Form smart forms vs pdf

dear experts,
do you have any experience with the forms in GTS. we have to print LTVD (long term vendor declarations) and have to decide wether to go for smart forms or pdf (adobe, incl this java stacks and ads configuration)
appreciate any experience feedback.
many thanks for you time
peter

Hi,
No, there is no technical restriction on using particular layout. u can use whatever u wanna to use. For know more about smartforms go thru,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/a5/de6838abce021ae10000009b38f842/frameset.htm
Smartform have following advantages:
1. Creating and maintaining forms in less time than SAPScript.
2. Adapting forms without any programming knowledge due to entirely graphical user interface. ( ofcourse you need to write driver program for smartforms, but you can write most of your code in smartform itself.. see the above given link for more detail)
3. Integrating input elements into the HTML output, which enables you to use a form in Internet applications as well.
I hope this will help you.

Strange Problem with Forms (Smart Forms)

I have lately been experiencing a strange problem with standard forms in the system. We have WebAS640 / ECC5.0 System. Soon after the initial run of patches, most forms in the system are showing the character '#' in place of formatted texts.
I have searched the internet and most forums, but have not found a solution. Since this is the standard forms that i am talking about (unmodified and untouched) so i assumed this had something to do with our patch levels. However that is only an assumption.
In particular i am having problem with the billing invoice type RD00, form name: LB_BIL_INVOICE. I have traced the problem to this much. The form shows the expected text, where no character format is applied to it. And where ever there is some character format, it just shows a string of hashes ('#'). The style being used by this form is LO_STYLE.
I am also listing my patch levels in case that helps.

Hi Ashan!
Interesting problem. You are seeing replacement characters, because assigned font(size) is not installed (somewhere, SAP or printer).
But since this is completely standard, open an OSS-request - maybe it's not as fast as SDN, but I'm sure you will get a qualified answer (and solution).

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)?
regds
jack

read here
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/SAPInteractiveFormsbyAdobe#SAPInteractiveFormsbyAdobe-WhatarethedifferencesbetweenSmartFormsandAdobeForms%3F
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

Transfer Order Printing using smart forms

Hi All
Our requirement is to print Transfer Order ( WM ) for Goods Receipt & Delivery using Smart forms.
Can we change the existing standard format (SAP script ) and use our own form(smart form ) to include some other data & print.
If possible how to replace the SAP script to Smart form.
Request someone could guide in detail.
Thanks in advance.
Samson

Hi
When you create Smartform try to replace it in customizing OMLV. Not sure if it will work as it refers to Sap Scirpt in help description.
It is also possible to write Z program for TO printing and hardcode SmartForm there.

where as smart forms are
SAP Smartforms can be used for creating and maintaining forms for mass printing in SAP Systems. The output medium for Smartforms support printer, fax, e-mail, or the Internet (by using the generated XML output).
Smart Forms
Form Printing in the Internet Age
Smart Forms was introduced in SAP Basis Release 4.6C as the tool for creating and maintaining forms within SAP solutions, such as mySAP CRM, mySAP SCM, mySAP SRM, and mySAP Healthcare, and is already used by numerous customers. Smart Forms provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface which enables you to carry out the crucial tasks of creating and adjusting forms without any programming skills.
Key Benefits of Smart Forms
Smart Forms allows you to reduce considerably the implementation costs of SAP solutions since forms can be adjusted in minimum time.
The process of designing the form and creating the form logic is completely supported by the Form Builder with integrated graphical user interfaces for page design, table design and text. Furthermore, the Form Builder provides a tree structure to navigate through your form description and to determine the main processing order. Of course, drag-and-drop as well as copy-and-paste functions are also included.

Email PDF smart form Support Desk

Hi SDN,
I'm working on support desk - solution manager, and i need to send the solution of the support message by email to the final user.
There is an standard action (SLF1 -SMSD_SERVICE_ORDER_DNO_OUTPUT) that sends the solution in pdf format by email, but we couldn't set the receivers online.
So, I'm using an "z" action that executes an smart form, and i would like to send the smart form in pdf format by the internet.
I'd like to use fm SO_DYNP_OBJECT_SEND, because the user must fill the receivers on-line
So far i have de OTF, and i know that i can make a conversion to pdf format, but i've the following problem
- the pdf in attach is empty, it may be because of the format, or may be i'm not using correctly this function.
Thanks in advance,
Maria João Rocha

Thanks for your reply.
I'm working on it, and Ive seen the SCOT documentation, so I've change my strategy.
Right now I'm using some of the methods of the BOR.
I think I've to code because I want a popup to introduce the list of the receivers and the mail body, and of course I want to attach a smart form on pdf format.
But I cant send the mail because of the error: Erro interno: SO_OBJECT_MIME_GET Exceção: 2
Can you help me on this? What Im doing wrong? What document class I need to use on the AttachmentType?
Thanks in advance.

