Help needed (New to Interactive form Integration for PDF)

hi all,
I am new to this intractive form integration.
I just want to know from where i can get the basic infomration about my current setup that i have and if there is a need to upgrade then from where i can get the installables.
1 How can i see my current installation is running on which support pack?
2 Where i can get the Adobe life cycle disigner I mean it comes with some NWS version or you have to buy seperately if so then from where and what does it cost
3 From where i can get the Installable to install the ACF on my machine ? Is it also cost something or freely available.

1. With your Java stack running, call the Engine homepage at http://<server>:<port>/index.html, and click on System Information. (You can also go there directly: http://<server>:<port>/sap/monitoring/SystemInfo.)
The information is on the top right under Software Components. You can also use the link All components to get more details, i.e. the ADS version.
2. Go to the SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/download and search for 'Designer'. Choose version 7.1 if you're higher than NW 2004s SPS5, otherwise take 7.0.
3. All ACF information is in SAP Note 766191.

Help Needed with Adobe Interactive Forms scripts

Hi Gurus,
I have an Interactive form in which I have 5 radio buttons. Upon selecting any one of the radio buttons, some values (Ex : If user selects the first radi button 20 should be displayed in the text box. If he selects the second 21 should be displayed in the textbox.). In my script, I need to capture the checked value of the radio buttons ( They are grouped) and how I should reference radio button on the form/subform

Help needed with Custom Web ADI Integrator for Mail Merge

Hello,
I've created a custom web adi integrator to generate letters to advise of end of probationary periods.
The problem is that at the end of the process when the letter is opened in Word 2007, it only displays one record, and does not allow me to "preview results" and cycle through the records (this part is greyed out). It appears that the letter is not merged with the data spreadsheet although it does display one record from it.
Our EBS version is 12.1.3 and we are using Office 2007.
These are the steps I have followed so far (in brief):
- Create a view to provide data (names, addresses etc).
- Set up a new custom function (similar to seeded function HR Integrator Setup).
- Add the custom function and other functions to Desktop Integration responsibility.
- Add the relevant functions to end user's responsibility menu.
- Add new category "other" to HR_ADI_DOCUMENT_TYPE lookup.
- Create Download Excel Integrator by choosing Desktop Integration -> HR Integrator Setup. Enter "PER" for application and my view for the View Name. Upload.
- Create another Excel document by choosing Desktop Integration -> HR Maintain Form Function Associations, and choose the integrator created above. Enter my custom function name in the generated spreadsheet and upload.
- Define a layout for the new integrator.
- Run the integrator under the end user responsibility and save the resulting spreadsheet, which is full of data as expected.
- Create the letter in Word, using the saved spreadsheet as the data source for the merge. At this point the merge is successful.
- Go to Desktop Integration -> Document Management and upload the Word mail merge document. Associate it with the custom document type created earlier.
- Link this document to my integrator.
- Go in as end user responsibility and run the integrator.
At this point after enabling macros it loads 2 spreadsheets (one full of data) and the Word document, but the Word document only displays one record (approx the 10th in the list - there are about 100 in total). All of the relevant merge-related menu items on the "Mailings" tab are greyed out.
Can anyone offer any pointers please?
I did wonder whether it mattered if I changed the names of documents, e.g when I download and save the resulting spreadsheet full of data which I then use to merge to in the Word Doc, is it OK to call the spreadsheet anything or should it be left as the default name?
Many thanks,
Hazel

Hi Nandhakumar.P,
thanks for your response. Please find the answers below:
- Set up a new custom function (similar to seeded function HR Integrator Setup).
System Administrator -> Application -> Function. Query back the seeded User Function Name = "HR Integrator Setup", make a note of the details, then add a custom function entitled "NTC_HR_LETTERS" with the same details.
- Add the custom function and other functions to Desktop Integration responsibility.
System Administrator -> Application -> Menu. Query back User Menu Name = "Desktop Integration Menu" and add the following functions:
WITHOUT PROMPT
a. HR Integrator Setup
b. HR Maintain Integrator Form Functions
c. HR Disable Integrator
d. HR ADI Document Overwrite Page
e. HR ADI Document Upload Page
f. The custom function created in previous step ("NTC_HR_LETTERS")
WITH PROMPT
g. HR ADI Document Management Page
- Add the relevant functions to end user's responsibility menu.
System Administrator -> Application -> Menu. Query back menu attached to custom responsibility of end user that will perform the action once set up.
Add the following:
a. The custom function "NTC_HR_LETTERS" as created previously (without prompt)
b. Desktop Integration - Create Document (With Prompt. This function will be used to generate letters)
- Add new category "other" to HR_ADI_DOCUMENT_TYPE lookup.
SA_Application Developer -> Application -> Lookups -> Common. Query back Type = HR_ADI_DOCUMENT_TYPE and add a new entry entitled "Other". This document type is later assigned to the Word document I upload and link to the integrator.
I hopoe that answers your questions.
Regards,
Hazel

Help needed with PCR Interactive Forms.

