Hi,
In general my application is as following with tow Views:
1- After the use enter the search criteria in View1 and click Preview Button.
2- View2 open PDF file.
3- In View2 I have a Interactive form to open PDF.
My Issues are:
1- After I go and run the application with new search criteria it give me same results(I already did search in SDN but not helpfull the found Threads.)?
2- How i can go back to my selection Screen from view2 ?
3- Is it possible to insert Interactive form with a selection screen and how?

1- After I go and run the application with new search criteria it give me same results*(I already did search in SDN but not helpfull the found Threads.)*?
2- How i can go back to my selection Screen from view2 ?
This is possible you have to fire view1 outbond plug, as same as how did you got view2 from your selection screen view1 (same way you can go back to view1 also).
3- Is it possible to insert Interactive form with a selection screen and how?
It is possible to take a selection screen and interactive form both are on same view.
as for as i know there will be no issue.
Thanks,

GP adobe interactive form issue

GP adobe interactive form issue
Hello All ,
My scenario :
I need to create three forms
namely 1). Initiation (1)
2). Sanction forms (2).
When I create an interactive form to accept the initiation form details & submit the data to the next form that is sanction form , I am not able to process to the next form . why is it so ?
basically I need to move from one action to another with two different forms.

Hi,
Check if you have saved and activated your interactive form callable object.
Are you using this document:

Date Format Issue with Interactive Form

Hi, here is the scenario:
-We just upgraded to SP17 from SP15
-I'm using Livecycle Designer 8.0
When we were on SP15, this was not an issue. I was wondering if anyone encountered this problem and if so, if there is a workaround?
I create an interactive form to start a guided procedure process. Im passing the data from my desktop Interactive form to another callable object in GP to send an email with the PDF attached. This all works correclty.
My date/time fields are set to type DATE with a display pattern of YYYY-MM-DD. When I create the form in the GP administrator to my desktop and open the PDF, the date format is correct. However, when I submit the form to start the process, the incomming date fields to be mapped to my second Callable Object have change in format from "2009-02-18" to "Wed Feb 18 00:00:00 EST 2009".
This is true in the new form I receive via email, and also in NWA->monitoring->guided procedures when I check the instances. The input mapping is already set to the false formatting.
When I open the form from the second callable object with the incorrect date format (in designer), the date's display patterns are set to YYYY-MM-DD but are not being displayed as such.
New discovery....I tried to create a Business Logic callable object and format the date. I created a string input and date output and mapped them accordingly. When I perform a "TEST" from the design time and use the input "Wed Feb 18 00:00:00 EST 2009", the string is automatically converted to 18/02/2009 in the output, which is what I want to occur. The only problem is when I run the actual process, the same "Wed Feb 18 00:00:00 EST 2009" is being output instead of the 18/02/2009 in the TEST.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

This test program might help...
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
public class ExpandYear
    public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException
     SimpleDateFormat sdf_2dyear = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy");
     SimpleDateFormat sdf_4dyear = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
     String test1 = "3/21/00";
     System.out.println("test1: " + test1 + " to : " +
                  sdf_4dyear.format(sdf_2dyear.parse(test1)));
     String test2 = "4/9/99";
     System.out.println("test2: " + test2 + " to : " +
                  sdf_4dyear.format(sdf_2dyear.parse(test2)));

Dropdown issue in offline Interactive Form

Hi,
Form is created using XML schema interface.. When looked at "PDF Preview" drop down field works fine and shows all possible values.
I am using ABAP to generate the interactive form. In the function module call, I have set Fillable = 'X' and also Dynamic = 'X' for docparams.
When I run the program and create the form, I just see one (first) value populated in the drop-down field, but the field does not show any drop-down to choose other values from..
since it works fine in PDF preview, I am assuming, the problem is not with the form, but something to do with the calling program.
any inputs?
Thanks.

Hi,
I am using dynamic forms.. it works fine in PDF preview.. in calling ABAP program i have set Fillable = X and dynamic = X as well. Do you think the issue is with this script? If something was wrong here, then it should not work properly in "PDF Preview" as well.. but it works fine there.. I think, it has something to do with form being "dynamic" in nature..
I found something interesting.. if I add a simple app.alert statement anywhere in this script, drop-down works just fine.. My thinking is, by adding this statement I am making the form dynamic / interactive.. since user has to click on "OK" to close the dialog box. so original issue could be in saving the form as dynamic itself.
I am using "Initialize" event of drop down list with following script:
var boothString = "kitForms.booth";
var boothItem = xfa.datasets.data.resolveNode(boothString );
if (boothItem == null){
this.presence = "invisible";
hiddenBooth.presence = "visible";
else {
   try{
          var boothItemValue = boothItem.nodes.item(0).value;
          var tempString = "kitForms.booth.boothNo" + boothItemValue;
          var oItems = xfa.datasets.data.resolveNode(tempString);
          if (oItems != null){
               var nItemsLength = oItems.nodes.length;
               boothW.rawValue = oItems.nodes.item(0).value;
               boothD.rawValue = oItems.nodes.item(1).value;
               var nItemsLength = boothItem.nodes.length;
               this.rawValue = boothItemValue;
     catch (e){
        this.presence = "invisible";
        hiddenBooth.presence = "visible";
Data XML looks like this:
- <booth>
<item>456</item>
- <boothNo456>
<itemW>10.0</itemW>
<itemD>8.0</itemD>
</boothNo456>
<item>123</item>
- <boothNo123>
<itemW>10.0</itemW>
<itemD>23.0</itemD>
</boothNo123>
</booth>

