Adobe Forms Vs Flex

Hi,
Please can any one explain the advantages between Adobe Forms vs flex. I've to implement website and forced to use any one of the above mentioned technologies to represent UI.
Appreciate your quick reply.
Regards
Boss Listen

Boss,
These are not concurrent technologies, but they complement each other. The most usual option to represent the UI is Flex, which offers many compoments to interact with end user and to lead him to a new rich experience.
When you say Adobe Forms you mean forms inside a PDF, right? There is two technologies to implement forms inside PDFs: AcroForms and XFA based forms.
Well, from here let us know what are your doubts.

  • Adobe flex vs Interactive adobe forms

    Hi, I have used SAP Interactive adobe forms extensively. We used to use Web dynpro java or web dynpro abap to develop adobe related applications. In the meanwhile I would like to understand how adobe flex forms are different when compared to interactive adobe forms. Also I would like understand if the development environment remains the same if we use adobe flex instead of interactive adobe forms. And are there any special licensing requirements?
    thanks

    I would recommend Googling about this ;)

    I will recommend you to use smart forms ...
    the link below has the said topic discussed for smart forms ...
    Printing vertical text in Smartform
    Also there is a New tool called Adobe Flex whose integration with SAP is being discussed and worked upon in experimental stage .. the said tool has vertical text capability
    but its not recommended because of lack of extensive testing with regards to Association with SAP

    Manthan.
    PS it can be done in sapscript too but i will not recommend the same bcoz of the obvious trouble in doing the same.
    also if u still want to stick to sapscript
    Simple way is to use layout format like "X_65_80" or "X_90_120"

  • Adobe Form in PT60?

    Hello all,
    I would like to ask you about the possibility of getting an Adobe form using the transaction PT60 (time evaluation transaction).
    Up to now, after evaluating one employee we are getting a plain form, using "write" instructions.
    Would it be possible to get an adobe form instead of this plain form when pressing the corresponding button?
    Is it necessary to use another transaction (similar to the PT60) to get the adobe form?
    Please, let me now the steps to follow.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Hey Easwar,
    Thanks for the reply.
    However, we have been able to provide links on the CRM UI screen which will open up PDFs in a popup.
    We were wondering whether it could be done within the same screen itself and not in a popup.
    Again, there is a concept of Webdynpro islands in ABAP which suggest that we might be able to integrate Adobe Flex components in CRM.

  • Normal PDF to Adobe form

    Hi,
    I am using the normal pdf to add some functionality in the backend. When I imported the form to adobe lifecycle designer, after that it is not generating the pdf when I rendered it.
    The form consists of 6 pages and each page is coming as one map in the designer.
    Please let me know if there is any alternate to render the form.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Swamy

    Hey Pete,
    I found it. The adobe form is word searchable by default and even on FLEX when called through a URL it should work. That is something i have to try. In case it doesnt work i will get back and check with you again.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Error upon submitting form (SWF/Flex)

    I often get this error upon submitting a SWF(Flex) LC form.  The workflow proceeds just fine, but it acts like Workspace is having an issue cleaning up.  Does anyone have any experience with what this is?
    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

    This is my method that submits the form.
    private function OnAllDocumentsUploaded(event:Event):void {
      status_box.Flash("The DCF is being submitted to the server for processing!");
      // remove any Rejections
      delete form_data.Role.Rejected;
      lcConnector.setSubmitData(form_data);

    No, I don't.  It's intermittent.  I thought it perhaps happened when I threw up a <mx:Box> just before data submission to let them know the data was being submitted, but that's not it.
    My fear is there is something I am leaving hanging, but there isn’t enough documentation on writing Flex forms for LC to really know what that might be.
    I can't imagine what would be trying to talk to the task after the form has been closed.

  • Error when starting Adobe Form

    I have an Adobe Form which works Ok in the development SAP Portal, but that, when I log in the production portal gives the following error:
    Error when reinitializing the form (I guess, it's Error al reinicializar el formulario, in Spanish)
    I think maybe there is something missing to transport, or some misconfiguration, but I haven't been able so far to find it...
    Can someone give me a hand?
    Thank you in advance,
    S.

