Issue with using Dropdown in Adobe forms

Hi Gurus,
I am facing an issue with dropdown values after binding with a field in a table,
The first value in the dropdown is getting replaced by the selected value in dropdown in interactive adobe form.
Has any one come across this issue. Please guide me.
Regards,
Prakash.

Hi Prakash,
Do not use Data Binding tab to bind the Drop down,
Select Specify Item Values
There in binding tab specify binding and there are few more options to specify Item Text and Item Value.
Please find the below screenshot for the same.

Pre fill Dropdown in adobe form using WD ABAP

Hi Experts,
I am creating an adobe form and I want to prefill the dropdown in the form with data while downloading it from web dynpro abap component. Once the form is downloaded I also want these selected values from dropdown to map in database in offline scenario.
Please suggest.
Warm Regards,

Hi Sai,
I have similar kind of issue here for dropdown list . I have tried to populate the values in drop down list by binding the field-text and value properties witht he internal table where the internal table has all the values required for the dd list . I have concatenated the value and the text in one field of the internal table so that both of them would be displayed when the user cliclk the dropdown field on the PDF form . but whent he user selects a value , I need to take only the value but not the text . for ex: drop down list for company code -shows 1000 company 1
2000 company2 , then if the user selects 2nd vaue , the value in the company code field should display 2000 only similar to the SAP standard F4 help. Please tell me how to achieve this . I have searched for this kind of issue in the forum but couldn't find any.
Iam using Standrd Drop down list and I have intergrated the form with Webdynpro ABAP . is there a way for the issue or if there is any possibility at the first instance to populate the drop down with both ID and text ( like EN English )as per SAP standard for language so that I could avoid the use of internal table for concatenating both value and text . otherwise it only dislays either value or the text on drop down.
Appreciate your help asap.

Regarding Migration to Adobe Forms

Hi Friends
 I am working on adobe print forms.
I have one doubt that is If SAP itself providing the option migrate smartform to Adobe Interactive form, what's the necessity to create the forms from scratch i.e why we have to create Interface,Context and Forms.
Is we get any flwas by simply migrating the smartform to adobe interactive form?
Please anyone explain me?
Points are assured for useful ansers.
Regards,
Sree

yes u can convert smartform into pdf. follow these steps.
1. first call your smart form as u do.
e.g. CALL FUNCTION '/1BCDWB/SF00000127'
in this just activate these two also
 IMPORTING
 DOCUMENT_OUTPUT_INFO = it_tab1
and this internal table (it_tab1) it will store the data of smart form.
2. then call fm to convert it_tab1 data into pdf.
call convert_otf
and in this fm just pass it_tab1.
EXPORTING
 format = 'DOC'
IMPORTING
 bin_filesize = v_pdf_len
TABLES
 otf = it_tab1
 lines = pdf_table
EXCEPTIONS
 err_max_linewidth = 1
 err_format = 2
 err_conv_not_possible = 3
 err_bad_otf = 4
 OTHERS = 5.
3. now u can save this fm on your local system.
second method
apart from allowing sap to convert your smart form to pdf u can also do it by downloading two software files
and then install it in your local system.
links for those files are.
http://www.pdf995.com/download.html
and download pdf printer driver from here
after that goto printer setup and make PDF995 as default printer.
and finally when your smart form is ready to print just click on print button then as your default printer is pdf995 it will convert your smartform into pdf and that u can save it in your system.
plz reward point .

Performance issue with Adobe forms

Dear SAP Experts,
We have the following issue/requirement from our client. The client is on SAP ECC 6.0 - production environment.
The client is highlighting performance issue while accessing the adobe forms for HR and FI business process ( both static and interactive ).
                Examples are
    FI – Invoice Approvals
                HR – Job Salary Change
The client is asking us to provide best practices surrounding:
1.       How to improve the performance of the adobe forms while accessing in SAP.
2.       Is there any other technology which we can use in SAP to replace the adobe forms which has better performance factor.
3.       Are there solutions such as webdynpro floor plan manager, UI Fiori which can be alternately used?
Regards,
Sakthi

Hello Priya,
     Adobe forms are easy to develop and much more comfortable than SAP Scripts and Smartforms. Initially they are a bit difficult but once you have your hands on, they are the most simplest things in ABAP.
Performance in Adobe forms is a mix of both fine tuning the Layout as well as back end coding.
Performance in Adobe forms cannot be done overnight. A lot of care has to be taken during the initial stage of development.
As far as my experience is concerned, please consider the below points while developing SAP Adobe forms.
1) Avoid Scripting (Javascript/Formcalc) as much as possible inside the form. It drastically reduces the performance and makes the form to execute slower. If you still want to use scripting(which cannot be avoided for some requirements), use Formcalc since it is comparatively faster than JavaScript.
2) Try to avoid the coding inside the Form Interface. You can always handle the maximum coding in the Driver program and pass it to the form.
3) Use Form Caching.
For forms that have fixed layout, its a good way to increase the performance of form rendering. In the layout, go to Form Properties. Then Click on Defaults tab and select Allow Form Rendering To Be Cached On Server. Then Click OK.
For forms that have flowable or dynamic layout, render the forms on the client side because it improves performance.
Last but not the least, please go through the below post by Otto Gold which is worth a read at least once.

