Adobe Interactive Forms ZCI with special characters

Hi,
I hope somebody can help me with the problem described below.
We are using Adobe Interactive Forms ZCI (IF). On our IF we placed a Enumerated DDL from the Webdynpro Native tab. In the Visual Admin the number of entries for the DDL is 50 (default). The problem is that when the DDL consists of more than 50 entries a webdynpro pop-up screen is shown. In our DDL we have entries with special characters for example the apostrophe (ie. s). When I select one of these entries its not displayed correctly in the form. It is displayed as 's.
We are using Adobe reader 7.08. I also tested it with reader 8.1.0 and there the problem still occurs.
We are using NW04s SP12.
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Maarten.

Hello Saujanya,
This is not what i meant.
The problem isn't that not all entries are listed in the EVS, but that when the EVS is displayed and i select an entry with a "special" character like i.e.. a apostrophe (') the selected value isn't correctly displayed in the DDL as selected item. Say the i select from the EVS the value " 's " when the EVS is gone the value in the DDL is 's. This is not correct.
Hope this explanation will help.
Kind regards,
Maarten.

Is Adobe Interactive Forms compatible with SAP-PM in ECC 6 ??

Hi experts
My question : is Adobe Interactive Forms compatible with SAP-PM in ECC 6 ??
Thanks

Hello,
I can recommend you to search sap official documents for the standard-SAP-delivered-Adobe-forms and maybe there are some for the PM module. Would that help? Or you´ve learnt Adobe yourself? Regards, Otto

SAP Adobe Print forms - Issue with Chinese characters

Hi All,
We are using SAP Adobe Print forms to create a business document. This is designed using Adobe Life Cycle Designer (ALD). The form is displayed in Chinese language. The requirement is to display captions for few fields in bold.
When designing the form we have put the caption as BOLD but when the actual form is generated only few characters are displayed in bold.
I am not sure if this is problem with Adobe Reader or should there be any specific fonts to be installed in the ADS server?
Please let me know which all font packs needs to be installed in the local machine?

Hi Pat,
Thank you again for your reply.
Now, I changed the font in the designer to "Adobe Song Std L" and made the text as "BOLD". Then I get a message
The following is the Designer screen shot.
Questions:
1. Does "Adobe Song Std L" support characters in BOLD?
2. Do I need to install any of those BOLD fonts? If so, where can I get them?
3. I understand that the BOLD font needs to be installed in the local machine (where the design actually happens so that the font can be specified), the ADS Server (where the actual PDF is rendered) and also in the viewers local machine (where the PDF document is viewed). Is this correct?
4. Is the font a freeware or will there be any licensing issues?
Again, thank you for your responses till now.

Adobe Interactive Form Tables with Subtotals

Something as:

Key1 Key2 Key3       Value
           Total Key3 Value
Key1 Key2 Key4       Value
           Total Key4 Value
      Total Key2       Value
Total Key1             Value
Regards.

Even with upgrade I was still having problem, so what I did was...
I created new new interactive form.
I deleted old interactive form from the layout and recreated one.
When I went to adobe design form, I just imported old form (it automatically retained all settings)
and saved it and activiated it... and It worked.
It wasn't the best solution, but since I only had one interactive form, it didn't take that long to do it (probably total of 10 minutes.)

How to display Adobe Interactive Form from ABAP (not WDABAP)

I have created a WD ABAP application that creates an Adobe Interactive Form (ZCI) and submits it for workflow. All of the data on the form is saved in custom itables in the SAP System. The end-users are supposed to save a copy of the form at the last step in the workflow before they "Acknowledge" the task in UWL. Once the acknowledge takes place, they can no longer display the form in UWL. They want an ABAP program that will read the data from the various custom tables and display a "print" version of the form (not interactive).
I am calling FM 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' to get the function module for the form. I then call FM 'FP_JOB_OPEN' with the parameter IE_OUTPUTPARAMS-REQNEW set to ABAP_TRUE. The call to the form FM has the following EXPORTING parameters:
    EXPORTING
    /1BCDWB/DOCPARAMS   =
      /1BCDWB/DOCXML         =
I understand the /1BCDWB/DOCPARAMS but have no idea what needs to be done to for the /1BCDWB/DOCXML parameter. Can anyone offer any advice or assistance?

Joyce,
this is really simple - the reason you have that /1BCDWB/DOCXML is because you defined your form interface to have an XML based interface.
While this is great for ABAP Web Dynpro, because the XML is generated for you, this is NOT the case with regular ABAP.
You should choose ABAP Data Dictionary-Based Interface. You will then be able to add tables, structures and fields to your interface.
For instance, here's code from a program where I call the form in regular ABAP
data: ls_worksheet TYPE Zxxx_structure.
* Fill the ls_worksheet structure here.
* Call the generated function module
CALL FUNCTION ls_function
    EXPORTING
      /1bcdwb/docparams = fp_docparams
      worksheet          = ls_worksheet
    IMPORTING
      /1bcdwb/formoutput = ls_form_output
    EXCEPTIONS
      usage_error        = 1
      system_error       = 2
      internal_error     = 3
      OTHERS             = 4.
Notice I do not have the /1BCDWB/DOCXML Exporting parameter.
Just change your interface to a Data Dictionary Based, and add the tables/structures/fields to it.
then, go to your calling program, fill them, and pass the data through the Exporting parameter.

How to create Adobe Interactive Form in MDM

Iam new to MDM Technology, I want to create Adobe Interactive Form and show a sample demo.
Sample demo which should show adobe interactive form in mdm and how to integrate adobe interactive form in mdm and how to update th data in MDM
I have knowledge of creation of adobe form but how to integrate with mdm technology.

