ACF ActiveX error Adobe Interactive Forms

my enviornment
server: windows 2003
WebAS 6.40 SR1 SP9
ADS 1.00 SR1 SP9
(all configured according to ads installation
and configuration guides, installed adobe
credentials file and checked password,
ADSCallers group, ADSUser security role
assigned, basic authentication set up)
client(s)
windows XP home SP2
windows XP professional SP2
windows 2000 SP4
all clients have ACF installed from xACF.exe
file dated 2-2-2005
Adobe Reader 6.0.2
IE 6.0 (all ActiveX options enabled)
get the same error on all clients
from Microsoft script debugger
CSF.api.acf.notifyHooked("EGPD.InteractiveView.InteractiveForm2")
are there different versions of xACF.exe out there
i know the xACF_11.exe will not work with SR1 SP9

If you are at a point in your development cycle where it is feasible, I recommend that you update to SP11. There were several issues that you may come across later in your testing that were resolved with sp10 and sp11. (I would have to dig through our list of bugs/fixes if you would like specifics.)Also, with the 7.0.0 client, the client interaction with IE is much more stable. We had many issues with Reader 6.0.2. 6.0.3 seemed to correct some, but not all. (IE would abnormally terminate when submitting forms or when cancelling forms).
We have not worked with SP9 since before the beginning of the year. We implemented SP10 in late December/early January, and saw improvement. We upgraded to sp11 in March (actually had an early version to test with prior to that) and have seen much improvement in the behavior of the client pieces as well as some server side issues with both 6.0.3 clients and especially with 7.0.0 clients. (I understand that your issues now appear to be compatibility between client and ads server, so they may or may not be resolved this way). We are currently running SP11 (with additional note 766191 for the latest xacf files), Reader 7.0.0 and 7.0.1, IE 6 on a combination of XP SP1/SP2 and win2k clients. The added bonus is that the client dll's are automatically downloaded at runtime as of SP10. (and are signed controls, so you can tighten up your browser security). This is a recommedation from a fellow tester, Matthias is the ultimate guru.

Problem with ACF for Adobe Interactive Forms

Hi Gurus,
I had created an adobe interactive form using web dynpro for abap, but I am getting the 500 connection timed out error in the browser when I test the web dynpro application. Where as a normal web dynpro application without adobe form is running successfully.
The system details are :-
     Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0
     NW04S SPS9
     Adobe Reader 9
     IE 7.
I followed the note 766191 and downloaded and installed ACF(for NW04s and higher version supported upto acrobat reader 9) from browser itself.
I also followed the note 1150277 for enabling IE settings on ActiveX controls. And I checked in IE with Tools->Internet Options->Programs->Manage Add-ons, but the ACF components were not available.
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance,
Sriratna.

Adobe Interactive Forms without Web Dynpro and ACF???

Hi All, we would like to build an interactive forms solution based on the Adobe software integrated into WAS. However, the customer requires a true thin client application with no additional installation on the client. Integrating Adobe Interactive Forms into Web DynPro however requires the Active Component Framework (ACF) to be installed since these forms are integrated into the page within an ActiveX container.
So the question is whether there is a way to use Adobe Interactive forms including the Adobe Documents Service within WAS but without(!) using Web Dynpro?(the full blown Adobe LifCycle Forms solution is not an option). Any suggestions on this are highly appreciated!
Tanks!

Hello everyone,
I would like to add a couple of points from the SAP Product Management perspective.
Adobe has a number of stand-alone products that are the foundation for what SAP can now offer thanks to our partnership. This is exactly why we decided on a partnership that provides us with established technology, which is now integrated.
It is true that Web Dynpro is the main SAP way of integrating the interactive functions of the solution. We made this decision consciously, because the development and run-time environments provide very useful features that reduce the need for manual coding, such as the possibility of passing the data back to the backend using the Web Dynpro context. The automatism we offer here needs to be implemented from scratch with any other solution, including the Adobe stand-alone one.
While it is true that the ACF constitutes a certain limitation for the reasons you mention, Adobe will remedy this in 2005. The Reader/Web Dynpro integration will be available later this year for multiple platforms (OS, browsers) and will not require ACF anymore.
If you do not want to use a full-blown Web Dynpro application for your concrete scenario, consider developing an application that provides nothing but the interactive PDF form to the end user, to be filled in using the stand-alone Reader. The submit of the form data (with or without the PDF itself) could then happen via HTTP or e-mail.
Kind regards,
Markus Meisl

Error message while clicking PDF Preview of a ADOBE interactive form

Hi -
I am creating an ADOBE interactive form having Tables, few text fields and E-mail submit button. The scripting language used is FormCalc.
Whenever I am clicking on PDF Preview to see the form layout and to check other functionality, I am getting an error message:
Error message -
Error: syntax error near token '|' on line 1, column 14.
Script failed (language is formcalc; context is xfa[0].form[0].data[0].Mainpage[0].Subform3[0].Table2[0].Row1[0].RATING[0])
script=this.isnull || (this.rawvalue >= -32768 && this.rawvalue <= 32767
I checked my scripts and there is no syntax error in that. My form is also working absolutely fine except getting this error message pop up whenever I try previewing my form.
Can you please tell me, what can be the possible reason.

