Input data in adobe form not geting saved to desktop

Dear All,
I have adobe form incorporated in a wed dynpro component. It's an interactive form and user has option to fill in details in the form. There is a submit button which user can click in order to submit details. This submit in turn does posting. Method is written in wed dynpro view for validation and posting.
My problem starts here, when user has clicked on submit and posted, posting happens and finally the data is present in adobe form with the new PR no crated. When i try to save this form in my desktop it saves a blank form and not the data which is present in it. However if i don't click on submit and save the pdf with the manually entered values it save properly with the data.
Please help in getting to bottom of this issue. One point, i have no idea about adobe forms, so pleae let me know for some obvious case as well.
Thanking everybody in advanc.
Regards,
Saud

Thanks for your reply.
1. I tried finding similar questions but was not able to do so.
2. Yesterday itself i found out that it's working fine for some users but not for others. So i am just wondering whether it's a problem related to version of softwares like Adobe or IE?
I have IE7 and Adobe Reader 9.4
Please give some inputs, friends.

Saud

Adobe form not saving user-input data into saved pdf file

Hi forumers,
I'm a new abap developer and I'm tasked to create an interactive adobe form that will require the user to input data in the form.
No data is passed and received from PDF, but PDF has to be u2018Fillableu2019. I am able to fill out the form but when I actually save the form, it will be saved as a blank form again. I've seen the relevance of the LS_DOCPARAMS-FILLABLE = 'X' on this forum and I have incorporated it in my code. But how should I code the abap program to enable to save the user input as well into the form.

Not quite yet, I have to say...
If you check the domain "FPINTERACTIVE", you'll see these values:
               Print Form
X     Interactive Form with Additional Usage Rights
N     Interactive Form Without Additional Usage Rights
F
So, you are not providing "additional usage rights" (Adobe Form Credentials), meaning there could be a problem when you want to use those forms in a Production environment.

Hi,
After creating new data connection in the Lifecycle designer, all the attributes in the web service will appear in the 'Data View'.
Drag and drop a DropDownList from the library palette
Add the static values and texts to it
Select the UI element (DropDownList) within the form designer.
Goto Object palette --> Binding
select Import/Export Bindings (Execute):
Select data connection and give the binding attribute.

Getting data in Adobe forms

Hi,
what are the ways to get the custom field data into adobe forms. I want to use in WD application.I made the zpdf form with standard and added some custom fields in that. But how to get the data from table .
Thanks

hi,
->For getting data from table into Adobe Forms, you need to add code in your WD application only.
-> You create an UI Element (Interactive Form) for the adobe forms in the Layout.
-> Give the name of your form (Zpdf) in the Template Source property.
-> A pop up will appear asking you to make contexts in your application by its own.
-> Click on Ok and then context will also appear in your Wd application.
-> Now you can use the context and write the code for getting values in Wddoinit or anywhere you want.
-> Write select/query or call a FM to fetch the data into an internal table.
->Finally bind the internal table with the Contexts created.

Adobe form not saving data.

hi Experts,
I am facing strange problems with Adobe forms.
I am working on both Offline and online adobe forms.
adobe form which i make does not allow to save data.
I am using the Adobe liveCycle designer 7.1.
The Adobe reader version is 7.08
and service pack is SPS 11.
I have used both the tutorials for offline and online adobe forms.
Online Problem :-
The project for online works fine and it also allows to save data(when i save the form on my PC).
But when i create a new form on my machine it does not allow to save data.
Really confuse what the problem is.
I have also tried this.
Copeid the XDP file from the Online tutorial project into my project
if i use this work around the the problem is resolved. But i am no able to understand why the XDP CREATED on my machine does not work.
Offline problem:-
In this case i am not able to save data in the form at all.
As the PDF created itself not allow to save data.
Please help.
Points would be awarded to helpful answers.

Sanjyoti.

Hi Satya & sanjyoti,
I am facing a pecular problem in using Adobe forms.
I am able to pass data from webdynpo application, to the Interactive form(using mappings, as mentioned by satya).
But for the same form & WD application, i am not able to pass data from the Interactive Form, back to the WD application.
My scenario is like this:
I need to show a form, with some prefilled data, such as date, userID, etc. I populate the node in my WD application, & then call the form.
The form displays the above prefilled data. Now the user has to fill the remaining fields & click on submit(Submit-to-sap button). The onsubmit property of the Interactive form is mapped to a onaction event, where WD tries to read the data entered by the user.
The problem is that on clicking of the submit button in the form, the event is not getting called.
If i use a button in the WD view itself, then the action gets called, but there is no data. In short, the data is NOT getting passed from Interactive form to WD application.
Can you please help me out with this?
Thanks,
Hanoz

One section data of adobe form is not read by web dynpro code

Hi,
I am facing problem in adobe form integrated with web dynpro. Form is having Java script. There is a section in the form related to settlement rule of wbs. It can be added in the form by pressing add record button.
When I use this form offline and press add record and one section is added. I fill the data in those two section and upload on the portal to process online data in the second section is not reaby the code whereas in the first section is present there.
But if the same activity is performed online data is properly read by the code.
Could you please assist if there is any issue of saving data in the form offline and how it is handled in offline form.
Thanx..

Hi ,
Try this.
I think you have corresponding context node is in the WDP. using 'APPEND INITIAL LINE TO' just add some blank data to the context. .
Inside the form, create a table for the context node. so at run time all the empty entry will be displayed. Make this Table as hidden.
Create another Table that will display all the non empty row from the above hidden table. When ever we add / delete rows, the corresponding entry will update the hidden table. or else you can update the hidden table on the click event of SUBMIT .
Hope this will help you.

Please help me with some information.

