How to use an Adobe interactive form in an Application service operation?

Hi,
I have a peculiar requirement here:
The user wants that on the trigger of a specific operation an operation of the Application service should get invoked: this operation should pick up a Adobe form template from a destination and then prefill this forms with some values and then store the same in the backend DMS.
It's very easy to accomplish this task in WD Java with the use of Interactive form element but here we don't want any kind of user interaction for these forms, just the form templates will be prefilled with some dynamic values and then the same will be saved as is.
Can some one please provide some insight into how the same can be acieved, any API's etc?.
Please reply ASAP.
Regards,
Manish

WebUI Print Preview (Action Definition - Print) for Adobe Interactive Forms

Hi All,
As mentioned in subject, how to define an CRM Action Definition (with or without Action Condition) to Print an Adobe Interactive Forms. We know how to define a setting for Print Preview function in CRM WebUI via Action Definition - Smartforms Print. Now we want to print preview from CRM WebUI document on Form designed in Adobe Interactive Forms (tx SFP).
We have tested using Action Definition - External Communication, we can set the AIF form here. We tested in GUI (tx crmd_order) and it works. But when testing preview on CRM WebUi it shows "Error in Smartforms".
Somehow it still detect as Smartforms instead of Adobe Interactive Forms.
We prefer if this preview can be done via Action, because it is straight forward function for printing.
Should we use Action - Method Call instead ? How is the approach to do it in Action - Method Call ?
Any one try this before? Appreciate your sharing here.
Thx & Rgds,
Gun.

Hi Gunawan,
if I got you right, what you want is: Call your AIF when someone clicks on the "print preview" button in CRM WebClient. This should all work using a print action like with normal SmartForms.
I faced this problem some months ago on CRM 6. The problem here was quite simple: The SmartForm interface and the one of AIF are not compatible. Thus the service used for calling the print action from WebClient failed.
For handling this problem I enhanced the print service to call AIF correctly.
In customizing I used print actions that call a method.
As mentioned this lays back some months already. Maybe SAP came up with a better solution by now. I saw AIF to have multilple interface types. One is an interface compatible with SmartForms. Probably you can use this one and the print service will work without any enhancements or modifications.

Adobe Interactive Form in Blackberry?

Hi Everybody,
I had designed a Adobe Interactive form in webdynpro for java in netweaver developer studio. Now i want to run the url of this application in blackberry browser.
Actually I am able to run the webdynpro for java applications in blackberry simulator by executing the generated url of the webdynpro applications.But when I am trying the same with webdynpro for java application which contains adobe interactive form, blackberry is unable to display the form in browser.
Please help me out with some procedure to do so. Will "dochawk" or "reqwireless webviewer" will help. if so please give the clarrification.
Thanks in advance,
best regards,
Madhu.

Hello Madhu,
To show a PDF on your blackberry hand held device, you would need a micro edition
of Acrobat Reader installed on the device. As far as i know, there is no such Reader available in the market as of now from Adobe. Hence, your scenario can not be realized.
Web Dynpro can render itself on the blackerry because Web Dynpro's html client generates "html" output which is understandable by the blackberry browser.
Best Regards,
Krish

What do Adobe Interactive Forms in SAP HCM do?
Adobe Forms is the second step in the HCM process, as HCM is the online process..in between of the process adobe form will come in to picture to fill online.
What is the difference between Interactive/Non-Interactive Forms?
In non-interactive forms,there is no database interaction.If u say interactive forms.if u enter data in the form data will be saved directly in the data base..
In which sub-modules of SAP HCM are such forms used?
OM(Orzanization Management),PA(Personel Adminstration) and PD(personel Admin) ..ect...
What is that an HCM consultant has to expect from Basis and ABAP consultants for this?
from basis HCM dont required more help..only authorization and access only.
from ABAP u need more..if u use standard backend system..some times data will not picked automatically at that time through BADI u need to fill the data to the form,and to do validation in the form level..ABAPER need to write scripting

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.

