Adobe interactive form and workflow attachment

I use an ABAP webdynpro to trigger a WF. The WD is an interactive adobe form step for users to enter data. Then before triggering the WF, I would like to save the form as an PDF form so I can send it to the subsequent work item processors. Is this possible? If yes, what do I need to do to make this happen.
Thanks.

Hi Raja,
If i understand well the only way to have Adboe forms in ABAP Wrokflow is to use ISR , that's right ?
Here's my scenario.
An User trigger with an abap program a Specific flow , then i send several mails with Adobe forms inside . Thoses forms are send back by mail and process by the abap system .
My problem is to make sure that all forms have been process and for this i had to develop a specific program in abap in order to check it.
So Is it possible to define a SAP Abap workflow where on each workitem i will add as attachment my pdf form . Then i can used standard Notification and Standard functionnality of reminding of ABAP Workflow.
Best regards.

Adobe Interactive Form as an Attachment

Hi we have requirement to make Adobe Interactive Form as an attachment in work item (workflow).
Does any body come across with this requirement? How we make Adobe Interactive Form as an attachment ?
Many thanks

Hi,
i have the same requirement. But im not able to solve this problem by the link, which is posted. I also used the search function, but no results.
I know how to send the Interactive Form via email, and it works nice, but how can i create an object out of the Interactive Form and pass it to a workflow container?
Im using FM SO_OBJECT_INSERT but there is something wrong with the conversion, everytime i try to open the attachment i get a error message that the file is broken.
Any suggestions how to solve it?
Kind Regards

Adobe Interactive Forms and Digital Signature

Adobe Interactive Forms and Digital Signature
Hi, I’ve a question if it works to digital sign interactive PDF documents created by an SAP BPM System? So is it possible just to sign the content, and not the interactive components like layout and buttons e.g.?
Thanks for your help.

serverside or at the client??

Extract interactive form from workflow attachment

I have a multi-step approval process where you want to store the data in
the
backend only after final approval. (requestor >> expert >> approver)
I developed a WDJ app with Interactive forms that triggers Business
Workflow...
I created a Webdynpro Java application which contains an interactive form
for the Requestor.
The Requestor fills out the form, and submits. The submission action
triggers a simple workflow and adds the interactive form as an attachment
to
the workitem. (Using SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW and
SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD)
The new task shows up in UWL with the attached pdf form.
When the approver clicks on the task in UWL it will launch a web dynpro
application which will display the interactive form.
How do I extract the interactive pdf form from workflow?
I want to display the form in my Web dynpro java application and bind
it to the pdfSource context??

Can we know the reason why do you need to extract the Interactive Form from Workflow.When you are calling the workflow try to save the form in a shared folder and save the url of the shared folder in a field and try to acces it by using SAP Activity.You can create a button for that create an SAP activity and when you click on the button the Interactive Form can be opened.
Iam not sure weather i have answered your question or not?

Web Dynpro ABAP, Adobe interactive forms and Drag and Drop functionality.

Hi Experts,
is it possible to use Drag and Drop functionality together with Adobe Interactive forms in Web Dynpro ABAP? I consider dragging object (like texts) to interactive form placed in Web Dynpro.

I think I understand but just to make it clear. I use texts created using function module "SAVE_TEXT". In my Web Dynpro I select one or more of them and use the button "insert text" (with appropriate functionality behind it) to insert them to specified location in my PDF form opened in this Web Dynpro. Considering what you said it is not possible to replace this "insert text" button by drag and drop functionality. Am I correct?
Btw great job with the book "Next Generation ABAP Development" Thomas!

Adobe Interactive Form and Web Dynpro

Hi experts,
I'm working with an standard Adobe Interactive Form (ISR_MSSRCF_SRQ3) which has a button (selectPosition) that is used to call a Web Dynpro (HRRCF_C_POSITION). This Web Dynpro is used to fill some forms fields (org. unit and position) as a search help. I don't know the way the Web Dynpro fills these fields, I don't find a context binding or so. Could you help to find the way these fields are linked to the Wed Dynpro? How does the Wed Dynpro fill these fields?
For this button, events in script command window are:
=>Mouse down.
//Set ISR_EVENT for BAdI processing in backend
$record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_EVENT = "USER_EVENT_POPUP"
$record.HRASR_FORM_WINDOW.DATA[*].FIELD.value = "HRRCF_C_POSITION"
=>Click.
//Trigger call to backend for BAdI user command processing
ContainerFoundation_JS.SendMessageToContainer(event.target, "submit", "", "", "", "");
=>Ready.
//Toggle visibility to be visible during edit operations, ínvisible otherwise
if($record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_MODE == "DISPLAY" |
     $record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_FORM_VIEW =="ISR_APPROVE" )
then
     this.presence = "invisible"
else
     this.presence = "visible"
endif
Any idea???
Thanks in advance.

Hi
In se80 - select the WD application HRRCF_C_POSITION.
COMPONENTCONTROLLER -> method CALL_POPUP . Put a degug point and analyze.

