Adobe Forms - Code Initialization question in ABAP

Hi All,
How do you access an adobe form parameter in the code Initialization section that is passed in the adobe form function call.
I need to retrieve one of the parameters to modify one of my Global Definitions.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Maybe I need to refine my question a bit since it has not been answered.
When the following is called. Can I refer to the parameter CUSTOMER in the 'Code Initialization' section of the form interface? Are these parameters global in scope?
Thank you,
CALL FUNCTION FM_NAME
    EXPORTING
      /1BCDWB/DOCPARAMS        = FP_DOCPARAMS
      CUSTOMER                 = CUSTOMER
      BOOKINGS                 = BOOKINGS
      CONNECTIONS              = CONNECTIONS
   IMPORTING
    /1BCDWB/FORMOUTPUT       =
    EXCEPTIONS
      USAGE_ERROR           = 1
      SYSTEM_ERROR          = 2
      INTERNAL_ERROR           = 3.

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

Error when Interative Adobe Form is called from Webdynpro ABAP.

Hi Experts,
I trying to call a Interactive adobe form from ABAP Webdynpro application but I am facing the below error.

When I uncheck the enabled property of the Interactive From in the Page of the WebDynpro I am able to execute the application successfully.But the Adobe form behaves as a Static Form when I uncheck the enabled property.
So kindly provide your valuable suggestions to avoid the above error when I am calling a Interactive adobe form from Webdynpro ABAP.
Thanks in Advance.

Hello,
Hello, are you sure you have your ADS credentials configured correctly and valid? I guess you know that is the only difference between clicking enabled on true or false. If you are not sure, you can use SE38, search for FP_* and pick some reports to check the licencing. The names of the reports are good enough to recognize the right one.
Or maybe that is a security problem? Have you checked the ADS_ERROR string? Did you use the ADS trace?
check: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/2c/241a427ff6db2ce10000000a1550b0/content.htm
and especially note 999998

Interactive Adobe form is not interactive in ABAP WD

Hello,
I've created an Adobe form with interactive UI elements (text input fields). When simulating these in the Adobe designer, they are all working fine. However, when executing the form embedded in an ABAP WD, the input fields are not active.
When I check the 'enable' check box of the form, a runtime error occurs.
Any assistance on that is highly appreciated.
Rene

Hi Rene,
seems as if your system is on a low support package...
If you go on to SP10 which should be there shortly, then you can also use ZCI in addition to ACF...
Can you check your ADS configuration? See the relevant section on Adobe integration in http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/e86de5008b4d9ae10000000a155369/frameset.htm

Adobe Form dumps in Web Dynpro ABAP Application but opens up by Report

Hello Experts,
I created a form and tested it by creating a report which contains following code,
   call function 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
        exporting
          i_name     = lv_form_name "my form name
        importing
          e_funcname = iv_function_name.
*retrieve data in lt_items
call function iv_function_name
    exporting
      /1bcdwb/docparams = fp_docparams
      it_item            = lt_items
      is_header          = is_header
      control_parameter = ls_control_parameters
    importing
      /1bcdwb/formoutput = fp_formoutput
    exceptions
      usage_error        = 1
      system_error       = 2
      internal_error     = 3.
However when I try to do it on click of a button in my Web Dynpro Application, it dumps (the action has very much the similar code).
The error is: USAGE_ERROR

Thanks in advance for your help.

Adobe Forms - FormCalc Scripting Question for Image Control

Hi All,
I have three images on my master page. I have a hidden text field. Based on a certain value within this text field I need to turn off Imagefield B and ImageField C and Leave ImageField A visible.
I know this can be done via FormCalc scripting.
My Questions:
Which event shoudl I put the script in? I was thinking the textfield initialize event.
What would be the EXACT syntax to turn turn image fields on or off?
Please inform if know.
Regards,
Salil

I solved it now, just changing the FormCalc expression.
Instead of using the expression:
this.value.image.href = xfa.resolveNode(this.value.image.href).value;
I used this:
this.value.image.href = xfa.record.Images.URL;
The URL value of Image Field, in this case is:
<b>$record.Images[*].URL</b>
And, to finish, I needed to add a Text Field bounded to <b>$record.Imagens[*].URL</b>, case else the image doesn't appear.
That's it!

Problem with Table display in Adobe Form of Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi Team,
I'm trying to display a table in Adobe Print Form (not interactive). The table is bound to the context node in the Web Dynpro ABAP where the cardinality is 0:N. I get a short dump. Don't know what to do here. I'm able to display individual fields from my context successfully. Looks like something is missing when I try to display a table. Any pointers to display a data table in Adobe? Any step by step example you know of where I can find out what I did wrong? Many thanks for your time
We are on support pack SP06 on 2004S release.
DUMP INFORMATION:
Short text
    Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.
What happened?
    Error in the ABAP Application Program The current ABAP program "CL_WD_ADOBE_SERVICES==========CP" had to be terminated because it has come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL', was not caught in procedure "CREATE_PDF" "(METHOD)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.

