Guided Procedures Output Parameter and ABAP Web Dynpro

Hello,
does anybody know a way to use output parameters in Guided Procedures for ABAP web dynpros? It seems that this is only possible for JAVA based web dynpros.
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
the use of WDA with GP is restricted, see the [documentation|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/c0d14601430039e10000000a11466f/frameset.htm]

No editable form fields in ABAP Web Dynpro

Hi,
I created a form with layout type ZCI. The interface type is "ABAP Dictionary-Based Interface".
This form I embedded in a abap web dynpro component.
In the ABAP WD interactive form element I marked the enabled property.
Unfortunately the displayed form fields are not editable.
When I use a interface of type "XML-Schema-Based Interface" the fields are editable.
Is this a bug or is something missing?
I am using Live Cycle Designer 8.1 and SAP_BASIS 7.0, EHP 2, SP07
Thank you and best regards,
Eddy

Hi Eddy,
In your Interface, you probably have to pass the "Fillable" flag in your importing /1BCDWB/DOCPARAMS structure.
I've developed many forms over the past few years and have learned that when using web dynpro, it's almsot exclusiely easier to use the XML-based schema than DDIC.
The only time I'm using DDIC instead of XML when in WDA, is because I'm having to pass in rich text formatted objects through a Text Node.

Adobe Flex 4 with ABAP web dynpro

I currently am working with Flex 3 but wanted few features of Flex 4 for my project. Is there any way that I can use Flex 4 with ABAP web dynpro. I have tried using the 'Use Flex 3 compatibility mode' with 'merged into code' but this does not work. There is no data transfer happening. I see in the forums that this is not possible but all the posts are one year old. Just wanted to check if any new method is availabe.
Kindly help.

Hello,
Flex 4 versions of the Islands SWC libraries were delivered via Support Packages(See Note 1614265).

I have developed a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro. The form has several fields and some of the information is captured in a bar code. What programs must be used to open the form to properly fill the form out? Adobe Reader, Adobe Xi, Ibook, etc.. I

I have created a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro that contains several data fields with some feeding data to a barcode in the document. I have a "button" set up to save and send the completed form one it is completed. Some of the user are having troubles filling out the form as they are using various programs to do such as iBook, Adobe Reader, etc.... Sometimes the information is not transferred to the barcode and sometimes the "submittal button" doesn't function properly.
Please provide a solution or give me a list of the programs that must be used to properly open and fill out the form.
Greatly appreciated.

Best option is to use Adobe Reader (or Acrobat, of course) on a desktop computer (ie, not on a mobile device). Any other configuration is likely to be problematic.

How to use Adobe forms in ABAP

Hello Everybody,
I have used Adobe forms in webdynpro applications. Now, i want to use adobe forms in ABAP stack. Please provide me steps and guidelines to develop Adobe forms in ABAP.
What should be the infrastructure needed for that?
Thanks in Advance,
Bhavik

Hi Bhavik,
there is extensive documentation on creating PDF-based forms for printing in ABAP Workbench (transaction SFP) on the SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d2/4a94696de6429cada345c12098b009/frameset.htm.
The infrastructure is identical (ADS on Java Engine) except that you need an ABAP backend (minimum 6.40) and the corresponding SAP GUI. You also need to create an HTTP connection from your ABAP system to the ADS in transaction SM59 (see ADS Configuration Guide).
Your Adobe LiveCycle Designer installation from the NWDS should be OK, if you are working on the same frontend. (If you have difficulties with Designer, uninstall it and install it with the SAP GUI again).
Note that Web Dynpro for ABAP integration is only supported as of NetWeaver 2004s (going into ramp-up with mySAP ERP 2005 this month), which means that interactive scenarios are more cumbersome to implement in ABAP with NetWeaver 04.
Some of the things you get with the Web Dynpro framework (such as the return of data in interactive scenarios via the WD context) would need to be manually coded when working in SFP, which was designed for output forms.
Hope this helps,

Using adobe forms in SAP HR ABAP EHP7

Hi All,
I am aware that ADS is used in adobe forms display and designing, but I just wanted to know if we can use adobe forms just to display payslips in PDF as SAP releases HR forms only to be designed using Form builder and not smart forms which in turn can be designed by Adobe life cycle designer only.
Please recommend the method to use Adobe forms in ABAP stack if there is any possibility.

