ADOBE form design in webdynpro JAVA

Hi,
I am very new in ADOBE. Someone can send the step by step method for developing the application in webdynpro java.?
Thanks,
Kundan Kumar

Hi Kundan,
Welcome to the Adobe arena..!
Well how familer are you with Web Dynpro...?
I can explain the procedue at a higher level, for a detailed step by step example you can check in NWDS help or couple of blogs here.
Adobe component in web dynpro is like any other ui Component to your view.
when you add this component you need to specify the WDJ view's context (this can be from a node level not only entire context) to this component's data source.
once both are done when you click on the component in the view it will navigate to ADLC (adobe live cycle designer) where you can design your form.
Remember that you specified the WDJ vie'ws context as data source to this component, thus in the ADLC you will see this context in the data view which would carry your data from wdj view to this form.
Again here similar to WDJ what ever you set to this context would flow tru and backwards.
try with this approach and on a simple scenario followed by some bolgs here.
Follow the below link for some examples in SDN.

WD ABAP : Libraries/Elements in Adobe Form Designer

Hello,
Could anyone tellme how shall I get elements like 'Hide Reader Toolbar' and 'Submit to SAP' button in Adobe form Designer when using in Web dynpro ABAP.
I have installed adobe form designer from Gui 6.40 DVD.
Regards,
Ahmad

This happened to me once. I lost the entire WebDynpro Library Group. I went into the design and right mouse clicked in the Library Area. I then added my own Web Dynpro Group. This should create a directory. You can see all of these directories in you documents and settings directory under Application Data\Adobe\Designer\<lang>\objects. For instance mine is: C:\Documents and Settings\i809764\Application Data\Adobe\Designer\en\objects
I then copied all the files from the WebDynpro directory into the one I had just created. You could try changing the library Group Properties to point to the correct location. If you are just missing some of the elements, check the same directory and make sure their XFO files are there.

Using Adobe form designer in ABAP Workbench

Hi,
I am trying to do a POC on PDF generations from ABAP workbench( not from Net weaver developer studio) .
Right now when I go into SFP transaction and clcik on layout tab it gives me error saying 'Error occured in communicating with layout editor' . i am thinking this may be because of i dont have Adobe form designer on my machine. Is it needs to be installed on sever or each machine.
Can anyone guide me on how to start.
Regards
MB

The designer is required, but it is included with the SAPGui 640 (if you choose it in the installation). If you are on SP12 or higher you need an update to the designer that doesn't come with the SAPGui (Designer 7.0). You can download this by itself from the Service Marketplace. There is an OSS note with install instructions. You do have to remove any old versions before you install the new one.

How to implement Search Help in Interacive Form based on WebDynpro Java?

Hi Experts,
How to implement Search Help in Interacive Form based on WebDynpro Java?
Could someone please provide the prerequisites and the code for the same.

Extend the controller and get the handle of the current row of the VO. Set set the attribute context filed accordingly. Also get the handle fo the flexbean and set the context. According rendering would change.

PDF Forms embedded in Webdynpro Java - Can eCATT recognize???

Hi All,
Will eCATT be able to identify the PDF forms embedded in Webdynpro Java applications.....
Thanks in Advance
Puru

I think it will not. I am almost sure it will not. Any new complex screens are a challenge to eCATT. Flash, Flex and sometimes even trees.

DB2 Connectivity Trough ADO Objects in Adobe Form Designer

Hi,
We are using
Adobe Workflow Server 6.2 and
Adobe Form Designer 5 to develop forms. In forms we have to display some information retrieved from IBM's DB2 database at two different stages. First at the beginning of the process, for which we have scripts in the process which are working fine. Second at run time, i.e., the user will enter ID of an employee and we have to retrieve the corresponding information of that employee. For that we are using ADO objects, provided in the form designer.
The problem that we are facing is that these forms uses ActiveX controls and they are executed on the client's PC. At run time when we try to access the DB2 database we get an ODBC error:
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified, because the DSN is on the server not on the client's PC. The forms are working fine on those PC that have DB2 client installed on them.
We want that ADO object to be executed on the server not on the client's PC. Is there any way or doing so? Or is there any other solution?
Please let me know asap as I have been facing this problem for many days.
Thanks.
--Khan.

Khan--
Your best bet in my opinion would be to drop the use of the Adobe ADO Object and switch to one of the following db connectivity scenarios.
- MS Remote \ RDS; has some MS security draw backs but allows remote access to a db from a single DSN.
"+" : Much faster to deliver
"-" : Have to work around MS server \ browser security issues
- Custom solution using xml DOM \ SOAP calls to pass your data requirements to an ASP \ ASP.NET component. This component would be used to execute the sql statement read from xml package then return that result back to the form.
"+" : Increase in performance due to server side execution, very little MS Security implications
"-" : Not a quick solution to build as it involves many different components to function
Hope this helps somewhat...

