This is an issue with the SAP GUI vs Adobe Reader 9. OSS note 1308147 refers to this. Followed the work around mentioned at

  • Adobe Print form error: Initialization of the font server module failed.

    Hi all,
    When trying to open a PDF preview the error below is displayed:
    "Initialization of the font server module failed."
    The problem occurs with SAP GUI 7.10 patch 15 and Adobe Reader 9
    With SAP GUI 7.10 patch 12 and 13 with Adobe Reader 9 the problem do not happen.
    Has anybody faced this kind of problem? Is it a SAP GUI patch release issue?
    Any help is welcome.
    Kind regards,
    Thiago Viaro

    Hi Thiago,
    We had exactly the same problem, but also with sp 12 and 13 for sapgui 710.
    After applying ECL 6.0 Patch 4, the problem was solved.
    Please have a look at sap note 1308147 and 1356854

    My issue is,  when a run the program  to generate a PDF, using the FMu2019s 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
    , 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME', CALL FUNCTION i_funcname, the Adobe Forms was created with disables fields. I canu2019t fill it and canu2019t press the button to call WS on ECC.

    Hi fabio,
    When you say the example ran successfully is it without any error messages..?
    Did you check in spool "SP01" if there something sitting out there.
    To my understanding PDF rendring is dependent in 2 aspects.
    1) the output device type you select (this should be a PDF enabled printer)
    2) Programatically if you say it should go to a printer or spool.
    Just try with FP_TEST_00 either in sfp or SE38 and try both print preview and print.
    in print priview it should display the PDF on the screen.
    In print it should display as success message and in spool it should have the corresponding PDF. if both are working fine then the ADS and output device config are correct and it all depends on how do you handle the PDF output.
    Just try the above approach and post the results,
    Cheers,

  • Is Adobe Form Central compatible with WIX?

    Is Adobe Form Central compatible with WIX.com?

    Hi kbeam-bci,
    While I'm not very familiar with WIX.com, Adobe FormsCentral does have an Embed Form option, which allows you to embed your form on a website. There are also several Embed options, such as including (or not) the page background colors and header, among others.
    Please let me know if this answers your question.

  • Adobe Reader substitutes Helvetica with a serif font under Ubuntu Linux 8.04

    Hello,
    after an upgrade to Ubuntu Linux 8.04, the following problem occurs:
    Short description:
    Adobe Reader substitutes Helvetica with a serif font (Adobe Serif MM).
    Long description:
    A font that is not embedded in the PDF should be replaced by a similar one that is available on the system. In particular, sans serif fonts should always be substituted by other sans serif fonts. However, Adobe Reader substitutes Helvetica (which is sans serif) with a serif font (Adobe Serif MM).
    Prerequisites:
    Operating System: Ubuntu Linux 8.04
    Adobe Reader Version: 8.1.2
    PDF-Document: uses Helvetica, but font is not embedded
    Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?
    Regards
    Alexander

    Hi Alexander,
    It used to work in 7.10 because by default, we used to cache all font-config fonts on every launch of the reader. But, in 8.1.2, in order to improve the launch timings on systems which have large number of fonts, we have made caching of font-config fonts optional through the use of the flag that you mentioned in your note (ACRO_ENABLE_FONT_CONFIG).
    Thanks,

  • Can we run oracle Forms 5 Application with 10G in Client/Server?

    Hi All,
    Can we run oracle Forms 5 Application with 10G in Client/Server
    Mode?
    Regards
    Gaurav

    In theory you can run it 2 tier - which means that you have the client (the machine the user is sitting at) being the same machine in which the forms application server is running. So yes. But specifically, we don't support a client server runtime anymore. 6i was the last version.
    With 10g you will be running through a browser.

  • ADOBE Form Using Table with dynamic number of rows

    Hi All
    First some information about our infrastructure:
    - AdobeDesigner 7.1 in the Developerstudio
    - SAP-Portal 7.0 SP15
    I have a View with tabstrips and behind the tabs i have defined an event. On one Tab I included a ADOBE-Form with Table. The Data for the PDF sould only filled in the context for the Form when i jump to this Tab. I created the Form by using this documentation [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e0859ad1-53aa-2a10-78ae-99e41c407669].
    To fill the tablecontext I use the following Code:
    IPrivateAnlegenBANFView.IPositionenElement position = null;
    IPrivateAnlegenBANFView.IPositionenNode posNode = wdContext.nodePositionen();
    int NUM_5_TIMES = 5;
    for (int i = 0; i < NUM_5_TIMES; i) {
    IPrivateAnlegenBANFView.IPositionenElement posElement = wdContext.createPositionenElement();
    +posElement.setMaterial("" + i);+
    +posElement.setKurztext("Test" + i);+
    +posElement.setWarengruppe("Warengr" + i);+
    posNode.addElement(posElement);
    If i put this code in the wdDoInit method it  works fine and shows me 5 Rows. But if I put the code in the Action of the tabstrip it shows me only one row. I checked the entries of the context and there are 5 entries (showed them in a WD-Table).
    Can someone tell me what im doing wrong?
    Thanks for a answer and kind regards
    Pascal

