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.

Hi,
Write the following script at the exit event of your text field.
if ( $.rawValue == null )
then
$host.messageBox("Please Enter Value")
$host.setFocus("TextField1");
endif
Here TextField1 is the name of the text field.

Hide a row or field in adobe form

Hi guys,
Can any one suggest me how to hide a field in adobe form.
My scenario is:
Using control levels for deliveries with item data, if the item line is only one, then I should not display any subtotal field, if item lines are more than one, only then i need to display subtotal field in adobe form.
Subtotals are maintained at item level not at the page level.
Can any provide solution with scripting.
Thanks.
RP.

One way is have some variable which tells how many rows of data is present. Check it and then make subtotal
visible or hidden. The script will be like below.
if (rownum.rawValue == 1) then
this.presence = 'hidden'
else
this.presence = 'visible'
endif
Thanks,

Just an idea, but you might try re-printing that original PDF file to the Adobe PDF printer (saving it as another pdf file, essentially). Then try again to add form fields. (You can copy the form fields you've already created and paste them onto the new file -- just copy and paste while in forms edit mode). A second shot in the dark if the first doesn't work might be to try again, but change the print settings when printing to PDF. I've ready some reports that the dpi setting can have an effect. Maybe go from 600 to 150 and see if that works. Let me know which, if either, of these ideas works.

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,

Setting Image field in adobe form

Hello Gurus,
I have a question setting the image field dynamically.
I have created a following context structure for
DataSource(ValueNode Cardinality (1..1))->imagenode(Valuenode Cardinalty(0..n))->image(Value attribute))
I have binded the Datasource node to the Datasource of the interactive form.
I have dynmaically created the imagenode and set the value for the image.
for(int i=1;i<5;i++)
         image= wdContext.createIImagenodeElement();
                          if(i==1)
                         image.setImage("http://Image1.png");
          if(i==2)
          image.setImage("http://Image2.png");
          if(i==3)
          image.setImage("http://Image3.png");
          if(i==4)
          image.setImage("http://Image4.png");
          wdContext.nodeImagenode().addElement(image);
Now I want to set this node to the image field in adobe.
In URL of the image field I have enterted $record.imagenode[*].image and its not working where as the same thing works for text field.
Please let me know if any one has any idea on this.
Thanks,

Hi Naresh,
Copy the images to src -> mimes - > Components of your development component / project.
To the value node set the url like the following way ...
http://<hostname>:<port number>/webdynpro/resources/image.gif
Thanks

Can I insert a signature field in adobe forms??

- Using a template in adobe forms and wonder if I can collect a signature ID?

Formscentral does not support a signature field type at this time. If you need a signature you might look at our Echosign product or perhaps creating and distributing your form in Acrobat.

Percentage field in Adobe forms

Hi
I have a requirement to display a percentage field with 2 decimal places in an Adobe form e.g. 75.00%.
The field has been declared as type ANZHL (DEC Length=7 Decimals=2) in a data dictionary structure.
When debugging the controlling program and the actual function module generated for the form itself the contents of the field is 75.00.
In the layout of the form the field has been created as a Decimal field with Display pattern and Data pattern of num{zzzz9.zz%}.
However, when the form is previewed or printed the field is displayed as 7500%.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
Thanks

Hello
I know this is quite old topic, but for future reference another solution is to use '%' in the pattern.
For example:
you have decimal value 75.00,
- when using pattern num{zz.99%}, it will output 7500%
- when using pattern num{zz.99 '%'}, it will output % as a string, and the whole output will be 75.00 %
So in second case you don't need any extra (floating or text) field to have percentage in.

Numeric Field in Adobe Form

Hi,
I'm trying to display a numeric field in an Adobe Form. The issue is that the decimal part of the the field is getting truncated when I view the Adobe Form in Print Preview.
The numeric field is of the form -6,213.19. In the form the value appears as -6,213.1 . I'm not able to understand why this value is getting truncated. I've tried all the numeric and decimal patters available but with no luck.
Could you please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Sandeep.

Hi
You dont specify any patterns. You just simply drag and drop the Numeric field on the layout and then right click on the field
go to Pallets -> Object -> Value tab -> here you specify your value -6,213.19.->In Binding tab -> Data format as Float. and then check the priview in PDF its printing the same as -6,213.19.
Try this once. It will work i checked it . Its working
Thanks

Update fields from Adobe Form to Table

Hello,
I want to integrate Adobe Form into Webdynpro ABAP Application in which I want to have 2 fields which need to be updated to a DB Table.
For this first I created an Interface in Transaction SFP , added 2 import parameters of type <Table Type>-<FieldName>. Then I created a Webdynpro Component created a new I Interactive Form UI Element and binded the Context of the Form to the Interface.
Then I added 2 fields to the form from Data View . Everything is fine but when I run the Webdynpro Application the fields are not available for Input.i.e. They are in the ReadOnly Mode.
The 'enabled' property of the Interactive Form is checked.
Please help.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Edited by: SAPEPDeveloper on Feb 7, 2011 11:45 PM

