Interactive Forms Licencing

Hi,
Do I have to pay a licence fee if I :
1. Design and interactive form ( using form designer which comes with NWDS )
2. Submit form value to my custom java program
3. Process interactive form data with my custom Java programs ( probably web service) and use it in workflow using Guided Procedures
( I will not use ADS in any step )
Regards
Abdul.

Hi Abdul,
You don't have to pay for a credential unless you use new Interactive Forms in productive environments.
By new Interactive Forms, I mean new ones, created from scratch or SAP standard with data content modified (for instance, adding a logo is not considered as a modification).
More explanation on this with SAP note 736902.
The Reader rights, enabled by the ADS at runtime, allow data exchange in the form so in your case, no data will be sent to your servlet if the form is not rendered by ADS...
Don't hesitate if you have additional questions,
Regards,
Francois

Non-interactive PDF forms & licences

Hello,
I need an advice. I created WD application using non-interactive PDF form. Actually I used UI element InteractiveForm but we didn't place any editable element (text box, dropdown list, ...) into it. We just want to generate the PDF form dynamically. And now we need to know whether it's necessary to buy any licence for this use case. Does somebody know that?
After deployment I can't open the PDF form. The report "500 Internal Server Error ..." is displayed and there is message "... The error is: com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.base.core.PDFDocumentRuntimeException: Failed to UPDATEDATAINPDF ..." in defaltTrace file.
Thank you in advance!
Regards
Zbynek

Thank you very much! The answer was really helpful. But I have one more question. I have changed preview type from INTERACTIVE FORM to PRINT FORM as you recommended but it still doesn't work.
There is written "
...PDFObjectRuntimeException: Processing exception during a "UsageRights" operation.
com.adobe.ProcessingException: Could not retrieve a password for credential: ReaderRights.
" in defaultTrace file.
Till now I didn't asked SAP for sending credential. Now I did that. Do you think that it could be the problem? I thought it's not necessary for non-interactive forms.

Zbynek

Adobe Forms Licences

Hi masters
I am creating adobe forms to a customer who has 5000 licences to adobe forms, and I ask to you.. where I need to create those users to the licences ? On the UME (NetWeaver CE) or on the ECC ? How should be the users profile ?

Lehcim,
See if any of below threads help:-

Interactive form takes 10-15 minutes to open and exhausts system resources.

The version of Livecycle designer am using is 7.1
The interactive form that I designed is taking like 10-15 minutes to open and while its opening, its taking all the system resources as I see a prompt on the task bar besides time/date "Virtual Memory Minimum Too Low".
The tutorial project works fine, the TravelRequest.pdf opens just fine: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/user-interface-technology/wd%20java/wdjava%20archive/offline%20interactive%20pdf%20form%20using%20download.pdf
Would installing version 8.0 solve this ?
I am on NWDS sp18.
Thanks

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

Fields missing in Interactive forms in SFP

Hi All,
I am using interactive forms (transaction SFP) for Prsonnel change request in MSS.When i go to this form ISR_FORM_SPEG thru SFP, i realised that come standard fileds like PERNR,ENAME etc are missing ( Generic ISR Table Type) are missing from the context folder of ISR_FORM_SPEG.Any idea how i can bring them back into place??
Regards,
Aditi

Hi Aditi,
Go to transaction QISRSCENARIO. check if these fields are there in the characteristics of the corresponding scenario (here SPEG). If they are there, click on the change button next to the form name in the Basic data of the scenario. A pop up message asking you to change the context fields as per the characteristics fields. This gets you to the ALCDesigner. Once the proper bindings are done for the form, exit and lets you go back to the qisrscenario transaction. save the data and also activate the form. <provided you are viewing the standard scenario in the change mode>.
else
copy this scenario and make the adjustments you need.
if there are some fields in the form that are not part of the characteristics, click on the import form fields button next to the form name. and save it.
Hope this will solve your problem.
do update the forum reg your findings.
Thanks and warm regards,
Anto.

Get form values from an uploaded offline interactive form.

Hi,
I have created a simple offline interactive form with 2 text input elements Email and PhoneNumber.
I have created a button on the view. In the action, I have to get the values of the Email and PhoneNumber
How to capture input values from an offline interactive form.
Thanks
Srinivas

Hi Arafat,
I followed the how to do document https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/user-interface-technology/wd%20java/wdjava%20archive/offline%20interactive%20pdf%20form%20using%20download.pdf , and it mentioned what you just said. But I couldn't understand your suggestion "In second view you need to embed the IF element and create the required context attributs mapping for fields. Set the pdfMode as usePDF."
In the second view, I have created another interactive form for previewing the offline form.
I am able to preview the offline form. On submit action (submit button is on the view), when I print the context values, I get nulls.
Thanks

WSDL Data connection not working - SAP Interactive Forms(Adobe Based)

Greetings,
I am trying to explore the features of Adobe based forms in SAP (WAS 6.4) and have been trying to create an interactive form.
I am trying to use the WSDL file Data Connection but with no success. This is what I have been doing, starting with a blank form in the "Layout" tab,
   - In the "Data View", created a "New Data Connection".
   - Selected "WSDL file" Option.
   - Browsed to and selected the desired WSDL file.
   - Selected the WebService Option listed (Only one in my case).
The WebService in this case is programed to "Request" two numbers and "Response" back the sum. (This was just for trial).
- The connection subsequently appeared in the "Data View".
   - Expanded the "Request" and "Response" trees and dragged the elements to the "Body Page" screen.
   - Dragged the Data Connection Button to the screen.
   - On the Properties of the Button, Went to the "Object" tab and then to the "Execute" tab.
   - Checked "Re-Merge Form Data" and Run at "Client and Server"
   - Generated the PDF Preview
   - On the preview, entered the values for the "Requested" fields and clicked the button. It displays the error message "Couldn't post data to ".
This was my long story, but with this background, what I want to know is:
   - How do i get it to work, I expected to see the sum in the field.
   - What is meant by running at "Client or Server".
We do use a proxy server to connect to the Internet.
As a bottom line, I intend to make an interactive form with which I can display real-time transactional data on the form from our R/3 46C server based on a user input on the form itself (eg: PO info on entering of PO number on the form output itself)
Best Regards,
Sanyam Kapur

Hi Sanyam,
Looking for messages with zero reply I have found yours.
Even if it is some time ago, when you posted the message, I would like to give some hints here:
Web Dynpro does not allow to access data coming directly from a Web Service and display it within a pdf file. You need to create a Web Service modell first. Then you would bind the InteractiveForm property to the context and the data can be shown.
Hope that helps.
Best regards,
Karin
