Hi Shital,
If you dont want to use a program to attach file, please see the blog:

Or, you can refer FP_PDF_TEST_16 program in SAP.

Using Adobe Interactive Form - Attach The Static PDF.

Dear Experts,

Any help will greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Solved my self, converted PDF into image and used that pdf as a static image in Adobe Interactive Form.

Extract interactive form attachment from workflow workitem

Hi Friends,
I created a Webdynpro Java application which has an interactive form.
The user fills out the form, and submits.
The submission action triggers a simple workflow and adds the interactive form as an attachment to the workitem. (Using SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW and SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD)
The new task shows up in UWL with the attached pdf form.
When user clicks the on the task in UWL, I want to launch another web dynpro application which will read the workitem id and get and display the interactive form in the web dynpro java application.
How do I extract the interactive pdf form from workflow in binary format?
so that I can display the form in my Web dynpro java application and bind it to the pdfSource context??

I thought I could just call the SAP_WAPI_GET_ATTACHMENTS, however this only returns some docId information for example:
OBJECT_ID DESCRIPT SHORTTEXT
SOFM FOL18 4 EXT34000000000023 Office Document Office Document
I need to get the binary for this pdf interactive form.

Saving Adobe Interactive Form

I have a web dynpro application opens an interactive form and once a user fills it out it creates an activity on the crm backend. That works fine.
What I'd like to do is take the adobe form and attach it to the newly created activity. I am able to attach other documents to the activity, but not the .pdf from the interactive form.
The method I use to attach documents takes a context element called pdfObject and passes it to the backend as a byte arry. The problem is, only some data is coming thru.
I'm thinking that it might only be passing the data or the form template, but not both in a .pdf format.
Anyway, if anyone knows of a way to take a interative form and get it into a byte array, please help.
Thanks,
Tom

Markus,
   You are correct the pdfObject is the binary context that is assigned to the pdfSource property. The form works great for filling out and calling the ABAP rfc. The problem is that I tried saving the pdfObject element, in the web dynpro application, to file and it does not save in a readable pdf format. If I go into the form manually and save it as a pdf it works ok. I also compared the size of the pdfObject and the saved pdf and the saved pdf is much bigger. This leads me to believe that the binary stored in pdfObject is not a pdf, but maybe the data from the pdf.
   I guess the question really is, What is pdfSource holding? Is it the data less the template,all the pdf data...
    Anyway, I image someone has tried to save an interactive form to file via web dynpro. Let me know if you have any hints for me, or have tried something similar.
Regards,
I guess the context element pdfObject is the value you assigned to the pdfSource property of the InteractiveForm UI element. And you probably also made it of a 'binary' type in the Context. Can you please check this?

Offline Interactive forms

Hi Gurus,
My scenario is when the customer send mail attachment with Sales order PDF document. The vendor should download that pdf forms. In that pdf forms we have an submit and cancel button. Once i submit that button that data should store in the database table. Here i am not using webdynpro. So,please give me idea how can we do this and how can i hardcode this.
Thanks
Kevin mike

