Adobe interactive form inside SAP GUI

Friends,
We all know that Adobe interactive forms can be called from portals and updated by the users. Is there any possibility that the Adone interactive form can be called inside SAP GUI and updated in the same manner?
Regards,
Sam

Yes you can generate adobe intetractive forms as ABAP report programme outputs. There ares some standards forms available. Please search by FP*.
Hope i understood yourr question.
Thanks and Regards,

Is it possible to use Adobe Interactive Forms in SAP (ABAP) Trial Version?

Dear All,
i need some help concerning the usage of Adobe Interactive Forms in SAP (ABAP) Trial Version.
I installed SAP Netweaver 7.01 (ABAP Trial Version) and i would like to use the Adobe Interactive Form editor (transaction SFP). Is this trial version prepared for this? Is it possible to edit and test Interactive Forms in the ABAP Trial Version too?
Somebody told me that he installed Adobe Lifecycle Designer 7.1 but the layout manager part of the editor shortdumped when he wanted to go back to other parts of the editor or he wanted to save what he did...
Is it enough to install Adobe Lifecycle Designer 7.1? Is there something else to install or configure?
Thank you for your help in advance.
All the best, P. Phil.

Yes, you need the lifecycle designer installed. That should be enough to work with the SFP transaction. But to actually use the form, I think you do need the ADS(Adobe Document Services) which runs on the java stack.

Read values from Adobe Interactive Form inside the webdynpro

Hello,
I have problems to read the values of the fields inside de adobe. I read an article on saptechincal that told:
You can see the Adobe form that we have designed, enter the data as shown below and press the submit button. (As I said earlier an activex control will be installed on to the client machine, you can see the activex control in the internet explore go to the menu: ToolsàInternet optionsàgo to the programs tab àPress button Manage add-ons.
You can see an activex control named u2018SAP ACFu2019, if you donu2019t have this control you will not see this page: Note you need to have adobe acrobat reader 7.1 installed, I have used version 9, the activex control was not working properly so down graded my adobe reader to 7.1)
This is true ??? I have the Acrobat reader 9.3 and i saw that also have the SAP ACF installed.
The value of the property displaytype on adobe interactive form on webdynpro is activeX or native.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Thank you for the answer.

I change the value of the attribute but again i can read anything from the adobe form. So let me explain what i'm doing.

Objective: I have to create one webdynpro with an adobe interactive form for create new clients on r/3 system.

1. I create de the view with 2 elements an interactive form and one submit button.

2. Create the context of the view with the following tree:

> context (node)

 > ADOBE_DATA (node)

 > Clients (from KNA1 table) (node)

 > KUNNR

 > LAND1

 > NAME1

 > ORTO1

 > TELF1

>PDF_SOURCE

3. Complementing the properties of the interactive form:
datasource = clients node of the context
displaytype = native
pdf_source = pdf_source attribute of the context
templatesource = name of the form

4. Create the form, and add the data source to the interface of the form

5. On the form bulider i add and subform on the hierarchy tab and the all the fields of the interface to the form and
automatically the value of the fields are binding.

6.Add a submit button from web dynpro native and add the event click to the button. Then i change the value of the layout type and save e activate the form and the interface

7. The next step is create an action for the button submit for the event "onSubmit". So i create the function and start coding this code:

DATA: adobe_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,

 client_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,

 client_element TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,

 client TYPE if_create_client=>element_clients.

*Get reference to the adobe_data node from the context

adobe_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_adobe_data ).

*Get reference to the clients node from the context

client_node = adobe_node->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_clients ).

*Get element node

client_element = client_node->get_element( ).

*Get the values from the form

client_element->get_static_attributes(

 IMPORTING

 static_attributes = client ).

8. Then for finalize i add the view to the window and crate a web dynpro application and put one break point on the submit function event.

9. Activate and test the application and when the program try to add a reference to the element node always returning a null reference and the application dumped.

So please help with this situation i can't understand what is the mistake.

PS: Now i have installed the acrobat reader 7.0.8

Developing Adobe Interactive forms in SAP R/3 4.7

I have a client requirement of developing Adobe Interactive forms for automating exisiting manual processes. The SAP version being used is SAP 4.72.
Could anyone please let me know what all is required to implement it and how that can be done in brief.
One of the related links to the topic without much details is 4.7 and Adobe Interactive Forms.
If anyone has worked with such requirement, his inputs would be valuable

Hi,
You will have to use WD Java for integrating Interactive forms with SAP version 4.7
NetWeaver developer Studio ( NWDS) is the tool used for this integration. Data can be passed from SAP to WD Java using RFCs.
This link will be useful for you:

Hope this will help you,

Binding problem from adobe interactive form to SAP

Hello All,
I'm using SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio 2.0.9 SAP WAS 2004s SP11.
I'm tried to exercise with document "How ToCreate Online and Offline Forms in Web Dynpro for Java" (you can check it this link https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/4fd2d690-0201-0010-de83-b4fa0c93e1a9). I could run it succesfuly but i have a problem. I couldn't get data from Adobe Interactive form when i click "Submit to SAP" button. All field value return with "null".
The code is like that;
public void onActionFormSubmit(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
 //@@begin onActionFormSubmit(ServerEvent)
 String name = wdContext.currentTravelDataElement().getEmployeeName();
 String costcenter = wdContext.currentTravelDataElement().getCostCenter();
 String city = wdContext.currentTravelDataElement().getDestinationCity();
 String country =
 wdContext.currentTravelDataElement().getDestinationCountry();
 wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager().reportSuccess(
 "Form submitted: Employe Name="
 + name
 + " costcenter="
 + costcenter
 + " city="
 + city
 + " country=" +
 country);
What could be the problem?

