Adobe Form in NWDS

Hi experts,
I m trying to create a form template (adobe form) in NWDS SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio
SAP NetWeaver 7.3 SP04 PAT0000. I get the following error :
Could not open the editor: The required plug-in com.sap.ide.adobelifecycledesigner is missing. Install all required plug-ins.
Has anyone some links for downloads ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
the Adobe Designer requires some native libraries that have to be installed manually beforehand. You can find these libraries on the NWDS update site on Service Marketplace. There is a link to all pre-requisites. In 7.20 these components have been installed automatically. However, in 7.30 this has to be done manually.
Best regards,
Stefan

Stuck with install/first use of Adobe forms in NWDS

Hi
I'm trying to use interactive forms in NWDS, but there seems to be nowhere in NWDS that I can access anything Adobe like. I'm not sure if this a very simple thing I'm missing in NWDS, or my installation has gone wrong.
From the beginning, I've installed Web AS ABAP+Java plugin 2004s SP6, running under linux. Everything starts up fine.
I'm running Windows XP on a virtual box to install SAPGUI 7.10 and NWDS 7.0.12. Can connect with SAPGUI and from NWDS to J2EE message server.
Installed Adobe Live Cycle Designer 7.1 (as not part of NWDS installation - 816065) plus patch plus xACF. Registered WDAbobeControl.dll according to 822198.
Tested successfully Adobe Webservices from browser, but do get an 500 error when called from within NWDS.
To start using forms, what should I do next ? I've tried creating a webdynpro project, but there's no indication of how to call a layout.
Any successful pointers rewarded with, er, points
Thanks, Phil

hi Philip,
Have you installed and configured ADS on your server.
without ADS... you cant work on your interactive forms.
check the following points
(this is an old version of requirements but still will help)
2-1 The SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio (Support Package Stack 11) including Adobe LiveCycle Designer (forms design tool) is installed on your computer.
2-2 You have access to the SAP J2EE Engine (Release 6.40). (Note that you can download an evaluation version (Sneak Preview SAP Web Application Server 6.40 Java) from the SDN Download Area at https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/downloadarea.sdn.)
2-3 Adobe Reader 7.0.x is installed on your computer.
2-4 The Active Component Framework (ACF) of the Interactive Forms integration is installed on your computer. With SP Stack 11, calling a Web Dynpro application that includes a PDF form for the first time should automatically install the ACF in the background. If you experience
difficulties that may be related to the frontend installation, please see SAP Note 766191 on the SAP Service Marketplace for manual installation.
2-5 The Adobe document services are configured on the SAP J2EE Engine you are using. To access the Installation and Configuration Guides for Adobe document services, go to http://service.sap.com/nw04installation → SAP Web AS → SAP Web AS 6.40 SR1 and Related Documentation → Adobe Document Services.
2-6 Basic knowledge of developing Web Dynpro applications. For helpful information about Web Dynpro, go to https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/developerareas/webdynpro.sdn?node=linkDnode6-2.

-ag.

How to combine two or more adobe forms in Java web dynpro

Hi All,
I have a scenario where I have few screens each - a separate adobe form. For e.g. One adobe form for item creation, one fore details, one for planning. I need to combine all this into one and save a copy of the PDF.
Save PDF option is present in the adobe options but it saves only the current form. I want to combine few forms and save the whole thing into 1 PDF document. Is there anyway we can do this?
I am using web dypro java for Adobe forms on NWDS 7.0
Adobe Live cycle designer - 7.1
Adobe Reader - 8.1
SAP NW SP 12
PLease help!
Thank you,
Vasu

Hi Amit,
Thanks for the response but my requirement is different.
I have to combine the contents of three PDFs (different adobe forms in different views in one web dynpro component) into one PDF ( a separate Adobe Form in different view in the same web dypro component).
I would be glad to know if you have a solution for such scenario. I am working on this since 4 days with no solution yet.
Thank you,
Vasu

Issue with interactive adobe forms in webdynpro JAVA

hi all,
I have added new field in interactive adobe form in NWDS and also did required changes to RFC function module which extract the data from database tables. Also, i have mapped the exporting parameter of the function module with newly added field on the interactive adobe form. After all required changes i did manual deployment of .EAR, .XDP and .WDP files in J2EE server (my client doesnt have auto deployment like right click on the project and click on deploy). After doing the manual deploy, i do see new filed on the interactive adobe form, but i do not see any value in that new field. I wanted to know am i missing any other step in deploy or what i am missing.
FYI.. i also tried restarting the J2EE server, still no use.
Could any one please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Chandra

You found it? Use "Open" instead of "show" and it will work like ours.

