Adobe Form send by e-mail as PDF + opening Outlook

Hello,
I've created a form with a "send by e-mail' button.
When clicking this button, the users Outlook should open with a new e-mail and the pdf attached (subject and To pre-filled)
I have tested this in example mode in Livecycle designer. Everthing works fine then.
But when I publish the form it sends the form directly to the given e-mail adres, without opening the outlook e-mail first.
It is important to open the outlook e-mail first, because I want them to add attachements and some comments in the mail before sending the form.
Any of you familiar with this problem, and how to solve it?

Did you use this script in your button?
mailto:? Subject =
This has always worked for me.

ISR Adobe forms send by email

Hi,
is it possible to send ISR Adobe form by email? I would need to feel the form with data and send it.
Thanks inadvance,
Anna

Hi Anna,
Have you created a form through the HCM Processes and Forms scenario? If you have, you can send a form from one person to another with form information filled in by the form initiator, but this has to be configured using workflow, and it would only appear in their Workflow Inbox.
This is a link to SDN eBook on e-mailing Interactive Forms. This is not done with HCM Process and Forms, but gives you an idea on how to do it...

ADOBE Forms Central - add and remove rows (PDF Form)

Hello, I am currently evaluating ‘ADOBE Forms Central' to set up a form with editable fields. I have set up a test form in ADOBE Forms Central and was unable to insert an option to add and remove rows similar to the print screen attached. Is this possible to do using ADOBE Forms Central or should I be using
a different ADOBE application? Thank you, Liz

A dynamic XFA PDF form can do this. You can create such forms with LiveCycle Designer, which was included with the Windows version of Acrobat Pro prior to version 11. It is now a separate product.
XFA forms can't be used with FormsCentral, however, only Acroforms can.

Adobe form script changes not reflected when PDF created by ADS.

Hello Experts,
We have done some modifications (UI elements java script) in PDF form in the Development system and tested... everything fine and as expected everything working.
When we move the same changes to Quality system, the expected functionality is not working. For error analysis we followed below things.
--1. I have checked the PDF form in SFP TCode is newly added script code is available or not.... Is available in Quality system.
--2. I have run the application In SAP Portal, where we show this adobe form and saved locally generated PDF form by application. Then we imported same saved PDF form into ALD and checked... is newly written java script is available or not....strange is not available...... but in ECC under SFP TCode i am able to see the newly written script code.
--3. o.k. we feel that some issue with ADS server so avoid that we restarted the server even though same.... the newly written script PDF form is not picked by ADS server while generating the PDF in the portal application.
Can some one throw some torch on this issue?
Regards
Malli

Allow embedded e-mail link to open outlook

When I click on an embedded link on a website to send an e-mail to them, Firefox will not execute the link

Hello Lauren,
You can define the proper column in your report as a link. I named this column "EMAIL". In the column attribute page, In the column link section, you can use the following parameters - http://i4.tinypic.com/104hu80.png
The "mailto" will open the default mail client at the desktop if it's Outlook, it will open Outlook.

Unable to open .doc & .docx attachments goes directly to send mail window .pdf opens fine

I am running Windows Vista Ver. 6.0.6002 Svc pack 2 Build 6002. Tbrd 24.5.0. AVG 2014.0.4592. In the send mail window the attachment is in the attachment box with the correct name on it. Everything worked fine a couple of weeks ago. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Rick

Thank you for your reply but unfortunately that did not help. I have the option set to use Microsoft word as the default program for .doc attachments and now it comes up with the file is possibly corrupt. If I go back to a .doc attachment that I had previously opened it does the same thing in that if I set the option to ask me what to do and I select Word it says the file is corrupt. I just discovered that if I save the attachment to a file then open the saved version with Word it works fine so that to me proves that the file is not corrupted. Now that I know how to get the file to display on my screen I will do that from now on but it is not right.
Thanks for the help.

Report to see and send as e-mail of all open Complaints/transactions

Hello Gurus,
We need to view all the Open Service Transactions/Incidents (we have a Ztransaction type) for the past 3 months and send that output as an attachment to our Service Manager's e-mail address for him to action on.
Is there a standard way of achieving this ?
Please point me if there are any GUI transaction codes that i can schedule them as a background job specifying an e-mail address ?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Gopi.

Hi Gopi,
There are no standard tools for your requirement. It is very specific requirement to your customer.
However, there are a couple of tools which you can use to extract the data. The mailing part needs to be development in custom solution.
My suggestion would be develop a report and use the tools to extract the data. Then schedule the job in the back ground. I also developed a similar kind of functionality in one of my earlier project.
Let me know if you need any kind of technical inputs regarding the development.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Samantak Chatterjee.

E-Mail attachment (PDF) opening up Hyperlinks instead of PDF

When we receive a rich text email with an attachment which is embedded, sometimes we have a problem when opening up the attachment. When clicking the attachment it opens up a hyperlink instead of the attachment which is normally
a PDF attachment. I believe it could be due to the email signature anyone else have any thoughts about this or seen this with a hotfix to resolve the issue?
Running Exchange 2013 and it view through Outlook Web App fine.

