How to create Adobe Interactive Form in MDM

Iam new to MDM Technology, I want to create Adobe Interactive Form and show a sample demo.
Sample demo which should show adobe interactive form in mdm and how to integrate adobe interactive form in mdm and how to update th data in MDM
I have knowledge of creation of adobe form but how to integrate with mdm technology.

Hi,
There are couple of ways to integrate MDM with SAP Interactive Forms.
1. WebDynpro Java and MDM API (requires Portal)
2. MDM WebService (Portal not required)
Updating data in MDM using WebDynpro Java :
1. In Component Controller -> Fetch data from MDM using API and populate appropriate context structure
2. Map the View Controller and Comp Controller context.
3. Place Interactive Form UI element in view.(Keep the UI element in UpdatePDF mode, this can be done in properties window. Also increase the height and width property value)
4. The Interactive Form UI element is editable in Adobe Form Designer (7.1 / 8.0)
5. Design the form and bind the UI (TextFields/ Dropdowns) with the Context of View Controller.(Done in Binding tab of Object window)
6. Deploy and run the application.
The rendered application will contain an Adobe Interactive Form populated with MDM data.
Regards,
Suresh

I succeeded to save the PDF document on the archive link but after this operation, when I open this document saved, it doesn't show me the data but only the Interactive Form structure. The only data that file PDF saves are those I passed to Interactive Form during at the event initialization, but it lose all others datas that I inserted on the Interactive Form before to save.
There is one mode to save also these datas or I can store only data that I load at the initialization event?

How to use Adobe Interactive forms with ISR frame work in Webdynpro forJava

Hi,
Anybody worked on Adobe Interactive forms with ISR frame work in Webdynpro for Java in ESS/MSS development.
We have already searched in ISR_Cookbook_2004, however we didn't anything related webdynpro for java in that.
Any information regarding this will be of great help.
Regards
Satish Kumar

There are a number of issues here. A form that you created with LiveCycle Designer (XFA) cannot be used with FormsCentral. An Acroform, the kind you can create with Acrobat, can be used with FormsCentral, with certain limitations, one of which is skip logic. A dynamic XFA form allows for this type of thing, but as mentioned, they don't work with FormsCentral. You can set up an Acroform to show/hide or activate/inactivate fields based on selections or entries made in other fields, but you'd have to set this up in Acrobat, not FormsCentral. So you can set up something roughly equivalent to a web form's skip logic, but you'd have to learn how to do this in Acrobat using JavaScript. There is a separate Acrobat JavaScript forum here if you have any questions.

Is it possible to create Adobe Interactive form in ECC 5.0 IDES using WDA?

Hi every body,
I am trying to create an adobe interactive form in ECC 5.0 IDES using Web Dynpro for ABAP. But I am facing some configuration problems. My doubt here is -> "Is it possible to create abobe interactive forms in ECC 5.0 IDES using Web Dynpro for ABAP ?"
Please help me out.
thanks in advance,
best regards,
naveen.

Hi Naveen,
ECC 5.0 is NW04 - not NW04s so you don't have WDA at all as you should be able to see from e.g. it not appearing in the list of possible programming objects in transaction SE80.
You'd need ECC 6.0.
Double-check your SAP_BASIS release in menu System > Status > Component Information. If it says 6.40 then that's no good... you need to be on 7.00.
You can still use Java WebDynpro with ECC 5.0 of course.

Jocelyn

How to display Adobe Interactive Form from ABAP (not WDABAP)

I have created a WD ABAP application that creates an Adobe Interactive Form (ZCI) and submits it for workflow. All of the data on the form is saved in custom itables in the SAP System. The end-users are supposed to save a copy of the form at the last step in the workflow before they "Acknowledge" the task in UWL. Once the acknowledge takes place, they can no longer display the form in UWL. They want an ABAP program that will read the data from the various custom tables and display a "print" version of the form (not interactive).
I am calling FM 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' to get the function module for the form. I then call FM 'FP_JOB_OPEN' with the parameter IE_OUTPUTPARAMS-REQNEW set to ABAP_TRUE. The call to the form FM has the following EXPORTING parameters:
    EXPORTING
    /1BCDWB/DOCPARAMS   =
      /1BCDWB/DOCXML         =
I understand the /1BCDWB/DOCPARAMS but have no idea what needs to be done to for the /1BCDWB/DOCXML parameter. Can anyone offer any advice or assistance?

