Custom Adobe Forms in FORM16 output

Dear Sapgurus,
I have a requirement to change the adobe forms output in FORM16 PDF output.
In standard output PDF will contain annexure to Form 16 as fifth page .We don't need that fifth page in output.
So we tried to create a custom Adobe form without the annexure but unable to get PDF output with custom adobe form.
We are able to get the PDf output with 5 pages if we used the standard adobe form .Is there any other way to restrict the fifth
page.
Kindly provide me some info whether we need configure apart from ADS settings or how to restrict the fifth page alone ?.
thanks ,
S.Sriram

Adobe forms - format G_RAW - output tray

Hello,
I was using formats of device type (DINA4) to print sapscript formulars in different output trays. Now I have switched to adobe forms.
Adobe forms are always printed (as I've understood) in G_RAW format, and not in DINA4 format as I want.
For my printer ( KYO FS95XX PCL POSS, Driver HPL2 HP Laserjet) I'm not able to manipulate output trays in "Printer initialization" for G_RAW format (in SPAD).
Example for DINA4:
Example for G_RAW:
Do you have any suggestion how to:
1. Change format from G_RAW to DINA4?
2. To manipulate output trays of G_RAW format?
Thanks,
Evgenij

Hello Evgenij,
the reason why format G_RAW doesn't have any printer actions (e.g. tray commands) in default is that the contents of this format will not be evaluated by R/3.
In contrast, the contents of a DINA4 spool (SAPScript / SmartForm) will be interpreted according to the OTF rules. This means that storing an ADS (Adobe Document Services) data in DINA4 format could cause errors which hinder the printing of that spool, because ADS can not generate spools in OTF format.
These mean the following:
ADS spools should only be stored in G_RAW format. No other format should be selected as it could have unforeseen consequences (so the spool won't be printed)
Editing the "Printer initialization" of G_RAW for tray commands is not needed, because:
SAP KBA #2111085 - "Tray control in SAP" describes how tray selection can be done for ADS spools:
"You can select the tray using a job profile (see SAP Note 1743567) or by making a change to the XDC file and selecting the paper size assigned to the tray in the form or using a job profile (see SAP Note 766410)."
"If this has not been done and you choose "Additional Print Options" and select print options here (including using a default setting for the output device), these are used."
"You can define print tickets again in the definition of the output device in transaction SPAD. If no print options are selected in the print dialog box, the print ticket passed to the form interface by the print program is used (field IE_OUTPUTPARAMS-PRINTTICKET when the function module FP_JOB_OPEN is called)."
"If no print ticket is passed by the print program, the print ticket for which the "Standard Print Ticket" indicator is set for the output device is used. For this, you must use the report RSPO0021 to set the parameter SPAD_TRAY_IFBA."
"If there is no standard print ticket, the system uses the tray set on the "Output Attributes" tab in the definition of the output device in transaction SPAD (if the parameter SPAD_TRAY_IFBA is set)."
Best regards,
Laszlo

Custom Adobe forms do not display for Certain users

Custom forms were created and the majority of users can
display them. Some users are not able to display forms
unless you give them a new user ID. Role for all forms are
attached to position, if the role is attached to the temporary user ID it works. I am looking solutions or possible causes.
Using ECC 6.0.

Lolanda,
Do you know if your users that cannot use the forms have access to the ADSCerts view in the Key Storage service? Check out slide 26 in the below link:

Output type processing error for adobe forms

We have created one output type in NACE transaction for Application V1(Sales) and attached the Adobe form to that output type. Whevener i am creating or saving a quotation / Sales order that output type is not processesed rather it is giving an Express document error that 'Update was terminated'.

Weird character 'u00A4' display at output of ADOBE form in SAP for amount

When display pattern for amount field is set for ADOBE form in SAP, output displays ' ¤ '.
All display patterns shows '$' at the begining, but when output is generated it displays '¤'.
Advice me how to eliminate this. (or)
Is there a way to hide this character.

I am not saying this is your problem BUT I was troubled for quite a while by having unprintable characters imbedded within text fields. It turns out that Ctrl V character was being embedded within text by user.
So I suggest that you view the data while in debug and do it in hex. This was the only way I was able to see that I had a problem with the text itself. Then I was able to add logic to filter for these errors.

Change title for Adobe form for PO in subsequent print of the form

Hi experts,
I am printing PO output using a customized adobe form using me21.I have a requirement that if the PO has been printed once any subsequent print should print with change in the title.How to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.

