Hi Deepika,
You could try to add a password to the PDF as follows:
Prerequisites: NW70 SP-13 or higher (include ADS J2EE engine)
Preparation
1. Job profile
first create xml file which has following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<JobProfile>
<Description>
##Password encryption
</Description>
<Protect transform = "add">
<OpenPassword>open</OpenPassword>
<MasterPassword>master</MasterPassword>
</Protect>
</JobProfile>
You can select any name for <OpenPassword> and <MasterPassword>.
Save this xmlfile. And copy it to ADS server
/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/AdobeDocumentServices/JobProfiles/Custom/Print
2. Create Password alias on ADS
Visual Admin -> server -> services -> DocumentServicesConfiguration
-> Password tab
Create 2 alias
   Alias: open   (It should be same as as above XML tag <OpenPassword>)
   password: this password will be used for opening PDF.
   Alias: master (It should be same as as above XML tag
<MasterPassword>)
   password: this password will be used for opening with Acrobat
Professional.
3. Modify print program
When you call sfp runtime, you need to use 'SET_JOB_PROFILE' with job
profile name (created by step1)

Sample ABAP report is available:
FP_TEST_03
Job Profile -> select file which is created by step1. (You can use F4
help)
These are addtional steps to add password encryption for PDF.

Setting a Text field in adobe form non editable

Hi Experts,
I have generated a Adobe form using webdynpro java. I have couple text fields. They are binded with some values which a RFC returns. When I see the output These text fiels values which are populated from backend are editable. Can anyone suggest me how to make these text fields non editable.
Thanks,
Raj

Hi Raj,
You have to set the properties of these text field as readonly.
For this you have to select the text field ... Go to the Object Pallete.
There you will see three Tabs Field, Value and Binding.
You have to click on Value Tab and there you have select the Type as Read Only.
If you do not have Object Pallet open .. go to Menu Bar Window and Click Object
This will solve your problem.

Authorization check for an offline Adobe form

Hi folks,
Quick ques - Is there a way I can validate whether a user has the authorization to enter data on an offline Adobe form ?
The form is going to be generated and sent to users. So when the user is ready is to fill data, there is no connection to SAP.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help!
Rds, Liz

Hi Liz,
Password encrypted forms are not supported by SAP but you can try with other options like putting inputs fields for user and validating them but that would not be an encrypted one.
Password Encrypted Forms are supported from the Adobe LiveCycle ES versions 8.2 and it is a standalone tool and not supported by SAP.
Pl refer to the following links for more information:

please help how to solve .
Thanks,

In transaction SWO1 create a z-object lets say zmyobjpdf (you might want to use it as a sub object of your standard object without delegation since they will probably have the same key).
create a method in that object calling the adobe form.
set it as the default method in the object header.
now create an instance of the zmyobjpdf in the workflow for example as an attribute of the original object) and transfer it to the decision task.
It will be displayed as an attached object pressing it will call the default method - your adobe form.
If your question was about how to create a function module to display the form see SAP Library - PDF-Based Forms

Adobe Form in Modal Window

Hi all,
I am displaying an Adobe Form in a pop up modal window. The display type of the Adobe form is native. However when the popup window shows up, the adobe form is not shown properly.
There is no problem if i set the displayType of the adobe form on the view as ActiveX. However there is a constraint that the displayType should be native.
Has anyone encountered such problem before?

Only in popups, in SP19 forms were displayed in popups in firefox and IE, in SP21 only in IE. I know about this note, but in SP19 everything was working OK, so I think on SP21 should this popup functionality remain :). Or what is the reason to remove this functionality for firefox in SP21?
Many thanks for reply

Domain level security issue with InfoPath Form

I have followed the article “Submitting Data from InfoPath 2007 to a SharePoint List” which can be found at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc162745.aspx.
But instead I am using SharePoint and InfoPath 2010.
I get the following error after deploying and running the form with its security level set to domain.
“A query to retrieve form data cannot be completed because this action would violate cross-domain restrictions. If this form template is published to a SharePoint
document library, cross-domain access for user form templates must be enabled under InfoPath Forms Services in SharePoint Central Administration, and the data connection settings must be stored in a UDC file in a data connection library in the same site collection.
If this is an administrator-approved form template, the security level of the form must be set to full trust, or the data connection settings must be stored in a UDC file by using the Manage data connection files option under InfoPath Forms Services in SharePoint
Central Administration.”
How do I get this form working on the server and client using domain level security?
Extra Note: On an additional not the form works fine in SharePoint and InfoPath designer when the security level is set to Full Trust.

