Access the adobe form pdf data in abap or java programs

Hi,
We created an adobe form, with few text boxes, and emailed to user for filing his data into the pdf file.
He filled the text boxes and saved the pdf, and sent back the pdf file by mail.
Now our requirement is:
we need to read the values entered by the user in pdf and update in certain ztables using abap or java.
case 1: using abap
How can abap program read the entries/values in pdf.
is there any doc/blog that shows how to access the adobe form data in abap.
do we need to use/install any software for this.
case 2: using java
Is it possible to read/retrive the adobe form data into java. once the data is into java program, i can utilise the data for several puposes.

using ABAP:
check the program: FP_PDF_TEST_03
This program reads the data from Adobe into XML format.
After this you have to read the data from XML format into ABAP(hope you know how to convert XML to ABAP or simply google it).
Thanks,
Chandra

Access the adobe form data in the workflow container for further processin

HI,
I am using HCM processes and Forms. I need to access the form data in the workflow container once the workflow kicks off.
I need to access these data as would need it for further processing in the workflow.
I know that TS17900110 allows to import form conatiner to
-> WF Container in the field name and value pair. But I need to access a lot more fields than what is in the task. Is there a standard task which allow to retrieve all the fields in the form in one task or do I need to develope a custom class to do that. If so could you please provide some clue as in how to code this specific requirement as i am somewhat new to OO ABAP.
Thanks...

Data node mapped to Adobe Form empty - Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi,
I've created a web dynpro component in ABAP. One of the view contains an interactive Adobe form.
Form properties : Data source and pdf source are mapped
Enabled checked
Submit action mapped to a method. This method reads the node mapped to the form.
Form Layout: Used ZCI Layout and Inserted web dynpro script (XML interface)
Dragged attributes from data view to create text fields.
Submit button used from Web dynpro native group
I could not read data from the form.
When I submit the form, data is not captured in the context.
I have used the same context for view and could save the data from the view. But from the adobe form, I cannot read the data.
Is there anything I missed. I have been on this since 2 days with no solution. I dont see any mistake but the form doesnt work.
Version: Adobe Designer : 8.1 (from market place)
SAP Netweaver 2004s SP18
Any help on this is appreciated.
P.S. Used all possible help from SDN existing posts and SAP notes.
Thanks in advance,
Srinivas

Hi Srinivas,
place a button on webdynpro view it self then try.
make sure your form is working in interactive mode.
else keep this conde in modifyview method.
method WDDOMODIFYVIEW.
data: LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM type ref to CL_WD_INTERACTIVE_FORM,
LR_METHOD_HANDLER type ref to IF_WD_IACTIVE_FORM_METHOD_HNDL.
check first_time = abap_true.
LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM ?= VIEW->GET_ELEMENT(u2018<<ID_OF_YOUR_UIELEMENT>>u2019).
LR_METHOD_HANDLER ?= LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM->_METHOD_HANDLER.
LR_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_LEGACY_EDITING_ENABLED( abap_true ).
endmethod.

Place the Adobe Form as PDF file in a URL

Hi Experts,
I have created an Adobe form and got the PDF data in the form of XSTRING now I need to place this as PDF file in the URL which I have generated programmatically. Not sure on how to do it. Any function modules or classes to place this as PDF file at a URL will be really helpful for me.
Tried with HTTP* function modules and seems they are not working.
Thanks for you help.

Hi Sai,
Thanks for ur input.
My requirement is not exactly the string with XML data, but the string with PDF data.
I will try to explain my requirement here in detail.
I have the adobe form triggering from the webdynpro. This form has different objects like, text fields, dropdowns, check boxes, radio buttons...etc and one SUBMIT button for which webservice is attached in the properties.
User will fill all the fields and clicks on SUBMIT. When he clicks on the SUBMIT, the webservice should attach the filled PDF document at partner level.
For this purpose, i need the string with PDF data and not the XML.
WIth this PDF string again i should be able to re generate the PDF document which was filled by the user.
If string with PDF data is not possible, Please suggest me the possible way of achieving this?
Regards,
Ram.

How to merge data to the adobe forms

Can any one tell me the solution to merge data to the adobe form created using adobe life cycle designer. Here i want to merge data in the server side and send the resulting forms to the users

Hi,
You are correct, You can load the Data from ODSA / ODSB to ODSC.
1. Create the ODSC which are include the fileds A,B,C,D,E.
2. Create the Transfermation from ODSA to ODSC> Give the Propermapping with A,B,C,D> Save and Activate the Transfermation.
3. Create the another Transfermation from ODSB to ODSC--> Give the mapppings with A and E only, then save and activate the Transfermation.
4. Create the two DTPs for indevidual loading data from ODSA>ODSC and ODSB>ODSC.
You can see the Data from ODSC by selecting Manage.