Adobe Form unable to Save work

Hi All,
I'm creating a Adobe Form via NWDS. under the View -> Layout -> InteractiveForms-> Edit(right click), I've created some input fields and display fields. Then save all MetaData, Rebuild project.
After that when I'm trying to edit the Form again via Layout -> Interactive Form -> Edit(right click). The form turn out to be empty again. It seems like nothing is being save
Anyone know what happen and how to solve it ? Thanks.

Hi
If you want to edit the form from within WD, make sure that a white window pops up, telling you that DTR has realized that someone is editing the file. Otherwise nothing will ever be saved. You must be connected to NWDI for this to work.
Another solution is the following:
1. Go to the place where your xdp-File lies (eg: C:\..\.dtc\0\DCs\sap.com\<Project name>\_comp\src\configuration\Components\<componentname>/<filename>.xdp
2. Copy the file to some other place (remove write protection)
3. Doubleclick the file - Adobe Lifecycle Designer opens
4. After editing, save the file, set the write protection again and copy the file back to its place under your project directory
5. In DTR-view of Developer Studio add the file manually to an activity (click through the inactive tree structure and right click on the file-> DTR->edit)
That way you can savely edit the file (make lots of security copies) and you don't have to use the plug in editor from WD.

Error in Simple Adobe Form

Hi ,
I have gone through this below PDF
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e0401535-f81c-2a10-0192- ffd41e8e8d59
It is Simple Adobe Form with two fields(Firstname and Last name ) not table. I am getting UI Interactive form but not getting PDF. I am using NWDS 7.0.15 and Adobe Live Cycle Designer 7.1.
Please help me out.
Thanks
Risha

Hi Risha,
In NWDS Web Dynpro perspective, when you create a project, you will be able to create an InteractiveForm UI Element in any view. You need to set the 'datasource' property to some context node with attributes. You open the Adobe Designer for this InteractiveForm UI Element by choosing the context menu option 'Edit'. You can create some form elemnts for it by dragging the attributes of the binded datasource node from 'Data View' to the form preview area. When you build, deploy & run your application after this, you get this form in the browser. You can now save this form as pdf.
You can refer to https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/user-interface-technology/wd%20java/7.0/adobe/how%20to%20handle%20table%20input%20and%20output.pdf (Using Table in Adobe Form)
Hope this helps you.
Kind Regards,
Nitin

Adobe Form Error: Invalid Response Code: (401) Unauthorized. The request...

When trying to run an Adobe Form webdynpro app, I am receiving the following error:
Invalid Response Code: (401) Unauthorized. The requested URL was:"http://localhost:50000/AdobeDocumentServices/Config?style=document"
I have checked the ADS test at <server:port>/AdobeDocumentServices/Config; the test did return the version number.
Does anyone have any other ideas of what I should check?
Also, why is it running a url with "localhost" in it? If this is running on the java was server, then I guess that could make sense. But if the url request is requesting something from localhost, isn't that my computer? I guess it depends on if this is a server request or a client request. I hope this is a server request.

Sumit -
First, I think config is okay. I can run the web service under my id okay.
Second, I am not sure what the impact is having the build done locally.
I am building and deploying locally in NWDS to my local portal. But then I am sending the EAR file to the system admin to deploy to my dev server (I am doing this because they will not give out the SDM password. And, I am waiting on the NWDI setup to be complete; when that is complete I will let NWDI deploy to the dev portal.)
Incidentally, I am receiving this error on the dev server, not my local portal. (I have tried running on my local portal, but I am getting a socket timeout error. But this is interesting, because I can run other webdynpro non-Adobe apps. I am not tracking down this error at this point because I am really just interested in the dev server. If I get past the 401 error on the dev server, and then get the socket timout issue...then I will worry about it.)

