Inserting/Embedding PDF documents to an SAP Adobe Form

Hi all,
We have a requirement to insert/embed an external PDF documents to an SAP Adobe Form.
Please provide pointers in this regard.
Thanks,
Sandhya

Tim, a change like this is really simple.
Formcalc and javascript are pretty similar - when I started developing AIF a year ago, I knew nothing about either of them... not that I know a whole lot now...
The Help in Livecycle designer is actually quite helpful when it comes to scripting. Also, there's a google group you can join where you can email questions for help.
You would just call the form like you normall do. The code is placed INSIDE your form "under" your field. There is a script editor built in to Adobe - Click Pallettes -> Script Editor to see it.
there are many events on which to place code - you will need to find an event that triggers early - such as Form:Ready etc...
Here's an example I have with 2 radiobuttons and a text box. If my 'yes' radiobutton is chosen, I make my input box visible
if ( yes.rawValue eq "1" ) then
data.Page2.grp2.func.rb.ifyes.presence = "visible"
endif
Same concept if my 'No' button is chosen
if ( no.rawValue eq "2" ) then
data.Page2.grp2.func.rb.ifyes.presence = "hidden"
endif
Both of these scripts are in the "click" event of the radiobutton.
Lastly, here's a link to a great resource on Scripting
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/lc_designer_scripting_basics/lc_designer_scripting_basics.pdf
Scripting, on a moderate to small scale, will make your life a bit easier. Don't try to do too much, otherwise you'll find AIF may be the wrong tool for what you're trying to do.

Insert/Embedding PDF documents to SAP Adobe forms

I would think the common sense approach would be to upgrade to ECC 6 first then migrate your forms.
This seems to be just another step in the upgrade process.
We went from 4.7 to ECC 6, but only had Smartforms and SAPScripts. We wound up just re-creating the forms directly in Adobe.

IMac. Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.3.1. Since I installed Yosemite, cannot insert a pdf document into a pdf document. What's my upgrade?

I have an iMac with Yosemite. I have Adobe Acrobat Pro van 8.3.1.
I am unable to insert a pdf document into a pdf document. I go to Document/Insert in the menu bar, get a spinning ball, can do nothing with the app except force-quit.
What's my upgrade? I cannot find one. Do I have to pay full price for a version that will work?

Your version of Acrobat is quite old and not compatible with any current OS, so problems are to be expected. It is too old to qualify for an upgrade as well, so if you want the current version (XI) then you need to purchase a new license, which you can do via the Adobe Products Page.

IWeb • How Do I Make Links in an Embedded PDF Document Open in New Page?

On this page http://ostyn-newman.com/Gov_Downloads.html I have a PDF document that is embedded. I tried an IFrame, but everything seemed to work better for me with the "Embed" code. I am open to changing this if it would be better. Here's my problem. I can get the PDF document to display fine, but when I click on the links in the PDF document, the destination page opens in the embedded window. I want the links to open the destination in a new window.
I created the part of the document with most of the links (Pages 8.5 - 56) in Numbers and cut and pasted the table into a Pages document to create the completed document on our site. I exported the docuemnt from Pages as a PDF file which is what you see. There is also a link to download the file on the same page which works just fine.
I have tried to insert the target="_blank" code but have not been able to get it to open the destination pages in a new window. I am inserting the code by using the Insert/Widget/HTML Snippet Feature in IWeb. Here is the code I am using.

border-style:solid;"
scrolling="auto" >
</embed>
I am not a coder and have just used Google to find the code to cut and paste and have played around with it to get to the place I am. If anybody can tweak the code I have or offer some totally new code for me to insert that will get this to work would be greatly appreciated.
Please keep in mind that most of the people who visit and use this page are government employees and are almost exclusivey using Explorer.

Thank you Jeff,
I tried your original suggestion and now my inserted html widget reads

It is live on my site. You can see that the embedded document still opens the destination links in the embedded window.
As for your other two suggestions, thank you as well. I am aware of those techniques and did not use them because that is not how I want the other PDF links on the page to behave. The catalog and autocad blocks downloads in the box at the top should simply download (or behave however the client's browser is configured to handle downloaded PDF documents or zip files.) I don't intend to force those to open a new window. I could also have our client click on a link to the PDF document and open it in a new page (like in your second suggestion) but I was hoping to embed the PDF and have it automatically viewable on our Download • Terms • Prices Page with all of the PDF search functions intact as well as the links be active. My only complaint at this point is that the links in the embedded PDF document open the destination page in the embed window instead of a new window. I only want to force a new window because the destination window doesn't behave properly when it opens in my embed window and it is difficult to figure out how to go back to the my PDF document when a destination window gets opened in the embed window. The code you sent didn't do the trick. Or maybe I didn't get it exactly right. That is why I included it above. Thanks for trying though. I appreciate the effort.
I would be willing to bypass the imbed/iFrame route altogether if I could just somehow drop the Pages document into the IWeb page and retain the search and link features, but I've not been able to figure out how to do that. When I was exploring how to directly drop a Pages document into an IWeb page is when I stumbled on the method of embedding a PDF document into an IWeb page to retain the important search and link features.

Can I open embedded PDF documents in a PDF file on an iPad or Android?

Not sure if first post got through, the forum required me to change password ...
So I'm trying to open embedded PDF documents in a "parent" PDF document on an iPad.
On a PC the file opens fine.
On an iPad 2 with Adobe's Reader the same file says it's corrupted.
On PDF Pro the file opens, I can see the listing of embedded PDF documents but when I click on them nothing happens.
Is there a way for a PDF file with embedded hyperlinked PDF documents to be displayed on an iPad or Android?

pages on the iOS has access only to the camera roll to embedd pictures , but no external files.
Content from other documents like pdf can be copied and pasted by using Adobe Reader for iOS or the iBooks.app, open the pdf , copy text , then go to pages.app and paste text into the document there.

