Add Translation of INteractive form in Guided Procedures

Hi.
I have created an interactive Form with Adobe Lifecycle Designer. I use the Form in Guided Procedures. You can add translation files of the form there. But what is a Translation file and how can i produce it?
Thanks a lot. Regards,
Dominik

I found this in the SAP documenation hope this will hel you a bit.
If you would like to translate ABAP dictionary objects i know the translation will be automaticly done by the System. This will work due to the system variable SY-LANGU.

Security for Offline Interactive Form in Guided Procedure

Hi,
I have a senario that require a form to be able to downloaded as an offline form from Guided Procedure with security mechanism. I know that Adobe interactive form able to contain scripting like FormCalc and Javascript.
I was thinking whether is it possible to get the initiator & approver information like User ID and Password and assign it to the variable in the form using javascript, so that only the authorise personnel able to login to the form whereas the unauthorise personnel who have the form but unable to login and edit the form. Please advice. Thanks
Best Regards,
Rayden

Hi,
I also have a similar issue where i have to validate whether the user submitting the offline form is an user who has authorisation ( a table storing user credentails) .
Were you able to solve this issue of security in offline form.
Appreciate if you can throw some light.

Online Adobe forms in Guided Procedures

Calling SAP GP experts,
Has anyone been able to successfully implement online Adobe forms in a Guided procedures. If yes, can you share tricks involved..
The objective is to throw open an online Adobe form to the user to fill in.. The Adobe form will have pre-filled data (from previous Actions in the GP) and there will be the Approval process step after the form is filled...
Cheers
Nitesh

Dear Alan,
Yes i have generated the form's submit URL... It works fine when the pdf is saved in the users desktop and upon clicking the submit button it kicks of a Process with a Visual Approval callable object..
However my requirement is that the Adobe form be submitted online during GP runtime.. The process is initiated by the User in the portal (not offline) who wants to put in a request. When the user initiates a process an Adobe form is opened to him in which he fills in his request. This request is then forwarded for Approval.. After Approval a digital signature need to be attached to the document and further on it needs to be sent out to other User Groups.. In case the request is rejected then the control goes back to the requestor who can either modify his request and send it again for approval or simply delete the request.. Throughout the whole process Print of the request can be taken at any time. Considering the requirements of Print & Digital signature i think using Adobe would be the way to go.. What do you think about implementing such a requirement in GP with Adobe UIs? Is it the right way of going about it?
Quite an interesting nut to crack.. Ain't it ??

Adobe Forms in Guided Procedures

Hi all,
I have the 'My First Days' Guided Procedure assinged to a user and am trying to customize it for a demo. I am trying to display an adobe form in a separate section in the My First Days Procedure and so far have been able to configure the action and block in order to display the adobe form.
When i try to add the Adobe form as a 'Interactive form' type, it gives me an error saying 'Could not retrieve template fields: Wrong document format or adapter mismatch.'
I have checked the adobe configuration and it seems to be working fine. Can anyone tell me why i get this error and what is the best way to resolve this issue?
Also, if Adobe forms work fine for manager self service in our systems, should they work fine in the Guided Procedures too ?
Thanks,
Bhushan.

Guided Procedures and online interactive adobe forms.

Hi Experts,
Scenario : User have to log into GP runtime, When he clicks the first action it should display the adobe form. He has to fill the details and submit the form. This form is routed for Approver 1 for review. The first approver will log into portal,view it (UWL),approve it and sent for second approver.The same process happens with the second approver.After both approvals, a BAPI updates the data in the interactive form in R/3
All the process have to be done in Guided Procedures, then integrated with Portal at the end.
We have tried creating an Wdynpro Java app with online adobe form and executed successfuly in NWDS and also in Webdynpro content administrator.
issue:-
When we create a callable object(webdynpro app(gp interface CO)) in GP and test, we were unable to view the form.
Now our question is : what are we mising ?
Is it possible to integrate online interactive adobe form with guided procedures?
Is our approach to solve the scenario right?
any links or tutorials will be greatly appreciated
TIA,

Form with HTTP Submit.. Do I need a Guided Procedure ? How to Configure it?

Hi masters.
I have a adobe interactive form with HTTP submit, it works when it runs online, but when I save the pdf file, open, fill and submit, the server does not recieve any request.
I have read a lot of tutoriais but I still haven´t find a specific tutorial from the begin to the end of this process.
Should I create a Guided Procedure to recieve this form from http submit ? How can I create it ?