hi Selcuk,
check what is the cardinality of the node that bound to the interactive form.
interactive form->properties->dataSource = <xyz node of context>
goto <xyz node of context> -> properties
just change the cardinality to 1..1.
goto
interactive form->properties...
check that the dataSource and pdfSource are bound to the right Context nodes/attributes...
hope this helps...
with regards,

Update table after filling an adobe interactive form inside a workflow

Hi
I have the following workflow problem:
I made a webdynpro application that incudes an adobe interactive form. An user fill this form. After filling the form he will press the submit button. The data will be introduced in the custom table and a workflow will be started.
Inside the workflow, I attached the form filled by the user. After attaching it I introduce a user decision step in order to see the content of the pdf attachment, modify it and send again. So, the person that will execute the workitem has to open that pdf and fill some additional fields. The information should be updated in the table and then send to other persons. I don't know how to update the table with the new values that are inserted in the form in that decisional step and send the updated form to the other users.
Thank you in advance !
Iulia

Hi Iulia
You cannot do that through decision step with attachment. You have to do with task registation in t-code SWFVISU. so the work item will come to UWL once the approver clicks the work item it opens and entered his comments, You have to caputer the comments and pass these comments to the workflow container element from there you update to your custom table.

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.

Generating Interactive Form in SAP GUI and saving in offline repository.

Hi Experts
Is it possible to generate an Interactive SAP Adobe Form and display it to a user within SAPGUI, as well as save the captured PDF form offline for later retrieval?
We have the following requirements
- Access an Interactive Form via SAPGUI, form containing data fetched from backend ERP (access of document cannot be via Portal)
- Form to be saved "Offline", and to be accessible at a later point in time. Is it possible to save the PDF for later retrieval as an object inside SAP (what mechanisms are available?), or to store it in an external document repository for later retrieval?
Any input would be appreciated.

Hi Costa,
As the first step, you need to create an Interface and Form through TCode SFP . After Interactive form layout designing, when you activate the object, a function module gets generated automatically. You have to call this function module from a z-program. This program is known to be the driver program. When you run this program by passing the appropriate parameters to the generated FM, it will create and download the pdf form for you.
Check the following link for reference:
[Driver program for ADOBE FORM;

ADOBE Interactive forms / Automatic handling by SAP via mail

Hi All,
Short question. Is it possible that for example, an email
with a predifined body is send to a SAP SMTP port and that the content is read bij an service(for so far this is possible)and that this service creates an ADOBE interactive form autmatically and returns it by mail.
I have to know this, because it is a possible customer scenario.
Any input is welcome!
Thanks,
Harrie Prinsen

Hi,
Adobe Interactive form can be generated and sent it via email by using a normal Java class. But that Java class should run in a server which should contain Adobe DocumentService.This java class can be archived as a par file and deployed on Portal server or can be written as a Webservice and can be triggered by clicking on a URL.
Hope this blog helps.

Calling a WD method from Adobe Interactive Form JavaScript

Hi all,
I would like to save the PDF file (into KM) defined by the binary Context Attribute "PdfSource", when I run a Adobe Interactive Form inside a WD application. And this must be done automaticaly at starting.
The origin of my problem is that "PdfSource" is not filled-in until the adobe form is completely loaded and ready.
So i was thinking to use the "form:ready" event of Adobe Inteactive Forms to call a WD method ir order to save the PDF file (into KM) but i do not find the way
Can anybody tell me if this is correct and how, or should I try another way?
Very thanks in advance,

hi
good

Adobe Interactive Forms via Mail and PI.

Hi All,
We are currently implementing an adobe interactive forms scenario (offline) at our customer.
The initial scenario was the folllowing
1. PDF is generated on the CRM system and downloaded towards the clients PC
2. PDF is adjusted by enduser
3. When all info is added, enduser presses the submit button in the pdf, this triggers the sending of an email, with an attachment containing the filled in data in xml format.
4. PI reads the mail, takes the XML and processes the data.
The scenario was quiet easy to enable.
Now the customer wants the PDF to be mailed instead of or toghetger with the xml representing the data. Reason for this is that they want to pdf to be stored inside the initial transaction (service order) in SAP (archiving reasons).
The PI system is just acting as a mail client. When the mail is read, the pdf needs to be converted into an xml, representing the data. I would like to use the adobe document service to convert the pdf.
So the system that generates the pdf (=CRM) and the system that needs to convert it (PI) is different.
Can the adobe document service by addressed from within a standard java or abap class.
Any idea whether this can be done and how?
Easier solution would be, attaching the pdf and the xml in the mail message. Is this possible?
Kind regards
Joris

Adobe interactive forms First Logon Problem

Hello All
we build an adobe interactive form (for sap solution) and we have a very strange problem , the form contains several fields and a submit button that triggers a submit we are using the form in native mode inside IE throw the sap portal .
now the problem is that if a user intestinal logon to the xp station opens the web browser and the interactive form and press the submit button , the vent is not triggered .
if the user closes the IE browser > opens adobe reader application (without opening any file ) > closes the adobe reader > opens the IE browser and the form again every thing works perfectly .
so we narrow the problem down to the initial log on and the need to open adobe read application after initial logon .
how can we solve it that we will not need too open the adobe reader application after initial logon.
THX
Ronen

Which version of Adobe Reader is installed on your system? Also, please let us know which OS and browser are you using?

ADOBE interactive form - Taking long time to Activate

Hi All,
We are desining ADOBE interactive form in SAP R/3 via SFP.
But the form is taking unusally too much time to get activated. Even one of the form could not even be activated.
It gave a time out error after around 3 hours.
Please help me with understanding the probable reason for this.
Thanks & Regards
Deb

debabrata mohanty,
How did you solve the issue. Please clarify me on this. I am facing the same problem.
