Can't create received Adobe Offline Form e-mail

Hi experts,
My setup is as follows:
CE 7.2 BPM System with Adobe Offline Forms, sent from system through smtp and received by imap.
When I recieved my Adobe Form task in my personal inbox, I modify it, press submit and I send the composed email with the pdf to the default receiver with default composed text.
Problem:
When the system receives the email, the following error occurs in the Last 24 hours (Java) log.
"Cannot create e-mail, because: charset=us-ascii [EXCEPTION] java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: charset=us-ascii"
To submit the pdf, button has to configured to submit the file as .pdf file. Standard the encoding with submit as pdf is UTF-16 (not possible to change the encoding when saving as pdf in LiveCycle Designer 2)
Any clues where to search/fix this problem? Because the process stops at that step.
Thx.

This just happened to me this morning during my commute. I read about 10 of my e-mails fine, but when I went to the next unread e-mail, the body of the e-mail was blank. I changed the preview to five lines and could see some of the text in the preview, but when I opened the e-mails, the body and subject lines are blank. It's been weeks since I upgraded to iOS4, so I don't know if it's related or not.
When I get home tonight, I might try resetting the iPhone.

  • Adobe Offline Forms 4.7

    Is it possible to create an Adobe Offline form in SAP 4.7?   If not, what other alternatives are available that can mimic filling out a form offline and then passing the information back into R/3 at a later time?

    Check the [Adobe FAQ|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2a8a0a37-0301-0010-f794-aecd1bb426e0#q-8]

    Regards,
    Gurprit Bhatia

    Hi Gurprit,
    A null value is being passed at runtime. Make sure that you enter values when filling in the form.
    Also check for the cardinality of the nodes being used. You can also initiliaze your value attributes as follows:
    In wdDoInit() method:
    wdContext.currentNodeAElement.setValueA("");
    Context is as follows:
    RootNode
      |____NodeA
            |_____ValueA
    Hope it helps.

  • HTTPS communication for Adobe Offline form with SAP ABAP WAS

    Hi Experts,
    Can we use HTTPS communication method to call a SAP ABAP Web Service from an Adobe offline form?
    Example : I have a SUBMIT button in my Adobe offline form and when clicked, it populates a sales order number in the form.
    Here my SAP ABAP server from where it reads the info is using HTTPS communication method. Now if i use the same service with HTTP it works fine but if i switch the service to use HTTPS it shows me an error "Error attempting to read from file. <https://FQDN/<service name> .
    I am using self-signed SSL server certificate from SAP ABAP server. But here i also see a certificate error in my browser (IE 7.0) saying "Untrusted Certificate". Is this the reason for my above issue?
    I could not find any post in SDN giving me the answer.
    Regards,
    Hobin

    Hi,
         The Certificates are already imported into the Trusted Certificates Section. But the real Issue is regading the Adobe Offline forms. If I open the Adobe Offline forms in the Adobe reader 9.0 and the Web Service call is made based on the Https:// . It saying "Error attempting to Read the file". The Fully qualified domain name is also provided VA. I have tried to import the certificates to Adobe Reader's -  Trust Identities but still it is not working . If I switch the webservice authentication method to Http:// then it would work. ADS is already configured with SSL. And the HTTPS:// based WebService embedded in the Adobe Interactive Form is working ,if the form is Online in the Browser (integrated in the Webdynpro Abap UI element).
    Is there any other way to Add SSL Certificates to Adobe Reader , so that Https:/ based webservice will work if the Form is opened in Adobe Reader 9.0.
    Regards,
    Hobs

    How can I create a long employment form without making the form widget drag?

    Sorry Sachin, I mean that I created a simple form on the page from the widget and started adding fields to it. The more fields I add the slower the delay becomes in creating a new field. Even when I try to select and drag or move an item, there's a huge delay and sometimes the program feezes,  loose what i've done and have ot restart.
    I'm doing an enployment form that has more than 20 fields, at least, and I need to be able to build the fields in separate categories, like Education, Past Employment, etc... quickly without delay issues.
    I can probably send you a snap shot of what I'm talking about if I cna post it or attach it here..?

  • Adobe offline form submission without HTTP or SMTP.

    Dear Adobe Gurus,
       Can offline Adobe forms can be submitted without uploading the form to a webdynpro application(HTTP) or sending an email(SMTP). In crude terms, if I have a PDF form with submit button. Can I open the PDF, click on the submit button and get the PDF form submitted. Please let me know your thoughts here and also what do you think is the best option to integrate the Offline PDF forms into SAP system.
    Thanks!
    Surya.

