Cannot display Adobe form as Callable object in GP

Hi all,
I'm trying to display an adobe form as an Interactive Form Callable object.
I've created a process -> block -> action -> callable object. But the form doesnt display. When I launch the GP runtime and initiate the process, I get the message "The next activity is not yet available: try again later using the "Refresh" button " nothing happens when I hit the refresh button.
Can someone advise me what I might be doing wrong? I've also tried things like consolidating parameters with other callable objects just to see if anything display, but no luck so far.
Thanks
TM

Hi Som,
I'm using NW04s, EP 7.0 SPS 10
OS is Unix(server) Windows 2000 Pro (client)
Browser version is IE 6.0.
I just realised the system is sending out an email to the initiator, and the initiator is able to open the Adobe form. But who does the initiator send the email back to? I'm quite a newbie to this stuff so please bear with me. Also another question is, if the form is offline, then how do we know which workflow (GP) it will tie to once the form is submitted back to the system? In other words, does the person who receives the email with a filled adobe form have to manually initiate the workflow or is there a mechanism to automate this?
Thanks in advance
TM

Cannot display pdf form with Adobe Reader 9.1.3

Since the last update of my Reader (last version is 9.1.3), I can't display pdf form in the workspace. I got a blank page.
Is anybody have the same problem?

- Go to the registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT > Software > Adobe >Acrobat> delete any older version that is older than the one you just updated to make sure it contains only the current one you have for both Acrobat Reader and/or Pro version since it did not removed when you uninstall or update.
- Also go the installed directory where you installed the Acrobat and delete any folder that contains older version, same here with the registry, it did not remove when you uninstall/update acrobat reader or pro.
The above steps also solve the problem of can not open pdf file within Internet Explorer or browser as well.

Displaying Adobe Form through CRM WEB UI

Hi Experts,
Currently I am working on CRM Technical which is very new to me. I've got a requirement to display the Adobe form through CRM WEB UI. The requirement is like this.
In a screen of WEB UI there is a option of OUTPUT preview. When i select the specific billing document and when i click on OUTPUT Preview tab it should display the Adobe Form which was developed in SAP GUI using txn SFP. I have done some R&D on it and i found that an ACTION Profile need to be created for this kind of requirements. But in my research i found only Smartforms can be displayed using the ACTION point.. Could anyone help me out how to display the Adobe Form using the Action......
Regards,
Aarthi.

Hi Robert,
I came across this post after implementing the same solution. It works fine for me in SAPgui, i.e. it creates an entry in the spool which I can priview or print, but when I use the webUI it just opens a new window with a white background and the message 'Error in smartform'.
Nitin, did you manage to come up with any solution? Or did this work for you?

Hello,
you need to provide the information via the interface, which you create for the Adobe form.
And then pass this values via the following function module inside your generation report.
CALL FUNCTION fm_name
check standard report : FP_EXAMPLE_01 as an example!

Issue with displaying ADOBE forms using ABAP dynpro

Hi all,
We are trying to display the adobe form in the portal using ABAP dynpro. but as i test the application in R/3 it throws the dump in ST22. if i see that dump it says Uncaught exception in ADS, forms are not interactive, data can be provided on interactive forms only. But if we try the same aplication using Java dynpro it runs successfully.
What can be the issue, is there any problem with ADS configuration.
Its urgent. Please provide some inputs.
Thanks and Regards

Thanks Abhi,
I checked displayType it is already native and form type also ZCI. still there is same problem
In st22, it shows exception as
Error analysis
WebDynpro Exception:
    The cause of the exception was:
ADS: com.adobe.ProcessingException: PDF is not interactive. Data can only be
    imported into interactive forms
thanks

Add a button to display Adobe Form through SPRO on T-code IQS22

I asked my question in hopes that somebody has maybe had a similar question or has dealtwith something similar to what I am trying to do
But you said you already know how to do this. You said you know how to create a JFrame and display it. So what is your problem?
You said you know where to add the code. So again what is your problem?
All you posted is code that was generated by the IDE. You have not make any effort to add your own code. Why do you think the code to show a frame here, is any different than the code you used to show a frame in the past?
You learn by trying, not by asking people to spoon feed the answer to you.
If you would even make the slightest effort at filling in the code where the IDE has told you to add the code I would be more willing to help. But apparently you have no desire to make the effort.

