Subform dynamic position in adobe forms

Hello All,
I need to place a subform for document totals always at the end of content area. It needs to be after the last printed item and if there is enough space, otherwise jump to the end of next content area (in next page). Anchor option in layout tab is not available for subforms.
Please, does anybody knows how it can be realized ? (if technically possible)

Hi,
Are you displaying your items in a table?Else it will be better if you can elaborate on the scenario.

Merging of cells of a dynamic table in adobe form

Hi,
I am trying to Merge 2 columns in a dynamic table in adobe form.The requirement is to merge column 3 and column 4 if column 4 is empty. I used the below javascript code in both "Form ready " and Initialize event of the row.
if (this.Cell4.rawValue == " ")
this.Cell3.colSpan = "2";
this.Cell4.presence = "hidden";
Note : Since above code was not working , i used the below code in my subform also but it did not returned desired output.
if(Table22.Row1.Cell1.rawValue == " ")
Table22.Row1.Cell3.colSpan = "2";
Table22.Row1.Cell4.presence = "hidden";
The problem is that in my dynamic table , its the second row where the requirement is fulfilled ie in the 2nd entry of my table the column4 is blank (the exact row number might change depending on input data).
is there a way to loop in the dynamic table and check if column 4 is empty for a particular row.
the above code does not help to fulfill my requirements. kindly help.
Thanks
Aditi

Multiple images into a subform in a dynamic non-interactive adobe form

I want to convert a set of images into a PDF (one page for each image) with Webdynpro. I'm trying with a non-interactive adobe form.
I followed the tutorial "Dynamic Non-Interactive PDF Form".
I've got a multiple Context node: 'Images' with a string attribute 'url' for each image.
In the form, I've created subform1, and subform2 within. I put an image field into subform2, setting its url to: $record.Images[*].url
and its script to: this.value.image.href = xfa.resolveNode(this.value.image.href).value;
It doesn't work.
If I add a field into subform2 binding it to url attribute, I can see some lines with the correct path for each image, but the image isn't displayed.
It works with a single dynamic image in the page. What am I doing wrong?
Regards
Anibal Pozo.

No. It's form scripting. In any case I'm working with Webdynpro Java.
I tried this code in table 'initialize' event.
for int=0 upto $record.nImages do
Table1.Row1[int].ImageField.value.image.href = $record.Images[int].url;
Table1.Row1[int].Cell4.value.#image.href = $record.Images[int].url;
endfor
Cell4 is a static image.
In 04SP9, it show always the same image in the image field (first column), and alternating image in cell4 (second column).
In 04sSP6, it shows always the same image in all the rows in both columns.
Any idea? I didn't find any OSS related.

Populate Default Dynamic Filename In Adobe Form (On Click of Save in Menu) - SAP

Hi,
We have a scenario in which we want to populate the file name dynamically in Adobe form integrated in SAP Webdynpro.
Scenario -
A adobe form has been intergrated in the SAP webydnpro application which opens the form in Web Browser (IE).
There is a save button which is part of standard adobe form menu and on click of that save button (circled - 1 in image ) the name of the form ( i.e techincal name of adobe form created in SAP {ZTESTSS} ( circled - 2 in image ) appears.
We want to change the default name to (employee_date_time ) on click of save.
We have found a approch by using the folder level javascripts (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2266799#2266799%232266799).
In case we use folder level scripts "where should we write the JavaScript code in the Adobe Form to trrigger the this script on click of Save Button (in the menu)?"
Also is there any other apporch which does not require folder level javascript as its a security issue also we need to maintain in all the user systems.
Please let me know the approch to address the issue.
Thanks .

Hi,
you can't change the behavior of the save button in the browser nor in Reader/Acrobat.
You can add a custom button within your form which calls a custom script from a folder level script using the browserForDoc method.
The browseForDoc methos is the only one whcih can change the name in the saveAs dialog.
Here's an example., you can run from Acrobat console.
You need to combine it with the solution from the other thread to make it work with your form.

Dynamic image in Adobe Form

Hello experts,
I have created a form with the transaction sfp and want to bind in an image. This image has to be dynamic, so that it can be changed, if necessary.
Is it possible to have an image in a structure and this structure in the interface of the adobe form in sfp?
The structure will be part of a web dynpro for abap context. So I will create the dynamic in the web dynpro component.
Can someone help?
Thanks a lot!