Hello ,
You can identify whether a PO is output for display or for actual O/P using the Tcode ME9f.
SAP identifies this by a parameter in nast
To check whether it is PO modification or new print
IF nast-aende = 'X'.
g_mod = 'X'.
ENDIF.
Through Me9f , you have 2 buttons 'Display Message' & 'Output message' . If you press Output message the actual Print command is triggered and in the driver program of PO you get value of AENDE as 'X'.
You can identify whether it is PO creation or PO change.
Also with customization in SPRO for the changed elements ,you can track the changes done in PO using table t166t.

Radhakrishnan

Adobe Forms & SRM 4.0

We are trying to move from Smartforms to Adobe forms for PO output but we are running into issues when we try to set the PO output configuration as we can't find custom Adobe Form for selection. We are using SRM 4.0 so the first question would be "is this actually possible?" & the second would be how?

Hi Richard,
Please try to implement the BAdI BBP_OUTPUT_CHANGE_SF to change the smartform to Adobeform.
Use the parameter CV_ADOBEFORM.
Thanks,

Setting a security method in Adobe forms

Hi all,
This is th Adobe form developemnt. the output PDF will be downloaded to the Presentation server.When ever i am viwing the PDF Document-> Security.> Show security settings it is showing as 'No security'. But I need to set the set the security method as 'Password secured'.
Please help me out in this issue. How to set the password security in Adobe forms.
Thanks & Regards
Deepika

Hi Deepika,
You could try to add a password to the PDF as follows:
Prerequisites: NW70 SP-13 or higher (include ADS J2EE engine)
Preparation
1. Job profile
first create xml file which has following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<JobProfile>
<Description>
##Password encryption
</Description>
<Protect transform = "add">
<OpenPassword>open</OpenPassword>
<MasterPassword>master</MasterPassword>
</Protect>
</JobProfile>
You can select any name for <OpenPassword> and <MasterPassword>.
Save this xmlfile. And copy it to ADS server
/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/AdobeDocumentServices/JobProfiles/Custom/Print
2. Create Password alias on ADS
Visual Admin -> server -> services -> DocumentServicesConfiguration
-> Password tab
Create 2 alias
   Alias: open   (It should be same as as above XML tag <OpenPassword>)
   password: this password will be used for opening PDF.
   Alias: master (It should be same as as above XML tag
<MasterPassword>)
   password: this password will be used for opening with Acrobat
Professional.
3. Modify print program
When you call sfp runtime, you need to use 'SET_JOB_PROFILE' with job
profile name (created by step1)

FP_TEST_03
Job Profile -> select file which is created by step1. (You can use F4

These are addtional steps to add password encryption for PDF.

How to use Adobe forms with F150 Dunning Run

Hi,
I want to use Adobe forms with the transaction F150 Dunning Run.
How do I get the adobe form in customizing? I have put the FM 'FI_PRINT_DUNNING_NOTICE_PDF' in business transaction Event, BF31 - P/S modules of SAP app - 00001720, Fi-FI. But it is still not recognizing the ADOBE form.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am also working for calling custom adobe form instead of sapscript.
While configuring BTE 1720, i noticed that configuring BTE only FI-FI application does not solve the purpose. You need to assign function module FI_PRINT_DUNNING_NOTICE_PDF for all Application Area Indicator.
Adding to IS-PS will allow to print for customer.
This solved my problem. But this setting is global so you need to take care of it.

Unable to send FAX of Delivery Note Adobe form - Not visible in SOST

Hello,
I have created a delivery note adobe form and the output medium has been configured as FAX. But when we are doing any delivery in VL02N, the FAX output is not going to SOST.
Let me tell you that, for printing it's working fine. It's going to SP02 successfully.
Thanks
Satya

Hello Satya,
This issue may be due to several reasons. Here are some of the reasons.
1. check the settings in the of fax in scot transaction.
2. check the whether any virus scan profile is active, if it is active, check whether any default profile is maintained or not.
Please provide me the procedure or function module which you are using to send fax. so that it will be easy to understand the type of the error. Also check whether email is working for the above scenario
thanks,

How to make adobe form as Interactive

Hi,
I am trying to make adobe form in input-output mode ie. Interactive. For that I am passing parameter fp_docparams-fillable = 'X' to function module which generates Adobe form (In driver pgm) But its giving error as <u>"<i>Error in Adobe Document Services: Processing exception during a "UsageRights" operation.#Request start time: Tue Jul 17 16:37:37 GMT+05:30 200"</i></u>
Do we need to any ADS setting? or is there any other way to make form?interactive?
Regards,
Seema

hi Seema,
you need to install the ADS first of all...
the interactive form is not a much complicated thing at all....
like you create all the UI in the Dynpro Layout...
you create the UI elements in the Adobe Lifecycle Designer.
they are bound to the Context the same way as your Dynpro ui elements are.
whatever you put in the Context will affect the contents of the ui element.
and whatever you put/type in the ui element will be reflected in the context.
