Using Rich Text in interactive form

Hi,
I am trying to enter rich text in a form and submitting it to a web dynpro application.
To achieve this I created a context attribute (type string) and mapped it through an interface with the form. In the form I created a text field (type XHTML). I unchecked the 'allow plain text only' option and unchecked the 'Allow multiple lines' option although multiple lines would be nice as my goal is to store a large block of rich formatted text.
When I press the submit button the form field is not synchronized with the wd application. Another (plain text) field works fine so I assume I have setup the interactive form ok. Please let me know what it is that I am doing wrong here. Or if it is not possible, let me know also.
Thanks,
Raymond

Hi,
No, not yet (I did not have time for it...). The next thing I will try is to modify my interface. At the moment I use a XML schedule based interface and I would like to try an ABAP based interface. Don't know if that will help but it is worth a try.

  • How to use rich text?

    Hi All,
    I want dynamically to output in adobe print form some fields from a table in this way.

    I think you have to use floating filed.
    <i>Click inside the Static Text object in which you want to place the floating Text Field object.
    Place your cursor on the line where you want Designer to insert the floating Text Field object.
    Select Insert > Floating Field( from designer memu).
    To set the properties of the Floating Field, click the Floating Field marker inside the Static Text object, and then select options as needed. It is good practice to rename the floating Text Field object and specify the necessary binding.</i>
    in your case you have use 2 fileds , 1 for description , 1 for text.for 2nd field make bold in the properties.
    static text, description and text fields should be in subform.
    Inside static text filed,after binding it will appera as below.

  • Using rich text editor in new asset type input form

    Hey everyone,
    I'm currently trying to create assets based on a newly created asset type (which I of course, created). However, the STORAGE property I declared in the asset definition file is to support formatted text, which would normally be pasted from word documents. Note that I'm using the Basic Asset Model.
    Thus, I need a rich-text editor to be used in the content input form. So, after looking at the tags reference in the developer's documentation, I thought that I could use EWEBEDITPRO to achieve my goal but there's always an error mentionning that the component can't be launched. I supposedly have to configure two parameters, one of them being the path for ewebeditpro.js. I looked for that but haven't found it. On the other hand, I looked at the Oracle WebCenter Sites Property File document and that one stated that EWEBEDITPRO is deprecated and not supported (?!?!).
    So in short, what can I use, as a rich-text/html editor?? Thanks in advance for any reply!

    Thanks. From what I've read in the developer's guide, CKEditor was available with assets built from the Flex model. However, I'm currently having a hard time trying to display the content of an attribute with content input through the CKEditor, because it's stored in a blob. Although I've found several examples showing how to read the content of a blob, none of them worked for me...

  • Export rich text from Adobe Form to MS Word or MS Excel

    Hi,
    I have created a form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro. It consists of some text fields, where formatting of the text is important. I have chosen allow rich text formatting in the textfield and that works fine. Export to Excel via .csv works fine, but formatting is of course lost.
    I will receive many forms back, and would like to automate as much of the process as possible. My question is if there is any way to do a batch export of a certain text field including the formatting to either MS word or Excel?
    An alternative might be to export only the specific text field from all collected forms to a one PDF File and copy paste this into word.
    If I can get this to work, everything should work as planned.
    Sorry if this has been asked before. Have done numerous searches, so far without result.
    Best regards,
    mlang1111

    Probably, the font used isn't installed in your system, and the creator of the PDF file didn't embed it properly.

  • Using rich text editor (RTE) for custom applications

    Our users enter texts on two places:
    1) In Oracle Portal in text-items using the Rich Text Editor.
    2) In text-fields in a custom application using html-tags <textarea>blabla</textarea>. For formatting the users currently have to type in html-tags themselves. Now we want to provide them an html-editor.
    We would prefer to use the Rich Text Editor also for the custom application. However, that is integrated in Portal and the java-scripts are not easy to follow.
    Have you tried something similar? So, did you use the Rich Text Editor for your own application? If yes, how?
    If not, a very good alternative would be the qwebeditor (see http://www.qwebeditor.com). Did anybody replace the standard Portal rich text editor with the qwebeditor? In the Portal guides there are instructions about replacing the Portal rich text editor by another editor, but it is not clear if this will also work with the qwebeditor.
    Thanks for your respons !
    Best regards, Jan Willem Vermeer

    Hi Jan,
    I have configured FCKeditor in a few clients, and the process it's pretty straight forward, you can use the steps in the document (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/pdf/cm_rte_1014_features.pdf) .
    Basically you download FCKeditor and put it in your apache server (you can put it unde rthe htdocs folder) after that, all you need to do is modify $ORACLE_HOME/portal/images/webword/buildUIHTML.html to reference the FCKeditor JS and CSS, and you can do the same type of reference for your custom apps.

