Best practice in working with Adobe forms in multiple languages

We have to provide access to some Adobe Interactive Forms in both English and French, some of them from Web Dynpro application(s), some of them as callable objects from Guided Procedures.
1- We know for sure that we can have two copies of each form, one in English and one in French but that implies duplicating the FormCalc and Javascript code behind. 
2- Another way if to modify in javascript all labels, captions using some javascript i.e. If lang = "E" then "My label" else "Mon étiquette" . It would work but it is not very efficient.
Is someone here has experience with this type of situation and would be willing to share his experience with me?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Benoit,
For Adobe Forms in multiple language you can use include text solution also . Within this solution you need to add a language parameter in your interface and then retrieve the include text in the language value ( not current language ) . Personnaly i used a lot this solution with Smartforms text .
Also i used dictionnary text for text linked with data dictionnary element . For this there is standard function module in SAP .
Anothers way is in the SFP editor you can translate your form as in SAPSCRIPT .
Hope this help you
Regard.
PS : if necessary i can send you a sample form with smartform/Dictionnary text solution.

  • Best practices for working with large placed bitmap images?

    Hey all,
    I need some advice on the best way to approach building these files. I've been working on some banners that are very large: 3 x 7 feet.
    Each banner has a simple vector graphic treatment at the top and bottom (rectangle with a different colored rule on top, and vector logo) and a small amount of text, just a URL and a headline.The headline is type (not converted to outlines) and usually has some other effect applied to it, say a drop shadow or outer glow. Under these graphics is a full bleed image. The placed images need to be 150ppi at actual size, so they're honking big, sometimes up to 2GB. Once the layouts are approved, they have to go to a vendor for output.
    The Illustrator docs are really large, and I've read in other threads how to combat that (PDF compatibility, raster settings). But even still, does anyone have any insight into the best way to deal with these things? The dimensions are large, and then the images are large, and it just makes for lots of looking at the spinning ball of death...
    If it were me, I'd build them in InDe, but the vector graphics need to be edited for each one, and I so don't like to do that in InDe unless forced. To me, it's still ultimately a page layout app, not a drawing app. (Old school here.)
    FYI, our machines are all MBPs with 8G ram and the latest Intel Core 2 Duo chips, 2.66 and 2.8GHz. If we keep the files local (as opposed to working on the server) it should be fairly zippy... No?
    Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

    You can get into memory trouble with very large placed pdf files. Tiffs too.
    This has to do with the preview, which contains much more information than you need for working with.
    On the other hand if you place EPSs and take care not to turn on overprint preview you can get away with huge files.
    If you do turn on overprint preview your machine will slow down a lot and the file may become totally unmanageable.
    Compare this with to InDesign where you can control the quality of the preview. A hi-res preview will slow you down and most often you don't need it anyway.
    I was working (in Illie) the other day on much larger files than you mention – displays for whole walls – and had some considerable trouble until I reverted to the old EPS format. They say it's dying but it ain't dead yet .

  • System hangs while working with Adobe forms in Eclipse

    Hi,
    I am new to SAP ABAP and ABAP in Eclipse. So far we were using SAP GUI, but now we are moving towards Eclipse for ABAP.
    I am creating adobe forms  in eclipse using Open with SAP GUI option. I am able to create and execute in eclipse  but it always hangs when I try opening the layout and then closing it. Once it hangs, I need to kill Eclipse process from task manager. Can anybody help me?
    Thanks in advance.

  • What are some best practices to work with Compressor 3 droplets and new Compressor 4?

    I have purchased Final Cut Pro X / Motion 5 and Compressor 4 from the App Store. My installation of Final Cut Studio 6.0.6 / Motion 3.0.2 / Compressor 3.0.5 has been moved to a new folder "Final Cut Studio". I have started the old version of Motion first as advised in this document.
    I just tried to use my old Compressor 3 droplets and i am able to convert as before.
    I am wondering what I should do now and what the best practices are
    Use the old droplets and stick with Compressor 3?
    Import the droplets to a new location to be able to use them in Compressor 4?
    Recreate new droplets with similar settings within Compressor 4?
    What are the changes I can expect from using Compressor 4?

    I've found that it helps to meet with each person in your new org that you'll be supporting. Start with the Eloqua Admin(s) and ask for an overview of standard reports, naming conventions, folder structure, processes, etc. Make sure to do the same with sales operations, too. If you're moving into an admin role ask for the data dictionary so you can study it to understand how the data maps from front end CMS to MAP to CRM.
    The next phase would be to meet with field marketing and campaign managers. Ask them about current projects, future projects and how you'll support their success with Eloqua.
    And last but certainly not least - process documentation! Ask for all of those things and you'll be rocking and rolling in no time.
    Good luck in your new role!

