Adobe form control (normally for IE)

HI All,
I'm trying to fill in this tax office online form, which is actually meant for IE... Apparrently you can ONLY use IE. Blaarr so annoying...
So Im trying to figure out a way to:
A. Get IE on my mac (or secure emulator which will let me print/save the output of the form)
OR
B. Some type of plug in??
HELP?
This is the form BTW:

Fanks,

You will need to use IE, so you will need Windows in one form or another. For this purpose a free VM (and a not free copy of Windows) will do the job. Use VirtualBox.
It is possible that you might be able to do this without Windows (using Crossover) but I am not familiar enough with it to advise.

Call for adobe form is going for dump for multiple users

hi,
i am calling an adobe form in a program i.e. for multiple users. now my problem is.....
3 people are using same tcode to generate the adobe form output for different data. but when they click at a time on the button to generate the adobe output, then adobe form is coming for only one user and it is going for dump for other users.
and this dump is coming because of exception "CX_FP_API_INTERNAL" in funtion module FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME which i am using to get the function module name of the adobe form in my program.
can u please give me some solution to rectify this issue....

That's nothing!
An engineer and I contacted Adobe technical support by phone to ensure the PC I was having custom built was configured to its optimum. They advised XP64 as the best operating environment. After that discussion we had to completely revise procurement, etc to get the bits and compatible XP64 compatible software, putting the build project back a few weeks as well, Imagine how I laughed when I found out on one of these forums that XP64 is the worst choice and totally unsupported by CS4!
I have written to Shantanu Narayen, Adobe CEO and didn't even get an acknowledgement I raised this last week on the Adobe stand at BVE and was told they'd get someone to contact me asap but guess what, niet...! To be fair there has been one Adobe executive that recognises the problem and the damage poor customer support is causing the company; he has been as helpful as he can. Unfortunately, it seems the overall Adobe culture at the top is "get the money and run". If your problem goes beyond what's already on their web pages, tough luck!

Eventing on the ADOBE form controls.

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement where I need to populate some fields of my ADOBE form based on a value selected from the dropdown in the same form.
Lets say I have a dropdown DD1 on my form and I have other 3 input fields namely Input1, 2 and 3. Now when I select any value from DD1, I need to call an RFC (or Webservice) and populate return values in input fields.
1. How is it doable?
2. Can I implement this for offline forms?
Do not worry about reward points, you will get it for every valuable input.
Thank you.

Adobe Forms: Best way for logging?

Hi,
we're using Adobe Forms having very complex forms partially.
Because of it's complexity, the implementation is not free from defects. That's why I thought about proper logging of what users do within the form.
What's the best way to achieve this?
I thought of console messages - but this would require the user to send us the document in case of an error.
I also thought of writing a logging file in a central directory that all users have access to. But I don't know if this is even possible?
Does anyone have experience with proper logging of user actions in forms?
Thanks and BR Matthias

Something not secret could be a report button which generates information ready for the user to copy/paste into an email. Not sure of the best way to offer a large body of copyable text, any ideas?
A dialog box with a large, multi-line text field, where you can place the text and the user can copy it to an email and send to you. You can even generate the blank email message using a launchURL and a mailto command.

How to configure adobe forms in OMLV for printing picking slip

Hello,
I want to configure a adobe form in OMLV transaction. But there is no column for putting adobe forms.
Can you tell me how do configure adobe forms for getting it printed from standard transaction whenever a transfer order is created.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ajay,
You are completely right that you cannot find anything with smartform in the customizing (OMLV). The reason for it: It is not there. It not even exists. Also the latest version of rlvsdr40 has nothing standard concerning smartforms.
I do not know why it is really necessary to use adobe or smartforms.
The only way is to build a new one (ZRLVSDR40). In that new one you have to use the sapscriptname (from OMLV)and treat it as a smartform- name.
I hope my explanation helps. Success.

ADOBE form - page reset for the second SO

Hi all,
Iam working on sales order form ( ADOBE Form). Nneed to display SO header and item details.But it is not for a single SO and it is for multiple SOs.First i need to display one sales order and its items after completing the all items of the first SO , the second SO details should come in the next page. This is fine, i have done this, but for the second SO the page numbers should start from 1. That means the page no has to be reset for each SO change.Suppose assume that, if the first SO is taking 2 pages for printing item details and second SO is taking 3 pages for printing item details then the page nos should follows the below sequence:
First SO : 1 of 2
                2 of 2
second SO : 1 of 3
                    2 of 3
                    3 of 3.
but it is printing as 1 of 5, 2 of 5 ..... like this. Because we are using the system field for this.Can we reset the page numbers according to the condition?

