  • Standard SAP Adobe Template in Adobe Interactive form

    Hi folks,
             Does any one knows how to import a standard SAP Adobe template (for eg :- PR template or SO create template) which is given by SAP into Adobe Interactive form UI element in Webdynpro perspective. I tried opening Adobe Interactive element by editing it and tried for import a std adobe template but I did not see any option to do so.
             Appreciate an early response.
    Regards,

    Hi Guru
    if you are involved in an SAP-internal project, which includes the development of a form, there are probably internal ways to do that.
    If you need any of the official customer-ready forms we ship, you would need access to a mySAP ERP 2004 system and try and get one of the print forms out of that system. SAP is currently not providing any of their official forms outside the respective application.
    As for your second question, first a clarification: The template as such is not in the system as PDF, but in a format called XDP. The PDF is the generated document that includes the system data.
    Calling another system via BAPI and RFC is supported as part of the Web Dynpro for Java framework, and obviously in ABAP. As you need to define a form context to determine where your data for the form comes from, this data can come from other systems using BAPI/RFC. This is SAP functionality supported in SAP NetWeaver '04.

  • Adobe Interactive Form is not working - Specify Stream Source

    Hi Experts:
    I am having an issue, where the system I am on is SAP ERP Central Component 5.0 (ECC5.0). There is no Layout Tab to define ZCI or xACF in transaction SFP. I'm not sure if this is relevant, except that, I cannot get my custom Interactive form to work.
    All PDF tests in SAP are passing, but being on ECC5.0, I do not have the following programs (among many others):
    FP_CHECK_DESTINATION_SERVICE
    FP_CHECK_HTTP_DATA_TRANSFER
    When I call my Adobe Interactive Form and set sfpdocparams-fillable = 'X' I get an error:
    Error creating PDF Document -PDF Exception: Stream does not represent a PDF document.
    I have applied the Usage Rights credential properly and my form displays read-only when sfpdocparams-fillable = BLANK. While in transaction SFP, I can see that my interactivity works when displaying the form through the Preview PDF tab.
    Also, I know that my credential works because when I test form ISR_FORM_SPEG, I do have interactivity.
    In parsing through the ADS log file of my custom AIF, I noticed the following:
        Parse template node
            Template:
                Source = Stream
                Name = TEMPLATE
    But I believe it should be something like:
         Parse template node
             Template:
                 Source = URL
                 Name = dest:FP_ICF_DATA_<My_System_ID>//sap/bc/fp/form/layout/<My_Form_Name>.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can change the source of my stream?
    Thanks for your time experts,
    Sean

    Hi Sean
    In the Visual Admin of the server that runs the ADS check under server->services->destinations click on http folder. There should be something under that called FP_ICF_DATA_<sid of backend>. If there is not then create one in there.

  • Credential for Adobe Interactive Forms ?

    Hi Everyone,
    I just installed Adobe Document Server in order to use Adobe Forms in my WebDynpro App.
    The config guide says something about a "Credential"... Is it a license ? 
    I create a message to request that credential, but I would like to know if somebody has implemented this already.
    Thanks guys,
    Diego

    Hello Diego,
    as Markus outlined there is a difference between the Credential and the License Key. The Credential is required for every ADS installation to enable the Reader Rights functionality and is free of charge to SAP customers (see OSS Note 736902)
    The license key is only required if you want to use the Interactive Forms based on Adobe software in a production environment for
    - Deploying your own custom-developed interactive form templates
    -  Deploying modified SAP delivered interactive forms by adding or changing field connections to the SAP system
    To generate print forms (non-interactive) or run the system in a development/test environment you do not require a license key
    However if licensing is required for your production deployment of the Adobe document services please contact your SAP account manager.
    Cheers

  • Credentials to use adobe interactive form

    Hi
       I see an OSS note that talks about creating a OSS ticket to SAP requesting them for credentials to use an adobe interactive form.
    We are on ECC 5.0 ( WAS 640 ) and intend to generate an adobe interactive form using a combination of adobe livecycle designer ( T.code SFP ) and an ABAP application program that sets the generated pdf property to fillable = 'X'
    Question is - is there any extra licensing code required to get this credentials to SAP.
    Please reply.

