Adobe Form unable to Save work

Hi All,
I'm creating a Adobe Form via NWDS. under the View -> Layout -> InteractiveForms-> Edit(right click), I've created some input fields and display fields. Then save all MetaData, Rebuild project.
After that when I'm trying to edit the Form again via Layout -> Interactive Form -> Edit(right click). The form turn out to be empty again. It seems like nothing is being save
Anyone know what happen and how to solve it ? Thanks.

Hi
If you want to edit the form from within WD, make sure that a white window pops up, telling you that DTR has realized that someone is editing the file. Otherwise nothing will ever be saved. You must be connected to NWDI for this to work.
Another solution is the following:
1. Go to the place where your xdp-File lies (eg: C:\..\.dtc\0\DCs\sap.com\<Project name>\_comp\src\configuration\Components\<componentname>/<filename>.xdp
2. Copy the file to some other place (remove write protection)
3. Doubleclick the file - Adobe Lifecycle Designer opens
4. After editing, save the file, set the write protection again and copy the file back to its place under your project directory
5. In DTR-view of Developer Studio add the file manually to an activity (click through the inactive tree structure and right click on the file-> DTR->edit)
That way you can savely edit the file (make lots of security copies) and you don't have to use the plug in editor from WD.

Hi,
Actually, after a bit more checking I've found SAP note 962763 with more detail.
You do need Adobe LiveCycle Designer and can download the installer from SAP Service
Marketplace:
http://service.sap.com/installations

Adobe Form Calling WebService Doesnu00B4t work with Adobe Reader 7

Hi experts,
We have created and adobe form that simulates a PM Notification in which the user, without logging into SAP, through an RFC and WebServices can create the notification into SAP.
This process only works with Adobe Reader 9 and not with Adobe Reader 7.
Can anyone tell me what main difference/component/functionality does Adobe Reader 9 have that Adobe Reader 7 doesn´t?
When I call the Webservice through the form in Adobe 7, a pop-up message appears that says:
"Error attempting to read from file.
http://desaecc6.codelco.cl:8001/sap/bc/rfc/sap/zi_aviso_adobe_pm12/222/zi_aviso_adobe_pm12/zi_aviso_adobe_pm12"
Any ideas why this error ocurrs only in Adobe Reader 7?
Thanks and best regards,
Fernando Montenegro

Hello,
I cannot tell what are the exact differencies between the version. But I can tell you should always use (at least try to use the newest Reader). I guess you´re not the only developer on Forms, so there are possibly more people depending on the version of the client browser/ Reader. There is a solution for this problem, which does not ask anything from you, only the user.
You can easily test the Reader version through JS coding and act based on the result. I use this like this "if your Reader is lower than 8.1" then "message popup = We are sorry, your Reader is too old, this form won´t work for you. Please upgrade first.". It takes like 5 minutes (10 for lame users at max) to update his Reader.
Maybe you should this about such a test, if the user passes the test, his application won´t have any problem, if not there is no guarantee. And YOU have no problem, nobody tells you "hey sir, your form is not working, I´m not gonna pay you".

Problem while using an adobe form "Unable to fulfil request for memory"

Hi Experts,
When I try to call a Adobe Form from the porta,l the system encounters a problem and the error message is "Unable to fulfil request for 3665920 bytes of memory space.".Could yopu please provide you valuable suggestion to resolve the issue.
Thanks.
Arun.

Hey fellow ADS developer,
I had this issue once and had hard time to figure out from where it was coming!
In fact, check the free space on your SAP Server hard disk (or ask admin guys). It might be that there is no more hard disk! Because every time you generate a form, it is stored on your server harddisk. You need to flush all that temp stuff regularly.
Hope this helps

Adobe Reader unable so save fillable form

I am trying to fill out a PDF Form, but if does not allow me to save changes unless I save a copy. The PDF is already saved as reader extended, I have Adobe XI Pro but several others users only have Adobe Reader. This form was working just fine last week. I tried opening with Reader X and XI and neither will allow me to save the changes.

Thank you I will have them try this.
On a separate note- I am sending these forms on a private social networking site and when they click them it opens in a new browser tab. If they fill it out from the tab and then save it to their computer it does not save what they wrote; its just blank. I have had to have my students save to a computer file first then fill out from there and save it and then upload it again to the site. Is there a way to make it save right from the browser?

Reader enabled form unable to save-- PLEASE HELP!

