Use of ADOBE form with SAP workflow for R/3 4.6C

Hi All,
We are thinking of usage of ADOBE form feature as one of options to design workflow for creation and maintenance of Info record like Material Master creation. BTW the existing systems are EP 7.0 with the back end SAP ERP system 4.6 C
We would like to just check the feasibility of usage of ADOBE interactive form for above scenario. Would it be possible to go ahead with the above concept or what would be pre-requisites or risks involved?
1. How would system identify the role to direct the Adobe form for approval in case the form is raised by multi department?
2. How can the data validations in ADOBE form happen with reference to SAP std. tables?
An early reply would be appreciated.
Rgds,

Hi,
If you use EP 70 you can used guided procedure for your requirement .

Adobe Forms - WDJava - SAP Workflow

Hi experts.
I had a question regarding on workflow.
We have an interactive form inside a wd java application, once the form is submitted its passed on as an attachment to an SAP business workflow. Inside the workflow we need to extract the data from this form and pass this data to an SAP transaction.
Any standard way to do this?. Please suggest any pointers.
Thanks
Lisha

Hi
You can use GET_PARAMETER to get those values from the form and store it in workflow container elemtn.
then you can use SET_Parameter to set those values to sap transaction.

How to use Adobe forms with F150 Dunning Run

Hi,
I want to use Adobe forms with the transaction F150 Dunning Run.
How do I get the adobe form in customizing? I have put the FM 'FI_PRINT_DUNNING_NOTICE_PDF' in business transaction Event, BF31 - P/S modules of SAP app - 00001720, Fi-FI. But it is still not recognizing the ADOBE form.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am also working for calling custom adobe form instead of sapscript.
While configuring BTE 1720, i noticed that configuring BTE only FI-FI application does not solve the purpose. You need to assign function module FI_PRINT_DUNNING_NOTICE_PDF for all Application Area Indicator.
Adding to IS-PS will allow to print for customer.
This solved my problem. But this setting is global so you need to take care of it.

Adobe Form with XML interface cannot retrieve all data from SAP

hi all
I want to use the Adobe forms for the real estate module.
I had seen that adobe forms can have an interface with XML input and output as parameter.
In the interface type only the /DOCPARAMS an the DOCXML are INPUT parameters which are available.
No other INPUT parameter can be added to it.
When i try to retrieve the data in real estate there are some default function modules for retrieving the data from real estate.
But this function modules also are going to find out if the form which asks for this information has a IMPORT parameter
for the required data. For example, the SENDER data is retrieved, but before the default function module retrieve this data
the function module checks if the form has a INPUT parameter SENDER.
And that is not the case. And i cannot create the SENDER parameter to it, because this INTERFACE type does not allow it.
Does anybody know a solution herefore?
kind regards,
Anton Pierhagen

Hi Bhaskar
It is a long time ago, almost 2 years.
I created my own custom development for calling the Adobe form. This custom development uses the correct function module interface with the IMPORT XML.
The XML which i sent as IMPORT PARAMETER to the form is also created by own custom development. Via the default XML class of SAP
So that was my solution
Kind regards,
Anton Pierhagen

Using the Adobe Forms for printing through portal

Hi All,
I've got a problem with the fact that I do not know exactly how to use the Adobe Forms from the portal.
I've got the Form Objects done (Interface & Form using SE80) and they work OK when testing the form. The Interface gathers all the datas etc. and the form displays this correctly.
My problem now is that I need to have this form available from the portal, and this I presume needs some WebDynPro stuff or something else? I'm totally lost on this part ...
The customer wants to have a button or link in the portal that opens a new window with the produced PDF opened in the new window, much like opening a static PDF file. The user then has the option to print the PDF him/herself using Adobe Readers own print mechanism.
My interface has only one Import parameter (PERNR number) and one EXPORT parameter (default). The PERNR number must be supplied to the interface so that it can gather all the needed data based on this number.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated and rewarded accordingly.
Thankyou in advance,
Kim

Hi Arnab,
from a forms point of view:
(I assume you have the ADS up and running on the Java stack. Without it, the form generation doesn't work.)
If you create your form in transaction SFP and execute the corresponding program that calls the form for testing in SE38, you get to the print dialogue. Here you may choose either locl or lp01 (or any other printer accessible through your network) and then select Print Preview. This should then display the PDF in SAP GUI.
If you are asking about general printer setup within SAP, check the corresponding documentation: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/d9/4a8eb751ea11d189570000e829fbbd/frameset.htm

Calling Adobe form in a Workflow Step for approval

Hello,
There are some ISR forms and workflows in MSS which use Workflow tasks configured as JavaWebDynpro to call Adobe form from the Workflow Step.
Is it possible to achieve the same using ABAP Web Dynpro and creating a new task and configuring to use it as an ABAP Web Dynpro (which can in turn call the Adobe form from the WD)?
Thanks.

