Adobe print forms - Intergration with Webdynpro ABAP

Hi
We are working on SAP Adobe print forms with Webdynpro ABAP. We are getting the PDF form's Hexadecimal content as a part of the FPFORMOUTPUT parameter when we execute the FM of the Form.
I tried to assign that to a context variable and assigned that to the PDFSource of the form and tried to generate the PDF. But is is showing a black page.
Can you please suggest a way if any to get this done.
Regards,
Srikanth.

You can use the print form directly. I mean the same way as you would use the WD/ online form. Provide the form name, the data source and stuff and the form should work. If that would be an interactive one, you would not be able to change any values if the form is based on DDIC dictionary, but since you want to use the printform, this is not your concern.

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.

Integration of Adobe Flex 3.0 with Webdynpro ABAP

Dear Experts,
This is the first time I am trying to work with Flex and trying to integrate with Webdynpro ABAP.
What I have done is made a 'Starter' project in Flex where I have just embedded an image , downloaded
1. WDIslandsLibrary30.swc
2. WDIslandsLibrary30-debug.swc
included them in the flex project and did Export Release Build.
What I want to do through this project is just to display the image and no data exchange is happening here between Flex and webdynpro.
Next I have made a webdynro project , included the Flash Island and imported the mime object.
When I activate my object and run the application I dont see the image , i can only see a blank window.
Please guide me where I am going wrong.
Regards,
Mamai.

Hi Banarji

Validating Input fields in Interactive Adobe Forms with Webdynpro ABAP

Dear Friends,
Am new to Interactive Adobe forms with Webdynpro Abap,
My scenario is, I have few Input fields, i need to handle the Messages when am not entering values in any of the Input Field,
and raise the message when i click on Save Button.
I have tried with setting the field as Required in Form itself, but i can't set the Field as Mandatory.
I don't know how to do, Please give some needed points, as well needed some Script/Formcalc code.
Thanks,
Pradeep.

Hi Pradeep,
You can validate the fields by using javascript/formcalc logic in onclick event of button.

Trouble with unprintable characters in Adobe Print form

Hi experts,
I'm trying to implement an adobe printform containing a PDF417 Barcode. To separate the datafields within the barcode, i have to use some unprinteable characters like hex 1E or 1C and so on.
I had the same issue in SMARTFORMS a few years ago, but was able to solve it in smartforms using /0x1E or /0x1C. Now I tried the same in Adobe Forms, but there comes an error in SM21 (syslog), telling me, that there was a problem during a Render operation. (Processing exception during a "Render" operation... A problem was encountered with the results: RenderResult array is null.)
I tried to use this coding as well:
data: zrecsep type c.
field-symbols: <f>.
label_data_barcode-recsep = '1E'. "recsep is type x
ASSIGN label_data_barcode-recsep to <f> CASTING TYPE C.
move <f> to zrecsep.
clear <f>.
After that, zrecsep contains '#', but in hex the correct value '1E'.
This coding works for all printable characters, such as hex 66 for 'f' or hex 5B for '[', but not for unrintable characters like hex 1E. In case of an unprintable character, a new syslog entry appears.
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Ralf

Hi, it's me again
Here is the answer of the SAP support:
unfortunatelly this control character is not supported by the XML
standard and the data in the SOAP request is delivered in XML format to
the ADS. Therefore such character cannot be used.
I can only suggest the following web page:
Link: [http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-controls#further]
I then asked another question:
Is there any other possibility to generate the pdf417 barcode and use
it inside the pdf form? For example: Is it possible, to generate the
barcode-image before calling the ADS-function and submit the address of
the image instead of the string for the barcode?
answer:
I understand that you don't want to print out the string value. But it
works as follows: the template (which contains the empty label
definition) and the data (which contains the value for the label) are
sent to ADS and on ADS side will the label generated.
Therefore it is also not possible with ADS that you create the label
befor sending it to ADS.
The only thing I can imagine that you create the label with an external
program and you insert it into the template as an image. But I don't
know if it is possible for you.
Conclusion: There is definitely no chance to use such characters in Adobe print forms due to the XML standard which is used to process the data inside the ADS.
In my case, i have to use SMARTFORMS technology to create the label with a pdf417 barcode containing these special characters.

Ralf

Internal table in adobe print forms

hi there,
in my WDA-application i use adobe print forms for output.
i use a table for displaying an internal abap-table.
in the formular-hierarchy it looks like this:
table2
--> line1
--> cell1
--> cell2
--> cell3
my problem is that i am a complete newbie in scripting in print forms.
here is what i want to do:
if cell1 = 'X' then the text in cell2 has to be bold or underlined.
Can someone provide me with a code-example either in javascript or formclac???
thx
David

thx for answering.
first i tried the following code:
data.T1.Tabelle2::ready:form - (JavaScript, Client) -
this.Zeile1.Zelle2.font.weight = "bold";
this.Zeile1.Zelle2.font.underline = "1";
the result is, that cell2 is bold and underlined but only the first row of the table. i want all cell2 in all rows bold and underlined.
then i tried this:
data.T1.Tabelle2::ready:form - (JavaScript, Client) -
if(this.Zeile1.Zelle1.rawValue == "01"
this.Zeile1.Zelle2.font.weight = "bold";
this.Zeile1.Zelle2.font.underline = "1";
nothing happens and i dont understand why. The visible value in Zelle1 is "01"!

