Limitations of Include Texts in Adobe Forms:

• If the values of the Text Symbols are coming into the Form in an internal table then we
would not be able to use the Include text, as in Adobe Forms between the internal table
name and the field names a DATA node is inserted due to the XML naming conventions
and this DATA node is the one that creates the problem. Even though we have the table
name and the field names same as in the Standard text, the error would be that the field
is not found.
• The Text Symbols values must be coming from the Interface. If we are using Script
(Formcalc or JavaScript) and filling the Field values, then those values would not be
passed to the standard text, even though we have the calculated value in the Field and
be able to print it.
