Hello Everybody,

 

Adobe form are supposed to give the possibility of integration with SAP.

 

My needs is to attach my adobe form to a standard SAP Transaction (program) .

Is there anyone who could tell me how to do attach a form to a standard SAP Transaction ?

Or is there anyone who knows where the documentation is ?

 

We tried to use NACE transaction, but my transaction is not included in the available transaction.

Using the transaction OB84 seems not to be functional. (Form are attached to a client.).

 

Transaction I want to configure are  F.26 or FINT .

Any help would be really appreciated.

I have been reading forums and link for days and I can’t find the way it works.

 

Best regards

Abdou

 

PS : I asked before on scn forums but no one has responded. Moderator told me it seems to be a product related problematic. So I try here.

I have a form with 7 pages but I would like to be able to duplicate page 3 & 4. be added if necessary. The principle is if form detail has only 1 person, I complete page 3 & 4, but if I need to add another person, by clicking a button, 2 new pages (copied from page 3 & 4) will be populated.

Any help is welcome.

Automatic font size reduction in a PDF form

$

Hello everybody!

 

I'm working with SAP.

 

On my current project I would like to implement a customer form via Adobe Lifecycle Designer.

 

I'm going to ask a developer to implement the following logic:

 

There is a fixed rectangular area in the form. This area should represent a text.

 

In case of long text I would like to reduce the font size to fit the text into the area. It should look like that

http://lh4.ggpht.com/_cAQDpIBg5Bg/S3glj2MIo6I/AAAAAAAAAIk/SN9vEwOEYCY/scale.jpg

Text alignment within the area is Horizontal Centered, Vertical Centered
Text wrap is on
Font is Arial, initial size is 10

 

Is it possible to implement?

Currency Field?

$
0
0

Hi there,

 

Does LiveCycle Designer not have a currency field as a field type?  It has numeric and it has text, but no currency?  Do I really have to manually tell this expensive program how to accept currency values such as the oh so uncommon US dollar sign? 

 

I set my field type as "Numeric" and in "Validation Pattern" I listed the following for the "Validation" and "Edit" patterns:

zero{0}|num{zzzzzzzzzzzz9}|num{z,zzz,zzz,zz9}|num{zzzz9.zzz}|num{z,zzz,zz9.zzz}|num{zzzz9. 999}|num{z,zzz,zz9.999}|num{$z,zz9.99}

 

I listed the following for the "Display" pattern:

zero{0}|num{$z,zz9.99}|num{$zz,zz9.99}|num{$zzz,zz9.99}

 

When I test the field, it does not allow me to enter the dollar sign ($) in the field.  For example, if I enter "$123" into the field then exit the field the data then disappears. I can enter "123" and it converts it to $123.00 when I exit the field, which is what I want.  However, our users need to also be able to enter the US dollar sign and not have their data disappear if they do. 

 

Please help.

 

Thank you.

How to set display patterns on a decimal field to handle user text entered in error.

$
0
0

Hi

 

I'm creating a PDF in LiveCycle, which has a decimal field with the display pattern 'num{zzz,zzz,zz9.99}'.  The idea is for users to enter a numerical value with a maximum of two decimal points (i.e. 1,234.01)

 

Now I'm testing this form out to see whether it'll handle any incorrect user entries - especially the scenario where a user enters some string (letters) in this field by error. When I'm testing this scenario on Acrobat Pro, any text entries will be cleared out as soon the user tabs out of the field (which is exactly what I want it to do as it only should accept numerical values).

 

However when testing this out in Adobe Reader (with Reader Extendability switched on), any text entries are replaced with a "0.00" when the user tabs out of the field.  Unfortunately this is not what I want .  Replacing an incorrect entry with a 0.00 is actually a misrepresentation, because 0.00 is a valid entry that the users should be allowed to enter if they want to (hope that last sentence made sense ).

 

Does anyone have any ideas how this can be sorted? I'm thinking this is something to do with the "Allow Empty" or the "Allow Zero" settings on the display pattern window.  But i haven't got a clue on where to start because I've never used those settings before. Any help anyone can provide me will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks. display pattern.JPG

Calculating times past midnight

Hello All,

 

I am working on a timesheet for employees. It has 4 time fields (amIN, amOUT, pmIN, pmOUT) to allow for a lunch break. I have a script that calculates well for normal business hours. BUT, if the work shift goes past midnight, then it does not calculate correctly.

