Hi Om,
I need to fix this issue and I had taken help from Rohini.
I will try to explain the issue in detail.
I am trying to execute Tax Reporter Transaction PU19. Iam executing Quarterly Form 941 for USA for a Tax Company and a Period. This report gives an output Log and the log had generated errors in the log section General errors and Warnings.
The errors are :
Errors in generating the PDF Form : HR_F_941 and
Errors in generating the PDF Form : HR_F_941_SCHED_B
As we are new to the PDF Forms we don't know why the report has generated and how to find out by debugging or any other way.
So I need to find out how the above errors can be identified?
Thanks and Regards,
Madhan.

Importing data from Excel to generate "filled" PDF form that was created in Designer

Hi there
I have a form that was created in Designer. The data that I need to import is all in a Excel spreadsheet with the same fields as the form.
Is it possible to import all the data so that it generates a printed PDF with the data on each line of excel?
For example:
If my excel file shows:
First Name      Last Name     Phone Number        UserID
John               Doe               416-777-9970           johndoe997
Mike               Rogers           905-887-3398          mikerogers997
In this example I would like to generate a PDF form for John and for Mike, each with their details filled out on the form based on the data in the excel sheet
Thanks in advance!

Assuming you have Adobe Acrobat 11:

How to generate a pdf form from a webform

HOW TO GENERATE POPULATED PDF?
We used to fill out the forms at work longhand (yes, with a pen!)
Now since we created the form using Acrobat 9 Pro, we just enter the data on computer, and print out the form.
Acrobat 9 form creator was great - I found it quite easy to use.
Now, I'd like to automate the process even further.
Each week we receive response forms from our website (maybe about 20-25). These response forms have about 10 fields that
people have completed with their information.Currently I am printing out the response form and then open up the acrobat form and I enter their information into the pdf (and then print).
1. Is it possible to automatically populate a pdf from the response form ? (without me having to print out the response form and re-enter the data)
2. Is it really complicated; is this something I can do with some software/learning or do i need a programmer?
Thank you kindly for any advice or direction.

It sounds like you are using the forms in your local shop and that e-mail may work fine. If e-mail submission works fine (not recommended for normal use, but find in a controlled environment where you can be sure each e-mail client is running MAPI), then add a submit button to submit a FDF or XML data file (I like FDF when using forms in Acrobat, Designer only uses XML forms). You can then import the FDF or XML data to the form and print it. You can even manipulate the FDF or XML data and add it to a database of some form, furthering your processing even more.

Generate editable PDF form XML

Hi,
i need to generate editable pdf "as generated from live cycle designer" from XML.
please suggest me the way, which live cycle service i should use.
Thanks

Hello Hussein,
Thanks for your response. I should've specified that I don't want all fields editable. I want them to maintain their read-only attribute from the template. Based on the text below from the document you mentioned, I think I'm using the correct setting.
To maintain the Read Only check box selection for each field:
To maintain the setting of the Read Only check box on a field-by-field basis in the
output PDF, set the property "all-fields-readonly-asis" to "true". This property will
override the settings of "all-field-readonly".
Please let me know what you think. Thanks again.

Generating a pdf form from oracle 10g databse.

Hi,
i am looking at some procedure/a code that will enable me to fetch data from oracle tables into tabular form and print the same in the form of a pdf file and allow me to attach the same file as an auto attachment to mail it to someone who is using the application.
wat i have been trying to do is get the data from database into .txt or .xls file format and convert it into pdf file.But for obvious reasons the tabular look isnt seen in the output pdf file.
and i have no idea of auto attaching the generated pdf file as an attachment to mail it.
any help would be of great use to me .
thanks in advance!!

If the database resides on a solaris environment, the operating system commands (if installed)
a2ps (ascii to postscript) and
ps2pdf (postscript to pdf) may be called to produce a pdf file out of an ascii file.
Creating the ascii file, converting it and sending it through email are different tasks
and there a few options for doing so.

Hi,
I will try to find the standard function module. If there is no such standard function module, then we need to create a custom function module.
Check this link:
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/adobe]
Points that you can note:
1) Adobe Interactive forms can be created & connected to SAP database using ABAP Workbench, through WebDynpro.
2) Also adobe Interactive forms can be created & connected to SAP database using Transaction SFP.
3) And for both of the above 'Adobe Live cycle Designer' should be installed on the front end.

