Strange behaviour of Adobe Forms

Hi Experts,
I am using webdynpro Java with AIF on NW2004s SP9, Adobe Reader 7.0.9 with NWDS 7.0.09.
AIF is working fine when I access using Local area network and I am facing strange behaviour of AIF using dial-up access. I am not able to retrieve the parameters of Adobe forms when I access using dial-up connecting through VPN to portal server. whatever values I entered in Adobe UI fields where not showing up in webdynpro application. Same application is working fine with LAN and able to retrieve all parameter values of Adobe UI elements.
Dial-up is connecting at 50kbps speed and Adobe forms size is around 300kb.
Grab your points with correct answers.

Madhan

Strange behaviour in ORacle Forms Webutil 106 / Error message WUC-14 WUC-12

This is to inform you about a strange behaviour in Webutil V1.0.6
Hosting environment is Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 on Unix Solaris 10
Oracle Server 10.2.0.4.0 Enterprise Edition
Client-envionment : Windows 2000, IE 6
I created an Forms based application which reads in certain text files into the database using
Webutil. The data will get changed using the application with logic and lateron a different textfile
will be transmitted using either ftp or it may be created on the client side (again with Webutil).
This solution worked perfect for some time (a year or so) using CLIENT_TEXT_IO...
Hoewever, during the week, I recognized users coming up with the statement that the download
to the local client does not worked anymore in certain situations. The system is producing an error-msg
on the Form in the following sequence :
WUC-14 [getFromObjectCache] ...
WUC-14 [getFromObjectCache] ...
WUC-12 [FileFunctions.newLine()] ...
I traced the session and traced WebUtil, was able to reproduce the problem but could not find out the source
of it in the first place.
Hoewever, it came out, that part of the file being created on the client is a "¿" sign : hex :$BF
This was already part of the file being read in the first place, so the value is stored in the database.
There is no problem when reading a file having a content like this with CLIENT_TEXT_IO but there obviously is one
when writing it to the local client.
The file is getting processed on the client and gets closed with CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FCLOSE.
After the FCLOSE statement is getting processed, the above errors occurs, The length of the produced file is then : 0 bytes ^^
Whenever facing a problem like this check the content of the file you are trying to create.
Workaround was :
- set workingDirectory in formsweb.cfg
- using Forms based TEXT_IO rather than CLIENT_TEXT_IO to create the file on the backend side (Apps-server)
- implement WEBUTIL_FILE_TRANSFER.AS_To_Client_With_Progress to download the file to the client
In order to make it a little bit "colourful" I implemented a bean with progressbar when creating the file on the back end side
Works perfect... and looks nice :)

Hi Andreas,
install.syslib.location.client.0=webutil\syslibi found the above line over google but when i check my webutility configuration file i didn't found it there. I added this line after the line i have mentioned in previous post but this also not worked. And then i worked on changing permission over folder.
HI XeM
Your adding location is ok. But i suggest try something different. Change the above line to
/* i'm confuse with the \ or / *\
install.syslib.location.client.0=\webutil
or
install.syslib.location.client.0=/webutilAnd do the following work In the client
1. Close ALL open browsers.
2. On the client machine search all directories for webutil.*properties and delete all instances of that file.
3. Delete d2kwut60.dll, JNIsharedstubs.dll, and jacob.dll from the JRE\bin directory.
4. Clear the JRE jar cache. This can be done several ways, but using the Java Control Panel is likely the easiest and safest.
Now stop the OC4J instance and start again and try at client...
Hope this works...
If works... please post the solutions.

Strange behaviour master-detail form

Hi,
So after much fiddling around I got my Master-Detail (MD) form working. Currently both the master and detail panels are visible at the same time one above the other. This works alright. When I enter new data in Master and press "commit" button, the data in master pane stays visible. When I press "add new row" in Detail panel, the value of PK is displayed in FK of Detail pane. All very well.
What I want to do now is to put master and detail in JtabbedPane format. Now this causes a problem, when I press "commit" in Master pane, the data in master pane just vanishes and when I press "add new row" in Detail panel, the value in PK of Master doesn't appear in FK of Detail panel.
Why so?
I have done the following steps
1. Create a new JClient Form. Actually I don't need a form but master-detail can not be created in JClient Panel.
2. Modified the master pane code by adding
public PanelExperimentViewMD1() //made public by Mahendra
//Added by Mahendra
JUMetaObjectManager.setBaseErrorHandler(new JUErrorHandlerDialog());
JUApplication app = JUMetaObjectManager.createApplicationObject("MAGEMLexport.ExperimentModule", null, new JUEnvInfoProvider());
panelBinding.setApplication(app);
panelBinding.executeIfNeeded();
try{
jbInit();
catch (Exception ex)
ex.printStackTrace();
3. Modify Detail panel code by adding the same line as above.
4. Created a JTabbedPane and added the above two panes to it using addTab method.
That's all. What I did do or didn't do to make this work just like the JClient Form I created earlier in which both panels are together?
Regards,
Mahendra
PS- If there is any other effective way of separating M-D panels, please let me know.