    Hi,
    Can you tell me when does the error message comes? Does it comes when you are trying to open the Form or when you are trying to execute it.
    Please check if it is still working in the development box?

  • Want to use Adobe forms departmentally.  How many users per license?

    How many people can use Adobe Forms per license/how many computers can we download software to?

    Adobe FormsCentral is a web-based app so there is nothing to download - you access from the web browser.
    Each users who creates forms needs a license of FormsCentral. In a month or so you'll be able to by a team pack (5,10,25) at reduces prices for a larger group who wants to create forms.

  • How to print page numbers in adobe form

    Hi,
    Can anybody tell me how to print page numbers in adobe form.
    Thanks in advance
    Chaitanya

    Hi,
    Yes the field page n of m is used normally for printing page numbers. But it won't display the current page of total pages by itself. You have to set the run time property to n (current page ) and m (Total number of pages). Carefully select the # (current page ) and ## (Total number of pages). Hope this works for you.
    My requirement is to have the user control on current page. For Example:
    Example for a Invoice with 5 PO items (stands on 2 pages) :
    1st  page is the letter : no page number
    2nd page is the 1st page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
    3rd page is the 2nd page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
    4th page is the 1st page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
    5th page is the 2nd page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
    Presently i cam getting the current page number for page 4th as 3 / 2 and for 5th page 4 / 2. I could able to control the total number of pages from print program. But when i am printing the second copy (4th and 5th pages), I couldn't able to control the current page number. I need to initialize the Current page count (4th page ) as 1.
    I have used the follwing java scripting:
    this.rawValue = wv_pages - xfa.layout.page(this)
    where wv_pages is total no of pages calculated from print program.
    Please help me in this regard with some formcal or java scripting conditions.
    Thank You,
    Regards,
    Naresh.

  • Error in Simple Adobe Form

    Hi ,
      I have gone through this below PDF
      https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e0401535-f81c-2a10-0192-   ffd41e8e8d59
    It is Simple Adobe Form with two fields(Firstname and Last name ) not table. I am getting UI Interactive form but not getting PDF. I am using NWDS 7.0.15 and Adobe Live Cycle Designer 7.1.
    Please help me out.
    Thanks
    Risha

    Hi Risha,
    In NWDS Web Dynpro perspective, when you create a project, you will be able to create an InteractiveForm UI Element in any view. You need to set the 'datasource' property to some context node with attributes. You open the Adobe Designer for this InteractiveForm UI Element by choosing the context menu option 'Edit'. You can create some form elemnts for it by dragging the attributes of the binded datasource node from 'Data View' to the form preview area. When you build, deploy & run your application after this, you get this form in the browser. You can now save this form as pdf.
    You can refer to https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/user-interface-technology/wd%20java/7.0/adobe/how%20to%20handle%20table%20input%20and%20output.pdf (Using Table in Adobe Form)
    Hope this helps you.
    Kind Regards,

  • Error while executing adobe form

    Hi All,
          I am working on an adobe form in development system everything is working perfectly, But the form is giving an exception ()when executed in quality system .I did remote comparison of both layout and interface and there are no changes.
         What i observed is when i execute the form in SFP in dev system it is creating an FM , But in quality system execution of form in SFP is giving me error saying "Error in include information for function module /1BCDW/0000000007" and when i try to check this FM in SE37 it says it does not exist.
      Please let me know if anyone has faced similar issue before and if you have found the solution.
    Regards,
    Anjana Rao

    Hi friend,
    Its simple.
    The same problem exists in Smart forms also.
    What you need to do is you need to give the Adobe form name to the function module "FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME".
    It will return you a name just you need to substitute that in the form call.
    Because for each and every system the function module number generated for the Adobe form differs.
    Just see the link below its for smart form, just adapt the same for Adobe forms, see my post and use the above function module instead of the one in the link [Smartform error|http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2127306&messageID=11037853#11037853]
    Do this it will solve your problem.
    If any queries please revert back to me i will help you.
    Thanks,
