Adobe Form Scripting

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a table and two buttons (Add / Delete ) in Adobe form and i am trying to do scripting for adding a row and deleteing a row in the table.

I am using the instanceManager.addInstance(1) for Add button.

My life cycle designer version is 7.1, i have also tried it in 8 version. This form is used in Webdynpro for Java.

the script is not working.

Can anyone please provide step by step details of doing this scripting? also the configuration required for dynamic form settings?

thanks,

Anil.

Hi Anil,

You need to use a dynamic PDF form to do so use In wdDoModifyView use code like this:

((IWDInteractiveForm)view.getElement("InteractiveFormxy")).setDynamicPDF(true);

I have seen lot of posts @ SDN where similar solution was suggested and it solved the dynamic form issue.

So is this line of code mandatory for forms developed through WD Java?

You need to use a dynamic PDF form for adding/removing subform instances. As far as I know the default for WDJ is static PDF forms where this does not work. That reminds me that adding/removing subform instances is not supported by Web Dynpro (both Java and ABAP). A workaround is needed to create context nodes on the server.

I mean if we set the form as Dynamic by selecting it as Interactive Form and also select the Default rendering as Dynamic PDF file do we still need to write this statement?

Hi Chintan,

The "defaults" are overwritten by API parameters. To make this more explicit Designer 8.1 and later provide more tabs for the form properties, e.g. an explicit Preview Tab
