Adobe form as a attachment in workflow

Hi,

Hi,
Your adobe forms opening in the T.code IQS2 right.
Create a method, call this T.code & pass the notification number using the call transaction Method.
Assign this method in the workflow via task and send it to the approver.

Adobe Form as an attachment

Hi,
We are having a requirement where I need to send the adobe form as an attachment in email. The existingform can be displayed by a URL in a browser. Now I have following queries:
Can we convert this URL based form into PDF document and send the same document as an attachment in a email? For email, we are using standard RFC.
Regards
Abhinav Sharma

if you create your pdf (in abap) you have to call function module FP_JOB_OPEN. There in the interface structure "outputparams" set parameter "getpdf" to 'X' (abap_true).
Then there will be the pdf data in the output structure of the generated funstion module "formoutput" in the variable "pdf".
Use class "cl_bcs" to send mails....

Send pdf (Adobe Form) as email attachment using BCS

Hello everybody!
I want to send a pdf, generated by Adobe Forms function module, as an email attachment to a certain external mail receiver. I have read that the methods of the Business Communication Services can render this, but I couldn't create a working solution. Can somebody give me a coding example for this scenario?
I would be very happy if somebody could help me!
Best regards,
Markus

Hello Alex!
your link to this document was very helpful. The scenario described in the pdf is almost what I was looking for. The only problem is, that the mail is sent to the Business Workplace Inbox. I want to send it to an external e-mail address. When I change the programm part where the recipient is defined like this:
Create recipient
DATA lo_recipient TYPE REF TO if_recipient_bcs VALUE IS INITIAL.
DATA l_reci    TYPE adr6-smtp_addr VALUE 'somemailaddress'.
lo_recipient = cl_cam_address_bcs=>create_internet_address( l_reci ).
Set sender
lo_send_request->add_recipient(
    EXPORTING
      i_recipient = lo_recipient ).
then no mail is sent to the recipients mailbox. I tried several variants but no mail is sent. Does somebody know how to set an external e-mail as recipient in this case?
Best regards!
Markus

Adobe Form print/email - Attach IXOS .tif images via string table param?

I am attempting to create an Adobe Form print/e-mail output for Invoices, with zero, one or many attached pages from the IXOS archive. (TIFF files.) So far I have managed to attach exactly one IXOS image. Now I need to make the number of attached images dynamic.
This is in Netweaver 7.0 / ECC 6.0 ehp 3 / LiveCycle Designer 8.1.
My ABAP driver program is a copy of SD_INVOICE_PRINT01. In pseudocode, I've added:
Logic to identify correct IXOS image.
Logic to extract IXOS image to application server's file system.
OPEN DATASET image.tif FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
READ DATASET image.tif INTO xstring.
CALL FUNCTION 'SSFC_BASE64_ENCODE' EXPORTING xstring IMPORTING string.
APPEND string TO string_table.
CALL FUNCTION form_name EXPORTING attachments = string_table.
The form interface is a copy of INVOICE_INTERFACE (ABAP dictionary-based.) I've added import param. ATTACHMENTS type STRING_TABLE.
In the form's context tab, interface import param. ATTACHMENTS was dragged & dropped onto the context pane, yielding:
- Table ATTACHMENTS
-- Structure DATA
--- Field ITEM.
In Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.1, I *can* create an image field with binding ATTACHMENTS.DATA[1].ITEM - that prints the TIFF from IXOS just fine.
What *does not* work is placing ATTACHMENTS on the form as a table of image fields. I've tried several combinations - most look like this:
- Table or Subform ATTACHMENTS, binding ATTACHMENTS, repeat for each data item max = 1.
-- Row or Subform DATA, binding DATA[*], repeat for each data item min = 1.
--- Image field ITEM, binding ITEM.
The result is consistently one blank page. No more, no less.
Can anyone help?
Edited by: Eric Hopp on May 12, 2010 12:09 AM

Hello,
I have no experience regarding the table of pictures, but you could try a workaround if you don´t insist of displaying the images. You could attach the pictures as attachments (you know, the little attachments icon on the left in your Reader). The ABAP coding for this can be found in SE38 FP_* and when you check the descriptions you should be able to find the one working with the attachments.
Would be better than nothing I guess,

Adobe form as input to approval workflow

I have not used Adobe form before, so please bare with me! I have a couple of basic questions.
Do I have to download the Adobe designer software from sap marketplace, or is it on the SAPGUI install cd?
Do I need the Adobe designer s/w or is there a sap transaction equivalent?
Can the 'pull downs' in the form get their 'allowed' values from the backend ECC6 system or do they have to be set when creating the form.?
Is there a transaction in ECC6 which a user can run to see all the different forms that have been created?
The intention is to have a form which will be filled in by a user as a request to proceed with a contract specification document, this doc will be a word doc, held in ECC6 in DMS. But the initial form though will go to a number of managers for approval, can a form be 'workflowed' easily, if so, how?
Thanks for your patience.
Jon