Heavy performance issues using Adobe Interactive Form PDFs generated by SAP BPM

Dear experts,
we use Adobe Interactive Form PDFs (generated with LiveCycle Designer) as Human Tasks within SAP BPM processes. The PDFs are generated and transmitted correctly, but when they are opened at the receivers PC, Windows freezes for 2-3 minutes, then the PDF opens and can be filled out and sent back. The next PDFs can be opened much faster, but when the PC is restarted, we get the same problem again. We use Adobe Reader XI (11.0.2) on our clients; is their any know performance issue?
Please note, that we have this problem with EVERY Adobe Interactive Form PDF... I created a simple PDF containing just a field and the client PC still freezes. So it can't be in the form or the scripting. Normal static PDFs can be opend without any problems.
Best regards,
David

They haven't really announced it, because there is no product to announce. Rather the opposite.
There are no conversion tools, so far as I know.
XFA forms are a non-starter if you want portability.
AcroForms are a nightmare in themselves, because the functionality is limited in Adobe Reader and varies between absent and weird in other products. No idea about Blackberry support.
You will not find a simple recommendation. Rather, you need to use Acroforms and carefully test everything (EVERYTHING: no assumptions) on every platform you intend to support.
Yes, rather unsatisfactory, but until Adobe realise that the future is platform equivalence or irrelevance, this is where we are.

Issues in creating Interactive Form UI element at runtime.

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement according to which i need to create multiple PDF forms at runtime.This i need to do using webdynpro Java.
The approach that i would be using is creating interactive form U I element at runtime.
So in a test application in views wdDoModifyView i added the below code i.e.
In the do modify view i have added the below piece of code
if (!firstTime)
               IWDNodeInfo l_sel_nodeInfo =
                    wdContext.nodeCtx_vn_binary().getNodeInfo();
               IWDAttributeInfo l_attrInfo =
                    l_sel_nodeInfo.getAttribute(
                         IPrivateAdobeView1.ICtx_vn_binaryElement.CTX__VA__BINARY);
               if (view.getElement("adobeFrm") == null) {
                    IWDTransparentContainer container =
                         (IWDTransparentContainer) view.getElement(
                              "RootUIElementContainer");
                    IWDInteractiveForm adobeFrm =
                         (IWDInteractiveForm) view.createElement(
                              IWDInteractiveForm.class,
                              "adobeFrm");
                    adobeFrm.bindDataSource(
                         wdContext.nodeCtx_vn_adobe().getNodeInfo());
                    adobeFrm.setMode(WDInteractiveFormMode.UPDATE_DATA_IN_PDF);
                    adobeFrm.setTemplateSource("AdobeView1_InteractiveForm.xdp");
                    adobeFrm.setDisplayType(WDInteractiveFormDisplayType.NATIVE);
                    adobeFrm.bindPdfSource(l_attrInfo);
                    adobeFrm.setVisible(WDVisibility.VISIBLE);
                    container.addChild(adobeFrm);
                    adobeFrm.setTemplateSource("AdobeView1_InteractiveForm.xdp");
But now i am stuck at this point as its giving me null pointer exception on execution.
Could some one provide me links to the tutorials which contains dynamic creation of Interactive form UI element.
I do have links which show creation of input fields at run time but couldn't get any on creation of Interactive Form UI element at runtime (dynamically).
Thanks in advance!!!

Hello Dan,
About the license issue, take a look at the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/interactiveforms">Adobe Interactive forms section on SDN</a> on the right side there is a FAQ. In the FAQ there is something mentioned about license.
When you are using NWDS04s the Adobe Document Service (ADS) is already installed. You only need to configure the ADS. Take a look at <a href="http://service.sap.com/adobe">http://service.sap.com/adobe</a> on the left click on "Media Library" --> "Documentation".
When you want to make use of Adobe Interactive forms you need a Adobe Reader 7.x.x or higher.
Hope it helps.
Kind regards,
Maarten.

I' am facing the following problem with the adobe interactive forms. After the successfull completion of 6 to 7 round trips,
the form is hanging next time. Let me know if you people have faced the same issue and what was done.