Hi
My colleague experienced an issue that I don't know why it happened.
I created a form via Acrobat Pro 9, and reader-enabled it so that she could fill in the information.
Prior to sending her the file, I have tried it using Reader 8 and saved it, and even collecting the info with no trouble.
However my colleague did not have the same easy experience as I.
She said she tried 'saving' it and got a message saying 'she could not save the file but could print it.' and she can't even 'attach via email' to send this form to me!
I don't know why this would be the case. Could it be the problem with my form? Or, the version of reader that she had (I am assuming she would have the same version as I since we work at the same organization!)
Can someone please help solve this mystery? I need to send the form out to other people but must fix this before
Thanks so much!
Much appreciated!

Hi GKaiseril:
Answers to your questions:
What product and version was being used by the person who could not save the PDF? *Not sure but likely Acrobat Reader 8.0
Did you apply Extended Reader Rights or Enabling Comments? *Yes. Extended reader rights.
Did you apply any security? *No security added.
I found out that she was 'adding' changes onto the 'filled' form that I sent her. Perhaps that form was not reader-enabled or, she has done something that was not allowing her to save.
Is her troubles normal?

Online Adobe Interactive Form must be changed before SAVE works properly

HI guys,
We are using Adobe Reader X.
We arr launching an ABAP Web Dynpro application that has an Adobe Interactive Form linked to it.
Our Adobe Form has many "subforms" and we determine what you see based off your Web Dynpro choices
The problem we are having is the display of the Adobe Form will change perfectly, but if you SAVE a copy to your PC using the Adobe buttons, what gets saved to your PC doesn't match what you see on the screen.
However, if you change any data on the Adobe Form and then SAVE, the version on your PC now matches what you see on the screen.
Has anyone else run into this?
Thanks,
Anthony

Hi Antony,
At the 1st intance, you have data completly, and on change event you are making the subforms visibility dyanmically.
Fine now once the form is saved locally, and then its opened, the Abobe reader doesn't know the visibility status.
So here again on form ready check the repective field value which treggers its visibility and set its presence.
For example: if the form is like flowing to different users in a workflow, to maintain its earlier status this is how I do it.
which mean I will have a same validation and script for both form ready & change events.
Hope this helps you out.
Cheers,
Sai

Webservices in Adobe form fails even when it works fine in Portals.

Hi All,
I am new to web services in adobe form, can somebody help me to understand the reason of failing web service call in my adobe form.
We are working on a simple adobe form with a simple webservice. the web service is in SAP CRM 7.0 and we are designing the form in Livecycle designer stand alone not through SFP tcode.
problem is when we execute the web service from adobe form nothing happens.
There is no script in the adobeform to check if the web serive is called. the technical team claims there is no hit happening to the service. but when we execute the same web service with in a simple web dynpro app in portal it does work.
earlier we had some similar forms with web service which used to work, now they are also not working from adobeform.
Are we missing something, when importing/data connection a webservice how do we make sure from the form that the connection and trigger are successful.
Please let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks & Regards
Sai Krishna.

Hi All,
Just a small update on the query I posted.
I searched tru and found couple of posts in Adobe fourm which says
Adobe readers cannot execute web services, to do so we need to have Reader Extension on the Adobe reader.
Is this the problem for my form, if i just dont understand why such restrictions for developers at the design time itself..?

Adobe forms: Displaying work area data in different windows

Hi,
I have a requirement of showing work area data in different windows i.e work area which has sent from program needs to come in different windows of the form. I have created a smartform which will perfectly doing the above logic. The above work area also contains amount fields. I am also passing language 'English' or 'French', based on this i am displaying some texts also.
But Client wants to see the same requirement in Adobe forms. Ao i am new to Adobe forms, I need some help for performing the above scenario. I am doing my research on this. But i want to know the steps which will not reduce the performance.
In smartform, first window contains personnel no from work area and the second window contains address from work area. Then i have created a template with employee premium amount column, company premium amount column and total of that, all these from work area. So work area will contain only one row which i have to show in different window and on template.
In Adobe forms, How can i do the same this which i have done in smart forms.
Please suggest me any one in doing this. I appreciate your answers.
Thanks,
s.vikgnesh

Hi,
Yes as Santoosh said there is no such wiondow option in Adobe forms.
But if you use webdynpro java/Abap we can acheive this.
think something like this below, if it works.
have 2 views 1st for the adobe form, 2nd view in a new window for the work area screen.
in the adobe view have a button for the work area and respective event handler.
in the event handler call this window, and then reload the same adobe form.
if from the work area form if you need value to be passed to this adobe form. have a event handler for this.
when purpose is done, close that window and set value to the required context field on the form. and reload that adobe form.
this is a fuzzy process and time consuming, unless business has no other option we dont go this approach.
but for sure this works, we did the same for a EHS process.