on send button define a event which submits the form to a predefined email address, using transaction 'scot' configure the inbound processing.
create a class and implement the interface 'IF_INBOUND_EXIT_BCS'
now under the method tab of your class you will find the following two methods.
IF_INBOUND_EXIT_BCS~CREATE_INSTANCE
IF_INBOUND_EXIT_BCS~PROCESS_INBOUND
create a attribute named 'instance' make it as static and private and should be of the type same as your class name.
in 'create instance' method write the following code:
IF instance IS INITIAL.
    CREATE OBJECT instance.
ENDIF.
Return the instance.
ro_ref = instance.
in 'PROCESS_INBOUND' method write the following code:
Get the email document that was sent.
DATA: document TYPE REF TO if_document_bcs.
document = io_sreq->get_document( ).
Get the interactive form attachment.
DATA: pdf_table TYPE bcss_dbpc.
pdf_table = document->get_body_part_content( 2 ).
Convert the pdf table into an xstring.
DATA: pdf_xstring TYPE xstring,
pdf_line TYPE solix.
CLEAR pdf_xstring.
LOOP AT pdf_table-cont_hex INTO pdf_line.
    CONCATENATE pdf_xstring pdf_line-line INTO pdf_xstring
    IN BYTE MODE.
ENDLOOP.
Get a reference to the form processing class.
DATA: l_fp TYPE REF TO if_fp.
l_fp = cl_fp=>get_reference( ).
Get a reference to the PDF Object class.
DATA: l_pdfobj TYPE REF TO if_fp_pdf_object.
l_pdfobj = l_fp->create_pdf_object( ).
Set the pdf in the PDF Object.
l_pdfobj->set_document( pdfdata = pdf_xstring ).
Set the PDF Object to extract data the Form data.
l_pdfobj->set_extractdata( ).
Execute call to ADS
l_pdfobj->execute( ).
Get the PDF Form data.
DATA: pdf_form_data TYPE xstring.
l_pdfobj->get_data( IMPORTING formdata = pdf_form_data ).
Convert the xstring form data to string so it can be
processed using the iXML classes.
DATA: converter TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_in_ce.
converter = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create( input = pdf_form_data ).
DATA: formxml TYPE string.
converter->read( IMPORTING data = formxml ).
CALL FUNCTION 'ECATT_CONV_XSTRING_TO_STRING'
    EXPORTING
      im_xstring = pdf_form_data
    IMPORTING
      ex_string = formxml.
TYPE-POOLS: ixml.
Get a reference to iXML object.
DATA: l_ixml TYPE REF TO if_ixml.
l_ixml = cl_ixml=>create( ).
Get iStream object from StreamFactory
DATA: streamfactory TYPE REF TO if_ixml_stream_factory.
DATA: istream TYPE REF TO if_ixml_istream.
streamfactory = l_ixml->create_stream_factory( ).
istream = streamfactory->create_istream_string( formxml ).
Create an XML Document class that will be used to process the XML
DATA: document TYPE REF TO if_ixml_document.
document1 = l_ixml->create_document( ).
Create the Parser class
DATA: parser TYPE REF TO if_ixml_parser.
parser = l_ixml->create_parser( stream_factory = streamfactory
                                  istream = istream
                                  document = document ).
parser->parse( ).
data: node type ref to if_ixml_node.
data: strChecked type string.
*getting form values
node = document->find_from_name( name = 'RESERVED'
strChecked = node->get_value( ).
this is how you can get the data into internal table
and eventually save it into you system.
configuring 'SCOT'
configure the inbound processing
put the name of your class and the default email address, this will do you job.

Suhail Khan

How can user attach file to interactive form, and be read by abap program?

Hello,
I created an abap interactive form, sent to the user, then user fills out the form fields, then it is uploaded back to sap, then my program reads this data and process it.
It works.
Now I want users to be able to attach any file they want, and the abap program to extract this file out of the PDF, to put it into SAP (or anywhere).
I succeeded in attaching a file, I can "see" it via function module get_annotations, but I get the file in compressed form by Adobe (filter="FlateDecode").
Do you know how to unzip the file, or is there another way to attach files in adobe reader/extract them via abap?
I use acrobat reader 8.1.2
Thx a lot!
sandra
Below is the xml obtained by GET_ANNOTATIONS. We see that there are other text annotations, and that the attached file has {length="98005"}, though real file (before "attach file" to the PDF, and also after "detach file") has length 111 995 bytes. It's why I deduced that there is a compression (I also tried to extract it as-is and open it with adobe but it doesn't work.

Hello everybody,
I am sure you have an answer to my question above. It was :
how is it possible for a user to ATTACH files to a PDF interactive form, and then be able to READ them via a program ? (I guess the solution to read them via ABAP or JAVA is quite the same?)
Thx a lot !

How to remove attached files from an interactive Form?

Hi,
is it possible to delete all the attached files from an interactive form?
I'm able to extract all the files and store them separately. But I found no way to store the interactive form without attachments.
There is a method called SET_ATTACHMENTS, but transferring an empty table is not allowed.
What should I do?
Code:
*     Create PDF Object.      lo_pdfobj = lo_fp->create_pdf_object( connection = l_dest ).
*     Set document.      lo_pdfobj->set_document( pdfdata = iv_filecontent ).
*     Set task to get attachments.      lo_pdfobj->set_task_getattachments( ).
*     Execute, call ADS.      lo_pdfobj->execute( ).
*     Get result.      et_attachments = lo_pdfobj->get_attachments( ).
Regards,
Mario

Does any body come across with this requirement? How we make Adobe Interactive Form as an attachment ?
Many thanks

Hi,
i have the same requirement. But im not able to solve this problem by the link, which is posted. I also used the search function, but no results.
I know how to send the Interactive Form via email, and it works nice, but how can i create an object out of the Interactive Form and pass it to a workflow container?
Im using FM SO_OBJECT_INSERT but there is something wrong with the conversion, everytime i try to open the attachment i get a error message that the file is broken.
Any suggestions how to solve it?

