REG: Hiding Objects in adobe forms

Dear Experts,
I am working on interactive forms. I have some queries which are as following:
- I am designing an adobe template with a subform to be diplayed when required else not. I tried the visibility option but it seems it has to be done using Scripts.
- In the scripts editor, I am using a script to make a particular sub form invisible:
xfa.form.Vn_DataSource.pageSet.Page1.SubForm_AlertStamp.presence="Hide"
-This is giving me error like:
accessor-unkown if I keep it at datasource and run it at the initialize.
-If I keep the code at the particular subform and run it at initialize, it gives me an error like:
Invalid enumerated value: hide
I am unable to understand where to keep my code or whether I need to do some modifications in the script?
-I am using FormCalc.
Also, Is it possible to have a attribute of type integer and call it in the script to check if it is 0, I need to display the subform else not.
I hope I am clear with my queries. Helpful answers will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Gaurav.

Hi Reema,
Thanks for your reply, but when I am using the following code:
xfa.form.Vn_DataSource.pageSet.Page1.SubForm_AlertStamp.presence="hidden"
It's giving me an error like:
Script failed: Accessor xfa.form.Vn_DataSource.pageSet.Page1.SubForm_AlertStamp.presence is unknown.
I am writing this code at the node initialize and I tried writing it at the sub form also. Can you please suggest me why I am getting this error? Is that a code error or I am writing it at a wrong place?
Thanks in advance
Warm Regards,
Gaurav

Hiding Pages in ADOBE form using formcalc scripting.

Hi Experts,
I am new to ADOBE form and currently working on invoice print output. (NOT an Interactive adobe form)
My requirement is
i wanted to print one main page and 5 different annexures(anexures are having different layouts so is in diff forms and contained in diff pages)
Deppending on 'Oreder reason' (made as global variable) , i need to select appropriate annexure and print
main page and any one of the annexure.
so i should hide all other annexure, to achive this i used formcalc scripting.
i tried hiding annexure 2 by following code,
data.Annexure2::ready:form - (FormCalc, client)
if ( data.G_F_ORDER_REASON.rawValue == "ANX" )
then $.presence = "hidden"
endif
i have passed value 'ANX' to this , i could see the value of order reason printed on page Annexure2 but it is not executing (getting in to if condition) condition and not hiding the page ...
Experts please help me...
this way i have to hide 4 other annexures...please help me or give me some other option to achive this.
thanks and regards

coding Formcalc is a pain.
But you're doing the right thing by passing in a variable and hiding based on the content of it.
Here's an example of where I'm hiding a subform on a page.
if ( main_sf2.charter_only.CHARTER_DOC.rawValue eq "X" ) then
main_sf2.pts_sf.presence = "visible"
else
main_sf2.pts_sf.presence = "hidden"
endif
Looks like your code is similar - try changing
( data.G_F_ORDER_REASON.rawValue == "ANX" ) to
( data.G_F_ORDER_REASON.rawValue eq "ANX" )
or instead of $.presence = "hidden" fully qualify the name of your page to data.Annexure2.presence = "hidden"

DB2 Connectivity Trough ADO Objects in Adobe Form Designer

Hi,
We are using
Adobe Workflow Server 6.2 and
Adobe Form Designer 5 to develop forms. In forms we have to display some information retrieved from IBM's DB2 database at two different stages. First at the beginning of the process, for which we have scripts in the process which are working fine. Second at run time, i.e., the user will enter ID of an employee and we have to retrieve the corresponding information of that employee. For that we are using ADO objects, provided in the form designer.
The problem that we are facing is that these forms uses ActiveX controls and they are executed on the client's PC. At run time when we try to access the DB2 database we get an ODBC error:
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified, because the DSN is on the server not on the client's PC. The forms are working fine on those PC that have DB2 client installed on them.
We want that ADO object to be executed on the server not on the client's PC. Is there any way or doing so? Or is there any other solution?
Please let me know asap as I have been facing this problem for many days.
Thanks.
--Khan.

Khan--
Your best bet in my opinion would be to drop the use of the Adobe ADO Object and switch to one of the following db connectivity scenarios.
- MS Remote \ RDS; has some MS security draw backs but allows remote access to a db from a single DSN.
"+" : Much faster to deliver
"-" : Have to work around MS server \ browser security issues
- Custom solution using xml DOM \ SOAP calls to pass your data requirements to an ASP \ ASP.NET component. This component would be used to execute the sql statement read from xml package then return that result back to the form.
"+" : Increase in performance due to server side execution, very little MS Security implications
"-" : Not a quick solution to build as it involves many different components to function
Hope this helps somewhat...

