Dynamic page length in Adobe Forms for paper roll printing

Hi gurus,
I have a requirement to create an invoice printout using a thermal printer with paper roll feed. Depending on the number of line items I have on my document the page could grow to an indefinite length. Is this something we could achieve using Adobe forms and ABAP?
Cheers,
Marc

In the end we just added a second page and expanded the content area up to the borders of the page. This produces quite a gap in the paper in between pages but we were able to eliminate it thru the use of the printer's paper back-feed commands.

What's the business case for using adobe forms for handling print forms

Hi
We are just starting our SAP project and are looking at the possibility to use Adobe forms for generating and printing our forms, like purchase orders, invoices etc.
My Question is:
1. Is this possible / adviseable ?
2. if so - what's the business case in using Adobe forms - We have been looking on the SAP Pricing for adobe interactive form, and in our point of view it's grotesque high
3. What other options do we have - do we need to settle with SAP Script / Smartforms ?
Regards
Morten Nielsen

Hi Morten,
1. Is this possible / adviseable ?
As far I know SAP is going to stop support for SAPScript in coming years (I don't know exact dates). It is pretty much advisable to use Adobe Print Forms.
2. if so - what's the business case in using Adobe forms - We have been looking on the
SAP Pricing for adobe interactive form, and in our point of view it's grotesque high
We can use Adobe Print Forms where ever we can able to use SApscripts/PDF print Forms.
3. What other options do we have - do we need to settle with SAP Script / Smartforms ?
It is better to settle with Adobe forms rather than using SAPscript/Smart forms. One of the main reason for this is maintainance is much easier than SAPscript/Smart forms.
But remember that Java Stack need to be installed in order to use Adobe Forms.
Please visit the below SDN area on Adobe forms for more details.

2) The same Amount should be shown in the starting of the Second Page after which the table contents should flow
3) At the end of Page 2 i should again display the total amount which is addition of total from previous page and sum of all items in page 2 .

not the Values .
I have tried to create the BalanceCarryfwd form in Master page but the sub totals are not comin up there .
How can i implement this logic , Please help me in this .

How to print page numbers in adobe form

Hi,
Can anybody tell me how to print page numbers in adobe form.
Thanks in advance
Chaitanya

Hi,
Yes the field page n of m is used normally for printing page numbers. But it won't display the current page of total pages by itself. You have to set the run time property to n (current page ) and m (Total number of pages). Carefully select the # (current page ) and ## (Total number of pages). Hope this works for you.
My requirement is to have the user control on current page. For Example:
Example for a Invoice with 5 PO items (stands on 2 pages) :
1st page is the letter : no page number
2nd page is the 1st page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
3rd page is the 2nd page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
4th page is the 1st page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
5th page is the 2nd page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
Presently i cam getting the current page number for page 4th as 3 / 2 and for 5th page 4 / 2. I could able to control the total number of pages from print program. But when i am printing the second copy (4th and 5th pages), I couldn't able to control the current page number. I need to initialize the Current page count (4th page ) as 1.
I have used the follwing java scripting:
this.rawValue = wv_pages - xfa.layout.page(this)
where wv_pages is total no of pages calculated from print program.
Please help me in this regard with some formcal or java scripting conditions.
Thank You,
Regards,
Naresh.

How to achieve dynamic page break in Smart form

Hi
1.How to achieve dynamic page breaks in Smart forms.
2.What are the various table types in Smart forms.
Regards

Dynamic page break : 
create a node of type COMMAND and in its attributes check "Go to new page".
There are Tables and Templates in smart forms :
Use node type Template to display a table whose layout and size (number of lines and columns) is determined before the runtime of the print program else use Table.
Take a look at <a href="http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCSRVSCRSF/BCSRVSCRSF.pdf">SAP Smart Forms (BC-SRV-SCR)</a>

Adobe Forms for Material Pocurement

Hi Experts,
Pls provide some Samples of Adobe Forms for Material Pocurement Process.
Thank U.
Ravi

You may not get the complete standard form which will match this functionality. But you can develop your business logic in custom code for fetching the data and the interface and use the standard templates for layouts if any template matches your requirement. You can see the complete lest of templates in : "transaction SFP->Form->Layout->Tools->Template Manager
Most of the common templates are available here.

