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.

  • Heavy performance issues using Adobe Interactive Form PDFs generated by SAP BPM

    Dear experts,
    we use Adobe Interactive Form PDFs (generated with LiveCycle Designer) as Human Tasks within SAP BPM processes. The PDFs are generated and transmitted correctly, but when they are opened at the receivers PC, Windows freezes for 2-3 minutes, then the PDF opens and can be filled out and sent back. The next PDFs can be opened much faster, but when the PC is restarted, we get the same problem again. We use Adobe Reader XI (11.0.2) on our clients; is their any know performance issue?
    Please note, that we have this problem with EVERY Adobe Interactive Form PDF... I created a simple PDF containing just a field and the client PC still freezes. So it can't be in the form or the scripting. Normal static PDFs can be opend without any problems.
    Best regards,
    David

    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.

  • E-mail adobe interactive form without showing it..

    Hi experts!
    I am trying to create a WD apllication in which when the user presses a button an adobe interactive form will be called and e-mail, without showing the actual form.
    From what i saw in the corresponding tutorial, in order to attach the file to the e-mail, the file must first exist in pdf format.
    But, during runtime all i have is the pdfsource.
    So, the point is: how can i create the actual pdf from the pdf Source without showing it???? 
    Thanx in advance!!!!

    Hi,
    actually I would not recommend that. That's something which has to be programmed completely new and does not exist at the moment. If you want to have it outside in the internet for externals you will force candidates to use Adobe Acrobat reader in a certain version and might get browser problems. So technical support might become an issue.
    So the only opportunities you have without creating something new, is using Web Dynpro standard or a third party tool based on flash.

  • Control not going from Adobe Interactive form to ABAP WD Event handler

    Hi
    I am facing an issue with adobe interactive forms and WD ABAP integration.
    The buttons in adobe interactive form when clicked is going round and round and the control is not going to the ABAP code(WD ABAP event handler code whatsoever). I have also set the debugger but the control is not moving to the ABAP code from the adobe interactive form.
    Can anyone help me what can be the issue here and how can I resolve the same?
    Thanks.

    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.

  • Standard SAP Adobe Template in Adobe Interactive form

    Hi folks,
             Does any one knows how to import a standard SAP Adobe template (for eg :- PR template or SO create template) which is given by SAP into Adobe Interactive form UI element in Webdynpro perspective. I tried opening Adobe Interactive element by editing it and tried for import a std adobe template but I did not see any option to do so.
             Appreciate an early response.
    Regards,
    Guru Subramanian B

    Hi Guru
    if you are involved in an SAP-internal project, which includes the development of a form, there are probably internal ways to do that.
    If you need any of the official customer-ready forms we ship, you would need access to a mySAP ERP 2004 system and try and get one of the print forms out of that system. SAP is currently not providing any of their official forms outside the respective application.
    As for your second question, first a clarification: The template as such is not in the system as PDF, but in a format called XDP. The PDF is the generated document that includes the system data.
    Calling another system via BAPI and RFC is supported as part of the Web Dynpro for Java framework, and obviously in ABAP. As you need to define a form context to determine where your data for the form comes from, this data can come from other systems using BAPI/RFC. This is SAP functionality supported in SAP NetWeaver '04.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • SUBMIT(to SAP) Button in Adobe Interactive Forms (Web Dynpro Java)

    Hi ,
    I m using Adobe Interactive Forms with Web Dynpro Java
    But submit to SAP button is not working
    i m using NWDS 7.2 with adobe lifecycledesigner 6.0
    with adobe reader 9.0
    when i click submit to SAP button in interactive form nothing happens and
    data is not transfered into web dynpro Context
    Can anybody help me out................

    Hi Adi,
    The evniorment and versions you posted seems to be quite scattered, make sure all are of compatible and to the lates.
    Anyways this was not the reason for your problem.
    Can you tace if the button click event is triggered ....?
    1) when the PDF is published can you see any of the fields editable...? reason behind is generally when you create a form in ADLC it comes up in static PDF format if its so you need to make it dynamic.
    I dont know if adding the webdynpro script to your form might fix.

    Sai

  • Send Data back to SAP from Adobe Interactive Form

    Hello friends,
    I created a Adobe Interactive form using transaction SFP.
    This form have a comment field.
    My requirement is user enter comments in this filed and click on Submit.
    It needs to call a BAPI and save data in SAP table.
    thankz in Advane
    regards,
    Sumit Malhotra

    Hi,
    Create an WebService for the BAPI and in the Adobe Form create a New Data Connection of Type "WSDL", while creating the New Data Connection it asks for the Path so get the URL Path of the WebService created for the BAPI and assign it to the New Data Connection and specify the Binding for the respective fields under the "Import/Export Binding" in Binding tab of Object Pallette.
    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.

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".

    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...
