Displaying a PDF form output in another Static PDF form

Hi ,,
I have developed a PDF form in Web Dynpro. The form is Working fine.
Now i want that after pressing the button "Submit" it should Navigate to the Next View(Display) and Displays the Output in PDF form(Static).
Is it possible to do this??
In short is it possible to have two views containing PDF forms in the same application and is navigation possible between them?
Regards
Pranay

hi,
Create the data source for both views and map Interactiveform UI element
And you can give the plugs in as usual.
thanks,
Lohi.

Merging Smartform Output and Adobe Form Output in a single PDF File

Hi All,
My Requirement is as follows -
I have multiple Smartforms and a single Adobe Form.
I want to merge the Smartform Outputs and Adobe Form output in a single PDF.
I am able to merge multiple Smartform Output in a PDF , but not able to find any way to merge smartform and adobe form output as the Smartform output is in OTF Format and Adobe form output is in PDF Format itself.
I have tried few ways , but could not find any success.
Request you all to give me some direction to this problem.
Thanks & Regards
Bhavika

Kumar,
I am afraid this is not possible using SAP functionality. There are probably 3rd party tools which allow you to merge several PDFs into one, but SAP itself does not offer such a mechanism. There is an internal SAP function, though, which can merge several "parts" (=several PDFs) within an Adobe-created spool request into a single PDF, intended for downloading this PDF from SP01.
This is described in note 1717357.
Best regards,
Alexander

PDF Published Output and Links to PDF Files?

All
I have a PDF I have published from Captivate. The Captivate file has links to other PDFs within it. When I click on these links within the PDF output from Captivate the files do not open. If I click on the links from the SWF version of the published file the links do open the files that are supposed to open. I am using relative path names. Is this functionality not supported in the PDF output? If it is can someone let me know what I might be doing wrong?

Hmmm, typically a PDF is sort of a "hermetically sealed" document. Likely the SWF inside the PDF is looking for other PDF files that simply aren't included inside the sealed PDF the SWF is inside of.

How to make a PDF form call Web service and return a static pdf for user to print?

Hi all,
Can anyone help me regarding the feasibility of using PDF forms for my following case?
I would like to create a Dynamic pdf form. User only have the Acrobat reader. they can enter some information. Then have a submit button. when user click the submit button, it can call the web service with data. then Web service returns a Static PDF document based on data and the user can print it out. (and maybe save as separate pdf file)
1. Is that possible to implement? Because I know PDF can call web service, but dont know how it handle when the webservice returns another static PDF document. could it able to handle the responds and open up in another acrobat reader?
2. As I understand I need to have Live Cycle Designer to create a pdf and make it Reader Enabled. So user can user reader to call webservice? am I correct?
3. What minimum reader that user need to have? PDF reader 7 or above?
4. I have a webservice serve the same purpose for web. But if I want the same web services can serve both web and PDF form. So, whatever client (PDF or Web)make the web service call, server returns the PDF document to client. Is that possible ? Do I need to make any changes on web service?
5. Do I need to get any other Adobe server product? (other than Live Cycle Designer )
Thanks a lot

We have done a similar approach in the past and yes, it can be doable.
1. Is that possible to implement? Because I know PDF can call web service, but dont know how it handle when the webservice returns another static PDF document. could it able to handle the responds and open up in another acrobat reader?
Srini: We have developed a Servlet to talk to Webservice. Based on the Webservice response, the Servlet, prepares the Byte stream and sends it to Webbrowser to display as a PDF. The PDF data was submitted to Servlet in XML format.
But if you do not want to use the above approach, then you have to use the Workbench Process.
Submit the PDF data to a Workbench process and the inside process, execute Webservice Service with the data. Once the response is received, prepare the data XML and render a PDF with it.
To do this, you need LiveCycle Server and Reader Extensions server component.
2. As I understand I need to have Live Cycle Designer to create a pdf and make it Reader Enabled. So user can user reader to call webservice? am I correct?
Srini: If you want to use the Servlet, you can Reader extend the PDF with Acrobat.. But if you want to submit the data directly to Webservice, then you need Reader Extensions server component.
3. What minimum reader that user need to have? PDF reader 7 or above?
Srini: Not sure but Reader 8 and above should work.
4. I have a webservice serve the same purpose for web. But if I want the same web services can serve both web and PDF form. So, whatever client (PDF or Web)make the web service call, server returns the PDF document to client. Is that possible ? Do I need to make any changes on web service?
Srini: If you use the Servlet approach, then you can re-use the same webservice. But if you want to submit directly to the same webservice, you may need to change it to suit your data XML.
5. Do I need to get any other Adobe server product? (other than Live Cycle Designer )
Srini: If you use the Servlet approach, you do not need any server component but other approach, you need Livecycle Server and Reader Extensions server component.
Thanks