How to read attachment from adobe interactive form

Hi,
My requirement is- vendor should fill all the detail in an offline interactive form and attach necessary documents in the form itself. How can i read the attachments from the form inside my program and how can i store it in SAP. I am using FM ' SMUM_XML_PARSE' to read all the data in the form.

mailForm
Parameters: bUI, cTo, [cCc], [cBcc], [cSubject], [cMsgBody]
Returns: nothing
This method exports the form data and mails the resulting FDF file as an attachment to all recipients,
with or without user interaction depending on the value of bUI.
If it is set to true then the rest of the parameters are used to seed the compose new message window that is displayed to the user.
If bUI is set to false, the cTo parameter is required and all others are optional.
You must use a semicolon u201C;u201D to separate multiple recipients in cTo, cCc, cBcc parameters.
The length limit for cSubject and cMsgBody is 64k bytes.
Example:
/* This will pop up the compose new message window */
this.mailForm(true);
/* This will send out the mail with the attached FDF file to fun1 @ fun . com and fun2 @ fun . com */
this.mailForm(false, "fun1 @ fun . com; fun2 @ fun . com", "", "", "This is the subject", "This is the body of the mail.");
Note:
This is a Windows-only feature. In addition, the client machine must have its
default mail program configured to be MAPI enabled in order to use this method.
I had to change the code:
instead of this.mailDoc :
var myDoc = event.target;
myDoc.mailDoc(false, "fun1 @ fun . com; fun2 @ fun . com", "", "", "This is the subject", "This is the body of the mail." );
But the outlook new message window still opens...
Any Idea's?

WD Java - removing attachment from interactive form

Hi developers,
I am working on Interactive Form by Adobe for WD JAVA.
Can anyone please explain how to REMOVE attachments from a PDF document?
I have only found way to attach items or lists of items.
Thanks, regards

Hi,
For attaching and removing the File form the form using Adobe Java Script
var sFile;
// Assign an Unique Value to sFile if you are attaching multiple files.
event.target.importDataObject(sFile);
oFile = event.target.getDataObject(sFile);
var pFile = event.target.getDataObjectContents(sFile);
var cFile = util.stringFromStream(pFile, "utf-16");
For the removing the attachments form the form
var sFile;
var myDoc = event.target;
myDoc.removeDataObject(sFile);

Attach files to the adobe form : offline

Hi all,
NW04S
SPS8
We have the above mentioned.
My requirement is to create an interactive form, that should have the ability to attach files offline. This means that the user of the form will have no access to the SAP system and should be able to attach supporting documents with the help of the adobe form itself, only.
How can this be done?
Is there any solution available to this or we still have to wait for forthcoming support packages?
Regards.
Ali

In Web Dynpro for Java, this function will be available with SPS 10, on the ABAP side it will probably not be available before SPS 12.
For SPS schedules of SAP NetWeaver, go to <a href="http://service.sap.com/ocs-schedules">http://service.sap.com/ocs-schedules</a> > Basis, ABA, R/3 Support Package Schedule

Hi,
From your description, I would like to clarify the following thing:
There are some types of message size limits and several scope of limits. Please check the message size limits and attachment size limits in your organization, connector, server and user.
For more information, here is a helpful thread for your reference:

Sending java web dynpro interactive form as pdf attachment from Business WF

Hi,
I have a java web dynpro application with interactive form(online), on send button click i need to send the filled form as an PDF attchment to internet mail id. I am using SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 inside workflow to send attachment. My custom RFC which is interacting with WD app is getting the pdf source context attribute(simply i set the import parameter with that attribute and no juggling is done) as import parameter which is of type XTSRING. Once i execute the application i am getting mail with attachment as pdf but i am not able to open the pdf. It is of just 1 KB size. It seems my pdf source context attribute is not sending data. Can some one suggest how can i solve this.DO i need to convert the data to pdf format before sending or any otgher thing i need to do.
Regards
Ravindra

I did that before posting the question itself (enables = false), it doesn't work. It just disable the extra features like digital signature and stuff. Interesting thing is all our HCM forms developed for HR actions works fine with out any issues. Why the interactive form developed with WDJ is not working and it requires credentials??. The same form works fine if I deploy the application directly into server but it throws the error if I check in through NWDI ..
If you look at the server location it has the file but it throws the error:
Caused by: com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.base.core.PDFDocumentRuntimeException: IOException occured while creating template stream from the TemplateSource : .\temp\webdynpro\public\sap.com\ess~ben\webdynpro\Components\com.sap.xss.hr.ben.reviewtable.VcBenefitsReviewTable\ReviewTableView_InteractiveForm_Review.xdp (The system cannot find the file specified)
Please advise.
Thank You,
Hari.
