Adobe Form: Potriat or Landscape display at runtime

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement where I need to dispaly an Adobe form in Potrait or Landscape format depending on the user input at runtime. There will be a checkbox on the selection screen, if it is checked, form should be displayed as landscape, otherwise as potriat. Is it possible to do this dynamically?
Thanks in advance.

Radhika

Yes,
you could use the SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY built-in for each item you want to change the color (use a VISUAL ATTRIBUTE)

Adobe Forms: date and number display format

Hello all,
I am new to Adobe Form, and I am quite unimpressed with how difficult it is to do the most simple things.
I have managed one way or another to solve all my problems until now, but this one got me stuck.
I have date and number fields in my form, and here is what I want to do but cannot (beware, it is impressive): I need these fields to be displayed using the defaults date and number settings of the SAP user who is generating the form.
Anyone has an idea of how that can be achieved?
Thank you.

Hi Thomas,
For these kind of issues you will get many answers if you search the forum.
If your requirement is to display the current date in the form, just drag and drop the "Current date" UI element from the Library palette -> Custom.
If it is to get the date from SAP and display, pass date to the context node and just drag and drop the field into the form from the data view.
Check the following wiki by Chintan. It explains some common scenarios in javascript.
[JavaScript Part 1|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/JavaScriptforCommonScenarios-PartI]
[JavaScript Part 2|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/JavaScriptforCommonScenarios-PartII]
Use an 'if' condition, check the value and based on the value you can make the field hide/visible in the form.
Hope this will help.

Adobe form output not getting displayed for the whole length of the page

Hi All,
I have developed an adobe form using webdynpro application. While testing, the output(pdf) does not occupy the entire page/screen from end-user side. But when I test the same from my side, the output appears fine . Could anyone suggest me on this?
Regards,
Allwin.

Did you check the resolution at end user side? Is it different from your resolution?
To overcome this check what is the height and width you have specified for InteractiveFormUI element in your Web Dynpro application. Have you specified in pixels like 300px? You need to enter it as 100% for both.

How to display Formatted text in adobe form

In adobe form, I want to display the text which is inputed by formatted text edit in WD ABAP application.
It is always displayed as plain text like 'this is test text.'. I have set the attribute Data Format to XHTML, Field Format to Rich Text for the Text Field in adobe form. But it doesn't work.
How to display these formatted text?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Jun

Hi Juergen,
I found Your blog and found it really interesting... though I was not able to use it: I (like Jun Li is asking, I guess) need to use a dynamic text, containing formatting informations (according the xhtml syntax).
I tried to pass it to the form by an ABAP-dictionary based interface and by means of the context (in a webdynpro page), but both tries failed.
Some suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou

How to display the Standard Text (SO10) based on condition in adobe forms

Hi,
I have created the Standard texts (through SO10 tr.code) of 4 plant addresses. In the Layout of adobe form, i want to display any one plant address based on the plant number (as a input) and the rest 3 standard text need to be hide. i tried in Form clac to hide, but i unable to succeed. could you please help me, in this regard.
Thank you.
Regards,
Mallikarjuna

Hi,
You can add all the 4 text in your context menu and create an condition for text.
Example: (LS_HEADER is a structure only for example, you need to decide based on your own form interface)
Text_1000                                Condition -> LS_HEADER-WERKS = 1000
Text_2000                                Condition -> LS_HEADER-WERKS = 2000
Text_3000                                Condition -> LS_HEADER-WERKS = 3000
Text_4000                                Condition -> LS_HEADER-WERKS = 4000
The text satisfyling your condition will only be printed and you can assign these text to the same block in PDF form.

Weird character 'u00A4' display at output of ADOBE form in SAP for amount

When display pattern for amount field is set for ADOBE form in SAP, output displays ' ¤ '.
All display patterns shows '$' at the begining, but when output is generated it displays '¤'.
Advice me how to eliminate this. (or)
Is there a way to hide this character.

I am not saying this is your problem BUT I was troubled for quite a while by having unprintable characters imbedded within text fields. It turns out that Ctrl V character was being embedded within text by user.
So I suggest that you view the data while in debug and do it in hex. This was the only way I was able to see that I had a problem with the text itself. Then I was able to add logic to filter for these errors.

Text Field value display twice in Adobe Form.

Hi Experts,
I want to display a text field value twice in a ADOBE FORM but it only display at first occurance of the text field.
Please suggest me possible solution.
Regards,
Abdul

Why don't you have two different text fields in the interface and bind them separately at the two different places in the form. In the driver program you can control the value being passed to be same for both the fields.