Error in calling/converting smart form from ECC to pdf in portal.

Hi,
We have a requirement in our project where we have to show IT form in portal exactly in the way payslip are shown in ESS
Screen, that is in the pdf form in ess portal screen.
For this my HR abap consultant has made one customize smart form which is being called from a RFC FM.
After the FM lf_fm_name gets executed , the OTF data is being captured and then converted in to PDF.
After that the PDF is then converted into XSTRING format which is then supplied to the portal side through export parameter
of the RFC.
Now when we debugged the RFC, the conversion is taking place perfectly fine in to XSTRING.This is wat we assume.
Portal Side: I have used Iframe ui ELEMENT in my webdynpro java and its property source I have binded with a value attribute
of type string and I am executing above customize RFC given to me by my HR abap consultant and after executing that RFC with
userID and payroll year as its import parameter I am taking export parameter of that RFC with name pdf_string of type XSTRING
of that RFC into my webdynpro java value attribute which i binded to source property of Iframe.
Now when we see the output in portal , first of all pdf is not getting generated and its showing the error message:
file does not begin with '%pdf-' and secondly errored Adobe form getting opened outside Iframe window its not coming within
Iframe window like what payslip comes inside Iframe UI element.
I want to know what mistake we are doing in our ABAP coding or portal coding.
Please help.

Hi Satyam,
You can use the existing SAP GRT framework for developing the app.
Its easy and provides more features.

Display SMART form as PDF in WD ABAP

Hi ,
To display smart form as PDF , I am following the SDN article :
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0de1eb8-0b98-2910-7996-8a3c2fcf6785?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
In my component , I have created the view VIEW_PDF, for this . I have created Adobe interactive UI element, and bind the property source to the attribute (XSTRING) where I will get PDF (after OTF conversion).
First of all I am using the FM SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME and usingf the import parameter fm_name .
Then using this FM
CALL FUNCTION lv_fm_name
EXPORTING
   OUTPUT_OPTIONS             = lwa_output_options
    GW_VENREQDAT               = lwa_venreqdat
    GW_REQHEADER               = lwa_venreqhdr
IMPORTING
   JOB_OUTPUT_INFO            = lv_ssf_output.
from smart form ZVM_SFM_SUMMARY,I want to get the data in OTF format using the importing parameter JOB_OUTPUT_INFO of the above FM.
But I am not able to retrieve the data .Please direct me , where am I missing?
For converting it to PDF , I am using the FM CONVERT_OTF .
regards,
amit

Problem in converting smart form into PDF

HI Experts,
                  I am using a Function Module CONVERT_OTF for converting smart form into pdf file for send it to with attachment.
But i got a error when i am using that FM.
Runtime Errors         CONVT_NO_NUMBER
unable to interpret *292 as a no.
Is that because my file size too large about 13 pages of PDF?
and when i run it for other smart forms which have 2 or 3 pages of PDF, its working perfectly.
can anyone tell what is problem with that FM?
Thanks
Shakun

Hi,
I had the similar issue and after analysis I have that this is the issue by not passing the IMPORTING parameter of the Function Module "BIN_FILESIZE". Please try to pass some variable to this paramter and then this will be completely rectified.
DATA ; v_filesize     TYPE i.
*--Convert OTF data to PDF data
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
    EXPORTING
      format                = 'PDF'
      max_linewidth         = 132
    IMPORTING
      bin_filesize          = v_filesize
    TABLES
      otf                   = it_otfdata
      lines                 = it_pdfdata
    EXCEPTIONS
      err_max_linewidth     = 1
      err_format            = 2
      err_conv_not_possible = 3
      err_bad_otf           = 4
      OTHERS                = 5.
Please verify whether this reolves the problem for you.
