Adobe form not saving user-input data into saved pdf file

Hi forumers,
I'm a new abap developer and I'm tasked to create an interactive adobe form that will require the user to input data in the form.
No data is passed and received from PDF, but PDF has to be u2018Fillableu2019. I am able to fill out the form but when I actually save the form, it will be saved as a blank form again. I've seen the relevance of the LS_DOCPARAMS-FILLABLE = 'X' on this forum and I have incorporated it in my code. But how should I code the abap program to enable to save the user input as well into the form.

Not quite yet, I have to say...
If you check the domain "FPINTERACTIVE", you'll see these values:
               Print Form
X     Interactive Form with Additional Usage Rights
N     Interactive Form Without Additional Usage Rights
F
So, you are not providing "additional usage rights" (Adobe Form Credentials), meaning there could be a problem when you want to use those forms in a Production environment.

Adobe Forms function module - downloading the xstring output in PDF file

Hi Guys,
I'm using Adobe forms and fetching its output in an XSTRING PDF format. How can I download this XSTRING output to a PDF file and store on the local file system?
I'm using the following approach to getting a PDF output:
ls_outputparams-getpdf = 'X'.
CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
CHANGING
    ie_outputparams = ls_outputparams.
* Get the name of the generated function module
CALL FUNCTION 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'

    CALL FUNCTION lv_fmname
      EXPORTING

ENDIF.
* Close the spool job
CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_CLOSE'.
Now, the variable LS_FORM_OUTPUT-PDF contains the PDF output in XSTRING. My question is how can I download this as a PDF file to my local machine.
Kind Regards,
Shailesh.

FDF Returns the entire form not just user input

Using the properties dialog box on a submit button I set my form actions to return 'FDF Include' which according to the help menu will only return the results of the user input and not the entire filled out form. I only want user input because I plan to embed each results file in a website.Unless I am misunderstanding what should happen, it is not working. It is returning the entire form. I would appreciate any help or tips anyone has to offer. If I'm doing it wrong and there is another way, please let me know. I just want to see the answers in the form fields, not the entire form. Thanks!

Thanks so much for your assistance. I made a form, and then set the distrubuted settings to email me the form when submitted. I posted it to our intranet and then tested it. The form I posted is the 'distributed' form that Acrobat made from my original form. I posted it on a public site so you can have a look. Here is a link. This should allow you to download it instantly. If not, remove everything from the question mark to the end and then paste that link into a browser. I checked and double checked everything, but maybe I am missing something.

Passing user input data to existing pdf

My customer prints business cards, currently the printing requests are submitted by a variety of methods (e-mail,paper napkins, etc.) that create more work and consume to much time. When a request is finalized it is in pdf format and at that point ready to go to press.
I am trying to simplify this process by allowing the person that needs a card printed to fill out an online pdf form that looks exactly like their business card. When completed the form is submitted and their info needs to be passed to an existing pdf (also online) that also looks exactly like their business card. This pdf will be submitted for review and approval and used to go to press.
I have been designing/hosting web sites for years but pdf's are new to me. I purchased Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0.8 and Live Cycle Designer 7.0, I have created both of the pd's described in the 2nd paragraph and used the Designer to build the form, uploaded to server and had the data saved as XML. I am able to import the XML data to the other pdf and it does so beautifully. I did it this way first to familiarize myself with the software. I also purchased a very comprehensive book on Acrobat 7.0 which also covers the Live Cycle Designer to some extent.
I learned that a Java Script would be necessary to accomplish my goal but after scouring the web and submitting my project needs to www.rentacoder.com I have been overwhelmed. The coders that responded were going to use everything except Java Script to achieve the desired results (PHP, Java)and cost ranging from $45.00 to $700.00.
I have downloaded from the Adobe web site the following;
Acobat JavaScripting Scripting Reference
Acrobat JS Guide
I do not write scripts and thought these could help but I can't understand exactly how my script should look.
These are the fields that will be completed by users;
Job Title, Full Name, Address1, Address2, City State Zip, Ph#, Cell#, E-mail Address.
URL to user form -www.tarantulawebdesign.com/bc/twd_form1.pdf
Url to pdf that data will be passed to - www.tarantulawebdesign.com/bc/bc_tmplt.pdf
Any help with my situation will be greatly appreciated!

Hi Steven,
Luckily, you don't even have to write a single line of JavaScript code to get what you want! :-)
Just create a new data connection using an example xml-file. Then bind the form fields to their respective data connection field. Then select iomport xml-data in Acrobat Pro or insert a button (optional) with the following line of code:
xfa.host.importData();
Here's your file, I tuned a bit. You may want to have a look at it:
business-cards.pdf (download via filefactory, which is a bit slow and tricky...).
1) download the file
2) create a new text-document. rename it to something like business-card_data.xml
3) copy & paste the following example business card data:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<form1>
<vcard>
<Name>John Smith</Name>
<Position>CEO</Position>
<Address1>Nowhere 1</Address1>
<Address2>Nonsense Enterprises Ltd.</Address2>
</vcard>
</form1>
4) Place both files (pdf, xml) in the same directory
5) open pdf, click the button, select the xml
Regards,
Steve

Saving a Text data to a PDF file without using print option

Hi,
I want to save a Text to a PDF file. I want to assign the path of the PDF file as a default one.
If I use Print options, then it ask for the file path at the run time.
Is there any method to save to a PDF file without using print option in Labview 8.2.
Regards,

This question comes up a lot. Did you try searching? It depends on the PDF printer driver that you're using. See here, here, here, ...

