Interactive PDF form in Activities - Error in Content Server

Hi Experts,
We would like to display an interactive PDF form in the attachements of activities.
But the new windows shows nothing.
First we thought this was an error due to Interactive Forms, but then we found out that Content Server has obviously some problems with this generated PDF and assigns a Content Length = 0 to all these generated documents.
Please find attached some ICM traces, which shows this
content length = 0.

To have information entered once in a text field, and then have information repeat in subsequent fields, the name of each text field form needs to be identical. In screen shot, both fields are named the same

    I tried to submit an interactive PDF form,  but received a message: Error opening URL to submit the form. My form is created in InDesign cs6 and exported to interactive PDF with text fields. any one has some tips to deal wiith this?

    Did you get this resolved? I am doing the same thing, passing in a url to the submitForm method via cURL. I am submitting as FDF, and specifying the #FDF at end of URL.
    Currently working against a localhost url, which is allowed and trusted in acrobat to rule out the enhanced security of the reader.
    Any ideas?

  • Cannot open/view/access interactive pdf form using Safari

    I was unable to open interactive pdf forms from websites with Safari 6 on my iMac. I received the following message:
    Quote
    To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

    Unquote
    I still couldn't view/open/access the form even after I upgraded to Version 11.0.04 of Adobe Reader.
    This problem happens only (I believe) after I updated OS X and Safari. Previously I was able to do it without any trouble as recently as July 2013. However, I don't encounter any issue if it is just an ordinary pdf document especailly if it can be downloaded to be opened later.
    As far as I can ascertain, I don't have any plug-in except for McAfee SiteAdvisor 2.0, 1Password 3.9.0, AdBlock 2.5.46 (which is disabled), Evernote Web Clipper 5.7, and Open In Internet Explorer 1.0 (by Parallels).
    I am using OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and Safari 6.0.5 (8536.30.1).
    Can anyone please help? Thank you.

    Thank you, Carolyn Samit and andyBall_uk, for your prompt responses and suggestions.
    Although I didn't follow your recommendations, they gave me some idea regarding what to do to resolve the issue.
    The solution is actually very simple. I uninstalled my existing Adobe Reader (using CleanMyMac 2 but I believe moving the app to trash should do it as well), downloaded a fresh copy (version 11.0.04) and reinstalled it again. When the software was being installed, it asked whether I wanted to make Adobe Reader (AR) the default PDF reader. I indicated OK and allowed installation to proceed and finish.
    After installation of AR, I reopened Safari and went to a website to click the link to the pdf form. And lo and behold, I was able to open/access/view the document! It worked with a second website.
    So the lesson is when installing an upgrade remember to make Adobe Reader the default PDF reader.
    I hope that this procedure can help others resolve their issue if they have a similar problem.

  • 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

  • Interactive PDF forms linked in the article to appear in the folio

    Can I make an interactive PDF form that can be used in the folio via linking or some other way. I need this book to have a review area with question that can be answered. and since you can create nifty forms in InDesign now, I was wondering if this new form feature can be used in a book you create with the Folio building options.
    I have linked a PDF but text imput was not present in the app

    Yeah, that is what I suspected as well.  My question is, how force all fields to use the "private version", rather than embedding so I can correct these large files?
    I managed to come across another thread on the forum that you commented on a while back.  You suggested running a script, which I attempted (and resulted in error)
    The thread: Set default font type and size in formcreated using Acrobat X Pro
    for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i++) {
        var fName = getNthFieldName(i);
        var f = getField(fName);
        if (f.type === "text") {
            f.textFont = font.Arial;
            // Other properties go here
    InvalidSetError: Set not possible, invalid or unknown.
    Field.textFont:7:Console undefined:Exec
    I feel like I'm getting closer to resolving this.. I'm glad I at least understand the issue now.  It's been puzzling me for a month.