Adobe Forms in Guided Procedures

Hi all,
I have the 'My First Days' Guided Procedure assinged to a user and am trying to customize it for a demo. I am trying to display an adobe form in a separate section in the My First Days Procedure and so far have been able to configure the action and block in order to display the adobe form.
When i try to add the Adobe form as a 'Interactive form' type, it gives me an error saying 'Could not retrieve template fields: Wrong document format or adapter mismatch.'
I have checked the adobe configuration and it seems to be working fine. Can anyone tell me why i get this error and what is the best way to resolve this issue?
Also, if Adobe forms work fine for manager self service in our systems, should they work fine in the Guided Procedures too ?
Thanks,
Bhushan.

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 forwarded for Approval.. 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 rejected 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

Calling the Adobe form in a workflow step for Approval

Hi All,
We are creating a PCR scenario using Adobe forms for "Employee seperation". This form will require 7 subsequent approvals from various agents which is to be handled using a workflow.
I had gone through the ISR cookbook and managed to create a scenario. I have also assigned it to a PDF form and a dummy workflow. Now from my PCR iview i am able to submit the form for my scenario which also triggers the dummy workflow(through the BUS7051-CREATED event).
Right now this dummy workflow just sends a mail(by sendmail step) to the first approver. Now i want this workflow to send a workitem to the first approver for approval of this form which will have to appear in his UWL. When the approver double clicks on the workitem in UWL he should be able to view the form along with Approve/Reject/Cancel buttons. I am not aware how to do this. My questions are,
Is this handled by a decision step or an activity?
If it is an activity step which Task/Business object method is used to handle this?
If it is a decision step how do we make the Adobe form also to be displayed along with approve/Reject buttons?
We are using ECC5.0 and EP6.0.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Simple adobe form config

Hi All,
I want to desing the adobe forms, instead of smartforms. But the purpose of the adobe forms is just the display as of smartforms. For this what all configuration is needed. I dont think J2EE engine config is needed for this. Correct me if i am wrong.
I have created ADSUER and in SM59 am creating ADS for HTTP Connection to External Serv and in Target host i am giving the my own sap server name, and path perfix as /AdobeDocumentServices/Config?style=rpc and i am not sure how to find the service number. In case of java it will be port number and the target host will be some J2EE engine user id... when i am trying to do the test connection i am getting the error ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED,
Pls let me know whether this setting will work for simple PDF forms. Pls let me know how to find out the Service no to enter here.
Thanks,
Raju

First of all, you have open threads and i dont think you will ever come back and see the answers. If you see, please close them.
Come to your point..... You have to have configured ADS in the system and for this, you have to have java stack somewhere in your box. Search forums for how to configure or go to service.sap.com and search for notes. there are trouble shoot programs. go through them.
To configure as smartforms, you have to do that in output configuration through transaction NACE.
To display only, you can make them non interactive and leave blank in editable in form interface.

Making selective fields editable in adobe form [using web dynpro]

Hi,
I have displayed an adobe form using web dynpro application. But I have to make certain fields (not all fields) on this adobe form editable. I dont want to make this adobe form interactive because I dont have to save any data in database. The data entered in the editable fields will be saved as a pdf.
What I did so far:
1) The fields which I want as editable, I have given there type as "User entered/ optional" & for rest of the fields I have given type as "Read only".
2) In web dynpro, I have enabled the adobe
3) This is not making the fields editable.
4) If I write the following code in my webdynpro method WDDOMODIFYVIEW, then my data coming from adobe is not getting displayed even though the fields get selectively editable.
*data: LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM type ref to CL_WD_INTERACTIVE_FORM,
*LR_METHOD_HANDLER type ref to IF_WD_IACTIVE_FORM_METHOD_HNDL.
*check first_time = abap_true.
*LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM ?= VIEW->GET_ELEMENT('adobe').
*LR_METHOD_HANDLER ?= LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM->_METHOD_HANDLER.
*LR_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_LEGACY_EDITING_ENABLED( abap_true ).
Any inputs regarding this??
Thanks & Regards.

Hi,
Like I had mentioned using the following code in my webdynpro method WDDOMODIFYVIEW, my data coming from adobe form was not getting displayed even though the fields get selectively editable.
*data: LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM type ref to CL_WD_INTERACTIVE_FORM,
*LR_METHOD_HANDLER type ref to IF_WD_IACTIVE_FORM_METHOD_HNDL.
*check first_time = abap_true.
*LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM ?= VIEW->GET_ELEMENT('adobe').
*LR_METHOD_HANDLER ?= LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM->_METHOD_HANDLER.
*LR_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_LEGACY_EDITING_ENABLED( abap_true ).
So I kept this code & I also kept the Interface type "ABAP Dictionary based".
Additionally in Webdynpro, I used adobe form generated FM to get the adobe content & passed it to the "content" parameter of my adobe component in webdynpro.
Thanks & Regards.
