Can BPM support off-line Adobe Interactive Form

Can anybody tell me weather BPM can support off-line Adobe Interactive Form or give me a solution for this scene. Thank you for your help

Hi Eric,
NW BPM in CE 7.11 EhP1 only supports "WebDynpro 4 Java" as UI technology. Nevertheless the following thread might be interesting for you:

How to save adobe interactive forms offline in blackberry

Hi Experts,
A basic question...
Can a user save an adobe interactive form in blackberry while he is not connected to the SAP system.
The user is not logged on to the internet(the user is offline/ not connected to the system)when he or she fills out the form.
Can the user access the adobe interactive form offline and save it in blackberry if he is not connected to the internet.
Thanks,
Sangeeta.

Heavy performance issues using Adobe Interactive Form PDFs generated by SAP BPM

Dear experts,
we use Adobe Interactive Form PDFs (generated with LiveCycle Designer) as Human Tasks within SAP BPM processes. The PDFs are generated and transmitted correctly, but when they are opened at the receivers PC, Windows freezes for 2-3 minutes, then the PDF opens and can be filled out and sent back. The next PDFs can be opened much faster, but when the PC is restarted, we get the same problem again. We use Adobe Reader XI (11.0.2) on our clients; is their any know performance issue?
Please note, that we have this problem with EVERY Adobe Interactive Form PDF... I created a simple PDF containing just a field and the client PC still freezes. So it can't be in the form or the scripting. Normal static PDFs can be opend without any problems.
Best regards,
David

They haven't really announced it, because there is no product to announce. Rather the opposite.
There are no conversion tools, so far as I know.
XFA forms are a non-starter if you want portability.
AcroForms are a nightmare in themselves, because the functionality is limited in Adobe Reader and varies between absent and weird in other products. No idea about Blackberry support.
You will not find a simple recommendation. Rather, you need to use Acroforms and carefully test everything (EVERYTHING: no assumptions) on every platform you intend to support.
Yes, rather unsatisfactory, but until Adobe realise that the future is platform equivalence or irrelevance, this is where we are.

Off Line Adobe Form has to be Locked

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement in Off Line Adobe Forms.
We are sending a Adobe Form to user through mail.User is trying to edit some data by using Acrobat Writer. So client is asking to put a restriction/protect/Lock to the Form.So that user can't edit anything.
I don't want to use password Protect method.
I want to use this syntax,but not sure as I don't have Acrobat Writer : form.sf1.access = "protected"; // or use readOnly.
Please suggest me as this is very urgent.
Thank in advance.

Page is nothing but a subform. like u hide a subform on a page. you can also hide the page itself by using the presence property.
instead of hiding the individual subforms. hide the page as complete.

Can I link an Adobe Interactive Form to a business transaction type

Hi
Is there a way to link an Adobe Interactive Form to a business transaction type?
We want to make sure that any AIF attachments sent to Outlook for our Sales Managers are related to a specific activity.
Cheers
Declan

i don't think this is possible.
you can create documante templete profiles in spro>crm>basic functions>content management>define document template profile
and in spro>crm>transactions>Assign Transaction Types to Templates for Folder and Doc. Template profiles you can assign folder and document profiles to specific transaction types
But unfortunately this works only for folders, but not for document tempaltes. at least i did not find the solution to link document template to document template profile

Can Adobe Interactive Forms do calculation

HI GURUs,
I am new to Adobe Forms.
Two quick questions:
1. Is it doable to create drop-down list for selection in Adobe Forms? For example, listing different sizes for shoes selection.
2. Is the Form able to do calculation as Excel does? beccause we need to verify total money spent is less than maximum entitlement.
Thanks.

Extract and Load Adobe Interactive Forms

I need help in validating the following scenario
1 - Customer creates a .pdf (Adobe Interactive Form) in SAP ERP2005 with an editable field
2 - Customer mails the .pdf file from ERP2005 to a vendor or extracts the .pdf file to a central repository external to SAP
3 - Vendor receives the file, populates editable field (off-line), and saves the file
4 - Vendor sends the .pdf file back to the customer
5 - Customer receives the .pdf file and imports the file into SAP ERP2005 processing the respective data on the .pdf
My question is can you performs steps 2 and/or 5. If so, how? Does it require other tools like XI and Itemfield ConversionAgent to process the extract from SAP or load to SAP?