Adobe Interactive Forms and 4.6c

Hi to all,
I have to develop and adobe interactive form within a web dynpro project with SAP WAS 6.40. This interactive form have to call an R/3 system 4.6c (via RFC) to retrieve some datas. My question is: can I use interactive forms with a 4.6c (using JCO/RFC) or I have some restrictions?
Thank you very much,
Antonio

Antonio,
I cut and pasted the below response from the SDN FAQ on SAP Interactive Forms:
Can Interactive Forms work within, for example, an SAP R/3 Enterprise or 4.6C system? Or is it possible to run a stand-alone SAP Web AS 6.40 instance with a lower-release SAP system?
Interactive Forms is shipped as a part of SAP Web AS 6.40. SAP Web AS 6.40 can be connected to lower-release backend systems to exchange data (using RFC).
If you want to use forms in interactive scenarios, you can use technologies such as an RFC connection to exchange data between your application system (for example, SAP R/3 4.6C) and the SAP Web AS 6.40, which includes the required Adobe technology. Note that this does not apply to the use of Interactive Forms in the Internet Service Request framework, which is extensively used in SAP Manager Self Service (e.g. Personnel Change Request).

Adobe Interactive Forms and SAP PI

Has anyone used SAP PI to process offline Adobe Interactive forms?
Any java api available that will do the trick?
We can use ABAP mapping but want to avoid such a design. Java is the preferred method.
PS: I am surprised why there is no standard integration available for the offline forms with SAP PI.

SAP PI is intended to be used for system integration on messaging base.
It is not intended to process forms.

Adobe Interactive Forms and WDA - Right click and submit

Hi guys,
We're developing some OnLine Adobe Intercative Form.
For each module we have one submit button that sends all data to SAP system.
Every module uses ZCI Layout and Native WebDynpro Library but when someone clicks on the submit button, also with right mouse button, it starts a submit event and after it opens a WDA's menu, from where, someone could accidentally hide a Adobe Form in his browser session!
So, I would like to know how we can disable this functionality and also how I can have a "hide reader toolbar" in my pallette inside Adobe liveCycle Designer 7.1.
Regards,
Antonello

Interactive Forms support two types of attachments:
1) Attachments as comments
- Interactive PDF Forms generated by the Adobe Document Services (ADS) in SAP turn on by default the commenting/annotations toolbar in Adobe Reader. You can then select "Attach a file as a comment" to attach a file anywhere on the page.
- This is available since the first release of Interactive Forms
- These attachments cannot be handled (e.g. detached) automatically on the server. You can use it to archive the PDF with the attachments or to open the form in Acrobat or Reader and open them on the client.
- Like any annotation functionality this does not work for dynamic interactive PDF forms (PDF forms which can dynamically grow/shrink in the client)
2) Document Level Attachments
- This is available with NW04S SPS10 and higher.
- To attach a document select Menu -> Document -> Attach a File in Reader
- Attachments can be manipulated/detached on the server using custom Java or ABAP code with the PDFDocument Object... Here is the documentation for the Java PDF Document Object (http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/wd/index.html)
- This works for all types of PDF documents (dynamic and static)

Adobe Interactive Form with workflow processing

I am new to both WebDynpro ABAP and Adobe forms. I am creating a new adobe form for material stock request with a 2 level approval. I have created the form and the WD application.
How do you pass the adobe form and it's data from the WD application to the start of the workflow. I assume that you would load the PDF source in a wf container. What data type should the wF container be? What code is required to get the PDF source in the WD application and code to re-load the PDF source from the container value?
I currently have the following code to get the PDF source data and pass this to my function module to load the container and start the workflow.
data: lv_wi_id    like ls_pdf_data-wi_id.
data: ret_error        type c,
         ret_message(70) type c.
DATA lo_el_context TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA ls_context TYPE wd_this->element_context.
DATA lv_pdf_source LIKE ls_context-pdf_source.
data lv_pdf_source type string.
Read the context to get the binary PDFSource attribute.
get element via lead selection
    lo_el_context = wd_context->get_element( ).
get single attribute
    lo_el_context->get_attribute(
      EXPORTING
        name = `PDF_SOURCE`
      IMPORTING
        value = lv_pdf_source ).
   CALL FUNCTION 'ZMMSR_START_WORKFLOW_2'
     EXPORTING
       pdf_source        = lv_pdf_source
     IMPORTING
       RET_ERROR         = ret_error
       RET_MESSAGE       = ret_message
       RET_WI_ID         = lv_wi_id
     changing
       zmmsr             = ls_pdf_data.
Thanks for any help

Hi,
I would like to answer this through Webdynpro-Java method.Please analyze it. Hope this helps
First we can create two views. In one view one form and in another view another form.
Now how to pass values from one view to other view is the question? This can be done through workflow.
But to acheive this we need to store the values in temporary table through RFC and that RFC should also trigger the workflow.
Then in workflow we have workflow container, workflow container inturn stores the data and it will have Workitem Id. Now work item will be raised and after clicking on WorkItem by the help of Workitem Id we fetch the records into 2nd view of Adobe Form.

Trigger workflow from ABAP webdynpro and attach an Adobe interactive form

I have a need to create an ABAP Webdynpro that will upload a completed Adobe interactive form and then route the form to multiple approvers thru workflow. I am having trouble finding any documentation or examples of passing the Adobe form in the workflow. Do I have to save the content of every field on the form to an internal table and then have every workitem call an ABAP webdynpro to render the form? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Joyce,
This can be done as follows :

Adobe Interactive forms with Graph and Japanese text

Hi Experts,
I want to use graph/bar/pie chart with Adobe Interactive forms and along with that the UI element's(Button,lable,table header,column) text has to be in Japanese language.
Is it possible using Adobe interactive form ?
Thanks in advance.

I don´t understand. Where do you want the Japanese texts? In the ordinary fields? Then you have to use (of course install first) some Japanese fonts for the fields. If you would like to have the texts in the picture, then there is no problem with the form since the texts are coming as a part of the picture into the form and you don´t need any fonts. Of course you need to install/ configure the japanese fonts in the backend to be able to draw it into the picture.
