Problem in opening layout editor in adobe forms

Hi,
There is a problem in opening the layout editor in adobe forms(T.code SFP).
Eventhough I have installed Adobe livecycle designer 8.0 and adobe acrobat reader 9.0.
It is showing the error as " The forms design tool for developing the form layout could not be started; either it is not installed or there are errors in the installation".
Suggest Me.
Moderator message: please have a look in the dedicated forum for Adobe forms.

Error in layout section of adobe forms

Hi All,
I am getting the following error while i try to open the layout section in adobe forms.
"Error while opening document".
I reinstalled the adobe livecycle designer and also installed the new version of adobe i.e. adobe 9/9.1 and restarted my system but still the problem exists.
Can anybody help me out solve the problem at the earliest.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Soumya

Hi Somya,
My problem gets resolved. What I done is simply restart the computer!! The Form Template task was hanged (even in task manager it was showing running). Once it gets killed, my layout editor is running again.
If still your problem persist, you set the priority of u2018FormDE~1.exeu2019 to highest. Close all other applications on your PC while trying to start Layout editor.
What I understood is, layout editor required lot of memory and hence we can try this above options!!
Hope this will help you.

Communication problem between Adobe Form and WebDynpro

Hi all,
I have the following problem and am thankful for any help I can get from you in order to solve it:
I created an Adobe Form in WebDynpro. In both the WebDynpro as well as in the Adobe Form, I created a Submit Button (which I binded to the same method) as well as a text field (which I binded to the same context attribute). When I do changes in WebDynpro, everything works fine and the changes are displayed in the Adobe Form as well.
But when I do changes in the Adobe Form, these changes are not submitted. Also the Submit button in the Adobe Form is not working.
I send the project to a colleague and she could deploy and run my project without any problems. So I think it is a problem with my settings or installation. I already did a reinstallation of the NW Developer Studio as well as the Adobe Lifecycle Designer. But it did not help.
Did anyone have a similar problem or has a suggestions what else I could do?
Thanks in advance,
Thorsten

Hi Thorsten,
If the submit button doesn't do anything, it usually means there's something wrong with your client software.
Are you using NW04s or NW04? NW04 only supports ACF (Active Component Framework) forms, whereas NW04s also supports ZCI (Zero Client Installation) forms (there're different Submit buttons in Adobe LiveCycle Designer). Reader 7.0.9 should definitely work in all cases, but Reader 8.0 (and Reader 8.1, released yesterday) doesn't work properly with ACF forms (there's an SAP note on this subject).
To use ZCI forms, all you need is Adobe Reader at client side. To use ACF forms, you also need some other client software: either (the correct version!) SAP Active Component Framework (stand alone software that you can download from SAP Marketplace; it's part of some SAP note; search for xACF and select the correct version of the note). A better option is not to install xACF manually (uninstall it if present, using Control Panel > Add/Remove programs), but to use the ActiveX control instead (reinstall it in your case because of the problem you have). First kill the AcroRd32.exe process, if it is running. Then go to "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files" and delete the file AdobeControl(s) (NW04) or AcfControls (something similar; NW04s) if present. Then access your form in your Web Dynpro application using IE (Firefox doesn't support ActiveX; the only option is to use ZCI forms with non-IE browsers). If all goes well, prior to displaying the form, IE should ask to install an ActiveX control (it will only be asked if you have sufficient privileges, that is belong to the local Administrators group).
Kind regards,
Sigiswald

Problem in Adobe Form Execution

Hi,
I am getting an error "ADS: SOAP Runtime Exception: CSoapExceptioFault: SOAP(100102)" while executing Adobe Form.
It seems the ADS configuratoin is not correct. Can some help me out in fixing this issue.

Hi Sathish,
To check the Present configuration do the following:
1.1 Checking by Executing Test Report FP_TEST_00
Use
This test report checks if your system is configured correctly for processing forms in an ABAP environment.
Procedure
   1. Log on to your SAP Net Weaver AS ABAP.
   2. Call transaction SA38 and enter the name FP_TEST_00.
   3. Choose Execute (F8). A dialog box is displayed.
   4. Enter FP_TEST_00 in the field Form.
       This is displayed as the default form name.
   5. Enter the name of the connection to the ADS. Enter the default name ADS, or, if you have               specified another name, the one you are using in your system.
   6. In the dialog box, choose Output in Print Preview.
   7. Enter an appropriate device type in the field Output Device.
   8. Choose Print Preview.
On successful execution of the report, you find the Print Preview of the PDF form.
If the Configuration is not correcr no form is displayed.
The following steps are only necessary, if the result of the above test was not successful.
    2. Check the ABAP Connection
    3. Check the User and Password
    4. Check the Destination Service
1.2 Checking the ABAP Connection
Use
This is a test for checking the RFC destination. This test applies to both connections using Basic Authentication and SSL connections.
Procedure
1. Log on to your SAP system.
2. Call transaction SE38.
3. Enter the name of the test report FP_PDF_TEST_OO.
4. Enter the name of the connection. Enter the default name ADS, or, if you have specified another name, the one you are using in your system.
5. Choose Execute (F8).
Result
If the configuration is correct, the system displays the version number of the Adobe document services.
If the configuration is not correct, the system displays a corresponding message.
or
Go to the following link to download the complete ADS configuration guide:

Problem with adobe forms multiple pages

Hi
can someone help me how to get multiple pages in adobe forms in case the item lines exceeds the page capacity?
Thanks

