Using Dynamic Form in Workflow

Hi Again,
I do not why but every day I am facing new problem with my workflow :(
This time I am facing problem in using my dynamic form.
I have created a Dynamic form with "ADD" and "DELETE" row function with some dynamic calculation field.
While Initiator is filling the form,he can Add Dynamic rows to the form but after submitting the workflow when the Approver is opening the form from his worklist he is not finding the Additional rows added into the forms and All the data is also missing.
*We tried on the one machine where initiator filled that form.
*We are using Adobe Reader 7.0
*Add row fuctionality is achived by "addInstance" function.
*Dynamic functionality is working for Approver also mean if he will going to click "ADD" button a row can be added by him also.

Hi All
Thanks for reply.
Howard I am storing the data in variable and I can see all the other data instead of dynamic rows.
Stone I had made my form to bound with xsd.
and I had checked both repeat the subform for data and minimum count.
but if I am removing minimum count it is not displaying that dynamic row.
Let me know is I have to bound differently with the xsd for dynamic rows??

Cannot use dynamic form wizard

Can anyone tell me how to fix this? The file will not update and images will not load.
Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: kt_fileupload in /var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/includes/tng/triggers/tNG_FileUpload.class.php on line 182

Thanks a million. I don't know how it is that all files didn't get loaded but that was the issue.

You may not have the full set of ADDT files uploaded to your server. Make sure that you have uploaded /includes/common/lib/file_upload directory and the 2 files it should contain: KT_FileUpload.class.php and KT_FileUpload.php.
Hope that helps.

Using dynamic form wizard dont allow decimals

using the dynamic form wizard converts a given number using decimals in integer !!
example : if i use a text field ( in a form generated with the wizard) that will input a number with decimals : 123.44, the form sends 12344 to the db.
i´m using an access db (2003) and the numeric fields are declarated as number type
any ideas to solve this?

The problem is the same when using the Insert Record Form Wizard. I've made all the fields mandatory, but the file field still doesn't look like it has the content of the form passed through to the database. I've recreated the page, and double checked that the correct links are being made between the form inputs and the database fields, but still get the following:
]Error:
]SQL error: Field 'eventDoc.eventDocFile' cannot be a zero-length string..
]Developer Details:
]SQL error: INSERT INTO eventDoc (eventDocEvent, eventDocFile, eventDocText, eventDocTextWelsh) VALUES (32, '', 'Test file to check insert behaviour', 'Test file to check insert behaviour (Welsh)'). (SQL_ERROR)

I've also tested on both my local development server and the hosting server now, and have the same problem on both. It also happens if I just create the form, but don't apply the file upload behaviour - so it seems like it might be a problem with the supplied behaviours and how they handle the content of file inputs from forms.
I've only used the file upload in PHP before, where it seemed to work quite happily.

Custom Text disappears on exit when using Dynamic Forms

If you have a dropdown list and you tick the box to "Allow Custom Text Entry" in a Dynamic form format, it will not hold the custom value when you leave that field.
If you save the Dynamic form as a Static Form the custom entries work fine.
I need help ASAP with this as it is very annoying.
Thanks in Advance

I need help with this. I followed these instructions to the T as far as I am aware but I cannot get it to work. I get the error message:
"Script failed (language is formcalc; context is
xfa[0].form[0].form1[0].#subform[0].DropDownList1[0])
script=addEnteredValue(sDropdown_XFA, svalue)
var oDD = xfa.resolveNode(sDropdown_XFA);
if ((null == sValue) || ("" == sValue))
return;
var sLBValue = "";
var bFoundValue = false;
for (var i = 0; i < xfa.resolveNode(sDropdown_XFA + ".#items").nodes.length; i++)
sLBValue = xfa.resolveNode(sDropdown_XFA + ".#items.#text[" + i + "]").value;
if (sValue == sLBValue)
bFoundValue = true;
if (!bFoundValue)
oDD.addItem(sValue);
oDD.rawValue = sValue;
addEnteredValue("form1.#subform[0].DropDownList1", gDropDownTemp.value);
gDropDownTemp.value = "";
Error: function 'addEnteredValue' on line1, column 38 is unknown. "
Obviously I'm doing something wrong. How do you make it recognize the addEnteredValue function? -- When I added "gDropDownTemp;" to the File-->Form Properties-->Variables tab it said that it MUST have a value so I put 0, it wouldn't allow me to not enter a value even though instructions say otherwise. I'm new to this and I know what I want but getting to that point is another story it seems. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Extracting data from dynamic forms

I am new to using Livecycle and see the advantages of using dynamic forms for collecting data. I have designed several dynamic forms which include rows with 6 to 9 text fields and may be completed with 10 to 100 rows. I have had to use text fields for collecting numeric information as many of the references start with zeros (003456).
Whilst Acrobat Pro provides for Livecycle dynamic forms to be enabled for Acrobat Reader filling and saving is extracting to Excel the best option available if you do not have the Enerprise version of Livecycle?
One problem I have in using Excel is that whilst the completed PDF documents capture the leading zeros, when I view the Excel spreadsheet the lead zeros have been lost. I have experienced this problem in importing Excel files into Access. To overcome this I usually create five lead rows with characters in all the fields that I want Excel to define as text - otherwise it processes them as numerics.
Any better ways of extracting data from a hundred or so dynamic forms?