  • Localization: Best practice suggestions Apps with mixed UI and Content languages?

    I am trying to write a simple Universal app that can be easily localized to different UI languages. But the app also needs to display content that is determined by user settings. For example I would like the app UI to display in the users region (English,
    Russian, etc.) while at the same time having fields on the page whose strings are coming from other resources (Latin "la"? , Spanish, etc.).
    The samples are pretty good about how to setup resources with respect to the UI ( e.g. Strings/en-us/Resources.resw ) but not what to do if you want to also be able to draw strings from a different language. When the words in the content fields show in Latin
    I don't want the UI to also be in Latin.
    Suggestions on best way to do this?
    Thanks,

    Hi Tom19,
    I did not receive the email notification on my mailbox for your reply, that's weird. Sorry for the late response.
    Basically we have the best practice documentation for you:

  • Adobe Form Calling WebService Doesnu00B4t work with Adobe Reader 7

    Hi experts,
    We have created and adobe form that simulates a PM Notification in which the user, without logging into SAP, through an RFC and WebServices can create the notification into SAP.
    This process only works with Adobe Reader 9 and not with Adobe Reader 7.
    Can anyone tell me what main difference/component/functionality does Adobe Reader 9 have that Adobe Reader 7 doesn´t?
    When I call the Webservice through the form in Adobe 7, a pop-up message appears that says:
    "Error attempting to read from file.
    http://desaecc6.codelco.cl:8001/sap/bc/rfc/sap/zi_aviso_adobe_pm12/222/zi_aviso_adobe_pm12/zi_aviso_adobe_pm12"
    Any ideas why this error ocurrs only in Adobe Reader 7?
    Thanks and best regards,
    Fernando Montenegro

    Hello,
    I cannot tell what are the exact differencies between the version. But I can tell you should always use (at least try to use the newest Reader). I guess you´re not the only developer on Forms, so there are possibly more people depending on the version of the client browser/ Reader. There is a solution for this problem, which does not ask anything from you, only the user.
    You can easily test the Reader version through JS coding and act based on the result. I use this like this "if your Reader is lower than 8.1" then "message popup = We are sorry, your Reader is too old, this form won´t work for you. Please upgrade first.". It takes like 5 minutes (10 for lame users at max) to update his Reader.
    Maybe you should this about such a test, if the user passes the test, his application won´t have any problem, if not there is no guarantee. And YOU have no problem, nobody tells you "hey sir, your form is not working, I´m not gonna pay you".

  • Error while Connecting report Best Practices v1.31 with SAP

    Hello experts,
    I'm facing an issue while trying to connect some of my reports from Best Practices for BI with SAP.
    It only happens when it's about info sets, the other ones that are with SAP tables go smoothly without a problem.
    The most interesting is I have already one of the reports connected to SAP info sets.
    I have already verified the document of steps of creation of additional database that comes with BP pack. They seem ok.
    Here goes what Crystal Reports throws to me after changing the data source to SAP:
    For report "GL Statement" one of the Financial Analysis one which uses InfoSet: /KYK/IS_FIGL_I3:
    - Failed to retrieve data from the database; - click ok then...
    - Database connector error: It wasn't indicated any variant for exercise (something like this after translating) - click ok then
    - Database connector error: RFC_INVALID_HANDLE
    For report "Cost Analysis: Planned vs. Actual Order Costs" one of the Financial Analysis one which uses InfoSet: ZBPBI131_INFO_ODVR and ZBPBI131_INFO_COAS; and also the Query CO_OM_OP_20_Q1:
    - Failed to retrieve data from the database; - click ok then...
    - Database connector error: check class for selections raised errors - click ok then
    - Database connector error: RFC_INVALID_HANDLE
    Obs.: Those "Z" infosets are already created in SAP environment.
    The one that works fine is one of the Purchasing Analysis reports:
    - Purchasing Group Analysis -> InfoSet: /KYK/IS_MCE1
    I'm kind of lost to solve this, because I'm not sure if it can be in the SAP JCO or some parameter that was done wrongly in SAP and I have already check possible solutions for both.
    Thanks in advance,
    Carlos Henrique Matos da Silva - SAP BusinessObjects BI - Brazil.

