Adding Barcode to Adobe Form using Adobe LifeCycle Designer

I am hoping someone can help me. I have created a PDF form and have added 2 3-of-9 barcodes to the form using Adobe LifeCycle Designer version 8.0. I see the barcodes when I prin tthe form from Adobe but when I run my web page to print out the form using pdf, only the default value shows on the printed form, no tthe barcode as expected? Do I need some other software?
Thanks in advance

Hi Vasu,
Yes you can add fonts on ADS.
Adobe document services require access to fonts that are installed with the Font Manager Module. This module contains a number of Adobe bundled fonts installed in
"/usr/sap/<SAPSID>/JC<xx>/j2ee/os_libs/adssap/FontManagerService/fonts/adobe".
You can also add fonts obtained from other vendors. The types of fonts you can add are OpenType® (.otf), TrueType® (.ttf), and PostScript® Type 1 (.pfb/.pfm).
Procedure
To add fonts:
1. Create a subdirectory called fonts below the
"/usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/global/AdobeDocumentServices/ FontManagerService" directory.
Enter JC<xx> if your system is a SAP Web AS J2EE system.
Enter DVEBMGS<xx> if your system is a SAP Web AS ABAP + J2EE system (J2EE Add-In).
2. Create a subdirectory called customer below the fonts/ directory created in the previous step.
3. Copy your fonts into the "/usrsap/<SAPSID>/SYS/global/AdobeDocumentServices/ FontManagerService/fonts/customer" directory.
4. Restart the Document Services Font Manager for the changes to take effect.
5. Also restart the application com.adobe/AdobeDocumentServices for the changes to take effect.

I have developed a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro. The form has several fields and some of the information is captured in a bar code. What programs must be used to open the form to properly fill the form out? Adobe Reader, Adobe Xi, Ibook, etc.. I

I have created a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro that contains several data fields with some feeding data to a barcode in the document. I have a "button" set up to save and send the completed form one it is completed. Some of the user are having troubles filling out the form as they are using various programs to do such as iBook, Adobe Reader, etc.... Sometimes the information is not transferred to the barcode and sometimes the "submittal button" doesn't function properly.
Please provide a solution or give me a list of the programs that must be used to properly open and fill out the form.
Greatly appreciated.

Best option is to use Adobe Reader (or Acrobat, of course) on a desktop computer (ie, not on a mobile device). Any other configuration is likely to be problematic.

Extension fields in forms using Adobe LiveCycle Designer and SAP Cloud Application Studio.

Hello everyone,
I am new to using SAP Cloud Application Studio and am currently working on forms.
I have created some extension fields in the dunning letter form message type : FormDunning Notification.
Upon activating, the extension fields do show up in backend form data type structure.
However i am unable to find the fields in the front end form under Form Template Maintenance.
I have tried opening form with open editor as well as downloading template and opening in Adobe LiveCycle Designer .
After creating the data connection in adobe ,the first field (ProjNumDun ) do appear in correct place in data view.But i cant find the rest of the fields.
Any help,guidance and suggestion will be really appriciated.
Thanking in advance,
Kamakshi

Kamakshi,
First, any extension fields added must be explicitly assigned to appear on the forms. Through Front-end Adaptation, this would be via the "Further Usage" link. Within the SDK, you'd right-click the XBO and select "Enhance Forms" (which would take you to the same screen as you'd end up at in through front-end").
You must select "Add Field and Edit..." to actually assign it to the Form Template schema.
Once this step is done, re-download the Form Template, and make sure to reload the Data Connection within LiveCycle. Through there, you should see your fields. You'll likely have to dig for them - they appear at the very end of the child elements.
Note that, while fields added through the front-end have a long string appended to the end (for example, it would appear as "ExtensionField_1234AISU897234HJA" if added via front-end adaptation), the fields added via the SDK do NOT have the suffix (you'll be looking for an element with JUST the field name, i.e. "ExtensionField")

Using Adobe Lifecycle Designer in NWDS 7.0.15

Hi all,
I have imported one existing Web Dynpro project. It displays data to user on Web Dynpro View as well as in PDF format.
For this, it is containing some .xdp file which I am not able to open in my Netweaver Studio.
Could you please tell me how do I open this file and edit the PDF form?
I heard that I need to install some plug in for this. Where do i get this plugin? What does it called?
Do I have to configure something after I download and install this plugin?
Please help.
Thanks and regards,
Amey Mogare

Okie..
But after installing this software, would I be able to edit / enhance the PDF view in web dynpro project?
For example, currently the PDF is showing some data from context. And I want to show some more data in PDF view that user sees.
Would this installation ensures that I would be able to edit this PDF?
Thanks and regards,
Amey Mogare

Factors need for interactive forms by Adobe

Hi All,
Could anyone tell me the factors that would influence the efforts estimation and what are steps involved in during the development of interactive forms with Adobe.
Regards,
Sid