Embedding an existing Adobe Form into a Webdynpro Application

Hi Everyone,
I have an existing adobe form created thro transaction SFP and its working well.
I need to launch the form with a Webdynpro application now. I was able to embed the adobe form into the Webdynpro View. The View's context is supposed to pick up the context of the adobe form automatically.
However I am getting the following error - Either your Interactive form UI element is not bound to a context or a corresponding context does not exist.
I am not sure how to proceed coz the I executed the Adobe from in SFP and its working perfectly and obviously its bound to a context/ interface.
Any Ideas?
thanks for your suggestions in advance !
Liz

Pradeep,
You are right. This time I could bind the context from my interface (even though it was ABAP based).
I have one quick one for you - you mentioned earlier that when we embed an existing form into Web. View, we cannot have an Interactive form even when we check the 'enabled' property. Can you throw more light onto this pls?
The runtime error that i am encountering now says :
Adobe Processing Exception: PDF is not interactive. Data can be only imported into Interactive forms.
the source text of error is:
get result
m_pdf_object->get_document ( importing pdfdata = pdf ).
catch cx_fp_exception into lr_fpexc.
raise exception type cx_wd_general
exporting
previous = lr_fpexc
and this exception is not caught ! I am still lost
thanks again for your help!
Liz

Adobe Forms Designed

Hi All,
I need to develop Adobe forms. When I go to Layout editor using transaction SFP, it gives me an error that Adobe Forms designer needs to be installed on desktop. I have SAP GUI installed locally on my machine and probably need to install Adobe Forms designer locally on my machine. Does anyone know where I can download this software from? The one available on service.sap.com is for the server not for the desktop.
Any ideas where I can get it from?
Thank in advance.

Hi,
you need to install Adobe Lifecycle Designer and install it on your desktop. You can download it from service.sap.com Check FAQs of interactive forms

Adobe Form Designer 5 upgrade to Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7

Hello,
Our team will begin the upgrade process from Adobe Form Designer/Form Server 5 to Adobe LiveCycle Designer/Forms 7 later this month. We've been told by Adobe that this is a significant upgrade.
For those of you that have already been through the process, do you have any advice, lessons-learned, etc. to offer?
Much appreciated,
MM

I'd have to agree that it is a significant upgrade. Perhaps not for features/benefits but in effort.
I can't provide any specifics because we chose not to convert but I can give you an idea on what tasks you might encounter.
I hope you don't have many forms and very little VBScript or default scripting and don't use the API for presenting forms for filling.
We have lots of forms (150 presentation screens [forms] producing 500+ printed forms via the Central Pro Output Server). All the presentation screens use VBScript and they are presented to the user with a VB program using the API. To get the capabilities we needed we used all the stuff that makes the conversion a major effort.
We would have to learn the software, redo the presentation screens, learn the new data model, learn JavaScript, rewrite, test and debug 100s of lines of scripting and learn the new API and rewrite the presentation program. And then to top it all off we would probably have to purchase the horrendously expensive Reader Extension software.
We don't have the staff, time or money for that effort. Besides, we are still in the process of converting forms from our older systems and doing a conversion in the middle of the conversion just doesn't make sense.
All the postings for help in these forums also makes me extremely leary. At least Adobe has put staff to actually helping customers that post here. To begin with that wasn't occurring.

Adobe form designer

Hello!
As I read, there was no adobe pdf form designer in the netweaver development studio. Also I read, that late this year, there should be a new preview release, in which the adobe designer will be integrated. Is the download already the new one? This would be a nice info before downloading 750mb. Is there a download only for the adobe designer for the WAS preview?
Thanks for answers.

It is correct that the Designer and Adobe document services are not part of the current Sneak Preview version. There will be a new version this year containing the Adobe tools, but unfortunately no statements can be made at this point as to when the version will be available in SDN.
Kind regards,

Adobe form print - ADS - without Java engine

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to use the ADS (Adobe Document Service) to print Adobe form WITHOUT active Java (J2EE) engine? If yes, how can I manage to work?
What about using the Virtual Machine Container (VMC) for this purphose?
Currently when I select the document template at runtime the following error message comes up:
"Error in creating PDF from template: Invalid HTTP connection: ADS"
At help.sap I have read that the ADS runs in Web AS Java. Is it really impossible to print Adobe form without active Java engine on our CRM 7.0 EhP1?
Thanks in advance for any help!
BR,
Gabor

Hi,
Referring to the [help.sap|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/37/504b8cbc2848a494facfdc09a359b1/frameset.htm] link under section 'Running Adobe Document Services' the question is answered.
So the SAP NetWeaver AS Java is a must for ADS.
