Tab control in Adobe forms

Hello,
Is it possible to have a tabstrip control like the one which we have in module pool where we group set of fields under one tab in case of adobe form ?
thanks

Hello Sneha,
I have used buttons as tabstrips , i am not able to paste the source code .However, all you have to do is :
1. Place 2 buttons say btn1 and btn2, one having a dark color and other a lighter color.
2. Place two subforms say sf1 and sf2.sf1 has content of first tab , and sf2 has content of second tab.
3. By default btn1(darker color) & sf1 will be visible.
4. On click of btn2 , interchange the color of buttons & visibilty of subforms.
I hope the above statements suffice.If you want the whole source code just contact at virag.shinde(@)lntinfotech.com

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.

Version Control for adobe forms

Dear All,
We have a situation where we already go live with version 0 of our adobe form. Now, we have an enhancement to the form i.e.: some new functionalities and new field. Previously we have tried to transport the new changes to the production without any version control and those processes that have been already started prior to the new changes encounter error when the user continues the process.
I am wondering how do the version control works and any documentation on how to configure it?
Thanks in advance

Bryan

Hi Brian,
Here is some information that I found in the IMG on Create ISR Scenario...
Create ISR Scenario
Use
In this IMG activity, you create an ISR scenario that has a one-to-one relationship with a form scenario. To be able to use a form scenario in a process, one ISR scenario must exist for each form scenario. The ISR scenario and the form scenario must be linked with each other. You make this setting in Customizing for HR Administrative Services in the IMG activity Link ISR Scenario with Form Scenario.
In the form scenario, you define primarily the basic set of form fields and their processing through the backend services. In the ISR scenario, you specify the definition of the user interface. You also specify which form is used for the display and how the layout of this interactive form is designed. You use interactive forms based on Adobe software to create and process the forms.
ISR scenarios and form scenarios are version dependent. The version numbers of the ISR scenario are assigned automatically. Note that a form scenario must have exactly the same version as the linked ISR scenario. For this reason, you should always create a new version in the ISR scenario first and then use the same version number when you create a version in the form scenario manually.
Note
If an ISR scenario or form scenario (with an existing version) has already been used in a productive process, you should not change the configuration. If you want to make changes to a process or an ISR scenario or form scenario, you should always create a new version, and only ever use that new version in the future. In this way, processes that have been started can be concluded with the old version and new processes can be started simultaneously with the new version.
This is from the Create Form Scenario documentation...
Create version
Form scenarios are version dependent, which means that there is at least one version of each form scenario. Versions are linked with processes. Since processes can vary, you must also be able to adjust the associated scenarios. To be able to provide different forms for process variants, you create versions.
You can still process and change an existing version at a later point in time. Once a version has been used to execute a process, you should not make any more changes to this version; instead, you should create a new version.
The form scenario and the (linked) ISR scenario are both version dependent. They must always have exactly the same version numbers. Note that the version number of the ISR scenario is generated and cannot be entered manually. When you create a new version in the form scenario, you therefore have to use the version number generated in the ISR scenario.
If you have already made extensive Customizing settings for the form scenario and want to create a new version based on the settings, you should use the IMG activity Manage Form Scenario.
Hope this helps...
Cheers,
Kevin

ListBox control in Adobe forms

Hello experts,
I have Adobe Interactive Form where I'd like to design standard Adobe List Box control having some predefined enumeration for list of items in it. On time of submission of the form the following XML is sent by Adobe Acrobat Reader where 'ClassificationList' is a name of my ListBox.
<form1>
<Name>x</Name><Description>x</Description><ClassificationList /><ClassificationList xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/" xfa:dataNode="dataGroup" />
<ClassificationList xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/" xfa:dataNode="dataGroup" />
<ClassificationList><value>cat22</value></ClassificationList>
</form1>
Is there any possibility to avoid representation of 'ClassificationList' field in XFA format, but sent the field as field 'Name' is sent? I.e. in form of merged selected text box items into plain text. For example, 'selectedItem1; .. ;selectedItemN'.
Why does not the PDF send just something like this '<ClassificationList>cat22</ClassificationList>' for the ListBox?
BR, Sergei

Hi Sandipan,
In Wd ABAP scenario, SAP is not supporting dynamically created rows from adobe forms. It will accept a single row only. We can overcome this situvation in 2 ways.
1. Make the "Add Row" button as a submit button. Each time when you add a row in adobe form, save the row in R/3. It can cause performance issues.
2. At the time of form download, it should contain an invisible table with n no: of rows. Just before submit, enter the values in the dynamic rows into the invisible table. At R/3 end, you will get all values from that table.

