Hi,
I couldn't get to your query..
What do you mean by step by step procedure for a design time & process for forms.
if you are a beginner and looking for basic examples to implement adobe forms there are lot of them in SDN, please search them.
let me know if your query was a very specific one.

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

Create adobe form in SFP from a pdf file on disc

Hi all,
How in transaction SFP can we import an existing pdf file on the disc? I did not see any way to do so but I'm sure it's possible.
Is it always relevant and saving development time?
Points awarded for any help
Thanks
Yann

Hi Yann,
Go to Layout tab in SFP transaction and then Tools --> Import. Here select the PDF you want to upload.
Hope it helps.

Transaction code for creating adobe forms

hi guys,
i was trying to learn adobe forms. can anyone tell me the t.code like where to create adobe forms.
points will be awarded generously.

Hi,
t.code SFP.
definition:
Interactive Forms based on Adobe software is SAP's new solution for forms development. Its first release has the focus on interactive use of forms. High-volume printing is supported in principle, but - being a new solution - the performance has not yet reached the same level as Smart Forms or SAPscript, two established solutions that had years to grow. Interactive Forms is the only solution that will continue to be enhanced with new features, while SAPscript and Smart Forms will be supported without limitations.
When (or if) to move to Interactive Forms depends on your requirements. For interactive forms usage, i.e. the new functions, you have no choice, as the existing solutions don't support it. High-volume print scenarios need to be carefully analyzed to see whether your concrete requirements can be met at this point.
However, it is possible to move to Smart Forms and design your forms in such a way that a migration at any point in the future would be but a small step. Smart Forms offers from Web AS 6.40 a migration wizard to Interactive Forms. Technically, everything can be migrated, but we recommend against things like ABAP program nodes, for example.
You are not forced to ever go to Interactive Forms if you don't want to. It really depends on whether your client needs any of the new features in Interactive Forms. Also, if they are currently working with JetForms, they could enquire with Adobe directly what migration path they offer to the joint solution.

example
To get an overview idea about Adobe forms ,
Using SFP , first you need to create a interface . in interface you can declare the import and export parameters and also the declaration part, coding etc : This is nothing but similar to Function module interface.
And now we have to create the Form which is interactive. Create the form and enter the interface name which you have created in first step, so that the parameters , declarations of fields etc : will be copied and available in the form layout. So that you can drag and drop these declared fields ( dclared fields of interface ) to the layout.
Create the context and layout in the form.
The layout generated can be previewed and saved as PDF output.
Now we need to integrate the driver program and the PDF form to get the final output as per the requirement.
On activating and executing the form you will get a function module name just similar to smartforms.
The driver program needs to call this FM.
Refer to the below sample code :
DATA : is_customer TYPE scustom.
DATA : it_bookings TYPE ty_bookings.
DATA : iv_image_url TYPE string.
DATA : iv_sending_country TYPE adrc-country.
DATA : it_sums TYPE TABLE OF flprice_t.
DATA : docparams TYPE sfpdocparams.
DATA : formoutput TYPE fpformoutput.
DATA : outputparams TYPE sfpoutputparams.
PARAMETERS : pa_cusid TYPE scustom-id.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM scustom INTO is_customer
WHERE id = pa_cusid.
SELECT * FROM sbook
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_bookings
WHERE customid = pa_cusid.
outputparams-nodialog = 'X'.
outputparams-getpdf = 'X'.
*outputparams-adstrlevel = '02'.

Error when create adobe form

Hi,
When i created adobe form, i found an error :
Could not start Layout Designer (see long text)
Message no. FPUIFB086
Diagnosis
The forms design tool for developing the form layout could not be started; either it is not installed or there are errors in the installation.
Procedure
Make sure that you have the forms design tool installed on your desktop (the tool is part of the SAPGUI installation).
Also read SAP Note 801524.
In my computer Adobe Life Cycle Designer 8.0 installed, why it happen?
Please help me.
Thank you.

Ferry

Good to know — there is no such application as "Adobe XI".
"Adobe" is the name of the company.
"XI" is indicative of the use of either Acrobat XI or Reader XI.
Neither Acrobat XI Pro (for which Adobe provides a free, fully functional 30-day trial) nor Adobe Reader XI (the free to download and use PDF viewer that Adobe provides) have an "Export PDF" entry under "File".
"Export PDF" only is present in Adobe Reader XI over on the right on the "Tools" panel.
The "Tools" panel provides a way for a user of Adobe Reader XI to connect to various By Subscription online services (gotta pay eh).
Export PDF is one of these. A subscription lets you send a PDF file to the online internet service (aka "cloud" service). The service then exports to a supported file format (Word / Excel / ...) and the user selects / directs where the output file is to be saved on the user's local machine.
Of course to use any of the online subscription services one must have an active (paid up in full) subscription to the service.
So ---- As described the puzzle pieces don't fit eh.
What specific Adobe (the company) applications are you using?
Acrobat XI Pro? Adobe Reader XI? Both?
Be well....

Create Adobe form from pdfSource

Hi All,
I have created a Adobe form using WD ABAP. At time of submit, I am storing this form in pdfSource.
Now I have to create the form using this pdfSource. How can we achieve this?
Thanks in Advance,
Amit

Hi,
We are trying to implement workflow, without using ESS MSS or Guided procedure. So once one user has filled and submit the form. We have to generate the same form with data for other user.
I know, we can extract the data and save it in a table, and then again set it for another user. But its a bit lengthy procedure
Thats why, we are trying to generate the form using pdfSource.

ADOBE FORMS using Webservice

Hi Experts,
I have a problem with Adobe Forms Using webservice. I created RFC where it saves data from Adobe Forms to a customized table and exposed it as webservice. From the SOA manager, I copied the generated link pasted in the dataconnection in Adobe Lifecycle designer, but whenever I generate the form I keep receiving this error:
"http:// erpwrk1.corp.com:8000/sap/bc/srt/wsdl/bndg_DFA46DE60CFOD33F19F21005056C00008/wsdl11/allinone/ws_policy/document?sap-client=001". Check that the path is correct and that the file is a valid wsdl file.
I already activated services from SICF in relation SOAP runtime. What could be the cause of the problem and how to fix the problem?
Thanks A Lot!
Mae

Hi Ma. Angelica A. Estacio,
From the SOA manager, I copied the generated link pasted in the dataconnection in Adobe Lifecycle designer, but whenever I generate the form I keep receiving this error: Check that the path is correct and that the file is a valid wsdl file and hence i cannot finish the data connection wizard.
From the above posts, it looks like you have resolved the issue. But can you please let me know how did you resolve it ?
Did you check any SAP transaction to find the above mentioned checkbox?
Please revert as this has become critical now.
You can mail me your response on [email protected]
