Adobe Interactive Forms - ADS Configuration

Hello experts,
I'm setting up my CE7.2 system to use Adobe Forms. Now I configged my ADSUser and tested it through WebService Navigator using com.adobe/AdobeDocumentServces_com.adobe_AdobeDocumentServicesVi. It was ok and received my version number.
Now when I try to run my process, my process task (which is the Human Activity with the form) has the status Inactive. When I try "Resend form" I get an error. (see image below).
Following image is of my log files with error's on my ReaderRights, and top error is based on the "Resend Form".

Q1: Would the only problem be the Credentials I need to request? Or am I missing something else..
As I am a only an IT student, I'm looking into how I can request these credentials at the moment.
Q2: According to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/de/4b/95ae5426f26e83e10000000a421937/content.htm I would only need credentials when having an 'Interactive' form. How do I make a ViewOnly form then?
Q3 Is it possible to have a step in your process which only sends a pdf with information and moves to the next process step automaticly without the need of a 'Submit' in the pdf? I'm thinking of a Mail Notification Activity here.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Wouter,
if you only want to send a PDF without any user response, you do not need to use a human activity.
I think the notification activity doesn't support attachments, so you would need to write a piece of java code to send out the PDF via mail, and then call it from the process via an automated activity.
Regards,
Christian

  • Configuration of Adobe Interactive Forms with CE 7.2

    Hello all,
    We use ALD 8.1 in our ECC ABAP development system and we get the Adobe Interactive Forms services from our SOLMAN (java stack).
    We would now like to use ALD 9 which can only be configuered with CE 7.2 (Note 1522483).
    We could find the documentation for the configuration of Adobe Document Services in CE 7.2 in the following path:
    [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce72/helpdata/en/45/bf03b55b9847f2e10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm]
    But we could not find the configuation guide for the Interactive Forms part. Does anyone have this documentation?
    Do we still have to create the Destination FP_ICF_DATA_SID?
    What is the Path Prefix in the ADS RFC from our ABAP system? The old one doesn't seem to work anymore.

  • Web Dynpro render configuration for Adobe Interactive Forms

    Hi,
    Is there any possibility to check rendering configuration for Web Dynpro application? I built web dynpro application which shows simple Adobe Interactive Form. In Sap Adobe LiveCycle Designer all buttons of Interactive Form are working (JavaScript) but in the form showed by web dynpro application in IE buttons have no action. Do You know what is the cause or where to search?

    Hi Pawel,
    The interface of the UI element InteractiveForm contains the method SET_LEGACY_EDITING_MODE, which in turn contains a Boolean parameter. The form is then ready for input
    method WDDOMODIFYVIEW.
    data: LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM type ref to CL_WD_INTERACTIVE_FORM,
    LR_METHOD_HANDLER type ref to IF_WD_IACTIVE_FORM_METHOD_HNDL.
    check first_time = abap_true.
    LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM ?= VIEW->GET_ELEMENT(u2018INTERACTIVE_FORM_1u2019).
    LR_METHOD_HANDLER ?= LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM->_METHOD_HANDLER.
    LR_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_LEGACY_EDITING_ENABLED( abap_true ).

    Hi
    I suggest that you first review your configuration using this tutorial which short and to the point:
    [ADS configuration|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f03414f8-d4ce-2a10-d4b6-ab201b329d98]

  • ABAP Webdynpro ADOBE interactive form

    Hi All,
    I have a problem when reading attachments from online adobe interactive form in Webdynpro ABAP.
    I have tried two options:
    Option1:
    Get FP reference.
    l_fp = cl_fp=>get_reference( ).
    try.
    Create PDF Object.
    l_pdfobj = l_fp->create_pdf_object( connection = 'ADS' ).
    Set document.
    l_pdfobj->set_document( pdfdata = lv_pdf ).
    Set task to get attachments.
    l_pdfobj->set_task_getattachments( ).
    Execute, call ADS.
    l_pdfobj->execute( ).
    Get result.
    l_attachments = l_pdfobj->get_attachments( ).
    CATCH cx_fp_runtime_system INTO exc.
    xslt_message = exc->get_text( ).
    ENDTRY.
    option 2: in wdomodify method
    DATA l_ifba TYPE REF TO cl_wd_interactive_form.
    l_ifba ?= view->get_element( 'IF_001' ).
    DATA l_form_method_handler TYPE REF TO IF_WD_IACTIVE_FORM_METHOD_HNDL.
    l_form_method_handler ?= l_ifba->_method_handler.
    DATA l_attachments TYPE tfpattachments.
    l_attachments = l_form_method_handler->get_attachments( ).
    Both options are not getting the attachments.
    Our SAP Netweaver version is 7 and ehp 4, ADS configured.
    If i save the pdf with attachments locally and then use the UI upload and read the attachments it works. But not when the interactive form is online and when i add attachments to it and click submit(where submit code is the option 1 code), it is not finding any attachments. I wonder whether pdfsource context stores the attachments or not.
    When i check the note, SAP say that attachments are supported from ehp2.
    What is that i am missing? Any direction would be good.
    In worst case i will do webdynpro screens for attachments maintenance, wanted to check with all experts before taking this option.
    Please someone answer.
    Thanks
    Anu

