Data Passing Problem with Adobe Interactive Forms

Hello all,
I am trying to create a Guided Procedure to implement an offline Adobe Interactive form. This form is based on the standard Requisition Request form used in MSS for e-Recruiting.
I've copied the standard form and updated the layout to ZCI using the appropriate transaction (not manually). After that, I've changed the Interface and layout. But to get the Form in the portal you need to have a .xpd file. Therefore, I've tested the form in preview mode, saved a copy as a PDF file and opened this copy in the standalone Adobe Lifecycler Designer. In the standalone version you are able to save the form as a PDF (not possible using transaction SFP).
My question 1 is if this is a wrong approach and there is a better way to retrieve the xpd file.
Next to that, I wrote a RFC function to retrieve data in the backend. This function is working and now I try to pass the data to the Form in the GP (using prefilling). The data is never passed, any points that I need to check there. The data used to export is a structure that contains a number of table types, because Adobe has issues with importing tables it seems. The form is working correctly in the backend.
Points will be rewarded for helpfull awnsers!
Kind regards & thanks in advance...

    Hi Eduard Vilar,
    Go to sfp transaction, open the respective form, enter the transaction 'fb_xdp_down' to import the xdp layout and 'fb_xdp_up' to upload.
    Hope this will hwlp. (i beleive you meant xdp rather than xpd )

  • Problem with adobe interactive form

    Hi everyone,
    Is there another technology to create a form
    that allow calling RFCs from SAP,
    save the form on the local machine,
    update/insert data and do digital signature ?
    Thanks.
    Regards.

    Hi David,
    To create a form that allow calling RFCs from SAP, you can do this using Adobe Interactive Form. This will absolutely work.

  • Problem with ADOBE Interactive forms

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a form which contails fields after dynamic table records. I need to display the signture and other details after I populate the content of the table which is inside my master page. I am calling this form from my se38 program.I have used table type to display the data. Can any body advice me how to do it.
    Regards,
    Srini

    Good mate..
    Follow this design approach bring your table design from master page to the layout
    Form1 ---Form Elements Root node
    |---SubForm_Form2 (Parent form with layout type flowed top - bottom & allow page breaks with in content)
                   |--- Suborm3( layout type fixed)
                            |----------Table.
                   |---Subform4(for your independent field including signature layout type fixed)
                           |------- All the independent fields
    With this approach at all times you will see the table data first followed by your signature fields also the advantage is that even if the table data is spread across more than one page it will automatically move to the next page and will see the signature only once afte completion of this table.
    Does it make sense, let me know if you need more help.
    Cheers,

  • Problems with Adobe Interactive Forms

    Hi,
    I'm working on a report that have a header with two dynamic tables (with fixed rows count) and the body have other two dynamic tables with a large amount of data.
    The first doubt is:
    I put my header on the Master Page, and in the first page of report, the header data appears ok, but when the second page comes, just the data contained in the root node appears in the header. Neither the data contained in a node 1..1 appeared.
    The second doubt is:
    In the report body, I've two dynamic tables with a large amount of data, so, when my table reach the end of the page, I need to add a page break and continue in the next page, adding the column header again. I'm trying to set the "Allow Page Breaks within Content" and "Overflow Leader", but I can't set these properties in a subform of type "Flow Content", flow direction "Table". So, how can i add Page Breaks ?
    Thanks in advance
    []'s

    Perhaps your interpretation of the Master Page is different than mine.  I never put anything but static content in my Master Page.  For instance for the form in my weblog my Master page has a head with a logo and Footer with a page number and some static text. 
    In my Master Page I have single Page that I called MainPage. I then create a Content Area within this MainPage. 
    All of my variable elements go into a separate Page.  I set that entire page object as Flow Content (flow direction Top to Bottom) with Allow Page Breaks within Content marked.  I set the Place to (in Content Area "Name" where Name is the name of the Content Area in the Master Page).  The After is set to Go To Page MainPage(Back to the Master Page Object). 
    With this my paging with tables and Master Page content all work correctly.  I can do page breaks and repeat my table headers, but continue the content normally.  Hopefully this helps.

  • Print problems with Adobe Interactive Forms

    Hello Experts,
    if i push the print preview button or the print button out of transaction SFP, or out of the Test  
    Program FP_TEST_00, then the sandglass appears. But nothing happens.
    can you help me?

    No i can answer my question by myself.
    we have 3 sap-systems printing via one ads-machine.
    the problem was, that the second sap-system was not maintained as a separate destination in visual administrator on the ads.
    so the sap-system could send an request, but got no answer.