  • Digital Signature Interactive PDF form

    Hi
    I am Trying to make an Interactive PDF form with a functionality to Display and hide Specific Fields Using a Button
    Is It possible to Digitally Sign such a PDF
    If it is
    Will the signature be removed once i Activate the Interactive Functionality from the form of Display\Hide a field  ?

    To further elaborate:
    There is some general Java documentation in the SAP library on digitally signing a document with SSF:-
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a4/d0201854fb6a4cb9545892b49d4851/content.htm
    Questions though:
    (1) If I sign with the SSF classes will this then prevent the popup "Uncertified document" appearing in ACROBAT reader? The PDFs that the UI interactive form produces are not pure XML streams are they? As far as I can ascertain SSF is not suitable for signing PDFs!
    (2) At which event would one sign the pdfSource context node for an interactive form created in the web dynpro environment? At method WDoInit of the PDF view the pdfSource context node is still null.
    Thanks again,
    Jonathan

  • Interactive PDF forms

    Hi,
    In Our project we are creating an Interactive PDF form. This form shows some data that we get from the bapi.While creating the form there is no issue.
    We are also saving the generated PDF's at some location in the server. Through a different application we are accessing these old stored pdf's. Now when we save the PDF to our local machine and try to open it we get a message saying:
    >"This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document".
    With this message all the javascript written on the PDF form get disabled and due to this few of the data are not getting displayed.
    What can be the reason for this? Does it has something to do with ADS configuration on the server?
    Please reply.
    Thanks & regards,
    Sujit

    Hi, Sujit!
    To me it seems that the document somehow gets modified while you process. Try to save your file on the local machine under a new name, enable and save again.
    Regards,
    Thomas

    One alternative would be to create a web form in FormsCentral and use the attachment feature.

  • Extend SAP R/3 4.x with Interactive PDF Forms

    Hi there,
    In this blog of Matthias Zeller <a href="http:///people/matthias.zeller2/blog/2004/06/22/the-hidden-secret-of-adobe-reader hidden secret of Adobe Reader</a> there is the following paragraph:
    <i>While mySAP ERP 2004 provides many business scenarios using Interactive Forms out-of-the-box, a lot of customers have asked me how they can use the new Interactive Forms with existing R/3 applications. Therefore, I would like to encourage you to vote for my SAP TechEd presentation proposal ("Extend your SAP R/3 4.x applications with interactive PDF forms"). I plan to discuss how you can connect your existing SAP R/3 applications with SAP Web AS 6.40 to enable interactive form workflows.</i>
    Can somebody tell me if this presentation is somewhere on SDN? Or can somebody tell me where i can find more information about this subject?
    Thx in advance.
    Regards Maarten.

