  • Configuration of Guided Procedures for Adobe Forms

    Hi all,
    we are about testing the Guided Procedures with Adobe Forms.
    I found 3 documents here in SDN:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b9ea34c2-0701-0010-e2a2-d8e9cd6d85dc
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/8a696cea-0c01-0010-d494-9b0b8ce7565f
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/06717aea-0c01-0010-b28f-e6494458788f
    My problem now is the configuration and the understanding of the "Web Service Security" in the Visual Administrator.
    In the mentioned guides above it is written to choose "SLD" for the URL and the following three values under "Synchronize with System Landscape":
    System Name: 
    WS Name:  {com.adobe/AdobeDocumentServices}{AdobeDocumentServicesAssembly.jar}
    WS Port:  {com.adobe/AdobeDocumentServices}{AdobeDocumentServicesAssembly.jar}ConfigPort_Document
    Now my questions:
    1. According to the guides it seems that the ADS must be installed on the same J2EE where the central SLD is running. Is that a must? I don´t hope so!
    2. What do I have to take for ? The SID and machine of the SLD or of the J2EE where the ADS is installed (this would be my own Portal)?
    3. My portal is of version Netweaver2004s SP10, my SLD ist of version 6.40 SP18.
    Could this be a problem here?
    Thanks,
    Rossi

  • Guided procedures - offline Adobe IF

    Hey everyone,
    I've came across an issue which is still unsolved regarding the implemention of Guided procedures and an offline Adobe Interactive Form.
    I made a process in which an administrator can approve or reject a request. I created the Adobe Form in a callable object so that the user
    can send his data in a offline-mode. Normally, the Adobe Form would trigger the corresponding process in Guided Procedures, but it
    doesn't. (impersonalized form with mapping). I am almost positive there is nothing wrong with the configuration, I followed a tutorial.
    I know the Adobe Interactive Form is received by Portal, since I can see the amount of requests in Guided Procedures - Administration -
    Manage Impersonalized forms.
    Any help / thoughts are appreciated.

    Hi guys,
    Found the solution to this problem.
    Since I am working with an impersonalized form (anonymous logon), I had
    to assign default roles to my process in order to get this process triggered
    by the Adobe Interactive Form.
    Thanks!

  • Online Adobe forms in Guided Procedures

    Calling SAP GP experts,
    Has anyone been able to successfully implement online Adobe forms in a Guided procedures. If yes, can you share tricks involved..
    The objective is to throw open an online Adobe form to the user to fill in.. The Adobe form will have pre-filled data (from previous Actions in the GP) and there will be the Approval process step after the form is filled...
    Cheers
    Nitesh

    Dear Alan,
    Yes i have generated the form's submit URL... It works fine when the pdf is saved in the users desktop and upon clicking the submit button it kicks of a Process with a Visual Approval callable object..
    However my requirement is that the Adobe form be submitted online during GP runtime.. The process is initiated by the User in the portal (not offline) who wants to put in a request. When the user initiates a process an Adobe form is opened to him in which he fills in his request. This request is then <b>forwarded for Approval</b>.. After Approval a digital signature need to be attached to the document and further on it needs to be sent out to other User Groups.. In case the request is <b>rejected</b> then the control goes back to the requestor who can either modify his request and send it again for approval or simply delete the request.. Throughout the whole process Print of the request can be taken at any time. Considering the requirements of Print & Digital signature i think using Adobe would be the way to go.. What do you think about implementing such a requirement in GP with Adobe UIs? Is it the right way of going about it?
    Quite an interesting nut to crack.. Ain't it ??

  • Adobe Forms in Guided Procedures

    Hi all,
    I have the 'My First Days' Guided Procedure assinged to a user and am trying to customize it for a demo. I am trying to display an adobe form in a separate section in the My First Days Procedure and so far have been able to configure the action and block in order to display the adobe form.
    When i try to add the Adobe form as a 'Interactive form' type, it gives me an error saying 'Could not retrieve template fields: Wrong document format or adapter mismatch.'
    I have checked the adobe configuration and it seems to be working fine. Can anyone tell me why i get this error and what is the best way to resolve this issue?
    Also, if Adobe forms work fine for manager self service in our systems, should they work fine in the Guided Procedures too ?
    Thanks,
    Bhushan.

  • Guided Procedures - Integration of Webdynpro Java with Adobe Interactive fo

    Hi All,
    We have created Webdynpro java application with Adobe interactive forms.It works fine in NWDS and also in Webdynpro Content Administrator.
    When we have called this component in Guided Procedures (callable object - Webdynpro (GP Interface)), the form screen has not displayed.
    Plz help us..