    Hi All
    finally i found the solution for the problem.
    When you define the interactive Form in the view do not define the property "dataSource" of UI-Element Interactive Form it seems, that the binding is static and not dynamic.
    Add the following source to the viewCotroller
    Global Part of the Source:
    private static IWDInteractiveForm form = null;
    Method wdDoModify:
    if (firstTime) {
      form = (IWDInteractiveForm) view.getElement("InteractiveForm");
    When you have an Event where you fill your Contextnode which you want to display in the table of an Adobe Form Use this code:
    Action:
    public void onActionFillTab(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent ){
      //@@begin onActionFillTab(ServerEvent)
         * Code to fill the Node for AdobeForm Table
        form.bindDataSource(wdContext.nodeTabelle().getNodeInfo());
      //@@end
    If you want to clear your table and show it directly use in the action the following code:
    wdContext.nodeTabelle().invalidate();
    form.bindDataSource(wdContext.nodeTabelle().getNodeInfo());
    Kind regards

  • Adobe Form to direct XML Data to FTP Server

    Hello:
    I had created a Adobe form connected to a MIcrosoft Database which will provide data connections and import data into the access database. As the information in the PDF form is used to populate a application, I would like to have the form when submitted to send a XML file with only the specific data they need to the FTP server. Has anyone experienced this? or know of a possible solution?
    Regards,
    Randy

    Hi Sreekanth,
        YOu have to use the function modules
    FTP_CONNECT, FTP_SERVER_TO_R3 and FTP_DISCONNECT to get the file from FTP to R/3.
    Then you can use call transformation statement to convert XML string to internal table.

  • Adobe form code initialization with HCM Processes and Forms?

    Hi,
    We're trying to dynamically determine some language-dependent text label values in the form interface code initialization routine before displaying an interactive PDF form. All works fine when using the transaction SFP test tool, label values are dynamically determined using the code on the PDF printout.
    However in our case, the interactive form is embedded in a HCM P&F scenario and when launching the process form WDA application from the UWL, it looks like the same code initialization code is executed (when debugging it) but the values are not updated on the PDF when displaying.
    Any ideas how to go forward? Should we instead be using an ISR BAdI or such to do the same thing? We do not want to store all the label fields in the HCM P&F form scenario, because they are not supposed to be stored in HCM, we just need to dynamically display some text labels on the PDF form.
    We're on SAP ERP 6.0 EhP4, NW 7.01.
    Best regards,
    Mikko

    Hi Chris,
    thanks for your answer. Just to give you some background on the requirement, we are dealing with the public sector and they are let's say quite strict about form appearances
    To elaborate more, we have a need to build a single work contract printout PDF form for all the company codes (embedded into a second form scenario in our HCM P&F hiring process), because 90% of the layout and of all the labels in the work contract are common to all ccodes. Unfortunately for us, there are however some static texts / text labels with their translations whose customer requirements vary between the company codes. In addition, the customer is not ready to harmonize these texts mostly because of legal reasons. An example of this is as follows:
    - ccode 1 label: work contract (+ translations to several languages)
    - ccode 2 label: work contract approved by local union (+ translations to several languages)
    - ccode 3 label: work contract signed and approved by local union and company (+ translations to several languages)
    As silly as the requirement may seem, they are not ready to harmonize these labels into a single label because of these reasons (we have tried this many times without much success and told them about the technical difficulties to come). So we need to come up with a working solution
    What we have gone forward with so far is a Z-table containing all the dynamic texts and their translations. We are now just looking for a way how to dynamically populate PDF form label values upon runtime. In normal PDF print form cases (= without HCM P&F involved), the code initialization routine works just fine. We bind the label values to the form interface elements and then upon runtime we populate the interface elements in the routine based on the incoming company code value.
    But this is where we are stuck now. It seems HCM P&F somehow prevents or overwrites the changes done in the PDF forms code initialization routine when launching the PDF form from UWL and the HCM P&F process form WDA app and I'm looking for ways to make it happen.
    Any ideas?
    Kind regards,
    Mikko

  • Adobe form conditional breaks with subtotal

    Hi,

    TESTE 1 0 0 20 Z001
    TESTE 1 0 0 20 Z001

    Hi Sai,
    Thank you very much for the reply,
    I have to implement something like a dynamic table:
    Imagine
    I have one table with the  purchase items of all the companies, like that:
    XBLNR NETTO     Company Code
    TESTE   20            Z001
    TESTE   20            Z001
    TESTE   30            Z002
    TESTE   30            Z002
    TESTE   30            Z002
    TESTE   60            Z003
    TESTE   30            Z003
    So i have to display that by company, and when finish the las item i have to add a line with the subtotal like that:
    XBLNR NETTO     Company Code
    TESTE   20            Z001
    TESTE   20            Z001
    Subtotal 40
    TESTE   30            Z002
    TESTE   30            Z002
    TESTE   30            Z002
    Subtotal 90
    TESTE   60            Z003
    TESTE   30            Z003
    subtotal 90
    I had already the conditional break for break when the data[-1].bukrs ne data.bukrs but when i put the script for calculate the value the result it is all the items.
    Thank you in advance.

  • Adobe forms supported compatibility with Windows 7?

    Hi all,
    I want to know Windows 7 will support adobe interactive forms or not? If yes, what will be the adobe reader version needed and any patch to be updated?
    Please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Sathishkumar GS

    In my opinion forms should work in any Reader version released for Win 7 (I don´t know which versions are these, because I am still on Vista). I also think that even older versions od Reader should work ok, since there are some compatibility modes in Win 7, aren´t they? I would not worry about the technical side.
