Export data to MS Excel in Adobe interactive form

Hello Experts,
I am using Webdynpro Java and ALCD 8.2. Can anyone help me out with functionality of Exporting adobe form data to excel file.
Thanks in advance,
Swami

Hi Swami,
When you say exporting data to a excel spread sheet.
Does that mean once the form is generated then user should able to export to excel, if so below is the link for that.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/709565?tstart=1
if its like for an interactive forms where user submits data the on submit event if you want to publish the form data to a spread sheet, I believ there should be a lot of posts on generating CSV files from ABAP code. this is also possible from WDJ provided if you have the respective jar files (on submit even, read data from the context, process to required format, call the excel API and write to it.)
If from ABAP handler the post from the other blogger here might help.
does this help, let me know if you are looking for something more specific.
Cheers,
Sai

Send Data back to SAP from Adobe Interactive Form

Hello friends,
I created a Adobe Interactive form using transaction SFP.
This form have a comment field.
My requirement is user enter comments in this filed and click on Submit.
It needs to call a BAPI and save data in SAP table.
thankz in Advane

Sumit Malhotra

Hi,
Create an WebService for the BAPI and in the Adobe Form create a New Data Connection of Type "WSDL", while creating the New Data Connection it asks for the Path so get the URL Path of the WebService created for the BAPI and assign it to the New Data Connection and specify the Binding for the respective fields under the "Import/Export Binding" in Binding tab of Object Pallette.
Thanks and Regards

Copy&paste from a file excel to Adobe Interactive Form

Hi all
my project is based on WDJ and Adobe Interactive Form.
I need to know if it is possible to do a copy&paste from a file excel to my Adobe Interactive Form.
Can I copy an area of data from an Excel spreadsheet (set of contiguous rows and columns)
and paste them into a text field of my form, preserving the formatting (font, size, structure of coloums/rows,...)?
Can you help me please?
Thanks!

You may try posting this question in either the Designer or Forms forum.
This forum is for the LiveCycle PDF Generator ES product - a server side document conversion module. If you want to convert the entire Excel spreadsheet to a PDF server side, then PDF Generator is the correct tool to use.

Data Passing Problem with Adobe Interactive Forms

Hello all,
I am trying to create a Guided Procedure to implement an offline Adobe Interactive form. This form is based on the standard Requisition Request form used in MSS for e-Recruiting.
I've copied the standard form and updated the layout to ZCI using the appropriate transaction (not manually). After that, I've changed the Interface and layout. But to get the Form in the portal you need to have a .xpd file. Therefore, I've tested the form in preview mode, saved a copy as a PDF file and opened this copy in the standalone Adobe Lifecycler Designer. In the standalone version you are able to save the form as a PDF (not possible using transaction SFP).
My question 1 is if this is a wrong approach and there is a better way to retrieve the xpd file.
Next to that, I wrote a RFC function to retrieve data in the backend. This function is working and now I try to pass the data to the Form in the GP (using prefilling). The data is never passed, any points that I need to check there. The data used to export is a structure that contains a number of table types, because Adobe has issues with importing tables it seems. The form is working correctly in the backend.
Points will be rewarded for helpfull awnsers!
Kind regards & thanks in advance...

Date format convert error in XML interface based Adobe interactive forms

Hi experts,
I am using XML interface based Adobe interactive form in Web Dynpro ABAP. The form just contains some date fields and numeric fields.
When I test the WD Application, the date fields appear like 0000-00-00 at the first time. And then I set the form input disable, and get the XML from the form, at the same time I get the warning message, 'date format convert error'. By the way, I have set the edit pattern, display pattern and data pattern of the date field to YYYYMMDD, but there seems no effect.
Could you tell me how to set the default date format in date field Or clear the 0000-00-00?
And another question, all of the numeric fields in the form appear like 0.0, how can I set it to empty when the form initialize?
Best Regards,
Guo Guo Qing