    Hi Karthik,
    Please refer to the below note for your reference on Interactive form licensing:
    eason and Prerequisites
    The interactive use of PDF forms may be subject to license under certain circumstances.
    Solution
    Using the tools and using print forms (not interactive) is part of the license of the relevant SAP solution (including NetWeaver).
    If the following three criteria apply to you, you must purchase an additional license from SAP for your SAP Interactive Forms:
    You create templates for interactive forms.
    You create your own customer-specific interactive form templates or change an interactive form template delivered by SAP by adding further interactive fields or changing the data binding of existing interactive fields to the back-end.
               (Such modifications exceed cosmetic changes in form templates delivered by SAP such as adding your own logo or static texts, and are therefore subject to license.)
    You use interactive forms in a productive system, that is, end users fill in generated PDF forms during business operations.
    Note that the additional license also affects interactive forms used by SAP partners (independent software vendors - ISV), who deliver these forms as part of their products developed on the SAP NetWeaver platform.
    Current information about licensing is also available on SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/Adobe --> FAQs.
    The license for SAP Interactive Forms is an official SAP license. For further details, consult your contact person in your local SAP sales office.

  • Offline Adobe Interactive Form Upload options - CRM 2007 sp4

    CRM 2007 sp 4 Adobe Interactive Forms requirement
    We intend to develop an Offline Adobe Interactive form which we are going to pass to Outlook through Groupware Integration to represent a customer visit to enable our sales people to record customer visits whilst in the field 
    Once the visit details have been saved to the offiline form the data in the form needs to be submitted to our system.  From what i can see we have three options for this to take place: by Email / WebServices / WebDynpro-Upload can be used to post the data back to the CRM system.
    What are the pros and cons of the three upload options?
    Which is the easiest to implement?
    Regards
    Eddie

    Hi,
    Thanks for your replies.
    As per your replies, what i understand is : in the form properties, i have mapped the data source to context node (my data node) and pdfsource to (xstring content). And the template source should be mapped to the form name. Is this so?
    If yes, i have tried this and i m able to see the form now.
    But lets say, if they upload any other form, then this will lead to dump, isnt it ? Since the form template is mapped with a form name.
    In wd java examples,. they mapped it as 'View.Form.xdp', i thought that the template soruce is dynamically gets mapped.
    Any pointers on this, this would help.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe Interactive Forms license fees?

    I'm trying to find out what costs are involved with the custom built IF's. In my company, we've not implemented a real SAP based workflow for converting over all our paper to because it just wasn't 'user friendly' enough, until now with IFs. So part of our needs at this point is to know how much in licenses will we have to pay to implement. My sales team from SAP is taking a little too long to get any licensing costs to me and I'm really interested more whether we're talking $10USD per custom form, $1000USD, 50,000USD or is it per user that would use the form or what. If there's a model to determine the cost, that would be even better. We have mySAP Business Suite and for our initial usage, we'd be talking about 3000 users that might touch a form in a workflow. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Jonathan,
    I can shed some light on your question.
    If you look at the last <a href="http://sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/uuid/2a8a0a37-0301-0010-f794-aecd1bb426e0">FAQ on Interactive Forms</a> , you can see the cases where licenses will apply. These are basically custom-developed interactive forms, or SAP-delivered interactive forms that you as a customer add interactive elements to.
    The licensing scheme relates the number of form templates in a production system to the potential number of end users filling in the generated PDF. The smallest 'package' comprises up to 30 templates and up to 500 users.
    While there are general global pricing guidelines for Interactive Forms licensing, I cannot reveal any figures as pricing is handled exclusively by the SAP local organizations. This information is communicated exclusively by your SAP sales contact.

  • Migrating PCR frontend-JSP forms to Adobe interactive forms-WD Abap Comp

    Hi All,
    We are currently on Netweaver 7.0 & ECC 6.0 and ESS - MSS Business Package 50.4. We are using JSP Forms on portal front for Personnel Change Requests (PCR's ) where in all the scenarios in the backend are heavily customized with good amount of usage of Javascripts. For certain scenarios, where in a huge amount of information is fetched from ECC 6.0 backend system, JSP are performing really bad and the total time taken to display the form is actually causing a lot of irritation to the end user.
    We are planning to propose an upgrade to SAP adobe interactive forms. The prerequisite is that the business wants to reuse all the customized scenarios without any changes and just want to move towards better front end forms.
    My questions are:
    1. Please list benefits of SAP Adobe interactive forms - ABAP component over JSP forms (performance wise)
    2. Issues with SAP Adobe Interactive forms?
    3. Since Javascripts do not work in Webdynpro ABAP. How can we implement those front end checks and validations.
    3. Any other options available for UI that can be suggested?
    All suggestions are welcome. Quick response is appreciated.
    Thanks a lot for your time and help.
    Best Regards,
    Anupama

    Is your performance issue with the Javascript with JSP pages?  or the Java script you are using within the Adobe form in your WDJ custom application using Adobe form? I have worked on PCR's using ISR framework old school it used to call as PCR and now HCM Processes and form, Developed PCR's using WDJ also integrated workflow with the WDJ PCR for approval(we never had any performance issue) infact ISR frame work was kind of slow compare to custom WDJ solution and less flexible for a developer to develop.
    I have also worked created WDA custom application for PCR's , WDA is definitely better when you compare it with WDJ but I have not seen much performance issue with WDJ atleast on custom PCR solutions.
    I don't have any case study to share with you, can you please tell what kind of PCR's your client is using and what kind of performance issue you are experiencing and where and why you guys are using Javascript.

