Interactive Forms and submit to sap

Hi Everybody!
I'm doing a application using interactive forms and web dynpro. However nothing happens when pushing the Submit to SAP button.I've been watching all foruns about this issue....but the submit to sap button doesn't work.
Could somebody tell me where I can find a read-to-use project that works fine with submit to sap button?
Thanks!! =)
(I'm using WAS 6.40, the Adobe reader 6.0.2, NDS 2.0.11 and the ACF is installed.)

Hi Luiza
some of the interactive Adobe tutorials on the Web Dynpro tutorial page also contain Submit buttons.
Check this page: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/49f2ea90-0201-0010-ce8e-de18b94aee2d#pdf

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 !

SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe with SAP CRM

Hello community,
I'm sure most of you would have seen the exciting videos showcasing the use of SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe with SAP CRM 2007 & SAP CRM 7.0. In case you haven't, you can find a couple of them [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d05bc7e9-0183-2a10-17ab-cf77195fcdec] and [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00fddbc0-e3c9-2b10-05b4-dd1aced4ad12].
What I would like to ask of the community here is to share some of the experiences and feedback regarding the use of SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe with different business processes in SAP CRM, be it order managemnt, activity management or business partner management. Any implementation examples would be great!
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Sandeep

Hi again
I solved the problem by installing the Adobe Designer 7.1.
Now my next problem is that I have no ADS (Adobe Document service).
That makes sense to my Adobe forms newbi brain. My guess is that the ADS must run on the JAVA stack and my testdrive is a ABAP stack only.
My next shot will be to install an JAVA testdrive on top of my ABAP testdrive and see what happens.

Adobe Interactive Forms and Digital Signature

Adobe Interactive Forms and Digital Signature
Hi, I’ve a question if it works to digital sign interactive PDF documents created by an SAP BPM System? So is it possible just to sign the content, and not the interactive components like layout and buttons e.g.?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Tobi

serverside or at the client??

I am trying to use a interactive form and it says "If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document." This is a IRS form and has worked before.

I am trying to use a interactive form and it says "see below" This is a IRS form and has worked before.
is there a tech support phone number?
Please wait...

ABAP WebDynpro, Interactive Form, and Repeating Subforms

Hi Everyone,
I have a very simple Interactive Form called from ABAP WebDynpro.
Main_View Context:
Node u2013 FORM.
     Cardinality 1..1
     Selection 0..1
     Initialization Lead Selection u2013 X
Node u2013 SPFLI
     Dictionary Structure - SPFLI
     Cardinality 0..n
     Selection 0..1
     Initialization Lead Selection u2013 X
Attributes from SPFLI u2013 CARRID and CONNID
View contains an Interactive Form and a u201CSaveu201D button.
Form = Z_TABLE_TEST_FORM, Interface = Z_TABLE_TEST_INT u2013 created through forward navigation in Layout so uses XML interface.
Button u201CSaveu201D has the following code:
METHOD onactionsave.
DATA lo_nd_form     TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lo_nd_spfli    TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lo_el_spfli    TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA ls_spfli       TYPE wd_this->element_spfli.
DATA ls_element_set TYPE wdr_context_element_set.
lo_nd_form = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_form ).
lo_nd_spfli = lo_nd_form->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_spfli ).
ls_element_set = lo_nd_spfli->get_elements( ).
IF lo_nd_spfli IS NOT INITIAL.
    lo_el_spfli = lo_nd_spfli->get_element( ).
    IF lo_el_spfli IS NOT INITIAL.
      lo_el_spfli->get_static_attributes(
        IMPORTING
          static_attributes = ls_spfli ).
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDMETHOD.
On the Interactive Form, u201CPage1u201D is a main page. u201CTableParentu201D is a SubForm, flowed layout, in accessibility tab set to u201CTableu201D, and is bound to u201C$record.SPFLIu201D.
u201CDATAu201D is a SubForm under "TableParent", Positioned layout, in accessibility tab set to u201CBody Rowu201D, and is bound to u201CDATA[*]u201D.
Carrid and Connid are both Text Fields bound to Carrid and Connid, under "DATA".
I also added the Insert/Remove/Reposition buttons, but deleted the two reposition buttons.
The idea was to be able to add 4-5 Carrid/Connid pairs.
When running this, as configured above, then none of the data entered in the form makes it through to the Elements. If the context is changed to make the Cardinality 1..n, then a single Element is added u2013 but not the remainder.
What needs to be done to get this to work?
Many thanks
Jack

Hi Reema,
None. For all other fields, they are bound to the context, so the transfer is automatic.
These repeating fields are also bound to the context, but it appears that an element needs to be created for every repeating form. How can this be done from the form?
Cheers
Jack

