Harmony,
A new BPM process instance could be triggered with the help of a web-service. So, all you need is to call the BPM process trigger web-service from a button UI element in your 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.

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.

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

Diff bet Adobe forms and smart forms?

Hi Friends
What is the diff between Adobe forms and Smart Forms
Thanks & Regards
Kanni

Hello,
Smartform:
To create and maintain forms for mass printing in SAP systems. Besides using the printer for standard output you can also select the Internet (by using a generated HTML output), a fax, or e-mail as the output medium. Smart Forms allows you to execute simple modifications to the form and in the form logic by using simple graphical tools
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/EN/16/a369b1800e4bdda978ee0fe3b7bd2c/frameset.htm
Adobe Form:
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.

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:

Forms and SAP BI Launch pad

Hi All,
I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place, but this crosses 2 paths. PDf Forms and SAP BI Launch Pad
I have a PDF Form created in Adobe LiveCycle and I wanted to add it to the CMC so users of the Launch Pad could all have access in one place to all company forms, and it looks fine, but the buttons no longer work, (submit, print, drop downs), and the tab order is all over the map. Is this not possible?
Any help greatly appreciated!

if you just mean that when some people reach the page they are still seeing enterprise as default and not SAP it is because of cookies in their browser. Have them clear their cache and try again.

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.
