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,
Manish

Hi 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,
Arafat

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.

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.

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
Christian

Hi,
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.

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.

Suresh

I am trying to use a interactive form and it says "If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document." This is a IRS form and has worked before.

I tested the ADS Webservice on the machine and that is working fine.....

Amit, when you are using IF type "native" the at least run Adobe Reader 7.0.8. Maybe this solves the problem for you.

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,
David

They 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.

How to use sys_context in form

i would like to need info about
how to use sys_context in form
for getting value in variable

I don't know what you mean by "terminal name". If you want to get the user's IP address, you can create a stored function (or create a package, and include the function there), that returns the USERENV sys_context variable. Here is how you create a function on the database:Create or replace Function IP_Address return varchar2 is begin
Return sys_context('USERENV','IP_ADDRESS');
End;
/Now, you can use the function from a SQL select, another procedure, or a form. Here are several examples:
In SQL:Select IP_Address from dual;In a form:Message('IP Address='||IP_Address);

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.