Hello,
We are trying to get a prototype system going to show HR some WebDynpro and Adobe Forms technology. I'm focusing on our PCR's right now. I have fixed one problem by configuring the ABAP WAS in the java visual admin http destinations. I now want to take our ISR's and map them to adobe forms in QISRSCENARIO. I am looking at the available forms and wish to configure.
- Transfer an Employee out of my Org - ISR_FORM_SPTR - The inactive SPTR form displays the following "The creation of this form has not yet been completed. Therefore, you cannot use the form at this time. The finished form will be available with the next release.SAP AG "
- Move an Employee to a Vacancy in My Org - ISR_FORM_???? - This may be some old custom development on our part because I'm seeing nothing close in ISR forms.
- Change an Employee in Current Position - ISR_FORM_SPPD - Displays form after a popup shows soem formcalc errors.
- Separate an Employee - ISR_FORM_SPSD - Displays form
- Change Working Time of an Employee - ISR_FORM_SPWT - Displays form after a popup shows soem formcalc errors.
This is just a prototype so I'm not lookign to mesh all out pcr customizations. I do have some questions though.
I can't seem to find anything telling me what adobe forms are delivered for a particular version of SAP. We are on ECC5.0.
Is a form marked inactive simply not delivered? If not how do I activate?
Basically we'll want to be using adobe forms wherever delivered for ECC50. Any pointers to documentation on what's delivered vs. what I'm seeing in QISRSCENARION would be greatly appreciated as well as any general docs on working with, modifying forms.
Thanks,
Doug

Multiple search helps in ABAP Adobe interactive forms not working....

Hello,
I am working on my first interactive form. I have a couple of fields to which I have attached a search help. However, I am able to use the search help for only one field in a session. If I use the search help on one field then I am unable to use it on another field which uses the search help.
Can some one help? I am new to interactive forms and this is my first form.
I appreciate your help in advance.
Thank you,
Leena

Hi Leena,
Are the Data dictionary fields which you are using contains value range. Because i am only getting value help only for the fields for which there is value range defined in the dictionary. The problem is only for the fields for which there is no value range defined. If you have solution to this problem I will definitely award points to you. But in your thread for me its not possible to reward points, so you can answer the following thread:
[How to get Value help in Adobe forms;
Will reward points if found your answer helpful.

Need help with a customized interactive web application for apparel

Help!!!!
Hi I am a web designer at beginners stage with web
devlopment. I am seeking guidance on how to develop a customized
interactive web application so that the end user can change color
and patterns of apparel on vector images such as teamsports
uniforms and tshirts. Once the design is customized to their liking
they can save it with all of the spec information in a file to
there desktop or to a database to send to the manufacturer.
Also looking for a possible way to use a CMS so I can upload
templates of the garment easily for the end user to customize
online. Can this be done and if so how? This is an example the kind
of application I am looking for:

I am in desperate need of some brilliant developer to help
with this.
Thanks in advance for anyone who is willing to assist or give
me guidance,

"Reap what you sew"

some parts of that are doable using non-advanced skills, but
will be difficult and unwieldly if there are more than a few
colors/patterns.
saving the image to the server is a bit more advanced and
you're going to need some server-side scripting like php, perl, asp
etc. in addition to some flash programming ability.

Problem with Input help inside an adobe interactive forms

Hi Experts,
I'm currently implementing a Webdynpro ABAP application containing a Interactive forms.
I'm using Adobe Live Cycle Designer 8.0, Acrobat reader 9.2, Internet Explorer 7.0
My problem is that when I click on the "input help" button inside the adobe form, he automatically refresh all the forms UI element with their initial values. Is-it a refresh event included when we pressed the "Input help" button or an other event? How Can I deactivate that action, event?
Because since he automatically refresh my form data I loose the context current values.
Thanks in advance,
Louis

strange, but you could compare the version of the zci scripting
in your form in the hierarchy tab there are variables and the ContainerFoundation_JS script --> the first line
// DO NOT MODIFY THE CODE BEYOND THIS POINT - xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - ContainerFoundation_JS gives you the requested information about the scripting version...have a look at this version...

perhaps this note helps:
Note 999998 - Analyzing errors with Adobe Integration of Web Dynpro ABAP
--> for debugging!
A client debug function is available as of SAP NetWeaver Release 7.00 Support Package 19 (or after you implement Note 1287114) and for all Enhancement Packages. Activate this client debug function using the URL parameter "sap-wd-clientDebug=X" (attach it to the URL using "&"). You can then activate the client trace using the key combination <CTRL><ALT><SHIFT>T (move the focus to a Web Dynpro UI element, for example, to an InputField, do NOT move the focus to Adobe Reader). The system opens a new browser window with the trace output. The trace may contain an error entry ("Network Error", and so on). The URL also activates the Adobe document services (ADS) trace. The trace outputs of the ADS are copied to the generated PDF document as an attachment. Open the file "Error.pdf" of the ADS trace: Form errors (for example, script errors) are listed there.