 

Here is what I have in FormCalc in a calculate event:

 

var fullTime = 0
var breakTime = 0
 
if (pmIN ne null and pmOUT ne null) then
          if (Time2Num(amIN.formattedValue, "HH:MM") < Time2Num(pmOUT.formattedValue, "HH:MM")) then
                    fullTime = Abs(Time2Num(amIN.formattedValue, "HH:MM") - Time2Num(pmOUT.formattedValue, "HH:MM")) /(60 * 60 * 1000)
          else
                    fullTime = 24 - Abs(Time2Num(pmOUT.formattedValue, "HH:MM") - Time2Num(amIN.formattedValue, "HH:MM")) /(60 * 60 * 1000)
          endif
          
          breakTime = Abs(Time2Num(pmIN.formattedValue, "HH:MM") - Time2Num(amOUT.formattedValue, "HH:MM")) /(60 * 60 * 1000)
          $ = fullTime - breakTime
else

          fullTime = Abs(Time2Num(amIN.formattedValue, "HH:MM") - Time2Num(amOUT.formattedValue, "HH:MM")) /(60 * 60 * 1000)
          $ = fullTime
         
if (amIN == null) then $=null else $=(fullTime - breakTime)
endif

endif

 

 

Anybody please help me?

 

thanks

Time calculations with FormCalc

$

Hello!

 

I'm trying to create a simple timesheet form in Designer but things don't seem to work the way I expected.

 

I have two Time fields where users are supposed to inform start and end times for a task. A third time field should display the elapsed time.

So I tried to solve this with FormCalc:

 

var interval = 0

interval = Time2Num(endTime.formattedValue, "HH:MM") - Time2Num(startTime.formattedValue, "HH:MM")

$.formattedValue = Num2Time(interval, "HH:MM")

 

It doesn't work. I mean, if I inform startTime = 10:00 and endTime = 11:00, the result is 23:00. How come?

Now, if I inform startTime = 09:00 and endTime = 11:00, the result is 00:00.  Huh?

 

Please, could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? 

 

Season Greetings!

I have a dynamic table inside the PDF form. I want to loop through the table rows and read the cell contents. I successfully get the rows count in the table. But can't read the values from the cells. I have put editable TextField (txtName) control in each cell and trying to read its value.

 

screenshot is below.

 

table_loop_error.jpg

 

 

Code I am using is:

 

 form1.Page1.Subform1.btnReadTable::click - (JavaScript, client)

var rowCount = MyTable._Row1.count;
app.alert("Row Count: " + rowCount);
var i = 0;

for(i=0 ; i<rowCount ; i++)
{    //app.alert(MyTable.Row1[i].txtName.rawValue); // NOT WORKING       app.alert(MyTable.Row1.txtName.rawValue); // WORKING, But just giving the value for the first row.
}

 

 

Please tell me how can I get the value of each name in every row by looping.

 

Thanks in advance.

Chrome not displaying PDFs using Adobe Reader Plugin - XFA Forms will not work in Chrome

See this post:


https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topicsearchin/chrome/adobe$20plugin%7Csort:releva nce/chrome/TYbj21PkcAQ


For security reasons, Google is removing support for NPAPI plugins from Chrome Browser starting version 42.x.

 

To see Chrome Version, go to: chrome://version/  in Chrome.

 

This means for example:

 

- Applications based on Java will not work in Chrome,

 

- Adobe Dynamic Forms (XFA based PDFs) will not display as a plugin inside Chrome

 

- You must enable the native PDF Viewer in Chrome to display other types of PDF inside Chrome.

 

- There is a temporary work around until September. Read the post above for details.

 

We need to find from Adobe what is the future of displaying Adobe Dynamic PDFs inside Chrome Browser?

Hello, say I have the following checkboxes:

 

A

B

With only the checkboxes that are ticked showing up on printed copy. Say only C & D are checked, as I have it now there is a lot of space between the previous field and C & D with A & B not printing. Is there a way to move these boxes up to the top to decrease the blank space?

Problems with page break within table content

Hi All,

 

I have a problem which i can't solve =(

 

I have 3 subforms Header, Table and Footer.

Header and Footer should not have page breaks.

Table creates dynamicly - so i don't know number of rows.

 

If number of rows too much Footer should goes to the next page. Moreover at least one row of table should goes with Footer to the next page.

For Table and Footer subforms i set Keep With Previous flag. This is to prevent page break between Footer and Table and between Header and Table.

But page break in table occurs only if number of rows enough to fill all space of current page...

 

Have you ideas how to solve this?

Scripting Sequential Numbers into textboxes

$

Hi,

 

Im trying to get a script for sequential number increament.

I've got 50 textboxes that have to be prefilled by sequential numbers based on the first textbox input.

 

So if I have 009 in textbox 1, I need 010 to appear in textbox2, 011 to appear in textbox3, 012 to appear in textbox4 etc until 050 in the last text box.

