Email interactive pdf from webdynpro without displaying form

Hi all,
We have a webdynpro application that needs to generate an interactive form and send it by email, without first displaying it to the user.  I have built the interactive form in a webdynpro component and it works fine, but I think it requires the window to be opened to generate the pdf xstring to be attached to the email.  But we do not need the window to be opened because the users don't want to review the form before sending it. (whether this is a good idea or not is not up for discussion. )
I am wondering if there is a better way to accomplish this? More detail on scenario: the user selects some data in the screen and then clicks a button like "send form". They fill out a popup with recipient info and then click "send".  A form based on the data they originally selected should be sent to the recipient. The recipient (who does not have access to SAP) fills out some fields in the form (hence it needs to be interactive), then sends the completed form back to the originator via email.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Margaret

Thanks to all for your responses. I could have stated the problem more succinctly as: how to send a form with ZCI layout (not standard layout) via email? 
The pointers you gave are helpful and probably would have gotten us to the solution. We found we could use the normal functions, "CALL FUNCTION 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' ...." and then
CALL FUNCTION funcname
  EXPORTING
    /1bcdwb/docparams  = fp_docparams
      /1bcdwb/docxml     = docxml
where docxml is the output of a custom transformation we built to convert a deep ABAP structure to the correct XML format. (Note that "CALL TRANSFORMATION id ..." does not work correctly for converting deep structures for ABAP forms because the id transformation inserts <item> where <DATA> is needed.)

    exporting a PDF from keynote without losing hyperlinks
    anyone have any ideas why it doesn't export the hyperlinks to the PDF?
    i only have PDF reader on my machine, not the full PDF creator

    Or, better than that, export the PDF from InDesign as PDF/X-4!
    By default, Acrobat and Reader use overprint preview when displaying PDF/X-4 files. Plus you have the benefit of full color management and not having transparency ruined by premature flattening.
    One other note. Other than for the fairly common practice of overprinting black text over colors to avoid halo effects due to registration, one should be exceptionally careful in using overprint. Trapping, the other good, justifiable use for overprint is really best performed by the RIP. Most modern RIPs provide for automatic trapping. Overprint should absolutely not be used as a “poor man's transparency,” especially in conjuction with spot colors. With the advent of real transparency in the Adobe imaging model and hence in Illustrator, InDesign, and PDF, there is no good reason to use overprint hacks anymore to simulate transparency.

  • Problem with Hyperlinks - Creating Interactive PDF from an In-design Book

    Im working on producing a Interactive PDF from an In-design Book which consists of 9 Indesign Documents.

    I have Acrobat 9.5 and when I try to create>pdf from scanner, it displays an error "Adobe acrobat has stopped working". Is there any way I can use this functionality?

    Provide you have Acrobat 9 installed in an OS for which Acrobat 9 is compatible then you can use the functionality.
    As well, you need a scanner connected, powered up, and the software installed. Acrobat 9 "prefers" TWAIN drivers.
    Always visit the scanner vendor's site and download - install the latest greatest software.
    n.b., The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year 2013.
    As well the Acrobat 9.x product family is not compatible with contemporary OSs.
    Be well...

    Making a interactive PDF from indesign, but it's too big. Tried to reduce file size in Acrobat, but it does not reduce file size.

    Use the Optimize PDF command in Acrobat, it gives you more control. I think it's under the Advanced menu in Acrobat 9 Pro and File > Save As > Optimized PDF in Acrobat X Pro.
    You might try playing around with different settings. You can also click the Audit Space button at the upper right to see if its from images or other things causing the file size problem.
    Unfortunately, InDesign doesn't write interactivity in a very optimized way. You get better results with buttons, for example, creating them in Acrobat Pro and using the Duplicate command to duplicate them across multiple pages.

    how do I convert emails to PDF from Outlook to make a file on the PC

    It is always tough for anyone when we need to save our emails into one file for future reference. You could either do it manually or can use a simple tool to Convert all your messages into one pdf file . This Single pdf file can be used if we need to read any past email. you can easily convert oulook to pdf in no time. If you are converting several email messages, you can either save them as separate files with initial layout fully intact or combine them into one big PDF document.

  • Forms Warning with Interactive PDF from InDesign

    Hi all,
    I have created an interactive PDF in InDesign CS5 with a series of buttons, and those buttons link to bookmarked pages within the document. These buttons are setup on one of the Masters. It seems that whenever I get more than 10 buttons on the master, I get the following warning when I open the exported PDF in Adobe Reader:
    "Please Note: You cannot save a completed copy of this form on your computer. If you would like a copy for your records, Please fill it in and print it"
    I don't have any form fields in the document that I am aware of. Is there any way to locate form fields if they do in fact exist?
    Is there a limit of 10 buttons per master perhaps?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Glen

    Thanks Peter.
    Is there a known workaround? I ended up using hyperlinks instead, I suppose there really is more than one way to skin a cat.

  • How to export an interactive pdf from InDesign at a smaller file size.

    I have a single page InDesign doc with a side navigation panel to the right of each page. This panel has interactive buttons created in InDesign.
    When I export as an interactive pdf, the file size is over 27MB and I need it to be much lower.
    I should mention that this doc was made from an original PRINT InDesign doc of facing pages, which was about 55MB.
    When making it single pages for the interactive doc, the InDesign file size increased to 105MB.
    Can anyone explain this and have any useful tips for saving the pdf down WITH interactivity working?
    Many thanks.

    Okay - With the 15MB pdf, when I go into the PDF Optimizer dialog box, it's telling me that the Fonts are using 40% and the Acrobat Forms are using 29%.
    Anyone know of a way I can reduce either of these???
    Many thanks in advance!

  • Editable, Savable and Email-able PDFs from Reader!

    Hello all,
    so today I got an PDF from a web design firm. It contains a questionnaire with combo boxes and input forms. I was really surprised to find that, within Adobe Reader I can edit and save this PDF locally.
    Further, another nice feature is that you can email an XML document of the form data (not the PDF itself). When you click the email button, the following is pasted into the body of the email:
    The attached file contains data that was entered into a
    form. It is not the form itself.
    The recipient of this data file should save it locally
    with a unique name. Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later can process this data
    by importing it back into the blank form or creating a spreadsheet from several
    data files. See Help in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later for more details.
    Maybe its old news here but I never knew that was possible through Reader! How can you make a document so its ready for editing, saving and emailing like this? Does someone has a tutorial on this please? Can the 'source' be read from the PDF?
    Any advice / suggestions?
    Thanks!
    Marv

    Not much of a tutorial needed. You create your form then you specially enable it in Acorbat Pro or better. The option is found under the "advanced" menu.
    It's sort of old news. It's only been around the last two versions.
    If you decide to use forms that are enabled like this, keep in mind that there are strict limitations on how many times they can be used. You can find those limitations in section 15 of the license agreement (There's a subsection in there. I think it's 15.12 but am not positive.)

  • Updating interactive PDFs from InDesign 6

    I designed a form in InDesign 6 and exported it as an interactive PDF. Can I revise the Indesign version and export it again without losing the additional formatting that I originally did in Acrobat Pro? For example, I altered the size of some boxes but don't want to lose the additional steps I did in Pro. Can I import the revised form on top of the existing form, so to speak?

    You can use the replace pages which will replace on the artwork and leave all of the buttons and fields as is.