Hi Chintan,
Thank you for your reply.
I have tried every possible changes on the Date field, locale, pattern. But still no effect. When the PDF come up in the WDA program, the date field is still '0000-00-00', and then I export the XML date of the form, there is also '0000-00-00' in the interface field.
I can't clear the '0000-00-00' in initializiation event using javascript because if I need to open the form again, if I do this, the value user input could be cleared.
I also try using Javascrip like this
if this.rawValue == "0000-00-00"
{ this.rawValue = ""; }
The code above can't clear the initializiation zeros too.
Have you used the XML interface based online Adobe Forms? I have used XML PDF forms for output before, that's perfect. But the input forms seems so strange.
Best Regards,
Guo Guo Qing

Hyperion Web Analysis Studio - Excel Export Data PATH TO EXCEL

I have a problem with Hyperion Web Analysis Studio by Export Data (Path to Excel) function on every client (windows Vista - IE 7 - Office 2007)
The problem is when I try to use the Export data to Excel, the Path to the excel program is missing and I have to go manually over the directory and choose the excel.exe to export the report, when I restart the IE I have to do it again...
Hyperion support suggested I try adding the Excel path to my webanalysis.properties file
So I now have:
ExcelPath=C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12\\EXCEL.EXE;C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12
EXCEL.EXE
WordPath=C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12\\WINWORD.EXE;C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12
WINWORD.EXE
PPTPath=C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12\\POWERPNT.EXE;C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12
POWERPNT.EXE
MaxDataCellLimit=200000
XLExportMaxRows=60000
XLExportMaxColumns=200
ResolveDimSetAliases=false
ExportDataFullPrecision=true
To me this does not seem the way to go
This did not correct my problem.
Any ideas?
thanks
Erich

Hello,
Even we have the same issue.And changed the path in webanalysis.properties file.And it worked in entire report but in drillthru reports, export to excel 2010 didn't work and prompting to select the path to excel.Does anyone has solution for this??

How to binnding the data in the adobe interactive forms for making a table?

Hi, experts,
Function:
Through the sharing context node between adobe interactive form and a WDA for ABAP, display the data of the sflight_node in the ADOBE.
version:
Acrobat Reader 8.1.0
currently both of the SAP-ABA and SAP-BASIS SP level: 9
ADS : Successful.
The following is my action:
1.     Create a interface (Z_SFLIGHT_INTF) with a attribute node (SFLIGHT_NODE) that type is "sflight" using the transaction code "sfp"
2.     Create a form (Z_SFLIGHT_FORM) using the transaction code "sfp" with the interface Z_SFLIGHT_INTF.
3.     Trag the sflight_node in the Z_SFLIGHT_INTF to the form( Z_SFLIGHT_FORM).
4.     Open the layout tab in the form(Z_SFLIGHT_FORM), and create a table(table1). Click the table created just now, select the binding tab in the object tab, and in the Default Binding, select the SFLIGHT_NODE under the Z_SFLIGHT_FORM.
Problem 1:
Do you tell me whether is right for binding the context SFLIGHT_NODE using this way? If bind 3 context attributes in the sflight, how can I do it?
5.     Create a WDA for abap (ZZ_02_SFLIGHT), and create a view(MAINVIEW) using transaction code "se80" in the sap-gui with adobe interactive form. Set the templatesource(Z_SFLIGHT_FORM) in the adobe interactive form properties and saved, and then, datasource is "MAINVIEW_Z_SFLIGHT_FORM" automatically.
6.     But I only found the attribute SFLIGHT_NODE under the context node(Z_SFLIGHT_NODE), and I don't found the NODE ( SFLIGHT_NODE ) context in the context tab in the WDA for abap so that I don't set data to the context NODE (SFLIGHT_NODE).
Problem 2:
Do you tell me what can I do it so that I get the node SFLIGHT_NODE rather than attribute in the WDA for setting the data to the CONTEXT NODE (SFLIGHT_NODE)?
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Tao

Hi, experts,
You can reply back to me via e-mail if you think we should discuss this internally at [email protected] or [email protected]
Thanks a lot.

