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 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.

Search Help on Adobe Interactive Form with Web Dynpro ABAP
Hi All,
I have created Adobe Interactive Form with ZCI type and XML based interface type using Webdynpro ABAP.
I placed a text field USER_NAME on the form ( data element is linked to search help USER_COMP ).
Added Native WD UI element 'Value Help' to form to search for users and changed script
*var fieldName = "INSERT_NAME_HERE*"; to var fieldName = "USER_NAME";
The problem is that when I click on the value help button, nothing happens.
Is any more additional steps required ?
Thanks

Blank page getting displyed whn using adobe interactive forms
Hi All,
I am Facing one problem while using Adobe interactive forms in Web Dynpro.
on deploy interactive form is not getting displayed.
Deployment result shows blank view....
m not getting the cause of the problem.
kindly help if someone knows the cause/solution.
Thanks,
AmitHi there,
I am having the same problem. I deployed the same WD with IF on 2 different machines and there everything works fine. I using the same browser (IE6) on all the machines. Where are using Native IF and running Adobe Reader 7.0.8. We are on NW04s SP9.
I tested the ADS Webservice on the machine and that is working fine.....
Hope somebody can tell me where to look.
Thx in advance.
Amit, when you are using IF type "native" the at least run Adobe Reader 7.0.8. Maybe this solves the problem for you.
Kind regards,

Heavy performance issues using Adobe Interactive Form PDFs generated by SAP BPM
Dear experts,
we use Adobe Interactive Form PDFs (generated with LiveCycle Designer) as Human Tasks within SAP BPM processes. The PDFs are generated and transmitted correctly, but when they are opened at the receivers PC, Windows freezes for 2-3 minutes, then the PDF opens and can be filled out and sent back. The next PDFs can be opened much faster, but when the PC is restarted, we get the same problem again. We use Adobe Reader XI (11.0.2) on our clients; is their any know performance issue?
Please note, that we have this problem with EVERY Adobe Interactive Form PDF... I created a simple PDF containing just a field and the client PC still freezes. So it can't be in the form or the scripting. Normal static PDFs can be opend without any problems.
Best regards,
DavidThey haven't really announced it, because there is no product to announce. Rather the opposite.
There are no conversion tools, so far as I know.
XFA forms are a non-starter if you want portability.
AcroForms are a nightmare in themselves, because the functionality is limited in Adobe Reader and varies between absent and weird in other products. No idea about Blackberry support.
You will not find a simple recommendation. Rather, you need to use Acroforms and carefully test everything (EVERYTHING: no assumptions) on every platform you intend to support.
Yes, rather unsatisfactory, but until Adobe realise that the future is platform equivalence or irrelevance, this is where we are. -
Adobe Interactive Forms with Browser Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox
Hi Experts,
We have a requirement to implement HCM P&F using Adobe Interactive Forms. These Adobe Forms will be accessed using Browser Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox. I have come across that the Adobe Interactive Forms are not supported on these browsers. In the same regard I have also gone through the Product Availability Matrix by SAP which specifies that Forms are not support on these browser and neither SAP has future plans to support them.
PAM can be found on link: http://service.sap.com/pam
I would like to know from experts that if any of the project has successfully implemented Adobe Interactive Forms with browser Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox or
is there any solution which can make these forms work successfully on browser Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox.
Your early reply will be highly appreciated.
thanks
ManojHello,
Mozilla Firefox is supported for Adobe Interactive Forms on Windows operation system.
Unfortunatelly we do not have support for Mac OS and Safari browser.
Please re-check the PAM.

Adobe Interactive forms with Graph and Japanese text
Hi Experts,
I want to use graph/bar/pie chart with Adobe Interactive forms and along with that the UI element's(Button,lable,table header,column) text has to be in Japanese language.
Is it possible using Adobe interactive form ?
Thanks in advance.I don´t understand. Where do you want the Japanese texts? In the ordinary fields? Then you have to use (of course install first) some Japanese fonts for the fields. If you would like to have the texts in the picture, then there is no problem with the form since the texts are coming as a part of the picture into the form and you don´t need any fonts. Of course you need to install/ configure the japanese fonts in the backend to be able to draw it into the picture.