Adobe Interactive Forms Tutorials for Beginner

Hi Experts,
I am new to Adobe Interactive Forms. Just gone through some documents. Saw some sample forms. But i need some tutorials guide to start the developement in NWDS. Kindly help me.
Thanks,
Bidyut

Hello,
I would recommend you to read the Adobe forms blogs here:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/weblogs/topic/110
Of course you will need some scripting reference (even if you don´t think so yet):
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/lc_designer_scripting_basics/lc_designer_scripting_basics.pdf
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/es/FormCalc.pdf
Probably you will need a setup guide for ADS or a troubleshooting paper if the forms service would stop working. But you can find all these in the other threads. I am also not sure which version of LCD you´re running, note there is 8.1 available which is very much better than the previous versions.
Note: I feel the Java approach to forms is not that common here so you may find it difficult to find people here to help you. But I am sure there are some very nice guys working with Java here and hope you will be able to reach them.
Happy development
Regards Otto

Print Preview in RFx does not show new Adobe Interactive Form

Hello Experts,
I am trying to assign a standard Adobe Interactive form as the output form for SRM RFQ. I have carried out the following steps in customising under "Define Actions for Document Output".
- Selected bid invitation Action Profile = BBP_PD_BID
- Go to "Processing Types"
- Create a new Processing Type called "External Communication"
- Set the following values to the new processing type:
     - Form Name = BBP_BID_INV_ADB
     - Form Type = P PDF-Based Forms
     - Format = BBP_BID_INV_ADB_MAI
     - Personalization Type = 5 - Recipeient Variable Replacement
- Save Changes
My problem is that when I go to into the BID (RFx) and click "Print Preview" it picks up the standard Smartform, not the new Adobe form I have added as required.
Please can you advise of any additional config settings or other steps required to ensure that the Adobe Form is called when I click "Print Preview"?
We are on SRM 7.0.
I look forward your response.
Regards,
Matt

Hi Matt could you please tell me how do you solve your issue? I have the same and I cant find the solution.
Thanks a lot

Offline Interactive Form Upload for creating Business Transaction

Hi All,
I am using CRM Web Request for creating Business Transaction through Offline Interactive Adobe Form.
For that i have done PDF upload coding and then converting the PDF form to XML format.
Now the XML format of form is converted to string from xstring.
And then passing the XML to function module CRM_WEBREQ_EXTERN_CREATE_DOC along with the corresponding request category configured for the web request.Created the corresponding request category structure also.
still the business transaction is not getting created, the following error message is coming "XML incompatible for data structure of request category" .
Please respond if anybody has done the same scenario.
Or is there any other process that can be followed to upload offline interactive adobe form to create one order object.
Regards,
Madhu

Hi Maarten,
Is that aatribute binded to Dropdown field lying under a node of cardinality 1..1??
I think if that's so, ur error can be resolved by just putting this attribute in a node with cardinality 1..n.
Hope this helps..!!
Thanks,
Amita

Need input on Interactive Forms

Hello,
Can anyone give idea on below info.
( As per my knowledge the following are not possible, any alternatives are welcome! ).
1. Suppose the interactive form contians some input fields and submit button. When the user enters data and click on submit button, the data should be validated in SAP and the status and some other data should come back Adobe layout.Is this possible?
2. If the above step possible,Based on the return values new form (interactive) should be generated and display the user. I should say this can be dynamic .
Thanks in advance.
pavan meda

Pavan,
Use two different Webdynpro views and define outbound and inbound plug between these two and share the session data with the component controller. Once the user submits the data validate it with the back end and if it is validated call fire the outbound plug and your second view would display the new adobe form. Hope this would solve your problem. I have designed few applications as I described above. If it doesn't work for you please let me know.
Thanks!
Surya.

HELP NEEDED with flash interactive comic book

Hi folks
I am really stuck here.
I am creating an interactive comic book for college. I want a menu, which will house all four issues of the comic series. When you click and drag an issue to the drag area I want that issue of the comic to appear. Then all I need is a button to turn the pages. Pressing the final turn page button will return to the main menu again. If someone can help me Id appreciate it as this thing needs to be in for monday/tuesday.

At this stage I've only been able to make the issue snap to the read me button but I have no idea how to make sure that action leads to the first page of that comic issue.
