How to read data fra adobe interactive pdf form into WDA context?

Hi,
I have a pdf form which is pre filled with some data and then the user has the opportunity to add some data to the pdf form.
I want to retrieve this data into my context without having to add a button into the pdf form which will send back data to WDA. Currently i am using pdfSource but it is not updating the context.
If needed i can change to use dataSource/templateSource instead of pdfSource.
Thanks

I don't think that link will help. The PDF Source isn't updating either on data entry into the form
The issue here is that the Adobe form does not update the SAP context until you tell it to do so. You really need to trigger an event in the form to cause that update, a button as previously mentioned is one amongst many ways of doing this.

Dynamic element binding between XML based PDF form and WDA context

Hi Experts,
I am working on a XML based interactive form.There is a table node in the XML interface which generated by WDA context, and binding on a subform in the PDF form.
I tried to add instances to the subform using javascript. Unfortunately, I can not get the internal table in WDA.
If I initialize the table to 10 lines in WDA , and then add 5 line to it in PDF, when I submit the PDF, I can only get 10 lines in the WDA framework. It seems that the element which is create dynamically can not be past to the interface.
Could you tell me why? And is there any other better solution? I just want build a table in PDF form in runtime and pass it to WDA context.
Thanks a lot!
Best Regards,
Guo Guo Qing

Hi Thomas,
Thank you for your reply.
I think the performance will be a problem if I create the elment in WDA using submit event. I need to create hundreds of record dynamically. I must find some way to reduce the communication between the WDA and PDF form. Maybe I can set a container with a number of elements before the PDF output. Do you have some better ideas?

How to read attachment from adobe interactive form

Hi,
My requirement is- vendor should fill all the detail in an offline interactive form and attach necessary documents in the form itself. How can i read the attachments from the form inside my program and how can i store it in SAP. I am using FM ' SMUM_XML_PARSE' to read all the data in the form.

mailForm
Parameters: bUI, cTo, [cCc], [cBcc], [cSubject], [cMsgBody]
Returns: nothing
This method exports the form data and mails the resulting FDF file as an attachment to all recipients,
with or without user interaction depending on the value of bUI.
If it is set to true then the rest of the parameters are used to seed the compose new message window that is displayed to the user.
If bUI is set to false, the cTo parameter is required and all others are optional.
You must use a semicolon u201C;u201D to separate multiple recipients in cTo, cCc, cBcc parameters.
The length limit for cSubject and cMsgBody is 64k bytes.
Example:
/* This will pop up the compose new message window */
this.mailForm(true);
/* This will send out the mail with the attached FDF file to fun1 @ fun . com and fun2 @ fun . com */
this.mailForm(false, "fun1 @ fun . com; fun2 @ fun . com", "", "", "This is the subject", "This is the body of the mail.");
Note:
This is a Windows-only feature. In addition, the client machine must have its
default mail program configured to be MAPI enabled in order to use this method.
I had to change the code:
instead of this.mailDoc :
var myDoc = event.target;
myDoc.mailDoc(false, "fun1 @ fun . com; fun2 @ fun . com", "", "", "This is the subject", "This is the body of the mail." );
But the outlook new message window still opens...
Any Idea's?

Can you migrate/ alter that .pdf file as EXCEL or TEXT file? I am not aware of any tools do that
you will have to write an app to do this.

Reading data from Print based PDF form

We have a requirement to send our PDF output for Payslips generated using Adobe forms to a thirdparty for printing. They require a way of knowing the value of certain fields in the PDF as part of the printing/sorting process and also know where each payslip ends (i.e. 1 PDF file with multiple payslips, each payslip can be a variable number of pages).
Is this type of information still accessible in the PDF by default?
If not can it be embedded?
What tools/language APIs can be used to inspect the PDF for this type of data.

hmmm.. that's a good question and could be handy - they wouldn't have to use some sort of OCR technology.
you'd probably find a better answer on Adobe's Forum for something this specifically related to the form
you can find it [here|http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle]
There are many Livecycle forums - looks like LiveCycle Designer ES is the most used.
Also, there's a gmail group you can join which is pretty active.

Inserting PDF form into Word

I am needing to insert an interactive PDF form into a section in a word document. It is an approval page and MUST be pdf-protected, but still let the user fill in the areas where allowed. Word lets me insert this file and I am able to type in the areas where needed - the interactive feature works great to this point. Even after saving what I've typed/entered, it still doesn't display what I typed in Word (the inserted interactive PDF). Can anyone tell me how I can get my pdf to work properly this way?

I have not done this but I can assure you that there is nothing in Designer to do with this. At that point it is a PDF so how woudl you add any other PDF to your swing panel?

How do I complete an electronic signature field in an Interactive PDF form (created in Indesign)?

How do I complete an electronic signature field in an Interactive PDF form (created in Indesign)? This form will serve as an employment application on a website. The goal is to have any person (interested in applying for a job via the Internet) access, complete and electronically sign the form upon submission.

Hi,
Via createPDF you would not be able to electronic sign the PDF form, you would either require Adobe Reader or purchase Adobe Acrobat to sign the PDF.

How to integrate Flashisland for Adobe interactive forms

Hi Experts,
Can you please help us in understanding how to integrate Flashisland with adobe interactive forms?
We need to add swf file in the interactive forms, which will be used in webdynpro abap application.
Any idea will be helpful for us.
Thanks for the support.
Regards
Sathish

Hi Sathish,
You can not add swf file in interactive form, however you can integrate you flash island with web dynpro ABAP application.
Adobe flash island and adobe interactive form are two different things and have different purposes.
You can have adobe flash island and adobe interactive form in a single WD application(even as part of the same screen), but still there will be integration on the data level not on UI level. The UI elements for both will react separately from each other and there can't be any integration of adobe flash island inside adobe form.
However you can develop a flash application using which you can view adobe interactive form similar to adobe reader and use this flash application as part of your WD ABAP application but that doesn't make any sense as without flash island we can show it in WD ABAP view.
I hope this will clear your doubt.

Vaibhav

Adobe Interactive PDF - Submit by mail directly without intermediate outlook window

Hello,
We are in a SAP 46c ECC6 upgrade, and we use Adobe interactive PDF for some ESS specific functionalities.
We use also outlook.
We have an interactive PDF with submit button (execute sendmail).
When we click on it, an outlook window appears, and fields are correctly filled with our information (to; object; attachement), but we still have to CLICK on the outlook send button.
Because the goal of this interactive PDF is partly to simplify the users actions, we want to avoid this last click step, and directly send the mail.
Do you have any idea ?
Thanks.

Did you use this script in your button?

Can Adobe Interactive PDF consume a service that returns JSON?

Can Adobe Interactive PDF consume a service that returns JSON? A few web sites seem to suggest it can:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=functions_c-d_43.html
http://blogs.adobe.com/acdc/2008/08/using_json_to_exchange_data_wi.html

Its probably better to post this in the Form or Designer forum as those ones deal more with the capabilities of XFA based PDFs. The Generator forum deals with the server software that converts documents to PDF.
Having said that.
You should be able to do it, but not directly. I don't believe that there is a way to map the JSON returned values to a field, as XFA pdf's generally support XML. You may be able to put the returned JSON value into a single field and then write some code that would parse that value into the proper fields.
