How to check Adobe Live Cycle Designer version in ABAP Workbench ?

Hi,
Please advise how to check Adobe Live Cycle Designer version in ABAP Workbench ? Currently i am using NW 7.0 SP18 (ABA,BASIS).
Thank You and Best Regards
Fernand Lesmana

There are 3 ways you can check which version of ALD you have installed on your machine.
1. Go to transaction SFP (Forms Builder) transaction and enter a form name. Select Layout and it should open Adobe LiveCycle Designer. From ALD select Help --> About section and it should give you version details.
2. Go to SE80 and open an Interactive form application. Select the InteractiveFormUI element and click edit. This will open the ALD. From ALD select Help --> About section and it should give you version details.
3. A more simpler way is just go to C:\Program Files\Adobe on your machine and there should be Designer folder there for e.g. Designer 7.1 / Designer 8.0 / Designer 8.1

Hi Abhilash,
"Server: SAP Web AS 6.40 Java (for all scenarios), SAP Web AS 6.40 ABAP (if you are looking at high-volume print scenarios), Adobe document services (run-time component), Adobe Credential (for creating interactive PDF forms)
Frontend: SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio with Adobe LiveCycle Designer (for Web Dynpro for Java development) and/or SAP GUI 6.40 with Adobe LiveCycle Designer (or 6.20 - for developing in SAP Web AS 6.40 ABAP), Active Component Framework (for filling interactive forms in a Web Dynpro application), Adobe Reader 6.0.2 or higher (on the frontend PC)" - from <b><a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2a8a0a37-0301-0010-f794-aecd1bb426e0#q-4">INteractive Forms FAQ</a></b>
I will suggest you to have Adobe Reader >7
SAP GUI with patchlevel >18.
ADLCD >= 7.
Even you dont have ADS you must be able to see ADLCD in SFP. but you wont be able to activate ya get the output.
if you have properly copied the ADLCD seperatley into the Adobe Folder. while clicking the layout tab. open the ADLCD seperately. see if it gets opened.
or design it in ADLCD and import and export the xdp through fb_xdp_down and fb_xdp_up transactions.
Hope these helps. do update and alos search in the Interactive Forms home page as well as the Forum to get the details. there are already many posts related to it.
Thanks and Regards,
Anto.

How to open multiple instance of Adobe Live Cycle Designer ES 8.2

Hi,
How do I open multiple instance of Adobe Live Cycle Designer ES 8.2. I have two forms and I need to compare them. Another situation is I want to correct/copy the contents by keeping the old and new one under the view simultaneously. I also want to take advantage of multiple monitors
The MDI style windows with Ctl+Tab to switch between documents is not helping me in the context explained above
adobe Acrobat work on multi instance if I type acrobat.exe /n;
but if I type "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Designer 8.2\FormDesigner.exe" /n;, its just opening the existing livecycle instance
please help

I don't think you can run two instances.
But you can stretch the main application window across both monitors and tile the two documents inside the main window.

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.

HELP required in ADOBE LIVE CYCLE DESIGNER 7

Please guide whether the following can be done in ADOBE LIVE CYCLE DESIGNER 7
1. Design a form(PDF) and connect to a database
2. Call the designed form(PDF) from an external application (Oracle Forms 9i)
3. Pass some values dynamically into the query of the form(PDF) designed.
4. Based on the values passed dynamically into the query,
some values have to be populated into the form (PDF) from the database.
5. Should be able to enter additional values in some blank columns of the called form(PDF) and save it.

1. LiveCycle Designer can helps in designing PDF and/or XDP templates these templates can fetch data from database.
2. XDP templates can render output in PDF and HTML format. Those accessible for other applications.
3. I never tried passing values in query string. There could be a way to do this.
4. These templates can prepopulate data and can do additional user interface actions. There are methods to repopulate/refetch data after initial display.
5. Forms accept additional data and can trigger events based on users actions.
Good luck

Configuring adobe live cycle designer in netweaver developer studio

Hi,
I installed Adobe Life Cycle designer 7.1 on Studio for NW04S SP9 , I open up the interactive forms ui element .
Then I opened the library pallete on the studio, but I dont find the webdynpro tab.
What should I do.
Thanks,
Harish

Hi Amol,
I have done this but to no avail.
I picked the prerequisites from help.sap.com
Let me know what I have missed:
<b>You have installed the SAP NetWeaver 4.0 Developer Workplace. You must also have Acrobat Reader 7.0 or a full version of Adobe Acrobat 7.0 if you want to use the InteractiveForm UI element. In addition, the Adobe component of the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio must be installed as this component is not installed in the standard version. However, it is very easy to install it if you want to use interactive PDF forms.</b>
The above is the prerequisite in help.sap.com
What I have done is
1. Downloaded Netweaver Developer Studio NW04S SP9 , from service.sap.com
2. Downloaded Adobe Life Cycle designer 7.1 from service.sap.com
3. I run the aldsetup.exe
Let me know what else needs to be done
Thanks,

How to convert pdf file to xdp format in Live Cycle Designer

Hi Guys..
I am looking to convert a pdf file into xdp for further processing.
I try to convert it in Adobe Live Cycle Designer.. but no success..
I changed the options under tools menu - Default file type for new forms into XDP.. still I cant save the file as XDP..
Anyone know how to do it..
Cheers

Where is that PDF coming from?
You might have to import it and the New Form Assistant will convert it to an XDP.
When you load it in Designer, do you get the New Form Assistant? What version of LiveCycle Designer are you using?

Hello,
- Which version of Adobe Live Cycle Designer should I ask for?
above 8, can recommend you to install 8.1
- The integrated install should be in my machine or in the server?
don´t understand/ haven´t heard about this
- Is this install integrated in the SAP install CD or should I ask for a new license?
you need no extra licence because you´re a Developer:))
I can recommend you get it yourself to speed it up. Find the newest GUI patch a the LCD yourself:))
use these:
Adobe LiveCycle Designer
730026   Adobe LiveCycle Designer: Known errors and patches
962763   Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.1 Installation
816065   Adobe LiveCycle Designer Installation with Developer Studio on SAP NetWeaver '04 SPS 18

Calculations in live cycle designer es

Hi,
I'm trying to read through the Adobe Live Cycle Designer book but totally lost when it comes to the formulas. I have a dynamic form --its going to be many pages -- that uses drop down boxes with points 1, 3, 5. If the user has three fields to review, and enters 1, 3, 5 in each. I need to have a Total field that adds up to 9. I can't figure out the syntax on how to set it up.
Page two of file:
Field 1, named Workplace
Field 2, named Privacy
Field 3, named Ownership.

Hi,
My personal preference is to use Javascript was scripting. I tend to use FormCalc for calculating dates, etc. As a result I sometimes forget the range of inbuilt functions in FormCalc.
Your use of the sum is a timely reminder...
When referencing objects it is important that you give the full reference (or the minimum reference relative to the two objects). What I am trying to say is that if the two objects are in the same subform, then you can just use the object names (as you are doing). But if the objects are in different subforms or different pages, then you need to give a fuller reference.
It raises one point - it is good practice to name objects as you are going. Clearly all of your objects are named and subforms (HIRE). But you should also name pages, eg page1. This makes it easier to reference.
The easiest way to reference objects in your script is to press Control and then click the object you want to reference. This will insert just the right amount of reference into the script for you.
For example if the two objects are in the same subform:
$ = SAFETYPOINTS
But if SAFETYPOINTS was on a different page (page4) and in a subform (HIRE), then the script would be:
$ = page1.HIRE.SAFETYPOINTS
Hope that helps,
Niall