Hi,
The process explained is ok, but I can explain you a better way.
1) Create the webDynpro Component first.
2) Create the context nodes as per the requirement.
3) From the 'integration' panel drag and drop the Interactive form UI element into the view.
4) Bind dataSource to root context node.
5) Check enabled property true.
6) Give a template source name (ZName).
7) On double clicking the template source, system will prompt you to enter the interface name. Map context node to the interface.
8) Interface gets created automatically and the lifecycle designer gets opened.
9) Goto the properties tab and give layout type as 'ZCI Layout'
10) Drag and drop required fields from the data view to the layout designer.
11) Insert webdynpro script from the Utilities
12) Edit -> Form Properties -> Defaults -> XDP Preview Format should be dynamic
13) Drag and drop 'Submit Button' from Library palette -> Webdynpro native controls
On clicking the submit button at runtime you will get the control in the webdynpro submit event.
Above all these you have to check with your basis team, that the 'usage credentials' have been applied while configuring the ADS. Go to SE38 and run the program 'FP_TEST_IA_01' and check whether it is giving an error message or not.
Hope this Helps.
Thanks & Regards,

Setting a Text field in adobe form non editable

Hi Experts,
I have generated a Adobe form using webdynpro java. I have couple text fields. They are binded with some values which a RFC returns. When I see the output These text fiels values which are populated from backend are editable. Can anyone suggest me how to make these text fields non editable.
Thanks,
Raj

Hi Raj,
You have to set the properties of these text field as readonly.
For this you have to select the text field ... Go to the Object Pallete.
There you will see three Tabs Field, Value and Binding.
You have to click on Value Tab and there you have select the Type as Read Only.
If you do not have Object Pallet open .. go to Menu Bar Window and Click Object
This will solve your problem.

Hiding Windows, fields in adobe forms

Hello,
I am new to adobe forms and presently working on one requirement.
My form got 3 pages, on first page i have one table. i) If the table contains only one row i have to hide the entire page.
ii) On the second page i have Po details and on third page I have SO and FI details. If the tables for PO, SO or FI are empty i need to hide the windows.
iii) Current Page/ total Page no : This field needs to be displayed from second page and once the form repeats for another input value these two needs to be initialized and start counting based on the data extension to multiple pages. Presently printing starting from 1st page.
I have all the flags First_page_flag, Second_page_flag, third_page_so and third_page_Fi flags controlled from print program and are available in the context menu but not on the LAYOUT.
I also tried the following code to hide the page but it didn't work out: (Initialize)
var pdisplay = xfa.resolveNode("Table_PO[*]");
if(pdisplay.value == NULL)
pdisplay.presence = "hidden";
I could able to hide the windows, subforms and fields with out the flag check via java scripting.
this.presence = "hidden"; but don't know how to use these flags in script editor to hide all these.
Can any one help me to achieve these functionalities for which i will be so thankful to you.
Best Regards,
Naresh.

Hi Vibhav, Hi Aravind,
I closed my layout and run the program. But still getting the same error.
For Tables in PAGE 2 and PAGE 3
Anyways I could able to hide the TABLES (Sub forms - Page 2 & 3) now by including and hiding the flags(WV_SDISPLAY, WV_FDISPLAY) in the respective subforms. I have used the following JAVA scripting to achieve this in initialization event:
if(this.WV_SDISPLAY.rawValue = "X")
this.presence = "hidden".
For PAGE hide:
But, in my requirement i have to hide the FIRST PAGE and not the TABLE, if the table(subform) containes one row. I set a flag wv_idisplay in the program. Now if i include this flag under this table and follow the same JAVA scripting mentioned above it is not working.
if(this.WV_IDISPLAY.rawValue = "X")
this.presence = "hidden".
Also, from some of the threads and by the comments of Gold Otto, I could understand that, to hide a Master page, i need to put the condition on it's associated subform and i am proceeding with this logic.
Could you please help me if this is not the correct approach. Also, request you to send me some sample Java Script to hide a PAGE.
Thank You,
Regards,
Naresh.

To make TEXT field in adobe forms dynamic

Hi Experts,
I have requirement in adobe forms where based on certain condition I want change the TEXT field accordingly.
Example if material number in of gas type than text will be "GAS MATERIAL" and then populating corresponding material number.
If itu2019s of hard goods type than text has be "HARD GOODS MATERIAL".
Please let me how this requirement can be achieved ASAP.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Aks.

Hi,
Yes you can definitely make a field dynamic. Bind the text fields with varibale of type Material Number and its description which will have to create in the context (Interface) of the adobe forms. These values you can pass from your driver program or Web-Dynpro.

Runal.
