Download the PDF Form as a attachment when button click in BSP application

Hi All,
I have scenario, when button click in the BSP application PDF Form want to download in the IE (like one window open with Open,Save and cancel button).
I have written this code:
data: pdf type fpformoutput-pdf.
< Logic for populate value to pdf field ....
.>
response->set_header_field(
 name = 'cache-control'
 value = 'max-age=0' ).
response->set_header_field(
 name = 'content-disposition'
 value = 'attachment; filename=webforms.pdf' ).
response->set_data( data = pdf ).
Once button is clicked pop up is opened and closed automatically because of browser or adobe reader issue.
How can I resolve this problem ?
In the IE i need to change any settings ?
IE version = 7.0
Adobe reader = 9.0
I have tried in the same code with IE = 6.0 and adobe reader 8.1.2 its getting download the pdf form working fine.
The same think i want in IE 7.0 and adobe reader 9.0, what needs to be done ?

Hello Ravi,
Best would be to bind the dataSource of the InteractiveForm ui element to the parent node containing the table's data. Then specify a name of a template to be created in the templateSource and hit <enter>. Some popups later, the system will have created a template from the structure of the context. All you need to do now is to drag&drop the data structure inside the template designer to the template itself. This will result in a table. Save, activate and return the Web Dynpro view. Don't forget to unbind the pdfSource and enjoy.
Best regards,
Thomas

Can't download the .pdf form. Error comes up of "Acrobat could not save this ,pdf file. The file might be open in another app and cannot be overwritten."

It was happening on the mac. Now it is happening on both a mac and pc.

I read some other threads after posting this. Seems if you download the Adobe Forms Central App to your computer, you combat the problem. It is running much smoother now and allows me to save .pdfs to my mac no problem. I thought it was a problem with Acrobat but it turns out is is an issue with using the online program versus the App. I highly recommend the app.
Thanks for responding though.

I just downloaded the new 4.0 an now when I click on the tab it won't even load up, it'll look like the page will show up but then it won't an the it'll look like I never even clicked on it. What is going on? Why won't firefox work?

My firefox was working perfectly before when I had the 3.6 but now it just won't load up at ALL! I've dealt with it crashing on me while I was on the internet but I've never clicked on the tab OVER an OVER again an still not even having the home page show up on my screen. Its getting really frustrating and I now really wish I'd of just left my firefox the way it was. . .can you please help me??

Please do the following. 
#Use Internet Explorer 8 or 9 and go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0.1] Do not choose "Run" when you see the prompt, but instead choose "Save" and save the file to your desktop. 
#Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box). 
#Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 
#Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier. 
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation. 
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Click the orange Firefox button and go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''. 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen. 
Here are a few tips to make FF4 look like the previous version in case you don't like the new design. 
* Right click a blank part of the tab bar and click "Tabs on top" to remove the checkmark. Tabs will subsequently reappear below the search bar. 
* Repeat the same steps, but click the top one called "Menu bar". This will reinstate the text links at the top. 
* To rearrange the layout, repeat the same steps again and choose "Customize". A panel will open and while that remains onscreen, you can move elements like toolbars, buttons etc around and place them anywhere you wish. You can also drag anything you don't like into that panel and add anything you want by dragging it out of there. 
* To replace the status bar at the foot of the page, install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/

I downloaded the newer version of firefox but when i click on icon to bring it up the older version appears and tells me i am using an old version Help please

i want to know how to replace the newer version.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com
For the full system requirements see http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html

Hi Experts,
1)I have a requirement wherein i need to change the pdf form that is generated when we click on download button in hap_document bsp application. I need to use the custom PDF form in place of the actual PDF form. How can i acheive this?
2) In the layout, i want to replace some part of the screen with an interactive adobe form how to acieve this?
Thanks and Regards,

This should not be handled by ABAP. If they were able to change it in the sales documents, they should be able to cancel the invoice in VF11 and create another one. That's the best practice.

When i have downloaded a pdf form i cannot type in the fields marked

when i have downloaded a pdf form i cannot type in the fields marked

Perhaps the fields aren't fillable -- are you seeing a purple message bar across the top asking you fill out the form? Here is a quick video that explains the messages you should be seeing in your form - Quick Tip: How to enter form data using Adobe Reader.

Can the individual form response be sent via e-mail to us in the PDF form format (not the raw output we see currently when using e-mail notifcation) each time a user submits a reponse?

Hi, we basically have an on-line job application that we need to be sent to us via e-mail notification every time a user submits a response, not with the raw data output from the form fields like the current e-mail notification setting allows, but as an actual PDF attachment that mirrors the format of the on-line form, with the user response data in it. We need this to be automated and sent to a central HR e-mail to distro to others. It would be essentially the same thing as a user downloading a PDF form, filling it out, then e-mailing it back to us, but using the submit options via the Form Central server instead. Is this even possible and, if so, is there any documentation on it? I have not found anything clear in searching for this same topic.