Is there a way to merge Static PDF files and PDF Forms

Hi All,
The issue I am facing is this: 1200+ PDF forms that employees
will need to sign. The docs are being created in MS Word, and all
have a standard signature block. We have prototyped using LiveCycle
Designer 8 to add fields to static PDF files (print Word files into
Acrobat, import into LiveCycle and paste in fields) but this is
pretty labor-intensive to use with a minimum of 1200 forms per
quarter.
The employee forms go into a CF8/Oracle library app (stored
as BLOBs) and served up for 7,000 or so employees to sign. Posted
data goes back into database.
Here is the issue:
Does anyone know any way to use some combination of cfpdf /
cfpdfform / cfdocument that will allow us to create ONE generic
signature block form, 1200 static PDF files, and merge them on the
fly?
<cfdocument> apparently does not allow PDF data to be
included with a <cfpdfform>, as I have tried outputting PDF
variables, toBinary(PDF variable), PDF served by <cfcontent>
and various other combinations.
(If the non-form data were HTML, we could easily output in a
<cfdocumentsection> of the cfdocument, and add the
<cfpdfform source="#genericForm#" action="populate"> and be
done with it. But, we can't.)
<cfpdf action="merge"> with a combination of a static
PDF file and a populated form results in a flattend PDF file with
no form data.
I am acutely aware that LiveCycle 8 uses the XFA schema, and
regular PDF documents use a different schema. And, this may
prohibit what we want to do.
If anyone has experience with CF8 PDFs and PDF forms, or has
any helpful thoughts, I would be appreciatively gross. Needless to
say, this is a six month project that must be live at the end
November.
Thanks!

As I mentioned on the other thread, the forms need to be
flattened. CFPDF cannot flatten LiveCycle forms, only Acrobat
Forms. The suggested solution was to use LiveCycle ES

Insert PDF with Flash into another PDF and it does not display.

When attempting to insert an Adobe Acrobat file with flash elements into another Adobe Acrobat file, the latter will not display the file on screen. Instead it shows this message "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later." Please help.

Yes I would have thought so. Adobe Acrobat and Reader have the ability to view flash content items however this is not the case. I will explain step by step what I am doing. I have done this for years before and I have recently formatted my computer and had to reinstall the software.
Here is a little background information:
System:
Windows 7 Professional 64bit
AMD-FX 4100 Quad Core CPU
8GB RAM
250GB free on HDD
Software Installed:
Adobe Acrobat X Pro
Adobe Reader XI
Adobe Flash 17.0.0.134
Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010
Steps taken:
Open Outlook
Select a few messages
Click on Convert to Adobe PDF
Save the new file "toInsert.pdf"
Open "main.pdf" file
Click and drag "toInsert.pdf" file from desktop into the thumbnail area of the "main.pdf" file to insert.

Is it possible to have a PDF Form that is both static and dynamic?

So I have a form that I need to make that would consist of two different pages. The first being lots of form fields and some simple graphics where the user could use the comment markup tools to draw some simple lines. The second page would be all text and filling out narrative. So the second page being dynamic and being able to expand would be important. The first page would not need to expand at all. Is there any way to do this and still have the form be one file, one document? What about embedding a dynamic form inside of the static form? Such as how you can embed a word document inside of an excel form... I've done some research but I can't tell if this is even possible. Thanks in advance.

