Dropdown box for SAP provided Adobe Form is not populating

Hi experts,
I am new to Adobe Interactive Forms. Right now we are using Standard Adobe form for the (PCR) Special Payment. But the drop down box for 'Reason for spl. Payment' is not getting populated. We have defined Reason for special payments in IMG. Also the form 'ISR_FORM_SPSP' has been converted to 'ZCI' format.
Can you please let me know is there anything else I have to configure?
Thanks in advance,
Phani

Hi Antony,
Thank you for the reply. As I said I am using the Standard Adobe form provided by SAP (Special Payment) 'ISR_FORM_SPSP'. On another note ..I am also using the form for Changing working time 'ISR_FORM_SPWT' where the dropdown box for the 'new working time' is getting populated properly. I am new to Interactive Adobe Form so I really don't know where I can find the backend code for this form.
When I go to trasaction 'SFP' I could only see form and the interface being used. Is there a specific BADI that I need to look in? Where can I find the script for the Dropdown UI element.
Please let me know
Thanks
Phani

3.) In addition you'll need the print programs. Please check the following program content for function module 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' to get the link to Form (Transaction SFP)

You will need some training documentation on the interactive forms part. By default the form is set to interactive in the layout tab -> edit -> form properties -> defaults tab -> preview type, but there's licensing involved, ADS setup etc. The best bet if you'd like to dig into this is to buy the following book: http://sap-press.com/product.cfm?account=&product=H3026 It is impressive.

Handling RAW data types (from SAP) in Adobe forms - Illegal Arg Exception

Hi,
I have a scenario where I have to get data of type RAW in SAP to Adobe Forms using web dynpro java. What is the corresponding type in Web Dynpro / Adobe Forms.
I am using Adaptive RFC and when I get the model from SAP function module, the RAW type is created as Binary type in the data dictionary of Web Dynpro.
When I map the model context to controller context, the type is taken as byte[].
I tried to set the attribute for this field and I got the Illegal Argument Exception error.
I am using NWDS 7.0.9 and NW04s SP12. Pl help. I am working on this since 10 days but could get no solution.
The initial exception that caused the request to fail, was:
<b>java.lang.IllegalArgumentException</b>
at com.sap.dictionary.runtime.DdTypeBinary.format(DdTypeBinary.java:60)
at com.sap.dictionary.runtime.DdTypeBinary.toString(DdTypeBinary.java:64)
at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.data.DataContainer.doFormat(DataContainer.java:1405)
at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.data.DataContainer.getAndFormat(DataContainer.java:1098)
at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientimpl.xdp.renderer.data.XfdRenderer.renderAttributes(XfdRenderer.java:370)
... 41 more

Issue with the RAW data types is resolved now. I have changed the data type of the field into String in the dictionary (web dynpro).. I have changed the corresponding getters and setter functions from byte[] to string. And everything working fine now. I got the Illegal Argument exception initially because I was trying to display the binary data type fields on the adobe form or view which I am not supposed to do.
Also it is better to create separate view attributes in the context to get the values rather than mapping the model attributes directly in the form or view.
Thank you one and all.

Form routine for sales order adobe forms

Hi Friends,
I have a requirement to create z adobe forms for sales order for customized output type.
When i checked, there is no form routine designed for calling the adobe forms.
So, i am planning to copy the standard print program which is available for script and smartforms and creating a z form routine to include the function modules for calling the adobe form.
Can any one please let me know whether have you worked in any of the same kind of situations and my apporach is ok or anything else can be done.
Thanks & Regards,
Prabu

Hello,
Plz check your caller program for the same and just find out the output type. for that purpose use the Tcode: NACE for finding the output type than proceed accordingly.

Adobe forms output not showing

Hi,
Iam working on ECC5.0 version.
i created adobe form after click on test button it will ask for output device.
i checked with all output device options but i did not see the output.
any configuration required for seeing the adobe forms output?
Regards,
Suresh

Hi,
First question is do you have Adobe Document Services (ADS) in your system landscape? This is essential to generate output from adobe forms.
If your ADS is set up you can call function module FP_GET_LAST_ADS_ERRSTR after you call the generated form function module you will get the last error message from the ADS.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12: dropdown boxes for tools not working properly in Win 8.1

Elements 12 system requirements are indicated up to Windows 8. Does that mean it should also work on any Windows 8 upgrades, more specifically 8.1? The drop-down boxes for the tools are not working properly in the program. I've installed it, uninstalled it, and installed it again with the same results. It worked fine on my old computer with Vista.

