Adobe forms with portal

Hi All,
For Adobe forms I understand that portal is not required. So what is the advantage/disadvantage of using portal in conjunction with Adobe forms? The pro/con for both approaches – with or without portal?
Please let me know if anyone is having some idea or can provide me some link where I can find required information.
Regards,
Lavanya.

Hi Lavanya,
A portal is a different tool. It allows you to offer a centralized, secure, role-based and web-based access to your applications, backends, services etc. For more information, check http://service.sap.com/nw-ep.
An interactive form can be embedded in a portal page or iView and so can act, in online mode, as an input screen, or as a display screen. The form itself must not be seen as an heavy application, it's more a screen containing some logic.
Don't hesitate if you have additional questions,
Regards,
Francois

  • Integrating Offline adobe form in Portal

    Hi All,
    I created offline adobe form using SFP tcode.
    This form needs to be integrated in Portal. When user logs in, he/she should be able to open this form.
    Can offline adobe form can be integrate to portal directly? or do we need to create the Webdynpro applications only for poral?
    Please let me know whether we can integarate offline adobe form to portal directly. If not why?.. I don't know about portal.
    Thank you!

    Hi Deepika,
    This discussion thread is all about integrating a WebDynpro application which contains adobe form into portal.
    I assume your requirement is different which needs to upload an offline adobe form into portal.
    There are documents available to explain this functionality in detail. Please note down the following.
    1) For uploading adobe form should be XML schema based.
    2) There should be a webdynpro application with uploader UI element which has been integrated into the portal.
    3) On form upload, you will get all the data associated with the form within webdynpro

  • Adobe Forms in Portal

    <u><i><b>Adobe Forms in Portal</b></i></u>
    <i>Manager Self Service:</i>
    Say suppose i want to integrate "Change Personnel Area and Sub Area" into Portal:
    I can deploy the MSS Business Package in Portal & with the appropriate iviews installed i can access "Change Personnel Area and Sub Area" in Portal.
    The above thing works without any issues.
    I have ads configured, acf & adobe lifecycle designer installed -- config tests are successfull for some sample webdynpro applications.
    <i>
    NEW Requirement:</i>
    Users want to see the same "Change Personnel Area and Sub Area (ISR_FORM_SPPA, ISR_IF_SPPA) " in Portal as adobe interactive forms.
    Can you tell me where i have to start to accomplish the above task?
    Any insight on the below stuff would be higly appreciated and rewarded.
    1)?backend tcode sfp?
    2)?web dynpro java?
    3)?business package Enterprise Portals?
    Thanks in Advance,
    RK.

    Hi RK,
    We had a similar requirement and we used Web Dynpro for Java which contained the Interactive Form that would display the personnel area, personnel sub area, etc.
    We developed a custom application in WD Java which would accept entries from the user on each screen after clicking on the Change Personnel area link in the portal. The user would put in the values and when the user would click on the Submit button, an adobe form would be displyed which would show the existing values as well as the values the user newly entered.
    Hope this helps. Do let me know if you need any further inputs.

  • Adobe forms with Web Service - nothing happens when clicking button.

    Hi,
    I am trying to develop adobe forms with web service. The web service
    WSDL location is :- [http://www.webservicex.net/uklocation.asmx?wsdl]
    I have created a new dataconnection with the above URL, drag & drop fields & button onto the form & save the form.
    when I open the PDF on my local machine, enter the post code and push button, nothing happens. no error/warning message.
    I also downloaded a web service example PDF from [http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/tips/index.html]
    This form also has button to execute a web service but again nothing happens?
    Any clues why this is happening? I turned off my firewall thinking it might be blocking but no joy
    I am using Adobe Life cycle Designer 8 & Adobe reader 8.
    Thanks,
    Pankaj

    Hi Pankaj,
    While you are creating Webservice from Java file, select the Aunthenticationtype as SimpleSOAP instead of Basic SOAP (Bydefault BasicSOAP is selected, Change it to SimpleSOAP).
    There are some steps after you create a Webservice.
    First Download WSDL on your Local Machine from WAS.
    After that when you open the zip file you get 3 WSDL's.
    There we need to combine the 3 wsdl's and make it into one wsdl after you do this process.
    Incorporate the WSDL in your interactive form and drag and drop the button onto the form.
    Please don't try to edit any of the method because it will not work if you try to change any feature.
    If you want to write Javascript for that method write it in "enter" method, script type:Javascript.
    If you have any queries you can ping.

  • How to use Adobe forms with F150 Dunning Run

    Hi,
    I want to use Adobe forms with the transaction F150 Dunning Run.
    How do I get the adobe form in customizing? I have put the FM 'FI_PRINT_DUNNING_NOTICE_PDF' in business transaction Event, BF31 - P/S modules of SAP app - 00001720, Fi-FI. But it is still not recognizing the ADOBE form.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    I am also working for calling custom adobe form instead of sapscript.
    While configuring BTE 1720, i noticed that configuring BTE only FI-FI application does not solve the purpose. You need to assign function module FI_PRINT_DUNNING_NOTICE_PDF for all Application Area Indicator.
    Adding to IS-PS will allow to print for customer.
    This solved my problem. But this setting is global so you need to take care of it.

