Redesign Appraisal Adobe form

I need to redesign the PDF layout for printing purposes, no OFFline function involved. I
activated the BADi and made a zcopy from HAP_PDF_OFFLINE_FORM.
My problem is I don't know enough about Adobe LiveCycle Designer and the dynamic form is hard
to make changes on, every field is retrieved from run time.
My questions are:
Q1. How can I change the description "Note SMART Objectives Description" and "Note Employee
Comments" to my own descriptions? I think they should be changed from configuration. They are
named as CAPTION text field in the form.
Q2. There are 3 items underneath each SMART Objective.
    1 Objectives
    1.1 Enter individual SMART Objectives here
        Strategic Priorities    description
        Weighting               1%
        Final Appraisal         Exceed.
    Our requirement is to put each item side by side:
    Strategic Priorities      Weighting    Final Appraisal
      description               1%               Exceed.
    How can I do that? They are gouped under the simpleText node.
Q3.  The coordinates X and Y are grey out on all existing fields, so how can move them into a different position?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

HI,
Please check adobe version , which is not supporting.

  • Interactive Adobe form for performance appraisal

    Hi Experts,
    Is it possible to create Interactive Adobe Form for Performance appraisal? I understand that the appraisal template varies company to company.Does it affect the Form? Can we update the infotype 0025 ( Appraisals where appraisee /Appraisals where appraiser tab) ? Please advice on this.

    Hi,
    We had the same question sometime back. This is what we found
    1. Users will not finish Performance Apprisal document in one session, they will complete partially and then comback another day to complete it.
    2. IT25 is not like normal infotype, it might be challenging to update it with BAPI/RFCs.
    These two issues stopped us from doing Adobe interactive forms (PCR like) for Performance apprisal.

  • Integrating Dynamic Adobe Form with BSP: SAP Objectives setting &Appraisal

    Hi all,
    My users ask me whether wecan use Adobe Form to replace SAP standard BSP appraisal form (generated by HAP_DOCUMENT).
    I konw that it's possible to integrate Adobe Interactive form with BSP.
    But my Adobe form must contain dynamic table, with ability to insert/delete row on the form. This is just like what's there when you can adding objectives by client scripting in SAP OSA.
    Please tell me if the integration of dynamic Adobe form with BSP is possible?
    (We are on ECC 6, EPH2).
    Thank you so much.

    Manager and Employee fills Appraisal form / interactive adobe form in the beginning of the year .
    It will be sent to the employee UWL through workflow for verification in read only form where he can add his comments in the comments box.Once he agrees with the objectives and submits the form it sits in the UWL of managers.
    After six months there will be revision of Objective Setting if required by manager and employee with same as above process.
    Objective Setting should be freezed after approval.
    At the end of the year, the final appraisal form is agreed with employees and manager an approval from manager should send to the next level line manager UWL using workflows.
    I have built the webdynpro application with an interactive adobe appraisal form , but how to trigger the Workflow from the adobe form and what are the steps i need to customize for the above process and store the appraisal form after the second line managers approval??
    Are these available in standard workflows provided by SAP? Or do I need customization?
    Please help.
    Thanks.

  • Drop down list in Adobe forms

    Hi All,
    I need to provide a drop down list in the Adobe form. I am calling this form from an SE38 program. I have selected the 'Value Help drop down list' element. How do i pass the value or bind the values to this element. The values for the drop down list are selected from a standard table at runtime.
    I tried using Enumerated drop down list also but did not work.
    Any idea????
    Thanks,
    Prakash Pandey

    Hi ,
    Thanks for posting this, saved me a lot of hassles trying to program something. One question. My values are in a nested table. e.g. I have a table with criteria for an appraisal. The criteria have a dropdown on them with a ratings. So, one appraisal, many citeria, many possible rating values. When I put in your code, e.g. $record.APPRAISAL.CRITERIA.DATA[].RATINGS.DATA[] , I get all Ratings relevant to all criteria on each line for the criteria table, not just for the criterion they belong to. How do I specify that it should only pick up the ratings for the current criterion ?
    Hope my explanation makes sense
    Thanks !

  • Adobe forms and portal

    we are using adobe forms to open and print appraisals in ess. When we click on print appraisal, adobe does not open up, i have checked connections and they look fine. We get a time out error and it looks like it is pointing to the web dispatcher OFCOMTOLS026_EWX_01
    the server is ofcomtols026, EWX is the dispatcher, should the portal be pointing to this in the ERP system, where is this setup to point to this?
    Any help would be great

    Subha:
    Your PDFs can be generated in ADS on Portal or ECC systems. From what you describe it looks like in your case it is ADS on ECC and there is a web dispatcher, doing load balancing of HTTP connects for ECC J2EE engine. In this case web dispatcher is a correct destination.
    My recommendation for the troubleshooting:
    1. Make sure ADS forms generated OK by accessing one of the ECC app servers directly. If Adobe form is not generated, check ADS settings. Here is a nice doc:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f03414f8-d4ce-2a10-d4b6-ab201b329d98
    2. Once Adobe Form is verified, check access via Web Dispatcher. It is possible that its permission table does not allow ADS urls.
    Jaya:
    You should not be able to connect the portal to a webdispatcher. Only browsers talk via webdispatcher.
    I am sorry, but this is not true. Web dispatcher can route pretty much any TCP/IP protocol. In most cases it is used for routing HTTP/S (not only for browsers), but it can transfer a binary format as well. One time I even used web dispatcher to do port forwarding for Microsoft WTS.

  • Error when starting Adobe Form

    I have an Adobe Form which works Ok in the development SAP Portal, but that, when I log in the production portal gives the following error:
    Error when reinitializing the form (I guess, it's Error al reinicializar el formulario, in Spanish)
    I think maybe there is something missing to transport, or some misconfiguration, but I haven't been able so far to find it...
    Can someone give me a hand?
    Thank you in advance,
    S.

    Hi,
    Can you tell me when does the error message comes? Does it comes when you are trying to open the Form or when you are trying to execute it.
    Please check if it is still working in the development box?

  • Want to use Adobe forms departmentally.  How many users per license?

    How many people can use Adobe Forms per license/how many computers can we download software to?

    Adobe FormsCentral is a web-based app so there is nothing to download - you access from the web browser.
    Each users who creates forms needs a license of FormsCentral. In a month or so you'll be able to by a team pack (5,10,25) at reduces prices for a larger group who wants to create forms.

  • How to print page numbers in adobe form

    Hi,
    Can anybody tell me how to print page numbers in adobe form.
    Thanks in advance
    Chaitanya

    Hi,
    Yes the field page n of m is used normally for printing page numbers. But it won't display the current page of total pages by itself. You have to set the run time property to n (current page ) and m (Total number of pages). Carefully select the # (current page ) and ## (Total number of pages). Hope this works for you.
    My requirement is to have the user control on current page. For Example:
    Example for a Invoice with 5 PO items (stands on 2 pages) :
    1st  page is the letter : no page number
    2nd page is the 1st page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
    3rd page is the 2nd page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
    4th page is the 1st page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
    5th page is the 2nd page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
    Presently i cam getting the current page number for page 4th as 3 / 2 and for 5th page 4 / 2. I could able to control the total number of pages from print program. But when i am printing the second copy (4th and 5th pages), I couldn't able to control the current page number. I need to initialize the Current page count (4th page ) as 1.
    I have used the follwing java scripting:
    this.rawValue = wv_pages - xfa.layout.page(this)
    where wv_pages is total no of pages calculated from print program.
    Please help me in this regard with some formcal or java scripting conditions.
    Thank You,
    Regards,
    Naresh.
