Make your adobeforms more

interactive with Formcalc


August 16, 2017

The way Beauty is incomplete without brain!!!!!!!!

Interactive form is incomplete without scripts.

So let’s discuss the golden part of Interactive adobeforms.

If you are still making V shape with your eyebrow that what I am talking
about, let me tell you it’s a Java script/formcalc.
In this article I will be covering how to fill color into input fields, simple
mathematical operation, conditional statement and popup windows.

If you don’t know the basic of interactive form and you have not created
before kindly go through the how to create an interactive adobeforms.
Before starting the formcalc function the important thing is “how to access
the particular element”.

Let’s say you have one input_no input field in your adobeform.
And one submit button. To apply formcalc function on INPUT_NO you can
use

Input_no field as ADOBE_DATA.INPUT_NO (see the hierarchy view which


gives you a clear idea)

After wrapping it into subform it will be access like


So starting with our first sample:

1. How to fill the input field with a color.

For this you can use a fill color attribute of the input field.

See the blow screen shot (“Don’t worry about extra buttons simply
remember that you want to fill the color in the input_no field when you click
on the FILL COLOR Button”)

So as I said before to read the input_no field.you need to use

ADOBE_DATA.FORM.INPUT_NO.FillColor = “102,179,255”

Write the above script to Click event of the pushbutton.

So it will fill the input_no field with the color specified.

Now execute Webdynpro application or you can test it using Preview PDF
tab.
How to use IF condition and arithmetic operations.

The requirement is to add 100 into input_no field if it contains less than 100
value and subtract 100 from the input_no field if it contains more than 100.

This addition or subtraction should be carried out when you click on the
ADD/SUBTRACT Button.

To achieve this :Add a button ADD/SUBTRACT as shown in the below screen


shot and add the below formcalc script in onclick event of that button.

if ( ADOBE_DATA.FORM.INPUT_NO.rawValue < 100 ) then

ADOBE_DATA.FORM.INPUT_NO.rawValue = ADOBE_DATA.FORM.INPUT_NO.rawValue + 10

else
ADOBE_DATA.FORM.INPUT_NO.rawValue = ADOBE_DATA.FORM.INPUT_NO.rawValue – 10

endif

How to display the POPUP BOX in the interactive form.

Put one more button in the layout name it as “Popup”.

Click on it and insert the formcalc script as

xfa.host.messageBox( “This is the test for Popupbox”)


Execute your webdynpro application or go to Preview PDF for testing. All
the formacalc script
