Adobe form is opening outside SAP

Hi all, I was wondering if anybody has the answer to this issue, I believe it's quite simple, but I haven't got the solution yet.
I just finished the configuration of ADS. Everything is working fine: test reports, connections, ABAP Stack, JAVA Stack (separated servers), Users, etc.
When I execute the report FP_TEST_00, the form preview is opened in Adobe Reader, outside SAP.
I think it has to do with the Reader configuration.
Thank you for your help!

Hi Christian, thanks for your answer.
I already tried that. When the flag is checked on the Reader and I execute FP_TEST_00, an error message pops up:
"There is a problem With Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again."
Then, the PDF is displayed in the Reader outside SAP. I was searching for this error with no luck so far.
The Reader Version is 8.1.2.
Version from FP_PDF_TEST_00: Version Information: 800.20070708051308.406522
Thank you!

Interactive Adobe form is opening slowly on portal

Dear Experts,
We have an interactive Adobe form with java script events to populate the date dynamically in the approval process. We do not have time taking issue in development and having issue in production. The form opened visually but we are getting a message like Downloaded 10.52 of 265B : https://prdix100.com:1100/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/asr_process_execute/"
Can anyone help me to resolve this issue?

Hi Rene,
seems as if your system is on a low support package...
If you go on to SP10 which should be there shortly, then you can also use ZCI in addition to ACF...
Can you check your ADS configuration? See the relevant section on Adobe integration in http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/e86de5008b4d9ae10000000a155369/frameset.htm

Thanks for your prompt response.
Currently, I'm having problem with the Adobe Reader save prompt displayed too often and the message is asking, "Do you want to save?"
Any helps would be greatly appreciated and points will be rewarded.
I'm unable to find any notes or documentation regarding this problem.

How to insert Adobe Form Data in the SAP backend?

Hi there,
I am very new to Adobe Forms. I am supposed to come up with a working scenario of inserting few form fields into the SAP backend. Is this done through a BAPI call? Or is there any other way for this to achieve?
I have downloaded trial version of Adobe LifeCycle Designer. But I don't know how to integrate this with the SAP system. Is there anything else that I need to install in my system?
Is there a document on how to configure all the installations for both local machine and the server (if any)?
Please help.....
[I went through the forum for this, but I did not get anything]
Warm regards,
Deepak

hi,
in the livecycle designer under libary tab u have webdynpro tab--->choose submit to sap button and place it in the adobe form ur designing. u can use this button to trigger the code that u have written in webdynpro java.
for eg if u have
a value node details
and under that two value attr fname,lname
import the model (Insertdata---it has two import param fname and lname)u need for updating the data to r3 system.
in the ctrller have a method submit.Here write the code to insert fname and lname into the db.
IPrivateMyForm.IDetailsElement elem = wdContext.nodeDetails().currentDetailsElement();
Insertdata_Input input = new Insertdata_Input();
wdContext.nodeInsertdata_Input().bind(input);
input.setFname(elem.getFname());
input.setLname(elem.getLname());
try
wdContext.currentInsertdata_InputElement().modelObject().execute();
wdContext.nodeOutput().invalidate();
catch (Exception ex)
{ ex.printStackTrace();}
ul bind details to the datasource.
when u edit ur interactive ui element these attr(fname and lname) vl be visible under dataview tab u can drag and drop them to the form
now add submit to sap button in ur form.
this button correspond to the onactionSubmit dat u have written in the ctrller.
so wen u click this the data vl be inserted

Adobe Form Data Integration into SAP using RFC

Hi All,
I have created a Adobe Form, there is a button Called Submit ,On clicking that button the Adobe form must call a RFC function Module and pass the data from the form to Function Module.
I have written the below code for the submit button but it is not working.Please Lemme know if u have any solutions..
Below is my code
//Submit this form to SAP using web services
var webService = xfa.resolveNode("xfa.record.WEBSERVICE");
xfa.host.messageBox ("test 3");
var response = Net.SOAP.request(
cURL: webService.value,
oRequest: {
"urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions:ZUPDATETIMESHEET":{
TIMESHEET: t_time_record,
HEADTIME: wa_head
cContentType: "text/xml"
xfa.host.messageBox ("test 4");
var success = response["urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions:ZUPDATETIMESHEET.Response"]["SUCCESS"];
var response = response["urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions:ZUPDATETIMESHEET.Response"]["RESPONSE"];
if (success == "X") {
xfa.host.messageBox(response, "Response from SAP", 3);
CONFIRMED.rawValue = "Yes";
ConfirmedLogo.presence = "visible";
for (var nPageCount = 0; nPageCount < xfa.host.numPages; nPageCount++) {
var oFields = xfa.layout.pageContent(nPageCount, "field");
var nNodesLength = oFields.length;
for (var nNodeCount = 0; nNodeCount < nNodesLength; nNodeCount++) {
oFields.item(nNodeCount).access = "readOnly";
if (oFields.item(nNodeCount).border.fill.color.value == "255,0,0")
oFields.item(nNodeCount).border.fill.color.value = "255,255,255";
if (oFields.item(nNodeCount).ui.oneOfChild.className == "button") //Hide all buttons
oFields.item(nNodeCount).presence = "hidden";
ZUPDATETIMESHEET is my Function Module.
t_time_record and wa_head are the parameters being passed to the function Module.
Please lemme know if i have to do any settings and configurations also...
I have attached the entire code in the below file...
Thanks in Advance

Maruti,
1. Just use the RFC's that does the update.
2. There are update flags for each field that you would like to update. These flags should be marked be marked for update. They come along with the classes that are generated when you import the RFC's.
3 Call BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT afterwards.
All the above steps have to be done in the program.

