Business Graphics in Adobe Form

Hi Gurus,
One of our client has requirement of showing business graphics like Graphs, pie charts on the Adobe form. Is it possible in Adobe forms to show these graphics. If yes, then can anyone please send me some links, documents.
With Regards,
Amit

Amit,
I don't think Adobe forms has the capability to display the Business graphics. I don't see any control for displaying the business graphics in library palette.
Thanks!

Static Business Graphic to Adobe Form

There is a View with an static BGR binding to a node.
At runtime I can see the graphic.
When I press a button is launched another view with an Interactive Form.
So, my question is:
Is there a method (or something) that let me create the XSTRING wiht the graphic automatically, that I will use in the node binding to the Interactive Form?
Best regards,

Hello Gastón,
I think with Netweaver 7.02/7.20, business Graphics UI element is provided with a property called imageData. Using this property you receive the image of the chart rendered, in a XSTRING format. this can be passed on to interactive form to display the chart.
Might be we can wait for other experts to comment on this.

How to upload Graphic in ADobe forms

Hi Guru,
I have a requirment to upload the Graphic to Adobe forms .
How to I use the logo(Graphics) which is stored in the application server
I have 2 sales organizations which has different "LOGOs" used. Same Adobe form is used to print Invoices for both sales organizations. When I print Invoice for a particular sales organization, I need to print its "LOGO" and when same adobe form prints the invoice for another sales organization it should print its logo.
How can i control the above situation dynamically ?
Please help.
thanks ,

Hi Raju,
Images in a Adobe form can be embeded in 2 different ways.
Approach1: This is static approach form would have only one image at all times which is refered by the file name (alter natively if you can manage to place different images with the same file name at runtime then this can be dynamic)
1) have the image located in the application server path.
2) Have the Emage lement in Adobe form pass the file location path to the element source.
3) At run time it will fetch the file from the location.
Approach2: (I am not a core abaper so not sure how its done but we have done it for a mobile application)
1) using your abap code read the image from the location (find out how to pick the org specific's image).
2) convert the image into byte stream.
3) pass on this byte stream to the form via a string field.
4) in the form have the image field.
5) this time here instead of selecting the path, bind it to this particular field from the data source.
i think there are coup[le of blogs here @ this, please search it ..

Sai

Business Graphics and Adobe Interactive Form

Hi Friends,
I generated charts in webdynpro using business graphics.
Now, I need put this charts into a Adobe Form using Interactive Form Component. Is that possible? How can I do this?
Thanks,
Cristian

Hi Cristian Teles,
YOu can use the Business graphics even in Adobe forms. In the Adobe Designer you can find the various graphical UI elements. Please go through them.
Structure of the Chart Designer
The Chart Designer is divided into three areas:
·        The graphics preview
The area on the left-hand side in which the business graphic is displayed. This area is used to display a preview of the Customizing settings. Changes to these settings are displayed immediately in the graphics preview, which lets you implement necessary changes in the business graphic display instantly.
·        Overview of graphical elements
The area in the upper-right side that contains the list of graphical elements. For a detailed description and list of all graphical elements, see SAP NetWeaver ® Application Platform (SAP Web Application Server) ® ABAP Technology ® UI Technology ® Frontend Services.
Each graphical element, in turn, has one or more properties. To change a property, select a chart element either from the chart window or by name in the chart element window. The properties of the chart element are then displayed, and you can edit and change the values of the properties.
·        The property list
The properties are listed in the area below the graphical elements. To change a property, select a graphical element either with the mouse in the graphics preview or from the overview of graphical elements. The properties of the graphical element are then displayed. You can change the values of these properties.