Hi John,
Yah, as Surya said,you need ADLC for Adobe forms design. And this available in Service place or even in your SAPGUI CD(You gotta check in FORMS Option enabled).
You can create/change/delete Adobe forms in SAP using SAP Form Painter(SFP txn).
You can create the dropdowns from ECC data.
You can achieve your requirement either using ISR's or using WebDynpro based Adobe forms. Check out my old threads for further information.
Hope this helps.

Adobe form as mail attachment

Hi Experts,
I am using xml based Adobe forms (ordinary print form) in WebDynpro component. I got one requirement to send that form as an attachment to dynamic email id either from form or from WebDynpro component.
I tried using email submit button in adobe form , which allows to specify only static email id.
Please suggest your ideas to send that to dynamic email id.
Regards,
Kiruba.

Hi Kiruba,
This question was addressed multiple times, you sud have searched it first.
have a hidden field in your form
set email id to this field.
have the belocode on click event of the email button.
this.resolveNode("#event.#submit").target = "mailto:"+<your emalid field's rawvalue>
Re: Dynamic E-Mail address in Interactive Forms?
this is the post with the solution and it worked.

Attachments in Adobe form for ISR in Employee Interaction center

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to attach a document to Adobe form which uses ISR scenario.
I am using the attachment option of PDF but the attachment is not going through.
I am using standard ISR scenarion SEIC.
Can anyone please let me know if there is any other method for attaching the doc. to Adobe form and send the Adobe form to agents inbox using Workflow.

Hi Jarret,
For first option {1. You may be able to use the custom event in the adobe form, and attach a script routine to this event to link the attachment to the PDF form.}
Can you please let me know how we can add a custom Event for scripting?
Also i dont know Java script so can you please provide me any reference from where we can start the coding/ writing a Script to add the attachments.
For the second option { 2. Trigger a custom process instead of the ISR from the ESS.}
What custom process can we use. Can we go ahead with HCM forms and processes to achieve the functionality?

Adobe form for leave request

Dear experts,
There is no standard leave request form provided by SAP. We are developing an adobe form which lists the employee's quota and leaves taken earlier along with the current leave details. This form should be displayed to the approvers from the leave workflow.
When the approver clicks on the work item, the leave request form should popup. There are two technical challenges in this requirement -
1. This requirement is similar to the standard ones for travel request and expense request - In travel request and expense request, SAP has provided standard forms and the workflow container is a standard importing parameter in these adobe forms. This container is helpful in deriving most of the content on the adobe form. However, there is no such link in case of leave request. How does the workflow information be passed to the adobe form? ( i will have to display employee details, quota, current leave, approvers list, approvers comments, etc).
2. For leave request, the approval task is TS12300097 that has "Java Webdynpro" as visualization type. Whereas for travel and expense workflow approval tasks, the visualization type is "ABAP Webdynpro". I am assuming the "JAVA WD" will make it really tough to call the adobe form from the work item.
Any thoughts, suggestions on this requirement will be of great help.
Thanks

Hi Abdul
which version u r currently working on?? check in swfvisu t-code where you can find the below task
I'm not that good at technical level, but still I try to help you with my limited knowledge.Instead of trying from binding rule, try with Function Module via BOR Object Method. you can get that function module at the time Adobe form creation. Can't you consider that Adobe form as a attachment in the work item???

Offline Integration of Adobe Forms with CRM System using Web Service

Hi Experts,
I have a business requirement in which the end user us given an Application Form.
The user can save the form locally and fill the data.
Now the requirement is that when the end user clicks on Submit Button on the form, a web service is called and the entire data in the form is sent to CRM System.
I want to know is it possible to capture the entire data filled in the form in a web service???
Also the other major requirement is that i need to send the application form also to the CRM system.
I need to store the form as attachement for a Business Partner Record.
Is it possible to capture the data in the adobe form and still attach the form as attachement in an Offline Scenario????
Is it possible that a Web Service can be called on click of button in the form and still be able to attach the form itself as attachment???
Thanks and Regards

Attach ADOBE form to transaction code.

Dear All,
I have a solution to be implemented wherein I need to attach an offline Interactive Abobe form to a transaction code.
The scenario is the end user has access to this custom transaction code which when he executes should open the form for him. He would then fill in the contents and submit it which would trigger an custom workflow process.
We do not wish to use WebDynpro application and hence would appreciate if any useful information is provided.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks & Regards,
Kavita D.

