Problems with Adobe PDF forms in Web Dynpro Java

[Former Member]

As of now , I have two major issues in developing Adobe PDF forms in Web Dynpro Java .

1.Text getting wrapped and repeated from the first line :

Any text field that flows to the next page gets wrapped at the end of the page and is again printed on the next page beginning from the first line .

For eg:

If I have 4 lines in a text field that is at the end of the page

1111111111111111111111

2222222222222222222222

3333333333333333333333

4444444444444444444444

and the page holds space for only two lines it prints the lines

1111111111111111111111

2222222222222222222222

in the first page and then proceeds to the next page and prints

1111111111111111111111

2222222222222222222222

rather than printing

3333333333333333333333

4444444444444444444444

2.No way to hide a page at runtime:

It is not possible to hide a page in a PDF form at runtime . If scripting is used , the page turns into a blank page but not hidden .

Any pointers on this????????

Helpful answers will be suitably rewarded with points!!!!

try like this

in PAI

loop at screen.

if screen-name = 'ITAB-COLMN1'.

screen-invisible = '1'.

modify screen.

endif.

endloop.

Hi Tahzeeb,

Which version u r using for netweaver.If u r using 7.0.11 ,& adobe life cycle designer 7.1 ,then ur first problem is fine.We are also getting same error,apart from that if a subform or text field splits into 2 pages,it truncates 2-3 lines also.We opened a ticket for that around 45 days back,but till now no response we have got.

for second problem what's the script u r using??can u send the script u have written??

Yes,I am using the versions that you mentioned.

I have a node called <b>MasterData</b> which is the root node for my PDF Form.I have a node called <b>GenData</b> inside this node whose <b>ctx_Appraisal_Type_Num</b> attribute is bound to a hidden TextField in my form.In the <b>docReady</b> event of this TextField, I am writing the following FormCalc script to hide my SubForm whose Id is <b>MngrCmptnc</b>

if(MasterData.GenData.ctx_Appraisal_Type_Num == "2")
then
MasterData.MngrCmptnc.presence = "visible"
MasterData.MngrCmptnc.MngrCmptnc.presence = "visible"
MasterData.StrImp.presence = "visible"
else
MasterData.MngrCmptnc.presence = "hidden"
MasterData.MngrCmptnc.MngrCmptnc.presence = "hidden"
MasterData.StrImp.presence = "hidden"
endif

hi kanwalpreet,

Can you be a little more specific. Where can i find this property that you mentioned . Is it possible for me to get a handle to the subform object so that I can set this property at runtime using FormCalc scripts???

Any help would be appreciated.