  • Using Rich Text Editor with a Custom Attribute

    Hello All,
    Can anyone please tell me as how can I use the Rich Text Editor with a Custom Attribute?
    I want to create a custom attribute based on text datatype, but when entering the value for this attribute in a Custom Item, portal shows a normal textarea. I want that the user should see the Richt Text Editor.
    Thanks for help.
    Regards

    Hi,
    Can you tell me what steps you are using to produce this, and which Portal version you are using. When I tried it, I wasn't able to reproduce it. Here are my steps:
    1) Created Custom Item Type, based on Text, under
    Page Groups > Shared Objects > Item Types
    2) Selected Three attributes (Description, Name, Publish Date). Note Text and Display Name were already selected
    3) In Add Item Wizard, configured list to allow for my
    custom item type selection.
    4) Then I was able to see the Rich Text Editor when editin
    my custom item type.

  • Issue with Mail not using rich text

    I'm using the Mail app on snow leopard and I can't seem to utilize the rich text functionality within the program. It is set to "Rich Text" via Preferences -> Composing but all my emails come in as plain text ("Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii").
    Can someone help me with this?

    So why does it have a default option to send as rich text then? Am I missing something?
    "Rich Text" doesn't really mean anything unless you select the font size, font face, color, etc. As you can see, there is no place to do that in the Composing preferences. You have to do that in the New Message pane, or there isn't anything "rich" to send. Mail's Font preferences apply to local display, not to composing.
    Mail has always behaved this way and the issue has been discussed dozens of times in these forums, because many people working in the Windows world want to have all their email sent out in rich text with a certain font and size by default. Mail lacks this feature, and there is no sign it will change, so some people switch to Entourage or Thunderbird.
    A possible workaround in Mail is to use an html signature and start your message in the first line of that. Or use stationery.

  • Use of pdfSource in Interactive Forms in webdynpro

    hi,
    please let me know the use of "<b>pdfSource</b>" property while designing the Interactive form in webdynpro. i tried with and without creating the pdfSource property in my application and still there were no errors while deploying it.
    Thanks
    Regards
    Poojith M V

    Hello Poojith M V,
    Let me answer your query in a little bit more details. The statement first: An interactive form can be rendered with or without a pdfSource attribute.
    But there are significant differences in the way they work and the application is designed. When you have the pdfSource bound to a context attribute of type binary, you do a PDF interchange between the browser and the server. The whole point is that you will always have the latest PDF document (binary) available in that context attribute on the server and you can make use of this binary PDF to do anything your apllication requires (saving it onto the file system, storing it into the database, performing some other operations on the server, email it etc etc etc).
    Now, the other side of it, when you do not have the pdfSource bound to a context attribute, only XML exchange happens in between the browser and the server. Well, that means you only have the latest XML data available on the server at any point in time and since you have not bound the pdfSource, you do not have the binary PDF available to you through the context. There are ways you can get it but not through the context and not the latest one. It would still contain the initial data it had in the first request response cycle as you have not updated the PDF after that.
    Now, the question is, which one to use ? It completly depends on your application requirements. There are certain functionalities which are not possible without having the latest PDF binary in hand. For example, you want to apply a digital signature on the document, you want to add an attachment on the document etc. But, then in most  of the scenarios, the application would just need to exchange data between the client and the server (and vice versa) and do not worry about the binary PDF. That is the ideal case when you need not bind the pdfSource. It will be faster as well.
    Hope that clarifies your doubt to certain extent. Go ahead and start with you interactive form application.
    Best Regards,
    Krish

  • 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