Inserting a Graphic in adobe form using SFP

Hi all,
 by using Form & Interface in SFP Transaction
 i want to display a logo(image) not by using url(not images from hard disk), i want to use the image which is present in the sap (ie., i want to use the images in se78). How can i achieve this????
I used the following procedure, even though i couldnt achieve:
1. Select an existing node in the context, under which you want to create a graphic node.
 2. In the context menu of the node, choose Create ® Graphic.
 3. The system creates a graphic node under the selected node. Enter the required data about the graphic in the Properties window under the form context.
You can choose from the following graphic types:
○ Graphic Reference
Choose this option if you want to insert a graphic from its address (URL). The URL can point to a Web server or to a file system. You must be able to access the graphic at the specified URL. This means that you may have to configure appropriate access rights for Adobe Document Services (ADS). Graphics stored in MIME Repository cannot be accessed through a URL. To use these graphics, choose Graphic Content.
○ Graphic Content
Choose this option if you want to specify graphic content using a field. This field contains all image information at runtime. The graphics must be in MIME Repository.
 4. The entries you need to make depend on whether you chose Graphic Reference or Graphic Content in the last step.
○ If you have chosen Graphic Reference as your graphic type, enter the URL of the graphic.
Note
In Adobe LiveCycle Designer, you can choose whether the system gets the graphic at runtime, or whether the graphic is embedded in the form. For more information, see the online help in Adobe Designer.
○ If you have specified Graphic Content as your graphic type, you must do the following:
■ In Field, enter a field name from the interface. The field must have the type STRING (graphical data is Base64-coded) or XSTRING (for binary-coded graphical data).
■ Enter a valid MIME type, such as u2019image/bmpu2019.
 5. Under Conditions, enter the prerequisites that need to be met before the graphic node is processed at runtime and displayed in the form.
I cant get the image....................................
Please provide the step by step details.....
Thanks,
Vichu

Printing graphics in Adobe forms

Hi,
I have a requirement in adobe forms where I need to print graphics stored as standard text (SO10) or on document server (SE78) by calling them inside a long text.
The client was doing this in legacy with SAP script and it was working fine but adobe form does not support this feature (as far as I know)
Is there any way we can print graphics by calling them inside long text?
Any inputs will be appreciated.
Regards.

Hi,
To print the graphic from SE78 in Adobe form you need to do the following steps.
1. Convert the graphic into graphic_content(XSTRING) using
call method cl_ssf_xsf_utilities=>get_bds_graphic_as_bmp
2. Create Graphic node in Context in Adobe form with the properties
Grphic type as graphic content
Field as graphic_content(XSTRING)
MIME type as 'BMP'
3. In layout create an image field and bind it to graphic node created in context.
Regards,
Raju.

Logo does not appear on the printed adobe form

Per the solution provided by Tejaswini
Inserting a Graphic in adobe form using SFP
I am able to upload the logo avaialble at SE78.
I did the binding etc as per the thread above.
But the print preview or print of the Form does not show the Logo.
Does this have anything to do with the printer?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Ven

Are you referring to Adobe from?
I am not able to see any SAP Logo in the library.
Can you please elaborate a little more?
Thanks,
Ven
SAP does not seem to support SE78 texts.
Closing the thread.
Thanks

How to use SAP Business Workflow along with Interactive Adobe Form

Hi Experts,
I am working on SAP Business Workflow since last couple of years.
Now i have got a new Project where client wants to use SAP Business Workflow along with Interactive Adobe Form.
I am new to Interactive Adobe Form and Portal thing and i really dont know from where to start.
We have one central system and 2 local systems. when we do create a Material document using adobe form workflow should trigger and notification should go to group of users who can approve or reject it, once they approve it document gets created in central system and replicated to 2 local system through ALE.
In the Local system they do extend the document to different plants, again workflow triggers and notification will go to Managers inbox for the approval.
Once the final approval done data should go and store in SAP.
Now here i have couple of Questions.
1. In SAP R3 Business workflow when i execute the workitem from the inbox i do get the application screen ( i.e. MM01 MRP View ) , what is going to happen if the same case i have with Adobe form?? is it possible or do we have to design a adobe form and we will have to map the fields with backend application??
2. Do i have to maintained 3 separate Org Structure for 3 different system or using UWL i can manage the show
3. Untill final submit is not done, where the application data is going to be, is there any kind of buffer that we will have to keep it or its there with XML file??
Please help me out.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
Welcome to ADOBE Forms related Workflow Development. Well, here are my answers.
1) You can go for either go for ISR based development or WD development with Adobe form. In both the cases you can achieve your requirement. Yes, you will have to design the Adobe form and bind the fields to backend.
2) Am not clear or your System landscape to advice you in these regards.
3) Until final Submit/Approval is done, the data can be stored in WORKFLOW CONTAINERS or XML FORM(If you go for ISR based Development).
Hope this helps.

