Interactive forms in SAP CRM 5.0
Hello all,
we want to use Adobe Interactive Forms instead of SmartForms for the printing scenarios in SAP CRM 5.0
In the Chapter "Output Determination" the SAP Help says:
"You design the forms for your output using the graphical tool Smart Forms."
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/b8/58bf39f7568648e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
Is there any possibility to use Adobe interactive forms instead of SmartForms?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Thomas
Ramesh,
One of my colleagues in EMEA was able to help us out. Below are several links on help.sap.com that I believe you will find useful.
I hope this information helps. Good luck!

Also, in his post to me, he mentioned there should be a configuration document in SAP Solution Manager. I personally do not have access to SolMan; however, you may be able to find something by going to CRM > Solutions/Applications > SAP CRM > Scenarios > Partner Channel Management > Lead and Opportunity Management with Channel Partners > Business Processes > Lead Processing with Channel Partners > on the right side is a Configuration tab (click on it) > under Type Document select the first link Configuration Reference.

Developing Adobe Interactive forms in SAP R/3 4.7
I have a client requirement of developing Adobe Interactive forms for automating exisiting manual processes. The SAP version being used is SAP 4.72.
Could anyone please let me know what all is required to implement it and how that can be done in brief.
One of the related links to the topic without much details is 4.7 and Adobe Interactive Forms.
If anyone has worked with such requirement, his inputs would be valuableHi,
You will have to use WD Java for integrating Interactive forms with SAP version 4.7
NetWeaver developer Studio ( NWDS) is the tool used for this integration. Data can be passed from SAP to WD Java using RFCs.

Hi All
I have a requirement where we display an interactive form in a web dynpro. The user captures some information and on submit I need to save the interactive form (i.e. the file) as a notification attachment in QM02.
I'm not sure if this is possible and if not, what is the best way of saving an interactive form in SAP.
Thanks in AdvanceThanks Nawal
What I am trying to do is save and update the Interactive form as a notification attachment. I convert the xstring data to binary and store the form as an attchment using fm SDOK_PHIO_STORE_CONTENT and this works. I can read the binary data, convert it to xstring and display the adobe form on the portal.
But when I want to update the binary content in SAP with any changes, I use fm SDOK_PHIO_STORE_AS_UPDATE. This also seems to work but when I try to display the updated document on the portal, it says the file is damaged and could not be repaired. -
Is it possible to use Adobe Interactive Forms in SAP (ABAP) Trial Version?
Dear All,
i need some help concerning the usage of Adobe Interactive Forms in SAP (ABAP) Trial Version.
I installed SAP Netweaver 7.01 (ABAP Trial Version) and i would like to use the Adobe Interactive Form editor (transaction SFP). Is this trial version prepared for this? Is it possible to edit and test Interactive Forms in the ABAP Trial Version too?
Somebody told me that he installed Adobe Lifecycle Designer 7.1 but the layout manager part of the editor shortdumped when he wanted to go back to other parts of the editor or he wanted to save what he did...
Is it enough to install Adobe Lifecycle Designer 7.1? Is there something else to install or configure?
Thank you for your help in advance.
All the best, P. Phil.Yes, you need the lifecycle designer installed. That should be enough to work with the SFP transaction. But to actually use the form, I think you do need the ADS(Adobe Document Services) which runs on the java stack.

Adobe Forms is the second step in the HCM process, as HCM is the online process..in between of the process adobe form will come in to picture to fill online.
What is the difference between Interactive/Non-Interactive Forms?
In non-interactive forms,there is no database interaction.If u say interactive forms.if u enter data in the form data will be saved directly in the data base..
In which sub-modules of SAP HCM are such forms used?
OM(Orzanization Management),PA(Personel Adminstration) and PD(personel Admin) ..ect...
What is that an HCM consultant has to expect from Basis and ABAP consultants for this?
from basis HCM dont required more help..only authorization and access only.
from ABAP u need more..if u use standard backend system..some times data will not picked automatically at that time through BADI u need to fill the data to the form,and to do validation in the form level..ABAPER need to write scripting

Call a web service in an interactive form within SAP
hi experts
I need to call a Web service into an interactive form within SAP, but to do so fails to press on the button that calls the Web service, the strange thing is that if I keep the PDF in my PC, then open that PDF download button works correctly if I am doing something wrong?, you can do what I need?.
Greetings.Hi asdasdasdasd1,
not sure if I fully understand your problem but it sounds like you are trying to execute your Web Service in the preview tab of LiveCycle Designer. When you do this, features of the Reader Extension Rights are not available so you will have to generate the form via the ADS and test the WS on the generated rendition as you have done.
Let me now if this helps.