How to use MICR fonts in Adobe forms (webdynpro java

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to print some MICR codes (for checks) through Adobe Forms.
I have installed some true type MICR fonts in windows and Adobe Font Manager (in ADS) as well.
It is visible in the Adobe Form design time (Font palette) and when I use the font for text, it is visible in preview too. But when I run the web dynpro application, in the online form it is converted into Standard font (Times new Roman).
Is there anyway to handle this issue.
Please let me know.
I am using NWDS 7.0.1

How to Change the Visible property of Adobe Form Dynamically - URGENT

Hi,
    I am woking on a scenario where when I click a button in Adobe Form,
another Adobe Form should be displayed. This is using Web Dynpro Java.
For this I have made the second form invisible and I want to make this VISIBLE when the button is Clicked. I am unable to get a method where this property of interactive form can be changed.
Also, If there is any other way this can be done please let me know.
I am using NWDS 7.0.09 with Adobe Live cycle designer 7.1.
Thanks in Advance,
Vasu

You need to get the handler to the adobe form in your webdynpro program. If you are using webdynpro for java the following code snipped could be useful...
IWDPDFDocumentInteractiveFormHandler iFormHandler = WDPDFDocumentFactory.getDocumentHandler(wdThis.wdGetAPI(),"YourAdobeForm");
     // Get appearance setter.
     IWDPDFDocumentAppearance appearance =
          iFormHandler.getDocumentContext().getAppearance();
     //appearance.
     // Set page layout option
     appearance.setPageLayout(pageLayoutOption);
     // Set show option.
     appearance.setShowOption(showOption);
     // Hide menu bar.
     appearance.hideMenuBar(true);
     // Hide tool bars.
     appearance.hideToolBars(true);
     // Hide window controls.
     appearance.hideWindowControl(true);
     // Show full screen.
     appearance.showFullScreen(true);

Can we store values @run time in Adobe Forms when there are multiple views

Hi,
I am new to Web dynpro Java - Adobe Forms. I working on a solution for the following scenario.
I have 3 Views (each an adobe Form) in a web dynpro component.
I have to capture the user entered values in View1 and View2 (PDFs) and display them in VIew 3 (another PDF)
I am able to capture the values in the recent view. (view2) but the values from the view1(Context elements ) are cleared.
Can I hold or store the values from the first view like we do in java using session variables??
Also, if there is any other way out, please let me know.

How to use Adobe forms in ABAP

Hello Everybody,
I have used Adobe forms in webdynpro applications. Now, i want to use adobe forms in ABAP stack. Please provide me steps and guidelines to develop Adobe forms in ABAP.
What should be the infrastructure needed for that?
Thanks in Advance,
Bhavik

Hi Bhavik,
there is extensive documentation on creating PDF-based forms for printing in ABAP Workbench (transaction SFP) on the SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d2/4a94696de6429cada345c12098b009/frameset.htm.
The infrastructure is identical (ADS on Java Engine) except that you need an ABAP backend (minimum 6.40) and the corresponding SAP GUI. You also need to create an HTTP connection from your ABAP system to the ADS in transaction SM59 (see ADS Configuration Guide).
Your Adobe LiveCycle Designer installation from the NWDS should be OK, if you are working on the same frontend. (If you have difficulties with Designer, uninstall it and install it with the SAP GUI again).
Note that Web Dynpro for ABAP integration is only supported as of NetWeaver 2004s (going into ramp-up with mySAP ERP 2005 this month), which means that interactive scenarios are more cumbersome to implement in ABAP with NetWeaver 04.
Some of the things you get with the Web Dynpro framework (such as the return of data in interactive scenarios via the WD context) would need to be manually coded when working in SFP, which was designed for output forms.
Hope this helps,

Problems with Image Field Table in Adobe Forms

Hello,
I have a desgined a Adobe Form(Print Only) in the Adobe Desinger in NWDS.
The form layout contains a table of images in 2 columns and 3 rows. Every Column has a Image Field and a TextField displaying the Image URL.
The URL of this image is passed at runtime.
The problem is that when the form is rendered, All the Columns have the same image which is the URL in the first row first column. However the text field displays the correct URL.
Is this some known bug in the Adobe Forms, or I am missing some property.
Regards,
Shubham

Hi,
The solution was to put the following code in the initialize event of the image field.
this.value.image.href = <Photoimagepath>.rawValue;
Where <Photoimagepath> is the image path.
