Embed PDF form in a view

Hello experts,
I am working on HAP_DOCUMENT, but could not able to solve the issue for past some time now.
The Issue is: in the view "layout_sap_standard.htm" , they are calling "body.do" controller to display the details of the part appraisals. in "body.do" they are refering to "body.htm" view and from there they are again calling the page fragemnt "document_body.htm".
Now in place of this view i want to embed a interactive adobe form .just i wnat to replace the view with interactive form .

Madhu

Hi Roy,
You can find WdAdobeControl.dll file from the location:
C:\Program Files\SAP\JDT\eclipse\plugins\com.sap.ide.webdynpro.adobetemplatedesigner\lib
This is required at client side only for designing of the PDF forms using Adobe Designer.
Use following command in Command prompt to register it.
first of all goto the folder in which this file resides in command prompt and then use following command:
regsvr32 WdAdobeControl.dll
It will register this dll.

PDF form open in viewer not browser

I'm having a problem with a PDF form on my website. I've tested it up and down with no problems, yet I'm getting feedback that users complete the form, click "submit" and nothing happens...and I don't get the form using form central.
I've determined that the problem is that users are completing the form in a web browser, rather than in adobe reader/acrobat.
I would like to make a change to the form, or something with my site that would automatically open the pdf in a viewer (or detect if the user does not have Acrobat) - versus having to hope that the user follows the directions that I've posted to my site.
Please help!

Hi;
Yes, unfortunately when you post a PDF online as you discovered it does not work right when filled out in a web browser and you want/need users to download the PDF and use Adobe Reader or Acrobat to fill out the PDF. It sounds like you are likely doing what you can - directing users as to what to do, you can see if you can get a good recommendation from the Acrobat forums on this topic (it is a general PDF issue and not specific to FormsCentral): http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat
You also might want to do some google searching, this Stack Overflow discussion might be helpful: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6794255/html-download-a-pdf-file-instead-of-opening-the m-in-browser-when-clicked

FormsCentral PDF Form- How to View Multi-line Fields

I have a FormsCentral PDF form, which allows users to fill out the form and save as a PDF. However, after receiving the completed forms, I am unable to see all the text in the multi-line field boxes without opening them and scrolling down. Since I will be sharing several of these competed forms with a review panel, please let me know:
1) How to display the entire content of the multi-line field boxes rather than having the reader scroll down, then
2) How to save the completed forms so that its read-only when I send it to the review panel

I can point you to some online information. I really don't know the steps myself.
This blog talks about how to do it in LiveCycle Designer: http://blogs.uoregon.edu/developments/2010/12/29/pdf-making-text-fields-grow-to-accommodat e-text/comment-page-1/
You could also consider asking the user in this post for their idea on how to do it without making a dynamic form (LiveCycle): http://forums.adobe.com/message/4841774
Is there a reason you don't use FormsCentral to collect the responses? You could sign up for a 1-month subscription unless you have security or other reasons not to collect with FormsCentral, and then you'd be able to collect your responses and download each one as a PDF form individually and that form would be locked and have expanded text fields. You could stop automatic renewal and you would still have access to the form and responses in your Free level account (but could not collect more than 50 responses, if you already have greater than 50 those would remain).

How to embed PDF document to a view in WDJ?

Hi， experts，
I have a PDF document for helping user to use a software product. I want to embed it to a view through interactiveform in web dynpro for java so that other users may read the PDF document. I don't how to implement it?
Do you give me some hint?
Best regards,

Hi,
One quick question, where have you stored the PDF? is it in MIMEs folder ?
You have 1 of these 2 options to choose:
1. Get the PDF data in Byte format, fetch the absolute URL and display it in an iFrame UI Element.
2. Set the property of Adobe Interactive form UI elemets property -
mode = usePDF Mode (This mode value does not change the original PDF document. The data source and the template for the creation of the PDF document are ignored)
pdfSource = Path to the context element containing the PDF document.

Embed PDF in Custom list view

I have a custom list with items containing some columns and a pdf attachment. I want to be able to display the attachment when in display mode for my list item.
Any suggestions on how to achieve that with InfoPath or SharePoint designer ?

