(URGENT) Check if fields in Interactive Form is empty before submit.

Hi all,
I need to validate my form to make sure that when a user clicks on the submit button, it should check if all the fields are being filled up, if fields are left empty, a message/error should promt telling the user to fill up the form before submitting the form.
Once all fields are filled then proceed with submitting.
Does anyone have any codes that u can provide me or help me with?
Thanks In Advance.
Regards,
JingXuan

There is a default functionality provided by Adobe... If all your fields are field, you can not submit. It will prompt .. to fill the form.
Only you have to mark those field as mandatory.
So select the field -> Go to Object Pallet -> Value Tab -> select the type as User entered Required
This will solve your problem.
You can also customise the requirements through scripting language.

Concatenate interface fields to Text Field in interactive forms

Hi experts.
I'm looking for solution.
I created adobe interactive form displaying in ABAP WebDynpro, using ZCI layout
I want to display sample text like: Hello mr. John today is monday. - John and monday are variables from interface.
But I have problem with this. Its possible concatenate string values binding to one UI element?
I was tried initialize script (FormCalc, JavaScript) for TextField bud, it don' t work. something was bad.
For example I have defined Global field in form interface and concatenate value in initialize runtime, it works for ABAP callings from front-end.
But when I show form from WebDynpro initialize runtime does not call from framework.
Can some body help me.
Or write same sample, thank you !!!!!!!

Hello Peter,
use a single TextField and concatenate the string before putting it into the context. FormCalc or JavaScript won't be needed then.
A good way to determine where the problem resides is to create an addition WD based
TextView and display the same data there. If it shows up with data there and with no
data in the form, then the problem resides in the form rather than in the WD context.
Best regards,
Thomas

Attachments added to the Interactive form is lost after submit

Hi All,
I have a scenario where the user can add attachments to the Interactive Form Online and click on Submit to archive the filled form. The problem is that i am not able to retrieve the attachments added to the form.
The datasource of the ITF is bound to the View Context node and the pdfsource is bound to an attribute of XSTRING type.
Here i am able to see the changed values of the Input fields in my context node. But, any attachments added is lost.
How can i retrieve the attachments? I tries calling the Methods SET_TASK_GETATTACHMENTS and GET_ATTACHMENTS of PDF Objects but it always returns null.
FYI,
if i use file upload UI Element and upload an existing form with attachments then i am able to get the list of attachments by calling the Methods SET_TASK_GETATTACHMENTS and GET_ATTACHMENTS of PDF Objects before this PDF is displayed in the next view. (binding the XSTRING of FIle Upload UI to the PDFSOURCE of the ITF).
Here also if i add some new attachments to the PDF and click on submit then these new docs are lost.
In short whenever i add attachments to the pdf dynamically via add attachment option after the PDF is displayed the new attachments are lost.
Please let me know how to correct this.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Changing the background of a text field in adobe interactive forms

Hello All,
Is there any way to change the background colour of text field in interactive form dynamically.??
Thanks,

Naresh,
Change the language to JavaScipt in Script Editor of LiveCycle Designer and use the following code to highlight the area of TextField where R,G,B means that you have to give the RGB values of the color you want.
<YourTextFieldName>.border.edge.color.value = "R,G,B";
For eg:- If you have a textfield with name TextField1 then this will highlight the TextField1 area in red color.
if ((TextField1.rawValue==null) || (TextField1.rawValue==""))
TextField1.border.edge.color.value = "255,0,0";
You can use this on exit event of Textfield1 or at the submit button where you check the form data.

Binding problem from adobe interactive form to SAP

Hello All,
I'm using SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio 2.0.9 SAP WAS 2004s SP11.
I'm tried to exercise with document "How ToCreate Online and Offline Forms in Web Dynpro for Java" (you can check it this link https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/4fd2d690-0201-0010-de83-b4fa0c93e1a9). I could run it succesfuly but i have a problem. I couldn't get data from Adobe Interactive form when i click "Submit to SAP" button. All field value return with "null".
The code is like that;
public void onActionFormSubmit(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin onActionFormSubmit(ServerEvent)
     String name = wdContext.currentTravelDataElement().getEmployeeName();
     String costcenter = wdContext.currentTravelDataElement().getCostCenter();
     String city = wdContext.currentTravelDataElement().getDestinationCity();
     String country =
     wdContext.currentTravelDataElement().getDestinationCountry();
     wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager().reportSuccess(
     "Form submitted: Employe Name="
     + name
     + " costcenter="
     + costcenter
     + " city="
     + city
     + " country=" +
      country);
What could be the problem?

