Drop down list text value in Livecycle Designer

Posted by Theo van der Sluijs on 13 Nov 2009 in Adobe Interactive Forms | 5 comments

Last week I had to get the chosen item from a drop down list in a PDF Livecycle Designer Form. Easy enough you should think.

But it did not work as I thought it would work.

As you would think the : $.rawValue would get you the item you want. But I did not want to have the item value but the text value.

Disable Adobe Reader Toolbar in Webdynpro

Posted by Theo van der Sluijs on 12 Nov 2009 in Adobe Interactive Forms, SAP | 1 comment

Last week I was searching for a way to disable the Toolbar of the Adobe Reader in a Webdynpro application. I needed this when working for a NL 4 Business customer

SAP provided a way in the Form but that did not seem to work in Livecylce 8.0.

After a lot of searching on the Net and trying a lot of code I finally found a way to Hide / Disable the Toolbar of the Adobe Reader in the SAP Webdynpro application.

Auto remove highlighted fields

This week when working at NL for Business I was creating some PDF documents with Adobe Form Designer for a demo.

I noticed that when I had some required fields they instantly turned red and had a blue highlighting.

Like so:

I really really did not like this. So I searched the net and found a way to remove this

LiveCycle PDF Form big sized.

Posted by Theo van der Sluijs on 6 Apr 2009 in Adobe Interactive Forms | 0 comments

If you created a PDF form with SAP Interactive Form by Adobe or with Adobe LiveCycle Designer you sometimes get a large form which in essention is just a small form.

When creating forms for customers of NL for Business, I saw my form just get bigger and bigger when adding one or two more fields.
