Doubt in Interactive form

Hi,
I have created interactive adobe form in webdynpro for ABAP. When i execute the application it is showing PDF in browser. But i could not able to input any value in it. For example, i want to input the name and when we click on submit it should save in customized table.
I have one more doubt, what i need to code in Submit button.
After excuting the application it is showing only HAND TOOL in PDF. I could not able to enter anything in the input field.

the way you are saying it...
everything seems alright !!!
i guess one possible reason can be...
THAT MAYBE UR CREDENTIAL FILE HAS EXPIRED.
go to the SAP's j2ee engine, and check the expiry date of the credential file...
if it is expired, you know whats wrong...
NOW IF IT IS THE CREDENTIALS THAT HAVE EXPIRED
and u need this urgently then just change the date of the server and ur machine to a date previous to the expiry date
BUT it would be better if you ask your administrator and get the proper liscensed versions of the ceredentials etc installed to ensure that everything works smoothly.
regards.

Doubts on interactive adobe forms regarding validations

Can we apply validation logic to an interactive Adobe form?
Regards
Cheenangshuk Das

Yes you can do.
U can do either in Interface -- Initilization part or if u r using webdynpro abap for interactive form, u can do validation in method i.e once the user enters the data and hit the button present in the screen, u can do validation in the method which u call for button i.e method which get triggered once the button is clicked.

WebDynpro ActiveX Button in Interactive form- not working in IE

Hi,
1) I am working with Interactive forms in WebDynpro. When I deploy the application, the PDF form is opens in a browser window, But the WebDynpro ActiveX button ( to call a method in view Controller) is not working.
When I copy the URL and try in another sysetm, its working.
I hope the probelem is with the browser settings.
2) And also, the 'https' URLs does not work properly in my IE.
Can you give me a solution for these problems?
Thanks,
Prabhakar.

Hi Prabhakar,
I doubt this is anything to do with the browser. Please let me know if you have already installed SAP Active Control Framework on your desktop.
I think this might be an issue. Also check for Adobe Reader version in both the machine.

Use of pdfSource in Interactive Forms in webdynpro

hi,
please let me know the use of "<b>pdfSource</b>" property while designing the Interactive form in webdynpro. i tried with and without creating the pdfSource property in my application and still there were no errors while deploying it.
Thanks
Regards
Poojith M V

Hello Poojith M V,
Let me answer your query in a little bit more details. The statement first: An interactive form can be rendered with or without a pdfSource attribute.
But there are significant differences in the way they work and the application is designed. When you have the pdfSource bound to a context attribute of type binary, you do a PDF interchange between the browser and the server. The whole point is that you will always have the latest PDF document (binary) available in that context attribute on the server and you can make use of this binary PDF to do anything your apllication requires (saving it onto the file system, storing it into the database, performing some other operations on the server, email it etc etc etc).
Now, the other side of it, when you do not have the pdfSource bound to a context attribute, only XML exchange happens in between the browser and the server. Well, that means you only have the latest XML data available on the server at any point in time and since you have not bound the pdfSource, you do not have the binary PDF available to you through the context. There are ways you can get it but not through the context and not the latest one. It would still contain the initial data it had in the first request response cycle as you have not updated the PDF after that.
Now, the question is, which one to use ? It completly depends on your application requirements. There are certain functionalities which are not possible without having the latest PDF binary in hand. For example, you want to apply a digital signature on the document, you want to add an attachment on the document etc. But, then in most of the scenarios, the application would just need to exchange data between the client and the server (and vice versa) and do not worry about the binary PDF. That is the ideal case when you need not bind the pdfSource. It will be faster as well.
Hope that clarifies your doubt to certain extent. Go ahead and start with you interactive form application.

Krish

Is it possible to create Adobe Interactive form in ECC 5.0 IDES using WDA?

Hi every body,
I am trying to create an adobe interactive form in ECC 5.0 IDES using Web Dynpro for ABAP. But I am facing some configuration problems. My doubt here is -> "Is it possible to create abobe interactive forms in ECC 5.0 IDES using Web Dynpro for ABAP ?"
Please help me out.
thanks in advance,
best regards,
naveen.

Hi Naveen,
ECC 5.0 is NW04 - not NW04s so you don't have WDA at all as you should be able to see from e.g. it not appearing in the list of possible programming objects in transaction SE80.
You'd need ECC 6.0.
Double-check your SAP_BASIS release in menu System > Status > Component Information. If it says 6.40 then that's no good... you need to be on 7.00.
You can still use Java WebDynpro with ECC 5.0 of course.