How to invoke HTTP Web Services in an Adobe Interactive Form

Hi all,
I am using Adobe Livecycle Designer stand-alone (without Netweaver integration), currently a trial 8.2 version.
I need to invoke an HTTP Web Service (non-SOAP) in an Adobe Interactive Form. The Net.HTTP method does not work due to security reasons. The error message I get is:
(german)
" NotAllowedError: Sicherheitseinstellungen verhindern den Zugriff auf diese Eigenschaft oder Methode.
Net.HTTP.request:28:XFA:form1[0]:mysubform[0]:Region[0]:change"
In english this translates to: "Security settings prohibit the call of this property or method.
And indeed the "Javascript for Acrobat API reference" includes the following note:
"Note:This method can only be made outside the context of a document (for example, in a folder level JavaScript)."
So this method seems to be excluded from use in an Adobe document, e. g. in an interactive form. But why is it then listed at all? Is there a way to call HTTP Web Services in an Adobe Interactive Form by somehow branching out the call outside the document itself? Of course I do not want to call a SOAP service which then calls the HTTP Web Service
Is there any other way to invoke HTTP Web Services in an Adobe Interactive Form?
Thanks a lot for your response!
Regards
Christoph

Hi,
back again, had to handle other issues, sorry.
Just to get a little more concrete. The condition depends on the context node attributes. So if an attribute is initial, it's field should not been shown, if it's not initial, it should ne shown. There are 6 context attributes and therefore 6 fields in the form. How can I get the attributes' value?
And can I put them into the same subform or do I have to create 7 (6 conditions + blank-condition) subforms?
I put the fields (textfield and context node value) that should be shown depending on conditions in a subform. So how can I adress this subform?
I'm not so familiar with JavaScript, so please help me. I need something like:
if (context_node_attribute X is initial) {
subform_1.presence = "hidden" ;
I tried it with
if ( ARB_STUNDEN.rawValue != null) {
Beratungsstunden.presence = "hidden" ;
but it didn't work....
Thanks,

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

How to binnding the data in the adobe interactive forms for making a table?

Hi, experts,
Function:
Through the sharing context node between adobe interactive form and a WDA for ABAP, display the data of the sflight_node in the ADOBE.
version:
Acrobat Reader 8.1.0
currently both of the SAP-ABA and SAP-BASIS SP level: 9
ADS : Successful.
The following is my action:
1.     Create a interface (Z_SFLIGHT_INTF) with a attribute node (SFLIGHT_NODE) that type is "sflight" using the transaction code "sfp"
2.     Create a form (Z_SFLIGHT_FORM) using the transaction code "sfp" with the interface Z_SFLIGHT_INTF.
3.     Trag the sflight_node in the Z_SFLIGHT_INTF to the form( Z_SFLIGHT_FORM).
4.     Open the layout tab in the form(Z_SFLIGHT_FORM), and create a table(table1). Click the table created just now, select the binding tab in the object tab, and in the Default Binding, select the SFLIGHT_NODE under the Z_SFLIGHT_FORM.
Problem 1:
Do you tell me whether is right for binding the context SFLIGHT_NODE using this way? If bind 3 context attributes in the sflight, how can I do it?
5.     Create a WDA for abap (ZZ_02_SFLIGHT), and create a view(MAINVIEW) using transaction code "se80" in the sap-gui with adobe interactive form. Set the templatesource(Z_SFLIGHT_FORM) in the adobe interactive form properties and saved, and then, datasource is "MAINVIEW_Z_SFLIGHT_FORM" automatically.
6.     But I only found the attribute SFLIGHT_NODE under the context node(Z_SFLIGHT_NODE), and I don't found the NODE ( SFLIGHT_NODE ) context in the context tab in the WDA for abap so that I don't set data to the context NODE (SFLIGHT_NODE).
Problem 2:
Do you tell me what can I do it so that I get the node SFLIGHT_NODE rather than attribute in the WDA for setting the data to the CONTEXT NODE (SFLIGHT_NODE)?
Thanks a lot.
