Adobe Interactive Form via Blackberry?

I have scoured this site looking for information related to Blackberry access to Adobe Interactive Forms. The only small bit of information I found was from note 1002905 which is dated back to 11/2006. I am wondering if there exists any solution out there now for Blackberry access to interactive forms. We are implementing HCM Processes and Forms for MSS/HRAS and most all of our managers are use to working off their Blackberrys for their current MSS apps....so yeh, this is kind of a biggy for them. I know we can run the Webdynpro on the Blackberry, so our hurdle now is to be able to actually reference the form within the Webdynpro from the Blackberry. Any information will be most appreciated!

Hi Chris,
Were you able to design any solution for Blackberry. If yes, can you please help me.

Amit

Adobe Interactive Form in Blackberry?

Hi Everybody,
I had designed a Adobe Interactive form in webdynpro for java in netweaver developer studio. Now i want to run the url of this application in blackberry browser.
Actually I am able to run the webdynpro for java applications in blackberry simulator by executing the generated url of the webdynpro applications.But when I am trying the same with webdynpro for java application which contains adobe interactive form, blackberry is unable to display the form in browser.
Please help me out with some procedure to do so. Will "dochawk" or "reqwireless webviewer" will help. if so please give the clarrification.
Thanks in advance,
best regards,
Madhu.

Hello Madhu,
To show a PDF on your blackberry hand held device, you would need a micro edition
of Acrobat Reader installed on the device. As far as i know, there is no such Reader available in the market as of now from Adobe. Hence, your scenario can not be realized.
Web Dynpro can render itself on the blackerry because Web Dynpro's html client generates "html" output which is understandable by the blackberry browser.

Krish

Adobe Interactive Form on BlackBerry device

Hi,
I am trying to open an adobe interactive form (generated by SAP and Adobe LifeCycle Designer) on my BlackBerry device.
Instead of the document's content I get the following message:
When opening a PDF document containing an XFA form on the BlackBerry 10 smartphone the following error is displayed:
This document is an XFA form. XFA forms cannot be filled using the Mobile Adobe Reader.
Is there any possibility to open and maintain the document anyway or what is adobe's strategy regarding this scenario?
Thanks a lot and best regards,
Thomas

They haven't really announced it, because there is no product to announce. Rather the opposite.
There are no conversion tools, so far as I know.
XFA forms are a non-starter if you want portability.
AcroForms are a nightmare in themselves, because the functionality is limited in Adobe Reader and varies between absent and weird in other products. No idea about Blackberry support.
You will not find a simple recommendation. Rather, you need to use Acroforms and carefully test everything (EVERYTHING: no assumptions) on every platform you intend to support.
Yes, rather unsatisfactory, but until Adobe realise that the future is platform equivalence or irrelevance, this is where we are.

Hi,
Check the answers for u r questions...
What do Adobe Interactive Forms in SAP HCM do?
Adobe Forms is the second step in the HCM process, as HCM is the online process..in between of the process adobe form will come in to picture to fill online.
What is the difference between Interactive/Non-Interactive Forms?
In non-interactive forms,there is no database interaction.If u say interactive forms.if u enter data in the form data will be saved directly in the data base..
In which sub-modules of SAP HCM are such forms used?
OM(Orzanization Management),PA(Personel Adminstration) and PD(personel Admin) ..ect...
What is that an HCM consultant has to expect from Basis and ABAP consultants for this?
from basis HCM dont required more help..only authorization and access only.
from ABAP u need more..if u use standard backend system..some times data will not picked automatically at that time through BADI u need to fill the data to the form,and to do validation in the form level..ABAPER need to write scripting
Where can I get reference material on Adobe Interactive Forms in SAP HCM.

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

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.

How to save adobe interactive forms offline in blackberry

Hi Experts,
A basic question...
Can a user save an adobe interactive form in blackberry while he is not connected to the SAP system.
The user is not logged on to the internet(the user is offline/ not connected to the system)when he or she fills out the form.
Can the user access the adobe interactive form offline and save it in blackberry if he is not connected to the internet.
Thanks,
Sangeeta.

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,

How to binnding the data in the adobe interactive forms for making a table?

Hi, experts,
Function:
Through the sharing context node between adobe interactive form and a WDA for ABAP, display the data of the sflight_node in the ADOBE.
version:
Acrobat Reader 8.1.0
currently both of the SAP-ABA and SAP-BASIS SP level: 9
ADS : Successful.
The following is my action:
1.     Create a interface (Z_SFLIGHT_INTF) with a attribute node (SFLIGHT_NODE) that type is "sflight" using the transaction code "sfp"
2.     Create a form (Z_SFLIGHT_FORM) using the transaction code "sfp" with the interface Z_SFLIGHT_INTF.
3.     Trag the sflight_node in the Z_SFLIGHT_INTF to the form( Z_SFLIGHT_FORM).
4.     Open the layout tab in the form(Z_SFLIGHT_FORM), and create a table(table1). Click the table created just now, select the binding tab in the object tab, and in the Default Binding, select the SFLIGHT_NODE under the Z_SFLIGHT_FORM.
Problem 1:
Do you tell me whether is right for binding the context SFLIGHT_NODE using this way? If bind 3 context attributes in the sflight, how can I do it?
5.     Create a WDA for abap (ZZ_02_SFLIGHT), and create a view(MAINVIEW) using transaction code "se80" in the sap-gui with adobe interactive form. Set the templatesource(Z_SFLIGHT_FORM) in the adobe interactive form properties and saved, and then, datasource is "MAINVIEW_Z_SFLIGHT_FORM" automatically.
6.     But I only found the attribute SFLIGHT_NODE under the context node(Z_SFLIGHT_NODE), and I don't found the NODE ( SFLIGHT_NODE ) context in the context tab in the WDA for abap so that I don't set data to the context NODE (SFLIGHT_NODE).
Problem 2:
Do you tell me what can I do it so that I get the node SFLIGHT_NODE rather than attribute in the WDA for setting the data to the CONTEXT NODE (SFLIGHT_NODE)?
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Tao

