Free Reader and Interactive Form

I am using the free Adobe reader to fill out an interactive form. When I finish, I need to save it as a non-interactive form.  Is this possible in Free Adobe reader?

My users who will be filling out the form are going to need something simple to use.  I was hoping that we could add PDF to the printer list and have them simply 'print to PDF'.    Is this possible in free Reader?

  • PDFDocumentRuntimeException Error with web dynpro and Interactive Forms

    Hi,
    I installed on my notebook the Trail Versions of:
    - SAP NetWeaver Application Server 7.00/Java AS 7.00
    - SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio Version: 7.0.14
    - Acrobat Reader 7.0.9
    - Internet explorer 7.0.5730.13
    I configured and tested the ADS after the configuration guide and i get the Version info sucessfully if I do the http://localhost:50000/AdobeDocumentServices/Config Test.
    So i developed a web dynpro application with interactive forms after a tutorial and did exactly the same (so i think i have to configure something on the server or on the client). All other Webdynpro applications without an interactive forms are running without any problems.
    when im running the application with the interactive forms this error occured:

  • Result states and interactive forms

    Hello,
    I am currently building a process that solely uses interactive forms routed via email to the processors.  Some of the forms include multiple buttons (i.e., "Approve" and "Reject") and based on the button pressed, the process must be routed to different actions.  I originally built this process using online Web Dynpro forms where the result states were specified and set via code.  Then, the action targets would be specified when the block was constructed.  Is there something similar for offline interactive forms?  Right now I am thinking of only having one submit button on the form and have the user specify the result ("approved" or "rejected") using a field on the adobe form.  The value of the field will be submitted up to the process.  The process, in turn, will inspect the value of this parameter and route the process accordingly.  Any thoughts?  I am currently using NW 2004s SP08.
    Thanks,
    Greg

    you can have 2 buttons (Approve and Reject) on the form and use Adobe scripting to set the value of Approve or Reject to a hidden field. both buttons would submit to GP with same url. The value then can be used to do content-based routing using the alternative block and decision value CO.

  • Relationship between WebDynproContext and Interactive Form (WebDynpro ABAP)

    Hi,
    I created a WebDynpro application including an interactive form. The context of the view contains a node 'Employeeinfo' with a further node 'Employeerecords' and a Attribute pdfSource. The node Employeerecords contains 2 Attributes: Employeename and Position.
    the structure looks like this:
    <i>CONTEXT
    ___Employeeinfo (node)
    ______Employeerecords (node)
    _________Employeename (attribute)
    _________Position (attribute)
    ______pdfSource (attribute)</i>
    Employeerecords should be used as a table with the columns Empl.-name and Position. The Content of this table is filled by a Supply-Method.
    I bound the properties of the interactive form like this:
    <i>pdfSource-> pdfSource
    datasource-> Employeerecords</i>
    The Interface of the interactive Form is XML created by Context of the webDynpro Component.
    When I start the application it is showing me an empty form allthough the Content was created correct by the Supply-Method ( I tested this with a WebDynproTable element in the same View). The table seems to be there ( I check this with a seperate color) but the Rows are not created.
    It seems to me that there would be no relationship between the WD-Context and the Interactive Form.
    Do you think it is a design mistake or a software problem?
    <u>I work with the following software components:</u>
    <i>AdobeLifeCycleDesigner 7.1
    Adobe Reader 7.0.9
    SAP NW 04s
    SAP GUI 6.4
    ADS is working fine.</i>
    Could you please help me?

  • WebDynpro and Interactive Forms

    Goodday Guru's,
    I've just started with SAP interactive forms and currently playing around with it. I've developed the form via NWDS and was able to launch it (the tutorials). One question here. How do i pass data between one form to another. Basically, i have one form with only 1 field. At the bottom of the form is a button (not part of the form) which will fire a plug and call form 2. What im trying to do is, when i click on the button, the data from form 1 is passed accross to form 2. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi
              Consider in your second form there is a text field, bind the same element to the context of second view, then in the "value" field bind the same element as in first view, deploy and run

  • Workflow and Interactive form

    Hi Friends,
    First for I apologize for asking the same question that has been asked several time here.  I'm trying to develop a custom interactive form that should go for workflow approval process before it can update data base tables. Can you tell w step by step process in order. I did search in th form but I am stuck with confusion of the order I should perform task. I mean show I start with sfp? what type of interface should I select?xl? then se80? can you give please guide me.
    Thanks and god bless
    Nash

    Hi,
    here is your step by step guide:
    1) define the interface structure for your form (deep DDIC structure) using SE11
    2) Create the form interface and the form using SFP
    3) Implement some logic (e.g. function module) to create the form (extract the data form persistency, fill the interface structure and call the generated function module for the form generation). Store the workflow definition (LPOR) in the form.
    4) Implement the Workflow:
       - Step 1: create the form and store it in the workflow container (ATTACH_OBJECTS)
       - Step 2: Send the email with the ATTACH_OBJECTS as attachments
       - Step 3: Wait for a "form received" event
       - Step 4: Store the received form in the Workflow container
       - Step 5: Create an "Approve" activity
       - Step 6: Store the data of the form in your persistency
    You have to implement an Email exit (SO50) to process the incoming email containing the form as attachment. Extract the LPOR of the form and throw the Workflow event you are listening to (in your Workflow step 3).
    That's quite all. Good luck.

  • Adobe forms and interactive forms

    Hi Friends,
    I am new to adobe forms. Can anybody explain in detail-
    1) Why Adobe forms instead of smartforms.
    2) Main use of Adobe forms.
    3) How to become master in this technlogy.
    regards,
    phaneendra.