Value drop down list control in ADOBE Form

We are on SP16 currently. We are developing an ADOBE interactive online
form using ABAP WebDynpro.
To display search help of a few fields like Vendor Number, G/L Account
Number, Cost Center, we are using 'Value Help Drop Down List' control
availalbe in WebDynpro Native group.
After the form gets loaded on the broswer, first time the search help
control works absolutely fine for any of the field. But only once. Once
one search help gets displayed, none of the other search value drop
down control gets clicked. But please note that normal drop down (with
fixed values) gets clicked and allows to choose any entry from it. It
also allows to enter values into other text box controls. Only Search
Value Drop Down list stops working.
For Example: We have 2 search help drop down list controls (one for
LIFNR and another for WERKS) and 1 drop down list control (Fixed Values
to be displayed for selection).
After form gets displayed on ABAP WebDynpro, if we click on LIFNR, the
search help for LIFNR will come and it will allow to select vendor
number from it. But after that, it doesn't allow to select WERKS nor
even to LIFNR. If we click on WERKS first, it will work perfactly fine
but then, it will not allow LIFNR or WERKS after that. In any of the
case, it will always allow to select the values from Fixed Value Drop
down list.
Please note that we dont have SAP Portal into the landscape.
Is there any bug in the control?
Please provide the solution ASAP.

Hi Reema,
We are using ZCI type of form. So, I dont think there is any need to run the report for ZCI_Update.
And the display type of Interactive Form in ABAP WebDynpro is 'NATIVE' which is the same we dragged the control from (WebDynpro Native).
Is there any work around to display search helps on ADOBE Interactive forms apart of this control?
Appreciate your quick answer.
Thanks & Regardss,

Dynamic table control in adobe forms

Hi All,
I am creating abobe form using web dynpro java. I have a table with one row & 5 columns. After that i have put "add" button, so that as i click on this button, a new row will be inserted in the same table with same no. of columns & data fields.
Please can anyone tell me, how can i do this???
Thanks & regards,
Vinita Sharma

Vinita,
You will need to use the addInstance method. For example try looking the Purchase Order form which may be stored at this location on ur PC.
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Designer 7.1\EN\Samples\Purchase Order\Dynamic Interactive\Forms

Keyboard Navigation with Tab Control

We have a tab control in a form and it has several pages.
On one of the tabs we show data from a multi row block, the first 3 columns are on the tab canvas, then we have a stacked canvas that scrolls left/right that shows the rest of the data. We fix the first three columns as they give context to the rest of the rwo that is scrolled within the tacked region.
Now the problem:
When focus is on one of the columns displayed on the tab page we can press CTRL-TAB and the tab switches to the next tab page.
If focus is on one of the fields on the stacked canvas CTRL-TAB doesn't navigate to the next tab page - it attempts to switch windows.
It looks like the items that aren't onthe tab canvas, but are on the stacked canvas, aren't party to the CTRL-TAB event?
Has anyone else experienved this problem? Or know of a work around?
Regards,
Bren

When I use CTRL-TAB just the trigger key-next-item fires. In our environment we use CTRL-PageUp/Down to switch the tab canvas. But I think the event that is really fired is key-nxtblk. So on forms-level I added the triggers key-nxtblk/prvblk that call my procedure next-/previous-tab-page.
In the when-new-forms-instance trigger I initiate a plsql-table, that has the following record type as a rowtype:
TYPE TabPage_Rec IS RECORD
(TabPage Varchar2(80),
First_item Varchar2(80));
So each tab page 'knows' its predecessor and successor. I then implemented two procedures next_tab_page and previous_tab_page, that iterate the plsql-table and set the canvas_property TOPMOST_TAB_PAGE to the requested value and navigate to the first item on the tab page.
That way you are mostly independent of the way your form is designed (blocks, items, order in object navigator). It is a bit of an investment and you have to keep it consistent to the way your form changes tabwise, but I found it quite handy.
Hope this helps.

Bettina

Hyperlinks in Interactive ADOBE Forms

Dear experts,
I have a scenario of INTERACTIVE ADOBE FORM in ABAP WEBDYNPRO wherein Attachments have to be stored for a given form and these forms would be archived in a shared folder after a complete workflow lifecycle .
Initially, we implemented the handling of attachments using the 'ATTACHMENT' tab in the ADOBE form itself and storing these attachments as xStrings in GOS. This worked really well until recently where the attachment sizes increased from a few KB to many MBs . The form processing got extremely slow leading to unacceptable performance.
This called for the approach of using hyperlinks to attachments on a network folder to be added to the form by the users while data entry itself.
I am unaware as to how can we open a text field to accept hyperlinks which can then be stored ina backend table, so that they can be fetched and updated in the form at a later stage during the subsequent workflow steps?
Any inputs on this would be of gret help..
I searched the forum for queries but none were really helpful. Please help me out with this issue..

Amith

Hello experts,
I am using Livecycle designer version 8.0 and do not have the 'Launch URL' UI element. So I have to resort to using a text field and a button with a script to launch the URL. Something like
xfa.host.gotoURL(url.rawValue, true);
This works for a web URL but this is not opening any network shared folders. Is there any way to achieve this?
Secondly, I want it to open in a new window and not in the same browser window/tab that the form is in.
Any inputs on this would be really helpful.
Kind Regards,
Amith

Why does Waveform Chart Initalized by Property nodes behave erratically when hidden such as by the Tab Control?