I tried everything, but couldn't figure out the reason for error. I wrote the script again, but the error is still coming.
Here is a part of my script. I have written this script on Email submit button in preSubmit event, to check if the RATING field value is less than or equal to 3. depending upon this condition, I am making the COMMENT field as mandatory. The same script is repeated for all the RATING & COMMENT fields.
if (data.GyanMainBodyPage.Subform2.Table1.Row1.RATING1 <= 3)
then
 data.GyanMainBodyPage.Subform2.Table1.Row1.COMMENT1.mandatory = "error"
 data.GyanMainBodyPage.Subform2.Table1.Row1.COMMENT1.mandatoryMessage = "Please fill corresponding comment"
else
 data.GyanMainBodyPage.Subform2.Table1.Row1.COMMENT1.mandatory = "disabled"
endif

Date format convert error in XML interface based Adobe interactive forms

Hi experts,
I am using XML interface based Adobe interactive form in Web Dynpro ABAP. The form just contains some date fields and numeric fields.
When I test the WD Application, the date fields appear like 0000-00-00 at the first time. And then I set the form input disable, and get the XML from the form, at the same time I get the warning message, 'date format convert error'. By the way, I have set the edit pattern, display pattern and data pattern of the date field to YYYYMMDD, but there seems no effect.
Could you tell me how to set the default date format in date field Or clear the 0000-00-00?
And another question, all of the numeric fields in the form appear like 0.0, how can I set it to empty when the form initialize?
Best Regards,
Guo Guo Qing

Hi Chintan,
Thank you for your reply.
I have tried every possible changes on the Date field, locale, pattern. But still no effect. When the PDF come up in the WDA program, the date field is still '0000-00-00', and then I export the XML date of the form, there is also '0000-00-00' in the interface field.
I can't clear the '0000-00-00' in initializiation event using javascript because if I need to open the form again, if I do this, the value user input could be cleared.
I also try using Javascrip like this
if this.rawValue == "0000-00-00"
{ this.rawValue = ""; }
The code above can't clear the initializiation zeros too.
Have you used the XML interface based online Adobe Forms? I have used XML PDF forms for output before, that's perfect. But the input forms seems so strange.
Best Regards,
Guo Guo Qing

Hi Jhonny,
Make the Submit button a regular one instead of execute and place the following code in the click event(JavaScript).

Error in FormCalc Script of Adobe Interactive Forms

Hi,
We created certain Custom I.S.R. Scenarios and attached them to Workflows. So in these regards, we had already created the needed forms in Adobe Interactive Forms Transaction(SFP) and launched the Scenario successfully in Enterprise Portal.
But we have a couple of requirements like during Create mode of the form, I should be able to modify certain contents of the form, and during the Change mode of the form, I should be able to modify certain other fields of the form. So I had opted for FormCalc Scripting in these regards.
I used the following code...
if($record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_MODE == "CHANGE")
then
 this.access = "readOnly"
else
 this.access = ""
endif
Well, I used the same script in two of my forms. For one form, it's working very perfect. But for other form, it's giving the following error..
Error : accessor '$record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_MODE' is unknown.
I am very much mazed, why the same code behaves in 2 ways in two different forms.
So can anyone help me in these regards?
Regards,
Raja Sekhar

Hi,
I solved the problem by applying alternate solution.
I used Java Script instead of FormCalc Script.
That cleared my errors.

Raja Sekhar

Adobe Interactive Form - Layout type

Friends,
I am working on an Adobe Interactive Form.
Regarding the Layout Type in the Properties Tab, what option should i choose:
Unknown Layout Type / xACF Layout / ZCI layout / Standard Layout.
I have used print forms in the past and chose Standard Layout. Please let me know what is the right choice for an interactive form.
I am trying to populate Drop Down box with values. I have chosen "Enumerated Drop-down List" from Web Dynpro Native Library.
I have done the binding under Binding tab -> Specify Item Values -> Dynamic Properties -> Binding.
Still the values are not getting displayed in the PDF preview.
Is the layout type the reason for this or do i need to work with ABAP Dynpro to rectify this error.
Points will be rewarded for helpful answers.
Thanks.

Hi,
The basic difference is:
1) ActiveX Dropdowns requires ACF to be installed on each client machine to get back the data from interactive form back to context.
2) While, the use of Native dropdowns makes a form to ZCI type, so that does not require any xACF component to be installed on each and every machine that uses the Interactive forms.
So, it is recommended to use Native dropdowns in your forms,
Also, for the population of dropdowns of type native you can go through SAP note: 1013227.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Amita