ADOBE Forms, dynamic images

Hi to all,
I'm working with Adobe Forms and I need to show the photo of an employee depending on his personal number.
So I can´t put the location of the image directly on the URL box of the object.
Does any one knows how to show jpg images dynamically?.
I can do it with Smartforms but I don´t know how to with Adobe Forms.
Thanks.
Nico.-

Hi,
I'm working with Nico. We already could show photos dynamically in our Adobe form, uploading them into the Unix server (into AL11) and then referencing the path dynamically. But we still can't show the photos of the employees. The problem that we have now is that we would need a path of the photos on the server to be able to show them in the Adobe form, but we actually couldn't find the path where they are physically stored.
The photos are being stored with ArchiveLink, using the content repository YE, which is configured as follows:
Content Repository:                 YE
Description: ...
Document Area: ArchiveLink
Storage type: SAP System Database
Rep. Sub-Type: Normal
Protocol:                 SAPAL
Version Number: 0046
Contents Table: ZCONT_DB --->> the structure of this table corresponds to the table SDOKCONT1
Transfer directory:                 Z_GRAF_EMPLEADOS2
Physical path: O:\DACON_RH\Sapgraf_prl\
When calling 'HR_IMAGE_EXISTS' and 'SCMS_DOC_URL_READ' functions to get the URLs of the photos, those functions return URLs like this:
SAPR3://SAPR3CMS/get/070/YE/45C3EED1A64E1956E10000000AFA081B/DATA
but those URLs don't work in our Adobe form as the path of the photo (the photo isn't shown when we put that URL in the place of the path).
Does anyone know where could be the photos physically stored or what can I do to solve this problem?
Thanks!
Dani

How to create text vertically in ADOBE FORMS?

Hi all,
I need to create text in vertical position in ADOBE FORMS? How to do this..
<< Removed >>
Thanks
Devinder
Edited by: Rob Burbank on Mar 3, 2010 1:40 PM

I will recommend you to use smart forms ...
the link below has the said topic discussed for smart forms ...
Printing vertical text in Smartform
Also there is a New tool called Adobe Flex whose integration with SAP is being discussed and worked upon in experimental stage .. the said tool has vertical text capability
but its not recommended because of lack of extensive testing with regards to Association with SAP
BR
Manthan.
PS it can be done in sapscript too but i will not recommend the same bcoz of the obvious trouble in doing the same.
also if u still want to stick to sapscript
Simple way is to use layout format like "X_65_80" or "X_90_120"

Dynamic Images in adobe

Hello All,
I have a requirement for dynamic images on Adobe form.
I have some images stored on portal server in a afolder called images which gets upadeted every hour . I have developed a java webservice which can get this images from the portal server.
The reponse of the webservice is like " http://<Hostname>:<portnumner>/images/abc.png". I have impoted this webservice as Adaptive webservice model in WD.
I have executed this webservice in WD and binded the response to IFRAME UI element and I am able to images(http://<Hostname>:<portnumner>/images/abc.png).
Now I want these images to be on the PDF.
I have installed and configurred ADS and binded the Webservice response as Datasource to the intercative form. I am able to see the datasourcse in the data view of the interactive form.
Now when I bind the response to the Image Field UI element I am unable to see the image.
Please let me know if anyone has any idea on this.
Thanks,

Hi Naresh,
It's an issue with ADS. Exactly not an issue but a requirement. The server on which images are available, has to be exposed to ADS.
Your Admin might help you on that.

Add Subform dynamically,on click of Button, in Interactive form generated by Adobe Document Services

HI,
I have an XDP file designed by Adobe Designer 7.1 with the following hierarchy of elements:
-form1(root)
--Button
--tmpForm (subform - Repeat subform for each data entry )
---ST (Text)
Now, this XDP file generates an Interactive PDF form with Reader Rights enabled by the Adobe Document Services.
On click of button, the following javascript is executed on client side:
var df = _tmpForm.addInstance(1);
df.ST.rawValue = "HI" ;
xfa.host.messageBox( "Instances" + tmpForm.all.length ) ;
On clicking the button, i get the length of the instances of the subform and the size increases on each click, but no element is added "visibly" to the pdf.
But when i try to do the same by saving the XDP file as Dynamic PDF form for Acrobat 8.0,and open it using Adobe Acrobat PRO 8.0, it works fine.
My question is,I s it not possible to add subforms dynamically in PDF's generated by Adobe Document Services with Reader Rights enabled?
Or, is there something that i am missing?
Please guide.
Thanks.

Siddhartha