    >When i check the note, SAP say that attachments are supported from ehp2.
    That is correct.  Attachments are supported as of NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 2.
    >Our SAP Netweaver version is 7 and ehp 4, ADS configured.
    Not possible.  NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 4 doesn't even exist yet.  In fact 7.0 Enhancement Package 2 won't start ramp-up until December 20th. I think you are confusing your ERP Enhancement Package level with your NetWeaver Enhancement Package level.  I'm guessing that it is much more likely that you are on ERP 6.0 Enhancement Package 4.  This level of ERP actually runs on NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 1.

  • Error in Adobe Interactive forms

    Hi All,
    I am implementing MSS/ESS.
    I created an Adobe Interactive form in my View and mapped it with the corresponding context. I binded the interactive form(in the Right Click->Interactive Form->Edit) also with the corresponding context. But when I run the Application, I am not getting the following error.
    com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.base.core.PDFDocumentRuntimeException: IOException occured while creating template stream from the TemplateSource : ./temp/webdynpro/public/sap.com/ess~rep/webdynpro/Components/com.sap.xss.hr.rep.vciframe.VcRfwIFrame/VcRfwIFrameView_InteractiveForm.xdp (No such file or directory (errno:2))

    HI
    Hi
    Firstly check weather ur ads configuration of the server is done properly. i
    see weather ur ads settings are as per the following document
    Tutorial on Installing Credentials and Configuring ADS
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f03414f8-d4ce-2a10-d4b6-ab201b329d98
    f yes ur ADSUser password
    must have expired follow the steps to reset the password
    SAP NetWeaver '04 / 2004s
    1. Log on to the Visual Administrator.
    2. Follow the path:
    Server -> services -> Security Provider -> User Management tab
    3. Display the user ADSUser.
    4. Change the ADSUser password. (You can use the same password.) Check the checkbox
    'No password change is required'.
    Note: The below mentioned technical user role is available for the ADSuser as of
    NetWeaver 2004s SPS 7.
    5. Log on to 'User Management' of your AS Java:
    http://<AS Java server>:<http port> -> User Management
    6. Display the user ADSUser.
    7. In the 'Security policy' field, change the setting from 'Default' to 'Technical
    Users' and save.
    (For more information on the 'Security Policy' option, see the Release Notes in
    the SAP Help Portal at
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/he
    lpdata/en/44/04265816343fdbe10000000a11466f/frameset.htm.)
    After changing this option, the ADSUser password will not expire.
    Note that this feature is not available for SAP NetWeaver '04.
    regards,
    Nikhil Tapkir.

  • 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.
    Regards,
    Rich Heilman

  • ISR with Adobe Interactive Forms: java.io.FileNotFoundException

    Dear SDN readers,
    I am currently working on an ISR with Adobe Interactive Forms project, and I must say that I find the configuration rather complex, however until now I kept making progress.
    Now I've come to the next error given by webdynpro, when testing the scenario from the testbutton in transaction QISRSCENARIO:
    java.io.FileNotFoundException:
    .\temp\webdynpro\public\sap.com\pcui_gp~isr\webdynpro\
    Components\com.sap.pcui_gp.isr.isrprocessevent.showform.
    VcISRShowForm\
    ..\..\sap.com\pcui_gp~isr\IsrForm\
    ~wd_key18_1135844968237\unknown.pdf 
    ... <i>(some more info)</i> ... (The system cannot find the path specified)
    Indeed, this path does not exist on our portal. I assume this has something to do with credential files, but since the ADS is running fine from ABAP I cannot see why.
    Has anyone experienced this before, or can someone point me into a direction to look for?
    Thanks in advance and best regards, Hans

    Found it. The problem occurs on the conbination ECC SP8 and Netweaver 13.
    See note 874130, but make sure to read it in German.

  • 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,

    You need the following for running Adobe Forms:
    Server Side:
    ADS must be configured on the server to run IF
    Client Side:
    Adobe reader 7.1 or above (8.0 or above for ZCI forms)
