Adobe forms(Interactive forms)

Hi to all,
     In our developement server we cant open layout design in intercative forms. Its showing error message like " Cant start Layout designer(see long text)" . What we can do. Is there any patches will upload or Any SAP notes apply .Give me suggessions.

Hi Geetha K ,
ADOBE lifecycle designer is part of SAPGUI installation.
Some admins love to install not fully but leave out what they think may no be needed. So they can keep their job because every one in a while someone needs something they ommitted
Full installation does not harm anyone anytime and is less complicated. Thank you SAP that we can do partial installs -:)

  • How to use SAP Business Workflow along with Interactive Adobe Form

    Hi Experts,
    I am working on SAP Business Workflow since last couple of years.
    Now i have got a new Project where client wants to use SAP Business Workflow along with Interactive Adobe Form.
    I am new to Interactive Adobe Form and Portal thing and i really dont know from where to start.
    We have one central system and 2 local systems. when we do create a Material document using adobe form workflow should trigger and notification should go to group of users who can approve or reject it, once they approve it document gets created in central system and replicated to 2 local system through ALE.
    In the Local system they do extend the document to different plants, again workflow triggers and notification will go to Managers inbox for the approval.
    Once the final approval done data should go and store in SAP.
    Now here i have couple of Questions.
    1. In SAP R3 Business workflow when i execute the workitem from the inbox i do get the application screen ( i.e. MM01 MRP View ) , what is going to happen if the same case i have with Adobe form?? is it possible or do we have to design a adobe form and we will have to map the fields with backend application??
    2. Do i have to maintained 3 separate Org Structure for 3 different system or using UWL  i can manage the show
    3. Untill final submit is not done, where the application data is going to be, is there any kind of buffer that we will have to keep it or its there with XML file??
    Please help me out.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    Manoj

    Hi Manoj,
    Welcome to ADOBE Forms related Workflow Development. Well, here are my answers.
    1) You can go for either go for ISR based development or WD development with Adobe form. In both the cases you can achieve your requirement. Yes, you will have to design the Adobe form and bind the fields to backend.
    2) Am not clear or your System landscape to advice you in these regards.
    3) Until final Submit/Approval is done, the data can be stored in WORKFLOW CONTAINERS or XML FORM(If you go for ISR based Development).
    Hope this helps.

  • Multiple images into a subform in a dynamic non-interactive adobe form

    I want to convert a set of images into a PDF (one page for each image) with Webdynpro. I'm trying with a non-interactive adobe form.
    I followed the tutorial "Dynamic Non-Interactive PDF Form".
    I've got a multiple Context node: 'Images' with a string attribute 'url' for each image.
    In the form, I've created subform1, and subform2 within. I put an image field into subform2, setting its url to: $record.Images[*].url
    and its script to: this.value.image.href = xfa.resolveNode(this.value.image.href).value;
    It doesn't work.
    If I add a field into subform2 binding it to url attribute, I can see some lines with the correct path for each image, but the image isn't displayed.
    It works with a single dynamic image in the page. What am I doing wrong?
    Regards
    Anibal Pozo.

    No. It's form scripting. In any case I'm working with Webdynpro Java.
    I tried this code in table 'initialize' event.
    for int=0 upto $record.nImages do
    Table1.Row1[int].ImageField.value.image.href = $record.Images[int].url;
    Table1.Row1[int].Cell4.value.#image.href = $record.Images[int].url;
    endfor
    Cell4 is a static image.
    In 04SP9, it show always the same image in the image field (first column), and alternating image in cell4 (second column).
    In 04sSP6, it shows always the same image in all the rows in both columns.
    Any idea? I didn't find any OSS related.

  • Error while Uploading Interactive Adobe Form

    Hi,

    Abhi
    I too got the same error:
    WebDynpro Exception: The ADS call has failed. You can find information about the cause in the error.
    I refered the link provided by you for testing the ADS configuration and it displayed a 2 page report.

  • Digital Signatures in Adobe Forms (Non-Interactive)

    Hi everyone,
    I need to sign a receipt that will be sent by e-mail. The form is non-interactive, it´s only a simple receipt. This form may be printed or sent by e-mail; in case of being sent it must be signed before sending it. The receiver should be able to open it using Adobe Reader.
    I´ve read other posts/help about singatures in Adobe Forms, but none of them of non-interactive forms; I need to know if it is possible to do this if the form is not interactive, and how it can be done.
    Thanks!

  • 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

  • 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

  • Interactive table control in Adobe forms

    Dear gurus,
      I am trying to create an interactive table control with header. The table control will have 10 rows, and I want the users to be able to enter values into the table.
    I created a new node with cardinality 0...n; and added attributes under it. The I dragged that onto my design view and made duplicate entries of the rows to get 10 rows under the header.
    Now the issues I am having are
    1) The table is not visible in preview Pdf; I tried to save and activate the form, but still appears to be invisible
    2) For some strange reason the table control in adobe forms is not as flexible as the one in webdynpro, where it is easier to bind the fields and send / recieve data from the interface.
    ~thanks and appreciate any comments.

    when your cardinality is 0..n you won't see it in preview mode.. you need to launch it from your dynpro & you will see it.
    Also, if you know you're going to have 10 rows all the time, why not make the cardinality 1...n?
    Nevertheless, I personallly wouldn't create the table in this method.
    I would create the table in Web dynpro, add a column called "SeqNo" or whatever and pre-populate that field with 1 - 10. When you drag/drop your table from your Data View, just rt-click that column and hide it so your users won't see that field.
    You'll have 10 rows displayed to the user each time and you won't worry about having to bind anything since it'll be done automagically.

  • Adobe forms, non-interactive (HR)

    Hi,
    I'm trying to get in touch with SAP web applications (webdynpro, adobe form, bsp...).
    I have the following requirement:
    I have to provide a page within the sap enterprise portal to allow the employee to track his presence. In this page the employee has to check a presence/absence flag and in another page he can justify his absence with some reason.
    I didn't find a standard functionality to meet this requirement, so I think a new form has to be created.
    As additional requirement this form as to be stored as PDF document and it is not needed to store the information contained in the form in the sap backend system. The information contained in the form has to be stored in a non-sap system, so this information should be available as flat file to be imported in the non-sap system.
    I'd like to understand the possible scenarios from a technical point of view to create the required functionalities.
    ADOBE Interactive Form.
    This is a webdynpro (java or abap) that contains the adobe component. The fields of the adobe component are linked to the sap backend system and are editable. The adobe component reads some data from sap bakend system and stores the values filled by the employee via the adobe component in the backend system.
    ADOBE non-interactive Form
    A webdynpro (java or abap) or a BSP has to be built to create some values, then once the user save/submit the information a PDF document is created with the information created in the previous page.
    What is the difference between ADOBE (non-interactive) Form and ADOBE Interactive Form? The difference is that the first one is not editable? There is a big difference in terms of complexity develop an interactive or a non-interactive adobe form?
    BSP that generate the PDF as output?
    Could you please provide some input/defintion/sample to clarify this topic?
    Thanks in advance