  • Adobe Interactive Form is displayed in Read Only mode

    Hi All,
    I created Adobe Interactive Form in SFP.
    The following properties are set to the form.
    Layout Type -ZCI Layout
    Preview Type - Interactive Form
    XDP Preview Format - Acrobat 7.0.5 Dynamic PDF
    In PDF preview tab, I can enter data into the Text Fields.
    I added this form in a web dynpro ABAP application using Interactive Form UI element.
    The following properties are set to the UI element.
    DataSource - bound to the context
    displayType - native
    enabled - checked
    templateSource - Formname
    readonly - unchecked.
    When I run this application, the form is displayed in readonly mode.
    I can't enter any data into the text field.
    Any of you guys know that how to resolve this?
    Thanks
    Thruna

    Hi,
    I already face the same issue and after several days working on this issue and many hours on debugging it seems that interface type is very important if you want to use the form in WD4A (this requirement is confirmed by SAP thru an OSS message for me )
    Does the interface based on DDIC or XML ?
    If it's a DDIC interface , sorry that can't works in WD4A as interactive forms. You must define the interface as based on XML for this .
    Hope this help you.
    PS : Finally ,as my forms was very complicated my customer decide to not make it available in WD4A .....

  • GP and WD with Adobe Interactive form question - need some guidance.

    Hello experts,
    FYI, I'm running ECC 5.0 Support Stack 9, EP 7.0 SPS 11, NWDS 2.0.9_15 with Adobe Livecyle Designer.
    I am slightly stuck with what I'm trying to do. I have created a web dynpro application that has an Adobe interactive form. I'm trying to use guided procedures to initiate a process so that this interactive form can be filled out and submitted to an approver. I need the relevant parties to receive a notification email. I have setup email templates and services, I just need to know how it will fit into the process. Once approved in the process, a BAPI should be invoked to populate some fields in the form. Should I be creating the Web Dynpro application to invoke the bapi or should a guided procedure callable object invoke the bapi? I know how to do these things, but I dont know which method I should use, in order to correctly have this process flow from point A - point B. Should the process appear in the Universal Worklist? If not, why not? Will it only appear in the GP runtime? I have pretty much read thru most of the tutorials but still cannot get this GP stuff to work as a WHOLE process.
    Any guidance, suggestions, possible solutions will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Kunal.

    Hi,
    It seems you have not activated the Composite Form object. Only after activation you will be able to use it to create a Callable Object of type composite form.
    Hope this helps,

  • Adobe Interactive Forms without Web Dynpro and ACF???

    Hi All, we would like to build an interactive forms solution based on the Adobe software integrated into WAS. However, the customer requires a true thin client application with no additional installation on the client. Integrating Adobe Interactive Forms into Web DynPro however requires the Active Component Framework (ACF) to be installed since these forms are integrated into the page within an ActiveX container.
    So the question is whether there is a way to use Adobe Interactive forms including the Adobe Documents Service within WAS but without(!) using Web Dynpro?(the full blown Adobe LifCycle Forms solution is not an option). Any suggestions on this are highly appreciated!
    Tanks!
    Frodo

    Hello everyone,
    I would like to add a couple of points from the SAP Product Management perspective.
    Adobe has a number of stand-alone products that are the foundation for what SAP can now offer thanks to our partnership. This is exactly why we decided on a partnership that provides us with established technology, which is now integrated.
    It is true that Web Dynpro is the main SAP way of integrating the interactive functions of the solution. We made this decision consciously, because the development and run-time environments provide very useful features that reduce the need for manual coding, such as the possibility of passing the data back to the backend using the Web Dynpro context. The automatism we offer here needs to be implemented from scratch with any other solution, including the Adobe stand-alone one.
    While it is true that the ACF constitutes a certain limitation for the reasons you mention, Adobe will remedy this in 2005. The Reader/Web Dynpro integration will be available later this year for multiple platforms (OS, browsers) and will not require ACF anymore.
    If you do not want to use a full-blown Web Dynpro application for your concrete scenario, consider developing an application that provides nothing but the interactive PDF form to the end user, to be filled in using the stand-alone Reader. The submit of the form data (with or without the PDF itself) could then happen via HTTP or e-mail.
    Kind regards,
