How to print interactive adobe form in ABAP ?

Dear all,
I've create a static adobe form in ABAP environment using SFP transaction. But when i build the form and test print out, system raise an error "<b>Device type unsuitable for ADS documents</b>". So, which device type should I use to print ADS documents ?
Thank you very much for your help,
Best regards,
Sylvecast.

The printer selected for output must support Adobe forms (the default "local" printer does not). If you don't already have a printer that supports Adobe output, you can create one via SPAD using (for example) device type PDF1.

Interactive Forms based on Adobe software is SAP's new solution for forms development. Its first release has the focus on interactive use of forms. High-volume printing is supported in principle, but - being a new solution - the performance has not yet reached the same level as Smart Forms or SAPscript, two established solutions that had years to grow. Interactive Forms is the only solution that will continue to be enhanced with new features, while SAPscript and Smart Forms will be supported without limitations.
When (or if) to move to Interactive Forms depends on your requirements. For interactive forms usage, i.e. the new functions, you have no choice, as the existing solutions don't support it. High-volume print scenarios need to be carefully analyzed to see whether your concrete requirements can be met at this point.
However, it is possible to move to Smart Forms and design your forms in such a way that a migration at any point in the future would be but a small step. Smart Forms offers from Web AS 6.40 a migration wizard to Interactive Forms. Technically, everything can be migrated, but we recommend against things like ABAP program nodes, for example.
You are not forced to ever go to Interactive Forms if you don't want to. It really depends on whether your client needs any of the new features in Interactive Forms. Also, if they are currently working with JetForms, they could enquire with Adobe directly what migration path they offer to the joint solution.

example
To get an overview idea about Adobe forms ,
Using SFP Tcode , first you need to create a interface . in interface you can declare the import and export parameters and also the declaration part, coding etc : This is nothing but similar to Function module interface.
And now we have to create the Form which is interactive. Create the form and enter the interface name which you have created in first step, so that the parameters , declarations of fields etc : will be copied and available in the form layout. So that you can drag and drop these declared fields ( dclared fields of interface ) to the layout.
Create the context and layout in the form.
The layout generated can be previewed and saved as PDF output.
Now we need to integrate the driver program and the PDF form to get the final output as per the requirement.
On activating and executing the form you will get a function module name just similar to smartforms.
The driver program needs to call this FM.
Refer to the below sample code :
DATA : is_customer TYPE scustom.
DATA : it_bookings TYPE ty_bookings.
DATA : iv_image_url TYPE string.
DATA : iv_sending_country TYPE adrc-country.
DATA : it_sums TYPE TABLE OF flprice_t.
DATA : docparams TYPE sfpdocparams.
DATA : formoutput TYPE fpformoutput.
DATA : outputparams TYPE sfpoutputparams.
PARAMETERS : pa_cusid TYPE scustom-id.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM scustom INTO is_customer
WHERE id = pa_cusid.
SELECT * FROM sbook
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_bookings
WHERE customid = pa_cusid.

How to print an adobe form with xml interface in r3

I have a Web dynpro application that creates an ADOBE form using an XML schema interface.
I need to be able to print the same form in R/3 - is this possible? If so how do I create the interface?

Hi,
I am not sure if I understand your question correctly. The following NetWeaver documentation might be useful for you https://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/a1/40aac795a243cebdcff368491c659e/frameset.htm Check section Example: Calling Forms in an Application Program.

Is it possible to develop online interactive adobe form using abap?

Hi ,
We don't want to use webdypro for java or webdypro for abap to develop the online interactive form.but I'm not sure whether abap only is enough to achieve it?

Hi,
You have to create your forms in the ABAP system while using transaction SFP ( you'll got the same user interface for developing as with WD).
Then you have to make a program to make the form available for the user , of course you have to choice the scenari for user to get the forms ( mail .... )

Hyperlinks in Interactive ADOBE Forms

Dear experts,
I have a scenario of INTERACTIVE ADOBE FORM in ABAP WEBDYNPRO wherein Attachments have to be stored for a given form and these forms would be archived in a shared folder after a complete workflow lifecycle .
Initially, we implemented the handling of attachments using the 'ATTACHMENT' tab in the ADOBE form itself and storing these attachments as xStrings in GOS. This worked really well until recently where the attachment sizes increased from a few KB to many MBs . The form processing got extremely slow leading to unacceptable performance.
This called for the approach of using hyperlinks to attachments on a network folder to be added to the form by the users while data entry itself.
I am unaware as to how can we open a text field to accept hyperlinks which can then be stored ina backend table, so that they can be fetched and updated in the form at a later stage during the subsequent workflow steps?
Any inputs on this would be of gret help..
I searched the forum for queries but none were really helpful. Please help me out with this issue..
Regards,
Amith

Hello experts,
I am using Livecycle designer version 8.0 and do not have the 'Launch URL' UI element. So I have to resort to using a text field and a button with a script to launch the URL. Something like
xfa.host.gotoURL(url.rawValue, true);
This works for a web URL but this is not opening any network shared folders. Is there any way to achieve this?
Secondly, I want it to open in a new window and not in the same browser window/tab that the form is in.
Any inputs on this would be really helpful.
Kind Regards,
Amith

How to use Adobe forms in ABAP

Hello Everybody,
I have used Adobe forms in webdynpro applications. Now, i want to use adobe forms in ABAP stack. Please provide me steps and guidelines to develop Adobe forms in ABAP.
What should be the infrastructure needed for that?
Thanks in Advance,
Bhavik

Hi Bhavik,
there is extensive documentation on creating PDF-based forms for printing in ABAP Workbench (transaction SFP) on the SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d2/4a94696de6429cada345c12098b009/frameset.htm.
The infrastructure is identical (ADS on Java Engine) except that you need an ABAP backend (minimum 6.40) and the corresponding SAP GUI. You also need to create an HTTP connection from your ABAP system to the ADS in transaction SM59 (see ADS Configuration Guide).
Your Adobe LiveCycle Designer installation from the NWDS should be OK, if you are working on the same frontend. (If you have difficulties with Designer, uninstall it and install it with the SAP GUI again).
Note that Web Dynpro for ABAP integration is only supported as of NetWeaver 2004s (going into ramp-up with mySAP ERP 2005 this month), which means that interactive scenarios are more cumbersome to implement in ABAP with NetWeaver 04.
Some of the things you get with the Web Dynpro framework (such as the return of data in interactive scenarios via the WD context) would need to be manually coded when working in SFP, which was designed for output forms.
Hope this helps,
