Adobe form / interactive form

Hi all,
I am trying to create a printable adobe form that will be called within a program. I created the program that calls the different function modules and the adobe form via SFP. Now I am trying to insert a field into the form which should be open for input. The users just want to add something into this field and then print it. So the input should be saved in the adobe doc. or be printed.
Is this possible? How can I do this. Any idea?
I tried to set the parameters of the field and also set the export parameter '/1bcdwb/docparams' of the module calling the form to 'fp_docparams-fillable = 'X'. This doesn't work.
Thanks and best regards,
Viktoria

Adobe Designer - Interactive form/template (visible but don't print messges

Hello,
I'm making a interactive form or template with Adobe Designer, in which I have one object field and a few text fields.
What I need to do is add messages on those fields so the person using the interactive form/template can know what to input in each field and were the fields are since they don't have border or background. For example I need to have a message like this: "click here to add your logo" in the object field, those messages can't be printed since they are just instrucctions for the person using the form/template.
I tried the Tooltip but since the fields can have border people won't know were the fields are and the Tooltip only works when you place the cursor on the field.
Any suggestions?

The input parameters you are seeing in a 'Web Dynpro like' form are more than likely input parameters to the process. Process input parameters come from action input parameters in process blocks and actions that are not mapped. Given that, it sounds like you have not mapped all the input parameters for one or more of your actions in your process. By default, GP provides the process initiator the ability to specify the values of these inputs when a process is started. To avoid this you can either,
1. Map all the input parameters.
2. Specify the process to start automatically under the 'Instantiation' tab for the process template. By selecting this, input parameters are ignored and their default values used.
3. Don't expose these parameters if they are not required or applicable to your process. This can be done at the action or block level under the 'Parameters' tab.

Error during activation of adobe non-interactive form

Hello everyone,
I am trying to activate a non-interactive adobe form and am getting the below error:-
"Field p_lifnr has a conversion routine(see SAP note 796755)".
I have made sure that this field (which is corresponding to LFA1-lifnr) has context binding, I even tried using below code in its interface:-
GET PARAMETER ID 'LIF' FIELD p_lifnr.
and also tried the below:-
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
        EXPORTING
          input = p_lifnr
        IMPORTING
          output = p_lifnr.
just in case..
but all above in vain,can someone let me know what might be the problem....or where would I find this 'SAP note 796755' ?
Thanks,
Rachna.

Hi,
I am facing the same problem of "Error during activation" while activating the SAP interactive form.
I am using ECC 6.0, ADL 7.1 and Adobe reader 8.0
Could you please suggest a way out.
Thank You

Export data to adobe non interactive form

Hello,
I would like to fill a non interactive adobe form with seized data in visual composer.
How I can do that please ?

Tony-
I have not worked with Adobe Forms so I am not sure if this is feasible. If I had to populate a Web Dynpro form with data from a VC form I would have an action which would invoke the URL of the Web Dynpro application. This URL would have appended to it the field name and values as entered in the VC form. In the Web Dynpro component I would retrieve all the parameter values being passed through the URL and then set these values into the context. If the context is bound to a form, the data will automatically be displayed.
Cheers-

Adobe forms(Interactive forms)

Hi to all,
In our developement server we cant open layout design in intercative forms. Its showing error message like " Cant start Layout designer(see long text)" . What we can do. Is there any patches will upload or Any SAP notes apply .Give me suggessions.

Hi Geetha K ,
ADOBE lifecycle designer is part of SAPGUI installation.
Some admins love to install not fully but leave out what they think may no be needed. So they can keep their job because every one in a while someone needs something they ommitted
Full installation does not harm anyone anytime and is less complicated. Thank you SAP that we can do partial installs -:)

Hi,
Add a attribute of type WDY_BOOLEAN and bind it to the Adobe UI element.
And do the following in the wddomodifyview.
IF NOT first_time IS INITIAL.
data lo_nd_screen_valid type ref to if_wd_context_node.
data lo_el_screen_valid type ref to if_wd_context_element.
data ls_screen_valid type wd_this->element_screen_valid.
navigate from <CONTEXT> to <SCREEN_VALID> via lead selection
lo_nd_screen_valid = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_screen_valid ).
get element via lead selection
lo_el_screen_valid = lo_nd_screen_valid->get_element( ).
get single attribute
lo_el_screen_valid->set_attribute(
    exporting
      name = `ADOBEUIELEMENT`
      value =   u2018u2019 ).
ENDIF.