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.

How to store adobe Interactive form PDF in archive link?

Hi everybody,
I had create a WebDybpro Abap that contain an Adobe Interactive Form, now I must store this Interactive Form into Archive Link like a PDF document.
I succeeded to save the PDF document on the archive link but after this operation, when I open this document saved, it doesn't show me the data but only the Interactive Form structure. The only data that file PDF saves are those I passed to Interactive Form during at the event initialization, but it lose all others datas that I inserted on the Interactive Form before to save.
There is one mode to save also these datas or I can store only data that I load at the initialization event?

Sending Offline Interactive Form Via Email

Hi,
I am running NW 2004s SPS09 and trying to configure GP to use offline adobe interactive forms. As of now, I am able to create a callable object from an Adobe template, prefill fields from other background execution/web service callable objects, and launch a process when the form is submitted via email. I am having trouble routing the form to the next processor through email. I created an interactive form callable object, checked 'Enable Use In Guided Procedures' and selected 'Create Offline Interactive Form And Send By E-Mail'. My first thought was that there was some delay in the sending of emails, but callable objects in other processes that send plain text notifications work fine. The process does not enter an erroneous state and waits at that action. Looking at the GP monitor under NW administration, the correct processor is set for the action, but the task does not appear in the user's UWL or GP runtime center (I figure this is because the task is meant to be completed offline). Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
~Greg

Turned out the 'switchToNewMailCommunication' property for the GP service was set to true when it should have been false.

Tnx for the comments!

Adobe Interactive Forms without Web Dynpro and ACF???

Hi All, we would like to build an interactive forms solution based on the Adobe software integrated into WAS. However, the customer requires a true thin client application with no additional installation on the client. Integrating Adobe Interactive Forms into Web DynPro however requires the Active Component Framework (ACF) to be installed since these forms are integrated into the page within an ActiveX container.
So the question is whether there is a way to use Adobe Interactive forms including the Adobe Documents Service within WAS but without(!) using Web Dynpro?(the full blown Adobe LifCycle Forms solution is not an option). Any suggestions on this are highly appreciated!
Tanks!
Frodo

Hello everyone,
I would like to add a couple of points from the SAP Product Management perspective.
Adobe has a number of stand-alone products that are the foundation for what SAP can now offer thanks to our partnership. This is exactly why we decided on a partnership that provides us with established technology, which is now integrated.
It is true that Web Dynpro is the main SAP way of integrating the interactive functions of the solution. We made this decision consciously, because the development and run-time environments provide very useful features that reduce the need for manual coding, such as the possibility of passing the data back to the backend using the Web Dynpro context. The automatism we offer here needs to be implemented from scratch with any other solution, including the Adobe stand-alone one.
While it is true that the ACF constitutes a certain limitation for the reasons you mention, Adobe will remedy this in 2005. The Reader/Web Dynpro integration will be available later this year for multiple platforms (OS, browsers) and will not require ACF anymore.
If you do not want to use a full-blown Web Dynpro application for your concrete scenario, consider developing an application that provides nothing but the interactive PDF form to the end user, to be filled in using the stand-alone Reader. The submit of the form data (with or without the PDF itself) could then happen via HTTP or e-mail.
Kind regards,
Markus Meisl

Adobe Interactive forms - ABAP Webdynpro or JAVA Webdynpro?

Hi,
I am an ABAPER and I got few requirements for Adobe Interactive forms Offline Scenario/Online scenarios & ALV reports.
I have practiced a session ( How Tou2026execute an RFC model with inputs from Interactive Formswith RFC Module ) -JAVA webdynpro where it interacts with SAP via BAPI.
Now my question is I am bent more towards ABAP.. I want to do this in ABAP but unfortunately I haven't found any similar material for ABAP webdynrpo.Could anyone pls suggest me !
FYI.. We are also developing some ALV Webdynpro reports and I am using PURE ABAP which i like it.
So the other reason is we don't want install NWDI and complicate this structure as we don't have ESS/MSS requirment here. Just we need some forms/reports on portal.
Any suggestions and links which can help me here?

Hi Vara,
You can develop Interactive forms using WD ABAP also.
[E Learning- Interactive Forms using WD ABAP|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/media/uuid/c766e918-0b01-0010-99b1-c2b78cd059b3]
WD Java is useful in case, when your ABAP system is less than ECC 6.0. Otherwise you can achieve same functionalities in WD ABAP also.
Hope this will help you.
