Adding Barcode to Adobe Form using Adobe LifeCycle Designer

I am hoping someone can help me. I have created a PDF form and have added 2 3-of-9 barcodes to the form using Adobe LifeCycle Designer version 8.0. I see the barcodes when I prin tthe form from Adobe but when I run my web page to print out the form using pdf, only the default value shows on the printed form, no tthe barcode as expected? Do I need some other software?
Thanks in advance

Hi Vasu,
Yes you can add fonts on ADS.
Adobe document services require access to fonts that are installed with the Font Manager Module. This module contains a number of Adobe bundled fonts installed in
"/usr/sap/<SAPSID>/JC<xx>/j2ee/os_libs/adssap/FontManagerService/fonts/adobe".
You can also add fonts obtained from other vendors. The types of fonts you can add are OpenType® (.otf), TrueType® (.ttf), and PostScript® Type 1 (.pfb/.pfm).
Procedure
To add fonts:
1. Create a subdirectory called fonts below the
"/usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/global/AdobeDocumentServices/ FontManagerService" directory.
Enter JC<xx> if your system is a SAP Web AS J2EE system.
Enter DVEBMGS<xx> if your system is a SAP Web AS ABAP + J2EE system (J2EE Add-In).
2. Create a subdirectory called customer below the fonts/ directory created in the previous step.
3. Copy your fonts into the "/usrsap/<SAPSID>/SYS/global/AdobeDocumentServices/ FontManagerService/fonts/customer" directory.
4. Restart the Document Services Font Manager for the changes to take effect.
5. Also restart the application com.adobe/AdobeDocumentServices for the changes to take effect.

When printing form using Adobe Acrobat X, I get squares over my italic text

Hi,
I have created an Adobe Form using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and just printed it to check whether this works and the following occured:
- When printing my 14 page document using adobe reader everything looked great
- When printing my 14 page document using adobe prof X (not XI !) the italic text had some (non filled, seethrough) squares throughout it. The squares are not constant (5-15 squares per sentence) and I cannot recognize a pattern. However, they appear each time I print the entire document.
- When printing only one page of the document (that has italic text on it) it prints fine with either the free adobe reader or adobe pro X.
Font is Verdana,Italic. Size is 8,27 pt. Data is sometimes embedded (I did not use this feature and have no idea what is means). I always use Windows. Right now windows 7 to be exact.
One more thing: as you can see above the file was created using adobe XI. However, my company uses adobe pro X and therefore the document had to be printable using adobe pro X.
Can someone please help me? I have put a lot of time in the design of this form and not being able to print it correctly is a real dealbreaker for using it which would mean my efforts were wasted.
I added an example to clearify:
Best,
Linda

This is all I can find in KB:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/877/cpsid_87775.html#main_Known_issues_on_Windows_
I downloaded MS hotfix and the issue still persists.
We have to identify if this is an adobe issue or a microsoft issue.

ADOBE FORMS using Webservice

Hi Experts,
I have a problem with Adobe Forms Using webservice. I created RFC where it saves data from Adobe Forms to a customized table and exposed it as webservice. From the SOA manager, I copied the generated link pasted in the dataconnection in Adobe Lifecycle designer, but whenever I generate the form I keep receiving this error:
"http:// erpwrk1.corp.com:8000/sap/bc/srt/wsdl/bndg_DFA46DE60CFOD33F19F21005056C00008/wsdl11/allinone/ws_policy/document?sap-client=001". Check that the path is correct and that the file is a valid wsdl file.
I already activated services from SICF in relation SOAP runtime. What could be the cause of the problem and how to fix the problem?
Thanks A Lot!
Mae

Hi Ma. Angelica A. Estacio,
From the SOA manager, I copied the generated link pasted in the dataconnection in Adobe Lifecycle designer, but whenever I generate the form I keep receiving this error: Check that the path is correct and that the file is a valid wsdl file and hence i cannot finish the data connection wizard.
From the above posts, it looks like you have resolved the issue. But can you please let me know how did you resolve it ?
Did you check any SAP transaction to find the above mentioned checkbox?
Please revert as this has become critical now.
You can mail me your response on [email protected]

I have developed a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro. The form has several fields and some of the information is captured in a bar code. What programs must be used to open the form to properly fill the form out? Adobe Reader, Adobe Xi, Ibook, etc.. I

I have created a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro that contains several data fields with some feeding data to a barcode in the document. I have a "button" set up to save and send the completed form one it is completed. Some of the user are having troubles filling out the form as they are using various programs to do such as iBook, Adobe Reader, etc.... Sometimes the information is not transferred to the barcode and sometimes the "submittal button" doesn't function properly.
Please provide a solution or give me a list of the programs that must be used to properly open and fill out the form.
Greatly appreciated.