Hi Enzo,
Not sure but you can check the following:
By default, Windows Vista enables increased HTTPS Security in Internet Explorer 7 through certificate revocation checking. Windows Vista checks for certificate revocation to determine whether the presented certificate remains valid. The increased security may cause the HTTPS client certificate authentication certificate for LiveCycle Designer ES to fail. To disable the certificate revocation checking, go to the Advanced tab of the Internet Control Panel and, in the Security section, deselect the Check For Server Certificate Revocation option.
if you are using 8.1 version then Adobe LiveCylce Designer 8.1 now supports Microsoft Windows Vista.

Hide buttons from Adobe on Interactive Forms

When the PDF is displayed, I get all the buttons from Adobe on my toolbar. I can only find one option in NWDS where i can hide toolbar, but that hides the whole bar. I want to keep the fileoptions like save, print, search.can anyone help me.

You can also easily add a button yourself for actions like save, print, etc.
for save add the following javascript: app.execMenuItem("SaveAs")
for print: xfa.host.print(1, "0", (xfa.host.numPages -1).toString(), 0, 1, 0, 0, 0);
look in the acrobat javascript scripting reference for more detailed information.
You can also configure your own custom menu through the app object.
Kind regards, Marijn Sponselee

No problem with the first view.. displays everything...
The Problem is when i click the button to nsvigate to the 2nd view, its not loading...
Wait symbol is coming...
Please Help me friends...

hi ,
pls use the ZCi layout for the adobe interactive form .
Need to Insert the web dynpro script to the form.
Note: Make sure to upgrade the Adobe Interactive for ZCI type using SFP_ZCI_UPDATE transaction
Subsequently, check whether the update of the ZCI was successfully completed. To do this, open your form in the Adobe LiveCycleDesigner and check the version information of the ZCI script. The ZCI script is available on the "Hierarchy" tab page under the "ContainerFoundation_JS" name. The version must be800.20080513120641.469612.469346.
You can also have a look at this e-learning.

ADOBE form interactive and non-interactive... (HR)

Hi,
I'm trying to get in touch with SAP web applications (webdynpro, adobe form, bsp...).
I have the following requirement:
I have to provide a page within the sap enterprise portal to allow the employee to track his presence. In this page the employee has to check a presence/absence flag and in another page he can justify his absence with some reason.
I didn't find a standard functionality to meet this requirement, so I think a new form has to be created.
As additional requirement this form as to be stored as PDF document and it is not needed to store the information contained in the form in the sap backend system. The information contained in the form has to be stored in a non-sap system, so this information should be available as flat file to be imported in the non-sap system.
I'd like to understand the possible scenarios from a technical point of view to create the required functionalities.
ADOBE Interactive Form.
This is a webdynpro (java or abap) that contains the adobe component. The fields of the adobe component are linked to the sap backend system and are editable. The adobe component reads some data from sap bakend system and stores the values filled by the employee via the adobe component in the backend system.
ADOBE non-interactive Form
A webdynpro (java or abap) or a BSP has to be built to create some values, then once the user save/submit the information a PDF document is created with the information created in the previous page.
What is the difference between ADOBE (non-interactive) Form and ADOBE Interactive Form? The difference is that the first one is not editable? There is a big difference in terms of complexity develop an interactive or a non-interactive adobe form?
BSP that generates the PDF as output?
Could you please provide some input/defintion/sample to clarify this topic?
Thanks in advance

Binding problem from adobe interactive form to SAP

Hello All,
I'm using SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio 2.0.9 SAP WAS 2004s SP11.
I'm tried to exercise with document "How ToCreate Online and Offline Forms in Web Dynpro for Java" (you can check it this link https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/4fd2d690-0201-0010-de83-b4fa0c93e1a9). I could run it succesfuly but i have a problem. I couldn't get data from Adobe Interactive form when i click "Submit to SAP" button. All field value return with "null".
The code is like that;
public void onActionFormSubmit(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin onActionFormSubmit(ServerEvent)
     String name = wdContext.currentTravelDataElement().getEmployeeName();
     String costcenter = wdContext.currentTravelDataElement().getCostCenter();
     String city = wdContext.currentTravelDataElement().getDestinationCity();
     String country =
     wdContext.currentTravelDataElement().getDestinationCountry();
     wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager().reportSuccess(
     "Form submitted: Employe Name="
     + name
     + " costcenter="
     + costcenter
     + " city="
     + city
     + " country=" +
      country);
What could be the problem?

hi Selcuk,
check what is the cardinality of the node that bound to the interactive form.
interactive form->properties->dataSource = <xyz node of context>
goto <xyz node of context> -> properties
just change the cardinality to 1..1.
goto
interactive form->properties...
check that the dataSource and pdfSource are bound to the right Context nodes/attributes...
hope this helps...

