Extract and Load Adobe Interactive Forms

I need help in validating the following scenario
1 - Customer creates a .pdf (Adobe Interactive Form) in SAP ERP2005 with an editable field
2 - Customer mails the .pdf file from ERP2005 to a vendor or extracts the .pdf file to a central repository external to SAP
3 - Vendor receives the file, populates editable field (off-line), and saves the file
4 - Vendor sends the .pdf file back to the customer
5 - Customer receives the .pdf file and imports the file into SAP ERP2005 processing the respective data on the .pdf
My question is can you performs steps 2 and/or 5. If so, how? Does it require other tools like XI and Itemfield ConversionAgent to process the extract from SAP or load to SAP?

Hello Kirk,
SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe is a basic technology that supports some of your requirements out of the box. In general you are describing a workflow in your first post, thus I would propose checking workflow-related documentation (e.g. Guided Procedures, Business Task Management). You can find links as part of the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/interactiveforms">Interactive Forms Knowledge Center</a>.

Calling RFC from Adobe Interactive Form

Hello,
After creating and calling Adobe Interactive form from ABAP web dynpro, within the form designer is it possible to call RFC or Business Object method from the form script to get the data back from SAP for specific Click events?

Yes,
this is possible, but not through pure RFC, but using webservices and webservice enabled function modules within SAP.
Technically it is quite simple. Create a functionmodule, and create a webserve from that (all SE37 or SE80 but from WAS 6.40). Generate a WSDL (with the Java tool) and import that into the form that you are designing. From there you can bind the data from the dataset (as defined in the WSDL) to screenfields or treat the data any other way Javascript can.
BTW. I only managed this so far by using anonymous logins, so with a password and username bound to the webservice (in SICF).
Hope this helps, regards, Hans Gmelig Meyling

Adobe Interactive Form and Web Dynpro

Hi experts,
I'm working with an standard Adobe Interactive Form (ISR_MSSRCF_SRQ3) which has a button (selectPosition) that is used to call a Web Dynpro (HRRCF_C_POSITION). This Web Dynpro is used to fill some forms fields (org. unit and position) as a search help. I don't know the way the Web Dynpro fills these fields, I don't find a context binding or so. Could you help to find the way these fields are linked to the Wed Dynpro? How does the Wed Dynpro fill these fields?
For this button, events in script command window are:
=>Mouse down.
//Set ISR_EVENT for BAdI processing in backend
$record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_EVENT = "USER_EVENT_POPUP"
$record.HRASR_FORM_WINDOW.DATA[*].FIELD.value = "HRRCF_C_POSITION"
=>Click.
//Trigger call to backend for BAdI user command processing
ContainerFoundation_JS.SendMessageToContainer(event.target, "submit", "", "", "", "");
=>Ready.
//Toggle visibility to be visible during edit operations, ínvisible otherwise
if($record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_MODE == "DISPLAY" |
     $record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_FORM_VIEW =="ISR_APPROVE" )
then
     this.presence = "invisible"
else
     this.presence = "visible"
endif
Any idea???
Thanks in advance.

Hi
In se80 - select the WD application HRRCF_C_POSITION.
COMPONENTCONTROLLER -> method CALL_POPUP . Put a degug point and analyze.

Standard SAP Adobe Template in Adobe Interactive form

Hi folks,
Does any one knows how to import a standard SAP Adobe template (for eg :- PR template or SO create template) which is given by SAP into Adobe Interactive form UI element in Webdynpro perspective. I tried opening Adobe Interactive element by editing it and tried for import a std adobe template but I did not see any option to do so.
Appreciate an early response.
Regards,
Guru Subramanian B

Hi Guru
if you are involved in an SAP-internal project, which includes the development of a form, there are probably internal ways to do that.
If you need any of the official customer-ready forms we ship, you would need access to a mySAP ERP 2004 system and try and get one of the print forms out of that system. SAP is currently not providing any of their official forms outside the respective application.
As for your second question, first a clarification: The template as such is not in the system as PDF, but in a format called XDP. The PDF is the generated document that includes the system data.
Calling another system via BAPI and RFC is supported as part of the Web Dynpro for Java framework, and obviously in ABAP. As you need to define a form context to determine where your data for the form comes from, this data can come from other systems using BAPI/RFC. This is SAP functionality supported in SAP NetWeaver '04.

Adobe Interactive Forms via Mail and PI.