Best option is to use Adobe Reader (or Acrobat, of course) on a desktop computer (ie, not on a mobile device). Any other configuration is likely to be problematic.

Why can't I create Fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and upload to Dreamweaver?

I can create fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I can email them to someone using Adobe Reader (free) and they can fill them, save and email to me. But when I upload the form to Dreamweaver CS5, the form is not fillable. And yes, I saved it as a Reader Extended PDF-Enable Additional Features.

I see no reason for this form to fail in Reader. Some questions for you.
1. On the system with Adobe Reader, what is the system and the version of Adobe Reader?
2. Are you viewing the PDF in a browser on the system with Reader, or in an Adobe Reader window?
3. If it's a browser
(a) what is the browser
(b) if you download the file instead, and open directly in Reader, what happens?

Hi,
I couldn't get to your query..
What do you mean by step by step procedure for a design time & process for forms.
if you are a beginner and looking for basic examples to implement adobe forms there are lot of them in SDN, please search them.
let me know if your query was a very specific one.

Adobe Form used by more than one user simultaneously

Friends,
I am working on an online interactive Adobe form using Web Dynpro ABAP.
once the user enters the data and clicks the submit button, the data is sent to ztables.
the scenario is that more than one user can possibly use the same form simultaneously. in that case, how can i maintain synchronization ie how to avoid multiple users from using the form at the same time, when the form is already being filled by one user already.
I am guessing i have to do something with ADS for this.
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards.

Hi Bertrand,
The purpose of allowing only one user is to ensure data consistency as you have guessed.
Is there a program name or transaction code where i can look up the lock entries and see if i can apply them to my web dynpro application or the adobe form.
I would greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks and Regards.

Making selective fields editable in adobe form [using web dynpro]

Hi,
I have displayed an adobe form using web dynpro application. But I have to make certain fields (not all fields) on this adobe form editable. I dont want to make this adobe form interactive because I dont have to save any data in database. The data entered in the editable fields will be saved as a pdf.
What I did so far:
1) The fields which I want as editable, I have given there type as "User entered/ optional" & for rest of the fields I have given type as "Read only".
2) In web dynpro, I have enabled the adobe
3) This is not making the fields editable.
4) If I write the following code in my webdynpro method WDDOMODIFYVIEW, then my data coming from adobe is not getting displayed even though the fields get selectively editable.
*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('adobe').
*LR_METHOD_HANDLER ?= LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM->_METHOD_HANDLER.
*LR_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_LEGACY_EDITING_ENABLED( abap_true ).
Any inputs regarding this??
Thanks & Regards.

Hi,
Like I had mentioned using the following code in my webdynpro method WDDOMODIFYVIEW, my data coming from adobe form was not getting displayed even though the fields get selectively editable.
*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('adobe').
*LR_METHOD_HANDLER ?= LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM->_METHOD_HANDLER.
*LR_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_LEGACY_EDITING_ENABLED( abap_true ).
So I kept this code & I also kept the Interface type "ABAP Dictionary based".
Additionally in Webdynpro, I used adobe form generated FM to get the adobe content & passed it to the "content" parameter of my adobe component in webdynpro.
Thanks & Regards.

I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages

I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages and word on Mac running Mountain lion. How do I allow the user of the form to insert JPEG files when filling out the form and how do I allow the user to add more fields or groups of fields as needed.

The type of form yo're describing is possible if you create it in LiveCycle Designer. It may also be possible in Acrobat, but there are certain restrictions. The type of form is known as a dynamic XFA form. LiveCycle Designer is not available on the Mac, so you'd have to install the software on a Windows machine and learn how to create this type of form. The LiveCycle Designer forum here is a good resource for getting more help.
Reader 11 now supports creating new pages using templates with a form that you create in Acrobat (Acroform). This requires some JavaScript programming. It also adds support for using a button to display a page from a PDF, which can be an image or anything else a PDF can be. So the user would click a button, be prompted to import a page from an existing PDF, and the button (or a different button) displays it as its icon. This would require the user to convert the image to PDF first, which is relatively easy these days (e.g., using Preview on the Mac, or Word on Mac/Windows). This too involves a bit of JavaScript programming, but it's very simple and straightforward.
