Interactive Adobe form for performance appraisal

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to create Interactive Adobe Form for Performance appraisal? I understand that the appraisal template varies company to company.Does it affect the Form? Can we update the infotype 0025 ( Appraisals where appraisee /Appraisals where appraiser tab) ? Please advice on this.

Hi,
We had the same question sometime back. This is what we found
1. Users will not finish Performance Apprisal document in one session, they will complete partially and then comback another day to complete it.
2. IT25 is not like normal infotype, it might be challenging to update it with BAPI/RFCs.
These two issues stopped us from doing Adobe interactive forms (PCR like) for Performance apprisal.

Interactive Adobe Form and Search Helps

Does anyone know how to implement a Search Help in an Interactive Adobe Form? I have a requirement to fill a field with a manager and I have 17500 of them to choose from! Tried a Dropdown list, but it is not really appropriate, unless theres a way of entering a wildcard in the input field and using it to limit the dropdown list.
I am implementing the Transfer Request PCR SPTR in MSS 60.1, this PCR Adobe form is not delivered by SAP and I need to develop it.
Many thanks ... Andy

How to use SAP Business Workflow along with Interactive Adobe Form

Hi Experts,
I am working on SAP Business Workflow since last couple of years.
Now i have got a new Project where client wants to use SAP Business Workflow along with Interactive Adobe Form.
I am new to Interactive Adobe Form and Portal thing and i really dont know from where to start.
We have one central system and 2 local systems. when we do create a Material document using adobe form workflow should trigger and notification should go to group of users who can approve or reject it, once they approve it document gets created in central system and replicated to 2 local system through ALE.
In the Local system they do extend the document to different plants, again workflow triggers and notification will go to Managers inbox for the approval.
Once the final approval done data should go and store in SAP.
Now here i have couple of Questions.
1. In SAP R3 Business workflow when i execute the workitem from the inbox i do get the application screen ( i.e. MM01 MRP View ) , what is going to happen if the same case i have with Adobe form?? is it possible or do we have to design a adobe form and we will have to map the fields with backend application??
2. Do i have to maintained 3 separate Org Structure for 3 different system or using UWL i can manage the show
3. Untill final submit is not done, where the application data is going to be, is there any kind of buffer that we will have to keep it or its there with XML file??
Please help me out.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
Welcome to ADOBE Forms related Workflow Development. Well, here are my answers.
1) You can go for either go for ISR based development or WD development with Adobe form. In both the cases you can achieve your requirement. Yes, you will have to design the Adobe form and bind the fields to backend.
2) Am not clear or your System landscape to advice you in these regards.
3) Until final Submit/Approval is done, the data can be stored in WORKFLOW CONTAINERS or XML FORM(If you go for ISR based Development).
Hope this helps.

Contradiction form error in non interactive adobe forms.

HI All,
I am woriking on a non interactive adobe forms generation program in ABAP.
The program uses a variant and generate pdf forms for all the list items on the varient.
Note: I am not using Webdynpro its the normal pdf generation.
The problem I am facing is that when the varient has a list of more records at some point of time it generates the contradiction form error and terminates. if I alter the varient so that the list is minimal then there is no problem with that.
I know that the Contradiction form error occurs when the pdf generation is open and there is another request to open a new form before closing the previous call. but when the varient has minimal data there is no problem with that, my assumption here is the data volume or such which causes the problem.
Does somebody came accross such an issue earlier or if you have a solution approach please do share it with me.
Thanks in Advance.
Sai Krishna.

Save interactive adobe form in presentation server through report program

          in display mode that to in presentation server with input values provided by the user.
         could any help to achieve this or guide me if i am moving in a wrong path.
Thank you,

It all depends on what you want to do.
If you are planning on users to fill out on-line form only and submit to SAP, it is pretty easy to do (that is once you understand how to create web dynpro and interactive form).
You can also have users fill a form offline and upload to online and save it to SAP.
You do need to know little bit about coding (ABAP or JAVA),
but can be done w/ very minimum coding.
If you are planning on doing in Web Dynpro ABAP,
go to SE 80 and select WebDynpro and create form.
To save data/form to SAP, you probably want to use BAPI or Function module already available so that you don't have to do much coding to save data.
See some of these links for helpful tutorials. Thomas Jung has several good tutorials, but none of them probably have all the information you need... you just have to pick some from here and some from other places... If you have specific question, I will be happy to guide you...

Interactive Forms based on Adobe software is SAP's new solution for forms development. Its first release has the focus on interactive use of forms. High-volume printing is supported in principle, but - being a new solution - the performance has not yet reached the same level as Smart Forms or SAPscript, two established solutions that had years to grow. Interactive Forms is the only solution that will continue to be enhanced with new features, while SAPscript and Smart Forms will be supported without limitations.
When (or if) to move to Interactive Forms depends on your requirements. For interactive forms usage, i.e. the new functions, you have no choice, as the existing solutions don't support it. High-volume print scenarios need to be carefully analyzed to see whether your concrete requirements can be met at this point.
However, it is possible to move to Smart Forms and design your forms in such a way that a migration at any point in the future would be but a small step. Smart Forms offers from Web AS 6.40 a migration wizard to Interactive Forms. Technically, everything can be migrated, but we recommend against things like ABAP program nodes, for example.
You are not forced to ever go to Interactive Forms if you don't want to. It really depends on whether your client needs any of the new features in Interactive Forms. Also, if they are currently working with JetForms, they could enquire with Adobe directly what migration path they offer to the joint solution.

example
To get an overview idea about Adobe forms ,
Using SFP Tcode , first you need to create a interface . in interface you can declare the import and export parameters and also the declaration part, coding etc : This is nothing but similar to Function module interface.
And now we have to create the Form which is interactive. Create the form and enter the interface name which you have created in first step, so that the parameters , declarations of fields etc : will be copied and available in the form layout. So that you can drag and drop these declared fields ( dclared fields of interface ) to the layout.
Create the context and layout in the form.
The layout generated can be previewed and saved as PDF output.
Now we need to integrate the driver program and the PDF form to get the final output as per the requirement.
On activating and executing the form you will get a function module name just similar to smartforms.
The driver program needs to call this FM.
Refer to the below sample code :
DATA : is_customer TYPE scustom.
DATA : it_bookings TYPE ty_bookings.
DATA : iv_image_url TYPE string.
DATA : iv_sending_country TYPE adrc-country.
DATA : it_sums TYPE TABLE OF flprice_t.

NewLine Character in the String received from Interactive Adobe Form

Hello Experts,
Following is the issue we have with interactive Adobe Form
We have a text area within the form. User enters the text in multiple lines in this text area.
We are calling a backend function module designed in SE37 that accepts and process the data from the adobe form. We are also processing the string data user enters in the text area.
When we receive the string from the form, the newline character within the string is displayed as '#' in the debugger. We tried splitting this string using cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline and cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf but NO luck. Though in the debugger we see cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline as '#' in the debugger and also '#' is present within the string, for some reason when string is processed to find cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline, we can find/locate it.
Because ABAP code is not able to identify the newline character within the string received from Adobe form, we are not able to maintain the formatting of the string as it was entered in the form.
Any help to resolve this issue is appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Bhushan

Hi Bhushan,
I was going through your issue, and I feel this is something you can do with scripting. Basically you should read whole string and find the new line character and replace with a space or comma, as per your requirment.
Do like following:
In the exit event of the field select java script and write following code:
var strng = this.rawValue;
strng.replace(/\n/g, " ");
above im reaplcing new line with a space.
I think it should work I have not tested it. Pls update if you test it .

Ravi.D
