Hello SAP Community,
I am attempting to dynamically append Rich Text to text fields in an Adobe Interactive Form. This includes, lists such as bullets and numbering, as well as headings.
I have attempted several different methods in making this occur, but I have had little success.
The closest method to success is to convert HTML to ExData using the Javascript code provided below.
| HTML to ExData |
|---|
//XML String to wrap the HTML var envel = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><exData contentType="text/html" xmlns="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.8/"><body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/" xfa:APIVersion="Acroform:2.7.0.0" xfa:spec="2.1"><p>PLACEHOLDER</p></body></exData>'; //Current HTML Data var htmldata = this.rawValue;
// insert into envelope var newStr = envel.replace("PLACEHOLDER",htmldata); //Load the final XML this.value.exData.loadXML(newStr, 1, 1); |
As a further note, Conversion must occur if exporting from an SAP WebDynPro.
- The WebDynPro will export using the <strong></strong> tags instead of <b></b> for bold.
- This can be fixed by using a `replace all occurrences of` statement.
Notes:
- Each Text field's field format: 'Rich Text.'
- The code provided above will allow the html bold tag (<b></b>) and italics tags (<i></i>) to work, but not the bullet code like (<ul><li></li></ul>)
- It is possible to have a bullet visibly appear on the adobe form designer through modifying the XML Source, but it will not appear on the exported PDF.
- The Adobe Document Server's Version Information: 802.20080813094752.488190
Any Help would be greatly appreciated, I will reply back with any information that may help.
Thanks,