I am using wave form Chart on a tab control. The problem is that the chart works fine when it is showing. I can stop the data and reset the chart history successfully. The Fun begins when I go to say Page 2 of Tab control ( The wave form Chart is on Page 1). If I now try to initilize my chart with offset, multiplier, min and max rage values - The chart assumes values on the X scale which are arbitrary. I can see this when I go back to Page 1.!!
But If Page 1 were showing and I did the same Operation The chart behaves as I expect it too.
Can this behaviour be explained? How do I resolve this Problem? Also I have Observed that from time to time the Sca
ling on X Axis may also change when the Chart is Hidden by the tab control. I have not been able to identify the reason for this, It is totally random.
Good Luck!

I did a similar workaround ...
Everytime I Toggle the Run Button, I am making sure the active Tab is the one with Waveform Chart. This way the waveform Initializes fine. Then I try to Switch the active tab back to its One Previous Value, programatically - So that the user may have somewhat seamless interaction.
There is one hitch however - The waveform Chart needs some time to initialize and my data stream is also coming at every second. So if I switch Immediately to some other tab, Sometimes I am successful, Sometimes I am not. Again this depends om System Speed and such. If I update the Tab Control at the next iteration, it is very irritating visually. So I left the Tab control at the waveform chart after reset. If the User wants they can switch it Bac
k.
Of Course the best thing to do is don't Reset. Referred the problem to NI Apps. They said it will be fixed in the next version.
Well! Got to make enough money without resetting so that we can buy the new Version, which will reset!! Ciao! And Thanks for your answer.

Tab in Adobe forms

Hello,
Has anyone used Tabs in adobe forms to switch between windows/screens?
Is it possible?
Thanks,
Bala

Hmm interesting requirement ,
I have nt tried but i guess u can try implementing this scenario using subforms with row of buttons .
all the buttons can be placed in a subform (header subform).
The different UI can be placed in differnt subforms under this header subform.
Each subform will be controlled by a button .For the button fomcalc script can be used which makes the elements in the sunform visible and hidden .
design wud be :
button1 button2 button3
subform1 | subform2 | subform3 |
script will be as follows
event :initiaize
subform1.presence="visible"
subform2.presence="hidden"
subform3.presence="hidden"
onclick (for button2 in subform2)
subform2.presence ="visible"
I believe it would be a great experience to implement this.
Do let me knw the further update on this idea.

Adobe form Error "Memory protection fault in OLE container control"

Hi,
I am getting the error "Memory protection fault in OLE container control" while trying to open the layout tab of adobe forms.
I am getting this error for all the adobe forms.Please let me know the solution.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Nuthan.

I can reproduce this error consistently.. This is how: Install Microsoft SQL Server 2008.
As soon as I remove SQL 2008 the error went away. Adobe LiveCycle Designer was invoked via OLE2 interface. Apparently SQL Server 2008 (as in my case or some other applications in your case) modified the way OLE2 behaves and therefore causes this error.

Reg Control Parameters of Adobe forms

Hi,
   I am have a issue with adobe forms, the purchase order in me22n changing the values and saving the PO has to go as an PDF attachment to the Vendor mail . But it is not happening but the PO is Processed sucessfully. The vendor mail is checked and it is correct and the type of medium to the Output is External Send which is for the email. The form is copy of Standard Adobe form and the program is also std copy of SAPFM06P. In the driver program is any coding is required for the controlling parameters of form so that mail will happens.
    Plz help me out in this issue.

Hi Narsimha,
I think the standard program may not have functionality for sending mail .
Check for nast-nacha value, see the code below
CASE gs_nast-nacha.
    WHEN gc_nacha-external_send.
*     Proccess communication type
      cs_outputparams-getpdf = gc_true.
      cv_device              = gc_device-email.
    WHEN gc_nacha-printer.
*     Print
      cv_device                    = gc_device-printer.
    WHEN gc_nacha-fax.
*     Fax
      cs_outputparams-getpdf       = gc_true.
      cv_device                    = gc_device-fax.
ENDCASE.
After fp_jobclose write these lines
CASE lv_device.
    WHEN gc_device-fax
      OR gc_device-email.
* Code to send PDF file as mail attachment should be written within these lines
      PERFORM send_data using lv_pdffile.
ENDCASE.

Adobe Forms - Table control data Saved in Database table through Web Dynpro

Hello Friends,
I Am facing a Problem in Adobe Forms through Web Dynpro.
i Want to Make Interactive online Adobe Forms - In Table Control user enter the multiple entry in the table control and after that Click on SAVE button , entry will saved in Database table.
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance.
Gaurav.

Hi Gaurabh,
For interactive form you have to check the property DisplayType = native and PdfSource should be a Context Attribute of type 'Xstring'.
For data retrieval, create a NODE and have all the required attributes within that node of AOBE form.
Fetch the data in WDDOINIT.
Also check, that the offline senario for this form is working.
Hope it helps you.