Hello Kirk,
SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe is a basic technology that supports some of your requirements out of the box. In general you are describing a workflow in your first post, thus I would propose checking workflow-related documentation (e.g. Guided Procedures, Business Task Management). You can find links as part of the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/interactiveforms">Interactive Forms Knowledge Center</a>.

Process data of none bound fields in Adobe Interactive Form (stack 13)

I use a Adobe interactive form (made in Designer 7.0)which is a combination of fields bound to Web Dynpro Context fields and fields which has no binding at all (in Designer: Default binding = Normal). The Adobe Document Services on the J2ee server is of stack 13.
When I save the Adobe Form (off-line scenario)from the Web Dynpro Application, only fields bounded to the Web Dynpro Context are saved in the Form on my local file system(no warning that data isn't saved).
When I open the Form for off-line editing, I can change bounded fields and none bounded fields. But when I save and re-open the form, the data in the none bounded fields is lost.
I used the same scenario in a stack 11 j2ee/portal system, but then all data (bounded or not) in the form was saved!
Could anyone explain the difference, but better tell me how to save both kind of fields in the off-line form (and bounding all fields is not a solution).
Thanks in advance,
Richard

Hi,
Check your ADS settings, I feel it's due to lack of some config in ADS only.

Questions concerning the use of Adobe Interactive Forms

Hi All,
I have two questions that I would to see if I could get an answer to.
1) Has or can one use an Adobe Interactive form on a Tablet PC to allow a user to draw, say a small diagram or map, and have that image then stored in an R/3 database?
2) I may already know the answer to this, but want to verify it anyway. Can Adobe Interactive forms be used to provide data to other applications outside of SAP using NetWeavers J2EE or .Net API?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Mark

Hello!
1) As far as I know (and can see in Adobe Designer opened at my PC right now) there are no standard controls
in the library that can be used to add drawing (ink) area to the form. Maybe external are available, but unlikely.
Even more, googling shoes that Adobe itself is not eager to support ink in their Acrobat products... Pity but so.
So my answer for the first question is "NO".
2) That depends on what you mean on "providing data to other applications outside of SAP using NetWeaver J2EE and .NET".
If you are using NetWeaver J2EE than you are still using SAP.
If you want to install SAP's ADS server on J2EE server from another vendor, than it is not a good idea:
First - it should be merely legal to use SAP software like this.
Second - Adobe's standalone forms solution (Link: [Adobe LiveCycle Forms ES|http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/]) should be cheaper.
On the other hand, if you create a simple form in LifeCycle Designer not inside SAP, but launched standalone and
set this form to send data to let's say XML-service, than there is no problem to use any other server application / platform.
It's just have to be a web-service like: support HTTP-requests with XML inside.
In the last case still the question persists "why use SAP in this case?"
Just few ERP 2005 licenses will cost more, than entire Adobe product line, so maybe you have to change the platform?

Error message while clicking PDF Preview of a ADOBE interactive form

Hi -
I am creating an ADOBE interactive form having Tables, few text fields and E-mail submit button. The scripting language used is FormCalc.
Whenever I am clicking on PDF Preview to see the form layout and to check other functionality, I am getting an error message:
Error message -
Error: syntax error near token '|' on line 1, column 14.
Script failed (language is formcalc; context is xfa[0].form[0].data[0].Mainpage[0].Subform3[0].Table2[0].Row1[0].RATING[0])
script=this.isnull || (this.rawvalue >= -32768 && this.rawvalue <= 32767
I checked my scripts and there is no syntax error in that. My form is also working absolutely fine except getting this error message pop up whenever I try previewing my form.
Can you please tell me, what can be the possible reason.

I tried everything, but couldn't figure out the reason for error. I wrote the script again, but the error is still coming.
Here is a part of my script. I have written this script on Email submit button in preSubmit event, to check if the RATING field value is less than or equal to 3. depending upon this condition, I am making the COMMENT field as mandatory. The same script is repeated for all the RATING & COMMENT fields.
if (data.GyanMainBodyPage.Subform2.Table1.Row1.RATING1 <= 3)
then
 data.GyanMainBodyPage.Subform2.Table1.Row1.COMMENT1.mandatory = "error"
 data.GyanMainBodyPage.Subform2.Table1.Row1.COMMENT1.mandatoryMessage = "Please fill corresponding comment"
else
 data.GyanMainBodyPage.Subform2.Table1.Row1.COMMENT1.mandatory = "disabled"
endif