Regardless of whether this bar is displayed or not, you should be able to access what is in the "Favourites" folder in a few ways.
Firstly via the Bookmarks link in Safari. This is the first icon directly to the right of the address bar. Pressing this will open your Bookmarks menu. If you see the word Bookmarks in blue select this and it will take you to the main bookmarks page, and the word Bookmarks will appear in black bold text. If you see Bookmarks in black bold text when first clicking Bookmarks you are where you need to be. The first link on here will be Favourites and have a star icon right next to it, click on Favourites and you will see what has been added to your Favourites folder - if anything. Also there is an Edit button in the bottom right of this screen, if you aren't going where you expected when selecting a URL in here press Edit, press the > arrow to the right of the favourite name, is the URL correct? If not change it, and click DONE on the keyboard - appears where Return key normally shows on the right-hand side.
If you are opening Safari and have no tabs already open or have already closed pages so none are open you will see icons that represent the contents of your Favourites folder displayed at the top of the page.
Also with a page loaded if you click in to the URL field then you will see these icons appear again, together with the keyboard at the bottom of the page.
Hope this helps.

MDO Forms workflow in Guided Procedures...

Hi,
Could someone please tell me what does "MDO Forms workflow in Guided Procedures" means?
I know about Guided Procedures.But my functional specification says to implement "MDO Forms workflow in Guided Procedures".Could someone please help me out with this?
Thanks in advance,
Agasthi.

Dear Alan,
Yes i have generated the form's submit URL... It works fine when the pdf is saved in the users desktop and upon clicking the submit button it kicks of a Process with a Visual Approval callable object..
However my requirement is that the Adobe form be submitted online during GP runtime.. The process is initiated by the User in the portal (not offline) who wants to put in a request. When the user initiates a process an Adobe form is opened to him in which he fills in his request. This request is then forwarded for Approval.. After Approval a digital signature need to be attached to the document and further on it needs to be sent out to other User Groups.. In case the request is rejected then the control goes back to the requestor who can either modify his request and send it again for approval or simply delete the request.. Throughout the whole process Print of the request can be taken at any time. Considering the requirements of Print & Digital signature i think using Adobe would be the way to go.. What do you think about implementing such a requirement in GP with Adobe UIs? Is it the right way of going about it?
Quite an interesting nut to crack.. Ain't it ??

Interactive form, guided procedure and R3 system

Hi experts,
I am working on a project where i am required to create a interactive form (pdf) using SAP NetWeaver. The user is allow to fill up their form before they finally call the SAP guided procedure upon hitting the submit button.
I have go through some tutorial on guided procedure to perform process control.
However, the problem now is, after the guided procedure had completed all the different stages of approval, i need it to send the pdf form to the SAP R3 system and insert data to the database.
So far, i have created an interactive form.
I need to acquire knowledge on how i could allow the guided procedure to interface with the r3 system after the form is approved.
Very much appreciated if someone can help me in this area.

Send form with dynamic fields to guided procedure

Hi all,
i am just wondering if GP is able to map fields from the interactive form that is dynamic.
for example, the request invoice form sometimes may contain more than one records. however, with my limited knowledge on GP, i believed mapping can only be done from ONE input parameter to ONE output parameter?
pls kindly advise..

Hi Ashutosh,
Yeah i have context attribute of type byte which has the image source but the problem is when i am trying to pass (as given in the above metioned blog) the image source from Web Dynpro to Guided procedure (which has Web Dynrpo DC as CO), i was not able to find any image in Guided procedure. So is there any way to make it possible?
I cant hav attribute as String since i use an Upload UI element to upload the pdf from local machine. Only if i have the context attribute as byte the image is visible in the form once the Pdf if upload from local machine
i follow this blog for my Web Dynpro DC as CO in Guided procedure
The specified item was not found.
Thanks
Gopal.

Default email subject for Adobe Form from Netweaver Guided Procedure

Hi everyone.
When we generate an Adobe form from a Netweaver Guided Procedure, a default subject of "Interactive Form {xxxxxxxx}" is used where xxxxxxxx is the Process ID of the Guided Procedure. Is this default subject configurable? Where can I change it?
If we define a custom email template for the form, the subject of the email becomes our custom subject concatenated with the Process ID. Where is it defined that the Process ID must be included in the email subject?
Thanks,
.. Craig

Hello,
I have no experience regarding the table of pictures, but you could try a workaround if you don´t insist of displaying the images. You could attach the pictures as attachments (you know, the little attachments icon on the left in your Reader). The ABAP coding for this can be found in SE38 FP_* and when you check the descriptions you should be able to find the one working with the attachments.
Would be better than nothing I guess,
Otto
