Web Dynpro ABAP, Adobe interactive forms and Drag and Drop functionality.

Hi Experts,
is it possible to use Drag and Drop functionality together with Adobe Interactive forms in Web Dynpro ABAP? I consider dragging object (like texts) to interactive form placed in Web Dynpro.

I think I understand but just to make it clear. I use texts created using function module "SAVE_TEXT". In my Web Dynpro I select one or more of them and use the button "insert text" (with appropriate functionality behind it) to insert them to specified location in my PDF form opened in this Web Dynpro. Considering what you said it is not possible to replace this "insert text" button by drag and drop functionality. Am I correct?
Btw great job with the book "Next Generation ABAP Development" Thomas!

Adding rows in web dynpro ABAP Dynamic Interactive form.

Hi Experts,
I am having problem in web dynpro ABAP Dynamic Interactive form.
This is my scenario....
I have a dynamic interactive form that has buttons to add and remove rows in a table. It works fine when I preview it , but when I render, view or save it using ADS, it no longer works. The "add" button actually does instantiate more repeating rows, because I put some trace messages in to count them, but the added rows are not displayed. How do I make them visible?
In web dynpro java we write some coding in modify view to set the pdf form as dynamic
IWDInteractiveForm iForm =
(IWDInteractiveForm)view.getElement("<ID>");
iForm.setDynamicPDF(true);
simillarly what we need to write in web dynpro ABAP.
Please give me solution for the same.
Thanks,

How to put water mark in web dynpro abap Adobe forms

Hi
Can any body tell me how to put water mark in web dynpro Abap adobe forms ,
actually I need to print water mark as back ground in gray color.
Points will be rewarded of Helpful answer..!

Hi,
for more information about layout options in forms, go to your form in transaction SFP, layout view and choose Help -> Adobe LifeCycle Designer Help. There you find information on page layout, e.g. " Objects can be placed anywhere on a master page, inside or outside the content area. As a general rule, do not place objects inside the content area unless your intention is to have other objects laid down on top of the master page objects when the form is rendered. If you are setting up a watermark, place it inside the content area. "
Besides, there's an Adobe forum where you might get more information for such Adobe questions.

Problem with Web Dynpro ABAP Adobe form Access via 'NULL' object reference

Hi All!
I'm a beginner of Adobe form.
problem 1:
I tried to display data in Adobe interactive form according to the tutorial :https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/7783. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
I checked every step, but unfortunately it reported an error: Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible. I found that the error happens when trying to get element of the context node.
I also have such problem when I was studying the tutorial https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDABAP/CallAdobeFormthroughABAPWebDynpro.
problem 2:
I can't input any data in input box or click any button even if I selected the property 'enabled' of the interactive form while my colleague can do it on his computer. Does it means that there are some thing wrong with my adobe reader?
Hope anyone could save me,
Thanks & Regards,

Generate Adobe Interactive Form in background and setpdfSource value.

Hi,
Is there any way to create Adobe Interactive Form in the background assigning R/3 data (without displaying) and assign pdfSource binary information in context attribute and later, display Adobe Interactive Form using pdfSource context attribute in a new window?
if Adobe Interactive Form is in Visible state, I'm also able to display Adobe Interactive Form in a new window using pdfSource binary context attribute, .
But, unable to create Adobe Interactive form in the background when Adobe Interactive Form Visibility is NONE and unable to assign binary data to pdfSource attribute in context and hence unable to display Adobe Interactive Form in a new window. Kindly help me if this process is possible.
Thank you in advance.
Regards
Prasad