 

I have tried to use a read only calculation script to add "1" to each text box, however, the field does not have the same format as the first textbox with the zeros in front, so textbox 2 would have 10 instead of 010, textbox 3 would have 11 instead of 011.

 

Do you have any solution for me please? All I want is for the automatically calculated boxes to add up, using the same format as what is inputed in the first textbox.

 

thanks.

Form Calc If then statement help

I have a form that I am creating that has a dropdown menu (1-10 numbers) which I need to convert the selected number to a long text field on a different field.  The text fields are just too long to use on the dropdown menu.

 

if (dropdownlist=1) then

     (textfield1="some long text")

End if

 

What is the correct format for the formCalc script to use?  I am assuming that I can repeat the number to text conversion script.

 

Thanks


Insert NEW PAGE in the middle of existing pdf in designer.

I have a long PDF I'm creating by adding sections on from the bottom. I can add NEW PAGE at the bottom.

I'm stuck now where I am missing a page in the middle and want to add page 30 to a document with 45 pages.

CAN I ADD A BLANK PAGE IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS DOCUMENT? If yes, then tell me how, if no

then, the only way would be to delete 31 to 45 and reinsert those all over again? TRUE. This is my first

time in a forum like this. I've read questions often and then read no so many really good answers. Please help.

Form - Lock fields after input but not signatures.

$
0
0

Good Afternoon,

 

I’ve been reading through the Adobe forums as well as other areas on the net, but can’t seem to find what I am looking for.

 

At present we are doing the below:

 

  1. User will open a pre-made PDF form in Adobe Acrobat 7 Standard, and input the necessary values for each field.
  2. They will then print the form to acrobat making everything on the form non-editable.
  3. Then they will send this new non-editable form to one of their supervisors, who would then review the form and insert their digital signature somewhere on the form.
  4. The supervisor will then send the form to another supervisor who also reviews the form and creates their digital signature on the form.
  5. Then the form is then sent to the manager where the same things happens. The manager will review the form and insert his digital signature somewhere in an open space on the form.

 

We want to minimize some steps here to make it easier for the users as well as make the form more organized.

 

Below is what we are trying to accomplish with this form.

 

  1. User will open pre-made PDF form in Adobe Acrobat 7 Standard, and input the necessary values for each field.
  2. The user will then push some sort of button that will lock all editable fields (EXCEPT the signature fields, these must be left editable).
  3. The user then sends the form to the supervisor, who will review the form and insert their digital signature in the blank signature box at the bottom of the page (I have already completed this step)
  4. This supervisor will then send the form to the other supervisor to be reviewed and digitally signed in the next available signature box at the bottom of the page and then it will head on to the next person to be reviewed and signed.

 

So what I am looking for is a way for the first user to lock the editable fields once they are completed filling them in, course except for the signature fields which are about 10 of them.

 

Can anyone give me some advice on how to accomplish this? Please do note that I am working with “Adobe Livecycle Designer ES2” as well as “Acrobat X Professional”. Would also be good to mention that I knew nothing of LiveCycle until about an hour ago. So I am very new on how this works. My knowledge on Acrobat Professional I would say is between average to advanced.

 

Kind Regards,

K

Pagination Woes

Hi all,

 

I have a multi-page (non-flowing) form with two different Master Pages (not sure if it's important for this exercise). I have set all pages to place On Page "FORM" or On Page "CONTENT" dependant on design of the form and set after  to "Continue Filling Parent". See attached Image:

 

paginate.jpg

I have these settings throughout my form and it works everywhere but one location. It grabs the subform and places it directly following the previous subform... on the previous page, in the margin, and not visible beyond the title. See attached image:

 

page2.jpg

 

I have set Page 2 to "Top of Next Page" and this works temporarily, it fails when the previous page (Page 1) is hidden based on the form settings. This causes a blank page to be created.

 

 

Any suggestions are appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Andrew

Tables

Hi there,

 

I am designing an application form on LiveCycle. 

Currently, I have used tables to produce areas for applicants to detail previous employment and education.  To make the cells editable I have right clicked and selected 'Wrap in Subform' - then right click again and 'Change object type>Text'

 

The main 2 problems I am encountering are...

 

1) I have to do the above steps cell by cell - is there a way to blanket the table and do them all at once? Or produce the table already in this format?

2) Once saved, using the document in Adobe, you can only input one line of text in each cell - if you hit return, it takes you back out of the cell, and if the writing overruns the cell, then it only displays what is visible in that one line of text, rather than wrapping onto the next line.

 

Forgive me if these are obvious questions, it is the first time I have used LiveCycle.

 

Also, if anyone knows of a better way to do this, than using a table, I will be very happy to hear it!

 

Thanks