Joyce,
this is really simple - the reason you have that /1BCDWB/DOCXML is because you defined your form interface to have an XML based interface.
While this is great for ABAP Web Dynpro, because the XML is generated for you, this is NOT the case with regular ABAP.
You should choose ABAP Data Dictionary-Based Interface. You will then be able to add tables, structures and fields to your interface.
For instance, here's code from a program where I call the form in regular ABAP
data: ls_worksheet TYPE Zxxx_structure.
* Fill the ls_worksheet structure here.
* Call the generated function module
CALL FUNCTION ls_function
    EXPORTING
      /1bcdwb/docparams = fp_docparams
      worksheet          = ls_worksheet
    IMPORTING
      /1bcdwb/formoutput = ls_form_output
    EXCEPTIONS
      usage_error        = 1
      system_error       = 2
      internal_error     = 3
      OTHERS             = 4.
Notice I do not have the /1BCDWB/DOCXML Exporting parameter.
Just change your interface to a Data Dictionary Based, and add the tables/structures/fields to it.
then, go to your calling program, fill them, and pass the data through the Exporting parameter.

Adobe Interactive Form is displayed in Read Only mode

Hi All,
I created Adobe Interactive Form in SFP.
The following properties are set to the form.
Layout Type -ZCI Layout
Preview Type - Interactive Form
XDP Preview Format - Acrobat 7.0.5 Dynamic PDF
In PDF preview tab, I can enter data into the Text Fields.
I added this form in a web dynpro ABAP application using Interactive Form UI element.
The following properties are set to the UI element.
DataSource - bound to the context
displayType - native
enabled - checked
templateSource - Formname
readonly - unchecked.
When I run this application, the form is displayed in readonly mode.
I can't enter any data into the text field.
Any of you guys know that how to resolve this?
Thanks
Thruna

Hi,
I already face the same issue and after several days working on this issue and many hours on debugging it seems that interface type is very important if you want to use the form in WD4A (this requirement is confirmed by SAP thru an OSS message for me )
Does the interface based on DDIC or XML ?
If it's a DDIC interface , sorry that can't works in WD4A as interactive forms. You must define the interface as based on XML for this .
Hope this help you.
PS : Finally ,as my forms was very complicated my customer decide to not make it available in WD4A .....

Generate Adobe Interactive Form in background and setpdfSource value.

Hi,
Is there any way to create Adobe Interactive Form in the background assigning R/3 data (without displaying) and assign pdfSource binary information in context attribute and later, display Adobe Interactive Form using pdfSource context attribute in a new window?
if Adobe Interactive Form is in Visible state, I'm also able to display Adobe Interactive Form in a new window using pdfSource binary context attribute, .
But, unable to create Adobe Interactive form in the background when Adobe Interactive Form Visibility is NONE and unable to assign binary data to pdfSource attribute in context and hence unable to display Adobe Interactive Form in a new window. Kindly help me if this process is possible.
Thank you in advance.
Regards
Prasad

Hi Prasad,
This is certainly possible. First populate the dataSource context node with the data (e.g. coming from R/3). Then use <a href="http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/wd/com/sap/tc/webdynpro/clientserver/adobe/api/WDInteractiveFormHelper.html">WDInteractiveFormHelper.getContextDataAsStream</a> to obtain the data.xml as a byte[] by calling toByteArray() on the ByteArrayOutputStream. The next step is to obtain the xdp template as a byte[] (I don't know exactly how to do this, but it's certainly possible using some API, just as you would read other resources deployed within your Web Dynpro). When you have both the template and the data, you can use the <a href="http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/wd/com/sap/tc/webdynpro/clientserver/adobe/pdfdocument/api/package-summary.html">PDFDocument</a> API to render a PDF, something as <i>WDPDFDocumentFactory.getDocumentHandler().getDocumentContext().getDocumentCreationContext()</i>; set the data and the template and other options like interactive, call execute and retrieve the pdf byte[] from the returned object. Eventually you can assign the pdf byte[] to the pdfSource context attribute. In case you use NW04, you must use the <a href="http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/wd/com/sap/tc/webdynpro/pdfobject/api/package-summary.html">PDFObject</a> instead.
Besides, why would you want to create the PDF before displaying it?
Kind regards,
Sigiswald
