Adobe Interactive Forms on Mobile Devices

Dear colleaguesu2019,
We are planning to adopt Adobe Interactive Forms (AIF) to our business scenarios but there is prerequisite that AIF must be able to run on mobile devices such as Blackberry/Iphone.
As far as I know current technology of Blackberry/Iphone has limited support to pdf files. I tried to run an AIF on Blackberry but the form did not respond.
Is there any way to run AIF on Blackberry/Iphone or any other third party tool that is available to do that?
Regards
Melih

Hi Andres,
we would like to use the iPad to fill out an interactive form. But obviously there is no app you could use for that. Once I searched the net for this issue I found a thread where a developer stated to create a corresponding app for this need. The mentioned sap note is as of 2006. In the meantime there should be some progress in this matter since customers keep on asking for a solution.
Could anyone from SAP make a suggestion here?
Cheers,
Alexander

  • 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.

    The Adobe Reader was installed in handheld. It can open standalone (offline) pdf document. But it would appear error when display dynamic generated adobe form in browser.

  • Launch Adobe offline form from Mobile device

    Hi,
    Our use case : We are trying to launch adobe form from Mobile device.
    Idea : The form template is locally stored on the mobile device. The mobile application tries to launch this adobe form and populate some of the fields and then send this data to SAP.
    What is the best way to achieve this ? Is it possible to launch the adobe form and then populate the fields?
    What is the best way to transmit the data, as GPRS is the mode of communication.
    any thoughts would really help.
    Thanks,
    Saujanya

    Hi Saujanya,
    Are you using SAP NetWeaver Mobile 7.1?

  • Interactive form on mobile devices and other PDF viewers

    Hello! I made an interactive PDF, which i first made in InDesign. It's basically built up like this: There are fields with a picture and text which go to transparency 0% when i go over them with the mouse and then you can see the background. I dind't have problems in Acrobat Pro and the Reader on PC and MAC, but when i open the PDF on a mobile device, even Adobe Reader, i can't use these effects. When i tap just short on the screen it marks the field for like a second and when i leave my finger longer on the touchscreen it shows me some options like making a signature and so on.. Is there any way to get this interactive effect going on mobile devices? And could it be that the interactive form only works with Adobe software? because I tried it with a preinstalled version of a Windows 8 PDF Viewer and the only thing that worked were the links i set to some websites.

  • How to open an adobe interactive document in mobile device such as iPad?

    Hi experts,
    I have tried create PDF by adobe but this does not seem to work.
    I want to be able to fill in form fields in an interactive PDF document created in acrobat pro and save the data on the form. My interactive PDF documents don't open on my iPad.
    What can I do?

    I see that v10.4.4 of the Adobe Reader iOS app supports PDF form fields. This link goes to an interactive form that I can complete using Adobe Reader on my iPad:
    help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Samples/interactiveform_enabled.pdf
    I have created a number of PDF forms in LiveCycle Designer v8.2.1, and none of them work on the iPad like this sample form does. In fact, the form fields in the PDFs I create don't appear at all when viewed on the iPad. What am I doing wrong?

  • ADOBE interactive forms in Black Berry

    Hi,
    We have a requirement to send the ADOBE Interactive forms to Balck Berry and Open in the Black Berry and fill the form and need to send it to SAP
    Is it possible on Black berry?
    If possible, how to implement that.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks,
    Adi.

    Most likely not possible as there is no reader for Blackberry unless you use a 3rd party software. Have a look at Note 1002905 - Interactive PDF Forms on PDAs and Other Mobile Devices.

  • 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.

