Adobe interactive form size double

Hi all,
I'm very new to Adobe form area and we have faced an issue that pdf generated from adobe form is much bigger when it is interactive form (fillable flag set to 'X') The size increases more than double when it is an interactive.
Just wondering what would be factors to this problem and is there anything we can do to reduce the size of interactive pdf.
Regards,
Pan

Even with upgrade I was still having problem, so what I did was...
I created new new interactive form.
I deleted old interactive form from the layout and recreated one.
When I went to adobe design form, I just imported old form (it automatically retained all settings)
and saved it and activiated it... and It worked.
It wasn't the best solution, but since I only had one interactive form, it didn't take that long to do it (probably total of 10 minutes.)

Adobe Interactive Form PDF doubles in size after saving

Hi all,
We have a interactive form, and after generation it's about 925 kB (when saving).
Now, when you change a single field (add some input or something), and then saving, the file size almost doubles to 1778 kB.
Ofcourse, we would rather have a smaller PDF size.
Does anybody else have this problem and/or knows what causes this ?
I think it's a general problem, but still would be nice if I could explain what is causing it...
Thanks in advance !
L.

Here's one way I could think of doing it. Not sure if it's the most efficient. There may be some function modules out there....
You write a small program to print an Adobe form from the RFC.
Before you call Job open (CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
), set the following parameters of
sfpoutputparams.
Set the outputparamaters to suppress the dialog
utputparams-nodialog = 'X'.
Set to print to a dummy printer
outputparams-dest = 'LP01'.
Set a spool request
outputparams-REQNEW = 'X'.
Then you can call a program like rstxpdft4 to download the PDF file.

Adobe interactive form(ABAP WD)size is increasing & not opening from EP UWL

Hello All,
Adobe interactive form (ABAP WD) size is increasing after cleansing data from MDM and the form is not opening from portal UWL.
Same application is working fine in Dev and Qa environment. In dev and QA the form size is around 150 KB after cleansing data from MDM. Some reason in production it is more than 2 MB. FYI - We have multiple app servers in production.

Hi Babi,
In the adobe form layout library Use the Submit(which internally means submit to SAP) button from the Webdynpro Native category.
Only this button action can connect adobe to web dynpro.
Whenever we click on this particular button the event will be trigger in the ONsubmit event of interactive form UI element in the webdynpro.There we can write our abap code.Hope this will help you.

Data Passing Problem with Adobe Interactive Forms

Hello all,
I am trying to create a Guided Procedure to implement an offline Adobe Interactive form. This form is based on the standard Requisition Request form used in MSS for e-Recruiting.
I've copied the standard form and updated the layout to ZCI using the appropriate transaction (not manually). After that, I've changed the Interface and layout. But to get the Form in the portal you need to have a .xpd file. Therefore, I've tested the form in preview mode, saved a copy as a PDF file and opened this copy in the standalone Adobe Lifecycler Designer. In the standalone version you are able to save the form as a PDF (not possible using transaction SFP).
My question 1 is if this is a wrong approach and there is a better way to retrieve the xpd file.
Next to that, I wrote a RFC function to retrieve data in the backend. This function is working and now I try to pass the data to the Form in the GP (using prefilling). The data is never passed, any points that I need to check there. The data used to export is a structure that contains a number of table types, because Adobe has issues with importing tables it seems. The form is working correctly in the backend.
Points will be rewarded for helpfull awnsers!
Kind regards & thanks in advance...

How to store adobe Interactive form PDF in archive link?

Hi everybody,

Is it possible to create Adobe Interactive form in ECC 5.0 IDES using WDA?

Hi every body,
I am trying to create an adobe interactive form in ECC 5.0 IDES using Web Dynpro for ABAP. But I am facing some configuration problems. My doubt here is -> "Is it possible to create abobe interactive forms in ECC 5.0 IDES using Web Dynpro for ABAP ?"
Please help me out.
thanks in advance,
best regards,
naveen.

Hi Naveen,
ECC 5.0 is NW04 - not NW04s so you don't have WDA at all as you should be able to see from e.g. it not appearing in the list of possible programming objects in transaction SE80.
You'd need ECC 6.0.
Double-check your SAP_BASIS release in menu System > Status > Component Information. If it says 6.40 then that's no good... you need to be on 7.00.
You can still use Java WebDynpro with ECC 5.0 of course.

