SAP Adobe Forms - Header Information Not carrying over after page 2

Hello Adobe Experts,

I really need some help with some Adobe Forms and Adobe LiveCycle.

Background:

I have created a master form that contains a Landscape_Factsheet fragment that will be used by multiple content forms.

In the header it contains a logo, address, title and page n of m objects. It also contains three text fields: GST Number (A goods tax number), a title for either "CREDIT MEMO NUMBER" or "TAX INVOICE NUMBER" depending what type of document is used and the reference number for that credit memo or invoice as the client wants it to be shown on the top of each page when it overflows.

 

 

In the content form, I have added some scripting to access the three text fields stated above in the hidden fields contained in fromHiddenGlobalFields as a new hidden field called "txtGSTNumber":

Code snippet for the form title contained in the field "txtFormTitle" (this is the standard SAP code I haven't touched and relevant for later):

Form.frmHiddenGlobalFields.txtFormTitle::ready:layout - (FormCalc, both)

// Set the form title as the combination of title and document ID, separated by colon

//First Page (always available)

var lvDocumentID = $record.C_FinInvoiceHeaderFDPType.AccountingDocument

 

if( $record.C_FinInvoiceHeaderFDPType.to_ARItem.DebitCreditCode == "H" ) then

xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet[0].mst1.FirstPage.frmHeader.txtTitle") = Form.frmHiddenStaticTexts.lblFormTitleCreditMemo.rawValue;//credit memo for title

else

xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet[0].mst1.FirstPage.frmHeader.txtTitle") = Form.frmHiddenStaticTexts.lblFormTitle.rawValue;//tax invoice form title

endif

//Second Page (must only be executed if there is are subsequent pages)

var pageCount = xfa.layout.pageCount();

 

if (pageCount > "1")

then

xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet[0].mst2.SubsequentPage.frmHeader.txtTitle") = Form.frmHiddenStaticTexts.lblFormTitle.rawValue//Concat( Form.frmHiddenStaticTexts.lblFormTitle.rawValue, lvDocumentID );

endif

Code snippet for the three text fields contained in the field "txtGSTNumber":

 Form.frmHiddenGlobalFields.txtGSTNumber::ready:layout - (FormCalc, client)

//First Page (always available)

 

var lvDocumentID = $record.C_FinInvoiceHeaderFDPType.AccountingDocument

 

if( $record.C_FinInvoiceHeaderFDPType.to_ARItem.DebitCreditCode == "H" ) then

xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet[0].mst1.frmFooter.frmFooterBlock_1.txtLine").presence = "hidden"; //hide footer

xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet[0].mst1.frmFooter.frmFooterBlock_2.txtLine").presence = "hidden"; //hide footer

xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet[0].mst1.FirstPage.frmHeader.GSTNumber.GSTNumber") = $record.C_FinInvoiceHeaderFDPType.to_CompanyCode.VATRegistration

xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet[0].mst1.FirstPage.frmHeader.GSTNumber.txtCreditMemoTitle") = Concat(Upper(Form.frmHiddenStaticTexts.lblFormTitleCreditMemo.rawValue), " NUMBER" ); //credit memo number title

xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet[0].mst1.FirstPage.frmHeader.GSTNumber.txtCreditMemoNum") = Form.frmHiddenGlobalFields.txtDocumentID.rawValue //credit memo doc number

else

//set GST number

xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet[0].mst1.FirstPage.frmHeader.GSTNumber.GSTNumber") = $record.C_FinInvoiceHeaderFDPType.to_CompanyCode.VATRegistration

xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet[0].mst1.FirstPage.frmHeader.GSTNumber.txtCreditMemoTitle") = Concat(Upper(Form.frmHiddenStaticTexts.lblFormTitle.rawValue), " NUMBER" ); //tax invoice number title

xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet[0].mst1.FirstPage.frmHeader.GSTNumber.txtCreditMemoNum") = Form.frmHiddenGlobalFields.txtDocumentID.rawValue//tax invoice doc number

endif

 

//Second Page (must only be executed if there is are subsequent pages)

var pageCount = xfa.layout.pageCount();

