Rendering dynamic layout on PDF

Hello All,
I am trying to render and PDF( Using Webdynpro for Java ) with some text fields, And i want to hide few fileds based on some check.
Any idea how to hidd it, If at all i hide an text filed, is there any way to render the next text field in that place instead of blank space.
Regards,
Trikanth

Hi Trikanth,
example javascript for hiding textField:
xfa.resolveNode("data.subPage1.subFlowed.TextField1").presence="hidden";
I think that http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/lc_designer_scripting_basics/lc_designer_scripting_basics.pdf can help you, especially pages 11 and 20 (To insert object reference syntax automatically).
And as Krish wrote your form must be dynamic for this functionality.

Rendering Dynamic Attribute in PDF

Hi,
      I need to render a PDF dynamically.
If I have a context node in java web dynpro with 3 attributes
Ex: Employee - Node
      - empId - Attr1
      - empName - Attr2
      - city - Attr3
But I can add an attribute(country) dynamically and this attribute has to be displayed in the dynamic Form as a Label/Text View pair. Is this possible? Do I need to write a Javascript for this using the form designer.
   Actually we need to add dynamic configuration. Here for all those attributes that are available at Design time. I can drag-drop in the form Designer and create a TextView/Label for these attributes. I can write a Javascript in the form to make the attributes(Lable/TextView) as visible or invisble based on the selection of the corresponding attributes in the web dynpro side.
   But I need to know how to do the same for a dynamic attribute that is created in Web dynpro at Run-time?

Sherfuddin

Dynamic Images in PDF and Escaping Special Characters

I used the following to create my own PDFs with dymnamic images:
http://marcsewtz.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html (Dynamic Images in PDF - What 32k Limit? )
I have installed this application on Oracle's free workspace to test.
The issue I am having is that when there is a special character in the description, such as <>'"& then the the PDF will not open. I have tried using the dmbs_xmlgen.convert to convert the description but haven't had any luck.
I'm a complete novice with xml. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Glen

I have been able to find a solution, but it's not completely perfect. I have changed the "description" field as follows:
XMLCdata(replace(description,''&'',''and'')) description,
The characters greater than (>), less than (<), single qoute('), and double quote (") can now all be in the description and will not cause errors. For some reason, I couldn't get the & not to give an error no matter what I tried, so I just replaced the & with the word "and". This solution will work for my needs, but it would be nice to be able to get the & to display.
Does anyone know of a way to get the & to display correctly?
Thanks again,
Glen
The complete code I am using is below:
declare
l_print_layout clob;
l_xml_data clob;
begin
-- load print layout from database
for c1 in (
select layout from eba_pdfimg_layouts where id = :P1_LAYOUT
) loop
l_print_layout := wwv_flow_utilities.blob_to_clob(c1.layout );
end loop;
-- generate XML data
for c2 in (
select dbms_xmlgen.getxml('
select
id,
file_name,
mime_type,
XMLCdata(replace(description,''&'',''and'')) description,
-- description,
blob2clobase64(image,''Y'') image
from eba_pdfimg_images
') xml_data from dual
) loop
l_xml_data := c2.xml_data;
end loop;
-- download print document
wwv_flow.g_page_text_generated := true;
apex_util.download_print_document (
p_file_name => 'image_demo',
p_content_disposition => 'ATTACHMENT',
p_report_data => l_xml_data ,
p_report_layout => l_print_layout,
p_report_layout_type => 'rtf',

Dynamic Images in PDF Report

Hi,
I want to create Badges from employee table (ID, NAME, JOB_TITLE, PHOTO). I downloaded and installed a demo application "USING DYNAMIC IMAGES IN PDF REPORT". It works fine with smale images < 20K. I'm getting the following error for images > 20K :
"ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: raw variable length too long"
it seems like a buffer problem.
could you pls help to solve this problem
Thanks,
Ribhi

Hi Carsten
That was exactly* I was looking for. Maybe I should Google more in German ;-)
The main problem was that I defined my image outside the first repeating group (that doesn't repeat, it's always just one object) - the first group is followed by 7 more.
Just like the "Name" (that's positioned outside the group in the document header), I positioned the image above the table representing the group.
Doing that, the "Name" is filled correctly, the Image only when the Output Format is Excel or HTML - not Word or PDF ... makes no sense but that's tje way it is.
After moving the image inside the group....it works great!
(One more thing...the image size is fixed to the image you use as "dummy". Is there any way to make that more flexible, because now some scaling happens...)???
@Trent: That was the way we initially did it, but when the size of the row exceeds 32K...you know what happens.. And even with a small image the 32K limit is hit easily
The way I use it now (very similar to Carsten's description) there is no limit....
Thank you all!

Sending an email of the layout in PDF attachement

Hello All,
I have written a program to send the layout in PDF format to send in a mail to the customer.
The email is going fne with the PDF attachement in the development box, but it is not working in Quality box.
In the Quality box the email is going but the attachement is not opening.
I have used CONVERT_OTF function module for converting OTF format to PDF format. As per my analysis it is returning the PDF format properly in Developement box but not the same in Quality. In Quality the the data returning in PDF format is not in proper manner. It is giving some junk data with symbols like traingle, rectange..etc..
I am using FM SO_OBJECT_SEND for sending an email.
Can you please suggest me what may be problem?
Valuable answers will be rewarded.
Thanks & Regards,
Satish.

Hi,
you need to save the File in PDF format not in the text format.

