Adobe Interactive Forms with Browser Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement to implement HCM P&F using Adobe Interactive Forms. These Adobe Forms will be accessed using Browser Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox. I have come across that the Adobe Interactive Forms are not supported on these browsers. In the same regard I have also gone through the Product Availability Matrix by SAP which specifies that Forms are not support on these browser and neither SAP has future plans to support them.
PAM can be found on link: http://service.sap.com/pam
I would like to know from experts that if any of the project has successfully implemented Adobe Interactive Forms with browser Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox or
is there any solution which can make these forms work successfully on browser Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox.
Your early reply will be highly appreciated.
thanks
Manoj

Hello,
Mozilla Firefox is supported for Adobe Interactive Forms on Windows operation system.
Unfortunatelly we do not have support for Mac OS and Safari browser.
Please re-check the PAM.

Browser hangs when an Adobe Interactive Form is

Hi Folks,
I'm fairly new to ABAP (< 1 year) and am in the process of creating my first Adobe Interactive Form. In fact it will be the first IFbA at our company, when I get done with it!
Here's the problem am facing: The Interactive Form that I'm building is called within an ABAP Web Dynpro application. If the displayType in the view is set to 'native', when the IFbA is called, the browser hangs and eventually shows the form after 5 full minutes. However, if it is set to 'activeX', it comes up with the form instantly. It does not matter what objects(WD activeX or native) I have on the form, It does the same thing.
Our System information:
SAP_Basis and SAP_ABA: 701 SP5
ADS: 802.20100902045248.720952
Adobe Reader 9
I've looked at the SAP Note 999998 and have pretty much done what they've asked for. But, have had no progress with it. I'm pretty much at my wits end. So, somebody please help?!
Thanks,
CS

Hi,
Goto the Layout,
Then goto Utilities->Insert WebDynproScript and Activate.
it will work.

File browser button on Adobe Interactive Form

Hello,
We have a ZCI Adobe Interactive Form with XML-Schema-Based Interface.
There is a text field on the form with a button beside it. The requirement is that when this button is clicked, a file browser window should open up. After the user selects the file on PC, the file path should get populated in the text field.
I have tried using xfa.host.importData() in the Click event of the button. But nothing seems to happen.
Note that all other methods like xfa.host.messageBox() seem to work fine.
Can anybody please help?
Thanks in advance
Sagar

Ok, I was able to solve it.
I placed a hidden text field on the form and wrote the following JavaScript on 'Click' event.
var sFile;
event.target.importDataObject(sFile);
var oFile;
oFile = event.target.getDataObject(sFile);
pa0001.Subform.FILENAME.rawValue = oFile.path;
var cFile;
cFile = event.target.getDataObjectContents(sFile);
pa0001.Subform.filecontent.rawValue = util.stringFromstreams(cFile,"utf-8");
This will upload the file content and place it in the hidden text field. I can use this hidden text field in my Web Dynpro application.
Just came to know that the Java Script we write in Adobe is known as AcroJS! Nice one.
By the way, Blag can I give points to myself for answering my own question?

Problem with ACF for Adobe Interactive Forms

Hi Gurus,
I had created an adobe interactive form using web dynpro for abap, but I am getting the 500 connection timed out error in the browser when I test the web dynpro application. Where as a normal web dynpro application without adobe form is running successfully.
The system details are :-
     Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0
     NW04S SPS9
     Adobe Reader 9
     IE 7.
I followed the note 766191 and downloaded and installed ACF(for NW04s and higher version supported upto acrobat reader 9) from browser itself.
I also followed the note 1150277 for enabling IE settings on ActiveX controls. And I checked in IE with Tools->Internet Options->Programs->Manage Add-ons, but the ACF components were not available.
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance,
Sriratna.

Hi Aleksandar

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.

WD BusinessGraphics Image - Displaying it in Adobe Interactive Form

Hi.
We need to display some BusinessGraphics (runtime generated) in Adobe Interactive Form. So, we tried to solve it using two ways:
1 - Generate a URL to access the BusinessGraphics image, using web cached resource. But somehow, it doesn't works well. When we call the URL directly on Internet Explorer, it is displayed. But when we set the URL in an Image in Interactive Form, no success... it is not displayed.
Ex.: using Formcalc on Initialize event: "Image.value.image.href = $record.PortalData.EmployeePhotoURL"
OBS.: when we map it to a normal URL (ex.: "http://server.domain.com/image1.jpg"), NOT generated in runtime, it works well...
2 - Generate the image as a byte stream, convert it to Base64 and bind it to an ImageField, as I saw wrote here in a thread (without any more helpful answers...). The problem here is that we dont know how to generate the Byte stream for the BusinessGraphics image.
Does anyone knows how to generate a byte array from an Image of a BusinessGraphics component? Or have a differente approach to display a BusinessGraphics on an Interactive Form (like deals directly with IGS)?
Regards,
Douglas Frankenberger
PS.: we are using:
- NWDS 7.0.10
- Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0.050519

Hi Chintan.
Our images were dinamically generated, so we dont have a filename to access it. The method getAbsoluteWebResourceURL requires a valid filename to generate the URL.
The URL that we have follows the below format:
http://server:port/webdynpro/dispatcher/vendor.com/xyzwDCName/DCNameApp/~wd_key800_1420382789975/.gif?sap-wd-download=1&sap-wd-cltwndid=0f546c20792111dd80ac0018a451af48&sap-wd-appwndid=0f645c21762111ddc3810057a451af48&sap-wd-norefresh=X
When we try to open it directly on IE, it works. But, when we set this URL to be opened by an Image in Interactive Form (using a script and/or mapping it to URL property), it doesn't shows up, even allowing Adobe Reader to access the address above (a dialog is shown to require access to all URLs that we have used to the images). Probably what happens is that Adobe try to request a WD resource, and WD understand this Adobe Reader request as a non-compatible browser. So, it denies the response (see "Browser is not supported" message accessing a URL to an Image).
Is there a way to go through this?

Capturing entire directory path in Adobe Interactive Form

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I have a field ZPATH1 on Adobe Interactive Form. I am putting a BROWSE button and writing following JavaScript on CLICK event on this button for populating the chosen file path into field ZPATH1.
*Start of JavaScript
var sFile;
event.target.importDataObject(sFile);
var oFile;
oFile = event.target.getDataObject(sFile);
this.parent.parent.Sub_Form_Fields_Mass.ZPATH1.rawValue = oFile.path;
*End of JavaScript
1. event.target.importDataObject(sFile) --> Giving me the pop up to select the file.
2. this.parent.parent.Sub_Form_Fields_Mass.ZPATH1.rawValue = oFile.path; --> Putting the oFile path in field ZPATH1 on the form.
3. This way is only giving me the selected FILE NAME whereas I need the complete path.
I have tried below way also:
this.parent.parent.Sub_Form_Fields_Mass.ZPATH1.rawValue = even.target.path;
This function returns me the complete path but in URL form. It does not give me the presentation server path.
Please suggest me how to get the complete path of presentation server to the file.
Appreciation would be honored in form of points!!!

Ashish