Hi,
All of you must be wondering why I want to disable navigation buttons.
Here is the full problem, may be there is a better solution.
I have a Person entity and a Description entity with 1..1 cardinality. Now Description can not exist without a Person but a Person can without a Description. So I used a Master-Detail view-link. However, I want to prevent user from entering more than one description into the Detail panel. To achieve this, I removed +, - buttons and navigation buttons in master and detail panel. The master panel opens in INSERT mode so I don't need +,- buttons in master panel and hence I don't need navifation buton either.
Hope this helps in defining my problem.

Hi Satya & sanjyoti,
I am facing a pecular problem in using Adobe forms.
I am able to pass data from webdynpo application, to the Interactive form(using mappings, as mentioned by satya).
But for the same form & WD application, i am not able to pass data from the Interactive Form, back to the WD application.
My scenario is like this:
I need to show a form, with some prefilled data, such as date, userID, etc. I populate the node in my WD application, & then call the form.
The form displays the above prefilled data. Now the user has to fill the remaining fields & click on submit(Submit-to-sap button). The onsubmit property of the Interactive form is mapped to a onaction event, where WD tries to read the data entered by the user.
The problem is that on clicking of the submit button in the form, the event is not getting called.
If i use a button in the WD view itself, then the action gets called, but there is no data. In short, the data is NOT getting passed from Interactive form to WD application.
Can you please help me out with this?
Thanks,
Hanoz

Adobe forms issue with signature pads

Hi everyone,
I am new to and just joined this forum as I never had to until this point. I am having some strange issue with adobe forms and using signature pad.
I have a form built using adobe X. I am using Topaz signature pad to have a digital signature in my form. My application (which was built on Progress 4GL) opens up this form using rich text editor. Most of my clients remote login to use the application. Every now and then my clients complain that whenever they click on the signature field on the form to open up the signature pad window, it kicks them out of the whole application. This happens so randomly that they can't predict when it occurs. I logged each and every lines on my code to see if there's any issue with the codes but they all execute fine. And I can't log after the form is open as adobe takes the control and they handle the communication with signaute pad. So far I have checked if there's any memory leakage that would kick me out and it's fine. And I think there's no driver issue as this happens randomly. A client who gets kicked out 1st time if tries the 2nd or 3 rd time following the same steps and same form, can successfully gets the job done.
Have any of you had faced similar issue. If you have any solutions or ideas that would be a great help to me.
Thanks!!
Him

Updates: Just found out that this issue rises only to the clients using Wyse terminals. Has anyone had any issue using Adobe forms and Wyse terminals?

Adobe Form's First Page printing perfectly on 132 column sheet but further pages prints with small font size

Dear All,
We are facing a strange behavior of adobe form.
we made form for SAP CRM which is printing in 132 column(28cm * 33cm) sheet. what we are observing is, first page is printing perfectly on the pre printed Invoice sheet but if invoice has more items to be displayed then second page prints with small font size or you can say second page seems to be zoomed out to smaller page size. In Preview Second page onwards also looks perfect. Now we are in a fix what to do to come out of this issue.
efforts made:-
Adobe Page Size Adjusted.
Select paper Source by Page Size ticked in Adobe form properties
But still result is non satisfactory. Please Help.
Regards,
Ashkar Rizvi

See my answers below:
a) The size of the pages of PDF which you are printing. LETTER
b) Does all pages of the PDF are of same size? YES
c) What is the page size set in the Printer and what is the actual size of the paper which you have put in the tray? LETTER
d) Does this problem also happens on the virtual printer which you might have on your system (Try either Microsoft MPS Document writer or Adobe PDF Printer) No VIRTUAL PRINTERS
Thank you for attempting to help me with this... we have tried everything and haven't been able to resolve the problem.