Yeah I kinda figured that... Really too bad. Seems lke it should be possible somehow. Anyway, do you all have any suggestions about the best way to combine a static form that is really just text fields and such (that comments and markup tools can be used in) with another page that is sections of narrative that would need to be able to flow?
Or better yet, a way to draw lines on to a form without using the comment and markup function?
I like your idea about connecting two forms - but I need to keep the final product as simple as possible. Once the user fills it out, they would be to be able to submit it and it show up as one file, even if that is just a flat file. I don't expect you all to tell me how to do this, but it would be nice to know its possible before I commit to the project and research. Thanks in advance.

Need to pre-populate and Extract data from static PDF form

Hi Jasmin or Jayan or anyone else that can answer.
I have a requirement to use Digital Signatures. Because of that, the forms must be static PDFs and the form variables will be “document form”. I want to pre-populate the form via an SQL query and custom render process and render it as PDF so that the submitter can apply a digital signature when he/she is done and ready to submit for approvalSubsequent approvers will also digitally sign the form. I know that I will specify the custom render to render only once and thereby preserve the signature(s) on the form. I do, however, need to extract data from the form to control the business process. I cannot access the data in the form the same way I do with an xdp and I also cannot pre-populate the same way I do with an xdp.
Any suggestions on how to attack this?

Parth, one problem with your approach is he will submit PDF and therefore you won't be able to put the PDF in a variable that's suppose to contain just xml.
The prepopulation should be the same. If you start off with an xdp, then you will call a render service that merges data with your xdp to create a PDF.
Now when you submit, you will submit the entire PDF back in the Document Form variable. In Workbench, you can use the FormDataIntegration service to extract data from that PDF that's being stored under Document Form var/object/document and put it in an xml variable. Then you can just use xPath to do your condition.
I'm assuming you'll just pass that same Document Form variable to the next step, because if you do any change to the PDF it'll brake the signature.
Let me know if I missed anything.
Jasmin

Data connection, static PDF form, and presence

I've created a form with a dynamically populated dropdown of names. To get it populated, one step was to save it as a static PDF form. Then it worked perfectly. However, I soon found that my scripts to show hide elements no longer worked. Certain Action Builder actions still worked, but not show/hide. So I created a simple test form, and show/hide worked normally. I've tried both formcalc and javascript. So is it true that a form can be dynamic and all actions work or the form can be static and connect to a database, but a form cannot be both data-driven and change presence?

Thank you for this information, which may be true in theory, but my forms show that only the static form can show external data, and the static form can't change presence at runtime, although other actions (like reset all fields) will work. On the other hand, in a dynamic form, I can change presence, but data will not appear in the dynamic dropdown, which is grabbing names from SQL Server. Can you try an experiment yourself? Try a data connection and changing presence in the same form, and let me know what happens.

How to merge static pdf files and dynamic livecycle forms

Hello,
I was wondering if there was a way to merge static pdf pages with a dynamic livecycle form to create one file.
Thanks,
-vargs

Hi, Steve.
I have a similar situation. I would like to combine static PDF documents with some forms created using LiveCycle Designer. I read your previous post and I am aware that I can combine them using Acrobat Pro.
My question concerns accessibility.
If I combine a static PDF document and a dynamic form created with LiveCycle, would the resulting PDF still be accessible enough for JAWS to read it properly?
Any help appreciated.

PDF form output

Apparently you can make a PDF form output. But how did they do this:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/showcase/conmeds_OC_onePage.pdf
Is it possible to make it in such a way that you can save the document including the entered data? If you try to do that now you get an Adobe Reader error.

What I'd really like is to download directly to WORD from sapscript or smartform with logos, boxes intact just like they appear in PDF.
PDF Writer is a possibility, but do you think we could posibly achieve this with standard SAP Function modules:
MS_WORD_OLE_FORMLETTER_PICTURE MS_WORD_OLE_FORMLETTER
If by using this FMs we wouldnt be using the sapscript and smartform technology by pretty much generating these documents over and over again, please confirm...
Danke!