Hi,
Thank you for your update.
Have you confirmed where the user got the PDF attachment?
I’ve tested this issue in my environment. I copied an image from a web site, pasted it to a new email with rich text format. Then I sent it to another email account. When I tried to open the image from the account by clicking on it, it opened
the web site where I copied the image.
So, for your situation, I suppose it is the same reason to my test. To confirm this, please let the user (who send you the problematic attachment) save the PDF file to local, and double-check it when attached to the new email. Right-click on the attachment
and select Hyperlink to confirm if it contains a hyperlink.
Or, we can just check the issue locally. Open the problematic email, click
Forward, then right-click on the PDF attachment and check if you will get the following pop-up window.
If so, select Edit Hyperlink to check if you can find any hyperlink from the
Address field.
Please let me know the result.
I'm standing by for your reply.
Best Regards,
Steve Fan

Generating a PDF from a OTF (imported from CLOSE_FORM) and send it by mail.

Hello!
I have a problem.
I'll try to explain it toy you.
I have a SapScript that the user has the option to send it to the printer or have a Print Preview. I need to send it by mail in PDF format.
If the user select PRINT, a spool id is created, I can get the OTF, generate the PDF and send it by mail. Everything OK with that.
The problem is if the user select PRINT PREVIEW I don't get a spool id. So, what I did is to get the OTF from the CLOSE_FORM MF and generate de PDF from there. I tried several FM to generate the PDF but for sure I'm doing something wrong, because or the PDF is corrupted or I have a problem with the parameters in the SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 FM.
So, what I need it: Generate a PDF from a OTF imported from CLOSE_FORM FM and send it by mail.
Examples or the FM I can use are welcome.
I tried to do search here, but I couldn't find anything that may help me..
So, please... Show me the light!!!
Thanks!!!

Read adobe form element

Hello all,
I have an application which must send and receive mail with PDF attachment. The send part is already working. The PDF is created with adobe interactive forms.
The receive of the PDF is partly working. I can get the mail and the PDF source and display the PDF file. But I need the fields on that PDF file to populate 2 badis. I don't know how I can do that.
I use WAS 6.40 SP 18 and developer studio SP 18.
Thanks in advance,
Patrick Willems

Hi Patrick,
It can be done by directly using the PDFObject API, e.g.
private byte[] getData(byte[] pdf) throws IOException {
 IPDFObject pdfObject = (IPDFObject) WDPDFObjectFactory.getPDFObject();
 pdfObject.setPDF(copy(pdf));
 pdfObject.setTraceLevel(0); // 0 - 4
 InputStream in = pdfObject.getData();
 return in == null ? null : IOUtils.toByteArray(in);
private ByteArrayOutputStream copy(byte[] in) throws IOException {
 ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream(in.length);
 out.write(in);
 return out;
This gives you the data.xml that you can parse using a SAX parser.
On the other hand, you say you can display the pdf. I suppose you use an InteractiveForm UI element? Then the fields in the pdf's template are bound to the Web Dynpro context. Isn't the context being populated when you set the value of the pdfSource attribute? Maybe invalidate the dataSource node before setting the value of pdfSource? I don't use this particular scenario and I'm not sure it works.
Kind regards,
Sigiswald

BPM Process with offline adobe forms - NW CE 7.2 SP3

Hi experts, I have to develop the following scenario and I still don´t know the correct way that I should follow, I have already created the Process Development DC, the XSD and the XDP files, I have also put the XSD and XDP files into portal drive.
Scenario:
1 - This scenario should be started by a webservice that will be created too, this webservice have to receive data that will be used in the whole process.
2 - Call some RFCs on ECC to retrieve data to prefill the off-line adobe form and the e-mail of the external destinations.
3 - Send adobe form for e-mail to some external destinations.
4 - Receive and read adobe form by a dedicated e-mail.
5 - Send each adobe form by e-mail to an internal user that could approve or reject the document.
6 - Call some RFC to approved documents.
7 - Send e-mail back to the receivers to notify about the document if it was approved or rejected.

The problem is that I am trying to model but a lot of doubts about are breaking me, I need some process sample to follow.
Know I am creating a process model, I have read about the Process Modeling Approaches but still don´t know wich I should use to my model:
Top-Down Approach
Bottom-Up Approach
Inside-Out Approach
Taking into account that this process starts on ECC and my process will get data from ECC, prefill and send off line adobe forms by e-mail to get external data to send on ECC after it, with approach I should choice ?
Does anybody have any process model sample to send me ? It will help me a lot.

RameshG

Hi,
Use of Adobe form:
As of SAP NetWeaver u201904 (in SAP Web Application Server), you can use a new solution to create interactive forms and print forms for the optimization of your form-based business processes. This solution uses Portable Document Format (PDF) and software from Adobe Systems Inc. that has been integrated into the SAP environment.
You can create interactive forms in PDF format that allow users to fill out the form on the screen and save their entries in XML format in the form. When the SAP system receives the PDF form, it extracts the data saved in the form, and can process it further.
Smart form Vs Adobe form
Smart forms / scripts are used to show the data in SAP. Most likely you will use these to print / display some kind of reciepts / forms.
but, Adobe forms are used to post data into SAP from SAP too.
●      Create form templates for the layout that include logos or pictures
●      Generate documents by merging form templates and current system data
●      Edit forms online or offline
●      Forms can be filled in advance automatically with specific data from SAP applications and then sent to the correct recipients using secure methods
●      Automatic consistency checks for forms
●      Activate enhanced functions such as comments
●      Digital signatures and form certification
●      Send completed forms to the SAP application with automatic updates of the business data