Save adobe form fill, send & update SAP

Hi Experts,
I am new to interactive Adobe form, so need to clarify few things regarding the development of it:-
1. Suppose i have a interactive form with a dropdown for designation. I sent to the vendor through using SAP mails. Can he see the dropdown list there in the attached PDF file??
2. If, then after filling the form with those values he will send it through his email. Now, how to upload that form data(like address) in SAP?
3. Suppose he saved the form, filled it and send us after a month. In between the designation table got modified. The designation he seleted no longer exist. Then how will it work?? where will be the validations for this?
can anyone give me the live scenario??
Regards,
Nik

Hi
1. Yes, He can the dropdown list , in the attached PDF File.
2. First you can import that PDF file into your form layout then
You can connect the form with OLEDB data connection after that, drag and drop the button in the layout, and you can rename that button "UPDATE"
Select that button then select CLICK event and script as JavaScript and write the following code in that
xfa.sourceSet.DataConnection.update();
the contents will update in the sap table
Thanks

Using Interactive Adobe Forms in LEAD processing(SAP CRM 7.0)

Hi,
I am new to Adobe forms. I want to create it for lead. After creation of lead adobe form should get mailed to required partner automaticaly. This partner will fill the data and send back to update the system.
Please suugest me any documentation to achieve this.
Regards,
Nikhil

Dear Nitin,
The first I am not sure, so hopefully someone else can help you with that.
For the second, If you want a Z-field to be used in the action conditions, you should add an attribute to your BOR-object in SWO1.
How to do this can be found here.
[http://sapcrmweblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/adding-attributes-to-bor-object.html|http://sapcrmweblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/adding-attributes-to-bor-object.html]

Online Adobe forms in Guided Procedures

Calling SAP GP experts,
Has anyone been able to successfully implement online Adobe forms in a Guided procedures. If yes, can you share tricks involved..
The objective is to throw open an online Adobe form to the user to fill in.. The Adobe form will have pre-filled data (from previous Actions in the GP) and there will be the Approval process step after the form is filled...
Cheers
Nitesh

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

Hello Vijay,
You want save the pdf file to particular location..,So go through the following code. This might be useful to you.
IIWDAttributeInfo attInfo =
wdContext.currentContextElement().node().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("pdfsource");
ISimpleTypeModifiable type = attInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
IModifiableSimpleValueSet binaryType =
type.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
binaryType.put("FileName","TravelRequest.pdf");
binaryType.put("MimeType","WDWebResourceType.PDF");
String Filename =
"temp
webdynpro
web
local
offlineInteractiveForm
Components
com.sap.offlineinteractiveform.shital.UploadDownloadformComp
TravelRequest.pdf";
/* CONVERTS BINARY FILE TO A BYTE ARRAY */
try{
File file = new File(Filename);
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(file);
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
int length;
byte[] part = new byte [10 * 1024];
while ((length = in.read(part)) != -1 )
out.write(part, 0, length);
in.close();
wdContext.currentContextElement().setPdfsource(out.toByteArray());
}catch(Exception e) {
throw new WDRuntimeException(e);

Adobe forms and portal

we are using adobe forms to open and print appraisals in ess. When we click on print appraisal, adobe does not open up, i have checked connections and they look fine. We get a time out error and it looks like it is pointing to the web dispatcher OFCOMTOLS026_EWX_01
the server is ofcomtols026, EWX is the dispatcher, should the portal be pointing to this in the ERP system, where is this setup to point to this?
Any help would be great

Subha:
Your PDFs can be generated in ADS on Portal or ECC systems. From what you describe it looks like in your case it is ADS on ECC and there is a web dispatcher, doing load balancing of HTTP connects for ECC J2EE engine. In this case web dispatcher is a correct destination.
My recommendation for the troubleshooting:
1. Make sure ADS forms generated OK by accessing one of the ECC app servers directly. If Adobe form is not generated, check ADS settings. Here is a nice doc:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f03414f8-d4ce-2a10-d4b6-ab201b329d98
2. Once Adobe Form is verified, check access via Web Dispatcher. It is possible that its permission table does not allow ADS urls.
Jaya:
You should not be able to connect the portal to a webdispatcher. Only browsers talk via webdispatcher.
I am sorry, but this is not true. Web dispatcher can route pretty much any TCP/IP protocol. In most cases it is used for routing HTTP/S (not only for browsers), but it can transfer a binary format as well. One time I even used web dispatcher to do port forwarding for Microsoft WTS.