Migration of JSP forms into adobe forms for PCRs

Hi All,
I am working on Upgrade project for ESS/MSS. Our client had JSP based PCRs which we need to migrate into adobe based PCRs.
i have few questions regarding this migration.
Has someone the experience to migrate a JSP based PCR into Adobe based PCR?
How much effort the migration will take, and can we fully reuse ISR configuration and workflow?
Thanks,
Ankur

If you are using the SAP delivered JSP forms - there maybe equivalent SAP delivered Adobe based PCRs in the next ESS/MSS releases that you can use instead of migrating the forms
I am not aware of any tools or documentation that help to migrate custom JSPs to custom Adobe forms
As I see it you would have to create new Adobe based versions of your JSP PCRs - I am vaguely aware of a guide entitled
"Developing Your Own Personnel Change Requests" for ERP2004 - however I am not sure how you would obtain a copy
or whether this approach is recommended, supported or complete - this documentation would detail how to create an ISR based Adobe form
At the same time there may be restrictions as to what standard JSP forms are available as standard Adobe forms and what can be configured in the ISR scenarios (for example use of Value Help in WD JAVA Adobe scenarios)
- SAP have been recommending instead of creating say a ISR based Adobe form for WD JAVA to
use HCM processes and forms (also available in the MSS role) going forward
- HCM processes and forms is WD ABAP based framework using Adobe which allows users to create custom Adobe forms which update back-end infotypes directly from the Portal - also such scenarios as Value Help etc may be possible (or more easily achieved)

Use Adobe forms for Dunning letters

Dear All,
We have a requirement to use dunning letters using Adobe Forms. I would like to know,
1. Is there a way we can attach adobe forms for dunning letters.
2. what could be the estimate do develop these letters using adobe forms.
3. Could I get some guidelines on the approach.
Thanks.

Hi Jonathan,
You're right, PDF is easier to use in comparison to SapScript.
If the SapScript is in use at this time, you should have no worries with PDF, where you can even import the official format.

Interactive Adobe form for performance appraisal

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to create Interactive Adobe Form for Performance appraisal? I understand that the appraisal template varies company to company.Does it affect the Form? Can we update the infotype 0025 ( Appraisals where appraisee /Appraisals where appraiser tab) ? Please advice on this.

Hi,
We had the same question sometime back. This is what we found
1. Users will not finish Performance Apprisal document in one session, they will complete partially and then comback another day to complete it.
2. IT25 is not like normal infotype, it might be challenging to update it with BAPI/RFCs.
These two issues stopped us from doing Adobe interactive forms (PCR like) for Performance apprisal.

Adobe form for checks

Hi All,
Can any expert suggest me whether SAP supports Adobe form for cheque form, because the option of selecting Script and PDF form is disable and by default it is SAP Script, when I try to assign form in the form for payment media in paying company code.
If it supports then how can I make that selection active and select PDF form for the payment medium.
Thanks&Regards
Srinivas

Hi Srinivas,
In FBZP configuration Payment method in country select the payment medium as PMW (CHECK - standard is there) instead of RFFO classic program.
Then it will enable you to select the PDF in the payment method in company code config. Then you can create your ADOBE form as assign it in the same place.
Hope this helps you. If you need any additional information let me know.

Adobe Form for F110 Check Payments

Currently, F110 uses an SAPScript form defined in t-code OBVU for its check payments. Is it possible to use an Adobe form instead? If so, is there a template or example anywhere? I am using t-code SFP.
Thank you for your help.
Brenda

Is it possible to use an Adobe form instead?
Of course. You will find a predelivered (next step) or create one yourself.
There is also the option to migrate the smartform but I would never do that even if I got paid for that (the result is very messy), check the details here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/16/a369b1800e4bdda978ee0fe3b7bd2c/content.htm
If so, is there a template or example anywhere?
List of SAP standard Adobe forms: Go to http://service.sap.com/erp (SAP ERP) -> Media Library - SAP ERP Overview -> Detailed information cross ERP -> Adobe Forms for SAP ERP
Standard programs:
or example anywhere?
Adapt yourself a tutorial:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c2567f2b-0b01-0010-b7b5-977cbf80665d
or learn how to enhance the standard (you will only create a brand new adobe instead of smartform if you didn´t find one):

Adobe forms for report creation.

Hello. I would like to use an web form in which the user submits research information, which the user can then download (or be emailed) the data in an organized report. In a sense, I would like to use Adobe Forms to make these reports consistent. How can I use Adobe forms for this? Is this possible?

Hi Viji,
I believe there must be a misunderstanding here. While Adobe delivers sample forms both in Adobe LiveCycle Designer (only the form) and for their own server products (the LiveCycle series), this has nothing to do with Interactive Forms in SAP software. Adobe contributes 2 key technology components to the joint solution, but the business logic continues to be shipped by SAP only. This means that Adobe neither ships standard forms for an SAP system nor BAPIs.
In mySAP ERP 2004, a couple of pilot processes built with Guided Procedures were shipped to selected customers. These processes dealt with the creation and changing of master data. These processes are not generally available.
Interactive Forms is included in several environments, i.e. Web Dynpro for Java, Web Dynpro for ABAP, ABAP Workbench (for printing), Guided Procedures, Internet Service Request (ERP), and Business Intelligence. In NetWeaver '04, you can only use Web Dynpro for Java and ABAP Workbench.
There is NO OUT-OF-THE-BOX SUPPORT for BSPs.
If you wish to use KM functions, it'll be up to you to develop them for your process. You will need to persist the generated PDF form (it doesn't happen by default), and there is no standard delivery that includes KM functions.
Hope this helps,
