How to create interactive forms in ABAP WebDynpro

Hi Experts,
we are trying to create our first interactive form with the "how to guide for ABAP WebDynpros".
Unfortunatelly we have a big problem on Step 17, where we want to save the created WebDynpro Application. After safing the system shows a pop up with following error message:
"you are not authorized to use function - Netzwerkadministration". Although we have all the necessary access rights in the system (ERP/Developer User).
But if we go on and create a service call (it's a guided procedure) for an existing BAPI, we can't select the function module interface parameters that we want to add to the context via checkboxes. There are no checkboxes available. but the how-to-guides shows checkboxes.
is maybe the first error the reason that we can't select the function modules? Please help. If you need the how-to-guide, please give me your eMail and I will provide it to you immediately.
Thank you very much in advance and regards,
H.-J. Kersten

Zci type ADOBE Interactive Form in ABAP Webdynpro short dump

Adobe Reader version 8.1.2

In my ABAP Webdynpro app., it has 3 inputfields.
In the Form layout, I changed the form layout type to 'ZCI' for interactive form, and Insert the WebDynpro Script.
And in the ABAP Webdynpro view layput designer, I enabled the pdf form element.
All objects compiled without any problem.

Hi,
As far as i know when you use Adobe forms in a WD4A application, language is your "web" connection language.
You can have a look at standard class CL_WD_ADOBE_SERVICE, it's used when generating an adobe forms from WD4A. , more particulary look at method DETERMINE_DOCPARAMS.

How to create an iview for ABAP Webdynpro Application in Portal?

HI,
I am Webdynpro Java webdynpro developer.
I want to create an IVIEW for an ABAP Webdynpro application in the enterprise portal.

The process is almost exactly the same as creating a Web Dynpro Java iView. You simply chose the ABAP instead of the Java radio button when you reach that step in the Web Dynpro iView creation process. There is a video on the topic here:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/media/uuid/eae111e7-0b01-0010-6cb7-e0dd2bfbfa7a
You can also read about the process in the online help:

Multi language support for Adobe interactive form in ABAP WD

Hi ,
I translated the adobe form in multi language in SE63, If i execute the form with passing LANGU(language) parameter, form supports for multi language.
I created XML schema based interface and if a execute interactive form in ABAP Webdynpro, i am unable to pass launguage(LANGU) parameter. because InteractiveForm element property does not have language key parameter.
Apart from creating different language dependent forms, is there any alternate way we can pass the LANGU key parameter to Interactive Adobe form???

Interactive Form with ABAP DDIC Interface

Hi,
I'm new on adobe interactive forms and I have some problems. I have a form with a abap dictionary based interface.
When I test my web dynpro application with the interactive form, it is not interactive. :-P
And yes the property "enabled" of the UI-Element is marked.
First I watched an e-Learning an build a web dynpro application with a from which has a interface based on xml.
I generated the inteface of the form from my context. It works fine.
But with a interface based on xml I dont't know how I can get a table on my PDF in the Adobe Lifecycle Designer.
So I searched snd n the forum and found a tutorial (InteractiveForm_and_Dynamic_Tables). Like in this tutorial I created a interface based on ABAP Dictionary and a form with a table. Then I choose this form on my UI-Element as templateSource and generate the context from the interface. But as i mentioned above, now the PDF isn't interactive.
Any idea?
Thx Florian
PS: when someone can tell/help me in german it would be much easier for me to understand...

You can create Interactive form with ABAP dictionay based interface. You need to add following code in method "WDDOMODIFYVIEW" of your view.
DATA: LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM TYPE REF TO CL_WD_INTERACTIVE_FORM,
LR_METHOD_HANDLER TYPE REF TO IF_WD_IACTIVE_FORM_METHOD_HNDL.
CHECK FIRST_TIME = ABAP_TRUE.
LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM ?= VIEW->GET_ELEMENT( 'TEST' ).
LR_METHOD_HANDLER ?= LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM->_METHOD_HANDLER.
LR_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_LEGACY_EDITING_ENABLED( ABAP_TRUE ).

Can we create Interactive forms only with ABAP & without using GP, or Java

Hi,
I would like to know if we can create Interactive forms only with ABAP & without using GP or Java. We want to develop an offline solution using Interactive forms, but would like to use only ABAP for creating the forms. All the documents so far either refer to creating the forms, in reference to / in sync with: ISR (Service Requests), GP (General Procedures) or Java. Can this be done with ABAP alone?
Regards,
Ramesh
Edited by: Ramesh Nallabelli on Apr 16, 2008 12:02 AM

Hello Ramesh,
You should be able to create Adobe Interactive Forms using only the ABAP stack (without GP, Java, etc). Please refer to the thread below. Hope it helps.