Problem with Table display in Adobe Form of Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi Team,
I'm trying to display a table in Adobe Print Form (not interactive). The table is bound to the context node in the Web Dynpro ABAP where the cardinality is 0:N. I get a short dump. Don't know what to do here. I'm able to display individual fields from my context successfully. Looks like something is missing when I try to display a table. Any pointers to display a data table in Adobe? Any step by step example you know of where I can find out what I did wrong? Many thanks for your time
We are on support pack SP06 on 2004S release.
DUMP INFORMATION:
Short text
    Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.
What happened?
    Error in the ABAP Application Program The current ABAP program "CL_WD_ADOBE_SERVICES==========CP" had to be terminated because it has come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL', was not caught in procedure "CREATE_PDF" "(METHOD)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.

Hi Thomas,
We upgraded our system(2004S) to SP10 so that we can use the ADOBE form printing in Web Dynpro ABAP but could not apply note 1034425 because of the validity constraints in SNOTE. All the pre-requisite notes are already in the system apart from one note 1029721 which talks about supporting input helps. We don't want to use input helps in our system and cannot upgrade to SP11 because of problems with Business functionality.
Questions:
1) Is note 1034425 absolutely dependent on 1029721?
2) If NOT, can someone please correct the validity so that we can implement using SNOTE.
3) Would it be OK if we manually apply the changes specified in 1034425 without implementing 1029721?
4) If all of the above is not applicable, is there any other note which fixes the above mentioned short dump.
Your help in this matter will greatly help us in using the ADOBE services provided by SAP WDA.
Thanks much

How to use the separate symbol in the text field in the adobe form.

Hi,experts,
I dont know how to use the separate symbol to make a paragraph separate into several lines correctly in the text field in the adobe form.
Action:
1. config the ADS successfully.
2. create the adobe form with a mult-line textfield(binding the 'remark' context in the interface of the form) using sfp.
3. create a WDA for invoke the form and transfer the 'remark' context data.
I use the following codes to display the paragraph in the PDF document:
CONCATENATE
'1、aaaaaaaaaaa；'
'2、bbbbbbbbb '
'3、ccccccccccc'
'4、ddddddddd'
INTO remark .
lo_nd_z_hr_php_payslip->set_attribute(
EXPORTING
name = `REMARK`
value = remark ).
But I found all the content aren't paragraph separate correctly in the text field in the adobe form when I run the WDA.
Could you please give me some hints to make the paragraph separate correctly in PDF document? Thanks a lot in advance!
My email is : [email protected]

Tao

Hi,
If it is just a one word value then you could use this in the exist event;
this.rawValue
= util.printx(">?<*",this.rawValue);
This changes the first character (represented by the ?) to uppercase (represented by the >) and all trailing characters (represented by the *) to lowercase (represented by the <).
If you wanted something more general ... if they could also enter a middle name then you could call a function like;
function toTitleCase(textValue)
return textValue.toLowerCase().replace(/\b[a-z]/g, function replacer(match) { return match.toUpperCase(); });
This uses a regex to change all lowercase letters following a word boundary to uppercase.

Displaying the roles in the adobe form for the corresponding system

Hi Gurus,
I have two fields in my WDP Abap interactive form. In first filed, 2 radio buttons are there (1. SAP R/3 system, 2. BW System) As per this selection, I need to bring the existing roles and display them in the Adobe form. I know the technical system names for R/3 and BW as well. Please suggest me how can I achieve this. I know there should be a RFC call ... Please give me the detailed explaination.

Hi
Check the format (in the object pallete) of the date field in Adobe liveCycle Designer, If it is not set already set it according to your requirement. then see if it works
Hope this helps

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

Read all rows in static table defined in the adobe form using webdynproABAP

Hi all,
The requirement is i have to display the 5 empty rows using adobe forms in the table format and retrieve the data from that 5 rows after user enter some value and post it in the database table. This is the part of my requirement.
I have done the designing part in interactive form and coding in WD using ABAP.
For that, I defined table in the adobe forms where in the DATA subform I have given Min count value is 5 instead of 1(selected the check box - repeat each item... also). I am able to display 5 empty rows successfully. After enter values in 3 rows and press SAVE button i am getting only first record but not all 3 records.
I have written the code for SAVE records in WD using ABAP. I am using this method "get_static_attributes_table" for getting all records.
Please help me resolving my issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
In the WDDOINIT method, create an internal table with 5 empty rows and bind it to the context using the method Bind_Table.
Then try executing your program, this should work.
If it doesnt , do let me know.

Runal

How to bring status icons in the Adobe Form.

Hi Experts,
I am new to Adobe forms and I need to bring a icon indicating the satus ( For example green icon shoud be displayed if the values exceed our expection ) . Currently if I try to bring an icon in the form it is just displaying the text value corresponding to the icon even though the icon is of data type ICONTEXT (For Example:Instead of displaying a icon in green it just displaying the corresponding text values like '@@4' ) . When we try to display the same icon in the table view it is displayed in a form of image.
Kindly let me know how to bring status icon in the adobe forms.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Nandha

Hi,
The ADS will not understand this as an icon and create it on the PDF. If you want to insert an icon in the
PDF you should insert it as an image in the Designer.