Hi Thomas,
We upgraded our system(2004S) to SP10 so that we can use the ADOBE form printing in Web Dynpro ABAP but could not apply note 1034425 because of the validity constraints in SNOTE. All the pre-requisite notes are already in the system apart from one note 1029721 which talks about supporting input helps. We don't want to use input helps in our system and cannot upgrade to SP11 because of problems with Business functionality.
Questions:
1) Is note 1034425 absolutely dependent on 1029721?
2) If NOT, can someone please correct the validity so that we can implement using SNOTE.
3) Would it be OK if we manually apply the changes specified in 1034425 without implementing 1029721?
4) If all of the above is not applicable, is there any other note which fixes the above mentioned short dump.
Your help in this matter will greatly help us in using the ADOBE services provided by SAP WDA.
Thanks much

Issue with displaying ADOBE forms using ABAP dynpro

Hi all,
We are trying to display the adobe form in the portal using ABAP dynpro. but as i test the application in R/3 it throws the dump in ST22. if i see that dump it says Uncaught exception in ADS, forms are not interactive, data can be provided on interactive forms only. But if we try the same aplication using Java dynpro it runs successfully.
What can be the issue, is there any problem with ADS configuration.
Its urgent. Please provide some inputs.
Thanks and Regards

Thanks Abhi,
I checked displayType it is already native and form type also ZCI. still there is same problem
In st22, it shows exception as
Error analysis
WebDynpro Exception:
    The cause of the exception was:
ADS: com.adobe.ProcessingException: PDF is not interactive. Data can only be
    imported into interactive forms
thanks

Wed dynpro Screen VS Adobe forms

Hi,
as i understood adobe forms can be used as offline files and later can be uploaded, and also functionality like printing is possible with adobe forms.
what i dont understood is why dont we just use normal webdynpro screens instead of adobe forms
what are the basic differences that force us to use adobe forms rather than normal web dynpro screens
this may seems weird question!!!
your suggestions are invited.
Thanks,
Kranthi.

Hi,
SAP and Adobe have a very strong relationship, both at the business level and the technical level. SAP ship a number of PDF form templates as standard forms for to use, complementing SAP's Smartform and SAPScript offerings. They also ship the Adobe Form designer in both the ABAP and Java development environments. However, *to develop inhouse forms or enhance existing forms customers will need some expertise in LiveCycle and need to pay some additional licensing fees.* The Adobe Forms are very familiar to end-users and offer both online (through Webdynpro) and offline solutions for data entry.
One thing to be aware of is that Adobe Forms are not as tightly integrated to the ABAP runtime as say WD4A and therefore do not offer the richer client functionality, but are very suitable for simple forms and simple requirements.
Another thing,
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.
Hope you are cleared...
Regards,

Adobe Form not getting interactive in Web Dynpro

Hello Experts,
I am facing a strange sort of behaviour, which has drawn my plenty of time, while making use of Interactive Adobe Form in Web Dynpro component.
In my scenario, I have one existing Adobe Form with interface of type "ABAP Dictionary-based interface". While using this form in Interactive Form element in Web Dynpro and making it enabled, it is not giving me the expected output, that is - Interactive Form in browser window. Instead, it is showing me read only Adobe Form. Has it to do with type of interface?
Looking forward to active replies.
Regards,
Harsh

Hello Harsh,
In webdynro adobe integration we use webdynpro native controls and the form must be in the
ZCI layout. In SFP >layout you have to insert the webdynpro script .After going to the layout
go to utilites and insert webdynpro script.Then you can find a variable containerfoundation_js.
If you have changed the layout from standard layout to ZCI layout in form builder (SFP), the update the layout using program FP_ZCI_UPDATE.
Refer to link below

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.

Getting special character while saving adobe form from portal

Hi All,
I am getting Special character while saving adobe form. I am using webdynpro java application, in which I am using download file UI element.We are facing this issue after support packs were implemented in staging system.
Kindly advise.

Hi,
We have ABAP system as backend system seperately and Single sign on is configured.
when we access the portal with domain name line http://hostname.domain/52000/irj/portal, we are able to access the adobe form which is develope on abap system without any issue.
but our issue started when we are trying to access portal only with hostname as http://hostname:52000/irj/portal
we are able to login to portal but when we are trying to open the adobe form we are getting error
No switch to HTTPS occurred, so it is not secure to send a password
Since you have configured SSL, I assume that this configuration is done with fully qualified hotsname. Hence the certificate is generated based on this hostname.
Now when you access your portal without typing fully qualified hostname, system is unable to locate a relevant certificate. Hence it lands up with a message "No switch to HTTPS occurred, so it is not secure to send a password"
Hope this answers your query