Hi Prasad,
This is certainly possible. First populate the dataSource context node with the data (e.g. coming from R/3). Then use <a href="http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/wd/com/sap/tc/webdynpro/clientserver/adobe/api/WDInteractiveFormHelper.html">WDInteractiveFormHelper.getContextDataAsStream</a> to obtain the data.xml as a byte[] by calling toByteArray() on the ByteArrayOutputStream. The next step is to obtain the xdp template as a byte[] (I don't know exactly how to do this, but it's certainly possible using some API, just as you would read other resources deployed within your Web Dynpro). When you have both the template and the data, you can use the <a href="http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/wd/com/sap/tc/webdynpro/clientserver/adobe/pdfdocument/api/package-summary.html">PDFDocument</a> API to render a PDF, something as <i>WDPDFDocumentFactory.getDocumentHandler().getDocumentContext().getDocumentCreationContext()</i>; set the data and the template and other options like interactive, call execute and retrieve the pdf byte[] from the returned object. Eventually you can assign the pdf byte[] to the pdfSource context attribute. In case you use NW04, you must use the <a href="http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/wd/com/sap/tc/webdynpro/pdfobject/api/package-summary.html">PDFObject</a> instead.
Besides, why would you want to create the PDF before displaying it?
Kind regards,
Sigiswald

Adobe Interactive Forms via Mail and PI.

Hi All,
We are currently implementing an adobe interactive forms scenario (offline) at our customer.
The initial scenario was the folllowing
1. PDF is generated on the CRM system and downloaded towards the clients PC
2. PDF is adjusted by enduser
3. When all info is added, enduser presses the submit button in the pdf, this triggers the sending of an email, with an attachment containing the filled in data in xml format.
4. PI reads the mail, takes the XML and processes the data.
The scenario was quiet easy to enable.
Now the customer wants the PDF to be mailed instead of or toghetger with the xml representing the data. Reason for this is that they want to pdf to be stored inside the initial transaction (service order) in SAP (archiving reasons).
The PI system is just acting as a mail client. When the mail is read, the pdf needs to be converted into an xml, representing the data. I would like to use the adobe document service to convert the pdf.
So the system that generates the pdf (=CRM) and the system that needs to convert it (PI) is different.
Can the adobe document service by addressed from within a standard java or abap class.
Any idea whether this can be done and how?
Easier solution would be, attaching the pdf and the xml in the mail message. Is this possible?
Kind regards
Joris

Hi,
Adobe Interactive form can be generated and sent it via email by using a normal Java class. But that Java class should run in a server which should contain Adobe DocumentService.This java class can be archived as a par file and deployed on Portal server or can be written as a Webservice and can be triggered by clicking on a URL.
Hope this blog helps.

Adobe Interactive forms with Graph and Japanese text

Hi Experts,
I want to use graph/bar/pie chart with Adobe Interactive forms and along with that the UI element's(Button,lable,table header,column) text has to be in Japanese language.
Is it possible using Adobe interactive form ?
Thanks in advance.

I don´t understand. Where do you want the Japanese texts? In the ordinary fields? Then you have to use (of course install first) some Japanese fonts for the fields. If you would like to have the texts in the picture, then there is no problem with the form since the texts are coming as a part of the picture into the form and you don´t need any fonts. Of course you need to install/ configure the japanese fonts in the backend to be able to draw it into the picture.

Current date in web dynpro's java interactive forms

Hi experts!!
In multiple interactive forms i am using a date-time field with:
runtime property set to current date/time. Even though i use as display pattern & edit pattern YYYY-MM-DD it still shows the time..
What am i doing wrong????
Thanx in advance!!!!

Hi
Select the date field on your form. On the Object Tab -> Value Tab you said that you selected the radio button "Runtime Property" -> "Current Date Time". When you select this option there is a script that is being run. You can find the script on the script editor. If you cannot see this script editor then look above your form you will see a slide bar with a blue arrow. Just drag that bar lower down. Then you can modify it as per my previous reply. After that click the green "+" sign to enter script changes.
If you cannot find it then forward me your email address and i shall take screenshots showing you where it is.
Thanks

Multiple search helps in ABAP Adobe interactive forms not working....