How to export data to an excel by preserving styles

Hi All,
I am trying to export data to an excel using ColdFusion. Below is my code.
<cfheader name="content-disposition" value="attachment; filename=dashboard.xls">
<cfcontent type="application/msexcel">
<table width="200" border="1">
<tr>
    <td width="40"> </td>
    <td width="160">
      <table width="160" border="1">
      <tr>
        <td width="20" bgcolor="red"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="black"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="red"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="black"> </td>
        <td width="20" bgcolor="red"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="black"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="red"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="black"> </td>
      </tr>
      </table>
    </td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td width="40"> </td>
   <td width="160">
      <table width="160" border="1">
      <tr>
        <td width="20" bgcolor="red"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="black"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="red"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="black"> </td>
        <td width="20" bgcolor="red"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="black"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="red"> </td><td width="20" bgcolor="black"> </td>
      </tr>
      </table>
    </td>
</tr>
</table>
When I try to execute above code by commenting <cfheader><cfcontent> then the output is perfect. styles are preserved. And when I uncomment <cfheader><cfcontent> and execute code, then an excel file will get open. But all the styles are lost. So how to preserve all styles(table width etc.) in excel.
Can anybody please assist me on this. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Manoz.

I copied your code and did the test. Result: no problem.
However, I used the following table data in my test. Did you use any data in yours? To fully test an HTML table, you have to put in some data.

<table width="200" border="1">
<tr>
    <td width="40">xxx</td>
    <td width="160">
      <table width="160" border="1">
      <tr>
        <td width="20" bgcolor="red">AAA</td><td width="20" bgcolor="black">ccc</td><td width="20" bgcolor="red">eee</td><td width="20" bgcolor="black">ggg</td>
        <td width="20" bgcolor="red">&n b s p;</td><td width="20" bgcolor="black">ddd</td><td width="20" bgcolor="red">fff</td><td width="20" bgcolor="black">hhh</td>
      </tr>
      </table>
    </td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td width="40">yyy</td>
   <td width="160">
      <table width="160" border="1">
      <tr>
        <td width="20" bgcolor="red">111</td><td width="20" bgcolor="black">333</td><td width="20" bgcolor="red">555</td><td width="20" bgcolor="black">&n b s p;</td>
        <td width="20" bgcolor="red">222</td><td width="20" bgcolor="black">444</td><td width="20" bgcolor="red">666</td><td width="20" bgcolor="black">888</td>
      </tr>
      </table>
    </td>
</tr>
</table>
Two other things to note. First, I have used &n b s p; for empty table-data. Secondly, though the MIME type you have used for excel might work, the correct value is application/vnd.ms-excel.

Couldn't post data to ''. - Adobe interactive form problem

Hi
I am trying to do a test run with adobe interactive forms, I generated a WSDL from my webservice in SAP and then added the data connection fine. I added the execute event button onto my form and set a HTTP debug point in the function inside my webservice. When I try preview and I try click the execute button every time I receive the following error:
Couldn't post data to ''
What does this error mean? It never reaches my rfc as the debug is not triggered and the error seems to be coming from adobe lifecycle designer.

Hello,
I am facing this issue too, were you able to resolve.
kindly help!
THanks,
Deepti

Process data of none bound fields in Adobe Interactive Form (stack 13)

I use a Adobe interactive form (made in Designer 7.0)which is a combination of fields bound to Web Dynpro Context fields and fields which has no binding at all (in Designer: Default binding = Normal). The Adobe Document Services on the J2ee server is of stack 13.
When I save the Adobe Form (off-line scenario)from the Web Dynpro Application, only fields bounded to the Web Dynpro Context are saved in the Form on my local file system(no warning that data isn't saved).
When I open the Form for off-line editing, I can change bounded fields and none bounded fields. But when I save and re-open the form, the data in the none bounded fields is lost.
I used the same scenario in a stack 11 j2ee/portal system, but then all data (bounded or not) in the form was saved!
Could anyone explain the difference, but better tell me how to save both kind of fields in the off-line form (and bounding all fields is <u>not</u> a solution).
Thanks in advance,
Richard

How to store adobe Interactive form PDF in archive link?

Hi everybody,
I had create a WebDybpro Abap that contain an Adobe Interactive Form, now I must store this Interactive Form into Archive Link like a PDF document.
I succeeded to save the PDF document on the archive link but after this operation, when I open this document saved, it doesn't show me the data but only the Interactive Form structure. The only data that file PDF saves are those I passed to Interactive Form during at the event initialization, but it lose all others datas that I inserted on the Interactive Form before to save.
There is one mode to save also these datas or I can store only data that I load at the initialization event?
I hope in your fast help.