hi Selcuk,
check what is the cardinality of the node that bound to the interactive form.
interactive form->properties->dataSource = <xyz node of context>
goto <xyz node of context> -> properties
just change the cardinality to 1..1.
goto
interactive form->properties...
check that the dataSource and pdfSource are bound to the right Context nodes/attributes...
hope this helps...

WD application- Interactive form -Not bringing values to Onclick method

Hi,
I am working on Interactive form which has a submit button.
Requirement is Form should be pre-filled with fields in Item column1 and then user fills in a field in Item column C2.Finally my submit button on form should take c1,c2 values and I will be using this in Click method for further processing.
For this I have done following.
1- created a structure ZILAB( which has COLUMN 1 & COLUMN 2 FIELDS) and created a node adobe_data with cardinality 1.1, and then under it created another node called ITEM CARDINALITY 1..N).This is mapped to ZILAB.
2- Created job number as parameter and button1 .This button1 brings up the pre-filled item Column1 fields to form.
3- There is new column C2 in the output form which user will input.
4- When I click final submit button it is stopping in Onclick method.my code is bringing up C1 values but not bringing of C2 values(which is user input) in my Onclick event of SUbmit button-WDACTIVEX.
Also I have checked enable option, Assigned pdfsource, change type to activeX.I even tried to change element item name but still not able to get entries in onclick method.
What is wrong with my code/process?
DATA lo_nd_adobe_data TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.

Hi ravi,
These are the function modules which converts table to String and the String to Xstring.
         SOTR_SERV_TABLE_TO_STRING "Table to String
         SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING "String to Xstring
For triggering work flow is not a problem. But this pdf should be generated again at workitem attachment.
For converting to PDF and attachming the pdf to workitem I already have a business object
Can you tell me how you are attaching document to Workflow and how you are triggering workflow on click of Submit button and what is the businees object to send the attachements to workitems.

Dynamic images in PDF (Adobe interactive form)

Hi All,
        I have stored image in database using BLOB.
I retrieve the image using
     WDWebResourceType.getWebResourceTypeForFileExtension(extn);//get Type
     IWDResource res = WDResourceFactory.createCachedResource(CSVFile, Filename, type1,true);
        res.getUrl(0);
Where CSVFile is of type InputStream.
But when I give this link to the image field in interactive form, the image is not getting displayed. (But it is getting displayed in the image UI element of web dynpro.)
What should I do to show images in PDF from BLOB?
Please let me know.

How can we use mode "UsePDF" in Interactive form?

Hello everybody,
I want to know that how can i use the mode usePdf in Interactive form?
My scenario is:
I have pdf form saved locally with blank fields.
I save this file after requied values in all fields.
Now i want to import this pdf file in interactive form and needs to submit this form so all the data in this pdf file are submitted to the System.
How can i do this?
regards,
Bhavik