Hi, Is this possible over a SharePoint "LIST"? I'm hitting brick walls and can't set the Security level on my form at all. Everything that I'm reading refers to Document Libraries but nothing about SharePoint List. It seems that this should work over a list,
but I'm hitting brick walls all the way around. Here is a copy of the question that I posed below under Todd.Wilder's post:
Hi,
Following this forum question/comment I am attempting to set the security on my Infopath form to Full Trust. But, I don't have the Security and Trust option. I can set the Trusted Location through the Trust Center but I can't find anywhere to set security.
I am using InfoPath 2010. What am I missing? Everything that I'm reading says that this is the problem and my error message is exactly like SomeGuy's message. One more piece to this is...this is a form over an Existing SharePoint List. I've found that I can
see the Security if I start InfoPath and start a New Blank Form, but by editing the form from a SharePont list, the option to edit Security is not there. HELP!!
I am following the instructions below that come from:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee526352.aspx
The InfoPath form designer automatically selects the appropriate security level (either Restricted or Domain) based on the features that you are using in the form. The security setting is always as restrictive as possible, starting at Restricted, to help
ensure a greater level of protection for you and your data. Users can manually override this automated setting to select a level of security that is more appropriate for the form by following these steps:
Click the File tab, and then click Form Options on theInfo tab.
In the Categories list, click Security and Trust.
Uncheck the Automatically determine security level (recommended) check box.
Select the desired security level.
Thank you,

Adobe Forms - Page Break via a Conditional Break

Having read through the forum I am getting the impression that Page Breaks is a bit of a problem.
I can enforce a page break between datasets by setting "After:" to "Goto Next Page", on the Object->Pagination tab, however this results in a blank page at the end of the entire output which is just the Master Page with all the static elements.
The 'Conditional Breaks' sounds like the logical point to force a page break based on a combination of inequality or if a particular data element equals a known value.
However, I don't seem to be able to get the 'Conditional Break' to work.
So, the question I would like to ask, is how can you tell if the conditional break logic is correct and whether or not it is running? For example on an ABAP system is it possible to run it and debug it?
My attempts at getting the break to open a pop up or write to disk via JavaScript fails, which is leading me to think they are being ignored by the Adobe Form at both the server and client level.
Is it possible that I have missed another setting somewhere else in the Adobe form configuration?

Hello Jason!
You are right that conditions (and all scripting) are bit tricky in this solution. Still they work.
Debugging of AIF at ABAP side is not possible due to the architecture of the solution - from the ABAP POV it is just a web-service call and receiving result (PDF) back. You can't stop it on midpoint or intercept it somehow.
At the same time there are other ways to check it.
First, you can enable trace and saving additional info in SFP transaction under Utilities -> Settings.
Details see [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/f7/a04aee0cb94978a011401311efe603/frameset.htm]
And the nice way to check if your condition block is taken into the account is simple check like 1 = 2.
If this works and you receive page break than all you need is find errors in your condition syntax, otherwise the problem is somewhere else.

Petr Perstnev

Select alternate tray when printing Adobe form from an ABAP prograram

I had a Smart Form where I printed to an alternate tray for 4 by 7 paper stock. I need to know how to do this in Adobe when printing a from from an ABAP program. I have printer types ZLX4039, HPLJ4 and HPLJ5SI to which I need to print my form to an alternate 4 by 7 tray.
Does anyone know how to set it up in the Adobe form and what I need to do in SPAD to handle it?

Adobe Acrobat 7: Can not insert pages, changing the document: Not Allowed, but Security Method set t

In Adobe 7, I need to add some pdf pages to the end of a document, but the insert pages (as well as all other items under Document> are greyed out.
On the document properties\ Security> the document restrictions summary says "Changing the Document: Not Allowed", but the Security Method in the drop down above is set to "No Security"
Thanks!