    I re-checked step 3.2.3 - Uploading Crystal User Roles (transaction PFCG) - of the manual where it talks about CRYSTAL_ENTITLEMENT and CRYSTAL_DESIGNER roles, I noticed in the Authorizations tab that the status was saying it hadn't been generated and I had a yellow sign, so then that was what I did (I generated) as it says in the manual.
    Both statuses are now saying "Authorization profile is generated" and the sign is now green on the tab.
    I had another issue in the User tab (it was yellow as Authorizations one before generating)....all I needed to do to change to green was comparing user (User Comparison button).
    After all that, I tried once more to refresh the Crystal report and I still have the error messages being thrown.
    There's one more issue in one of the tabs of PFCG transaction, it is on the Menu one where it is with a red sign, but there's nothing talking about it in the manual. I just have a folder called "Role menu" without anything in it.
    Can it be the reason why I'm facing errors when connecting the report to SAP infoSets? (remember one of my reports which is connected to an infoSet works good)
    Thanks in advance,

  • Best Practice For Working on Composite In Team

    Hello,
    I would like to know what is the best practice for working on a single composite by mutiple members in a team.
    We have a core services module wherein a single composite contains many services. So, to complete in time, we would like many members to work on it simultaneously.
    In such scenarios, if some one adds a new adapter or some other services, composite.xml changes.
    Saving it would override other member's changes. Also, it is not possible to apply lock simultaneously on the same file through some version control mechanism.
    Please let us know what should be the best practice in such scenarios.
    Thanks-
    Ashish

    You can very well use a version control software with JDev. You may refer -
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/soa/jimerson-config-soa-355383.html
    I think without version control mechanism (like subversion) it won't be easy to work in a multi-developer environment. If you really don't have a source and version control mechanism then manual merging will be required which may be error prone and time & effort consuming.

  • PCR with Adobe forms for MySAP ERP2004 / NW04 SP9

    Hi all,
    We would like to use the MSS PCR functionality with Adobe forms. Since we are using NW04 SP9 and MySAP ERP2004 (ECC5.0), we cannot use the Adobe forms yet.
    SAP said this functionality will be released today (15/11).
    I am wondering what we need to upgrade to get this working. Is this a bug in ECC, in Adobe Forms, WebDynpro (BP for MSS) or a PCUI_GP bug?
    regards,
    Noel

    Hi Heike,
    Good to know these forms are only available in German and English. I assume we can translate them ourselves and use them.
    We tried to get the 2 scenarios working, but every time we run into a problem: "Template could not be read from the backend". For this we already created a customer message, but it takes quite a while for an answer. Not strange, since it is new and hot technology
    We have 2 servers now: One is the application server (with WebDynpro, R/3 backend, ECC50) - Java and ABAP stack installed (AIX).
    On the other server we have running the portal and Adobe Document Server. This runs only on a Java stack (NT).
    In the Adobe Configuration Guide we ran against a problem configuring the DestinationService (Basic authentication on the ABAP side). On the Java/ABAP server (server 1) we need to configure the com.adobe/AdobeDocumentService classes (security). Since Adobe is installed on server 2 (without the ABAP stack), we cannot configure the basic authentication properly (if we follow the guideliness).

    Noel

  • Best practices of integration with SAP Netweaver

    Hi All,
    I'm totally new to SAP Netweaver but I have a task to integrate our system with SAP ECC (R/3). We are using SAP Netweaver 6.4. The goal of integration is to provide for user list of available modules (Sales and Distribution, Human Resource, Payroll, etc) and when user selected for example Payroll we need to display list of available BAPIs. In general weare able to create Enterprise Web Service for some BAPI and consume it. But the problem is that everytime when administrator changed BAPI process (for example added new field to Business Object) we need to regenerate wsdl and change our client application. Does Netweaver provide some Web Service which can retrieve list of applications, list of BAPI processes and can retrieve meta data of some BAPI? Something like Partner Web Service interface?
    We are looking for best practices of integration with SAP Netweaver. We are trying to develop something like adapter which will be able to pull data into SAP ECC system is there any generic way to develop this adapter?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Yura.

    Hi Yura !!
    As far as I know, this is not possible yet. Using SAP Netweaver XI/PI, although it adds value to the webservice scenario exposing BAPI functionality, it also needs to maintain a refreshed version of the BAPI definition in its repository. Depeding the complexity of the change in the BAPI structure, maybe PI may allow you to continue working without changes.
    Maybe a good practice is not to make too much changes to a production BAPI, instead make a review in development environment, and once it is stable, use it in production. Other good practice is to keep older versions of BAPIs and add the changed ones as new versions to have back-compatibility

  • Best laptop for working with after effects

    I need a laptop for work with adobe after effects and some others. Anyway I need laptop wich will not cost more than 1400€ and which will have inside intel core i7, 4 GB of memory or more and Nividia graphic card. Somthing more pls dont say the apple is the best beacuse i dont like it very much.
    Thanks.

    4GB is a rather small amount of RAM for working with After Effects. If you can get a computer with more RAM, I recommend doing so.
    For After Effects CS5, the graphics card (GPU) doesn't matter as much as RAM and CPUs, so focus on RAM and CPUs first.
    In general, a laptop is not going to give you the same performance as a desktop computer of the same price. If you need a laptop, fine; but don't be surprised when performance isn't as good as you might like.