Hi,
There are couple of ways to integrate MDM with SAP Interactive Forms.
1. WebDynpro Java and MDM API (requires Portal)
2. MDM WebService (Portal not required)
Updating data in MDM using WebDynpro Java :
1. In Component Controller -> Fetch data from MDM using API and populate appropriate context structure
2. Map the View Controller and Comp Controller context.
3. Place Interactive Form UI element in view.(Keep the UI element in UpdatePDF mode, this can be done in properties window. Also increase the height and width property value)
4. The Interactive Form UI element is editable in Adobe Form Designer (7.1 / 8.0)
5. Design the form and bind the UI (TextFields/ Dropdowns) with the Context of View Controller.(Done in Binding tab of Object window)
6. Deploy and run the application.
The rendered application will contain an Adobe Interactive Form populated with MDM data.
Regards,
Suresh

Data Passing Problem with Adobe Interactive Forms

Hello all,
I am trying to create a Guided Procedure to implement an offline Adobe Interactive form. This form is based on the standard Requisition Request form used in MSS for e-Recruiting.
I've copied the standard form and updated the layout to ZCI using the appropriate transaction (not manually). After that, I've changed the Interface and layout. But to get the Form in the portal you need to have a .xpd file. Therefore, I've tested the form in preview mode, saved a copy as a PDF file and opened this copy in the standalone Adobe Lifecycler Designer. In the standalone version you are able to save the form as a PDF (not possible using transaction SFP).
My question 1 is if this is a wrong approach and there is a better way to retrieve the xpd file.
Next to that, I wrote a RFC function to retrieve data in the backend. This function is working and now I try to pass the data to the Form in the GP (using prefilling). The data is never passed, any points that I need to check there. The data used to export is a structure that contains a number of table types, because Adobe has issues with importing tables it seems. The form is working correctly in the backend.
Points will be rewarded for helpfull awnsers!
Kind regards & thanks in advance...

The problem is that when I click on the value help button, nothing happens.
Is any more additional steps required ?

Need help with Adobe Interactive Form Saving

Hi Gurus,
I need your help with Adobe Interactive form saving.
I have written the code in pre-save event to prompt a message when user didn't enter any value before saving. The form data should not be saved upon clicking save (Just prompt the message and exit form the form). Can u please advice me how to do this.
Regards,
Srini

see the link: http://forms.stefcameron.com/2008/04/
it says:
preSave: Failed validations will not prevent the form from being saved however Acrobat/Reader will issue a special warning message, after issuing the validation error message, to inform the user that the validations failed. Iu2019m guessing this is because the user may be saving the form to continue filling it at a later time so the save canu2019t be completely prevented.

Printing chinese characters on a Zebra printer using Adobe Interactive Form

We have created an Adobe Interactive Forms in SAP with some words in English and another one in simplified chinese. We have defined a Zebra printer in SPAD with the AZPL203 driver.

Has anyone faced the same problem?
Thanks a lot

ZCI for Adobe Interactive Forms in WebDynpro Java

Hi experts,
Can i use Zero Client Installation (ZCI) forms in WebDynpro Java.
I am not using ABAP at all & i want to avoid ACF installation on client side.
I am using :
SAP NWDS 2004s SP12
Adobe lifecycle Designer 7.1

Hello Virag Shinde,
ACF is supported with all the SPs across the Netweaver 7.0 stack and we will continue to support that except the fact that no further development will happen in that area. ZCI is the future of Interactive Forms solution by SAP.
Following two notes would be helpful to get started with ZCI:
1042394: Updating Interactive Form template with ZCI capability
1055911: Creating ZCI based interactive Forms in Web Dynpro for Java

Adobe Interactive Form Shows Blank (WD JAVA ZCI)

Hi Expert,
I have the following problem.
I developed an Adobe interactive Form embebed in WD java app with success in DEV environment, but i have an issue in QA environment.
When i run the Adobe Form logged in portal, the application runs fine, but, when i do unlogged, WD app run fine but Adobe Form shows blank
Any idea?

Hi Sean
In the Visual Admin of the server that runs the ADS check under server->services->destinations click on http folder. There should be something under that called FP_ICF_DATA_<sid of backend>. If there is not then create one in there.

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.

Need help with calculated fields in Adobe Interactive Forms

Hi Gurus,
I have an Adobe Interactive form in which i have radio buttons. Upon selecting any of the radio buttons, value in text box should be changed( Calculqated filedS). How i can achieve this?
Regards,
Srini
Moderator message: wrong forum, please post again in Adobe Interactive Forms, but always try yourself before asking.
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Jul 13, 2010 11:58 AM

Hi Tapan
No, it's working ,with one remark.
I've done a mistake, in the final formula. The logic remain the same! ;)
The calculation values for second column ( COL2 ) are 1,2,3 and not 0,1,2 as I wrote before and as for COL1 are so the formula is
=3*if(COL1="ABC",0,IF(COL1="DEF",1,2)+if(COL2="RST",1,IF(COL2="YYZ",2,3)
and not
=3*if(COL1="ABC",0,IF(COL1="DEF",1,2)+if(COL2="RST",0,IF(COL2="YYZ",1,2)
I created also a real example for you, with 2 dif calculation ways . First I created 2 calc_columns for COL1 and COL2 ( CALC_COL1+CALC_COL and after I added both these 2 column , and second way is to calculate directly) .
