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.

Rich Heilman

  • Designing Labels using Adobe Interactive Forms

    Is anyone out there using Adobe Interactive Forms to design packaging labels?  If so, I'd be interested in hearing about your experiences with this.  In particular, I'd like to know if you evaluated third-party label design software and did a comparative analysis with Adobe Interactive Forms as well as the results of your analysis (what were the strengths and weaknesses of each).

    Hi there,
    I am having the same problem. I deployed the same WD with IF on 2 different machines and there everything works fine. I using the same browser (IE6) on all the machines. Where  are using Native IF and running Adobe Reader 7.0.8. We are on NW04s SP9.
    I tested the ADS Webservice on the machine and that is working fine.....
    Hope somebody can tell me where to look.
    Thx in advance.
    Amit, when you are using IF type "native"  the at least run Adobe Reader 7.0.8. Maybe this solves the problem for you.

  • 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.

  • Printing chinese characters on a Zebra printer using Adobe Interactive Form

    Hello,
    We have created an Adobe Interactive Forms in SAP with some words in English and another one in simplified chinese. We have defined a Zebra printer in SPAD with the AZPL203 driver.
    When we print the form in the zebra printer some of the chinese characters are printed and some of them no.
    Has anyone faced the same problem?
    Thanks a lot

    Hi,
    Welcome you post on the forum.
    However, this is not the right forum for you. It is only for SAP Business One user. Please search entire forums first to find which one is more proper.
    However, this issue may not be related to SAP at all. Search on the web would be better.

  • Is it possible to create Adobe Interactive form in ECC 5.0 IDES using WDA?

    Hi every body,
    I am trying to create an adobe interactive form in ECC 5.0 IDES using Web Dynpro for ABAP. But I am facing some configuration problems. My doubt here is -> "Is it possible to create abobe interactive forms in ECC 5.0 IDES using Web Dynpro for ABAP ?"
    Please help me out.
    thanks in advance,
    best regards,
    naveen.

    Hi Naveen,
    ECC 5.0 is NW04 - not NW04s so you don't have WDA at all as you should be able to see from e.g. it not appearing in the list of possible programming objects in transaction SE80.
    You'd need ECC 6.0.
    Double-check your SAP_BASIS release in menu System > Status > Component Information.  If it says 6.40 then that's no good... you need to be on 7.00.
    You can still use Java WebDynpro with ECC 5.0 of course.

    Jocelyn

  • Unable to close browser when using Adobe Interactive Form

    Hello,
    I'm using an Interactive Form in my Web Dynpro application. Everything works fine, but when the view with the Interactive Form is active, I am not able to close the browser window anymore. Moving to another view is also not possible.
    I already changed all the options of the Interactive Form but always the same behaviour.
    I am developing on Web AS 6.40, Service Pack 11. ADS is installed also with Service Pack 11.
    Adobe Reader is Version 7.0 and Adobe Designer is Version 7.1
    Has anyone an idea what's wrong?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi,
    I am facing a problem with viewing SAP interactive forms.
    I have the SAPForms.api in Adobe reader plugins but is outdated (19th apr, 05). How do I get the new one and how do I register it ? This same scenario works on a colleague's machine with same config except the SAPForms.api which is latest. (Nov, 05)
    Any pointers will be highly appreciated.

  • Using Adobe interactive forms in CAF

    Dear,
    We're setting up the following flow :
    1/ Adobe Interactive Form -> Enter data, press button, triggers webservice, starts GP.
    2/ GP -> Does RFC call with values from form, returns different values
    These steps pose no problem at the moment, but we're unsure how to proceed with the next steps. A new interactive form needs to be sent with the new data, which should then trigger the next step in the GP upon completion.
    Is this possible, to do this and still stay in the same GP?
    We can generate a form with an RFC call if necessary, I'd even prefer this, but then how do we know what to send back to the GP to stay in the same GP? Can we call a specific step in an existing GP to trigger the next one?
    Thanks in advance,
    Frederik-Jan

    Basically this example described by SAP itself :
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/c4/8d4a4273bb3830e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
    The problem is, I haven't found the description of how to do this. Only that it's possible, which is little help sadly enough.
    Example 1: Offline Form for In-Process Use
    You can use such form to execute certain process steps offline and get data required for the next steps in the process.
    For example, you can create a form that is sent to the processor by e-mail. The recipient enters the required data in the form offline, and submits it back to Guided Procedures (GP). The input data is then passed to the relevant parameters of the next action in the process.
    To implement this scenario, you must:
    ·        Design an appropriate interactive form with input fields for all required data, and a Submit button that sends the information back to the GP framework.
    ·        Create an interactive form callable object with the following configuration parameters selected:
    ¡        Enable Use in Guided Procedures
    ¡        Create an Offline Interactive Form and Send it by E-Mail
    ·        Add the callable object to an action, and insert the action into the relevant block and process.
    ·        Consolidate the parameters, so that the output of the interactive form is mapped to the input of the next action in the process.
    The predefined Check User block implements this scenario.

    Hello Experts,
      I know this is a common topic now , but the problem I am facing, no thread help me to solve that.
    Problem:--
    My requirement is to create an adobe form , in which
      -> an input field is needed,and some  description is needed.
    I used button to trigger my webservice.
    Here , I want to clear that , I have made a proper WEB SERVICE using Remote Enabled FM.
    My web service is working fine as I have tested from WS NAVIGATOR(Note:  http://<source>:<port>/wsnavigator).
    In Adobe Form (SFP), I have made a new Data connection using WebService WSDL.
    All Request and Response parameters are availabe in Data View palletes of Form.
    Button that is available from data connection is used.
    I  have used Button as  an Execute button , under execute tab in connection , I had given DATA CONNECTION name .
    But above things not worked so ,
    I also tried with Regular Button , and under click written Javascript/FormCalc  which is:--
    var cURL = 'http://x.y.com:8012/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/ZMATERIAL_DESCRIPTION?sap-client=800&wsdl=1.1';
    var service = SOAP.connect(cURL);
    xfa.connectionSet.DataConnection2.execute(0);

    So, I think there can be a little issue may be , I am forgetting to click some special  atrributes in form .
    Please help me and let me know what can be probable reasons that webservice is not triggering