    Hi Maarten,
    Here's a brief run-down on how you could make use of SAP/Adobe Interactive Forms and Workflow:
    1) Remember that a form is really just a UI for collecting data.  A PDF form can be used to collect data online (connected to your SAP system) or offline, e.g. you could send it as a mail attachment, fill it in, and email it to a central point for uploading into the system. 
    2) The main requirements for using SAP Interactive Forms are:
    a) A NW04 (6.40) or NW04s (7.00) WebAs (Java Stack) to run Adobe Document Services. This is the critical component that assigns ReaderRights to the document, e.g. so that the user can change the data and save it on the document.   You could run a WebAs like this alongside your R/3 4.7 - e.g. if you have an XI system or Enterprise Portal you could use that system to run Adobe Document Services.  Every form you create must be generated via the Adobe Document Services to get the Reader Rights. Note: Get a NW04s environment if you can - as this release has usefuul new features such as loading attachments to the PDF, using digital signatures, etc.
    b) A WebDynpro application to generate the Adobe form via Adobe Document Services, and to execute the Adobe Form when using online mode, and to upload offline forms.  Tutorials on how to do this are available in SDN - have a look at the Adobe section within WebDynpro. Note: From ECC 5.0 there are some standard WebDynpros apps provided, but in R/3 4.7 you will need to write your own.
    c) There's also a licensing requirement for any production custom forms (SAP provided forms and cosmetic changes to those forms are free) so make sure you get your SAP account manager involved to help sort out how your intended usage will fit in with your current license agreement and any discounts that may apply.
    3) To use the "form" with workflow has some additional requirements:
    a) You need to store the data entered via the form somewhere that is accessible by Workflow.  The easiest approach here is to use the standard form handling technique Internet Service Requests.  Transaction QISRSCENARIO will let you define all of the form fields, give you BADIs for doing validation, raising workflow events, etc.  Also from ECC 5.0 onwards using Adobe forms as the form entry is a standard option for this technique, so this will help reduce the upgrade impact when you eventually do upgrade.
    b) Assuming you use ISRs, have your WebDynpro App call the function module ISR_PROCESS_EVENT to pass the data to R/3 and do the validation checks.
    c) Assuming you use ISRs, you use the BOR object for notification such as BUS2078, as your main object for the workflow.  The form data is attached to the notification and can be retrieved using function module ISR_SPECIAL_DATA_GET.
    d) If you want to call your WebDynpro App from SBWP (I take you don't have Enterprise Portal?) then use transaction WF_EXTSRV to define the web service to call your WebDynpro app and generate a workflow task for it.  Also you must configure transaction WF_HANDCUST to enable R/3 to handle web services.  Note: If you do have the Enterprise Portal, you can use transaction SWFVISU instead.
    I'd strongly recommend you read the ISR cookbook at http://service.sap.com/isr as well.   ISRs aren't the only way to use Adobe forms with R/3 but they are extremely handy if you want to use your Adobe form with Workflow.
    As for Lotus Notes, you can use your WebDynpro app to generate and send/receive a form to/from an email address.  You can also put a hyperlink in your workflow task to call your WebDynpro app and use RSWUWFML2 (swap to Enhanced Notifications when you upgrade) to send out a mail with the hyperlink attached as per usual.
    You'll also find some useful threads on Adobe forms and Workflow in the SDN BPM Forum.  So if you have workflow specific questions try raising them in the BPM forum.
    Enjoy!
    Regards,
    Jocelyn

  • Can someone help me in building an interactive PDF form with dynamic bounding box?

    Hi Guys,
    I need to create an interactive PDF form which will contain images, text and fields.
    This is how it would be laid out:
    Header Image at the top.
    Below that a Text Box with a question "Choose the number of licenses" and a drop down option from 1 to 10.
    Depending on what they select, I need the following to be displayed.
    The following should be encapsuled by a bounding box.
    If "1" is selected. "Username: <blank field>    Password: <blank field>
    Then a button which says "Click Here To Login To Your New Account".
    The bounding box should end here.. and I have more text and images below.
    This I could achieve! But now if I select "2" I would need the bounding box to automatically become taller to accommodate two rows with "Username <blank> Password <blank>
    The bounding box needs to expand or contract based on the number selected in the drop down.
    Would love to here your thoughts on this!
    Cheers,
    Rajiv

    If you were to look at the spec for PDF, you'd see that that is probably not possible with a PDF file.
    But, I encourage you to ask this question in the Acrobat PDF Forms forum where the forms experts reside, and perhaps they could suggest an answer. JavaScript can be used, and perhaps that's the answer:

  • End user have ability to change font style in text field of interactive pdf form?

    Does the end user of an interactive pdf form able to change the font style, i.e.: make something bold or underline a word in a text field?
    I am making a form with text fields and the end user would like the ability to make something bold or underline it.. I do not see anywhere in acrobat that allows styles to be changed.
    I have created the form in Indesign > saved it as an interactive pdf and brought it into Acrobat.

    Thank you for the quick response! Do you set this in Indesign before exporting or do you set this in Acrobat? I am in Acrobat 10.1.10 and when I go to properties it doesn't give me  'options' to choose from.