New forum area for Adobe Interactive forms

Would it be possible to create a separate thread for the adobe interactive forms? Most of the conversations are under the webdynpro forum, but because people refer to this area by so many different names (adobe, ADS, interactive forms) it is really difficult to do a search for anything specific. (also, you cannot distingquish a post between ABAP interactive forms and Webdynpro interactive forms until you are deep into the message).
I think enough folks are starting to use interactive forms that we can get some good topics going!
Also note: the adobe homepage on SDN needs more visibility. It is buried under too many links. I had to email Matthias Zeller to get the url. I lost patience after about 20 minutes of searching.
thanks!
brenda

A last thought/comment:
I just went to the WAS homepage. The link is under FEATURED CONTENT under the black/bold heading Interactive Forms.
I would not equate the adobe home page as "featured content". Now that I have been told, I can find it, but I spent 20 minutes using the forum search to find it and the results were mostly to the help.sap.com links. Maybe a title change under quick links might make it more intuitive.
thanks for the opportunity to rant a bit.

Create Interactive Form UI element Dynamically

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement according to which i need to create multiple PDF forms at runtime.
The approach that i would be using is creating interactive form U I element at runtime.
So as a test application in a views wdDoModifyView i added the below
In the do modify view i have added the below piece of code
if (!firstTime)
               IWDNodeInfo l_sel_nodeInfo =
                    wdContext.nodeCtx_vn_binary().getNodeInfo();
               IWDAttributeInfo l_attrInfo =
                    l_sel_nodeInfo.getAttribute(
                         IPrivateAdobeView1.ICtx_vn_binaryElement.CTX__VA__BINARY);
               if (view.getElement("adobeFrm") == null) {
                    IWDTransparentContainer container =
                         (IWDTransparentContainer) view.getElement(
                              "RootUIElementContainer");
                    IWDInteractiveForm adobeFrm =
                         (IWDInteractiveForm) view.createElement(
                              IWDInteractiveForm.class,
                              "adobeFrm");
                    adobeFrm.bindDataSource(
                         wdContext.nodeCtx_vn_adobe().getNodeInfo());
                    adobeFrm.setMode(WDInteractiveFormMode.UPDATE_DATA_IN_PDF);
                    adobeFrm.setTemplateSource("AdobeView1_InteractiveForm.xdp");
                    adobeFrm.setDisplayType(WDInteractiveFormDisplayType.NATIVE);
                    adobeFrm.bindPdfSource(l_attrInfo);
                    adobeFrm.setVisible(WDVisibility.VISIBLE);
                    container.addChild(adobeFrm);
                    adobeFrm.setTemplateSource("AdobeView1_InteractiveForm.xdp");
But now i am stuck at this point as its giving me null pointer exception on execution.
Could some one provide me links to the tutorials which contains dynamic creation of Interactive form UI element
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Rekha ,
I do have this link but as per this tutorial the layout of adobe form is generated during design time whereas i need to create the mulitple PDF at runtime.These PDF need to be displayed to the user . The approach that i am using is to create Interactiveform U I element at runtime.
The code that i tried is already provided in my first post.I need some more concrete tutorials /examples for this.
Basically i need to know how to add elements like a table/textfield and data within those table/ textfields in an adobe form(Interactive form UI element) at runtime.
Regards ,
Navya.

Dynamic Interactive Form

Hello friends,
I ve created a dynamic purchase order form(Interactive form) which has a dynamic table which adds or deletes the table rows on click of a button.
This part works fine when i preview the pdf file..rather when i deploy the application,
the dynamic content like adding and deleting rows does not work..Friends, if anyone of u have faced this issue and solved, please get back to me with the solution.
Regards,
Karthikeyan

Hi,
Other than checking if xACF is installed, you can check one more thing:
In your Adobe lifecycle Designer, open your form,
Goto, File --> Form Properties,
Goto the Defaults tab,
Select "Dynamic PDF" for the XDP Preview Format:
Click OK.
This setting will now allow dynamicity in your Form, when you view it in PDF Preview tab.
This will solve your problem.

Hanoz