Strange error in online Adobe form for the date field

Hi Experts,
I am facing strange problem with online Adobe forms. I could able to save data when i click save button on the form.
But some times in the form the date field is throwing error message 'MMDDYYYY field is invalid' when i click on save button.
Is this the problem with versions of Adobe liveCycle designer, Adobe reader or GUI?
Thanks in advance,
Ram

Hi
Check the format (in the object pallete) of the date field in Adobe liveCycle Designer, If it is not set already set it according to your requirement. then see if it works
Hope this helps

Adobe Form not getting interactive in Web Dynpro

Hello Experts,
I am facing a strange sort of behaviour, which has drawn my plenty of time, while making use of Interactive Adobe Form in Web Dynpro component.
In my scenario, I have one existing Adobe Form with interface of type "ABAP Dictionary-based interface". While using this form in Interactive Form element in Web Dynpro and making it enabled, it is not giving me the expected output, that is - Interactive Form in browser window. Instead, it is showing me read only Adobe Form. Has it to do with type of interface?
Looking forward to active replies.
Regards,
Harsh

Hello Harsh,
In webdynro adobe integration we use webdynpro native controls and the form must be in the
ZCI layout. In SFP >layout you have to insert the webdynpro script .After going to the layout
go to utilites and insert webdynpro script.Then you can find a variable containerfoundation_js.
If you have changed the layout from standard layout to ZCI layout in form builder (SFP), the update the layout using program FP_ZCI_UPDATE.
Refer to link below

View Master mode strange behaviour with jpg files

Hy all,
I'm using Aperture, and I'm tweakin a lot the SW to discover all secrets ....
I'm really concerned about a strange behaviour of the SW in view mode.
If I open a jpg file, do not apply ANY modification, and apply the "show master" command (pressing M), there's a subtle behaviour :
*the images get sharper !!!!*
It behaves as if an "edge sharpening" was applied !!!!!!
With _RAW files this thing doesn't happen at all._
Even stranger, if I zoom to full definition (by pressing Z), and toggle between normal view and "show master" view, the immage remains the same !
The effect is not so evident with all images, but sometimes it is !!
Anyway, I expect not to have such kind of things with a professional SW.
With professional cameras and good quality files it's really annoying not to beeing sure what's the REAL content of the jpg image.
Has anyone noted this thing ? Is there a reasonable explanation ?
The only one I tried to figure out is the following : may be Aperture applies some kind of resampling algorithm with jpg files (bicubic, bilinear, etc).
May be this resampling is not applied with 100% magnification, as weel as with raw files.
But it's only my guessing. Now, I'm tweaking other viewers and other SW to understand what's the real jpg image stored in the file : the blurer one form normal view or the sharper one with "show master" mode.
I stress once again : of course, the jpg file I'm talking about have no settings at all, just imported and toggled with M button.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Enzo

Hy,
I'm afraid I'm not been clear.
The problem is this :
1) jpg image opened in normal view mode, no zoom, (no quick preview, of course) : image with a certain amount of blour
2) jpg image opened in show master mode, no zoom, (no quick previre, of course) : image SHARPER with respect with the previous.
No edit applied from import, so "show master" command shouln't apply any change in rendering, should it ?
The only thing I said on 100% view is that such difference (between normal mode e show mastermode) is not present with 100% magnification.
That was the issue.

Searh help in ABAP webdynpro with Adobe form is flickering/blinking

All,
I have an WDA that has an interactive Adobe form for input. I'm calling the SAP standard search helps when clicked for value helps from the Adobe interactive form that opens up the search helps pop-ups in the web-dynpro style. But strangely, the portion of the search help pop-up window that is just over the Adobe interactive form is always flickering/blinking whenever something is typed or moved on the search help pop-up window. This seems to be a standard bug/issue with SAP. Has anyone encountered the same issue and have found a solution to that?
Regards,
Sam

hi rock,
try this: sometimes any event might be calle din the backend which is overrirding your adobe form which is causing you the flickering. check it

