ESS Pay Stub forms and Adobe

I'm not too technical but I'm looking for some understanding.
ERP2005, ECC 6.0
We want to use ESS and have employees log in to ESS to view their pay stubs. We understand they can view it as a PDF file.
Can someone explain the process we need to go through to make this happen? I'm thinking that after payroll is run, we need to run a job to read the payroll results and store the "stub" as an Adobe file on the Adobe server right?
Then the employee logs into ESS and somehow access the server to get the pay stub right?
Or is this not the way it works.

Subha:
Your PDFs can be generated in ADS on Portal or ECC systems. From what you describe it looks like in your case it is ADS on ECC and there is a web dispatcher, doing load balancing of HTTP connects for ECC J2EE engine. In this case web dispatcher is a correct destination.
My recommendation for the troubleshooting:
1. Make sure ADS forms generated OK by accessing one of the ECC app servers directly. If Adobe form is not generated, check ADS settings. Here is a nice doc:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f03414f8-d4ce-2a10-d4b6-ab201b329d98
2. Once Adobe Form is verified, check access via Web Dispatcher. It is possible that its permission table does not allow ADS urls.
Jaya:
You should not be able to connect the portal to a webdispatcher. Only browsers talk via webdispatcher.
I am sorry, but this is not true. Web dispatcher can route pretty much any TCP/IP protocol. In most cases it is used for routing HTTP/S (not only for browsers), but it can transfer a binary format as well. One time I even used web dispatcher to do port forwarding for Microsoft WTS.

Difference between Smart Forms and Adobe Form

Hi,
Companies depend on formal documents that reflect their corporate identities and contain critical business information from live systems. SAP and Adobe partnered for automating and streamlining forms-based communication to support customers who create reusable forms for their business processes.
SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe will be used more and more as a way of simplifying and automating manual processes.
There are various advantages of Adobe forms.
SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe provides all the features and functions you need to create form-based output, such as order confirmations, invoices, or pay slips. You can either print such documents or send them by email or FAX.
Online Interactive Forms
A user logs on to the company intranet to fill in a form required by the HR department (for example, a Non-Disclosure Agreement to be signed by a new employee). The form is displayed in the browser.
As the user is logged on in the background to the company's HR system, his master data is displayed in the form. The user enters the required information in the fillable fields of the interactive form, and sends the data back to the system by pushing a button. The system extracts the data from the form and saves it in the database.
Offline Interactive Forms
The purchasing department of a company creates a bid in its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and selects the potential vendors. Based upon this data, the system automatically creates interactive bidding forms with specific vendor information, such as the address or contact person.
The forms are transmitted to the vendors by email. The vendors can fill out the forms offline (without being connected to the system that created the forms) and transmit them back to the company. The company then processes the forms automatically, and the data provided by the vendors is written to the ERP system. The purchasing department uses the data to evaluate the quotation and then issues an order.
With the integration of Adobe PDF technology into its solutions, SAP will be able to further extend its offerings of end-to-end business solutions by:
Providing for the first time the capabilities of Adobe's interactive PDF-based forms.
Integrating PDF documents into business processes that are driven by SAP applications.
Automating the process of moving XML data from SAP applications into interactive forms and vice versa.
Reducing time to design, manage, and maintain extended forms-based processes through easy-to-use forms design and deployment tools.
Offering its customers enhanced printing capabilities, in particular for interactive Web applications.
The focus of new forms technology from SAP is interactive PDF-based forms that can be created in SAP systems as a result of the integration of Adobe technology with Web Dynpro and the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio. This integration means that adobe is the future technology.

Kate

Collecting data via SharePoint using LiveCycle form and Adobe Tracker

I created a form in LiveCycle ES 8.2 and have distributed it via Adobe 9.3.4 Pro (I am running Windows 7.) For the first two days, when I opened up track forms, all was working well and I was receiving all responses. However, on the third day, I was not receiving any new responses, so I called up a couple of the people I had distributed the form to to see if they had in fact submitted it, and they had. Everything on their end looked as though the form went through. They received "sucessfully submitted" messages, although I still have not recieved them. So, I went in, created a new distribution with the people that I had not received responses from. Again, I received responses the first day, but have not received a response on any of the following days.
Is anyone else having this same issue?

UPDATE
The error that is being received is, "Acrobat cannot connect to the server, but will automatically submit your form once the server is online." Our SharePoint is showing no problems. In addition, I received a new response today out of the blue. But someone tried to resubmit a form and received the "cannot connect" error.

Help with Business Catalyst Web forms and Adobe Muse.

