Hi Girish,
Is your problem solved? Because I am also facing the same problem. Could you please tell me what you did to see the PDF output.

Adobe interactive form with ABAP workbench

Hi Experts,
Need to know, can we run Online Adobe interactive form using ABAP ( Not webdynpro ABAP or Java) workbench? If so how? and if possible please provide the driver program which run the form & after filling it, it updates SAP data online.
Regards,
Nik

That is possible by using FLM tool. You need to buy it separately. Its an ARCH product. Or if its HR forms then you can use HCM proceess & forms.

Problem with interactive forms using ABAP

Hi all,
    I am trying to create an interactive adobe form using ABAP in ECC 6.0. But while execute the form, it is creating an error saying that
Exception       SYSTEM_ERROR
Message ID:          FPRUNX                     Message number:           001
Message:
ADS: The render error log file has been written to D:\u(200101)
But i was able to create adobe interactive form using WebDynpro and its working perfectly. But the problem is while using ABAP method.
Do anyone have an idea why its happening?
Thanks and Regards,
Raja Sekhar

Hi
Interactive Forms based on Adobe software is SAP's new solution for forms development. Its first release has the focus on interactive use of forms. High-volume printing is supported in principle, but - being a new solution - the performance has not yet reached the same level as Smart Forms or SAPscript, two established solutions that had years to grow. Interactive Forms is the only solution that will continue to be enhanced with new features, while SAPscript and Smart Forms will be supported without limitations.
When (or if) to move to Interactive Forms depends on your requirements. For interactive forms usage, i.e. the new functions, you have no choice, as the existing solutions don't support it. High-volume print scenarios need to be carefully analyzed to see whether your concrete requirements can be met at this point.
However, it is possible to move to Smart Forms and design your forms in such a way that a migration at any point in the future would be but a small step. Smart Forms offers from Web AS 6.40 a migration wizard to Interactive Forms. Technically, everything can be migrated, but we recommend against things like ABAP program nodes, for example.
You are not forced to ever go to Interactive Forms if you don't want to. It really depends on whether your client needs any of the new features in Interactive Forms. Also, if they are currently working with JetForms, they could enquire with Adobe directly what migration path they offer to the joint solution.
It is impossible to make a blanket statement on what needs to be done in each of the applications using a form for output. Despite the same underlying technology, forms handling has always been a decision for each SAP application: Some do it through customizing, some through coding, some in yet anither way.
What I CAN say from a technology pespective is that all applications are in the process of creating their forms based on Interactive Forms so that by 2007 pretty much all SAP forms will be PDF-based. Obviously, each application does it within the framework of their application - but they all use Interactive Forms.
By the way, be aware that in ERP 2004 this forms solution is subject to a limitation for high-volume printing scenarios as we cannot ensure that ALL customers will be content with the performance in ALL scenarios with this release. (see SAP Note 863893).
To get an overview idea about Adobe forms ,
Using SFP , first you need to create a interface . in interface you can declare the import and export parameters and also the declaration part, coding etc : This is nothing but similar to Function module interface.
And now we have to create the Form which is interactive. Create the form and enter the interface name which you have created in first step, so that the parameters , declarations of fields etc : will be copied and available in the form layout. So that you can drag and drop these declared fields ( dclared fields of interface ) to the layout.
Create the context and layout in the form.
The layout generated can be previewed and saved as PDF output.
Now we need to integrate the driver program and the PDF form to get the final output as per the requirement.
On activating and executing the form you will get a function module name just similar to smartforms.
The driver program needs to call this FM.
Refer to the below sample code :
DATA : is_customer TYPE scustom.
DATA : it_bookings TYPE ty_bookings.
DATA : iv_image_url TYPE string.
DATA : iv_sending_country TYPE adrc-country.
DATA : it_sums TYPE TABLE OF flprice_t.
DATA : docparams TYPE sfpdocparams.
DATA : formoutput TYPE fpformoutput.
DATA : outputparams TYPE sfpoutputparams.
PARAMETERS : pa_cusid TYPE scustom-id.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM scustom INTO is_customer
WHERE id = pa_cusid.
SELECT * FROM sbook
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_bookings
WHERE customid = pa_cusid.