Issue While printing / Previewing a Adobe form in Web Dynpro ABAP application

Dear All,
We have designed 4 different adobe forms using SFP transaction for 4 different countries in SAP system.
Every country have different terms and conditions and therefore we have placed static texts (Hardcoded text) with text in different styles. Some text is in bold, some in different font (Bold, Italic). Font and Paragraph settings of the text was done as per expected. All the forms have same font and paragraph settings.
When we Launch Web Dynpro ABAP application to open the form in Print preview or to take print, form is not getting displayed / printed as it is designed in SFP. But if you open the form in SFP, everything looks fine.
It is working fine for 3 different forms but problem with only 1 form.
Kindly guide what is the reason for this strange issue when previewed or taken print. It is very urgent.
Thanks,
Bharath.K

Dear All,
Thanks for your responses.
We had identified the reason.
Customer has provided terms and conditions for all 4 countries in PDF document. Along with PDF, for 3 out of 4 countries customer has shared pre-prepared word document with pre aligned and justified terms and conditions as per expected outcome. We copied this text from word to Adobe form layout. It worked fine. For 1 country, customer have not shared terms and conditions in word document. Therefore we had copied text directly from adobe PDF document in to Form layout. Then this issue happened.
Solution for this issue is to, prepared a word document with expected alignment and justification of terms and conditions text . Then copied from word to adobe livecycle designer form layout. It worked fine.
Thanks,
Bharath.

Adobe form: Issue with BACK, CANCEL and EXIT buttons

I am new to Adobe forms. I created a simple demo Adobe form and was able to print it successfully except a strange problem.
Whenever I opt for print preview it shows me a blank page. On pressing enter it shows me the form, But now none of the BACK, EXIT, CANCEL buttons work. On pressing any of them I keep getting the print form.
So the only way I can come out of it is /n.
Can anyone please help with the reason for such an issue and how to get rid of it.
Regards,
Ashutosh

Maybe you can tell us something more about the code you use to print your form. I think thatis the problem. Otto

Adobe form created in LiveCycle does not remember user input

Adobe form created in LiveCycle does not remember user input when the file has been re-opened after it has been saved.
Example:
"Check box" that has been selected and who have registered Action script (may be that it should be disabled), seems to be reset when the file is re-opened, although it apparently is checked.
Are there settings or script that can prevent this?

Hi there,
usually if the values are not kept in form after saving and re-opening the form, it would be because of your code... or because it is not Reader Extended PDF...
If your code has a function which is to return a value to your field without it to be working based on your Design, it will reset any data..(variables)
Which means...
e.g.: You have an array/var/JSONobject which you populate varying on the data entered in the design, as long as you are in the actual form, without closing and re-opening the form, it will keep all values inside that array / variables / JSONobject. But, once the form closed and re-opened, if you have a function that returns a value to your field, whatever the field, from any variable in the script it will return nothing because every variables are reset. To avoid such a thing, you must repopulate all variables that were assigned previously before closing the PDF Form. To do so, I recommend to have a page(hidden) which contains every important values according to that function and you must repopulate those variables according to the values in the keepVar page...
If you do not have any function that returns a value to a field based on your variables, this is not the solution you are looking for and I am not aware of the reason why it behaves like this... Maybe more information on the behaviour of your form would help locate the issue...
Hope this help

Interactive table control in Adobe forms

Dear gurus,
I am trying to create an interactive table control with header. The table control will have 10 rows, and I want the users to be able to enter values into the table.
I created a new node with cardinality 0...n; and added attributes under it. The I dragged that onto my design view and made duplicate entries of the rows to get 10 rows under the header.
Now the issues I am having are
1) The table is not visible in preview Pdf; I tried to save and activate the form, but still appears to be invisible
2) For some strange reason the table control in adobe forms is not as flexible as the one in webdynpro, where it is easier to bind the fields and send / recieve data from the interface.
~thanks and appreciate any comments.

when your cardinality is 0..n you won't see it in preview mode.. you need to launch it from your dynpro & you will see it.
Also, if you know you're going to have 10 rows all the time, why not make the cardinality 1...n?
Nevertheless, I personallly wouldn't create the table in this method.
I would create the table in Web dynpro, add a column called "SeqNo" or whatever and pre-populate that field with 1 - 10. When you drag/drop your table from your Data View, just rt-click that column and hide it so your users won't see that field.
You'll have 10 rows displayed to the user each time and you won't worry about having to bind anything since it'll be done automagically.
