adobe interactive form

[rupkbh]

I want to create a dropdownlist box in adobe forms , so that i can select the value without involving web dynpro.

when i am saving the adobe form , i am not able to use dropdown list , but i can do so in preview.

even if I am putting a text box it is not editable while saving but it is editable in preview for both the cases abap dictionary interface and xml interface.

actually i am new to adobe forms interactive.

1. sfp.

2. created an interface of dictionary type . created a data type based on the table containing 2 fields id, name.

3. created an adobe form., based on the interface.

4. put a dropdownlist box from web dynpro native.

5. went to binding and bound with the id field of the table.

6. clicked on preview, cant see any data.

7. after saving it as pdf , the dropdownlist is disabled, cant choose value.

but, if i am assigning values by click on list item say 1 , 2 manually i can see it in preview , but not in print preview or saving it as pdf file in local disk.

Hi can you send me the XDP to check...?

[rupkbh]

pls send your email address so that i can send the xdp and xsd file.

went to transaction sfp.

put a enumerated drop down list.

object --> field ==> list items ==> clicked + added texts A B C.

it is showing in preview, but not when i am saving as a pdf file.

put a second enumerated drop down list.

object --> binding => default binding : $record.IT_ADOBE.DATA[*].ID.

clicked on dont update any related properties.

*in preview, cant see any value , even when i click the drop down list, it gives a sound. nothing happens here and also after saving

.*

Hi,

I cannot have my id here, you can fetch it from my business card in profile.

[OttoGold]

preview does not have any "backend", so it cannot read the values. the form does not read the values itself, the program does it for the form. no program = no values.

Hi,

I have just tried several combinations of the form properties for you.

in File>Form Properties>Preview Tab --> Preview type is "interactive form" you can see the static values in the ENUM DD list both in ADLC preview and PDF published. just cross check the form properties from ADLC also once you save it as a PDF file reopen that PDf in ADLC and check it.

As Otto claimed if your are looking for dynamic data in local preview, its not possible right.

Regards,

Sai

i have put a enum DD , bound it with id field from zadobe table. in code initialization, written a select statement.

i have written a driver program:

CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN' "& Form Processing: Call Form

CHANGING

ie_outputparams = fp_outputparams

CALL FUNCTION 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' "& Form Processing Generation

EXPORTING

i_name = 'ZDEMOFORMRB'

IMPORTING

e_funcname = fm_name.

CALL FUNCTION fm_name

EXPORTING

/1BCDWB/DOCPARAMS = fp_docparams

CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_CLOSE'

execute prg, print view , can see only one value. now the drop down list looks like a text box, no drop down option. after saving as pdf same result.

I want a drop down list in a pdf with some values for that i can choose it in the pdf.

how to do?

[OttoGold]

a) in your code you don´t send any data

b) i fon´t understand why do you use enum DD which is for Webdynpro, I believe

Otto

i also dont understand what u r trying to say .

now this time taken a standard DD list , added some static values,. written a driver program.

its NOT WORKING. means i cant see the values after saving as PDF or in print preview ,,

BUT I CAN SEE IN ADOBE LIFE CYCLE DESIGN PREVIEW.

2ND CASE

bound the drop down list with id field. written driver program. added these lines.

data: it_adobe type standard table of zadobe.

SELECT * FROM zadobe INTO table it_adobe .

cannot see values in preview or after saving it.

now what to so. if you have done it please send the complete steps.

It sounds like your form is not set to be "Interactive." Before you are dynamically calling your function module

(i.e. CALL FUNCTION fm_name

EXPORTING

/1BCDWB/DOCPARAMS = fp_docparams ) are you setting fp_docparams-fillable = 'X' ?

This would make it interactive and you should see your values.

I want to make that ICON (dropdown icon) invisible.