Webdynpro + Adobe Interactive Form + Web Service

Hello Experts,
Can you please provide me the useful solutions for the below mentioned issues.
I created a Webdynpro with one view .Kept the adobe interactive form on the view by binding the structure with all my fields to the data source. And one webservice is linked to this form by keeping one submit button on the form. Iam sending the entire data filled on the form to the webservice as importing structure which is binded to the DATA SOURCE of the View in the Webdynpro. Now my questions are,
1.Among these fields,i have a list box (can select multiple values from the list). Iam pasing the values to this list box from the Webdynpro with out changing the TYPE of field in the structure. But all the selected values of list box should be available in the web service. how is it possile?. The importing structure contains the TYPE of that field as a data element and not a TABLE TYPE.
2. How to make the borders of the field in red color in run time. (like it comes for mandatory fields initially).
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ram.

Hi,
But now, my doubt is "How to know the list of values selected in the list box to concatenate using scripting in th Adobe form it self? "
For list box which is multiselect, when you say this.rawValue you get a arraylist, i believe separated by "\n" which mean newline on the form and separated by # when it reaches to SAP.
And also, regarding border color. The suggested logic is not changing the color of the border of the field. Instead it is giving additional border in specified color. But, Is it not possible to change the actual border color instead of adding additional borders with other color
You feel like aditional border because the field is an input type which has emboss effect to look, you can change the appearance of the file from palletes/windos>object>field-->appearance dropdown, just say it to none and alter the type field in Value tab from user entered optional to readonly you will see the difference.
Let me know if this suffice you.
Cheers,
Sai

Data Persistence in workflows triggered through interactive forms.

I have read through all the threads regarding Data persistence and do understand that form data is stored in xml format. I still have the following doubt:
For all the custom workflows we are developing for this client (using Adobe interactive forms as the UI in the workflows) we want to have local data persistence. Is there a model which covers data collected through the forms, including those data that are retrieved from SAP at the beginning of the workflow, and those data that are manually entered by the forms user?
Scenario : <b>cost xx - approver 1
cost xx + 1 - approver 2
Form data filled, cost xx and hence a email goes to approver 1.
Now, details changes and cost for that sales order increases to xx + 1.</b>
Will my email still be in the inbox of approver 1?
What if I want data persistence where from the initiation to the end of workflow the data should be persisted irrespective of the changes.
Thanks,
Kavitha

Hello Kavitha,
Your workitem will stay where it is unless you've specifically modelled it to react to a change. In standard purchasing you would use a change event triggered from ME22N or the likes, but unfortuantely I'm not in depth familiar with Adobe Forms so I don't know what happens when data is changed on a form once the WF has started.
However if you want data to remain constant throughout the life of the WF then I'd suggest binding it to a WF container when the doc is first created and then working with that value.
Hope that helps,
Mike

How to integrate Flashisland for Adobe interactive forms

Hi Experts,
Can you please help us in understanding how to integrate Flashisland with adobe interactive forms?
We need to add swf file in the interactive forms, which will be used in webdynpro abap application.
Any idea will be helpful for us.
Thanks for the support.
Regards
Sathish

Hi Sathish,
You can not add swf file in interactive form, however you can integrate you flash island with web dynpro ABAP application.
Adobe flash island and adobe interactive form are two different things and have different purposes.
You can have adobe flash island and adobe interactive form in a single WD application(even as part of the same screen), but still there will be integration on the data level not on UI level. The UI elements for both will react separately from each other and there can't be any integration of adobe flash island inside adobe form.
However you can develop a flash application using which you can view adobe interactive form similar to adobe reader and use this flash application as part of your WD ABAP application but that doesn't make any sense as without flash island we can show it in WD ABAP view.
I hope this will clear your doubt.

WEBDYNPRO ADOBE INTERACTIVE FORMS INTERNAL TABLE BINDING

Hello Firends,
I have created one table in the WebDynpro Program with Context NODE_RESULT having Cardinality 0...n in the View ADOBE_VIEW. In this view I have created the Interactive Form and specified the properties: data source as NODE_RESULT, Template Source as Z_XX_ADOBE_FORM.
Also I have made an supply function for the context NODE_RESULT as GET_RESULT.
In the Supply Function I have used the BAPI to fill the contents of Internal table (itab_data). And have binded the itab_data using node->bind_elements... (ALSO Tried node->bind_table...).
Also I have coded the HANDLE_IN method.
Here the point is that I can see the table in the interactive form layout and have successfuly binded all the elements and when I have tested the form, the Adobe form is showing the blank table. i.e. it is showing up only the design of table, not the internal table values what I have binded.
I have made every check like ADS is working fine as I can run the Interactive form through the ABAP program (i.e. through se38, where the form is allowing me to save the data in the PDF).
Have installed the ACF.
Also checked that the form is XML based schema and it Generated.
Here everything is fine but I am unable to bind the internal table from webdynpro to Adobe Interative form.
Friends plz help me in resolving this issue.
Thanking You
Regards
Pradeep Goli