Hi
I hope you ppl are able convert the pdf document into xstring. This sample code here will help you tranfer any pdf document, and will display in web browser.
Sample from BSP application sf_webform_04
which display smartfrom into pdf format
Fill HTTP request
response->set_header_field( name = 'content-type'
                              value = 'application/pdf' ).
response->delete_header_field( name = 'pragma' ).
response->delete_header_field( name = 'expires' ).
response->delete_header_field( name = 'cache-control' ).
some Browsers have caching problems when loading PDF format
response->set_header_field(
                    name = 'cache-control'
                    value = 'max-age=0' ).
start PDF viewer either in the Browser or as a separate window
if pdf_in_browser is initial.
     response->set_header_field(
                        name = 'content-disposition'
                        value = 'attachment; filename=webforms.pdf' ).
endif.
finally display PDF format in Browser
l_pdf_len = xstrlen( l_pdf_xstring ). <= pass ur binary data here
response->set_data( data   = l_pdf_xstring
                      length = l_pdf_len ).
navigation->response_complete( ).

Prevent auto display/assignment of next callable object

Hi everybody,
I have the following scenario for a GP process:
fist step: maintain data
second step: approve data
The callable objects are WD4J.
I need to route the workflow to a role/group of users. It may happen, that the processor of step 1 is also a member of the role, that is responsible for step 2. Because of SOX compliance, he is not allowed to approve his own data. But if GP identifies the current user as the processor of the next callable object, the callable object is displayed directly and assigned to the user.
This results to the following question:
1) How can I avoid, that the callable object is called directly and force the users to go always to the uwl first, even if several following steps are assigned to the same user
2) How can I prevent that a user is not able to take a task if he was the predecessor of the first step, evenif he belogs to the role that is responsible for the task
I would like to avoid a workaround based on custom code.
Any hints are welcome.
Best regards,
René

Hi Fahad,
I tried same as you said but its not worked.
public void execute( com.sap.caf.eu.gp.co.api.IGPExecutionContext executionContext )
    this.executionContext=executionContext;
public void Complete( )
IUser usr =UMFactory.getUserFactory().getUserByLogonID("logonid");
          IGPProcessRoleInstance role = executionContext.getProcessRoleInstance() ;
          role.addRuntimeDefinedUser(usr) ;
I changedthe roleInitiator of next action is runtime defined.
but its not worked.

Requirements for displaying Adobe forms

Dear All,
I have developed an application with interactive form ui element(Adobe). When I deployed the application I was not able to see it initially but after the installation of ACF I am able to see it perfectly(thanks to Arafat in this forum). Now, I just want to know what are the end user requirements in order to be able to see the application on their end. My queries are:
1. What are the end-user requirements in order to see these adobe interactive forms?
2. What is the native type in interactive forms UI element and what does it do(if I set type as native)? In which version this native type is available. I am using 2.0.9 version right now(I have 7.0 version too) but I was unable to find this type in any of them.
3. Does the user requires the installation of ACF in order to view this adobe form once deployed on their server?
4. What is the minimum version of Adobe that needs to be available at the client machine in order to be able to view this interactive form?
I hope I am clear with what my doubts are. It's a bit urgent . Helpful answers will be appreciated with reward points.
Thanks and Regards,
Gaurav Bhardwaj

Hi Gaurav,
Here are answers to your queries:
1: End User Requirements -
If you are using activex controls:
- Adobe Reader 7.x or above and when using ver 8, then 8.1 & above
- ACF Installed
If you are using Adobe Native Controls:
- No need for ACF
- Adobe Reader 8.1.x or above
2: You can find native type nder displaytype property of Interactive form UI elemen. If you are using the nativ type, then it makes the ZCI.
3: Yes, if you are using ActiveX components in your form, then you need ACF
4: 8.1 or above is best... 7.x will also do but there may be some instances where 7 wouldnt work
Hope this resolves your issues.
Regards,
Arafat

Cannot embed Adobe form in Firefox

Hello,
I generated a form in FORMSCENTRAL, selected the embed option, and pasted the script into an HTML document. The form works great in Safari, but for some reason, the bottom of the form is cutt off in Firefox. You can still display the fields below the cut off using tab, but cannot go back to an older field once the cut off point is passed. It seems like there is a problem with the way in which the form height is being displayed.
I am running Firefox 6.0, but tried downgrading and the same issue occurred. This also happens in IE.
Am I doing something wrong? Any suggestions?
Thank you!

I'm still not seeing a problem. I tried it on my mac with FF 5, and 6.
Can you empty your browser cache (FireFox Properties | Advanced | Network | Clear Now) and see if that changes your behavior?
Here is html source similar to yours, but shows the communication between the form and the page:

Safari cannot display web form correctly (BUG)

Hello,
I tried to sign up for a popular robotics exhibition in Japan. A lot of people are probably having this issue.
The signup form will not display radio buttons however IE displays them correctly. The bottom section of this page has 7 areas full of radio buttons. Why can't Safari show it? This is very bad.
I had to run Windows in VMware to sign up!!

Thank you. Unfortunately the event is over so I cannot see it anymore, so will have to see if this problem appears in the future.
