And the function give to me an error because the help table field doesn't exist.
What I must do?

Adobe Forms and Synchornization

Hi,
I wanted to find some documentation or guidance on Adobe Forms. We wanted to know how Adobe forms can be integrated with a netweaver backend. Specifically some information on how the following two scenarios are processed:
1) User fills out an adobe form and clicks the SubmitoSAP button. What is the mechanism by which the data on the form is posted to a netweaver backend (ultimately to a table). Please provide a step by step approach as I am very new to adobe forms.
2) User fills out an adobe form and clicks the SubmittoSAPbutton (in disconnected mode). Where is the data temporarily stored or staged till a connection is made. Does the user have to reopen the form and click on the button again when connected or will the form automatically synchornize with the NW backend once connection is established.
Any help/documentation will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mahwish

Hi Mahwish,
1. An Interactive Form in online mode is always relying on the underlying technology to send data to SAP (or non-SAP) systems.
Typically in an online scenario you can use Web Dynpro for ABAP or Java. In this case, the data transfer is handled by the application and the PDF form acts as a screen. You can check <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/developerareas/webdynpro?rid=/library/uuid/49f2ea90-0201-0010-ce8e-de18b94aee2d#pdf">the following tutorials on SDN</a>.
2. The logic you mention cannot be written in the form. The interactive form must be seen as a screen (in online mode) and as a data container (in offline mode).
Another possibilities are offline usage with mail sending to an SAP backend, upload of the filled PDF in an application connected to the backend.
A lot of documentation can be found here:

Hi Liem,
Here is some more information:
1)
Accessing data in Table Cell
xfa.resolveNode("xfa.data.my_data.tableData[" + this.parent.index + "].column1").value
2) Accessing data nodes in Context
xfa.datasets.data.my_data.second_node.an_attribute.value == "3"

What is the relation between adobe forms and web dynpro

hi
what is the relation between adobe forms and web dynpro

Hi Jyothsna,
Adobe forms are advanced to smartforms and scripts.
Adobe forms are much easier than smartforms they are online forms.
they can be developed online.
Adobe forms : This is another SAP tool designed to create your own forms. The transaction for this is SFP.
How to use them: You can create a sales order form in adobe form and send to the sales reps. Sales reps can fill this form when they are not connected to internet / SAP system. Once they connect to SAP just send an e-mail to a specific user id in outlook. You got to customize and code how do you want to process once you receive this form. This enables you to create orders even when you are not connected to the system. Hence no data loss. This is not how i used though :-). This is just my idea.
What is the difference between Adobe forms and smart forms / scripts.
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. Many companies must be using this for hard copies / ALE / EDI or to transfer data from SAP to others.
Adobe forms are used to post data into SAP from SAP too. So this has an additional feature compared to smartforms.
Please check this link

Web dynpro in one of the component in NETWEAVER.
Web Dynpro is the SAP NetWeaver programming model for user interfaces and provides support when developing the Web representation of business applications. The Web Dynpro model is based on the Model View Controller paradigm, and has the following features that build on the classic dynpro model:
·        Clear separation of business logic and display logic
·        Uniform metamodel for all types of user interfaces
·        Execution on a number of client platforms.
·        Extensive platform independence of interfaces

Hello. I have adobe forms and received the alert that it will be ending in July. Then I received an email about Adobe Acrobat XI Pro which can create forms. I signed up for the free trial and when I began to make a new form it brings me back to Adobe Form

Hello. I have adobe forms and received the alert that it will be ending in July. Then I received an email about Adobe Acrobat XI Pro which can create forms. I signed up for the free trial and when I began to make a new form it brings me back to Adobe Forms. My question is, when Adobe Forms ends on July 28th will Adobe Acrobat XI Pro be able to create forms or will it now? and if not, then why is adobe advertising for it still?

What you're calling "Adobe Forms" is really Adobe FormsCentral. The FormsCentral service is indeed going away soon, but you can always create PDF forms (AcroForms) with Acrobat. Acrobat also comes with a desktop version of the FormsCentral desiger, which can be used to create simple PDF forms that can be used apart from the FormsCentral service. So you'll no longer be able to create and host web forms with the FormsCentral service or use PDF forms with the FormsCentral service. You will be able to create standalone PDF forms with Acrobat and simple PDF forms with the FormsCentral desktop app.

