WDJ - Native Adobe Form - formating of drop-down box

Hi all,
I have an Adobe Form in WDJ that was created by other consultants some months ago. Its display type is Native, but it has input fields and some static drop-downs that are ActiveX controls. I had to get the dynamic drop-downs working and I was able to do that using the Drop-down from WebDynpro Native group. My problem now is that the WebDynpro Native Drop-down has a thick line around the input / selection box and I am unable to change that other than to remove any box. Even using a custom appearance and specifying the thickness of the lines does not change that.
Also now any box I add, even the ActiveX ones have a thick line around the box.
Any thoughts/
Thanks,
Elizabeth

Hey Elizabeth,
So, you must be using ALD 7.1 then. There is a patch 2 out for the ALD that might help to resolve this problem...
[Note 965548 - Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.1 Patch|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/965548]
Give that a shot...
Cheers,
Kevin

How to handle Drop Down Box on Interactive Adobe Form

Hi,

I have written a web dynpro application to fetch the data and display it on adobe interactive form, i could able to display the data for all the fields on adobe form except these drop down boxes, can any body suggest me how to handle these drop down boxes in webdynpro application. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thansk & Regards,

Hi Venkat,
As you are using the WDP ActiveX dropdown in your form, it is fine but to populate values in the DD, you need to bind the context attribute with a simpletype and then populate the values. Use the below code to obtain a ModifiableSimple Type:
IWDAttributeInfo abcInfo = wdContext.nodeABC().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("AttributeName");
ISimpleTypeModifiable def = abcInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
IModifiableSimpleValueSet abcValueSet = def.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
and after this put te values in the obtained modifieable simple type like below:
abcValueSet.put(key,value);
where key may be the ID and value may be the name to be displayed in DD.
Reward points if found helpful.

Manipulating drop-down boxes for fillable forms in Adobe XI Pro

I'm creating a form with multiple drop-down boxes. Is there anyway to create a selection with multiple lines? For instance, for addresses? Can I center the text inside of the drop-down, or bold it? Can a drop down be split into multiple lines to flow along with paragraphs?
Also, can a fillable text form expand without disrupting the rest of the document?
Is there any program that will do any of this?

Is there anyway to create a selection with multiple lines? For instance, for addresses?
- Yes, but only with a script and it's not a documented feature so sometimes it doesn't work well.
Can I center the text inside of the drop-down, or bold it?
- No.
Can a drop down be split into multiple lines to flow along with paragraphs?
- Not sure what you mean there... How is this different from the first question?
Also, can a fillable text form expand without disrupting the rest of the document?
- No.
Is there any program that will do any of this?
- The last one (expanding text fields) can be done if you create your form in LiveCycle Designer. The rest I'm not sure about.

How do I use a drop-down box to turn on a radio button?

I have a dynamic form with a drop-down box containing selections 1, 2, 3, and 4; later in the form I have a radio button group with two radio buttons labeled "pass" and "fail".
I would like to have drop-down selections 1 and 2 automatically select "fail" and 3 and 4 automatically select "pass" in the radio button group, with the option of the user changing this with a warning message.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thx
Drew

Hi,
you can use this JavaScript in the change event of your drop down list.
var sel = xfa.event.newText;
RadioButtonGroup.rawValue = (sel === "1" || sel === "2") ? 1 : 2;

Drop down boxes in PDF files

Is there any possible way to open pdf forms and enter drop down boxes into pre existing forms? We fill out the same form constantly but some of the information varies only slightly and drop down boxes would make the process more efficient. Either that, or being able to load pdf files with a skeleton over them already would also work. If anybody knows how to do this, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Drop down boxes are called combo boxes in Acrobat. You can add them to PDFs if there are no security settings in place that restrict editing the document. Acrobat's help document has more information on adding form fields.

Drop Down Box Problem

I have a form with several drop down boxes. The boxes work
just fine when I export the movie in to Flash Player. But when I
open website in its browser (firefox), the drop down boxes do not
drop down.
Now I have thought that maybe it is because the swf file
which contains this form is externally loaded into a movie clip.
Would this screw it up at all?
I can email you the two files if you like to look over. Its
REALLY puzzling me!
Thanks
Kit