Hi Sid,
there is no simple answer to this question.
Here are a few pointers on what to consider:
- Depending on what you want to do, the development environment and your familiarity with it. The choice is there (Web Dynpro for Java and ABAP, transaction SFP for print forms, Guided Procedures, Internal Service Request, printing in BI), but how well do you know your way around the environment? (Don't forget, the form is only one small aspect of your application.)
- Complexity of the form, and thus the need to script in Adobe LiveCycle Designer
- Experience of the forms developer (SAP-internally we have seen differences of several factors)
A simple interactive form can be done in 1-2 days including testing. With print forms, things become more complex with a medium-complexity form (a table, some scripting for business logic) taking about 7 days.
<b>Most importantly</b>, please take this to heart:
- A PDF form does not and cannot replace a full-fledged application. Most people don't realize that a form is in essence not a lot more than a user's view on (i.e. interface with) the system. The business logic is in the system, and should be limited in the form.
- Of an overall business process using a PDF form, at most 20% is spent on forms development. The bulk of the work is the application (usually involving some sort of workflow) surrounding the form.
Hope this helps,

Issues with Adobe LifeCycle Designer

Hi,
I m using Adobe LifeCycle Designer 7.0 with SAP NetWeaver 7.0.11 on windows XP.I m facing these 2 problems :
1. In my form i have few subforms.For those i have set Auto fit property as true,Expand to fit property is true ,Allow multiple lines property is true ,Allow Page breaks within content property is true & the layout is flow content.
If the complete data for 1 subform is shown in same page,it shows the complete data but if the data is split into more than 1 pages,its showing the data in both pages but it truncates some data.
e.g. Suppose 1 have a subform & in that 20 rows are available.If that subform split in 2 pages,it shows 10 rows in 1st page but in 2nd page it shows only 6-7 rows & truncates 2-3 rows from the last.I m not sure what can be the problem.
2. I m not able to put some extra space between 2 subforms while using Flow Content Layout.
regards
Sumit

To create a form in the AcroForm format or LiveCycle Designer you will need Acrobat Professional as Standard does not have the form tools. Although LiveCycle Designer will export in the XML format. It is also possible to export form data from Acrobat in the XML format by using the XFDF format.

Issues with Adobe LifeCycle Designer & SAP Netweaver

Hi,
I m using Adobe Lifecycle Designer 7.0 with SAP NetWeaver 7.0.11 on Windows XP.I m facing these 2 problems in that.
1. I have few subforms in my form & for those i have set Auto fit property as true,Expand to fit property is true ,Allow multiple lines property is true ,Allow Page breaks within content property is true & the layout is flow content.
If the complete data for 1 subform is shown in same page,it shows the complete data but if the data is split into more than 1 pages,its showing the data in both pages but it truncates 2-3 lines at the end.I m not sure what can be the problem?
2. While using Flow content ,i m not able to put some blank spaces between 2 subforms.
regards
Sumit

Hi Sumit,
You have probably worked this out by now but just in case anyone else has this problem (I remember how frustrating it was):
Just to point out this has nothing to do with NetWeaver (apart from the LiveCycle version it is using) only with LiveCycle.
Page flow will only occur within the parent subform so if you have an subform that is flowed it can only flow within the parent and if the parent is static (or positioned) then the child subform will appear to be cut off as it flows within its parent.
To be able to flow over pages you need to have all the parent objects right up the chain to the sub form that represents your page to be flowed as well.
The next challenge is to be able to position things the way you want them and flow your content. This is where you need to get a creative mix of positioned and flowed elements within your layout to achieve your goals.
Relating to the second question you can use the margin attributes to create space between two flowed objects.
Hope this helps (someone...)
Ben.

Adobe Lifecycle Designer and reader

I am using Adobe Lifecycle Designer ES 8.2 to design online forms. The version of Adobe Reader at the company is 8. When a user fills out the form using Adobe Reader 8, the user is unable to safe the form in Adobe Reader 8. Subsequently, the user cannot attach the form via email. The user receives a message in Adobe Reader that he/she can only save a blank version of the form, not a form filled with data. Is there a workaround for this?

Did you enable the form for Reader users to be able to save (that's an extra step after building the form)?
I'm not sure where it is in Designer but in Acrobat it's under Advanced>Extend features in Adobe Reader...
One thing to keep in mind (since you mentioned you are using this for a company) is that there are limitations in the EULA that prevent you from collecting data from a form more than 500 times. More than that could put your company at risk.
It may not be a big deal for your use but it's worth looking in to if you are going to use saveable forms.

Testing WebDynpro Adobe Interactive forms Using eCATT or any other testing

Hi All,
We are testing WebDynpro Adobe forms (Java). is there any methodology to test Interactive forms not normal webdynpro applications. Especially Interactive form with UI fields like dropdwons, datepickers dropdown values are from BAPI/RFC's in these forms we will perfom actions like send data to backend and display PO created in onther view.
once we repaly the test script all the drop down values are not updated this test scenario we tested with LR.
Is there any procedure to test this scenario using eCATT or any other testing Tool.