Hi Anjali,
1)You can develop an RFC that collects required basic data from R/3 and display them in ABAP WD - Adobe Form. The End user can change/fill the remaining contents of the Adobe Form and submits it for approval. The RFC again handles the triggering part of the Workflow and passes the form data to the workflow containers.And for approvals, you can use the SWFVISU to call a ABAP WD application from Workflow. And in turn the control again goes back to RFC and so...
2)I dont have much idea in ECC 60 if there is a similar ABAP WD application like Standard Java WD IsrFormApprove.
3)No idea.

Raja Sekhar

Using adobe forms in SAP HR ABAP EHP7

Hi All,
I am aware that ADS is used in adobe forms display and designing, but I just wanted to know if we can use adobe forms just to display payslips in PDF as SAP releases HR forms only to be designed using Form builder and not smart forms which in turn can be designed by Adobe life cycle designer only.
Please recommend the method to use Adobe forms in ABAP stack if there is any possibility.

Integrating Dynamic Adobe Form with BSP: SAP Objectives setting &Appraisal

Hi all,
My users ask me whether wecan use Adobe Form to replace SAP standard BSP appraisal form (generated by HAP_DOCUMENT).
I konw that it's possible to integrate Adobe Interactive form with BSP.
But my Adobe form must contain dynamic table, with ability to insert/delete row on the form. This is just like what's there when you can adding objectives by client scripting in SAP OSA.
Please tell me if the integration of dynamic Adobe form with BSP is possible?
(We are on ECC 6, EPH2).
Thank you so much.

Hello,
have you worked with the following document?
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/d0e58022-2a39-2a10-69a8-c1a892e2b3f4&overridelayout=true
Did you try to develop a demo version of the form to try if it is possible to do what you need to?
Do you plan to replace "only" the standard non-Adobe form or to develop a whole custom application?
PRovide more details about the steps you´ve tried and we can solve this out. Regards, Otto

Weird character 'u00A4' display at output of ADOBE form in SAP for amount

When display pattern for amount field is set for ADOBE form in SAP, output displays ' ¤ '.
All display patterns shows '$' at the begining, but when output is generated it displays '¤'.
Advice me how to eliminate this. (or)
Is there a way to hide this character.

I am not saying this is your problem BUT I was troubled for quite a while by having unprintable characters imbedded within text fields. It turns out that Ctrl V character was being embedded within text by user.
So I suggest that you view the data while in debug and do it in hex. This was the only way I was able to see that I had a problem with the text itself. Then I was able to add logic to filter for these errors.

Hi,
Use of Adobe form:
As of SAP NetWeaver u201904 (in SAP Web Application Server), you can use a new solution to create interactive forms and print forms for the optimization of your form-based business processes. This solution uses Portable Document Format (PDF) and software from Adobe Systems Inc. that has been integrated into the SAP environment.
You can create interactive forms in PDF format that allow users to fill out the form on the screen and save their entries in XML format in the form. When the SAP system receives the PDF form, it extracts the data saved in the form, and can process it further.
Smart form Vs Adobe form
Smart forms / scripts are used to show the data in SAP. Most likely you will use these to print / display some kind of reciepts / forms.
but, Adobe forms are used to post data into SAP from SAP too.
●      Create form templates for the layout that include logos or pictures
●      Generate documents by merging form templates and current system data
●      Edit forms online or offline
●      Forms can be filled in advance automatically with specific data from SAP applications and then sent to the correct recipients using secure methods
●      Automatic consistency checks for forms
●      Activate enhanced functions such as comments
●      Digital signatures and form certification
●      Send completed forms to the SAP application with automatic updates of the business data