Sorry, someone wrot this code for me. Where do I put that in
here?....
And what is the name of the movie clip's instance name?
//set up holding clip
var holder = this.createEmptyMovieClip('holder', 0);
//set up progress bar
var pbar = this.createEmptyMovieClip('pbar', 100);
var pbg = pbar.createEmptyMovieClip('pbg', 0);
var bar = pbar.createEmptyMovieClip('bar', 1);
pbar.pbg.lineStyle(2, 0xFFFFFF, 20, false, 'none', 'none');
pbar.pbg.moveTo(0,0);
pbar.pbg.lineTo(150,0);
pbar.bar.lineStyle(2, 0xFFFFFF, 100, false, 'none', 'none');
pbar.bar.moveTo(0,0);
pbar.bar.lineTo(150,0);
pbar.bar._xscale = 0;
pbar._x = Stage.width/2-485;
pbar._y = Stage.height/2-300;
pbar._visible = false;
//set up loading method
var mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
var lstn = new Object();
mcl.addListener(lstn);
lstn.onLoadStart = function(clip) {
pbar._visible=true;
lstn.onLoadProgress = function(clip, bl, bt) {
pct=Math.round(bl/bt*100);
pbar.bar._xscale=pct;
lstn.onLoadComplete = function(clip) {
pbar._visible=false;
mcl.loadClip('jr.swf', holder);

Form- Submit Button/Drop-down file format and error message HELP (!!)

I am setting up a form with a drop-down menu and a submit a form button that is supposed to email the form. My coworker opened it and filled it out and pressed submit and it replied "the file may be read-only or another user may have it open..." How do I fix this problem as the creator of the form not the receiver? Also, is there a way that I can save it in a format that would allow people who do not have adobe acrobat reader on their computers to still be able to use the drop-down and submit button?

Have you tried anything from here yet: http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/troubleshoot-javascript-errors-dreamweaver-cs4.html

you can create a method to populate the context attribute that you are using to map to your dropdown box.
DATA: node_info TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node_info.
DATA: it_table TYPE wdr_context_attr_value_list.
** select your dropdown data into it_table and pass it to your context attribute.
** here, mine is call PROJ_TYPE - the values should appear in your dropdown.
node_info->set_attribute_value_set(
name = 'PROJ_TYPE'
value_set = it_table ).

Standalone Interactive Forms without ABAP Dynpro and Drop down boxes

Friends,
I need to create Adobe interactive form with drop down boxes. I have 2 questions:
1) do i need to use abap dynpro to display the form or can i display the form using print program
2) for using drop down box, should i use the one from standard library or Web Dynpro ActiveX or Web Dynpro Native library
Points will be rewarded for helpful answers.
Thanks.

Its not necessary to have ABAP web Dynpro to create and display adobe forms. You can display it in programs in ABAP. Go to following link to know more:

There is a sample application for Adobe form in ABAP and lot more.
You can use web dynpro Native dropdown list.

Why form is creating a "memory" drop-down box in the PDF Form

I have created a form for someone using Adobe Acrobat CS4. While this doesn't happen when I use it on my computer, or even my work computer, apparently one of the end users, as they enter data into the form, it remembers previous information she had entered and gives her like a "memory" drop down box. She doesn't want that. How can I format it so it doesn't do that? Thank you.

Edit > Preferences > Forms > Turn Auto-Complete off

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. How can I fix this?

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. Can I fix this?

I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

Create a dynamic form where selected text boxes appears, based on options chosen in a drop-down box

HELP!!! Can anyone please provide some guidance on how to create a dynamic form where selected text boxes appears, based on options chosen in a drop-down box.
I have a form which – based on the department that's selected from a drop-down box – will have different form fields/text boxes, etc, made available.
Is this possible in LiveCycle, if so, can you please provide the script/info - as needed.
Thanks,

In the preOpen event of the second dropdown list you put something like (in formCalc):
if (dropdown1 == 1) then
$.clearItems()
$.setItems("Year, 2 Year, 3 Year")
elseif (dropdown1 == 2) then
$.clearItems()
$.setItems("3 Year, 4 Year")
endif

CRASH REPORT Product: Adobe Photoshop CC Application running on: Apple iMac 3.5GHz / Mavericks 10.9.2 Application crashes without warning. . Symptom: Drop down boxes go blank white (I shot screen captures of blank drop down boxes) and application

CRASH REPORT
Product: Adobe Photoshop CC
Application running on:
Apple iMac 3.5GHz late 2013 / Mavericks 10.9.2
Application crashes without warning. Symptom: Drop down boxes go blank white (I shot screen captures of blank drop down boxes) and application stops working, actions for appox. 10 minutes preceding crash are lost. Force Quit required to quit unresponsive / frozen application and then Restart of Adobe Photoshop CC
Crash Frequency: Three time in this work day, 5.6.14 Once a day sporadically (approximately 10 times) in past two weeks.
Other applications running at time of crashes: Adobe Bridge - NOT effected. Computer was on line with no browsers open.
Otherwise computer continued to operate normally.
I have been using Adobe Photoshop CC for approximately two months.

Thanks, Chris,
I hope that this is the solution.
re: "And a crash report without an actual crash report (a long, detailed text document available from the crash report dialog), is not all that useful" :
I did in deed submit a homemade crash report.
I would have submitted "an actual Crash Report " and sooner, but: When this event occurs. there are NO dialog boxes. All frozen / blank. No possibility of "actual crash report" !
Thank you!