Hi,
your problem is not the exported data, it's Excel that drops the leading zeros by default.
You can use a custom pattern to keep the leading zeros.
0#### will display intergers with up to 5 places with a leading zero.
Value:           Displayed Value:
012               012
12345          12345
0045             0045

Are there any options (current or future) for working with dynamic forms on the iPad?

We have a few iPads for use in our lab and are trying to utilize them as best we can. Until now, we've had no luck finding a way to use dynamic forms (specifically and preferably from Adobe LiveCycle) on the iPads. We use forms as electronic worksheets, and are trying to determine the best avenue to continue down. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I only spent a few seconds searching, but I did find this... https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dynoforms/id689415970?mt=8
I'm sure there are other apps out there as well.

How do I use dynamic JSP vars in a form tag with implicit sessions?

I'm using iAS 6 SP4 and 'lite' sessions w/ sticky LB on Win2K for development and need to use a dynamic variable (via an = scriptlet) to specify the URL a form tag's ACTION method posts to. The implicit URL session encoding attempts to add the hidden input tags to the form but part of it is getting cut off. If I remove the dynamic var scriptlet from the form tag it works fine. How can I use dynamic vars and implicit URL session encoding?
Here's my code sample:
<FORM NAME='Create' METHOD='POST' ACTION='<%= servletRootStr %>CreateServlet' TARGET='_top'>
Output is:
<FORM NAME='Create' METHOD='POST' ACTION='http://my.server.com/NASApp/WebStuffApp/Create' TARGET='_top'>T NAME="GXHC_gx_session_id_" TYPE="HIDDEN" VALUE="GXLiteSessionID--8351372849698357580" ></INPUT><INPUT NAME="GXHC_GX_jst" TYPE="HIDDEN" VALUE="d692bc3d662d6164" ></INPUT>
Because the <INPUT> tagon the first session var is cut off, up to the T, the page obviously fails. Can this be fixed with a config setting, or is it a bug in iPlanet??

Thanks for helping me Anurag.
The problem I tried to solve was that I want the result from my service methods
in XML format. I thought a callback/polling was the best alternative, am I right?
Since the callback option doesn´t work I will try to poll the service.
Are there any other options for solving my problem??
Thanks again!!

Andrej,
I guess you are trying to invoke a Webservice which defines a callback
method
from a JSP, and want the JSP to handle the callback made by the webservice.
For a client to be able to handle a callback made by a Webservice, it
has to be
a web service in itself.
Even some web service tools do not support 'Solicit responses' and hence
they
would not generate handlers for the callback methods by default. You
can download
a callback WSDL in such cases and implement it on the client side. The
server
side web service will then callback to that webservice.
The other option to callbacks is to use polling methods. This can be
done from
any client such as Java client/ JSP client or a .NET client.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.

How to create a form based on table using dynamic page?

Hi,
I need to create a form using dynamic page. How do you pass values from the html form to a oracle procedure that will get executed on submission of the form ? I could not find any documents which shows how to do that. Can anyone please help me out with an example ?
thanks,
Mainak

Hi,
Something seems to get added to the form action because of "http". Hence I am removing it.
You need to write a procedure with the values in the as parameters. Say for example you want to insert a record into dept
table then
Dynamic page code
<html>
<body>
<form action="portalschema.insert_dept">
<input type="text" name="p_deptno">
<input type="text" name="p_dname">
<input type="submit" name="p_action" value="save">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Procedure code.
create or replace procedure insert_dept
(p_deptno in number,
p_dname in varchar2,
p_action in varchar2)
is begin
if p_action = 'save' then
insert into scott.dept(deptno,dname) values(p_deptno,p_dname);
commit;
end if;
end;
grant execute on insert_dept to public;
Hope this helps.

Using dynamic referencing in PDF Form with Checkboxes

I have created a checklist that contains approx 60-70 steps. About 20 of them are to have a checkbox that fills an adjacent field with the date, and another with the user name. I have already got this functioning as a stand alone process.
aaa = checkbox
aaadate = field for date
aaaname = field for name
[code]
function test() {
var one = this.getField("aaa");
var two = this.getField("aaadate");
if (one.value == 'Yes') {
if (two.value == "") {
     this.getField("aaadate").value = util.printd("dd-mmm-yy",new Date());
     this.getField("aaaname").value = identity.name;
}} else if (one.value == 'Off') {
     this.getField("aaadate").value = "";
     this.getField("aaaname").value = "";
[/code]
I do not want to write a piece of code for each checkbox so I am trying to figure out how to use dynamic referencing so that when i check on a checkbox, the code takes the checked checkboxes' name (aaa) and is able to determine the two other fields name by appending/concatenating (name + "date" = aaadate)
I have tried various methods and done tremendous research; I'm not sure if I lack the knowledge to incorporate what I've found properly, if I just have been looking in the wrong places for the wrong things. It seems like this should be possible in a PDF form...
Please help