Hi Pavan,
I am getting PDF form properly in browser with no values in the fields as it should be. And i have provided one User entered field, When user enters sales order number in that field and presses the submit to sap button other fields rerlated with sales order status information should be displayed with the values related with that sales order number. But after pressing Submit to SAP button i didnt get values in other fields.
Method for Submit to SAP button is also called properly. Even i can see the status information in fields outside the PDF form in Browser.
So, parheps i think that whenever PDF form loads first time in browser, at that time it shows the values in the context variable. But after first load nothing is changed in that PDF form evenif the context values are changed.
Is it true?

Information is missing when I save responses as PDF forms

When I save a response as PDF, I only get 3 pages from the filled in response. While it should be 9 pages. One of the tables doe not continue on the next page. How can download the response exactly in the format form the design? Now I'm missing to much information.

Hi Emma;
I am pretty sure that what you need to do for all of the content to fit properly in PDF is to use the "Page View" setting/mode on the Design tab (default view is "Web View" for web forms) and edit the content in that view to "fit". The "Page View" view mode is to design/tweak the form to work in PDF, the changes made in "Web View" are still there including all features not supported in a PDF, but any Page Breaks added in either view are unique to that view, if you add a Page Break in Web View you will not see that in the PDF or Page View, if you add a Page Break in Page View it is only used in the PDF.
If you were to have used the "Save Submission Enabled PDF" button on the Distribute tab you would have seen an error that the content does not fit and it would have taken you into "Page View" on the Design tab where it would show you the content that would be cropped in a PDF. We'll address the issue that this error does not come up when saving the response as a PDF form.
The view drop down selector is in the bottom right corner in the Design tab:
There are a few things you can do in Page View to get the content to work in PDF but not change the HTML/web form too much. You can of course add page breaks, and you can break up large form fields, but you can also simply change the font size to get things to fit sometimes, or go into "File" - "Form Setup" and change the page size which will only affect the PDF and not the web form, a larger page will fit more content.
Hopefully this helps but let me know if this was not the solution to your form.
Thanks,
Josh

Cannot read filled-out pdf form on iPad

Hello,
I completed and saved a pdf form and can view it on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.7.5), but when I open it on the iPad, the form is blank and I can't see any of the filled-out data. After searching online for solutions, I went into Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 > Advanced, but PDF Optimizer is grayed out and I don't find info on how to activate it. Any help would be appreciated!

If Adobe did I would recommend Acrobat.
ReaderISO work okay but nothing with any javascript or ability work with forms
Currently Reader is just that it allows your look at some PDF's
That is the only PDF Application that allows full java script and Forms fillout.

Cannot open/view/access interactive pdf form using Safari

I was unable to open interactive pdf forms from websites with Safari 6 on my iMac. I received the following message:
Quote
To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
For further support, go to www.adobe.com/support/products/acrreader.html

I still couldn't view/open/access the form even after I upgraded to Version 11.0.04 of Adobe Reader.
This problem happens only (I believe) after I updated OS X and Safari. Previously I was able to do it without any trouble as recently as July 2013. However, I don't encounter any issue if it is just an ordinary pdf document especailly if it can be downloaded to be opened later.
As far as I can ascertain, I don't have any plug-in except for McAfee SiteAdvisor 2.0, 1Password 3.9.0, AdBlock 2.5.46 (which is disabled), Evernote Web Clipper 5.7, and Open In Internet Explorer 1.0 (by Parallels).
I am using OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and Safari 6.0.5 (8536.30.1).
Can anyone please help? Thank you.

Thank you, Carolyn Samit and andyBall_uk, for your prompt responses and suggestions.
Although I didn't follow your recommendations, they gave me some idea regarding what to do to resolve the issue.
The solution is actually very simple. I uninstalled my existing Adobe Reader (using CleanMyMac 2 but I believe moving the app to trash should do it as well), downloaded a fresh copy (version 11.0.04) and reinstalled it again. When the software was being installed, it asked whether I wanted to make Adobe Reader (AR) the default PDF reader. I indicated OK and allowed installation to proceed and finish.
After installation of AR, I reopened Safari and went to a website to click the link to the pdf form. And lo and behold, I was able to open/access/view the document! It worked with a second website.
So the lesson is when installing an upgrade remember to make Adobe Reader the default PDF reader.
I hope that this procedure can help others resolve their issue if they have a similar problem.