I am not sure if that is what you want, but what I would do:
1) create a transaction code
2) create a printing program (trivial), set printing settings to immediate preview
3) create an interface and adobe form layout
4) link the transaction and the program together, now when a person runs the transaction, the printing proram gets triggered and as an output it provides a blank (or pre-filled) adobe form
5) now you have the UI ready but miss the way how to trigger the WF from the form
6) to get 5) you need to create a web service and connect the webservice with your adobe form, there are plenty resources on how to do this
7) you should be able to trigger the workflow through a simple adobe form protected as a custom transaction
Hope that suits your needs,
cheers Otto

Adobe form as attachment to user decision step

Hi,
i need to add adobe form as attachement to user decision step in workflow.
1. i created activity step which call business object method with parameters workitem id
     i am using FM SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD’ which will return attribute id
     i am passing that attribute with document id to 'ZSOFM'
        ZSOFM <-----------------------------------ZSOFM (Method to task)
      Bindings 'Attach_objects' <------------- ZSOFM(Task to Workflow).
2. i created user decision step
    Bindings 'Attach_objects' --------------------> 'Attach_Objects'( Workflow to user decision task).
but when we execute first activity step in background i am not getting any PDF output .but when we execute same method from class i can see pdf data is coming is it due to user name WF-Batch.
when i execute activity step in back ground which will have sy-uname as WF-Batch i am not getting any PDF output data.
please help how to solve .
Thanks,
Phani

In transaction SWO1 create a z-object lets say zmyobjpdf (you might want to use it as a sub object of your standard object without delegation since they will probably have the same key).
create a method in that object calling the adobe form.
set it as the default method in the object header.
now create an instance of the zmyobjpdf in the workflow for example as an attribute of the original object) and transfer it to the decision task.
It will be displayed as an attached object pressing it will call the default method - your adobe form.
If your question was about how to create a function module to display the form see SAP Library - PDF-Based Forms

Adobe Interactive Form as an Attachment

Hi we have requirement to make Adobe Interactive Form as an attachment in work item (workflow).
Does any body come across with this requirement? How we make Adobe Interactive Form as an attachment ?
Many thanks

Hi,
i have the same requirement. But im not able to solve this problem by the link, which is posted. I also used the search function, but no results.
I know how to send the Interactive Form via email, and it works nice, but how can i create an object out of the Interactive Form and pass it to a workflow container?
Im using FM SO_OBJECT_INSERT but there is something wrong with the conversion, everytime i try to open the attachment i get a error message that the file is broken.
Any suggestions how to solve it?
Kind Regards
Michael

Workflow for adobe forms

In adobe form when ever user clicks on submit button, then that form should be attached as an attachment and it should go for manager approval,if manager clicks on the attachment that attachment should open . i dnt know how to approach this situvation,how to trigger this workflow..
please any one give me suggestions

Hi TCS Team,
Adobe Form:
There are two different type of adobe form are available
1. Static Form
2. Interactive form
1._Static Form_ : If a form which has been created by a initiator and which should not been changed by his approver/Manager while he is approving / Rejecting the request.
Eg: Viglence clearance certificate
2. Interactive form: If a form which has been created by a initiator can be modified by his approver/Manager for some reason while or before approving / Rejecting the request.
Eg: PR Release: Where the approver may required more clarification on the PR.
In General, both of the form may be used depends upon the requirements. And we have to take it as Adobe form.
Your Query:
"In adobe form when ever user clicks on submit button, then that form should be attached as an attachment and it should go for manager approval,if manager clicks on the attachment that attachment should open . i dnt know how to approach this situvation,how to trigger this workflow.."
I will be explaining you one by one.
1. i dnt know how to approach this situvation,how to trigger this workflow
Triggering of workflow from a EP (i.e. ESS/MSS) Can be done via a RFC calls. We call this as integration of Java webdynpro with SAP Workflow.
There are many Function module available in Standard for this purpose
SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW
SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT
May be used for triggering the workflow.
While Triggering the workflow you have get the PDF (ADOBE Form) into this import parameter
IFS_XML_CONTAINER as a string value, and update the same in the INPUT_CONTAINER (EVENT CONTAINER).
Then Pass the value to your workflow container.
Use the following FM to write the value in task container.
SAP_WAPI_WRITE_CONTAINER
If the same pdf has to be displayed in approvers inbox while he clicks the attachment use the followin FM
SAP_WAPI_READ_CONTAINER
For Attaching the PDF form into the Workitem
SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD
And for Reading the attachment in the workitem use this FM
SAP_WAPI_GET_ATTACHMENTS
If you have any further clarification, please post the same.
Thanks and Regards