You need to inject the part of the field name that changes as a variable. So your code would be something like this:
function test(base) {
    var one = this.getField(base);
    var two = this.getField(base+"date");
    if (one.value == 'Yes') {
        if (two.value == "") {
            this.getField(base+"date").value = util.printd("dd-mmm-yy",new Date());
            this.getField(base+"name").value = identity.name;
    } else if (one.value == 'Off') {
        this.getField(base+"date").value = "";
        this.getField(base+"name").value = "";
And you would call it like so:
test("aaa");
test("bbb");
etc.

With a PDF Dynamic form using show/hide actions, how to ensure that when the completed form is saved, closed and re-opened, the form still show the fields as before it was closed?

With a PDF Dynamic form using show/hide actions, how to ensure that when the completed form is saved, closed and re-opened, the form still show the fields as before it was closed?
I have developed a form with fields hidden by default, that become visible based on box ticked or radio button selections.
My problem is that, when I close the form and re-open it, it comes back to it's default presentation, regardless of the information already recorded in the form (including in the now hidden fields.
How to correct that
Thanks in advance for any hint you can provide.

I've had the same problem. This solved it...
Go to the "Form properties..." in the File-menu. Select "Run-time" to the left and in the box "Scripting" Preserve scripting changes to form when saved: choose Automatically (Script-based state changes are saved locally in an insecure fashion. This option cannot be used for certified forms).
Hope it works for you to...

Itextsharp using livecycle form with dynamic table

Hello all, after searching Google for the past two days and not able to find any relevant information, hence this post.
Some background:
1) Created a pdf form using Adobe Livecycle designer 9.
2) It is a dynamic form with textboxes and a table configured to repeat rows dynamically.
3) Testing form using xml data within designer works just fine.
Requirement:
Need to populate form dynamically using data from database.
Solution:
Found iTextSharp (free assembly) which assists with populating existing pdf form.
Issue
This assembly works without any issue when populating textfields (see sample code below). The problem I am facing is with the dynamic table where in I am not able to reference rows greater than 1. Since the pdf template contains a table with just one row referencing the first row using acrofield works.
I was under impression since this is a dynamic table with repeat enabled, in asp.net if I referenced row2 onwards the table would grow automatically. Which I have come to realize is not going to be possible.
So I am looking for ideas on how I can accomplish this. I wish this could have been a fixed row table then reference rows would have been easier. However in this situation the table has to be dynamic.
Any ideas thoughts would be appreciated.
Below is my sample code:
PdfStamper ps = null;
try {
// read existing PDF document
PdfReader r = new PdfReader(
// optimize memory usage
new RandomAccessFileOrArray(Request.MapPath("itext.pdf")), null
ps = new PdfStamper(r, Response.OutputStream);
// retrieve properties of PDF form w/AcroFields object
AcroFields af = ps.AcroFields;
// fill in PDF fields by parameter:
// 1. field name
// 2. text to insert
af.SetField("txtCompany", "Company name");
af.SetField("txtDateDepartLocation", "date depart location");
af.SetField("txtDate","test date");
af.SetField("txtServiceNumber", "Service number");
af.SetField("Table2.Row1.Cell1", "1test");  this works
//doesnt work!!!
af.SetField("Table2.Row2.Cell1", "1test");
af.SetField("Table2.Row3.Cell1", "1test");
// make resultant PDF read-only for end-user
ps.FormFlattening = true;
// forget to close() PdfStamper, you end up with
// a corrupted file!
ps.Close();
catch { }
finally { if (ps != null) ps.Close(); }

Workflow using ADOBE form

Hi All,
I have designed the ADOBE form for Material Master creation.
My business scenarion is that the user has initiated the request for material master creation would call the form using SAP GUI and fill in all the form details. He sends the form to concerned manager for approval.
Need help to know system method to find the approval manager for the said user using SAP R/3 workflow or CAF would be required.
Regards,

Hi Rajeev,
Based on the information you provided. i think you have to create a workflow which has to be triggered when master record is created.
Below is the points which can help you to proceed further.
1) when user fills the online ADOBE form and clicks on save/send. the request will be sent to application server.
2) in the application server you have to call the workflow by passing the key values which identifies the particular user who initiated the request.
3) the activity step in the workflow will find the approval manager of the initiator by passing the initiator values.
Please talk to any SAP-HR functional person , who can guide you in finding the hierarchy of the employee/ manager relationship. as it is mostly based on SAP-HR issue.
Hope it shall be useful
Regards
Santosh