Hi All,
We are currently implementing an adobe interactive forms scenario (offline) at our customer.
The initial scenario was the folllowing
1. PDF is generated on the CRM system and downloaded towards the clients PC
2. PDF is adjusted by enduser
3. When all info is added, enduser presses the submit button in the pdf, this triggers the sending of an email, with an attachment containing the filled in data in xml format.
4. PI reads the mail, takes the XML and processes the data.
The scenario was quiet easy to enable.
Now the customer wants the PDF to be mailed instead of or toghetger with the xml representing the data. Reason for this is that they want to pdf to be stored inside the initial transaction (service order) in SAP (archiving reasons).
The PI system is just acting as a mail client. When the mail is read, the pdf needs to be converted into an xml, representing the data. I would like to use the adobe document service to convert the pdf.
So the system that generates the pdf (=CRM) and the system that needs to convert it (PI) is different.
Can the adobe document service by addressed from within a standard java or abap class.
Any idea whether this can be done and how?
Easier solution would be, attaching the pdf and the xml in the mail message. Is this possible?
Kind regards
Joris

Hi,
Adobe Interactive form can be generated and sent it via email by using a normal Java class. But that Java class should run in a server which should contain Adobe DocumentService.This java class can be archived as a par file and deployed on Portal server or can be written as a Webservice and can be triggered by clicking on a URL.
Hope this blog helps.

Standard adobe interactive forms for CRM

What adobe interactive forms are delivered with CRM 2007 as standard?
Were can i find these forms? The transaction sfb does not need to show too many adobe interactive forms - i would expect to see a lot more. Do they need to be downloaded from SAP or Adobe's web site?
Thanks in advance
Eddie

Hi Pavan,
Thanks for replying..i found a note (843279) which has a similar problem as mine..it says logon as "DE" and then copy the form . When i do that, i get a popup window asking me userid and password for Adobe configuration services, which means i need to check whether Adobe configuration is proper or not.
Ill do that and see how things proceed.
Thanks,
Aditi

GP and WD with Adobe Interactive form question - need some guidance.

Hello experts,
FYI, I'm running ECC 5.0 Support Stack 9, EP 7.0 SPS 11, NWDS 2.0.9_15 with Adobe Livecyle Designer.
I am slightly stuck with what I'm trying to do. I have created a web dynpro application that has an Adobe interactive form. I'm trying to use guided procedures to initiate a process so that this interactive form can be filled out and submitted to an approver. I need the relevant parties to receive a notification email. I have setup email templates and services, I just need to know how it will fit into the process. Once approved in the process, a BAPI should be invoked to populate some fields in the form. Should I be creating the Web Dynpro application to invoke the bapi or should a guided procedure callable object invoke the bapi? I know how to do these things, but I dont know which method I should use, in order to correctly have this process flow from point A - point B. Should the process appear in the Universal Worklist? If not, why not? Will it only appear in the GP runtime? I have pretty much read thru most of the tutorials but still cannot get this GP stuff to work as a WHOLE process.
Any guidance, suggestions, possible solutions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Kunal.

Hi,
It seems you have not activated the Composite Form object. Only after activation you will be able to use it to create a Callable Object of type composite form.
Hope this helps,

Adobe Interactive Forms without Web Dynpro and ACF???

Hi All, we would like to build an interactive forms solution based on the Adobe software integrated into WAS. However, the customer requires a true thin client application with no additional installation on the client. Integrating Adobe Interactive Forms into Web DynPro however requires the Active Component Framework (ACF) to be installed since these forms are integrated into the page within an ActiveX container.
So the question is whether there is a way to use Adobe Interactive forms including the Adobe Documents Service within WAS but without(!) using Web Dynpro?(the full blown Adobe LifCycle Forms solution is not an option). Any suggestions on this are highly appreciated!
Tanks!

Hello everyone,
I would like to add a couple of points from the SAP Product Management perspective.
Adobe has a number of stand-alone products that are the foundation for what SAP can now offer thanks to our partnership. This is exactly why we decided on a partnership that provides us with established technology, which is now integrated.
It is true that Web Dynpro is the main SAP way of integrating the interactive functions of the solution. We made this decision consciously, because the development and run-time environments provide very useful features that reduce the need for manual coding, such as the possibility of passing the data back to the backend using the Web Dynpro context. The automatism we offer here needs to be implemented from scratch with any other solution, including the Adobe stand-alone one.
While it is true that the ACF constitutes a certain limitation for the reasons you mention, Adobe will remedy this in 2005. The Reader/Web Dynpro integration will be available later this year for multiple platforms (OS, browsers) and will not require ACF anymore.
If you do not want to use a full-blown Web Dynpro application for your concrete scenario, consider developing an application that provides nothing but the interactive PDF form to the end user, to be filled in using the stand-alone Reader. The submit of the form data (with or without the PDF itself) could then happen via HTTP or e-mail.
Kind regards,
Markus Meisl