Hi Vaibhav,
Sorry for replying late.. I have done debugging on the node and found values are being populated to the internal table which i have created, and also as you said i have dragged the node and found the table icon is appearing and in form object pallette of that table the poperty of binding is "....[*]" is also creating but the vvalues are not being reflected to the PDF output.
Also i have tried many approaches like first creating the form and then creating the webdynpro program and by linking the form to the wendunprro. But the result is same i.e. no values are being found in output.
But i have a doubt that what are the system requirements to get this binding done properly. i.e. I am using Netweaver 2004 with SPS release 7 and Adobe 8 and ACF is being installed in the system. And also I can see the values if I am using the structure but the problem is with table. And I can work with the ABAP ADOBE where if I am coding using se38 and executing the values are excellently displaying in the PDF output(Similar case with interactive forms) Also ADS is properly configured.
Is it compulsary to have SPS GREATER than 8 for NETWEAVER 2004.
Please kindly help me in this regard. Thanking you at the earliest.

Standalone interactive Form-- initiate the GP process.

Dear Experts,
I am trying to initiate a GP process from a standalone offline interactive form on the click of a submit button.I have a few doubts:
1.It is documented that the standlone forms maintain a user session.How can i access the user information from the session?For e.g if i want to know the user ID of the person who submitted the form , how can i do that?I want to map the user submitting the form to the initiator of the process using some background object.
2. Also there's a requirement that default roles be assigned to all the processors of the actions.Can we override this somehow?
I'll appreciate any help.
Thanks,

Interactive form takes 10-15 minutes to open and exhausts system resources.

The version of Livecycle designer am using is 7.1
The interactive form that I designed is taking like 10-15 minutes to open and while its opening, its taking all the system resources as I see a prompt on the task bar besides time/date "Virtual Memory Minimum Too Low".
The tutorial project works fine, the TravelRequest.pdf opens just fine: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/user-interface-technology/wd%20java/wdjava%20archive/offline%20interactive%20pdf%20form%20using%20download.pdf
Would installing version 8.0 solve this ?
I am on NWDS sp18.

a table as there in the webdynpro view.
        I have designed a dynamic table in interactive form and binded the interactive form ui element with the datasource and pdfSource.
In the interactive form i am getting only one row data of webdynpro view table.In the Object palette, I selected Repeat Row For Each Data Item.
       share with me if u have any idea or send any document regarding table binding(dynamic) in interactive form.

ADOBE Interactive Form not getting displayed in Browse

Hi,
Currently I am working on EhP4 project on ECC 6.0 environment. For HCM, We have interactive ADOBE forms for MSS. While testing we found that all buttons are displayed in a browser (we are are window 7 IE 8 ) but interactive form is not getting displayed in the browser (Fill out Form as part of MSS). It only displays a line
Checked ADS configuration as per oss note and works ok. Did HTTPWATCH - browser is getting (GET) the Adobe forms with values but not displaying it. If I copy URL from HTTPWATCH GET line in a separate browser window it displays the form.
Thanks in advance your help.
Regards
Jitendra Pongurlekar

Hey Chris (and others),
We were having this same problem, and this Note fixed the issue (thanks!). However, we are still experiencing another issue with HCM Processes and Forms under EhP4. Before this Note, it took about ten minutes before "single line display" would show up. Now after the Note, we get the full form, but it still takes ten solid minutes of waiting before it appears in the window. We're pretty sure it's not a Portal issue, nor an ADS issue, but something with the web dynpros on the ABAP side. However, we have not yet been able to resolve it. Anyone else run into this performance problem with HCMP&F after upgrading to EhP4? We don't have the problem with EhP3.
Best regards,
Matt

Fields missing in Interactive forms in SFP

Hi All,
I am using interactive forms (transaction SFP) for Prsonnel change request in MSS.When i go to this form ISR_FORM_SPEG thru SFP, i realised that come standard fileds like PERNR,ENAME etc are missing ( Generic ISR Table Type) are missing from the context folder of ISR_FORM_SPEG.Any idea how i can bring them back into place??
Regards,
Aditi

Hi Aditi,
Go to transaction QISRSCENARIO. check if these fields are there in the characteristics of the corresponding scenario (here SPEG). If they are there, click on the change button next to the form name in the Basic data of the scenario. A pop up message asking you to change the context fields as per the characteristics fields. This gets you to the ALCDesigner. Once the proper bindings are done for the form, exit and lets you go back to the qisrscenario transaction. save the data and also activate the form. <provided you are viewing the standard scenario in the change mode>.
else
copy this scenario and make the adjustments you need.
if there are some fields in the form that are not part of the characteristics, click on the import form fields button next to the form name. and save it.
Hope this will solve your problem.
do update the forum reg your findings.
Thanks and warm regards,
Anto.