I am able to get f4 help in online interactive form using value help dropdown, first time if i click the dropdown button it is showing the popup, if i click second time it is not showing the popup.
Thanks & Regards,
Krishna

Hi,
1. I you are woking from the Web Dynpro for ABAP then after binding the Context variable in the view, and in the Adobe Layout Designer from the Library goto WebDynpro Native Tab and drag and drop the Value Help and for this automatically JavaScript is being generated, go that script and edit the line
Var fieldname = "yourfieldname";
Note: dont forget to link the context attribute to search help. ie. in the context properties of the attributes select the input help mode as dictionary search help and specify the name of the search help present in data dictionary.
And now go to Utilities and click on u201CInsert Web Dynpro Scriptu201D.
Also make sure that you specify the Layout as ZCI Layout in the Propertioes of the Adobe Form.
2. Only the Submit button , the Enumerated Drop-Down List as well as the Value help button from the Web Dynpro Native library of Adobe LiveCycle Designer are supported. Check SAP Note: 1098009

Missing code in "Offline Interactive Forms Using ABAP" SDN document?

I am trying to build a sample offline form scenario using the code published in the SDN document "Offline Interactive Forms Using ABAP" written by Vani Krishnamoorthy. Everything works perfectly up to the point where we instantiate the PDF Object to extract the data from the form. Then there seems to be some code missing just before we call the method SET_DOCUMENT. We are supposed to export the parameter pdfdata = pdf_data , but I cannot find where pdf_data variable is declared or assigned. Also, an ENDTRY statement seems to be missing.
Has anyone had success with Vani's offline scenario, and if so, do you know what code is missing, if any?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I found the missing code in sample program FP_PDF_TEST_06. Everything works well now.
The PDF file that was uploaded from the PC first needs to be converted from binary to XSTRING before you can create the PDF object:
data: lt_rawtab type standard table of raw255,
        g_pdfdata type xstring,
        l_len type i.
call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
    exporting
      filename                = l_filename
      filetype                = 'BIN'
    importing
      filelength              = l_len
    changing
      data_tab                = lt_rawtab   "PDF file (binary)
    exceptions
      file_open_error         = 1
      file_read_error         = 2
      etc. etc.
Convert binary tab to Xstring
call function 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING'
    exporting
      input_length = l_len
    importing
      buffer       = g_pdfdata              "converted to Xstring
    tables
      binary_tab   = lt_rawtab
    exceptions
      failed       = 1
      others       = 2.
if sy-subrc is not initial.
    message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
               with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
endif.
Instantiate PDF object..
data: l_fp     type ref to if_fp value is initial,
        l_pdfobj type ref to if_fp_pdf_object value is initial,
        l_fpex    type ref to cx_fp_runtime,
        l_type    type string,
        l_errmsg type string.
Get FP reference
l_fp = cl_fp=>get_reference( ).
Handle exceptions with Try..Endtry
try.
Create PDF Object using destination 'ADS' (<--this is how it is
defined in SM59)
      l_pdfobj = l_fp->create_pdf_object( connection = 'ADS' ).
Set document
      l_pdfobj->set_document( exporting pdfdata = g_pdfdata ).
Tell PDF object to extract data
      l_pdfobj->set_extractdata( ).
Execute the call to ADS
      l_pdfobj->execute( ).
    catch cx_fp_runtime_internal
          cx_fp_runtime_system
          cx_fp_runtime_usage into l_fpex.
      case cl_abap_classdescr=>get_class_name( l_fpex ).
        when '\CLASS=CX_FP_RUNTIME_INTERNAL'.
          l_type = 'INTERNAL ERROR'.
        when '\CLASS=CX_FP_RUNTIME_SYSTEM'.
          l_type = 'SYSTEM ERROR'.
        when '\CLASS=CX_FP_RUNTIME_USAGE'.
          l_type = 'USAGE ERROR'.
      endcase.

Adobe Interactive Forms using Web AS ABAP Only

Hi,
After setting up ADS, we want to publish an adobe interactive form to a website. We want this form to be truly interactive, meaning users can enter data through it with validations. My question is, is it possible to develop this form using ABAP only and deploy it in WEB AS ABAP? Or do we really need to use NWDS and WEB AS JAVA for this?
I saw somewhere that ABAP can only provide printforms (static?) while JAVA (in NWDS) can generate interactive forms.
Please help.
Thanks and Regards,
Tyken

Hi,
For this you must define the form's interface based on XML and not DDIC ...

