Adobe Interactive Forms Tutorials for Beginner

Hi Experts,
I am new to Adobe Interactive Forms. Just gone through some documents. Saw some sample forms. But i need some tutorials guide to start the developement in NWDS. Kindly help me.
Thanks,
Bidyut

Hello,
I would recommend you to read the Adobe forms blogs here:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/weblogs/topic/110
Of course you will need some scripting reference (even if you don´t think so yet):
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/lc_designer_scripting_basics/lc_designer_scripting_basics.pdf
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/es/FormCalc.pdf
Probably you will need a setup guide for ADS or a troubleshooting paper if the forms service would stop working. But you can find all these in the other threads. I am also not sure which version of LCD you´re running, note there is 8.1 available which is very much better than the previous versions.
Note: I feel the Java approach to forms is not that common here so you may find it difficult to find people here to help you. But I am sure there are some very nice guys working with Java here and hope you will be able to reach them.
Happy development
Regards Otto

Adobe Interactive forms & WebDynpro for java problem with IE7 and IE8

I have Interactive form ui-element in WebDynpro for java (ver. 7 SP 10) application. It works fine with IE6, but in IE7 (or IE8) it doesn't show that ui-element at all. We have tried to change IE7 security & advanced settings, but we have not made any progress. We have also tried to install/uninstall different Adobe reader versions etc.

I know a little more about the problem now. After viewing the XML source I change the property of the inputfield.
It was like this:
<field name="verdipers_felt" y="130.7001mm" x="180.1801mm" w="101.6004mm" h="44.4501mm" locale="no_NO" access="ReadOnly">
but i changed the access to be nonInteractive
<field name="verdipers_felt" y="130.7001mm" x="180.1801mm" w="101.6004mm" h="44.4501mm" locale="no_NO" access="nonInteractive">
now view2 shows the linebreak as in view1... Buut! when im going back to view1 from view2, the linebreaks gets converted into spaces
thats pretty wierd, aint it?

Adobe Interactive Forms displaying returned tables

can anyone help me display returned tables in adobe
interactive forms
i have an 2 adobe interactive forms, one for input
the other for output on 2 different views
the input form takes a few parameters, calls the
back end RFC and the
output form displays okay, but i just get the last
row from the table
i've tried binding 1 of the output table parameters to a drop down box and subform,the drop down box displays
one of the return parameters but will not drop down
whenever i include a subform i get a java error on
the output form with no display
i know there are several rows returned from testing the rfc inside abap workbench

Hi Dennis,
To display table in Adobe forms.
Follow these steps :
1. Insert one sub furm.
2. make its type to flow content and flow direction to Table in object property.
3. Insert another subform in above sub form and makes its type to flow content and flow direction to Table row.
4.In binding tab for this subform check the checkbox for "Repeat subform for each Data Item" and in min count you can specify at a time how much rows you want to display.
5. Now place your UI Elements for Data view into this sub form.
6. format these ui elements as you required.
Run application now u can see multiple rows in adobe forms, if you have multiple elements in your table node.
Let me know the status.

Bhavik

Adobe Interactive Form Beginner

Hi
I am trying to learn Adobe Interactive Form.
As a beginner I would like to see and execute certain basic forms in ESS/MSS scenarios.
Are there any documents that provides a step-by-step approach for creating and executing an Adobe Ineractive form
Thanks a lot
regards
Luke

Hi Luke,
You may have a look at https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/docs?rid=/webcontent/uuid/f5718380-0c01-0010-aebf-8786fb890302">sdn [original link is broken] [original link is broken] .
To view the forms u may use SFP transaction , provided - u have the required installations.(kindly refer the links).
To execute the forms you may search for fptest programms in se38.
To execute the ISR forms (PCR's in MSS), u may go to QISRSCENARIO transaction and select a PCR scenario like SPEG and click on the execute buttton next to the form name.
Hope it would meet your requirement. Do update about your findings.
Thanks and Regards,

How to binnding the data in the adobe interactive forms for making a table?

Hi, experts,
Function:
Through the sharing context node between adobe interactive form and a WDA for ABAP, display the data of the sflight_node in the ADOBE.
version:
Acrobat Reader 8.1.0
currently both of the SAP-ABA and SAP-BASIS SP level: 9
ADS : Successful.
The following is my action:
1.     Create a interface (Z_SFLIGHT_INTF) with a attribute node (SFLIGHT_NODE) that type is "sflight" using the transaction code "sfp"
2.     Create a form (Z_SFLIGHT_FORM) using the transaction code "sfp" with the interface Z_SFLIGHT_INTF.
3.     Trag the sflight_node in the Z_SFLIGHT_INTF to the form( Z_SFLIGHT_FORM).
4.     Open the layout tab in the form(Z_SFLIGHT_FORM), and create a table(table1). Click the table created just now, select the binding tab in the object tab, and in the Default Binding, select the SFLIGHT_NODE under the Z_SFLIGHT_FORM.
Problem 1:
Do you tell me whether is right for binding the context SFLIGHT_NODE using this way? If bind 3 context attributes in the sflight, how can I do it?
5.     Create a WDA for abap (ZZ_02_SFLIGHT), and create a view(MAINVIEW) using transaction code "se80" in the sap-gui with adobe interactive form. Set the templatesource(Z_SFLIGHT_FORM) in the adobe interactive form properties and saved, and then, datasource is "MAINVIEW_Z_SFLIGHT_FORM" automatically.
6.     But I only found the attribute SFLIGHT_NODE under the context node(Z_SFLIGHT_NODE), and I don't found the NODE ( SFLIGHT_NODE ) context in the context tab in the WDA for abap so that I don't set data to the context NODE (SFLIGHT_NODE).
Problem 2:
Do you tell me what can I do it so that I get the node SFLIGHT_NODE rather than attribute in the WDA for setting the data to the CONTEXT NODE (SFLIGHT_NODE)?
Thanks a lot.

Tao

Hi, experts,

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.

Authorizations for Adobe Interactive forms

Hi,
During Adobe configuration I encounter serious trouble in determining the needed authorizations. We implement basic Adobe forms initiated by managers.
Can anyone please instruct which SAP ECC roles are needed for executing Adobe Interactive forms?
Situation
We assigned the Adobe roles:
SAP_BC_CM_USER
SAP_ASR_MANAGER
The manager has also assigned authorizations to view PA objects for subordintes.
With extended authorizations I can start new process. However, when the process is started with same user but with the authorization mentioned above I receive the following error:
"No Adobe Form Is Assigned to the Scenario"

Hi Tom,
When you are familiar with authorizations in PFCG trabsaction you are finaliar with S_DEVELOP if not ask the authorization team on your project.
Basically this authorization object handles the read/write etc authorization related to devlopment objects. If you implement Adobe forms you will probably develop your own forms or at least copy the SAP forms to customer namespace.
For Adobe you will therefore have 2 custom development objects (1 for the form and 1 for the interface that is automatically generated). The end-user shoulf have at least READ access to these objects. If not the portal will trow an error on this.
To determine the tech names of the objects find the form and related interface in transaction SFP. These should be inserted in the object S_DEVELOP in the role for the end users.
You may want to consider to put the value Z* in the object which will give authorization for all the custom developed objects.
If you can't find the object reply again and i will send a screenshot.
Finally, make use of the splended transaction ST01!! It will make your life a lot more easy in portal! It traces all the authorizations needed and missing for any user you specify. After activating the trace and running a portal scenario the log will tell you want went OK and what not on an authorization object level.
Good luck,
Thomas

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 ).
endmethod.