Designing Labels using Adobe Interactive Forms
Is anyone out there using Adobe Interactive Forms to design packaging labels? If so, I'd be interested in hearing about your experiences with this. In particular, I'd like to know if you evaluated third-party label design software and did a comparative analysis with Adobe Interactive Forms as well as the results of your analysis (what were the strengths and weaknesses of each).
We are a medical device manufacturing company, so we have to comply with the FDA's 21 CFR Part 820 regulations so ideally I'd like to get some feedback from another FDA-regulated company.Hi Pedro
in principle, this is the way you need to set up your landscape to work with a 4.7 system.
<b>However</b>: If you read the FAQ here in <a href="http://sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/interactiveforms">SDN</a> or in the <a href="http://service.sap.com/adobe">SAP Service Marketplace</a>, you'll see that SAP explicit recommends <b>NOT</b> to use this setup for printing scenarios. This is due to possible issues with performance expectations.
You are welcome to use this setup for interactive scenarios.

Saving Adobe Interactive Form into a Server Path in Webdynpro.
Hi Forum,
I have an Adobe Interactive Form as UI element in my webdynpro View. This form is available in the context attribute in Binary Format. I can read the form from this attribute as Byte Array only. I want to save this file in to a folder located in the Portal Server (ex : path :
usr\jc00\j2ee\........\temp\myfolder).
I am trying with the following code :
IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo = wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute(IPrivateTestCompView.IContextElement.PDF_SOURCE);
IWDModifiableBinaryType binaryType =(IWDModifiableBinaryType) attributeInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
IPrivateTestCompView.IContextElement element = wdContext.currentContextElement();
binaryType.setMimeType(WDWebResourceType.PDF);
//if a file in the 'FileResource' attribute exists
if (element.getPDFSource() != null) {
try {
String ext=binaryType.getMimeType().getFileExtension();
String fileName="PriceUpdateForm1";
byte[] b = wdContext.currentContextElement().getPDFSource();
File files = new File("C:
usr

EP7
JC00
j2ee
temp

"fileName"."+ext);
try {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(files);
out.write(b);
out.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
//TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(e.getMessage());
} catch (IOException e) {
//TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(e.getMessage());
element.setPDFSource(null);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new WDRuntimeException(e);
it is giving me the error :-

Unable to close browser when using Adobe Interactive Form
Hello,
I'm using an Interactive Form in my Web Dynpro application. Everything works fine, but when the view with the Interactive Form is active, I am not able to close the browser window anymore. Moving to another view is also not possible.
I already changed all the options of the Interactive Form but always the same behaviour.
I am developing on Web AS 6.40, Service Pack 11. ADS is installed also with Service Pack 11.
Adobe Reader is Version 7.0 and Adobe Designer is Version 7.1
Has anyone an idea what's wrong?
Thanks for your help!
Best regards
ChristianHi,
I am facing a problem with viewing SAP interactive forms.
I have the SAPForms.api in Adobe reader plugins but is outdated (19th apr, 05). How do I get the new one and how do I register it ? This same scenario works on a colleague's machine with same config except the SAPForms.api which is latest. (Nov, 05)
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

How to use an Interactive form in a CAF 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,
ManishHi Manish,
If I get you correctly then you want to Upload a prefilled Adobe IF from some location without any user interaction and save it to some Backend/Temp storage: You need to have something like you have a user inbox and mail comes to this with the Adobe Form as an attachment, you extract the attachment and read it using available Java apis for reading. You can also specify a particular folder where you can place the filled form and then read it using FileInputStream and can save it in the backend after you have it in binary form in your application.
Hope this helps!!
Cheers,