  • Rearrange pages when printing adobe form with multiple master pages

    Hello!
    Good day to you all.
    I have an issue in regards with printing my adobe form with multiple Master pages. I have 4 master pages:
    1st master page: a
    2nd master page: b
    3rd master page: c
    4th master page: d
    all with different headers and footers all having the same contents (items). I don't have issue with one page content (it just prints 4 pages with different headers and footers). The issue comes out once the items exceed 1 page.
    What happens is that the preview/print shows (example: 3-page item)
    a1-a2-a3-b1-b2-b3-c1-c2-c3-d1-d2-d3.
    What i need is to print these such that all 1st pages of the 4 master page to be printed first, then all the 2nd pages, then all 3rd pages. Please see below:
    a1-b1-c1-d1-a2-b2-c2-d2-a3-b3-c3-d3
    This is because we will be using carbonless copy paper during printing and it's possible that it would be printed on batch jobs. Please suggest ways to do this.
    Thanks a lot in advance!
    Best Regards,
    abap_peer_dangs

    Hi,
    Is that requirement of multiple pages as groups only at the time of print or at print preview also...?
    Can you have a Print button on this screen or you should be using the Abobe toolbar's Print button..?
    Well if this on a click of a button in the form and the requirement is only at the time of print and not on print prieview I can have a JS script which does this...
    Let me know if this suffice, I can try with a local file and send you the script.
    @ Chris: I didn't understand what do you mean by reported, I was eager to hear and learn a solution from you may be a new approach which I am not aware of ...?
    Cheers,
    Sai.

  • Adobe Forms On Portal

    Hi Experts,
    My requirement is i need to create the interactive adobe form and this adobe form is finally accessed through portal and there are some approval process involved in this scenario. Now my doubt is do i need to create the adobe form through webdynpro stack or can i create the form and interface directly in transaction "SFP". If i create the form using SAP GUI is it possible to access such forms through portal. I need your suggestions and comments on this.
    Finally my doubt is can we access the interactive adobe forms  which are developed in transaction "SFP" through portal, and my print program also exists in the ABAP editor which has logic to fetch and display the data into adobe forms.
    or do we need web dynpro application to access the interactive adobe form  through portal.
    Your help will be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Venkat

    Anto,
    Thanks for the info, actual my requirment is when ever user login into portal he will find list of purchase orders then in the object work list(OWL). He will choose one record and click edit button then the adobe form corresponding to that purchase order should open in edit mode, now here my question is how can  my print program in SAP GUI know that the user has choosen particular purchase order, i will fetch the data based on my selection criteria and i can display data according to that, but how can i display the data in edit mode when the user has choosen some record from OWL.
    For example : if user selects purchase order 123  from object work list then the same purchase order 123 header and item details should open in the adobe form in edit mode. If my application is developed in SAP GUI side then how can my application program fetch the data related to pirchase order 123 in portal. When i write an ABAP program i will write the logic to fetch and display the data according to my selection criteria, i am unware of what is happening at protal side how can one map my selection criteria details to the record selected in object work list, is this possible , if not what is the alternative way. kindly suggest
    For such type of requirement, what exactly need to be done either web dynpro interactive form or SAP GUI interactive form.
    Or both scenario's also possible. Kindly suggest.
    How can we achieve this using web dynpro application or SAP GUI application.
    Your help will be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Venkat

  • Adobe Forms with APO DP Livecache

    We have a requirement where in we need to develop Custom UI to show APO DP data in Real-Time. This means, the custom UI should read data directly from Livecache and we plan to use Adobe forms for this. My question is, can adobe forms read & write data from Livecache? If yes, how would this be achieved. If any one can help with a realevant pointer, it would be a great help.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ganesh Pai

    Hi Ganesh,
    There is no SAP provided standard functionality available to directly convert livecache data to adope form.  You can transfer the results of DP realtime data into excel sheet and then convert to Adobe forms.
    But you need to customise integration of Adobe form with livecache data as per your requirement.
    You can also make use the below link for preparation of your data extraction.

  • Adobe forms with out Java stack

    Hi all,
    Can we install and use Adobe forms without portal. i.e can we install interactive forms on the ABAP stack, develop them and use the same?
    HEre is the actual requirement. We want to implement some interactive forms and we do no thave the Java stack built up and probably it is too late to build a java stack.
    regards
    raj
    Edited by: rajkishore on Oct 28, 2008 3:22 PM

    Sameer,
    You can develop forms in your ERP system (ABAP stack) and can still run it without portal. But you will require JAVA stack as Adobe Document Servcies (ADS) can ONLY be configured on JAVA stack.