Hi,
One addition to the previous answer. You need to set the Output device in the program itself and the nodialog field of the outputparams should be set to 'X'. For example you can go through the below code.
DATA:
w_formname TYPE fpname,
w_function TYPE funcname.
DATA : docparams TYPE sfpdocparams.
DATA : formoutput TYPE fpformoutput.
DATA : outputparams TYPE sfpoutputparams.
DATA:
      BEGIN OF fs_orders,
        vbeln TYPE vbak-vbeln,
      END OF fs_orders,
      t_orders LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF fs_orders.

Weird character 'u00A4' display at output of ADOBE form in SAP for amount

When display pattern for amount field is set for ADOBE form in SAP, output displays ' ¤ '.
All display patterns shows '$' at the begining, but when output is generated it displays '¤'.
Advice me how to eliminate this. (or)
Is there a way to hide this character.

I am not saying this is your problem BUT I was troubled for quite a while by having unprintable characters imbedded within text fields. It turns out that Ctrl V character was being embedded within text by user.
So I suggest that you view the data while in debug and do it in hex. This was the only way I was able to see that I had a problem with the text itself. Then I was able to add logic to filter for these errors.

Adobe Form - Object property for FormCalc/Javascript

Hi All
I'm learning to use Adobe Form - FormCalc/Javascript - In some of the examples that I have seen fofar
the codes (FormCalc/Javascript) used a qualified name of an object property for setting value i.e.
In FormCalc:
DateTimeField1.rawValue = num2date(date(), DateFmt(3))
In Javascript:
this.rawValue = xfa.layout.pageCount();
pantsWaist.border.edge.color.value = "255,0,0";
pantsLength.presence = "hidden"
etc..
Could someone please tell me how/where I can get the property list that available for an object ?
(i.e. rawValue, presence, value etc...) I can't see on the Form builder (sorry for such a novice question - but as I said I am very new)
Thanks
Points will be rewarded for any reply -

Hi Liem,
Whenever u press a "." after any oject say $ in FormCalc, or this in Javascript u will find relative properties that u can set at that time for the mentioned object.
try this, place a Text field, select that and go to script editor, select language FormCalc:
write $. and u will find a dropdown that'll show u possible list of properties u can change.
Similarly, if u try this with "this." in JavaScript another dropdown will show u possible list of properties that u can change.
Hope this helps

Adobe Form: Dynamic vlaue for Include text name. Script Coding

Hi,
Situtation:
Need to print an 'Include Text' in the Adobe form.
The key texname for the include name is dynamic - invoice number + position number.
I have created a Global Data variable item_textkey and assigned it to the inculde textname in 'Context'.
The Problem is I dont know how or where to assign a value to this global data variable at runtime, so the right include text is pulled up.
I tried the code in the "FormCalc' of the text field. But it doesnt work.
$record.ITEM_TEXTKEY = Concat ($record.IS_VBDKR.VBELN, $record.IS_VBDPR.POSNR)

Try the following in initialize event of the main subform
$record.ITEM_TEXTKEY.rawValue = Concat ($record.IS_VBDKR.VBELN.rawValue, $record.IS_VBDPR.POSNR.rawValue)

Adobe Form - Data Binding for static text

Hi Experts,
I'm trying to create a new label with Adobe Forms (not interactive).
So I've created an interface with a table LABEL_DATA (import) and many variables (import) and a new Form with Layout.
I tried to bind some text fields with the imported variables und fields from the table, they're all available in the context, but all fields are still empty (preview and print).
Field are Text Fields
Type is : Read Only
Data Binding is : $record.LABEL_DATA.KDMAT
Can someone please help me?
Thank you.
Regards,
David

Hello David,
In your interface, have you declared LABEL_DATA as GLOBAL Data ?
You can fill the table and variables in the INITIALISATION in the interface.
Then you can use the Global table and variables in the form.
In case you are missing some values; you can debug the code in INITIALISATION section. Get the import tables in INITIALISATION and filter the required values into Global Table and variables.