  • Need help with Adobe Interactive Form Saving

    Hi Gurus,
    I need your help with Adobe Interactive form saving.
    I have written the code in pre-save event to prompt a message when user didn't enter any value before saving. The form data should not be saved upon clicking save (Just prompt the message and exit form the form). Can u please advice me how to do this.
    Regards,
    Srini

    see the link: http://forms.stefcameron.com/2008/04/
    it says:
    preSave: Failed validations will not prevent the form from being saved however Acrobat/Reader will issue a special warning message, after issuing the validation error message, to inform the user that the validations failed. Iu2019m guessing this is because the user may be saving the form to continue filling it at a later time so the save canu2019t be completely prevented.

  • WebDynpro with Adobe Interactive Forms

    Hello Experts,
    We use Java Webdynpro with Adobe Interactive forms. We have 2 local development components. In the first development component we create a PDF and mail that PDF to client. De mode we used for PDF creation in 'UpdateDataInPdf'.
    The client fills out the PDF and send it back to office by mail.
    The second development components reads the mailbox and displays the PDF. The mode for this PDF display is 'UsePDF'. We use a PDF utility to transfer the data from PDF to the context. We can change the data in the PDF but is not reflected in the context. How can I fix this.

  • ISR with Adobe Interactive Forms: java.io.FileNotFoundException

    Dear SDN readers,
    I am currently working on an ISR with Adobe Interactive Forms project, and I must say that I find the configuration rather complex, however until now I kept making progress.
    Now I've come to the next error given by webdynpro, when testing the scenario from the testbutton in transaction QISRSCENARIO:
    java.io.FileNotFoundException:
    .\temp\webdynpro\public\sap.com\pcui_gp~isr\webdynpro\
    Components\com.sap.pcui_gp.isr.isrprocessevent.showform.
    VcISRShowForm\
    ..\..\sap.com\pcui_gp~isr\IsrForm\
    ~wd_key18_1135844968237\unknown.pdf 
    ... <i>(some more info)</i> ... (The system cannot find the path specified)
    Indeed, this path does not exist on our portal. I assume this has something to do with credential files, but since the ADS is running fine from ABAP I cannot see why.
    Has anyone experienced this before, or can someone point me into a direction to look for?
    Thanks in advance and best regards, Hans

    Found it. The problem occurs on the conbination ECC SP8 and Netweaver 13.
    See note 874130, but make sure to read it in German.

  • Binding problem from adobe interactive form to SAP

    Hello All,
    I'm using SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio 2.0.9 SAP WAS 2004s SP11.
    I'm tried to exercise with document "How To…Create Online and Offline Forms in Web Dynpro for Java" (you can check it this link https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/4fd2d690-0201-0010-de83-b4fa0c93e1a9). I could run it succesfuly but i have a problem. I couldn't get data from Adobe Interactive form when i click "Submit to SAP" button. All field value return with "null".
    The code is like that;
    public void onActionFormSubmit(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
        //@@begin onActionFormSubmit(ServerEvent)
         String name = wdContext.currentTravelDataElement().getEmployeeName();

    What could be the problem?

    hi Selcuk,
    check what is the cardinality of the node that bound to the interactive form.
    interactive form->properties->dataSource = <xyz node of context>
    goto <xyz node of context> -> properties
    just change the cardinality to 1..1.
    goto
    interactive form->properties...
    check that the dataSource and pdfSource are bound to the right Context nodes/attributes...
    hope this helps...

  • Iview from webDynpro ABAP with Adobe interactive form

    Hi gurus.
    Can I make an iview from a webDynpro ABAP that generates an Adobe Interactive Form, and generate this form from the portal as well?
    thanks in advanced,
    Dieuba

    Chintan thanks for your reply.
    Using Adobe Cycler Designer you can design an interactive Form (fields to be filled by the client, buttons, etc.) and you can integrate this with webDynpros ABAP and JAVA. I want to make an iview that connects with this webDynpro and also generates this form to be filled by the user, so it can send the data back to the sap system.

  • Loadrunner / ecatt with adobe interactive forms

    Has anyone tried either eCATT or loadrunner with an Adobe interactive form inside of a webdynpro app yet? We are getting ready to, but won't be ready for about 2 - 3 weeks. Any advice or comments would be appreciated.
    bkpf

    Hello Brenda,
    yes, we've tested eCATT with interactive forms. It works so far, but the question is what is the goal of your test?
    Using eCATT ADS, the application, and the business logic behind is tested. If that is your goal, using eCATT is an appropriate solution.
    Regarding Loadrunner-Tests I'm not the expert. But within the solution an ActiveX does posts to the server using encoded URLs. So there are several problems:
    - is loadrunner able to record those posts?
    - is loadrunner able to modify URL parameters dependend on the current session?
    - is loadrunner able to use the response of such a post and dynamically adapt a post parameter of the subsequent post?
    So I think it is at least very difficult and complex to use loadrunner. I recommend eCATT as the solution for automated tests of InteractiveForms.
    Regards
    Stefan

  • Error while executing WebDynpro Application with Adobe interactive forms.
