Instantiating an Adobe form from Visual Composer

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement, wherein I have to instantiate an adobe form, send it thru email and start a new process when an input form(created in Visual Composer) is submitted. Kindly assist me with this on how to proceed.  Any useful links will be really helpful.
Cheers,
Madhu

Adobe Reader (which is showing you your PDF even inside SAP) has built in function allowing to scale document to the size of paper in the printer. But this is function of Adobe Reader (not the form itself) and can help only if you are ready for some "help" from the user at the time of printing.
If you want to do it directly (without user intervention), than I'm afraid there are no built-in function for page scaling inside PDF. But you can include two master pages of different sizes in the design of your Adobe form and choose one of them during form generation according to your needs. Please have a look at my old post [here|Is it possible to trigger the pages differently; on how to do it.

  • Adobe forms from scratch - Standard programs?

    Hi,
    I have just begun trying to implement Adobe forms from scratch at my company. Previosly we have used an external printing solution so I can't convert anything. My plan is to create a new output medium and let the users select the new type by themself. But I have a couple of questions:
    1. How do I create a new medium (Examples: Print output/Fax/Telex, as found in t-code NACT - Processing routines)
    2. I guess there are SAP standard printing programs, interfaces and forms, but I can't find them. I need to be able to print all the usual docs from orders, deliveries and invoices. All I have in NACT are old home-made (Z*) programs so if you know what SAP think we should use now, please let me know!
    We have ERP6 ehp4 on netweaver 7 ehp1 and I have created one "Adobe form" myself so I can confirm that it works. but I don't want to invent the wheel twice...
    Thanx in advance!

    Hi Linus,
    I was wondering if you had a moment to comment on an opportunity that I am having regarding Adobe forms development efforts?
    If so, please read on:
    Our offshore team has worked on a development effort to replace Smart Forms PO's and Contracts with Adobe forms. They created new output types for these Adobe forms. In testing I noticed that the only way I can get them to print - is if I go into Print Preview and print -or- use SP01 and click on the .pdf icon and print. In both cases it uses Adobe Acrobat to perform the actually printing.
    We cannot seem to get them to print using the normal SAP message utility. Our users would expect to continue to:
    1. Use the Messages button while in the PO document - and select the new output type along with Meduim= Printed Output...
    2. Then they select Further data button - to specify Send Immediately.
    3. Then they use the Communication Method tab and specify the Logical Destination (as LOCL) and click on the Check box for Print immediately.
    They get what appears to be an rambling of Adobe error lines followed by many blank pages....
    At this point I am not sure if the print program is working correctly - or if the problem is with Adobe Document Services?
    Have you ever encountered a situation like this during your Adobe development efforts?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Steve

  • Call XML Schema based Adobe form from ABAP Program

    Hi,
      I have a scenario where an online Interactive form is designed and its working fine. Now i have a requirement to call the same Adobe form from a report for viewing purpose. Since it is XML Schema based Interface, is it possible to call the same form instead of creating a new one with the same template? Because i tried to call the same Adobe form by passing the values and converting those to XML(By Creating Transformation). Then i converted the XML to XSTRING and passed to the Generated Function Module for Input paramter "/1bcdwb/docxml". This resulted in an error "com.adobe.ProcessingException: com.adobe.Processin".
    Please help me out in solving this and check the attachment for code.
    Thanks,

  • Passing a range of dates from Visual Composer 7.0 to Bex Analyzer

    Dear Experts,
             I created a button in my Visual Composer model that has the following settings:
    System action:  Hyperlink
    Apply to:  Self
    Hyperlink address:  "...QUERY=BMMSEG_C01_SAS_Q0001&BI_COMMAND_1-BI_COMMAND_TYPE=SET_SELECTION_STATE&BI_COMMAND_1-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_LIST-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_1=DP_1&BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-CHARACTERISTIC=MBUDAT&BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-SELECTIONS-SELECTION_1-SELECTION_INPUT_STRING=08/22/2006;08/28/2006"
            Basically, what I need is to pass a range of dates from Visual Composer to Bex Analyzer on the characteristic "MBUDAT".  However, it only brings back the data with those specific dates, not the range.  
          I don't think this is the correct syntax to pass in a range value:  08/22/2006;08/28/2006  Please advise how should I do it. 
    Thank you in advance,
    Kevin

    Hi J GOEL,
           Thank you for your quick response.  I created a date range variable ZPSTDAT, and then I passed in the oncatenated value to my Bex query (for this example, let says the From date is 08/22/2006, and the To date is 08/28/2006 ).
          Here's what I passed in into the url:
    ...QUERY= BMMSEG_C01_SAS_Q0001
    &#38;BI_COMMAND_1-BI_COMMAND_TYPE=SET_SELECTION_STATE
    &#38;BI_COMMAND_1-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_LIST-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_1=DP_1
    &#38;BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-CHARACTERISTIC= ZPSTDAT
    &#38;BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-SELECTIONS-SELECTION_1-SELECTION_INPUT_STRING= 08/22/2006:08/28/2006
       However, it returns all the records, so it seems like it doesn't even accept the range value that I passed into the Bex.  Do you mind to please show me the url you have that pass in the date range.  I just need to see the date range part, not the entire url.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • Default email subject for Adobe Form from Netweaver Guided Procedure

    Hi everyone.
    When we generate an Adobe form from a Netweaver Guided Procedure, a default subject of "Interactive Form {xxxxxxxx}" is used where xxxxxxxx is the Process ID of the Guided Procedure.  Is this default subject configurable?  Where can I change it?
    If we define a custom email template for the form,  the subject of the email becomes our custom subject concatenated with the Process ID.  Where is it defined that the Process ID must be included in the email subject?
    Thanks,
    .. Craig

    Hello,
    I have no experience regarding the table of pictures, but you could try a workaround if you don´t insist of displaying the images. You could attach the pictures as attachments (you know, the little attachments icon on the left in your Reader). The ABAP coding for this can be found in SE38 FP_* and when you check the descriptions you should be able to find the one working with the attachments.
    Would be better than nothing I guess,

  • How export data in Excel From Visual Composer

    Hay everybody,
    I would like to export my data result from Visual Composer to Excel. I've tried with an export data buton, but the exported file has a very bad format in Excel.

If anyone knows how I can keep my filters, I would be fine.

  • Call standard adobe form from a WD application

    Hi All,

  • Print / Export form data from Visual Composer

    Hello everybody,
    I want to print data from a visual composer form (export to PDF and print afterwards is another option). I am using CE 7.1 EHP1.
    Is there any tutorial for that?
    I only found this one [Exporting Data|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/VC/Exportingdatafrom+VC]. But this is not the right one for me. Printing from a table is no problem, but I want to print data from several forms.
    How can I export the data to an adobe interactive form?
    Thanks ahead

    Hello Bernd,
    Unfortinatelly, there is no way to Export and Print from the Form View Interactor (This is ALV feature, not VC and they support only the Table Interactor)
    From the VC side, you can add the Button to the Form View Toolbar with the Print Action, but in this case, the whole application will be printed