Hiding subform in adobe forms

go to palettes and select script editor. you will find a white colored editor.
Click on the subform which is to be hidden in the heirarchy.
Select Initialize from the drop down list on the editor. And select Language as FormCalc.
You'll get the white space in the editor to write the code.
if the subform which is to be hidden is SUBFORM1.
then write the code as follows
$.SUBFORM1.presence = "hidden"
this will hide the sunform.
if the hiding of the subform is dependent on any condition then we can write the code as follows
if ( condition ) then
$.SUBFORM1.presence = "hidden"
endif
this code will hide the subform and all the elements in the subform only if the condition is satisfied.

Reg : Heading display in Adobe Forms

I have Created an appln using Adobe Forms.
In Body Pages Data is displayed with Heading. I have given Flowed Option for mulitple pages display.I want the Heading
to be reflected in all the body pages.
I don't want to display it in Master Page bcos I am displaying some text in first body pages continued by the table.
Any option is there for getting Heading in all the Table display pages only. Thnks in advance...

Hi
Go to the Table in the body page -> then select the Header row only -> right click on the header row -> Go to Palletes -> Object -> Under pagination tab -> Check the check box Include Header Row in Subsequent Pages .
Then save and active it. Try this one. I think it will solve your problem.

Hi Andre,
If I use Adobe Livecycle Designer, I need to create the whole application from the scratch which will take too much time.
So, I'm finding out if there is a way to reuse the application that's already available.

Hi Narsimha,
I think the standard program may not have functionality for sending mail .
Check for nast-nacha value, see the code below
CASE gs_nast-nacha.
    WHEN gc_nacha-external_send.
*     Proccess communication type
      cs_outputparams-getpdf = gc_true.
      cv_device              = gc_device-email.
    WHEN gc_nacha-printer.
*     Print
      cv_device                    = gc_device-printer.
    WHEN gc_nacha-fax.
*     Fax
      cs_outputparams-getpdf       = gc_true.
      cv_device                    = gc_device-fax.
ENDCASE.
After fp_jobclose write these lines
CASE lv_device.
    WHEN gc_device-fax
      OR gc_device-email.
* Code to send PDF file as mail attachment should be written within these lines
      PERFORM send_data using lv_pdffile.
ENDCASE.

Reg: Label printing in Adobe forms

Hi All,
I am working on Adobe forms for printing labels. For that I have created 10 content areas on the master page and properly aligned all the fields such a way that they fit into the content area exactly.
I am having two subforms with names subform1 & subform2. I have wrapped all fields in subform2 and placed it in the subform1.
Properties of subform1 : I have set it as flowed and set after as 'Go to next content area'
Properties of subform2 : I have set it as positioned and set after as 'Continue filling parent'
The problem here is when I am trying to print 10 labels, all the labels are printed on one page and another empty page is getting displayed. Please provide me some hit for avoiding this blank page. [The data in the labels are exactly fitting into the content area]
let me know if you eed any other information.
Thanks,
Raveendra.P

Hi Gold,
I am not very sure...but with the easy solution you gave for my problem...I think one label will be printed per page. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I think when we use subform..we will set it as flowed and when data exceeds it moves to next page
Also give me some hint why empty page is getting displayed in my case.

Hiding Fields in Adobe Form

Hi,
I have some fields in my form that i want to hide. I added in some javascript into the button-click event. When previewing in the Adobe LiveCycle Designer, the fields are hidden successfully,but when i press F8 button the fields are not able to hide.
My JavaScript is:
if(this.rawValue == null)
this.presence = "hidden";
Thanks.

Hi,
you can use as below,
below Scripting can be used to ahcive this.
1. FormCalc Scripting.
2. JavaScript.
Combination of both is also allowed in same form.
Example:
if( hasValue($) ) then
StaticText1.presence eq u2018visibleu2019
Else
StaticText1.presence eq u2018hiddenu2019
Endif.
Thanks,
Chandra

Reg shifting field in Adobe Forms

Hi All-
I am working on Adobe.I have a requirement that at top I will have a table and after that some text will come.
when i am fixing position of downword Text and the no of rows increasing in Table,its overlap on lower level data.
plese provide me solution for that.
Thanks-
Ashutosh

As stated above, you will have to implement subforms. this can get a little tricky if you have content you want positioned on a form along side flowed content.
Generally, my PDF is a combination of positioned and flowed subforms because when you make a subform flowed, it will squish your fields/data all together.
There are 2 types of flowing forms - western text and top to bottom. Top to Bottom will squeeze your fields right underneath each other.
Western Text will wrap your fields from left to right.
If you go this route, a tip is to make use of spacing options in your Layout to force space between your fields.