It should not be much of a problem. Here is a detailed solution to your problem:
In your context , create a node MasterNode of cardinality 1...1 and singleton set to true. Bind this to the dataSource property of the InteractiveFormElement.
Inside this MasterNode create a node Data of cardinality 0...n and singleton set to false. Keep all of your payslip attributes inside this node.
In your interactive form element , in the Body Page create a subform of Type Flow Content and Flow Direction Table .Check the chechbox for Allow Page Breaks within Context . Inside this subform create another subform of Type Flow Content and Flow Direction Western Text . Uncheck the checkbox for Allow Page Breaks within Context . Put all of your pay slip UI elements inside this subform and bind them with the attributes under the node Data. Also tick the property of the inner subform under the section Object->Subform that says Repeat Subform for each Data Item
In your view controller coding area , create an element of the node Data for each employee record and populate it with values for the particular employee .
Add all of the elements that you created into an ArrayList and bind this ArrayList to the node Data. Now your form is ready for n number of employees.
Put this sort of coding in your view controller coding:
IDataElement objData = null;
ArrayList arlData = null;
int intNumberOfEmployees=0;
try
        arlData = new ArrayList();
        intNumberOfEmployees = //Get size of your model node that returns employee info
        if(intNumberOfEmployees>0)
                for(int i=0;i<intNumberOfEmployees;i++)
                        objData = wdContext.createDataElement();
                        objData.setName("//Value fetched from backend here");//Eg:wdContext.nodeEmployeeInfo.getEmployeeInfoElementAt(i).getname()
                        //Similarly set all of the values
                        arlData.add(objData);
        wdContext.nodeData.bind(arlData);
Hope this helps you...

Blank Space problem in Adobe Form

Hello Gurus,
In my Adobe form, One field has to be displayed based on a condition. So, for that field, in Context tab, condition is specified and its working also i.e. It condition is true then data is not displayed in the layout but I find the blank space for it. I dont want that blank space to be displayed.
Example:
In layout, address is in format as shown below.
Name
Street
City
Region
Postal code
Country
Here, I have a condition that, Region field should not be displayed only for Material eq '123' i.e. same address has to be printed as shown below.
Name
Street
City
Postal code
Country
But, If I give condition then address is shown as below.
Name
Street
City
>Here, am getting empty space & I dont need this blank space to there in the layout.
Postal code
Country
So, Can anyone please help me for this.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Usha

Hi Usha,
1. Remove the Condition from you Context tab.
2. In the Driver Program check for the condition and fill the value in the internal table which is passed to
the adobe form.
3. Make the subform (under which the field is added in the hierarchy view) as flowed.
4. In the script editor, Select the 'javascript' and write the script to hide the form field specifying the condition here.
for e.g
if (xfa.form.FORM.SUB_FORM.matnr == "123") {
xfa.form.FORM.SUB_FORM.Region = "hidden";
NOTE: Javascript is Case sensitive and stops working immediately after the line of code where an error occurs.
Hope this proves to be useful.
Thanks,
Swar.

Components/Software Installation Problem for Adobe Form

Hi all,
I am new to developing Adobe forms. I only experience in smartforms on SAP R/3 environment.
To start doing Adobe form, I have installed Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES (Is it correct?), .net Framework 2.0, SAP GUI 7.1. I already have Adobe Reader 7.0 on my desktop.
However, when i created a form in Tcode SFP, I couldn't open the layout, prompted me error and forced to exit.
Then I configured Adobe Document Services for Adobe Reader 7.0 but in vain. Actually i am not sure how to get Adobe document services and not sure whether really need it.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
All SAPWIN-type device types cannot be supported with the Adobe technology alone. See also the new development PPDFPRINT 7.20 in Note 1444342.
You can print PDF-based forms on all printers installed in the SAP system as long as the relevant XDC file (printer definition in XML format) exists. SAP delivers XDC files for the following SAP standard device types:
- POST2 - PostScript
- HPLJ4 - PCL black and white
- HP9500 - PCL color
- PDF1 - PDF
- AZPL203 - ZPL (Zebra label printing)
- AZPL300 - ZPL (Zebra label printing)
You can modify XDC files yourself within a limited scope. Documentation about this is available on SAP Service Marketplace at
http://sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/adobe-> SAP Interactive Forms - Configuration Guides
These XDC files must be saved at runtime on the host that also contains the Adobe Document Services. The exact path
usrsap<SID>SYSglobalAdobeDocumentServiceslib.
In addition to the XDC file, an entry must also exist in the TSP0B table on the SAP system. This entry assigns an SAP device type to an XDC file. Only if the assignment entry exists, you can print PDF-based forms on the printers with the relevant device type. You can maintain the TSP0B table with the RSPO0022 report. Refer to the online documentation for information
about how to use the report.Important: You cannot change the XDC files delivered by SAP or the TSP0B entries. If a change is required nevertheless, you should first create a copy of the relevant device type with another name in transaction SPAD.
Then create a copy of the XDC file with a different name and make the relevant changes. The new XDC file must be copied to the directory mentioned above on the server that contains the Adobe Document Services.

Problem in Adobe forms

Hi experts
I am trying the tutorial on SDN - 'How to Execute an RFC Model with Input from Interactive Forms'. When I click on submit on the adobe form and the plug is fired using,
wdThis.wdFirePlugOutToFlightDetail();
the browser closes without any error message.
How can I know what is the cause or where am I going wrong.
Regards
Abdullah

Hi,
Where did u call the Interativeform in the firstview or second view.
Generallay what happend here is After executing the function module you are calling the second view that displays second view with pdf.
check with your second view plug-ins once again?
Otherwise call your pdf into your first view and try?
Before this u said worked and PDF was displayed.
try in initial View then try to go second view.
thanks,