Hello,
I am working on my first interactive form. I have a couple of fields to which I have attached a search help. However, I am able to use the search help for only one field in a session. If I use the search help on one field then I am unable to use it on another field which uses the search help.
Can some one help? I am new to interactive forms and this is my first form.
I appreciate your help in advance.
Thank you,
Leena

Hi Leena,
Are the Data dictionary fields which you are using contains value range. Because i am only getting value help only for the fields for which there is value range defined in the dictionary. The problem is only for the fields for which there is no value range defined. If you have solution to this problem I will definitely award points to you. But in your thread for me its not possible to reward points, so you can answer the following thread:

Will reward points if found your answer helpful.

Issue with calling Web Services from Adobe Interactive Forms

Hi,
I have created Web Services for remote enabled function module and imported it in the data connection in adobe form. In the adobe form created the button (Drag&Drop from Data Connection) as HTTP submit button. In the submit URL I have given the Web Services link. A program is downloading the pdf form in desktop with fillable as 'N'.
When I provide the input parameters and click on the button, its promts for SAP user id and password. After that it shows the error as "An error occurred during the submit process. Cannot process content of type text/xml".
Why this error is coming and how to correct?
How can we debug web services?
Thanks and Regards,
Praveen

Browser Hangs iFbA in Web Dynpro Abap

Hi Support,
I'm developing an Abap Web Dynpro with Adobe Interactive Form inside.
I have setting these parameters: InteractiveForm.enabled = true, InteractiveForm.readonly = false.
Web Dynpro Page open correctly with iFbA but when I click one button in WD Page the event freeze Browser.
My system is ECC sp06, SAPKB70009 and SAPKA70009, but I can't patch the
system.
I implemented these Note:
1- Note 981638 - Dynamic forms are not supported in Web Dynpro ABAP
2- Note 1018060 - Adobe: Locale has invalid country/language combination
3- Note 999997 - Setting usage rights unnecessary with Adobe integration
Help me

Hi Enrico,
As per my understanding, you are able to view the interactiveform in your webdynpro and when you click on the button, it is getting hanged?
Have u created an event (onSubmit) in your webdynpro? set a break point in your submit event and see whether the request is reaching up to there or not?
And also.. set your form layout type as ZCL layout and activate it once.
Let me know if you still face the problem.

Web Dynpro Java and Adobe Interactive forms Which Tool Should I Use?

Hello Experts,
Can anyone help me with deciding the right technology to use among WDJ and Interactive form by adobe. I want to prepare a presentation to showcase the strong and weak points in order to decide the final technology.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I personally prefer Web Dynpro Java without Interactive forms in most cases.
    Interactive forms are developed on top of Web Dynpro, so you are including an extra tier with the complexity it adds.
    PDF files tend to go big and performance tends to go down. In average, my forms weight between 1 - 5 Mb so network traffic is a bottleneck.
    The scripting environment is very poor.
    On the other hand PDFs interfaces are nicer than WDJ, but I think navigation is worst in part because of the performance issues. Considering this, reporting could be a good use of Interactive Forms.
    The best scenario for using Interactive Forms is for off-line applications, which can't be done with WDJ. For example, if you want your customer to fill an order list, you can send automatically an offline pdf file wich he can fill and submit to your company, initiating a bpm.
Best regards, Aldo.

Comparision matrix of Webdynpro Java and Adobe Interactive form

Hi Experts,
In our project we have to choose the GUI between Webdynpro Java and Adobe Interactive forms. Can anyone help me out with strong comparision parameter's in order to select the right technology.
Thank you in advance.

Hi ,
Depends on your project requirement : if you project is simple and want to use less UI controls then use Adobe Interactive Forms (AIF).
But In your project needs large number of UI controls and to show huge amount of data then best option is Web Dynpro Java.
Web Dynpro provides wide varieties of UI controls for designing your web application . Adobe Interactive Forms have limited controls .
Web Dynpro take care of your Client side eventing which is not possible in AIF . AIF Developers needs to know Adobe scripting too.
If your Client data is huge AIF take so much of time to render your content and also this depends on your reader version installed on the end user too . Web Dynpro Java is Client neutral & it won't take much time to render the content.
Use AIF to show/process Business data in any Web application. ideally it is not suited for complete GUI of your project .

Rakesh Kumar