    Hi,
    If i understand weel you want to send back the form to SAP in an offline scenario without using SMTP or HTTP(S) , that's right ?
    There are 3 solutions for send back the form to SAP :
    1 - HTTP(S)
    2 - SMTP with an inbound processing define in SAP system
    3 - Upload directly into SAP.
    To upload data in SAP system you have to convert the Adobe forms into IXML data and then process the XML to extract data ...when it's finised you have to call a BAPI for updating data.
    Have a look here, you will find information on SMTP Flow .... [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/snippets/sampleCodeforprocessingInboundMailwithAdobeInteractive+Forms]
    Hope this help you.

  • Adobe Offline Forms issue in GRC System

    Experts:
    I am working on creating a Offline Form for GRC Process Control  in SAP GRC System. I have couple of doubts.
    1. In the Form property, there is a new field call 'Inbound Handler'.    The document which I referred says  that, this 'inbound handler' helps in processing the inbound pdf's which comes thro mail.       In this place we need to select the class developed with 2 methods, 1.Create Instance and 2. Handle PDF.    And the document also talks about creating a separate class and referring it in the exit rules (SO50).     I am not sure whether Inbound Handler is a replacement for Exit Rules (SO50) so something else.  Please Clarify.
    2. While generating the PDF file, as you know we call the series of function modules. I have problem with the FM ' CALL FUNCTION fm_name' . When this FM is executed,  normally it should generate the PDF and XML which will be available in fp_formoutput-pdf and fp_formoutput-xml.  But in this system even when there is no issues with the export parameters, the FM is not able to generate the PDF and XML. Both fp_formoutput-pdf and fp_formoutput-xml are coming as EMPTY. Result of which when the FM 'FP_JOB_OPEN' is called it displays the message 'No Job Started' and exits the program.  This same program works find in ECC 6.0 system. Can anyone thro some light on this?

  • 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

    Hi,
    <b>I have changed the mode to UpdateDataInPDF mode.</b>And now it is giving <b>500 Internal server Error while deployment.</b>
    The usePDF mode is working perfectly but then it cannot be used for displaying data fetched from SAP R/3.

    Does it has anything to do with proper installion of ADS Service on SAP WAS?

    Hi everybody,

    My problems is because I'm creating the Adobe forms from Webdynpro...and the controller (who is in charge about the creation of the pdf objects) don't let me made many instances of the form or maybe I don't know how to do it. I have a table with a list of data, I need to create differents pdf forms such as rows in the table...now the webdynpro application only creates one pdf, with the data of the first row.... =(
    anyway, Thanks for your answer, but...I don't know nothing about ABAP

  • Can I create a sign-in 'form' in iWeb?

    Can I create a simple 'form' in iWeb that allows visitors to 'sign in' or leave 'e-mail addresses' (that automatically get sent to my e-mail address)? No passwords or anything complicated.
    Ben

    No problem...
    First, set up a free account at http://freedback.com/
    Design a form on their site and select/copy the code they give you.
    In your iWeb page, type something like FORMCODE where you want the form to go.
    Open TextEdit - free text editor that comes with every mac.
    To view the code in an HTML file, choose File > Open and select "Ignore rich text commands." Then locate the .html file and click Open.
    (If you publish to your .Mac, mount your iDisk to find it. It will be located at iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/Sitename/Pagename.html)
    Find your text, FORMCODE, and replace it with the code you get from Freedback. Save your work.
    Remember, if you make a change to a page like this post-publishing, and later re-publish, you have to make the html changes all over again!
    You could set up a Find/Replace command in MassReplaceIt (http://www.hexmonkey.brownhost.com/). It's a useful and FREE little program that makes all this post-publish editing MUCH easier and faster.

  • Can I create a data entry form?

    I have inherited a large Excel spreadsheet and would like to create a data entry form to input/view data without continually scrolling horizontally. Is this possioble please?
    Many thanks,
    Gary

    Data entry forms and other alternate views of data are best made in a database application. Spreadsheets like Excel or Numbers show data in rows and columns and that's it. If there are two many rows or columns to fit on a page, scrolling is unavoidable. Ditto for tables in Word or Pages.
    A database can create displays that put all related data on a single screen or page.
    Mac databases include Filemaker and Bento (by the same company). I'm sure there are others, I've just never heard of them.
    Good luck,
    Terry