Hi Vara,
You can develop Interactive forms using WD ABAP also.
[E Learning- Interactive Forms using WD ABAP|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/media/uuid/c766e918-0b01-0010-99b1-c2b78cd059b3]
WD Java is useful in case, when your ABAP system is less than ECC 6.0. Otherwise you can achieve same functionalities in WD ABAP also.
Hope this will help you.

Problem with interactive forms using ABAP

Hi all,
    I am trying to create an interactive adobe form using ABAP in ECC 6.0. But while execute the form, it is creating an error saying that
Exception       SYSTEM_ERROR
Message ID:          FPRUNX                     Message number:           001
Message:
ADS: The render error log file has been written to D:\u(200101)
But i was able to create adobe interactive form using WebDynpro and its working perfectly. But the problem is while using ABAP method.
Do anyone have an idea why its happening?
Thanks and Regards,

Hi
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.
It is impossible to make a blanket statement on what needs to be done in each of the applications using a form for output. Despite the same underlying technology, forms handling has always been a decision for each SAP application: Some do it through customizing, some through coding, some in yet anither way.
What I CAN say from a technology pespective is that all applications are in the process of creating their forms based on Interactive Forms so that by 2007 pretty much all SAP forms will be PDF-based. Obviously, each application does it within the framework of their application - but they all use Interactive Forms.
By the way, be aware that in ERP 2004 this forms solution is subject to a limitation for high-volume printing scenarios as we cannot ensure that ALL customers will be content with the performance in ALL scenarios with this release. (see SAP Note 863893).
To get an overview idea about Adobe forms ,
Using SFP , 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.

Problem activating interactive forms using ABAP WD - tutorial Thomas Jung

Hello,
We are trying to built the sample WDA application with the interactive form, as described in the video of Thomas Jung.
Unfortunately, we are not able to activate the form.
In SE80, we don't see any errors at all. It simply isn't activated.
When we try to activate the form in trx SFP, the error "error during activation", is displayed, but no log, no solutions.
We use an Netweaver 2004s system ( WAS700 ) and the Adobe Lifecycle Designer 7.1
Anybody can help us on this issue ?
Thanks in advance,
Yoeri

Hello Yoeri,
I've a similar problem but when I try to activate the form there is an error number: EU837. Unfortunately there is no further advice. I tried the search-function but could not find anything.
Did you find out any solution for your problem?
Is there someone else who can give me a hint?
Thanks in advance,
Nadin
Edit:
Updating SAP GUI to 6.40 was the solution in my case.

SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe vs Duet

Can someone please tell me what the differences between SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe and DUET? Please give me a pros and cons for both software....

Hi,
SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe
As of SAP NetWeaver u201904 (in SAP Web Application Server), you can use a new solution to create interactive forms and print forms for the optimization of your form-based business processes. This solution uses Portable Document Format (PDF) and software from Adobe Systems Inc. that has been integrated into the SAP environment.
You can create interactive forms in PDF format that allow users to fill out the form on the screen and save their entries in XML format in the form. When the SAP system receives the PDF form, it extracts the data saved in the form, and can process it further.
You can also merge a form template with current system data to generate a PDF document that can then be printed or sent by e-mail.
SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe offer you the following business advantages:
1. Interactive functions automate the creation of data for SAP systems
2. Full integration into the SAP development environments for Java and ABAP
3. User-friendly tools reduce the time and costs associated with creating form layouts.
4. The usage of the PDF format means that forms retain their appearance regardless of the environment they are used in.

Problem with Grouping in Interactive Forms by Adobe

Hey Guys!
I have a problem using the group function for a table in Interactive Forms by Adobe and I have not found a solution yet, so I hope anybody can help me.
I've created the table in the LiveCycle Designer using subforms and I want to use the group function for a specific field of my table. Now the problem is that the entries of the table are not shown grouped for the same values of my specific field but there is still one row for each entry. How do I have to edit binding, flow etc. for the subforms of a group?
I hope anybody can help me or provide me a better solution.
Thanks in advance.
Martin

Hi Otto,
thanks for your reply.
I'm sorry the 'grouping function' I've announced is called 'control levels' in English I can set this function for a field of a table in the context of the form in the transaction SFP in SAP. Then in the hierarchy the field is displayed above the group of the other fields of the table. Usually in the form this should lead to a 'grouping' for the specific field so if you have identical values there is just one entry in the form and all the rows that have this value should appear behind. My problem is that there is still one entry in the form for every row.
Right now I'm using the solution you mentioned with the nested tables but i have some problems with the layout and page breaks (pagination).
Thanks for your help.
Martin