 

if (pageCount > "1")

then

if( $record.C_FinInvoiceHeaderFDPType.to_ARItem.DebitCreditCode == "H" ) then

xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet[0].mst2.SubsequentPage.frmHeader.txtTitle") = Form.frmHiddenStaticTexts.lblFormTitleCreditMemo.rawValue;//Credit memo Form title

xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet[0].mst2.SubsequentPage.frmFooterBlock_1.txtLine").presence = "hidden"; //hide footer

xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet[0].mst2.SubsequentPage.frmFooterBlock_2.txtLine").presence = "hidden"; //hide footer

//set GST number

xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet[0].mst2.SubsequentPage.frmHeader.GSTNumber.GSTNumber") = $record.C_FinInvoiceHeaderFDPType.to_CompanyCode.VATRegistration

xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet[0].mst2.SubsequentPage.frmHeader.GSTNumber.txtCreditMemoTitle") = Concat(Upper(Form.frmHiddenStaticTexts.lblFormTitleCreditMemo.rawValue), " NUMBER" );//credit memo number title

xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet[0].mst2.SubsequentPage.frmHeader.GSTNumber.txtCreditMemoNum") = Form.frmHiddenGlobalFields.txtDocumentID.rawValue; //credit memo doc number

else

//set GST number

xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet[0].mst2.SubsequentPage.frmHeader.GSTNumber.GSTNumber") = $record.C_FinInvoiceHeaderFDPType.to_CompanyCode.VATRegistration

xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet[0].mst2.SubsequentPage.frmHeader.GSTNumber.txtCreditMemoTitle") = Concat(Upper(Form.frmHiddenStaticTexts.lblFormTitle.rawValue), " NUMBER" ); //tax invoice number title

xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet[0].mst2.SubsequentPage.frmHeader.GSTNumber.txtCreditMemoNum") = Form.frmHiddenGlobalFields.txtDocumentID.rawValue; //tax invoice doc number

endif

endif

Problem:

When previewing the PDF, it works great with all fields populating for the first page and the second page. However, after it goes over that second page, it does not populate the SAP standard title, or the other three text fields


 
 

 

 

I know that SAP standard forms, the title carries over no matter how many pages the invoice is, so what is happening here? I can't work it out for love nor money.

I also notice that even though I have the correct master loaded and the correct fragment selected, it's still saying it is "(untitled SubForm) (page 1) and everything greyed out whereas in other forms it shows Landscape_Factsheet instead and some things not greyed out:

 

Any help here would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance

Matt

Hi kautuk,

No the suggestion wasn't helpful at all i'm afraid. I had to work this one out myself.

 

The problem was that it was populating pages 1 and 2 but not any further.

 

I figured seeing as there are multiple pages, there must be some kind of page count and the page information stored in some way.

 

I worked out to get the curent page count and then loop through all the pages and set the information.

 

See snippet below:

 

var pageCount = xfa.layout.pageCount()
 
if (pageCount > 1) then
   
    var pageIndex
    
    for pageIndex = 0 upto (pageCount - 2) do
        xfa.resolveNode(Concat("#pageSet[0].mst2[",pageIndex, "].SubsequentPage.frmHeader.GSTNumber.GSTNumber")) = $record.BillingDocumentNode.TaxationTerms.CompanyVATRegistration
        xfa.resolveNode(Concat("#pageSet[0].mst2[",pageIndex, "].SubsequentPage.frmHeader.GSTNumber.txtCreditMemoTitle")) = Concat(Upper(Form.frmHiddenStaticTexts.lblInvoice.rawValue), " NUMBER")
        xfa.resolveNode(Concat("#pageSet[0].mst2[",pageIndex, "].SubsequentPage.frmHeader.GSTNumber.txtCreditMemoNum")) = Form.frmHiddenGlobalFields.txtDocumentID.rawValue
endfor
endif

HI @rooky79 ,

You can try to have a look at below link:

http://assuredynamics.com/index.php/code-solutions/

 

You can repeat pages of your form the same way as you do with table rows. Both are technically subforms and can be set to have multiple occurences. Those will include all nested elements like fields, images and buttons.

    Thank you Tarun for the suggestion,

    Unfortunately I didn't receive any notification for your reply and I solved the issue last year. The accepted answer in this thread fixed the issue.

     

    Thanks again and take care,