Sorting of data in adobe forms

Hi,
We have an adobe form designed which picks the data from the backend. In one specific case, a table comprising of different headers with different data, including date is being called.
My pdf simply displays the data, the way it is stored in the backend. But now I want to display the data, sorting by its date mentioned. Is it possible for the pdf to read the content of the data and display it based on the sorting defined on the layout end?
I did come across the 'controls' option for the table(under context) and tried adding the field name for sorting based on ascending/descending. But unfortunately, whenever I tried to enter the field name as 'date', it gives me an error saying "component does not exist". I have tried for other fields too, but the same message. This message comes irrespective of the check box for 'already sorted' property.
What could be the reason for this?
In the code initialisation of the interface, I heard that there can be a sort mechanism being coded. Is this alternative possible in my case?
Please provide your valuable inputs.
Thanks

You´d better sort the table in the backend (data does not change in the form, as you said, you can do that). If that is your program which prepares the data, change it, if that is a standard, find an exit or repair it or you can do that in the interface. You would maybe like to read my blog about the changes of forms: /people/otto.gold/blog/2010/05/06/how-to-deal-with-sap-standard-adobe-forms

Read table data from Adobe Form in WD method

Hello,
   Context is like this :
   ADOBE_DATA        --- Node
         POS                  -
Node   which has Dict. Stru : TABLE card : o..n
               POSNR       --- Attribute
               MATNR       -
Attribute
Created Adobe Interactive Form through the template source of view layout.So xml schema generated automatically
and is all ok.
Method on action Submit :
DATA :
Node_zatodv_pos       type ref to If_Wd_Context_Node,
it_zatodv_pos TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF zatodv_tab_pos.
Node_pos =
             Node_Adobe_data->get_Child_Node( Name = If_MAIN=>wdctx_POS ).
Node_pos->get_static_attributes_table( importing table = it_zatodv_pos ).
When I test the application,this method returns SY-SUBRC is 0 but internal table is "always empty".
I have also individual attributes in the context which are read correctly.Only get_static_attribute_table doesn't read the table content.Please could any one help me where would be the problem.
Thank you

Hi peter,
If you are trying to add data to a standard SAP table then you should use a FM or BAPI for that but if the table is not standard then you can use following steps but it would be better to do it using FM or BAPI.
Do the following(without FM/BAPI):
1. Crate a context in your view mapped to the fields of the database table.
2. Now use this context as the data source for the form.
3. Map the fields of the form with the attributes of the context.
4. Now create a button on the form or on your view which has a action event handler method.
5. In the method use code wizard to read the context attached to adobe form. By default it will create a structure containing data, which will be sufficient for adding one record at a time.
6. Now use this structure to add data to table using SQL queries.
Do the following for FM/BAPI integration:
1. Create a FM/BAPI which has the functionality to add data to your SAP table.
2. Now use service call to add the FM/BAPI fields as a context to your web dynpro component's context.
3. Now map it with the view where the adobe form is created.
4. Follow steps 2nd, 3rd and 4th as above.
5. Now in your Action method use code wizard to call the method created by service call to FM/BAPI.
This will work as required.
Please reward points if useful.

Vaibhav Tiwari.

Text in ADOBE form not printing while printing the form

Hi All,
I have created an adobe form and am trying to trigger an output linked to the form. The problem is that the output that gets triggered does not show some of the texts which are existing in the form.
So although the values are coming correctly the overall output becomes incorrect as the text goes missing. Let me know if you have any pointers to the issue I am facing.
Cheers,
Sharadendu

Hi Sharadendu,
First of all you need to put this question in Adobe Form related Forums.
Problems can be many in this case.
1: Overflow subform not selected.
2: Some condition failing in the text or subform.
3: Incorrect nesting of subforms.
Mainly your problem will be with the subforms , so you need to croos check all the subforms which you have used to hold data.

Sandeep Katoch

Updating data in adobe form

Hi All,
In my java webdynpro application, i want to show an adobe form and allow the user to update the data. Then, i want to store the form in binary in a db table.
The layout of my form is not fixed as a different form can be uploaded each time. So, all i have is the binary of the interactive form.
I have added the interactive form uielement in my view. I have bound the 'pdfsource' property to a context attribute that contains the binary of the interactive form to be shown. Also, i have chosen 'usepdf' in the mode.
Now, after the user updates the form, if i read the context attribute bound to pdfsource, will i get the updated data in the form? Or should i do anything more to get the desired result?
Thanks and Regards,
Ram

Hi Ram,
In my Project we solved the same type of situation in following Procedure.
1.) First after the User enters data in to the Form u hav to read it from the PDF
      by using this code .It converts the Data in to XML Format.
public String getData(String pdfSource) throws EJBException
ByteArrayOutputStream pdfSourceOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
try
   InputStream pdfSourceInputStream = new FileInputStream(new File(pdfSource));
   IOUtil.write(pdfSourceInputStream, pdfSourceOutputStream);
   pdfSourceInputStream.close();
catch (Exception e)
   System.out.println(e.getMessage());
   throw new EJBException(e.getMessage());
IWDPDFObject pdfObject = WDPDFObjectFactory.getPDFObject();
pdfObject.setPDF(pdfSourceOutputStream);
ByteArrayInputStream dataInputStream =                                      (ByteArrayInputStream) pdfObject.getData();
if (dataInputStream == null)
    return(null);
else
    try
      String output = formatData((InputStream) dataInputStream);
      return(output);
    catch (Exception e)
       System.out.println(e.getMessage());
       throw new EJBException(e.getMessage());
2.) Then u can get the data from tht XML code easily & store it in the Data Base where u need.
--> For more Details watch the " TutWD_PdfObject " Sample Application from this site .
I Think It helps u lot.
With Regards,
Roop Kumar.