Yes PSE12 will work on 8.1
If problems persist try re-setting the prefs.
Go to: Edit >> Preferences >> General (Photoshop Elements menu on Mac)
Click the button Reset Preferences on next Launch

Webdynpro for ABAP - interactive Adobe form - drop down lists not working

Hi all,
I'm trying to create an interactive form for a client using webdynpro for ABAP and I've viewed the demo "Create SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe with Web Dynpro for ABAP" by Thomas Jung, but when I implement it the form following similar steps the form is not interactive.
In the properties of the "InterativeForm", I've tried clicking the "enabled" flag both on and off. I've also tried setting the "displayType" property to both "ActiveX" and "Native". But none of this worked.
I though my problem might be with Adobe reader so I switched from 8.0 back to 7.0 but this didn't make any difference either.
The system we are using is NW04s WAS 700. Any hints would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
-tom

Thanks for the suggestion Dezso. I've downloaded a newer version of ACF as indicated by the OSS note and installed it. I'm still having the same issue.
My basic question is what options should I be using in the form and on the InteractiveForm component? It looks like because of the evolution of the product there are multiple options available. I recall reading somewhere that as of a certain SP level we should have ZCI (zero client install) available. The would be our preference. It will be a support nightmare if each user needed a manual download of ACF.exe installed.
Should I click the "enabled" flag on the InteractiveForm object? When I create the form should I use the "Native" drop down list or the one from the "Active X" tab? I would like to use the "List Box" control on the form as well but it is only available in the "Standard" tab. So does that mean I can't get the selections from a "List Box"?
Thanks,-tom

Update SAP from Adobe forms

Hi all,
I use BAPI with web service to update several line items (e.g. of a PO) from a table in Adobe forms to SAP. I expect that all the occurrences of the line items to be transferred to the func mod. via the defined table interface, but only the last line got transferred and the others seem to be overwritten. I have tried adobe fixed and dynamic tables but that did not change the outcome (In another application, I'm able to display all line items from func. mod. to Adobe form). Question : What do I need to do to have ALL the line items transferred from Adobe form to the func. mod. ?
Components used : Designer 7, SAP ECC 6 level 9 .
Please, provide help with concrete and proven information only.
Best regards,
Nancy

Hi Vaibhav,
Thanks for the reply. I use table and not structure but somehow all the records did not get transferred. So far i've been able to get the data to and from SAP without web dynpro and hope to be able to get this scenario to work as well.

Nancy

SAP and Adobe Form - Scripting Issues

Hello experts,
before i start with the the issue, I would like to describe some functions which we have developed in our adobe form (not interactive Form!).
We are displaying XHTML Text coming from SAP , in order to load the XTHML into the controls we are calling the following line of code during the initialize event:
this.value.exData.loadXML(this.rawValue);
We are printing a table which contains 3 position types (SAP DATA)
Product items
Groups
Texts/Pictures (XHTML/Binary Data)
        On each new page a header line shall be printed if the type is product item. This codding is placed inside the layout:ready event:
data.BODY.HIERARCHY.GS_HIER.DATA.ALTERNATIVE_NODE_TYPE.NODETYPE::ready:layout - (JavaScript, both)
var vPage = xfa.layout.page(this);
Script.setHeaderline(vPage, this.rawValue, this.parent.FLAG_HEADER_LINE.rawValue);
data.BODY.HIERARCHY.GS_HIER.HEADER::ready:layout - (JavaScript, both)
var vPage = xfa.layout.page(this);
Script.getHeaderline(vPage);
if (Script.gHeader == "X") {
this.presence = "visible";
else {
this.presence = "hidden";
SCRIPT SECTION: -->
var gHeader = "Y";
var level_hier = 5;
var new_page;
var gPage = 1;
arrHeader = new Array();
function setPage(in_page) {
gPage = in_page;
function getPage(out_page) {
out_page = gPage;
return out_page;
function setHeaderline(in_page, in_nodetype, in_flag_header_line) {
if (in_page != gPage) {
       if (in_nodetype == "1" && in_flag_header_line != "X") {
            arrHeader[in_page] = "X";
else {
       arrHeader[in_page] = "N";
gPage = in_page;
function getHeaderline(in_page) {
gHeader = arrHeader[in_page];
The first functionality was working always pretty good. For making the second functionality available we started calling the Adobe Forms using the Parameter DYNAMIC = 'X'. Unfortunaltey the first functionality is then not working anymore correctly. We have tried to change javascript processing to server side/client side and both, but in the mode DYNAMIC = 'X' it does not have any influence, all javascript is performed at the client and at runtime. The result is that some pdf reader can not see the XTHML texts and we are expierencing some other problems with pictures.
We need to have both functionalities working at the same time for all readers. I guess this is only possible if the javascript is processed at the server side and the ADS returns a finished/static PDF document.
Does anyone has an idea how to solve this issue ?
Thanks a lot,
Wladimir

Thanks for the info Juergen. I am still awaiting your blog on secured web services , if you get time please post it.

Authorization check for an offline Adobe form

Hi folks,
Quick ques - Is there a way I can validate whether a user has the authorization to enter data on an offline Adobe form ?
The form is going to be generated and sent to users. So when the user is ready is to fill data, there is no connection to SAP.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help!
Rds, Liz

Hi Liz,
Password encrypted forms are not supported by SAP but you can try with other options like putting inputs fields for user and validating them but that would not be an encrypted one.
Password Encrypted Forms are supported from the Adobe LiveCycle ES versions 8.2 and it is a standalone tool and not supported by SAP.
Pl refer to the following links for more information:
[Re: Password protected PDF file;
[pdf with password encryption;
[Setting a security method in Adobe forms;