Dynamic layout elements determination logic for output of Pro-Forma Invoice

This is my requirement below. Please give the suggestion
Business requires output to be generated in name of the client, with client logo and scenario specific data elements. To do this in Standard SAP will require to define hundreds and hundreds of layouts. By making most of the client/scenario elements on the layout we can greatly reduce the number of required layouts and reduce implementatuion effort and lead-time.
     The goal is to define a generic table that will hold most of the dynamic layout elements for different document types and countries, including logo, sender address etc.
      For this we will create Z-versions of the output types BA00 ( Order Confirmation, ZPRI (Pro-Forma Invoice) and RD00 (ZD00 Invoice).The layout text blocks will be permanently fixed.The print Program user-exit should call the Z-table that holds the dynamic layout elements and retrieve these elements and merge them with the matching layout text block.
Message was edited by: janardhan b

Hi Janardhan,
   Even I have faced the similar situation.but what we have done is instead of calling the dynamic text elements..Why don't we call the text elements based on the required condition ,Then u dont have to maintain all the text elements required in the table.In the table we can only have the doumnent type,client name,logo name and address.
In the print program if u r using script layout then call the required text elements (write_text) based on the client name and document type that is fetched from the Z-table,Otherwise if u r going for smartforms then with in the layout give the condition under the conditions node of the window or the text.

Creating layout in PDF Based Form to print table content.

Hi ,
I am facing problem in creating the layout of PDF Based Form . I do not need any interactive text but only active table in my context whose data i need to print . What i did was drag the table from data view into the body page and activate . When i run it i only get a table structure but without any data .
Can any one help me or give a pointer to any tutorial for this ?. I have checked in SAPnet for PDF Based Print Form but it somehow skips how to create layout.
With regards,
Saurabh Kumar Pandey

Link to Dynamic Layout Record - Task

Hi All,
I have added a link from our activity report in to the task record. We use the dynamic layout quite a bit with the task record, however when drill down into the record from the report, Siebel displays the standard layout instead of the actual layout.
This nullifies the need since the screen should look totally different.
Anyone come across this and have a solution?
Thanks in advance.

you don't have to worry about all that.
just open up any activity that is read-only and copy-paste the code. Then in the Fx of the field that has values XXX or YYY, write the web-link code as the concatenation of strings and whenever you encounter the Activity ID, replace it with the fx of Activity ID and again concatenat it with the remainder of the string.
there are many questions in this forum regarding the same issue and i bet you will get your solution here only.

User exit for dynamic layout determination

Hello,
I would to know user exit name for dynamic layout determination for output type of Invoice and Order confirmation.
My user exit should get fired when user press the print preview button in VF03/VA03.
Regards,
Vimal Nair

Hi
I dont' think you need a user exit, but you should manage that directly in print program.
Infact you can choose which output type has to be or not to be loaded in a document by an user exit.
But only in print program you can know if the user has choosen print or print preview.
So check in TNAPR which print program are used for orders or invoice and change them or, if they are std program, you can copy them before changing them.
After calling the sapscript (fm OPEN_FORM) or smartform you can know if user press printpreview by reading the structure of export (like ITCPP for example).

Dynamically adding to PDF after applying Extended Reader Rights

All,
I've created a PDF with a digital signature in Acrobat X Pro and applied the extended Reader rights. What I am trying (and failing) to do now is add new pages to the PDF via a Java library (BFO) on a server. When a user eventually brings up the PDF in Reader, they receive a warning about how the extended rights have been revoked since the PDF has been modified. Is there any way to maintain the rights while building the PDFs? Or is the only way to dynamically build a PDF with a digital signature that can be user-signed in Reader through the LiveCycle/ADEP services?

You have to prepare the PDF BEFORE you add the extended Rights. Once it's been rights enabled, you can't modify it w/o breaking the rights.

Saving A Dynamic Rights Enabled PDF as a Static PDF

I'm searching for a solution to saving a dynamic rights enabled PDF order form as a state image once the user has completed the order form.
I can do so via the Print Form button if I have an Adobe PDF print driver in my print list. But, if no print driver is available for Reader 9 users to download and add to their print list, the only option seems to be "File > Save As" and that will render a PDF file that is still dynamically active.
The client wants the file to lock information before they submit it. They want to avoid a situation where someone could tamper with order information after the fact. Any suggestions on how I go about making this happen quickly?
I have to launch a set of forms next week. Your assistance is very much appreciated!

There's another post dealing with this that may be helpful, I've posted a link for you below.

Webdynpro Dynamic layout manipulation: error attaching elements to Group

Hi Experts,
I am trying to create dynamic layout during run time. Itu2019s working partially, but as soon as I add new u201CGroup elementu201D or new u201CTransparent elementu201D I am getting a null error. If I just use buttons, input field or text dynamically layout create it works fine. I want to group this fields in a groups or transparent container so that I can manipulate layout place containers where I need. As soon as I add other element (inputfield/button/text) to transparent element it errors. I have attached code below for more detail. Does anyone have similar issue? Lot of demo and example code show how to create elements (inputfield/button/text) none show how attach those element back to u201DGroupu201D or u201CTransparentu201D element.
I am creating dynamic elements in u201CViewu201D method u201CWDDOMODIFYVIEWu201D. Any idea or clue much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi
I suggest you create a transparent container at design time and then use the below code in wddomodify to get a reference to the transparent container.
DATA: lv_container TYPE string,
              lo_container TYPE REF TO cl_wd_transparent_container.
        lv_container = 'TransparentContainer'.
        lo_container ?= view->get_element( lv_container ).
        lo_container->add_child( lo_button ).
Hope this helps.
