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.

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.

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.

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,

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,

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.

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).

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.
Kind Regards

SAP Interactive Forms and SAP Smart Forms for Human Capital Management

Hi gurus,
pls help me understand what are SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe and SAP Smart Forms for Human Capital Management (HCM)?
regds
jack

read here
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/SAPInteractiveFormsbyAdobe#SAPInteractiveFormsbyAdobe-WhatarethedifferencesbetweenSmartFormsandAdobeForms%3F
What are the differences between Smart Forms and Adobe Forms?
For both of them, SAP dynamically creates a function module that must be called from an ABAP program to generate the form
In Smart Forms, it is possible to add ABAP code during generation of the form, that is not possible with Adobe Forms
It is possible to add javascript or FormCalc code in Adobe Forms, which is executed during the generation of the form
Other differences are indicated in Note 1009567 Functional differences SAP Interactive Forms/Smart 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)

Matthias