Is it possible top render an Adobe Interactive form as HTML instead of PDF?

Currently a form developed as an Adobe interactive form is presented to the user as a PDF document (this is somewhat obvious!!!!)
If, for whatever reason, we are unable to use Adobe reader on the front end PC is there a way to configure ADS to render the form as HTML and not PDF??? (In our case its because of a bug that requires the installation of Adobe 8 and this will take require extensive testing and roll out...)
I think this might be possible if I read http://store1.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/forms_coldfusion.html " Form authors can develop a single form design that the Form Server Module can render in PDF or HTML format in a variety of browser environments."
Any insight would be greatly appreciated,
Armando.

Copy&paste from a file excel to Adobe Interactive Form

Hi all
my project is based on WDJ and Adobe Interactive Form.
I need to know if it is possible to do a copy&paste from a file excel to my Adobe Interactive Form.
Can I copy an area of data from an Excel spreadsheet (set of contiguous rows and columns)
and paste them into a text field of my form, preserving the formatting (font, size, structure of coloums/rows,...)?
Can you help me please?
Thanks!

You may try posting this question in either the Designer or Forms forum.
This forum is for the LiveCycle PDF Generator ES product - a server side document conversion module. If you want to convert the entire Excel spreadsheet to a PDF server side, then PDF Generator is the correct tool to use.

Questions regarding Adobe Interactive Forms capabilities

Hi,
We have the following questions regarding Adobe Interactive Forms.
1. Not able to create a text field with dynamic size according to the data entered in the text field in a form with Static Content type forms.   We use a scroll area, but cannot print content that is not visible in the scroll area.
    We currently have Designer 7.0 and 2004 SP 16. I tried to set Form Properties -> PDF Render Format to be Acrobat 7.0 Compatible Dynamic PDF but the text field did not grow dynamically.
2. Another requirement is that once one form is accepted by the Customer, we need to generate a second, new form (with all user entered information from the first form) and the customer should be able to print the form.
    To implement this, we need to have a form that can support dynamically growing text field in some areas, and specific positioning of form elements for other areas. Can we have a dynamic form which lets the fields grow dynamically according to the data entered in the field and with specific positioning of elements?
3. Sending emails from Offline forms Requirement is to send an email as soon as the form is accepted by our Customers. But the Customers can complete the form offline. Is it possible to automatically send an email in an offline forms without having the user push the send button from their email application? Can the Adobe Form do that part automatically?
Appreciate any help regarding above questions.
Thanks,
Kalyan

HI Francois,
Thank you very much for the very helpful information.
1. I am able to insert now the floating field inside a static text but the text does not grow dynamically even when I set the form type to be "Flowed Content". Is it something that required Adobe Designer 7.0 and also 2004s ADS?
2. I can still select only Flow or position content from the option but how can we use both in the same form? I am using Adobe Designer 7.0 and it allows to select only one. Is it again a problem in lower versions that I use?
3. This is an excellent idea and I strongly believe this is going to work (am trying to create POC for this solution). The form should be able to call the webservice as long as the user is connected to internet.
Can you provide your views on the first two points. I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Kalyan

Can Adobe Interactive Forms do calculation

HI GURUs,
I am new to Adobe Forms.
Two quick questions:
1. Is it doable to create drop-down list for selection in Adobe Forms? For example, listing different sizes for shoes selection.
2. Is the Form able to do calculation as Excel does? beccause we need to verify total money spent is less than maximum entitlement.
Thanks.

Hello Experts,
I know this is a common topic now , but the problem I am facing, no thread help me to solve that.
Problem:--
My requirement is to create an adobe form , in which
-> an input field is needed,and some description is needed.
I used button to trigger my webservice.
Here , I want to clear that , I have made a proper WEB SERVICE using Remote Enabled FM.
My web service is working fine as I have tested from WS NAVIGATOR(Note: http://<source>:<port>/wsnavigator).
In Adobe Form (SFP), I have made a new Data connection using WebService WSDL.
All Request and Response parameters are availabe in Data View palletes of Form.
Button that is available from data connection is used.
I have used Button as an Execute button , under execute tab in connection , I had given DATA CONNECTION name .
But above things not worked so ,
I also tried with Regular Button , and under click written Javascript/FormCalc which is:--
var cURL = 'http://x.y.com:8012/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/ZMATERIAL_DESCRIPTION?sap-client=800&wsdl=1.1';
