How to maintain links in adobe forms
I have created a fillable form and have created a link to another PDF form. The link works when I test it, but if I e-mail the form, or copy and paste the form to another folder or my desktop, the link again will not work.
I have tried, "set destinations, create a link, and button actions" and none keep the link when the file is moved.
I am using Acrobat Pro 10 for windows
Sorry, should have provided more info. The link is just to a another pdf file on our system directory (called the S/drive....). It is not a link to a web site. I send the form out and the user will fill it in and then auto submit with the use of an e-mail button. (which has all worked in the past). I recently added this new link for the user if this additional(second) form is required. I have created link so it will open the linked pdf and the use can print and fill out this second form.
However, when the form is e-mailed the link no longer works, or if I move the file to another folder again the link will not work.
Any more thoughts / help would be great, I am sure I am missing something, but can not figure it out??

Maintaining Versions in Adobe Form
Hi All,
We are in process of designing an adobe interactive forms for our various business scenarios.
we had a secanrio that if form content was changed then a version should be maintained in the adobe form. Kindly let us know how to make it.
Thanks & Regards,
Chandran SHi,
This really depends on your business requirements and your level of XDP form design. Off the top of my head, some scenarios are
1) Add each version of the doc as an attachment. This could be either the data as XML or the whole PDF. Both of these would increase the size of your doc, but the XML is a lot smaller than the PDF.
For example, when the PDF is submitted to the server you can compare the XML data and it is different, then store the old document (assuming you still have it on the server) as an attachment to the new one.
You can also using JavaScript to do this programmatically on the client. See http://tm.corp.adobe.com/techCommunity/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1528
2) Store the old data (completely or just the changes) in the form's data. This could be done without it showing up as attachment (attachments can be deleted). This might be more complicated Java Scripting, but would also work. The data could look something like this.
<myData>
<currentData>
<currentData>
<versionData>
<version1>
<userId>A12345</userId>
</version1>
<version2>
<userId>X56789</userId>
</version2>
.... (more versions)

How can i find the adobe form translations
Hi Friends,
how can i find the adobe form translations?
i mean i want to know in how many languages my adobe form has been translated?
is their any report or is their any technique to find the translations........................
Thanks,
Harish.KHello Harish,
To find the translation of Adobe form is nothing but to find the labels or texts used in this adobe form in various languages. This will give you an idea on how many languages your adobe form has been translated.
So to find the translations in different languages, you have to go to Context node of the Adobe form. Then go through the text nodes which are used as labels. These will be normally stored as Standard texts in SO10.
For example. Take the text name of any one text node.
1) Go to SE38.
2) Type program RSTXTRAN.
3) Let the Text key - object be TEXT.
4) Then enter this text name in the field Text key - name. I have put the sample standard text ZTEST_ADOBE as shown below.
5) Let the Text key - ID be ST.
6) In Text key - language, Enter * (i.e enter the Asterisk) because you want to find out all the languages.
The screen parameters will be as shown below.
7) Now Execute this report.
8) It will show all the various languages in which this particular standard text is used which is nothing but the Adobe form is being used in these many languages. For example, the standard text ZTEST_ADOBE is used in 3 languages, English, German and Spanish as shown below. It will look as shown below.
Note: This will give you the more or less the overall idea of the form that has been used in these many languages. But also make sure the standard text with particular language is also linked with the Transport Request. Because there are chances that the text was created in a particular language but was never used. -
How do you type in Adobe forms
How do you type in Adobe forms without converting them.
Several times I was on an Adobe page where one could click on a tab to do just that and now I cannot remember how I got there.
Please help if you can.

Hi,
OK. Following instructions, I've uninstalled the old Flash Player and installed the right one, and videos are now playing. Thanks for pointing me to the other posts on this site. YouTube and other videos are now playing
Some of the videos still play jerkily (they don't stream evenly). A few stream evenly once they've been allowed to buffer fully. (I think I'm using these terrms correctly.) Is this solely caused by low bandwidth, or is there something—an adjustment of some kind—that I can do with Flash Player to have online videos stream evenly, even from the moment I start them?
As I mentioned, to bypass this uneven streaming while watching online, I download the videos and watch them usually using Quicktime Player 7.6.4. Still, they don't always play evenly, but for the most part do.
I've just tested bandwidth and I'm told:
5.63 Bbps Download speed

How can I save filled Adobe Form?
Hallo experts,
I use Adobe Forms in my Webdypro application.
In Form setPDFSourse set dynamically (read from SAP as byte[]) , I do not know the Context.
How can I save filled Adobe Form, because I must show the Form by next Step in anothe window?
Thank you very much!This sounds to me like a client-side problem whith adobe reader plugin in your browser. What is your reader version?
You can try the following to check if there is any content in the byte[]:
String s = wdContext.currentContextElement().getPdfData().length + "";
byte[] test = s.getBytes();
final IWDCachedWebResource resource =
WDWebResource.getWebResource(
test,
WDWebResourceType.TXT);
try {
final IWDWindow window =
wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(
resource.getAbsoluteURL(),
"Window title",
false);
window.open();
} catch (Exception e) {
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(
new WDNonFatalException(e),
false); -

How to attach a WebDynpro Adobe form to backend Business Object?
Hello,
I would like to know if anyone has created an Interactive Adobe Form, and then after the user has filled it out (online, via WebDynpro view), attach the pdf form to an SAP Document, for example, Order, Purchase Order or Contract?
I know how to create the WebDynpro Interactive Form, and I then have the pdf object in context attribute of WebDynpro. But am not sure how to do the next step of taking that pdf and attaching it to the SAP Document.
Any suggestions or code samples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
ColleenThe interactiveForm UI element has one action called onSubmit. This action is triggered when any server event occurs within the Adobe Form itself. So if you place a submitButton from the Web Dynpro Native (assuming you are using ZCI forms) within the form, it will automatically trigger the onSubmit action and WD event handler.
Here is a video that shows the process - although it is a little bit older and uses ACFx forms. You would want to use the new ZCI form approach. The general process for linking the events is the same however.