Not able to attach the scanned document with Interaction Record in SAP-CRM
Hi Experts,
I have a scanned document and I am trying to attach it with Activity in Interaction Record.
I maintained the document ID refering to scanned document in table TOA01 with interaction record guid; however the attachment gets displayed in SAP-CRM GUI but i am not able to see the attachment in SAP-CRM GUI.
Please help if someone has encountered a similar issue or propose a way to attach the document with acitivity in interaction record.
Regards,
Amit Gupta.Hello Amit,
I am not able to understand your requirement correctly. Are you trying to attach the Document as a Attachment to the Interaction record (or) trying to attach it as a Archive Link Document??
If you could give me more info.. I think I will be able to assist you with this as I have worked in this area...
Cheers..

Interactive Form in SAP NetWeaver
Hi SDN,
I would want to know if it is possible to create non-interactive pdf in NetWeaver.
If I use interactive form in web dynpro java I have error at running application...
The exception in the dump is:
"com.sap.tc.webdynpro.pdfobject.core.PDFObjectRuntimeException: Processing exception during a "UsageRights" operation. Request start time: Wed Apr 15 09:57:28 CEST 2009 com.adobe.ProcessingException: Could not retrieve a password for credential: ReaderRights Exception Stack Trace: com.adobe.ProcessingException: Could not retrieve a password for credential: ReaderRights at com.adobe.ads.operation.UsageRights.execute(Unknown Source)"
I not have Reader Right Credential and
I do not have interest to create interactive form but I want to create a print based forms on web dynpro java from NetWeaver.
Thanks & Best Regards
T. AndersonIs is possible. But you have to install Reader Right Credential on your WebAS (J2EE) server.
SAP customers/partners can request credential for free via Service Marketplace.
Only productive usage of self-developed of modified forms in interactive scenarios requires additional fees.

Generating Interactive Form in SAP GUI and saving in offline repository.
Hi Experts
Is it possible to generate an Interactive SAP Adobe Form and display it to a user within SAPGUI, as well as save the captured PDF form offline for later retrieval?
We have the following requirements
- Access an Interactive Form via SAPGUI, form containing data fetched from backend ERP (access of document cannot be via Portal)
- Form to be saved "Offline", and to be accessible at a later point in time. Is it possible to save the PDF for later retrieval as an object inside SAP (what mechanisms are available?), or to store it in an external document repository for later retrieval?
Any input would be appreciated.Hi Costa,
As the first step, you need to create an Interface and Form through TCode SFP . After Interactive form layout designing, when you activate the object, a function module gets generated automatically. You have to call this function module from a z-program. This program is known to be the driver program. When you run this program by passing the appropriate parameters to the generated FM, it will create and download the pdf form for you.
Check the following link for reference:
[Driver program for ADOBE FORM;

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
jackread 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

Binding problem from adobe interactive form to SAP
Hello All,
I'm using SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio 2.0.9 SAP WAS 2004s SP11.
I'm tried to exercise with document "How To Create Online and Offline Forms in Web Dynpro for Java" (you can check it this link https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/4fd2d690-0201-0010-de83-b4fa0c93e1a9). I could run it succesfuly but i have a problem. I couldn't get data from Adobe Interactive form when i click "Submit to SAP" button. All field value return with "null".
The code is like that;
public void onActionFormSubmit(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
//@@begin onActionFormSubmit(ServerEvent)
String name = wdContext.currentTravelDataElement().getEmployeeName();
String costcenter = wdContext.currentTravelDataElement().getCostCenter();
String city = wdContext.currentTravelDataElement().getDestinationCity();
String country =
wdContext.currentTravelDataElement().getDestinationCountry();
wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager().reportSuccess(
"Form submitted: Employe Name="
+ name
+ " costcenter="
+ costcenter
+ " city="
+ city
+ " country=" +
country);
What could be the problem?hi Selcuk,
check what is the cardinality of the node that bound to the interactive form.
interactive form->properties->dataSource = <xyz node of context>
goto <xyz node of context> -> properties
just change the cardinality to 1..1.
goto
interactive form->properties...
check that the dataSource and pdfSource are bound to the right Context nodes/attributes...
hope this helps...
with regards,

We all know that Adobe interactive forms can be called from portals and updated by the users. Is there any possibility that the Adone interactive form can be called inside SAP GUI and updated in the same manner?

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.