Using Adobe interactive forms in CAF
Dear,
We're setting up the following flow :
1/ Adobe Interactive Form -> Enter data, press button, triggers webservice, starts GP.
2/ GP -> Does RFC call with values from form, returns different values
These steps pose no problem at the moment, but we're unsure how to proceed with the next steps. A new interactive form needs to be sent with the new data, which should then trigger the next step in the GP upon completion.
Is this possible, to do this and still stay in the same GP?
We can generate a form with an RFC call if necessary, I'd even prefer this, but then how do we know what to send back to the GP to stay in the same GP? Can we call a specific step in an existing GP to trigger the next one?
Thanks in advance,
Frederik-JanBasically this example described by SAP itself :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/c4/8d4a4273bb3830e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
The problem is, I haven't found the description of how to do this. Only that it's possible, which is little help sadly enough.
Example 1: Offline Form for In-Process Use
You can use such form to execute certain process steps offline and get data required for the next steps in the process.
For example, you can create a form that is sent to the processor by e-mail. The recipient enters the required data in the form offline, and submits it back to Guided Procedures (GP). The input data is then passed to the relevant parameters of the next action in the process.
To implement this scenario, you must:
· Design an appropriate interactive form with input fields for all required data, and a Submit button that sends the information back to the GP framework.
· Create an interactive form callable object with the following configuration parameters selected:
¡ Enable Use in Guided Procedures
¡ Create an Offline Interactive Form and Send it by E-Mail
· Add the callable object to an action, and insert the action into the relevant block and process.
· Consolidate the parameters, so that the output of the interactive form is mapped to the input of the next action in the process.
The predefined Check User block implements this scenario. -

Web Service is not triggering using Adobe Interactive Form
Hello Experts,
I know this is a common topic now , but the problem I am facing, no thread help me to solve that.
Problem:--
My requirement is to create an adobe form , in which
-> an input field is needed,and some description is needed.
I used button to trigger my webservice.
Here , I want to clear that , I have made a proper WEB SERVICE using Remote Enabled FM.
My web service is working fine as I have tested from WS NAVIGATOR(Note: http://<source>:<port>/wsnavigator).
In Adobe Form (SFP), I have made a new Data connection using WebService WSDL.
All Request and Response parameters are availabe in Data View palletes of Form.
Button that is available from data connection is used.
I have used Button as an Execute button , under execute tab in connection , I had given DATA CONNECTION name .
But above things not worked so ,
I also tried with Regular Button , and under click written Javascript/FormCalc which is:--
var cURL = 'http://x.y.com:8012/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/ZMATERIAL_DESCRIPTION?sap-client=800&wsdl=1.1';
var service = SOAP.connect(cURL);
xfa.connectionSet.DataConnection2.execute(0);
But this also not worked .
So, I think there can be a little issue may be , I am forgetting to click some special atrributes in form .
Please help me and let me know what can be probable reasons that webservice is not triggering
Thanks a lot ,
JeetSolved my self, converted PDF into image and used that pdf as a static image in Adobe Interactive Form.

Navigation problem while using Adobe interactive form in web dynpro
Hi frds,
I have a 2 views..
1st view contains an ADobe from and a button to navigate to the 2nd view..
No problem with the first view.. displays everything...
The Problem is when i click the button to nsvigate to the 2nd view, its not loading...
Wait symbol is coming...
Please Help me friends...hi ,
pls use the ZCi layout for the adobe interactive form .
Need to Insert the web dynpro script to the form.
Note: Make sure to upgrade the Adobe Interactive for ZCI type using SFP_ZCI_UPDATE transaction
Subsequently, check whether the update of the ZCI was successfully completed. To do this, open your form in the Adobe LiveCycleDesigner and check the version information of the ZCI script. The ZCI script is available on the "Hierarchy" tab page under the "ContainerFoundation_JS" name. The version must be800.20080513120641.469612.469346.