How to increase performance of adobe forms of MSS Business package

Hi
We have implemented MSS business package with PCR adobe forms.
Portal NW04 SP18, ERP 2004 , ADS is Nw04sp16 and abode reader 7.0.7.
we have develped own PCR using existing ISR frame work.
every thing working fine.but user facing performance problem like some times while opening pcr form ,browser gets hang up.
Is there any way to increase performance of adobe forms of PCR.
thanks In advance

Hi!
Interactive Forms need a lot of performance on the client side. If the client hangy up I think this is realted to client issues.
Also I would update the forms server to be the same version as the other NW components (Portal).

CAD graphics in PDF-Forms (Adobe Forms)

Hello,
I have a question concerning big graphics in PDF-based Forms. A Customer wants to append graphics to an Adobe-Form. These pictures will be CAD graphics. The problem is, this graphic can be from 10 up to 25 pages! Is it possible to append such a big graphic with variable pages to an Adobe Form?
The format of the graphics can be either PDF or JPEG.
And if this is possible: will the performance of printing or sending the extended form be acceptable?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Nina

On the Options tab of the button properties dialog, set the Layout to something other than "Label only" (e.g., Icon only). You can then clock the "Choose Icon" button to select a source for the button appearance. It can be a page from an existing PDF or anything else Acrobat knows how to convert to PDF, such as an image.

Business Objects and Adobe Interactive forms

Good day,
Is it possible to use a Business Objects report output and post it into Adobe forms? We would like to use a report output and allow users to comment per report line - online - or is there any other application in Business Objects which will make this possible
For Example:
Report Line                                       Comment
Sales   9999.9999                             ______________________________________
Expenses 99999.99                          ______________________________________
Thank you.

Hi,
I would suggest you post your question into the corresponding BusinessObjects client tool forum.

What's the business case for using adobe forms for handling print forms

Hi
We are just starting our SAP project and are looking at the possibility to use Adobe forms for generating and printing our forms, like purchase orders, invoices etc.
My Question is:
1. Is this possible / adviseable ?
2. if so - what's the business case in using Adobe forms - We have been looking on the SAP Pricing for adobe interactive form, and in our point of view it's grotesque high
3. What other options do we have - do we need to settle with SAP Script / Smartforms ?
Regards
Morten Nielsen

Hi Morten,
1. Is this possible / adviseable ?
As far I know SAP is going to stop support for SAPScript in coming years (I don't know exact dates). It is pretty much advisable to use Adobe Print Forms.
2. if so - what's the business case in using Adobe forms - We have been looking on the
SAP Pricing for adobe interactive form, and in our point of view it's grotesque high
We can use Adobe Print Forms where ever we can able to use SApscripts/PDF print Forms.
3. What other options do we have - do we need to settle with SAP Script / Smartforms ?
It is better to settle with Adobe forms rather than using SAPscript/Smart forms. One of the main reason for this is maintainance is much easier than SAPscript/Smart forms.
But remember that Java Stack need to be installed in order to use Adobe Forms.
Please visit the below SDN area on Adobe forms for more details.

How to attach a WebDynpro Adobe form to backend Business Object?

Hello,
I would like to know if anyone has created an Interactive Adobe Form, and then after the user has filled it out (online, via WebDynpro view), attach the pdf form to an SAP Document, for example, Order, Purchase Order or Contract?
I know how to create the WebDynpro Interactive Form, and I then have the pdf object in context attribute of WebDynpro. But am not sure how to do the next step of taking that pdf and attaching it to the SAP Document.
Any suggestions or code samples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Colleen

The interactiveForm UI element has one action called onSubmit. This action is triggered when any server event occurs within the Adobe Form itself. So if you place a submitButton from the Web Dynpro Native (assuming you are using ZCI forms) within the form, it will automatically trigger the onSubmit action and WD event handler.
Here is a video that shows the process - although it is a little bit older and uses ACFx forms. You would want to use the new ZCI form approach. The general process for linking the events is the same however.