Saving PDF form on Mac prevents viewing and printing by another viewer

We run a student competition which is affiliated with a national competition. The national competition provides a set of forms that must be filled out by the students, teachers, etc. We have a process set up whereby students can download a PDF form (which is enabled by the authors for saving from Reader). They are supposed to fill out this form (actually several of them), and then save the file(s) to their drive. Once they have the forms filled out and approved by their teacher, they upload them to our website via a standard web form, which simply saves the uploaded PDF for later viewing by the student, teachers, judges, and committee members. When students do this using Adobe Reader on a PC, it works fine. (I'm not sure if Reader X works, actually, but I know Reader 9 does). The problem, though, comes up with Mac users. When they do the same thing, it seems to override the extended rights in the document, resulting in a document saved on their disk that displays with all the fields initially unviewable (that is they all appear blank). If you click on one of the fields, you can view the fields one at a time. Each field appears and disappears as you move thru the document. But we can't simply read the form, nor can we print a copy (which is necessary if the student wins and proceeds to the national competition.) This is true if the form is uploaded or emailed or transported by USB drive--it is simply a property of the saved file. In our testing, this appears to be a generic property of forms processed on a Mac--and we haven't found a way around it. Is there any way for a student who has filled out a form on a Mac to save the form while PRESERVING the extended rights? Or do we just have to tell them that Macs don't work right? If there is a way for them to do this, I could provide the instructions on the page that delivers the forms. But we've tried to explore the Mac interface (inside Safari and in the PDF viewer that is provided on the Mac systems) and can't find any place that gives options that seem to affect the extended rights. Help!

There's an easy way around it. Make sure they are using Adobe Reader to fill in the form. 99% of these cases are because they are using the Mac Preview application to open PDF's and it will corrupt Adobe forms.

I created a pdf form and then imported it to Forms Central for distribute. It is now loaded to my website and setup so a person clicks on the link to open the form. At this point they then have to go to upper right to open form using a different view. I would like the form to open directly in Adobe Reader form to make it easier to enter information. Thanks, Ike

If you created it in Forms Central, you have to edit it there. I believe Forms Central is similar to LiveCycle Designer in that the form created is no longer able to be edited in Acrobat. I might be wrong, but that is my understanding. You add the submit button in Forms Central. Within Acrobat, you should be able to go to the forms menu and Manage Data to save the data to an Excel file. Others better with forms should be by to clarify things, but this should get you started. In the future you might find it better to post a forms question in the forms discussions.

Texts in pdf form don't appear when viewing in Acrobat nor in Reader.

Texts in pdf form don't appear when viewing in Acrobat nor in Reader nor when printed after the form has been filled. But the texts appear when one clicks inside the field. What is the solution to be able to print and view all of the texts in all of the fields that have been typed.

More than likely caused by someone filling out the form with Mac Preview.
Here's a potential fix: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/885/cpsid_88564.html

No options under the distribute tab to copy url link or embed a fillable PDF form

I Have a paid basic account is not giving me the option to under the distribute tab to copy url link or embed a fillable PDF form? Simply put it doesn't show up for an option. I want to embed the form into my website but the embed feature is not showing up? Please help I have been at this all day.

Based on your answer above, it sounds like you uploaded the file to your website, as opposed to the function being available from formscentral.
If you have downloaded the file from Acrobat Pro then uploaded it to a website and had the upload pinned to a download button, then that is going to be a function of your website. Your workaround has nothing to do with formscentral itself.
You essentially uploaded the file to your website, then made it a downloadable file. The reason it is opening in your browser is because you have the Adobe Reader/Acrobat plug-in for your browser. It's not actually "embedded". If you uninstalled all of your adobe plug-ins, then it would open Reader or Acrobat, not in the browser. The reason it only opens in Safari is likely due to the fact that you only have the Adobe Reader/Acrobat plug-in enabled for Safari, and it is disabled for the other browsers.
I hope this makes sense!

How to generate and display the pdf form as a web dynpro abap view

Hi,
    I filled the value in the table and displayed in the view,In that view i have one button"TOPDF".
    My requirement is,if i click that button,i want to display the table in the PDF output.
    For the above requirement,i created another view with interactive form,In that view i created one "pdf" Node and "soure" as a attribute of Type-xstring.Then i binded the soure attribute withe "pdfdatasoure" of my interactive form view.
    Now my doubt is how and where can i pass the table values to pdf output.
    can any body cleare my doubt with some sample code.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Ravi.

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