Adobe Interactive Forms and WDA - Right click and submit

Hi guys,
We're developing some OnLine Adobe Intercative Form.
For each module we have one submit button that sends all data to SAP system.
Every module uses ZCI Layout and Native WebDynpro Library but when someone clicks on the submit button, also with right mouse button, it starts a submit event and after it opens a WDA's menu, from where, someone could accidentally hide a Adobe Form in his browser session!
So, I would like to know how we can disable this functionality and also how I can have a "hide reader toolbar" in my pallette inside Adobe liveCycle Designer 7.1.
Regards,
Antonello

Interactive Forms support two types of attachments:
1) Attachments as comments
- Interactive PDF Forms generated by the Adobe Document Services (ADS) in SAP turn on by default the commenting/annotations toolbar in Adobe Reader. You can then select "Attach a file as a comment" to attach a file anywhere on the page.
- This is available since the first release of Interactive Forms
- These attachments cannot be handled (e.g. detached) automatically on the server. You can use it to archive the PDF with the attachments or to open the form in Acrobat or Reader and open them on the client.
- Like any annotation functionality this does not work for dynamic interactive PDF forms (PDF forms which can dynamically grow/shrink in the client)
2) Document Level Attachments
- This is available with NW04S SPS10 and higher.
- To attach a document select Menu -> Document -> Attach a File in Reader
- Attachments can be manipulated/detached on the server using custom Java or ABAP code with the PDFDocument Object... Here is the documentation for the Java PDF Document Object (http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/wd/index.html)
- This works for all types of PDF documents (dynamic and static)

Matthias

SAP Interactive Forms and SAP Smart Forms for Human Capital Management

Hi gurus,
pls help me understand what are SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe and SAP Smart Forms for Human Capital Management (HCM)?
regds
jack

read here
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/SAPInteractiveFormsbyAdobe#SAPInteractiveFormsbyAdobe-WhatarethedifferencesbetweenSmartFormsandAdobeForms%3F
What are the differences between Smart Forms and Adobe Forms?
For both of them, SAP dynamically creates a function module that must be called from an ABAP program to generate the form
In Smart Forms, it is possible to add ABAP code during generation of the form, that is not possible with Adobe Forms
It is possible to add javascript or FormCalc code in Adobe Forms, which is executed during the generation of the form
Other differences are indicated in Note 1009567 Functional differences SAP Interactive Forms/Smart Forms

Web dynpro with adobe interactive forms and button submit

Hi,
I'am new with webdynpro and adobe interactive forms so i just trying some example with an adobe interactive form with a submit button event handler inside the webdynpro. But i can't catch the event handler submit that i creaate on onSubmit property of the interactive form.
Can anyone help please.
Thank you very much.

I think I understand but just to make it clear. I use texts created using function module "SAVE_TEXT". In my Web Dynpro I select one or more of them and use the button "insert text" (with appropriate functionality behind it) to insert them to specified location in my PDF form opened in this Web Dynpro. Considering what you said it is not possible to replace this "insert text" button by drag and drop functionality. Am I correct?
Btw great job with the book "Next Generation ABAP Development" Thomas!

Adobe Interactive Forms and SAP PI

Has anyone used SAP PI to process offline Adobe Interactive forms?
Any java api available that will do the trick?
We can use ABAP mapping but want to avoid such a design. Java is the preferred method.
PS: I am surprised why there is no standard integration available for the offline forms with SAP PI.

SAP PI is intended to be used for system integration on messaging base.
It is not intended to process forms.

Adda more pages to an Interactive Form and the binary context

Hi to all,
my scenario is: I have a java webdynpro with a view with an interactive form of 2 pages. I inserted a button on the pdf which duplicates the second page (using java script). Then there is the "submit to SAP" button which transfers the content of the binary context (I bound it to the pdfSource attribute of the interactive form) to an R/3 system. The fact is that when then I read the "binary" file from R/3, I find only the 2 pages and not the pages I added with my button.
How can I do? It's important for me the possibility of having more second pages.
Sorry for my english,
Thanks in advance
Enrico

Hi Enrico,
If I understand correctly, you are calling the addInstance() on click of the button that you placed in your form and when you add more pages using this button and save the fikle and open it again, the newly added instances are not displayed in the form. Am I right?
If this is the scenario, the you need to store the value of the forms created using this button and call the same addInstance() method in the initialize event of your form. I.e place the same code that is there in click event of the button inside the Initialize event of the form with the number that we have saved in some hidden field.
Hope this resolves your issue.
Cheers,
Arafat