Generate PDF form without hidden fields

Generating a PDF in Web Dynpro without using InteractiveForms

Hello All,
I have been following this tutorial <a href="http://sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/webdynpro/tutorial%20on%20working%20with%20the%20pdf%20document%20object%20-%2032.htm">http://sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/webdynpro/tutorial%20on%20working%20with%20the%20pdf%20document%20object%20-%2032.htm</a> from SDN and is currently stuck.
What I'll like to achieve
1) User logs on to the system and a table displaying a list of items for approval appears.
2) the user is then able to select a row item from the table and click on 'approve'. In doing so, my application should generate a pdf form in the background and attach it as an email attachment and sent that email to an appointed vendor.
Problem
As there is no InteractiveForm involved, I do believe I will need to provide the template (.xdp) so that the PDF can be generated. In the tutorial, it suggests doing this (I modified it a little to reflect my own path name):
InputStream templateSourceInputStream = getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("d:
usr
sap
pdf
PDF
XBCRPDFPreviewView_InteractiveForm1.xdp");
However, I am given a NullPointerException when I attempt to do that. Does anyone has any idea what may have caused the error ? Thank you.

Hi Kwok Wei ,
According to the convention the any file can be placed in the src/mimes/Components/<component package + component name>/folder of your webdynpro project along with other generated files of your application.
After this you just need to pass the filename to the getResourcestream() method,it automatically picks up the file from the folder.

How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central.

How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central. It's for an online Diet Questionnaire. After people complete the form I'd like them to click "SUBMIT" and the completed form will be emailed to me.

This can be a bit confusing because Acrobat 11 comes with the desktop app that allows you to create simple PDF forms without having a FormsCentral account. Some people find this helpful, but you need to understand that when you generate the PDF form, it is Reader-enabled by Acrobat. In order to edit the form further in Acrobat, you have to create a non-enabled copy of the form. You do this in Acrobat by opening the form and selecting: File > Save a Copy
and opening the copy. It is not opened automatically.
You can now add a button and set it up to submit by email, either using a "Submit a form" action or the submitForm JavaScript method. You can set it up to include just the form data or the entire PDF, and will want to use a mailto type URL. Submitting the form to the FormsCentral server has a number of important advantages over email (much more reliable, more secure, etc.), so you might want to consider it.
If the form needs to be saved with Reader versions prior to 11, then you will need to Reader-enable the document. In Acrobat 11 you do this by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

How to generate a PDF using a webservice?

Hi all,
I've got the following code in a webservice that generates a PDF:
// Create a ServletOutputStream object
ServletOutputStream oOutput = objResponse.getOutputStream();
// Set the HTTPResponse objects content type
objResponse.setContentType(objMyOutputContext.getContentType());
// Get the length of the output stream
int outLength = objMyOutputContext.getOutputContent().length;
// Create a byte array and allocate outLength bytes
byte[] cContent = new byte[outLength];
// Populate the byte array by invoking getOutputContext
cContent = objMyOutputContext.getOutputContent();
// Write a byte stream back to the web browser. Pass the byte array
oOutput.write(cContent);
The problem is that I don't know how to pass the HttpServletResponse object (objResponse) to the WebService so I can obtain the ServletOutputStream which is needed to create the PDF form in a web browser. When I pass this object there's an error because this type of parameter is not serializable.
Can anyone help? Does anyone know how to serialize this object? Is there any other possibility to generate a PDF form using a webservice with a serializable parameter?
Thanks

It sounds good, maybe you can get more info at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/

Save the PDF Form with Field Name

HI Guys,
I have the Requirment in PDF Form.The PDF Form is generated with the Adobe Live Cycle Designer.After generating the PDF Form the user filled the details in the form and save the filled form.while clicking the Save button the default PDF name is displayed in the File name box.The Requirement is iam having one field in the form.The Field name value should needs to displayed in the File name box during saving.Is it possible.Once its possible please let me know.This is needs to be delivered very shortly.
Thanks & Regards,
SatheshKumar R

You can save the form with name generated from a field's value, but therefore you will have to install a folder level script first and design a custom save button in your form.
You cannot do this with the applications save or save as... buttons, and you also cannot rename a file on submit.
Here's an example form and a folder level script. (Maybe to complicated fdr newbies)