Hi Bhavik,
you do not need to use the upload ui element, if your pdf-file which you want to upload resides in you web application project. In the following you can find Web Dynpro code snippets I use in one of my demos for displaying an uploaded pdf-file:
wdDoModifyView method of FormView:
    //@@begin wdDoModifyView
     try {
          // get interactive form element by ID
          InteractiveForm form = (InteractiveForm) view.getElement("Evaluation");
          if (wdContext.currentContextElement().getCurrentMode().equals("usePDF")) {
               form.setMode(WDInteractiveFormMode.USE_PDF);
     catch (Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
    //@@end
onPlugFromUploadView method of UploadView:
    //@@begin onPlugFromUploadView(ServerEvent)
     try {
          // modify the context and set needed attributes
          wdContext.currentContextElement().setCurrentMode( "usePDF" );
          // extend the attribute "pdfSource" from the context to a modifiable binary type
          IWDAttributeInfo attInfo = wdContext.currentContextElement().node().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("pdfSource");
          ISimpleTypeModifiable type = attInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
          IWDModifiableBinaryType binaryType = (IWDModifiableBinaryType) type;
          binaryType.setFileName("evaluationForm.pdf");
          binaryType.setMimeType(WDWebResourceType.PDF);
          // add the generated pdf to the context
          wdContext.currentContextElement().setPdfSource( evaluationForm ); // byte[] evaluationForm
     catch (Exception e) {
          wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportWarning(e.getLocalizedMessage());
    //@@end
If you do not want to display the data before submitting the data, then you have to use the WDInteractiveFormHelper class for extracting the form data after upload in the context. This class is available since NetWeaver04 Support Package Stack (SPS) 10. The class com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.api.WDInteractiveFormHelper contains at the moment one helper function for PDF document. Here are the details:
Constructor Detail
public WDInteractiveFormHelper()
Method Detail
public static void transferPDFDataIntoContext(byte[] pdfSource, IWDNode targetNode)
Method transferPDFDataIntoContext extracts data from a PDF document and copies the values into the Web Dynpro Context. The xml structure of the document data is applied starting from the specified target node. Usually, this node should be the same context node to which InteractiveForm-UIELement property dataSource is bound during PDF generation.
Parameters:
pdfSource - PDF document as byte[]
targetNode - target IWDNode
Hope this will help you,
Regards, Carsten

Passing value from Adobe Interactive form, to the Webdynpro Application

Hi,
I have followed all the tutorials on interactive forms in WD for Java, & am able to successfuly display my context data in an interactive form.
However, i need help with the following:
1. Online scenario:
User has filled details in an interactive form & clicks on the submit button.
The Data from the form is NOT getting passed back to the WebDynpro application.
2. Offline Scenario:
User has filledup a pdf file(form), & has uploaded the form to the webdynpro application, using the file-upload UI element.
How do i read the data that the user has entered in that pdf file?
Any help with regard to these two queries, will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Hanoz

1) Online Scenario
check if the context mapping between UI elements and Context is properly done
check if the cardinality of the Context is alright.
2) Offline Scenario
you will have two views.
one upload view
and one interactive form view
in the upload view use the File Upload UI element.
in the Interactive Form View.... use the same view which you used to create the offline form, thus the interactive form UI element will already know the structure of data and the context mapping in the pdf file when you upload it.
Add the following line of code to the
method wdDoInit.
wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute
("pdfObject").getModifiableSimpleTyp
e();
Add the following line of code right
before
wdThis.wdFirePlugOutToDisplay()
in the method onActionShowForm().
wdThis.wdGetTravelRequestCompControl
ler().wdGetContext().currentContextE
lement().setPdfObject(wdContext.curr
entContextElement().getPdfObject());
in the interactive form view, change the property of the interactive form.... MODE to usePdf.

Passing values to the dropdown in Adobe Interactive form

Hello Adobe Experts,
Can you please provide some inputs for the below mentioned points.
I have created a webdynpro application and placed an interactive form.
1. I have 2 dropdown fields in the interactive form..say Country and State. How can i show the all countries available in SAP system in the Country dropdown.(like standard dropdown)
2. How can i dynamically show the States of selected country in the dropdown of State.
3. I need to validate the mandatory fields on the form on click of Submit button kept on the form. But, giving Value Type "User entered...required" is not working. how to validate in another way. Should we write validation script for all individual fields.
4. How to place a web link on the interactive form. When user clicks on this link, we should navigate to that particular link.
Thanks & Regards,
Ram.

Hi RAM,
I'll try to answer your questions one by one. Any comments and feedback are welcome.
1.- I assume that you have created a Model, a Service Controller and binded the data to your view.
At this point, you need to bind the property datasource of your interactive form to a node in your context hierarchy.
This data will be available at the form Data View Palette.
Then you have to edit your form, drag a Drop Down List to the form and in the Fields Tab of the Object Palette you need
to bind the List Items property. Just click the link and in the "Dynamic Properties" window, choose the table root node for Items, and the Text and Value atributes for Text and value properties respectively.
After that, in the binding tab, you will have to do the "default binding", and bind the values clicking on "Specify Item Values".