Merge data and a PDF file?

Hi,
I´m trying to render/merge data into a PDF file using FormServer (7.0) and .NET. I notice that if I use the xdp version of the pdf, FormServer will return a pdf with the merged data. However, I cannot acomplish this if instead of a xdp file document I use a pdf file (dynamic 7.0 created with livecycle designer 8).
This works:
String sFormPreference = "PDFForm";
String sFormQuery = "ExpenseClaim.xdp";
This doesn´t woks:
String sFormPreference = "PDFForm";
String sFormQuery = "ExpenseClaim.pdf";
Isn´t it possible to merge data directly into a PDF using FormServer. I rather use a pdf file instead of a xdp file, because, a xdp file will need to be converted to a PDF file. Thus it will spent more time accomplishing the merge.
Thank you

Try using PDFMerge as the transformation.

Adobe form created in LiveCycle does not remember user input

Adobe form created in LiveCycle does not remember user input when the file has been re-opened after it has been saved.
Example:
"Check box" that has been selected and who have registered Action script (may be that it should be disabled), seems to be reset when the file is re-opened, although it apparently is checked.
Are there settings or script that can prevent this?

Hi there,
usually if the values are not kept in form after saving and re-opening the form, it would be because of your code... or because it is not Reader Extended PDF...
If your code has a function which is to return a value to your field without it to be working based on your Design, it will reset any data..(variables)
Which means...
e.g.: You have an array/var/JSONobject which you populate varying on the data entered in the design, as long as you are in the actual form, without closing and re-opening the form, it will keep all values inside that array / variables / JSONobject. But, once the form closed and re-opened, if you have a function that returns a value to your field, whatever the field, from any variable in the script it will return nothing because every variables are reset. To avoid such a thing, you must repopulate all variables that were assigned previously before closing the PDF Form. To do so, I recommend to have a page(hidden) which contains every important values according to that function and you must repopulate those variables according to the values in the keepVar page...
If you do not have any function that returns a value to a field based on your variables, this is not the solution you are looking for and I am not aware of the reason why it behaves like this... Maybe more information on the behaviour of your form would help locate the issue...
Hope this help

Input data into dynamic calc in Planning forms

Hi guys,
Have someone tried to combine these two requirements:
1. to have upper level members dynamic calc
2. to give users the ability to input data into those upper level members through Planning forms.
I need to do that in order to pass inputted values into HBR, and allocate those values to the leaf level across multiple dimensions. I need those members dynamic calc because otherwise I would need to aggregate data across 7 dimensions and that takes too long. Those allocations are suposed to happen constantly and are the main purpose of application.
I know you can have dummy stored members that correspond the uper level dynamic members, but then the user will have input forms without current data and will be required to check reports/forms with dynamic calc members prior to updating data.
I wonder if it is a realistic task to change jsp files that generate those forms, so that data can be inputed into the form, but instead of passing it to Essbase cube to send it to relational database.
P.S.
This is related to the thread I opened about optimizing recalculation time:
Recalculatiion takes much longer than initial calculation
I received a lot of valuable advices that would definitely work in other situations, but in my case they seem to contradict either user concurrent access or performance requirements.
Thanks a lot!
Dmitry

Hi Glenn,
I think i found a workaround for this, or may be i am missing something. I will replicate my hierarchies so that one hierarchy will have uper level stored members, and another dynamic calc. Once user loads the form it will run on-load script that will copy data from corresponding dynamic calc to stored slice. The updated data will be alocated to the leaf level, but will never be aggregated. Since reporting is done from ASO cube i only care about the leaf level and current selection in the form.
Thanks!

Cannot input data into Text Field on from Adobe Acrobat Reader

I created a form in Acrobat 5 that has check boxes and text fields. Using reader I can open the doc and use check boxes and input text into fields. Once this doc is loaded to our web server and a user opens or downloads the file they can check the boxes but cannot enter any text into the text fields. Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance

And so.. what is invalid?
I've uploaded the pdf files as example:
My generated pdf
http://compuhelp.free.fr/adobe/before.pdf
The modified version by Adobe Acrobat Reader:
http://compuhelp.free.fr/adobe/after.pdf
(I can generate a more complexe pdf file with fonts, images,... it will be displayed correctly, but Adobe always want to modifiy it).
So perhaps I missed somthing into the pdf file format specification ?

I have manually inputted data into a blank spreadsheet and would like to use a form to enter data into that sheet !!! How do I do that please

Leigh,
After creating your table, Tap the Tab marked "+" and select "Form" - you will be asked which table to use. (You should get into the habit of naming your tables - if the table name isn't visible, select the table and tap the Styles (Brush) Menu > Table > Turn ON table Name, then double tap on the Table to edit it.)
Select the table you wish to to fill with a form and you will see a new form based on the header data.
The form will allow you to add one row at a time and when you get to the last row, there is an option at the bottom of the form to add a new row using the "+" button. At the top of the form is the row header which you can rename by double tapping.
You can also rename the form on the Tab by double tapping on the name.
Try it out.

How to input data into Pdf file

I am not too sure if I am posting my question in the right forum.
I would like to know what version of Adobe acrobat can allow me to create a document, where clients can input data into it?
Here is an online example
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/N-400.pdf
Thanks.
Oceans

If your users will be using Reader and you want your users to be able to save the form or email it, you will need to apply 'Extended Form Rights' (version 8 Provessional or Version 9 Standard or better) and for signatures you will need to apply 'Signature Rights' using an Adobe server product.