Ther problem is only happening to two forms which are more than 200Kbytes. Is there any size
restriction for the adobe forms developed. if yes, please let me know.

Adobe Document Server issues - cannot save metadata of interactive form UI

Summary : Could not save meta data of Interactive Form UI Element.
Affects : Web Dynpro project in DTR.
Severity: PDF template cannot be created.
Description:
01. An Interactive Form UI Element is inserted into a Web Dynpro view.
02. By right clicking on the element in the Outline window and selecting Edit, launches the Adobe Designer.
03. After designing the PDF template in Adobe Designer, when clicking Save All Metadata icon in the toolbar, it failed to save.
04. By closing and reopening the Adobe Designer, all work on the PDF template is lost.
Findings:
01. Whenever an Interactive Form UI Element is created in a Web Dynpro project in DTR, its associated value of templateSource property (in the Property window) is missing (empty).
02. This does not happen to local Web Dynpro project, where its templateSource property corresponds to an .xdp file (Adobe XML source file).
Does anyone know any way around this?

Hi All
well, I am facing the problem as well: When I change something in the interactive form, I cannot save it as "Save Metadata" remains grey. After closing and reopening, my changes have disappeared. I am using Netweaver 2004s with SPS 13. I tried Note 822198 which didn't help. Also I couldn't apply Josef's solution as the mentioned folder already existed.
I must say that I didn't have problems with adobe forms until I started using model nodes. Could this be the reason why there are suddenly issues? Now I can't even create a totally new webdynpro component (inside my project) from scratch where adobe interactive form is not corrupted.
Is there any other trick which might have worked with you? It would be very helpful if you had any ideas!
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards
Bettina Hepp

PDF interactive form font issue

When I export my InDesign doc to a pdf interactive form, some of my fonts get bolded. This does not occur when saving as a pdf print doc. How do I create an interactive pdf without the text becoming bolded?

The bolded text appears show up only on text-only pages. The text on pages with tables and images remain unbolded. Any ideas why this may be happening?

Interactive form - WD java issue!!

hi all
I have an interactive form where in the user fills in a costcenter number and clicks on a button inside the form. It hits the backend and fetches the data via an RFC. I have to show the data in the same form in the same page. However when i do it i dont see the data back in the form. But I see I have brought the data to webdynpro runtime ( i added a table to the view to see the RFC return which shows the data.). Is it due to a script error? The PDF doesnt seem to refresh too. What could be the reasons that lead to such problems and what is the solution?
regards
Lakshminarayanan.V

Hi.
Do you have the Interactive Form's property 'mode' set to'updateDataInPdf'?

ADOBE Interactive Form not getting displayed in Browse

Hi,
Currently I am working on EhP4 project on ECC 6.0 environment. For HCM, We have interactive ADOBE forms for MSS. While testing we found that all buttons are displayed in a browser (we are are window 7 IE 8 ) but interactive form is not getting displayed in the browser (Fill out Form as part of MSS). It only displays a line
Checked ADS configuration as per oss note and works ok. Did HTTPWATCH - browser is getting (GET) the Adobe forms with values but not displaying it. If I copy URL from HTTPWATCH GET line in a separate browser window it displays the form.
Thanks in advance your help.
Regards
Jitendra Pongurlekar

Hey Chris (and others),
We were having this same problem, and this Note fixed the issue (thanks!). However, we are still experiencing another issue with HCM Processes and Forms under EhP4. Before this Note, it took about ten minutes before "single line display" would show up. Now after the Note, we get the full form, but it still takes ten solid minutes of waiting before it appears in the window. We're pretty sure it's not a Portal issue, nor an ADS issue, but something with the web dynpros on the ABAP side. However, we have not yet been able to resolve it. Anyone else run into this performance problem with HCMP&F after upgrading to EhP4? We don't have the problem with EhP3.
Best regards,
Matt

No such method error when launching the Interactive form

Hi Experts,
I have developed a simeple Java Webdynpro application and added an Interactive form without any controls in it. Created the context with one value node and a binary value attribute.
I have assigned value node to datasource and binary attribute to pdfSource. When I launch the application I am getting the following no such method error.
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com/sap/tc/webdynpro/clientserver/uielib/adobe/api/IWDInteractiveForm.setTemplateSource(Ljava/lang/String;)V
The currently executed application, or one of the components it depends on, has been compiled against class file versions that are different from the ones that are available at runtime.
If the exception message indicates, that the modified class is part of the Web Dynpro Runtime (package com.sap.tc.webdynpro.*) then the running Web Dynpro Runtime is of a version that is not compatible with the Web Dynpro Designtime (Developer Studio or Component Build Server) which has been used to build + compile the application.
My NWDS is of Version 7.0.06
and J2EE Engine is of Version 6.40.
any guess why I am getting this error.
Thanks
Chinna.

Issue solved. Compatablility issue NWDS 2.0 Version should use for NW 2004.