Sandy

PCR with Adobe forms for MySAP ERP2004 / NW04 SP9

Hi all,
We would like to use the MSS PCR functionality with Adobe forms. Since we are using NW04 SP9 and MySAP ERP2004 (ECC5.0), we cannot use the Adobe forms yet.
SAP said this functionality will be released today (15/11).
I am wondering what we need to upgrade to get this working. Is this a bug in ECC, in Adobe Forms, WebDynpro (BP for MSS) or a PCUI_GP bug?
regards,
Noel

Hi Heike,
Good to know these forms are only available in German and English. I assume we can translate them ourselves and use them.
We tried to get the 2 scenarios working, but every time we run into a problem: "Template could not be read from the backend". For this we already created a customer message, but it takes quite a while for an answer. Not strange, since it is new and hot technology
We have 2 servers now: One is the application server (with WebDynpro, R/3 backend, ECC50) - Java and ABAP stack installed (AIX).
On the other server we have running the portal and Adobe Document Server. This runs only on a Java stack (NT).
In the Adobe Configuration Guide we ran against a problem configuring the DestinationService (Basic authentication on the ABAP side). On the Java/ABAP server (server 1) we need to configure the com.adobe/AdobeDocumentService classes (security). Since Adobe is installed on server 2 (without the ABAP stack), we cannot configure the basic authentication properly (if we follow the guideliness).
Regards,
Noel

Web Dynpro for ABAP Adobe Forms

We have created a table with fields.
How can we create a Web Dynpro for ABAP applicaton to populate these fields into an Adobe Form?

hi,
Refer this: /people/bhawanidutt.dabral/blog/2007/11/15/how-to133-integrate-adobe-form-on-webdynpro-for-abap-and-deploy-it-on-portal
If you have created Fields or Table in Adobe form then you can populate those fields in Adobe form.
When you give the name of Adobe form in the Template Source Property of Interactive UI then screen will pop up asking to make contexts for the fields in adobe form.
If you click on yes, then you will have automatically created context corresponding to Fields or Table in your WD application.
Write the suitable logic to populate the Contexts in Wd Do init or using supply funciton
This way your Adobe form will be populated with values.
I hope it helps.
Thanx.
Saurav.

We have scenario where we are creating a custom HR interative adobe form in EP for creating a position .After entering the details and when it is submitted it should trigger a custom workflow which goes through a series of approvals via UWL and finally it should update the R/3.
The data is not getting stored in any temporary table in between the approvals.Only the form contains the data and
we are using the HCM process and forms NOt PCRs.
My questions are:
1) How should i proceed to send the adobe form from portal to the backend workflow for the approvals.
2) what are the things i need to configure?
3) do i need t create any custom BO or tasks? if not
4) what are the standard existing BO and standard tasks can i use and
5) how can i use them.
Please tell me in detail to proceed further.
Helpful answers will be definitely appreciated.

Adobe Forms in Guided Procedures

Hi all,
I have the 'My First Days' Guided Procedure assinged to a user and am trying to customize it for a demo. I am trying to display an adobe form in a separate section in the My First Days Procedure and so far have been able to configure the action and block in order to display the adobe form.
When i try to add the Adobe form as a 'Interactive form' type, it gives me an error saying 'Could not retrieve template fields: Wrong document format or adapter mismatch.'
I have checked the adobe configuration and it seems to be working fine. Can anyone tell me why i get this error and what is the best way to resolve this issue?
Also, if Adobe forms work fine for manager self service in our systems, should they work fine in the Guided Procedures too ?
Thanks,
Bhushan.

Dear Alan,
Yes i have generated the form's submit URL... It works fine when the pdf is saved in the users desktop and upon clicking the submit button it kicks of a Process with a Visual Approval callable object..
However my requirement is that the Adobe form be submitted online during GP runtime.. The process is initiated by the User in the portal (not offline) who wants to put in a request. When the user initiates a process an Adobe form is opened to him in which he fills in his request. This request is then <b>forwarded for Approval</b>.. After Approval a digital signature need to be attached to the document and further on it needs to be sent out to other User Groups.. In case the request is <b>rejected</b> then the control goes back to the requestor who can either modify his request and send it again for approval or simply delete the request.. Throughout the whole process Print of the request can be taken at any time. Considering the requirements of Print & Digital signature i think using Adobe would be the way to go.. What do you think about implementing such a requirement in GP with Adobe UIs? Is it the right way of going about it?
Quite an interesting nut to crack.. Ain't it ??
Cheers
Nitesh

Adobe form - Printing images dynamically

I have created a simple read-only (not interactive) Adobe form. At the end of the document, I need to print a signature depending upon the approver (which I can access from the data structure imported into the form.).
If I create an image field, how do I assign the image dynamically depending on the approver?
I have thought of an alternative solution of creating 3 separate forms each with a static image of the signature and calling a separate form in the program depending on the approver. But I was wondering if I can assign images dynamically so that I can have only one form.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