ISR with WebDynpro ABAP

Hi Experts,
We are building a custom HR application to automate various HR processes
like New Hire, Termination, etc.. Due to certain internal issues we are
unable to use the standard business package for MSS (and hence PCR screens
with adobe forms). We have to create custom webdynpro abap screens for the
whole application. Now i would like to check if there is a possibility to
use the ISR framework with a custom webdynpro abap application.
I checked the transaction QISRSCENARIO but i could not find any option for
webydnpro abap in "Entry type for Web".
Have anyone of you tried such a scenario earlier with ISR's? Is there no way
that we can use webdynpro ABAP applications with ISRs? Or do we have any
work around for this.
Please send in your valuable comments.
Thanks in advance!!
Regards,
Gayathri

Hi
First, The ISR Scenarios are not for iviews. They are just a part of a view. We can use webdynpro ABAP with the ISR Scenarios. We need to embed these forms into our webdynpro ABAP views and code accorsdigly to get the data. There are some standard components that are provided by SAP to handle ISR Forms with Webdynpro. Check these.

Srikanth.

Installing ADOBE Print Forms

Hello All,
We have just completed technical upgrade of our SAP 4.7 system to ECC6.0 system. We want to use Adobe forms? We are having only ABAP Stack . We know that ADS needs Java Stack... Please help me out with the below questions.
1 .Implementing the Adobe Print Forms in the current lanscape by activating the Java Stack.
Q1. Implications of activating the Java stack only for Adobe Print Forms in the current lanscape for existing business functions.
Q2. Best option among installing ADD-IN (or) Stand Alone.
Q3. Is there any other special requirements to take into account when using this forms application?
2. Is it the best option to go for third party tool.
3.Thirdly: I assume that the graphical application (Gui add-on) is only required for
those who will be developing the forms and not for all users. Is that assumption
correct?
Please help me out with ur inputs.
Thanks in advance.

If you are considering adding a Java stack to your current ECC6.0 environment as an Add-in then you must consider:
a) Performance - If ADS is going to be heavily used do you have enough resources available ? Will it impact your current ERP systems ? The Java AS alone will consume a lot of resources.
b) Complexity - Do you regularly restore your systems to test environments ? ...can your backups and restores deal with the added complexity of a Java AS Add-in ?
From personal experience it's preferable to have at least 2 standalone ADS systems, 1 for DEV/TST and 1 for PROD.
You can find a guide and more information on the subject [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/37/504b8cbc2848a494facfdc09a359b1/frameset.htm].

Adobe print form - Purchase order MEDRUCK_PO

Hi,
Today I tried to make use of the MEDRUCK_PO adobe print form.
This form is defined by SAP. They also updated the print program, which is SAPFM06P with entry ADOBE_ENTRY_NEU.
The first problem I encountered was that the print program didn't find the PDF function module name. In stead it was looking for the FM of the smartform. I did a modification to this part so now the logic looks first at the type (Smartform, PDF of SapScript). This works but now I get an update termination.
This error says that ULINE is not recognised.
Did someone already this? I thinks its impossible to have the ULINE statement in a PDF form?!
Thanks
Bert

Hi,
I have sorted my problem out. If you do not have transaction SAPLWMC you can use sm30 on view V_TNAPR.
Now I am getting error messages when SAP generates the FM for the form. It is complaining about currency fields that do not exist in the HEADER stucture of the interface. Specifically it is complaining about WRF_POTB_CURRENCY-OTB_CURR which is referred to as the currency key for a couple of other fields. The structure WRF_POTB_CURRENCY is included in the table EKKO and EKKO is included in the MMPUR_PRINT_EKKO which is used for the HEADER structure for the interface (both MEDRUCK and MEDRUCK_PDF). Any ideas how to fix this? I am probably going to have to create a new structure(s) to get this working.

Dion

SOAP Runtime Exception: CSoapExceptionTransport when activ adobe Print Form

Hi
I am trying to activate an Adobe Print Form, but I am getting the error "SOAP Framework error: SOAP Runtime Exception: CSoapExceptionTransport: HTTP send failed with exception communication_failure(100.101)".
I have searched the forum and can see several thread stating that this is a ADS Configuration/Basis error, but when we try to execute the test report it works just fine, so I am guessing the ADS is working quite fine, or ?
Any help / hints to fix this error will be very appreciated
Regards
Morten Nielsen

A year back I have experienced the same behaviour of my forms which were very large (30 pages at design time). After some time (number of changes I guess) they stopped working. I had to start all over from the last backup (that was few days ago once, what is a lot of work lost).
Why I would now do is:
1) copy your form and try to activate the copy
2) create a new form with the same interface, create some dummy layout with one field and try to activate
3) do you have any older version of this form? Or you´ve created it just now and this is the first activation? if you have an older one, try that one