Why can't I create Fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and upload to Dreamweaver?

I can create fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I can email them to someone using Adobe Reader (free) and they can fill them, save and email to me. But when I upload the form to Dreamweaver CS5, the form is not fillable. And yes, I saved it as a Reader Extended PDF-Enable Additional Features.

I see no reason for this form to fail in Reader. Some questions for you.
1. On the system with Adobe Reader, what is the system and the version of Adobe Reader?
2. Are you viewing the PDF in a browser on the system with Reader, or in an Adobe Reader window?
3. If it's a browser
(a) what is the browser
(b) if you download the file instead, and open directly in Reader, what happens?

I am trying to convert a PDF into a document that can be edited - it's a client feedback form. I am using Adobe forms Central and it's saying that it can't use my document.

Hi Michelle ,
We are extremely sorry that you have had a bad experience with Adobe .
As far as your issue is concerned ,Acrobat generally prompts for internet connection as it is required to activate the product before you could use it comfortably .Once the product is activated or licensed you would be able to use the software offline .
This could be the possible reason you are experiencing this .Please check if you have done so and still facing this .And if you have not ,you need to license/activate your product by typing in your credentials ,i.e Adobe ID and password .
You could also refer the following link to get updated about the activation of your product .

ECC 6.0 and using Adobe forms in Output

Hello,
We're moving to ECC 6.0.
Is there a driver program for Invoicing that would allow us to use adobe forms
as output from within S/D e.g. (from txn VF03 for a invoice).
Scenario:
We have a custom SAPScript invoice that we would like to consider rewriting as an Adobe form. I've created an equivalent Adobe form and now I'm investigating a way to integrate it with the standad Output Determination.
From txn SPRO, under Sales and Distribution>Basic Functions>Output Control>
   Output Determination>Maintain Output Detemination for Billing Documents>
   Maintain Output Types
   Select output type ZRD0
   Select processing routines from the left pane.
   There is a choice of selecting Smartform or PDF as the type.
   There is a smartforms driver program RLB_INVOICE.
Question:
   Is there an equivalent driver program or sample driver program for Adobe forms?
Regards,
Lavaughn

Hi,
Did you check in transaction SFP what are the form available in your system ?
Also , check in the standard print program if it has been adapt to use Adobe Forms instead of smartforms because it's not the same FM used .

Adding Barcode to Adobe Form using Adobe LifeCycle Designer

I am hoping someone can help me. I have created a PDF form and have added 2 3-of-9 barcodes to the form using Adobe LifeCycle Designer version 8.0. I see the barcodes when I prin tthe form from Adobe but when I run my web page to print out the form using pdf, only the default value shows on the printed form, no tthe barcode as expected? Do I need some other software?
Thanks in advance

Hi Vasu,
Yes you can add fonts on ADS.
Adobe document services require access to fonts that are installed with the Font Manager Module. This module contains a number of Adobe bundled fonts installed in
"/usr/sap/<SAPSID>/JC<xx>/j2ee/os_libs/adssap/FontManagerService/fonts/adobe".
You can also add fonts obtained from other vendors. The types of fonts you can add are OpenType® (.otf), TrueType® (.ttf), and PostScript® Type 1 (.pfb/.pfm).
Procedure
To add fonts:
1. Create a subdirectory called fonts below the
"/usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/global/AdobeDocumentServices/ FontManagerService" directory.
Enter JC<xx> if your system is a SAP Web AS J2EE system.
Enter DVEBMGS<xx> if your system is a SAP Web AS ABAP + J2EE system (J2EE Add-In).
2. Create a subdirectory called customer below the fonts/ directory created in the previous step.
3. Copy your fonts into the "/usrsap/<SAPSID>/SYS/global/AdobeDocumentServices/ FontManagerService/fonts/customer" directory.
4. Restart the Document Services Font Manager for the changes to take effect.
5. Also restart the application com.adobe/AdobeDocumentServices for the changes to take effect.