I created a websform to log into a secure zone using business catalyst. I pasted the webform's html into Adobe Muse. After publishing my site. The websform I created in business catalyst is deleted, but I can see all of the forms that I created using Muse in the webform section. Is there a fix for this problem? Thanks
This is the page with the forms. http://www.highestgoodclothing.com/login.html

There is a workaround. It takes a little more work, but it is definitely worth it and will solve your problem. I subscribed and learned from tutorials on the www(.)trainsimple(.)com. They have a video series called "Muse CC Business Catalyst Integration" which was very helpful. The issue that everyone on here is referring to is covered in the 3 videos labelled, "Email Sign Up Checkbox", "Moving Muse Webforms to Business Catalyst" and "Email Marketing".
Essentially, what you want to do is create a form in Business Catalyst, turn that form into a module, assign a tag to that module, then put the tag into Muse using Object > Insert HTML. This will solve Muse deleting the web forms everytime.

SAP Interactive Forms and SAP Smart Forms for Human Capital Management

Hi gurus,
pls help me understand what are SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe and SAP Smart Forms for Human Capital Management (HCM)?

What are the differences between Smart Forms and Adobe Forms?
For both of them, SAP dynamically creates a function module that must be called from an ABAP program to generate the form
In Smart Forms, it is possible to add ABAP code during generation of the form, that is not possible with Adobe Forms
It is possible to add javascript or FormCalc code in Adobe Forms, which is executed during the generation of the form

PDF not opening for ESS PZ11 Pay Stubs in ECC 5.0

We are in the process of converting from 4.6C to ECC 5.0. We use a few of the ESS applications including heavily-customized PZ11 to let our employees view their pay stubs. In ECC 5.0, the first time the Acrobat pay stub appears, it displays a very small, collapsed Acrobat with no trace of the pay stub showing. If you click on the Acrobat Print icon, it will print your pay stub. So Acrobat is not empty but it is collapsed.
If you click on one of the lines of the table view above the acrobat portion of the window listing pay periods, then the corresponding pay stub for that period appears full-blown in Acrobat.
When I do View Source for 4.6C and 5.0, the code is totally different, so I cannot pinpoint where the problem lies. Has anyone run into this problem, or have you encounted this collapsed Acrobat in any SAP web application?

Janice Ishee

Hi Janice,
Check the Internet settings for Adobe in Preferences also some versions of Adobe are known to cause problems like not opening the PDFs etc.

I just started a free trial of the Adobe XI product that allows me to create an editable PDF. I'm done creating the form and ready to export it. When I click Export PDF from the File menu, it says Adobe encountered an unexpected error. What am I doing wrong?

Good to know — there is no such application as "Adobe XI".
"Adobe" is the name of the company.
"XI" is indicative of the use of either Acrobat XI or Reader XI.
Neither Acrobat XI Pro (for which Adobe provides a free, fully functional 30-day trial) nor Adobe Reader XI (the free to download and use PDF viewer that Adobe provides) have an "Export PDF" entry under "File".
"Export PDF" only is present in Adobe Reader XI over on the right on the "Tools" panel.
The "Tools" panel provides a way for a user of Adobe Reader XI to connect to various By Subscription online services (gotta pay eh).
Export PDF is one of these. A subscription lets you send a PDF file to the online internet service (aka "cloud" service). The service then exports to a supported file format (Word / Excel / ...) and the user selects / directs where the output file is to be saved on the user's local machine.
Of course to use any of the online subscription services one must have an active (paid up in full) subscription to the service.
So ---- As described the puzzle pieces don't fit eh.
What specific Adobe (the company) applications are you using?
Acrobat XI Pro? Adobe Reader XI? Both?
Be well....

With Adobe FormsCentral in Creative Teams subscription, do I need to add an Acrobat Pro subscription to get unlimited forms and realtime responses?

We have a number of Creative Cloud for Teams seats but need to FormsCentral unlimited forms and realtime response rate.
The site makes you upgrade to Acrobat Pro subscription to get that, which is included in Creative Cloud. I did order it, but am puzzled at whether or not that was a mistake.
Anyone has an idea about this?

Hi GrattanGuru,
You have creative cloud subscription as you have mentioned. Under Adobe Reader to convert PDF to other formats Adobe offers online service called Acrobat.com services: https://www.acrobat.com/en_us.html
That would be the reason support person might have told you on call, that you have to pay for that service.
Under creative cloud you are getting Adobe applications. However under Acrobat.com you are getting online services which are providing Acrobat functions online.

Ajlan Huda.

Pay Stub and Salary

Hello,
I'm on ESS 1.0 with backend ECC 5.0.
I would like to know which RFC populates the values in Pay Stub and salary. I opened the application in NWDI and didn't see any RFCs in the Models of the Pay Stub DC or of the Used DCs.
Basically, there are two objects here. (1) Overview (2) PDF itself. I would like to know how both the objects get their data from!
Thanks

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look. But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.