Copying text in a text callout (to paste into a text callout in another pdf document (3 instances of Adobe open) sometimes (only sometimes) causes the program to crash, losing unsaved work. Windows Task Manager shows only a small percentage of cpu used and plenty of memory available. What is causing this?

This usually occurs if you use a browser that uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

How to insert a PDF document into a Word file?

I'm using Acrobat Standard 9 and Microsoft Word 2010 and I'm unable to insert a PDF document into a Word file. Operating system is Windows 7 Enterprize. Can someone help?

Thanks for the reply, Bill.
Yes, let me elaborate further:
I have a four page document in WORD with instructions. Examples of the instructions are in PDF files. I want to insert each PDF example next to or below each line item in WORD.The PDF will open when clicking on the icon without having a hyperlink attached to it.

Using 10.6.8, internet pdf documents not opening using Adobe Reader; how is this corrected?

Using 10.6.8, internet pdf documents not opening using Adobe Reader; how is this corrected? I've tried changing "sharing and permissions" to "read and write" as suggested on other help sites, but this did not correct the problem.

I had the same problem---contacted Adobe and their service rep helped me by
A.   Deleting Adobe Reader from my iMac's Applications in Finder
B.   Downloading Google Chrome browser and then
C.   Downloading the latest Adobe Reader for Mac 10.6.8 in Google Chrome--it works
Adobe acknowledges problem with the latest Snow Leopard update 10.6.8 and with this work around, I can open PDF's using the Google Chrome Browser.
Is this the ideal solution---NO. Safari is my main browser. I now have to use a separate browser for PDF's.
Am I happy to be able to open PDF's---YES
You can't believe the time I spent to solve this problem before calling Adobe for help. My Apple Care policy expired a month ago . As I use Photoshop Elements, I was not charged by Adobe for their help on the telephone.

Is it allowed to convert pdf documents into rtf using Adobe SDK

Hello
Can I convert pdf document into rtf using Adobe SDK?
Is available this functionality on c# code? Which assemblies i can use for it?

which is why it has to be on the desktop and not a server.
I didn't quite understand your statement. Could you, please, explain, why I can't use it only on the desktop and not a server? And, could you provide documentation, where I can find information about converting documents using c#?

Fonts installation SAP Adobe forms

We need to install following fonts in the SAP Adobe Forms landscape.
Question is are the following fonts available with Adobe :
Helvetica Neue Light (Standard/Bold/Italic)
Superior Title Black (Standard/Bold/Italic)
Universe 45 Light (Standard/Bold/Italic)
The fonts need to be in .TTF format
Where can I find the steps to install the fonts into SAP.

I don't really understand what you mean by "available with Adobe". First let's clarify the product: I'm guessing Adobe Reader, but perhaps Adobe Acrobat. (Adobe are the company, they have dozens of modules). However, it isn't clear in what way any Adobe product integrates with SAP, as opposed to displaying content generated by SAP.
If by "available" you mean "included", NO. There are hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of fonts. Only fonts needed for correct operation are included. But
1. PDF files can "embed" fonts. This is strongly recommended because then the font is not needed by the end user. Perhaps you are asking about embedding rather than displaying?
2. Fonts are not installed "into" Adobe software; no idea about installing fonts into SAP. That's not our department. Adobe software and perhaps SAP just pick up the fonts installed in the system in the usual way.
Many companies make fonts, and many companies sell the same fonts. You need to verify the license on the font (fonts have licenses like software) allow your intended use. If you want to distribute fonts to your end users you will need a special license indeed. You can start with Adobe's font shop: Buy, download fonts | Adobe Type

Vb script to get fields name of SAP adobe forms

hi
is there any way to get and set fields of SAP adobe forms embedded in SAP portal

I think when I tried to process each PC name from text file against registry key value, above code not working. As per my knowledge some issue in loop. Do I need to add FOR EACH feature?
Please help to correct it. Thanks in advance.
Your code contains numerous errors. Furthermore you make things difficult for yourself by giving similar names to the objects used for your input and output. If you are a systems administrator then your best bet is to make an effort to learn the language
instead of grabbing a few code fragments from here and there and hoping that somehow they will work.
Try the cleaned up code below for this particular project. Note the consistent code indentation. It helps you enormously when trying to understand the structure of the code. Remember also that you must fully qualify all file paths. Writing to "Destination.txt"
will cause endless confusion because you never know for sure where this file will reside.
Const HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
sKeyPath = "Environment"
sValueName = "LSFORCEHOST"
sFile = "D:\Test.txt"
If oFSO.FileExists(sFile) Then
Set oInput = oFSO.OpenTextFile(sFile, 1)
Do While Not oInput.AtEndOfStream
sComputer = oInput.ReadLine
If Trim(sComputer) <> "" Then
Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _
& sComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
oReg.GetStringValue HKEY_CURRENT_USER,sKeyPath,sValueName,sValue
Set oOutput = oFSO.OpenTextFile("D:\destination.txt",8, True)
oOutput.WriteLine sValue
oOutput.Close
End If
Loop
oInput.Close
End If

How do I get a PDF document put into an attachment form that I can drag to an e-mail. Usually I get an icon showing an spiral note book which then becomes an attachment when I drag it to the e-mail, but occasionally it stays in PDF and prints out on the e-mail. What have I done differently?

Thanks again for the detailed instructions Srini!
And I really hate to be a pest . . . but . . .
Using your example and not modifying it, I get the e-mail form filled out correctly and the pdf attached, however, I'm not prompted to sign it.
Any more clues?
