.
thankz in Advane
regards,
Sumit Malhotra

Hi,
Create an WebService for the BAPI and in the Adobe Form create a New Data Connection of Type "WSDL", while creating the New Data Connection it asks for the Path so get the URL Path of the WebService created for the BAPI and assign it to the New Data Connection and specify the Binding for the respective fields under the "Import/Export Binding" in Binding tab of Object Pallette.
Thanks and Regards

How to binnding the data in the adobe interactive forms for making a table?

Hi, experts,
Function:
Through the sharing context node between adobe interactive form and a WDA for ABAP, display the data of the sflight_node in the ADOBE.
version:
Acrobat Reader 8.1.0
currently both of the SAP-ABA and SAP-BASIS SP level: 9
ADS : Successful.
The following is my action:
1.     Create a interface (Z_SFLIGHT_INTF) with a attribute node (SFLIGHT_NODE) that type is "sflight" using the transaction code "sfp"
2.     Create a form (Z_SFLIGHT_FORM) using the transaction code "sfp" with the interface Z_SFLIGHT_INTF.
3.     Trag the sflight_node in the Z_SFLIGHT_INTF to the form( Z_SFLIGHT_FORM).
4.     Open the layout tab in the form(Z_SFLIGHT_FORM), and create a table(table1). Click the table created just now, select the binding tab in the object tab, and in the Default Binding, select the SFLIGHT_NODE under the Z_SFLIGHT_FORM.
Problem 1:
Do you tell me whether is right for binding the context SFLIGHT_NODE using this way? If bind 3 context attributes in the sflight, how can I do it?
5.     Create a WDA for abap (ZZ_02_SFLIGHT), and create a view(MAINVIEW) using transaction code "se80" in the sap-gui with adobe interactive form. Set the templatesource(Z_SFLIGHT_FORM) in the adobe interactive form properties and saved, and then, datasource is "MAINVIEW_Z_SFLIGHT_FORM" automatically.
6.     But I only found the attribute SFLIGHT_NODE under the context node(Z_SFLIGHT_NODE), and I don't found the NODE ( SFLIGHT_NODE ) context in the context tab in the WDA for abap so that I don't set data to the context NODE (SFLIGHT_NODE).
Problem 2:
Do you tell me what can I do it so that I get the node SFLIGHT_NODE rather than attribute in the WDA for setting the data to the CONTEXT NODE (SFLIGHT_NODE)?
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Tao

Please give me some hints on this. Do you give me some ways to implement functions( hide elements and get elements's attributes)? Thanks a lot.