If there are form fields, then whoever added them probably used the forms menu, not the Acrobat form fields. Thus the PDF was converted to Designer and you are out of luck. The FORMS button found in various places in Acrobat 7 and latter takes you to Designer, not the Acrobat form tools. The latter are located in the tools menu.

Set Content Copying: Not allowed in Adobe forms

We have developed an adobe form, non interactive form, which has scanned signatures, incorporated as images, of authorized personnel.
But we found that these signatures (images) can be copied by standard copy (Ctr+c).
After a brief study we could find out that we need to set the Content Copying as Not allowed, in document properties, as one of the possible solution, but we are unable to do so.
Could you please suggest a way out as to how do we set Content Copying: Not allowed, in the document properties, of the PDF document.

Thank you for your view.
The XML equivalent of the Adobe form, designed, has a tag <PDF security> which has "copy content" set as 1. The possible solution to my problem is to set the copy content to zero or a value which deactivates the copy content. But even though we set the value to zero, the moment we activate the form it reset itself to 1. Could you please elaborate on this one?

Impossible to set my adobe forms as enable in WD4A

Hi all,
I define an adobe forms which can be used in off-line scenario ( by e-mail ) and on-line by WD4A.
By e-mail there's no problem my forms is enabled and user can modify the content.

Does anybody can help me ?
My forms is a ZCI one , i work on ECC 6.0 SP 14 on Abap Stack and SP12 on Java Stack .

I'll debug my WD4A application, and in class CL_WD_ADOBE_SERVICES method DETERMINE_DOCPARAM codes forbidden to use Adobe forms as interactive in WD4A if it's based on SAP DDIC ...Somebody can tell me why ?
Edited by: Bertrand DESSERTENNE on Sep 9, 2008 5:19 PM
Hi all,
I'm still working on this problem , after lot of time spend on this i'm able to display my forms as interactive in a WD4A without using an XML Based interface .
Now i got another problem, in standard class CL_WD_ADOBE_SERVICES method Update_pdf is call and in the code i do'nt understand this test :
* do additional things for the DDIC interface type
if m_interface_type = if_fp_interface=>c_interface_type_new and
     i_fillable = abap_true.
*   possibly, the data xml needs to be resend to the ADS
*   three cases:
*   (1) there are child nodes => fixed for print forms, no reason for them
*   (2) there are dropdowns
*   (3) needs to be sent anyway due to hide_toolbar
*   first, lets find out if there are dropdowns
*   <todo> cache this information!
*   update the data as necessary
    lr_data_source_info = i_data_source->get_node_info( ).
    if execute_ads_call = abap_true or
       lr_data_source_info->get_child_nodes( ) is not initial or
       "vhlist_xml <> '<sap-vhlist></sap-vhlist>'.
       1 = 1.
Can somebody tell me why there is the test 1=1 .....
With this test i lost all my data on the form , if in debug i make the result of this test false everything is ok on my form.
Best regards

I succes to pass value from my WD4A to the form while using "Supply Function". Unfortunately all dynamic text define in the context of the form and all code define in the initialization part of the interface doesn't work ...so i need to transform my form into a XML one's .
Unfortunately SAP doesn't provide any support on this problem because it's not a XML interface .....

I have also individual attributes in the context which are read correctly.Only get_static_attribute_table doesn't read the table content.Please could any one help me where would be the problem.
Thank you

Hi peter,
If you are trying to add data to a standard SAP table then you should use a FM or BAPI for that but if the table is not standard then you can use following steps but it would be better to do it using FM or BAPI.
Do the following(without FM/BAPI):
1. Crate a context in your view mapped to the fields of the database table.
2. Now use this context as the data source for the form.
3. Map the fields of the form with the attributes of the context.
4. Now create a button on the form or on your view which has a action event handler method.
5. In the method use code wizard to read the context attached to adobe form. By default it will create a structure containing data, which will be sufficient for adding one record at a time.
6. Now use this structure to add data to table using SQL queries.
Do the following for FM/BAPI integration:
1. Create a FM/BAPI which has the functionality to add data to your SAP table.
2. Now use service call to add the FM/BAPI fields as a context to your web dynpro component's context.
3. Now map it with the view where the adobe form is created.
4. Follow steps 2nd, 3rd and 4th as above.
5. Now in your Action method use code wizard to call the method created by service call to FM/BAPI.
This will work as required.
Please reward points if useful.