    Hi,
    Scenario : User have to log into GP runtime, When he clicks the first action it should display the adobe form. He has to fill the details and submit the form. This form is routed for Approver 1 for review. The first approver will log into portal,view it (UWL),approve it and sent for second approver.The same process happens with the second approver.After both approvals, a BAPI updates the data in the interactive form in R/3
    All the process have to be done in Guided Procedures, then integrated with Portal at the end.
    We have tried creating an Wdynpro Java app with online adobe form and executed successfuly in NWDS and also in Webdynpro content administrator.
    issue:-
    When we create a callable object(webdynpro app(gp interface CO)) in GP and test, we were unable to view the form.
    Now our question is : what are we mising ?
    Is it possible to integrate online interactive adobe form with guided procedures?
    Is our approach to solve the scenario right?
    any links or tutorials will be greatly appreciated
    TIA,

  • Default email subject for Adobe Form from Netweaver Guided Procedure

    Hi everyone.
    When we generate an Adobe form from a Netweaver Guided Procedure, a default subject of "Interactive Form {xxxxxxxx}" is used where xxxxxxxx is the Process ID of the Guided Procedure.  Is this default subject configurable?  Where can I change it?
    If we define a custom email template for the form,  the subject of the email becomes our custom subject concatenated with the Process ID.  Where is it defined that the Process ID must be included in the email subject?
    Thanks,
    .. Craig

    Hello,
    I have no experience regarding the table of pictures, but you could try a workaround if you don´t insist of displaying the images. You could attach the pictures as attachments (you know, the little attachments icon on the left in your Reader). The ABAP coding for this can be found in SE38 FP_* and when you check the descriptions you should be able to find the one working with the attachments.
    Would be better than nothing I guess,

  • Data passing problem with Adobe Form & Guided Procedure

    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...

    Hi Eduard Vilar,
    Go to sfp transaction, open the respective form, enter the transaction 'fb_xdp_down' to import the xdp layout and 'fb_xdp_up' to upload.
    Hope this will hwlp. (i beleive you meant xdp rather than xpd )

    Dear all,
    I have been using NW2004s with SP8.
    In order to use the Adobe interactive forms , is there any other prerequisite ? Like do I have to get any license , authentication from SAP ?
    In guided procedures, like SAP workflow, is there any way to get the approvers at run time ? May be based on the value of context parameter etc.
    Your experience will be of great help to me.

  • Problem in mapping -Guided procedures

    Hi All,
          I have a interactive form parameter called Price of type decimal in Guided procedure, and i have a BAPI parameter StdPrice of type decimal. when i tried to group these two parameters the "Group" button gets disabled. When i  tried by checking Ignore types i was able to group the parameters but once i save the action and look back its ungrouped again.
    Is there any difference between the BAPI decimal parameter and Adobe interactive form decimal parameter?
    Note : EP Version 7.0 and SP13, Adobe Live Cycle Designer 7.1
    With Regards,
    Gopal.

    The problem turned out to be in the php code.
    Here's how I changed it
    <?php
    require_once ('C:/webtools/zendframework/zf/library/Zend/Amf/Server.php');
    $server = new Zend_Amf_Server();
    // the following methods provide the lazy loading of services and value objects
    $server->addDirectory( realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . "/../services/") );
    $server->addDirectory( realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . "/../vos/") );
    echo($server->handle());
    ?>
    Earlier I wasn't taking into account the change of directories for service and value object files.

  • Form with HTTP Submit.. Do I need a Guided Procedure ? How to Configure it?

    Hi masters.
    I have a adobe interactive form with HTTP submit, it works when it runs online, but when I save the pdf file, open, fill and submit, the server does not recieve any request.
    I have read a lot of tutoriais but I still haven´t find a specific tutorial from the begin to the end of this process.
    Should I create a Guided Procedure to recieve this form from http submit ? How can I create it ?
    NetWeaver CE

    Regardless of whether this bar is displayed or not, you should be able to access what is in the "Favourites" folder in a few ways.
    Firstly via the Bookmarks link in Safari. This is the first icon directly to the right of the address bar. Pressing this will open your Bookmarks menu. If you see the word Bookmarks in blue select this and it will take you to the main bookmarks page, and the word Bookmarks will appear in black bold text. If you see Bookmarks in black bold text when first clicking Bookmarks you are where you need to be. The first link on here will be Favourites and have a star icon right next to it, click on Favourites and you will see what has been added to your Favourites folder - if anything.  Also there is an Edit button in the bottom right of this screen, if you aren't going where you expected when selecting a URL in here press Edit, press the > arrow to the right of the favourite name, is the URL correct? If not change it, and click DONE on the keyboard - appears where Return key normally shows on the right-hand side.
    If you are opening Safari and have no tabs already open or have already closed pages so none are open you will see icons that represent the contents of your Favourites folder displayed at the top of the page.
    Also with a page loaded if you click in to the URL field then you will see these icons appear again, together with the keyboard at the bottom of the page.
    Hope this helps.