Missing code in "Offline Interactive Forms Using ABAP" SDN document?

I am trying to build a sample offline form scenario using the code published in the SDN document "Offline Interactive Forms Using ABAP" written by Vani Krishnamoorthy. Everything works perfectly up to the point where we instantiate the PDF Object to extract the data from the form. Then there seems to be some code missing just before we call the method SET_DOCUMENT. We are supposed to export the parameter pdfdata = pdf_data , but I cannot find where pdf_data variable is declared or assigned. Also, an ENDTRY statement seems to be missing.
Has anyone had success with Vani's offline scenario, and if so, do you know what code is missing, if any?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I found the missing code in sample program FP_PDF_TEST_06. Everything works well now.
The PDF file that was uploaded from the PC first needs to be converted from binary to XSTRING before you can create the PDF object:

        g_pdfdata type xstring,
        l_len type i.

      filename                = l_filename
      filetype                = 'BIN'
    importing
      filelength              = l_len
    changing
      data_tab                = lt_rawtab   "PDF file (binary)
    exceptions
      file_open_error         = 1
      file_read_error         = 2
      etc. etc.
Convert binary tab to Xstring
call function 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING'

      input_length = l_len

Adobe interactive form with ABAP workbench

Hi Experts,
Need to know, can we run Online Adobe interactive form using ABAP ( Not webdynpro ABAP or Java) workbench? If so how? and if possible please provide the driver program which run the form & after filling it, it updates SAP data online.
Regards,
Nik

That is possible by using FLM tool. You need to buy it separately. Its an ARCH product. Or if its HR forms then you can use HCM proceess & forms.

Interactive forms using ABAP

Hi ,
Is it possible to design Interactive forms in ABAP. I have a requirement for a client using R/3, there is no Portal involved so WebDynpro ABAP is not an option.In this case I am wondering is this a possibility using general ABAP.
Cheers
S Kumar

Hi S Kumar,
You can design the Adobe Interactive Forms without WebDynpro or Portal, This can be done by writing a driver program similar to driver program where we write for SmartForm. Or you can use the WebServices to design your forms. But some functionalities may not be satisfied as in the WebDynpro or Portal.

Create Interactive Form UI element Dynamically

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement according to which i need to create multiple PDF forms at runtime.
The approach that i would be using is creating interactive form U I element at runtime.
So as a test application in a views wdDoModifyView i added the below
In the do modify view i have added the below piece of code
if (!firstTime)
               IWDNodeInfo l_sel_nodeInfo =
                    wdContext.nodeCtx_vn_binary().getNodeInfo();
               IWDAttributeInfo l_attrInfo =
                    l_sel_nodeInfo.getAttribute(
                         IPrivateAdobeView1.ICtx_vn_binaryElement.CTX__VA__BINARY);
               if (view.getElement("adobeFrm") == null) {
                    IWDTransparentContainer container =
                         (IWDTransparentContainer) view.getElement(
                              "RootUIElementContainer");
                    IWDInteractiveForm adobeFrm =
                         (IWDInteractiveForm) view.createElement(
                              IWDInteractiveForm.class,
                              "adobeFrm");
                    adobeFrm.bindDataSource(
                         wdContext.nodeCtx_vn_adobe().getNodeInfo());
                    adobeFrm.setMode(WDInteractiveFormMode.UPDATE_DATA_IN_PDF);
                    adobeFrm.setTemplateSource("AdobeView1_InteractiveForm.xdp");
                    adobeFrm.setDisplayType(WDInteractiveFormDisplayType.NATIVE);
                    adobeFrm.bindPdfSource(l_attrInfo);
                    adobeFrm.setVisible(WDVisibility.VISIBLE);
                    container.addChild(adobeFrm);
                    adobeFrm.setTemplateSource("AdobeView1_InteractiveForm.xdp");
But now i am stuck at this point as its giving me null pointer exception on execution.
Could some one provide me links to the tutorials which contains dynamic creation of Interactive form UI element
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Rekha ,
I do have this link but as per this tutorial the layout of adobe form is generated during design time whereas i need to create the mulitple PDF at runtime.These PDF need to be displayed to the user . The approach that i am using is to create Interactiveform U I element at runtime.
The code that i tried is already provided in my first post.I need some more concrete tutorials /examples for this.
Basically i need to know how to add elements like a table/textfield and data within those table/ textfields in an adobe form(Interactive form UI element) at runtime.
Regards ,
Navya.