Reg value table and check table

Hi Friends,
I have defined a value table(ZVALTAB) for a domain and defined the relation ship between check table(ZCHKTAB) and dependent table(ZDEPTAB). Here value table and check table both are different. My problem is while I am entering the values into check table, it is not restricting the values to enter into check table even those values are not in value table. And while I am entering values into the dependent table through the menu option Utilities->Create entries then also foreign key is not working. But when I use the SM30 then the foreign key is working. So can any body explain me when this value table restrict the values and why the option Utilities->Create entries is not validating the foreign key relation ship.
Sathish Reddy

Hi,
Value Table will just provide you the possible set of values. It won't restrict u for the wrong entries. Moreover whenever u enter entries thru Create entries no user interface is available. The constraints whatever we give is not at all stored in the Data Dictionary. Only the user interface which takes care all about this. Hence it wont restrict you. For this u have to create table maintenance generator for your table. Then it will restrict the values against check table.
Both Value table and Check table will provide u possible set of values. But only the check table will restrict the values.
Hope this will help u.

How to upload a collection of records from adobe form into a table in BAPI

We are creating an appliction using web dynpro and adobe that will allow users to update PO status information offline. The information is downloaded into a form and then updated offline by the vendor. After this change the form is uploaded into the application and sent to SAP R/3 via a BAPI call. The BAPI provides the information for different PO's as a table structure (many items - collection) which is downloaded into the form and displayed as a table. The download part works and we can upload the modified file also. We can even see the data getting loaded into the controller context after we upload the form.
The problem is when we try to execute the BAPI to upload the data. The data in the table structure does not seem to upload, only the non-table structure field values get posted back. Logs at the BAPI show "0" records uploaded. Couple of other fields which are not part of the table structure get uploaded properly.
Can someone please provide some insights - help on what could be going wrong. Any debugging ideas or checking logs to see if the data is really getting pushed from the webdynpro/adobe app to the R/3 system would be helpfull.
Our R/3 setup is ECC5 on a AIX server and the adobe webdynpro setup is NW04s on a different different AIX server.
Thanks

Adobe forms and portal

we are using adobe forms to open and print appraisals in ess. When we click on print appraisal, adobe does not open up, i have checked connections and they look fine. We get a time out error and it looks like it is pointing to the web dispatcher OFCOMTOLS026_EWX_01
the server is ofcomtols026, EWX is the dispatcher, should the portal be pointing to this in the ERP system, where is this setup to point to this?
Any help would be great

Subha:
Your PDFs can be generated in ADS on Portal or ECC systems. From what you describe it looks like in your case it is ADS on ECC and there is a web dispatcher, doing load balancing of HTTP connects for ECC J2EE engine. In this case web dispatcher is a correct destination.
My recommendation for the troubleshooting:
1. Make sure ADS forms generated OK by accessing one of the ECC app servers directly. If Adobe form is not generated, check ADS settings. Here is a nice doc:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f03414f8-d4ce-2a10-d4b6-ab201b329d98
2. Once Adobe Form is verified, check access via Web Dispatcher. It is possible that its permission table does not allow ADS urls.
Jaya:
You should not be able to connect the portal to a webdispatcher. Only browsers talk via webdispatcher.
I am sorry, but this is not true. Web dispatcher can route pretty much any TCP/IP protocol. In most cases it is used for routing HTTP/S (not only for browsers), but it can transfer a binary format as well. One time I even used web dispatcher to do port forwarding for Microsoft WTS.

Print Adobe Form AND Save a PDF file

Hi Experts
We have a situation where I need to print the output of an Adobe Form (printing only, it is not dynamic) that is generated during the dispatch process. In this case it is a Picking slip, but the same will apply to other documents. Currently, this works well - the output is produced and sent to the correct printer.
A new requirement by the business is that they need an audit copy of this document. This document needs to be saved in a certain folder on a file server. I know I can do this by using the getPDF setting of SFPOUTPUTPARAMS, and I have done it before for other applications.
However (and this is the question!), it seems that when I set getPDF, the print output does not appear anymore. Can anyone explain to me how to produce BOTH print output and a file copy of the PDF at the same time please?
Thanks
Casper

Adobe form for checks

Hi All,
Can any expert suggest me whether SAP supports Adobe form for cheque form, because the option of selecting Script and PDF form is disable and by default it is SAP Script, when I try to assign form in the form for payment media in paying company code.
If it supports then how can I make that selection active and select PDF form for the payment medium.
Thanks&Regards
Srinivas

Hi Srinivas,
In FBZP configuration Payment method in country select the payment medium as PMW (CHECK - standard is there) instead of RFFO classic program.
Then it will enable you to select the PDF in the payment method in company code config. Then you can create your ADOBE form as assign it in the same place.
Hope this helps you. If you need any additional information let me know.