Adobe form not saving data.

hi Experts,
I am facing strange problems with Adobe forms.
I am working on both Offline and online adobe forms.
adobe form which i make does not allow to save data.
I am using the Adobe liveCycle designer 7.1.
The Adobe reader version is 7.08
and service pack is SPS 11.
I have used both the tutorials for offline and online adobe forms.
Online Problem :-
The project for online works fine and it also allows to save data(when i save the form on my PC).
But when i create a new form on my machine it does not allow to save data.
Really confuse what the problem is.
I have also tried this.
Copeid the XDP file from the Online tutorial project into my project
if i use this work around the the problem is resolved. But i am no able to understand why the XDP CREATED on my machine does not work.
Offline problem:-
In this case i am not able to save data in the form at all.
As the PDF created itself not allow to save data.
Please help.
Points would be awarded to helpful answers.
Regards,
Sanjyoti.

Hi Satya & sanjyoti,
I am facing a pecular problem in using Adobe forms.
I am able to pass data from webdynpo application, to the Interactive form(using mappings, as mentioned by satya).
But for the same form & WD application, i am not able to pass data from the Interactive Form, back to the WD application.
My scenario is like this:
I need to show a form, with some prefilled data, such as date, userID, etc. I populate the node in my WD application, & then call the form.
The form displays the above prefilled data. Now the user has to fill the remaining fields & click on submit(Submit-to-sap button). The onsubmit property of the Interactive form is mapped to a onaction event, where WD tries to read the data entered by the user.
The problem is that on clicking of the submit button in the form, the event is not getting called.
If i use a button in the WD view itself, then the action gets called, but there is no data. In short, the data is NOT getting passed from Interactive form to WD application.
Can you please help me out with this?
Thanks,
Hanoz

Submitting Adobe Form by E-Mail

Hope someone can help me
I have an entry form for an event created in Word and converted into an fillable Adobe Form, all of which works OK. I now want to add an option to submit by email before I add the form to the webpage.
I have done this previously and it worked OK, and there was an option to Submit Form next to the option to Highlight Existing Fields (in the purple toolbar). When this was clicked, it opened up a Send Form window where you could enter your email address & full name. This was perfect, and what I want again......
The problem is I cant figure out how to do this. The only thing I can find online is how to add a submit button, but when I do this it asks you to select if its a web email or outlook, and then asks you to save the form.
Can anyone help please? Ive tried searching online to find a solution to no avail
Thanks
Neil

Add a button and attach a "Submit form" action to its Mouse Up event. You yourself don't need to have an email address set up in order to do that.
As the target URL enter this code (replace the dummy address with your own, of course):

Issue While printing / Previewing a Adobe form in Web Dynpro ABAP application

Dear All,
We have designed 4 different adobe forms using SFP transaction for 4 different countries in SAP system.
Every country have different terms and conditions and therefore we have placed static texts (Hardcoded text) with text in different styles. Some text is in bold, some in different font (Bold, Italic). Font and Paragraph settings of the text was done as per expected. All the forms have same font and paragraph settings.
When we Launch Web Dynpro ABAP application to open the form in Print preview or to take print, form is not getting displayed / printed as it is designed in SFP. But if you open the form in SFP, everything looks fine.
It is working fine for 3 different forms but problem with only 1 form.
Kindly guide what is the reason for this strange issue when previewed or taken print. It is very urgent.
Thanks,
Bharath.K

Dear All,
Thanks for your responses.
We had identified the reason.
Customer has provided terms and conditions for all 4 countries in PDF document. Along with PDF, for 3 out of 4 countries customer has shared pre-prepared word document with pre aligned and justified terms and conditions as per expected outcome. We copied this text from word to Adobe form layout. It worked fine. For 1 country, customer have not shared terms and conditions in word document. Therefore we had copied text directly from adobe PDF document in to Form layout. Then this issue happened.
Solution for this issue is to, prepared a word document with expected alignment and justification of terms and conditions text . Then copied from word to adobe livecycle designer form layout. It worked fine.
Thanks,
Bharath.