  • Adobe flash player on mobile devices

    im not sure my doubt is out of league, but i hope to find an answer. that'swhy im posting such a question here.
    i am developing a website in which an user uploads a swf file and download it as apk(android format). i am using adobe flash player to display the swf on webview of devices. it seems to be working on samsung s4 devices in india but it is not working on samsung s4(with same kernel version and os verion. and it is a locked device) in US. always the flashplayer opens and when the user tries to interact with the swf game, it crashes. so can anyone help me out to find the issue?

    hey maria,
    appreciate your explanation. you were right, the flashplayer is inbuilt in that apk along with the swf file. so when ever some one runs the apk, it installs both apk and adobe flash player on mobile device just like any app. it seems to be working in almost all devices except s3 ans s4 in US. using my web application any user can convert a swf to apk and this apk runs on a android device and works fine. but problem comes with s3 and s4 only(as i mentioned the devices from US only. s3 and s4 in India are working fine). that is where i stuck.

  • InDesign document as an interactive PDF for mobile devices?

    How can I export an InDesign document as an interactive PDF for mobile devices?

    Avoid SWF at all cost and export using Adobe PDF (interactive).
    The experience will depend on the PDF reader that the user has installed.

  • Interactive pdf and mobile devices

  • Designing Labels using Adobe Interactive Forms

    Is anyone out there using Adobe Interactive Forms to design packaging labels?  If so, I'd be interested in hearing about your experiences with this.  In particular, I'd like to know if you evaluated third-party label design software and did a comparative analysis with Adobe Interactive Forms as well as the results of your analysis (what were the strengths and weaknesses of each).
    We are a medical device manufacturing company, so we have to comply with the FDA's 21 CFR Part 820 regulations so ideally I'd like to get some feedback from another FDA-regulated company.

    Hi Pedro
    in principle, this is the way you need to set up your landscape to work with a 4.7 system.
    <b>However</b>: If you read the FAQ here in <a href="http://sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/interactiveforms">SDN</a> or in the <a href="http://service.sap.com/adobe">SAP Service Marketplace</a>, you'll see that SAP explicit recommends <b>NOT</b> to use this setup for printing scenarios. This is due to possible issues with performance expectations.
    You are welcome to use this setup for interactive scenarios.

  • How to create an online fillable form for mobile devices, tablets and smartphones.

    How can I create "online fillable forms" for Mobile devices, tablets and smarphones?
    I already created an "online fillable form" with Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for PCs and MACs but this form can not be filled using mobile devices, it can only be downloaded.
    Thanks.

    Hi George,
    I gather from your reply that I won't be able to create "online fillable forms" for Mobile devices with Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. Correct? 
    If Adobe does not have another software similar to Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, would you please suggest me any other means of creating "online fillable forms" for Mobile devices? 
    Would you think that an HTML developed form would be a fair substitute for the PDF fillable forms that I use for PCs and MACs?
    Thanks,
    Alvaro

  • Web Service is not triggering  using Adobe Interactive Form

    Hello Experts,
      I know this is a common topic now , but the problem I am facing, no thread help me to solve that.
    Problem:--
    My requirement is to create an adobe form , in which
      -> an input field is needed,and some  description is needed.
    I used button to trigger my webservice.
    Here , I want to clear that , I have made a proper WEB SERVICE using Remote Enabled FM.
    My web service is working fine as I have tested from WS NAVIGATOR(Note:  http://<source>:<port>/wsnavigator).
    In Adobe Form (SFP), I have made a new Data connection using WebService WSDL.
    All Request and Response parameters are availabe in Data View palletes of Form.
    Button that is available from data connection is used.
    I  have used Button as  an Execute button , under execute tab in connection , I had given DATA CONNECTION name .
    But above things not worked so ,
    I also tried with Regular Button , and under click written Javascript/FormCalc  which is:--
    var cURL = 'http://x.y.com:8012/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/ZMATERIAL_DESCRIPTION?sap-client=800&wsdl=1.1';
    var service = SOAP.connect(cURL);
    xfa.connectionSet.DataConnection2.execute(0);

    So, I think there can be a little issue may be , I am forgetting to click some special  atrributes in form .
    Please help me and let me know what can be probable reasons that webservice is not triggering