No this is not possible within Formscentral. You could export a PDF without a submit button (an option when saving your form as PDF) and then in Acrobat add a submit button to your form and have it automatically sent to the email of your choice. This kind of workflow falls outside the scope of Formscentral.

Can I edit the email created to send a PDF form back to me when a user clicks on Submit?

I created several PDF fillable forms for our users to request services and send back data needed to deliver those services. They are simple forms, and users will click on Submit to return to a mailto: address.
My question is about the email message that is auto-created when the user clicks on Submit. I can't find any config window to be able to edit the message in the body of the email. The message reads:
Form Returned: 2014PrintingRequestForm.pdf
The attached file is the filled-out form. Please open it to review the data.
Is there any way to edit this message?

majende,
Adobe Reader for iOS does support a Submit button.
(a) Button action to submit an entire PDF document via email
(b) JavaScript submitForm to Adobe FormsCentral
Do you use the desktop version of Adobe Acrobat to create a PDF form?
For option (a)
Add the "Submit a form" action to your Submit button.
Enter "mailto:" (including a colon) followed by email recipient(s). Please add a comma between two email addresses.
Example: [email protected], [email protected]
Select "PDF The complete document".
This particular type of PDF form will work with Adobe Reader desktop and mobile products (including Adobe Reader for iOS and Android).
In Adobe Reader for iOS, a user can do the following steps to submit the particular type of PDF form.
Fill out the PDF form.
Tap the Submit button in the PDF form.
Select "Share Original Document" or "Share Flattened Copy" from the Share File dialog.
Adobe Reader for iOS will automatically fill in the email address(es) that you specified when you created the PDF form.
Tap the Send button in the upper right corner.
Adobe Reader for iOS will send the PDF form as an email attachment via Apple Mail (the default mail app for iOS).
Please let us know if you have additional questions.

Attach the whole form with XML data when Emailed

Hi all
I am new to Adobe Livecycle product. I have been using IBM workplace forms and now want to migrate to Adobe Forms. I want the whole completed PDF form to be attached along with the xml data in it when someone clicks the email button and email is sent. Currently when I am able to attach only the data part to the email.
Please advice on this...
Thanks
Ullas

The default email submit button is set up to send just the data/ If you drop a button object onto the form, set it to be a submit button, then use the mailto protocol to setup who you want to send it to. One of the button parameters allows you to choose what you want to submit. in your case choose PDF.

I just downloaded a pdf form and need to open it and fill in blanks but can't figure ohow to find the file

I just downloaded a pdf form and need to open it and fill in blanks but how can I find the file in Adobe so I can open it??
Thank you in advance.

Hi Steve Odem,
If you downloaded the file from a web page, it most likely went into a Downloads folder on your computer. If you don't know where that folder is, the easiest thing to do may be to use the Find feature of Mac OS or Windows (whichever you use), to search for the PDF form. Once you know where the file ended up, you can easily navigate to that folder in Reader. (Choose File > Open in Reader, then navigate to the file in the Open dialog box.)
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Best,
Sara

Attachments in the PDF form

I am saving my form as a PDF. In the form I have an attachment field included. However when I try to use the attachment "Select File" I am getting an error. saying the file attachment in not supported in the formPDF. Is there a way to do this with the PDF form?

PDF forms currently do not support attachments. You would have to distribute the form as a web form to get that functionality.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response. I will see how can i use the InputStream as we have utility which create the pdf doc on the fly and returns the byte stream.
But you are write if the size is large then i will eat up the memory.Huh, write? What are you saying?
Anyway, each byte in Java costs at least one byte of memory. So if the PDF file is for instance 100MB, then 100MB of memory will be eaten. Imagine what happens if only 10 users downloads it concurrently while your server has only 1GB assigned to JVM.
I am getting information bar (not pop up) just below the address bar. It says following
*" To help protect your security, Internet Explorer blocked this site from downloading files to your computer. Click here to see more options...."*Oh, that thing. Are you sending the file to the client unexpectedly? Are you doing this stuff in a JSP file instead of a Servlet?

Is there a way to have the email notifications include the PDF form?

Is there a way to have the email notifications include the PDF form?

Very Disappointing. You fill out a Form and you can't get the Form via E-Mail :-(
Only the information you filled in in the empty fields.
I designed a contract formular for customers.
The customer fills out the PDF in the web form.
Via E-Mail notification i get the infos the client entered in the form.
But not the PDF itself.
So i have to enter the web frontend search the data and download the filled in form from there.
After downloading the form i have to e-mail the form to the customer and the mailing list by hand ...
I would think that it is an obvious feature that you can e-mail copy of what is entered (together with the text of the formular!) as an pdf attachement and not only the entered fields ...
Maybe someon can check this feature request. (Attach entered form as PDF to the notification E-Mail).
It would also be great if you would have the possibility to enter an E-Mail Adress for CC insinde the formular :-)