Dynamic screen changes in adobe form

Hi Experts,
I have an adobe form with a form type radio button. Based on the form type selected (radio button), some of the fields on the adobe form should become editable and some uneditable.
How is it achievable? Please advise.
Thanks,
Shobhit

Hi Shobit,
This can be achieved using Scripting.
To make a field non editable
write ->
$.access = "readOnly"
You may please refer the adobe lifecycle designer help and also there are few blogs in SDN regarding - SAcripting in Adobe forms.
Hope these would help.

Adobe form central shutting down.

Hi
I am not very happy regarding the way adobe form central has been announced its shutting down, I have received no email regarding this issue only notification on log into my account.
there are no support or option to contact adobe regarding this matter.
I am a fully paid subscriber to the annual service and adobe are closing Form Central in June - My subscription is paid for a full year until dec 2015. I expect at the very least adobe to address annual subscribers and the fact they will no longer be providing a service mid way through their paid year. Combined with the fact i have many active forms.
The service from adobe when it comes to this sort of issue and support has been unacceptable.

Hi!
Many competitors of FormsCentral are checking these forums to help support the displaced users. I'm among them, with JotForm. =)
Our founder wrote a review of how the closure was handled, if it's of interest:
https://medium.com/design-of-a-technology-business/how-to-handle-a-saas-product-shut-down- 9ee92b5f6ec3
The best news is they gave everyone six months to make alternate plans. The blog announcement includes some alternatives, which we were happy to be included on.
FormsCentral is retiring | Adobe Acrobat Blog
JotForm just announced today that we have a one-step Import Wizard, which will migrates all your Adobe forms and response data, into our system. It just takes a minute. We expect it's by far the easiest migration tool available, should you choose to use our service long term.

Best of luck finding an alternate service, and we welcome your feedback.

How to have multi select dropdowns for web request and adobe forms

Hi All,
I am working on interactive forms for CRM 7.0 using web request and ZCI layout.
When I say web request we define the fields required for the form in CRM that becomes the context for WDA and passed onto Adobe form.
This web request is a flat structure which mean if I have a node and attributes with in that you cant have multiple values to wards this node as in WDA.
Now My query:
I have a field called "xyz" since web request is a flat structure i just defined it as a string.
In WDA I made it a enumrated field and added key value pairs to it.
In Adobe form I binded this field to a WD native enum dropdown list every thing is fine untill here.
Now in the form I need this as a multiple select, so i changed the dropdown field to list box it works.
The form has to be submitted as a draft version when did so, it will not execute any APIs but saves the data to the web request.
When the same form is opened for the next time, with the data in web request it should reopen this field with the multiple seleced values high lighted.
since the field xyz is a single filed of string, how can i maintain multiple values in that...?
if there is a form status auto save function in Adobe form this might solve a bit but not sure when the form is opened 2nd time from web reqest view does it consider it as a new one or open the same form...?
I have such dropdown fields and problems including ones with depenedt values on one another.
I tried my best to explain the problem, if somebody can help me with this its much appriciated.
Note: Since this is dependent on CRM web request I am posting the same query in that block also apologies if this mean a duplicacy.
Thanks & Regards,
Sai

I got the solution and problem is solved.
Iterating & processing a enumrated dropdown is like any other dropdown /list box in adobe forms.

Information regarding Adobe forms

Dear Gurus,
I need some basic information regarding adobe forms to be used in ESS MSS portal for doing some basic actions by managers like hiring/maintenance of data for his subordinates.
Are there any specific system requirements so that adobe forms display in browser without any problems? Is there any specific internet browser which works without any problems?
What time is considered to be best time in which an empty form can be displayed?
In one line what is the acceptable time for a form to load which is not considered as slow and is it linked with network connections or individual systems of end users?
Need your kind inputs on this topic........
Regards,
kitchlu

Form works in IE 6, 7, 8 and Firefox
Make sure you have adobe products above 8.1 (includes all adobe products)
In Reader -> Edit -> Preference -> Internet - you have setting to display pdf in browser.
For a small form with limited fields, 5-10 seconds launching time can be achieved.
Performance depends on number of fields, User events, no of backend calls, number of dropdown boxes, Servce size, Network etc etc. Optimized code is another aspect to look into