    Hi,
    Why Adobe forms instead of smartforms.
    In US Under section 58 will say all the printing documents(forms) should be accessible by the blind people, so that is the reason SAP has been integrated with Adobe. So we can access adobe designer using the tcode SFP. After you develope a adobe form output by using JAWS software imapaired (blind) people can access the output. Access in the sense that software will read the contents in the output.
    Main use of Adobe forms.
    Once you activate the ADobe form system will generate the function modue, thouse function module you can call in the print program. so that pdf form will call and appropriate output will generate.
    In adobe forms we dont have windows concept, instead we have master pages,body pages, with the help of data xml file you can get the output it means no need to execute the printporgram.
    You can write the condition adobe form itself
    if it is master page select the event as layout ready and run at client
    if it is body page select the event as form ready and run at client
    You can get the lot of information in sdn regarding adobe forms
    Thanks

  • Free Reader 9 and Professional 9

    I was told that if you have Professional 9 Pro you do not need to have the reader on as well, I have uninstalled the reader on my machine.  College just got Pro and was working on a form, distributing form, everything was working fine.  I noticed that she also had reader on, told her what I was told... to uninstall the reader.
    She did, but then when she wanted to distribute the new form, it would not let her, it was greyed out.
    So she reinstalled the free reader and now can distribute the form?  What is with that?
    Also now all the files she has in pdf are opening in Reader?   Solutions are most appreciated.  Thank YOU

    Surely you have access to another machine that you can put Reader on !
    You should be running the same enviornment when testing your form as your end users will. I assume most of them will only have Adobe Reader installed ? Therefore you should test on a machine that only has Reader installed. Otherwise you don't or won't know if your testing is "real world".

  • Web Dynpro Java and Adobe Interactive forms Which Tool Should I Use?

    Hello Experts,
    Can anyone help me with deciding the right technology to use among WDJ and Interactive form by adobe. I want to prepare a presentation to showcase the strong and weak points in order to decide the final technology.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    I personally prefer Web Dynpro Java without Interactive forms in most cases.
        Interactive forms are developed on top of Web Dynpro, so you are including an extra tier with the complexity it adds.
        PDF files tend to go big and performance tends to go down. In average, my forms weight between 1 - 5 Mb so network traffic is a bottleneck.
        The scripting environment is very poor.
        On the other hand PDFs interfaces are nicer than WDJ, but I think navigation is worst in part because of the performance issues. Considering this, reporting could be a good use of Interactive Forms.
        The best scenario for using Interactive Forms is for off-line applications, which can't be done with WDJ. For example, if you want your customer to fill an order list, you can send automatically an offline pdf file wich he can fill and submit to your company, initiating a bpm.
    Best regards, Aldo.

We have tried to load our projects into the DTR and are having some issues, but we haven't even found anything that says that we should be trying to do so. Can anyone tell me if we should use the NWDI for our Interactive Forms code?
    Thank you for any help.

    Hi Christopher,
    the decision on whether to use NWDI for your developments has in nothing really to do with Interactive Forms, but more with how you develop your Java applictions in general.
    If you have the need for a centralized development infrastructure for, for example, Web Dynpro for Java applications (of which Interactive Forms can be a part), the NWDI makes sense. If it's OK for you to do only local (i.e. non-shareable) Java development, you're OK without it: Each developer simply installs a local Java stack and the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio, and away they go.
    I may be simplifying here, but again: NWDI use and Interactive Forms are in no way related to or dependent upon one another.

  • Firefox and adobe interactive forms

    Hi,
    I am trying to get a web dynpro application to work on Firefox 1.5.
    When I ran the application the first time in IE I got a popup asking to install a java object. I refused and got an error message in the browser saying it could not render the form. After installing the java plugin, everything was OK as rendering is concerned. But in FIrefox I still have the same  rendering problem...
    Have you any ideas of why this is occuring ?
    Nicolas.

    Hi Nicolas
    in NW 04 any online scenario using an Interactive Form in Web Dynpro for Java can only be run in Internet Explorer after installing SAP's Active Component Framework (see SAP Note 766191) on the respective frontend.
    This limitation will be lifted with NW 2004s SPS 7. Until then, if you want to combine Web Dynpro and Interactive Forms in online scenarios you'll have to work with Microsoft.

  • How to integrate Interactive Forms in R/3 Workflow

    Hi
    I'm a newbie in SAP and i will have my first project with SAP and Interactive Forms.
    I read a lot in this great forum about integration Adobe Forms in SAP.
    But unfortunately im not sure, which Scenario could solve my problem.
    <b>My Client use NW2004s (SP10) (ABAP + JAVA Stack) and R/3 4.7</b>
    I have to design some approval sheets with these features:
    - integration in an approval Workflow (runs in R/3)
    - the ability to attache other documents.
    - store Data in the Backend
    - changes in the documents should be traceable.
    <u>What will be the best way to solve this problem?</u>
    - ISR-Scenario ( like HCM Processes and Forms -

    is that possible in my  environment??
    - GP-Scenario
    - WD ABAP
    - WD JAVA
    Would it be a good idea that the WF provides the data for the sheet (e.g. stored in some internal tables)?
    Thanks and regards

    Hi Matthias,
    I think WDA/WDJ is best for your requirement.
    Going for WDA or WDJ depends on your prior experience/knowledge. If you are good in Java, then you can go with WDJ,else if you are good in ABAP, then you can go with WDA.
    "Would it be a good idea that the WF provides the data for the sheet (e.g. stored in some internal tables)?" --- What do you mean by this ?