DATA lo_nd_datanode TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lo_el_datanode TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA ls_datanode TYPE wd_this->elements_datanode.
navigate from <CONTEXT> to <ROOT> via lead selection
lo_nd_root = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_root ).
navigate from <ROOT> to <DATANODE> via lead selection
lo_nd_datanode = lo_nd_root->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_datanode ).
get element via lead selection
lo_el_datanode = lo_nd_datanode->get_element( ).
ls_datanode[] = lt_dna_value[].
CALL METHOD lo_nd_datanode->bind_table
EXPORTING
    new_items            = ls_datanode

Migrating PCR frontend-JSP forms to Adobe interactive forms-WD Abap Comp

Hi All,
We are currently on Netweaver 7.0 & ECC 6.0 and ESS - MSS Business Package 50.4. We are using JSP Forms on portal front for Personnel Change Requests (PCR's ) where in all the scenarios in the backend are heavily customized with good amount of usage of Javascripts. For certain scenarios, where in a huge amount of information is fetched from ECC 6.0 backend system, JSP are performing really bad and the total time taken to display the form is actually causing a lot of irritation to the end user.
We are planning to propose an upgrade to SAP adobe interactive forms. The prerequisite is that the business wants to reuse all the customized scenarios without any changes and just want to move towards better front end forms.
My questions are:
1. Please list benefits of SAP Adobe interactive forms - ABAP component over JSP forms (performance wise)
2. Issues with SAP Adobe Interactive forms?
3. Since Javascripts do not work in Webdynpro ABAP. How can we implement those front end checks and validations.
3. Any other options available for UI that can be suggested?
All suggestions are welcome. Quick response is appreciated.
Thanks a lot for your time and help.
Best Regards,
Anupama

Is your performance issue with the Javascript with JSP pages? or the Java script you are using within the Adobe form in your WDJ custom application using Adobe form? I have worked on PCR's using ISR framework old school it used to call as PCR and now HCM Processes and form, Developed PCR's using WDJ also integrated workflow with the WDJ PCR for approval(we never had any performance issue) infact ISR frame work was kind of slow compare to custom WDJ solution and less flexible for a developer to develop.
I have also worked created WDA custom application for PCR's , WDA is definitely better when you compare it with WDJ but I have not seen much performance issue with WDJ atleast on custom PCR solutions.
I don't have any case study to share with you, can you please tell what kind of PCR's your client is using and what kind of performance issue you are experiencing and where and why you guys are using Javascript.

Interactive forms using ABAP

Hi ,
Is it possible to design Interactive forms in ABAP. I have a requirement for a client using R/3, there is no Portal involved so WebDynpro ABAP is not an option.In this case I am wondering is this a possibility using general ABAP.
Cheers
S Kumar

Hi S Kumar,
You can design the Adobe Interactive Forms without WebDynpro or Portal, This can be done by writing a driver program similar to driver program where we write for SmartForm. Or you can use the WebServices to design your forms. But some functionalities may not be satisfied as in the WebDynpro or Portal.

Multi language support for Adobe interactive form in ABAP WD

Hi ,
I translated the adobe form in multi language in SE63, If i execute the form with passing LANGU(language) parameter, form supports for multi language.
I created XML schema based interface and if a execute interactive form in ABAP Webdynpro, i am unable to pass launguage(LANGU) parameter. because InteractiveForm element property does not have language key parameter.
Apart from creating different language dependent forms, is there any alternate way we can pass the LANGU key parameter to Interactive Adobe form???

Hi,
As far as i know when you use Adobe forms in a WD4A application, language is your "web" connection language.
You can have a look at standard class CL_WD_ADOBE_SERVICE, it's used when generating an adobe forms from WD4A. , more particulary look at method DETERMINE_DOCPARAMS.

Interactive form using ABAP workbench

Hi All,
I have develped Print forms using ABAP workbench using SFP transaction.
I am really confused with the terms Print forms and Interactive forms..
Actually I was able to make my Print form which I have created using SFP transaction, Interactive by giving the appropriate form parameter(fillable).
But I have read some SDN article in which it says that Interactive forms can only be created in Webdynpro environment.. (Either ABAP webdynpro or Java Webdynpro)..
In the design time how we will know that the form is interactive or not?
Please let me know ur thoughts on this..
Regards,
Sreejith A P

HI Sree jith,
At Design Time, we design a form using the Adobe Designer tool, which allows to to create forms with input fields etc, which can be filled by the user, if the runtime supports it.
When you design a form via transaction SFP,y ou are essentially designing the form and adding the elements, but, whether the form would be interective or not would be defined by the run time environment.
If you add an input field to the form, and execute it via an ABAP report, then the form would not be inteactive but, if you use the same form in WebDynpro, then the form could be interactive.
Designing the form via SFP or via the WebDynpro Interactive form element, both, inherently call the Adobe Designer, but executing the form via WebDynpro Environment would supoprt its interactove nature whereas via an ABAP report, it would not, although the tool allowed you to add the UI element.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Siddhartha

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.
Sid

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.

Simi A M
