ISR Adobe PDF Comment (ISR_NEW_LONG_TEXT)

Hi,
We created a Scenario with Entry using Adobe PDF. Our problem occurs during the approval of the notification. When you try to Add a comment, your comment is not being saved. I bind the Add Comment field to ISR_NEW_LONG_TEXT. This only happens when we try to submit the notification in the UWL. When we try to test the form in txn QISRSCENARIO, the comments are being saved.
Thanks in advance,
Aris

Hi Anto,
The old comments (ISR_LONG_TEXT) appears in the notification, only the new comments (ISR_NEW_LONG_TEXT) is not being saved in the notification. Here are the Release and patch level of our system:
SAP Logon 640, ECC 6.0,
Patch Level: 23
Adobe Live Cycle Designer 7.09
Thanks,
Aris

ISR/Adobe: Getting the PDF binary within ABAP and upload PDF

Dear Forum,
I feel there have been some questions like this before on this matter, but not explicitly enough. My question applies only to Adobe together with ISR (not webdynpro/Adobe).
Using ISR/Adobe, the PDF is just used as a dynamic form. However, there are moments in the requests lifetime that it could be fixed. F.i. for sending e-mails with the PDF as attachment, or after approval for electronic archiving.
These both are hot topics on the project I am currently working on, but the way how to implement is not that clear.
The first thing I can think of is to use an FP* function modules based ABAP program to recreate the PDF. This is possible, since QISRSCENARIO also implements a forms interface. However, there are a few cons on this, as well on functionality (FP interface vs. webdynpro handling of ISR data) as from a maintenance point of view: you have to program an interface twice!
Second best but at least far more complex is to recreate the PDF binary by calling the ADS directly with an XFT and dynamically created XFD file. Much more work, but offers more functionality (longtexts!)
How nice would it be, if the ISR webdynpro's could offer the binary to the ABAP ISR* function modules, so they could be used anywhere where needed exactly identical to the original rendered form. But I am not aware of such possibility.
Has anyone made some progress on this field? And, asking to Markus, is SAP planning to make such possible in coming releases?
And while I am questioning this, Markus, are there any plans to incorporate the off-line webdynpro adobe possibility into ISR?
Looking forward to any answer and best regards, Hans GM

You can use the print form directly. I mean the same way as you would use the WD/ online form. Provide the form name, the data source and stuff and the form should work. If that would be an interactive one, you would not be able to change any values if the form is based on DDIC dictionary, but since you want to use the printform, this is not your concern.

Can't print to Adobe PDF 7.0 on Mac OS, is it still supported?

I use Adobe Acrobat Standard 7.0 on a PC running XP SP3 to create large format PDFs from JPEGs and TIF images; it works great for creating PDFs from technical drawings, etc. simply by "printing" to the Adobe printer from most any application.
To the point of this post, I also have Adobe Acrobat Pro 7.0 on a Mac running OS 10.5.6. While the Acrobat Pro software does its thing ok to merge PDF files and images to create a new file from within Acrobat, however, for the life of me, I can't get the Mac to actually print from another application to the Adobe PDF 7.0 printer (e.g. even from Photoshop or Illustrator which should be about as compatible applications as there could be for use with Acrobat)
On the Mac, Adobe PDF 7.0 shows up as a choice for a printer and allows all sorts of page output size and quality choices, (just as it does on the Windows version), however, nothing actually happens when I hit "print", the printer status window shows it as being "paused", but nothing can be done to "unpause" it, hitting "resume printer" generates the error message "Operation Could not be completed ... client-error-not-possible". I have updated to the latest revisions available for this 7.0 version of Acrobat Pro, but no luck.
Since I see similar comments / questions for later versions of Acrobat for Mac, think that this issue must be something about the Mac OS and the Adobe printer settings not "playing nice" with each other.
It really irks me to need go over to the PC to do something the Mac can't finish ... Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated ... Thanks in advance!

According to Adobe's support document on compatibility with Leopard:
http://www.adobe.com/support/products/pdfs/leopardsupport.pdf
Acrobat 8 "Requires update to v8.1.2 for full compatibility with Leopard."
As for Acrobat 7:
"While older Adobe applications may install and run on Mac OS X Leopard, they were designed, tested, and released to the public several years before this new operating system became available. You may, therefore, experience a variety of installation, stability, and reliability issues for which there is no resolution."
The fix described above may solve the problem in the short term -- which is likely caused by improvements to security in Leopard that make it harder for processes to write files to disk.
If you're using Photoshop and Illustrator, then you can save the file directly as a PDF. No need to print to PDF. (Though of course, if you're using CS2, there may well be other problems with PS and AI on 10.5.)
You may be interested to learn that even in Acrobat 9 on Snow Leopard, the Adobe PDF print queue is completely deprecated, and you have to use a "Save As Adobe PDF" option under the PDF button in the print menu.
There are of course ways round this. I use a CUPS backend that saves PostScript to a folder that Distiller watches. However, the ability of the print system to write files to the user spaces has been tightened up even more in 10.6.
The final point worth making is that you really should apply the system update to 10.5.8. There is absolutely no reason not to, and lots of reasons why you should. 10.5.7 contains lots of improvements to the reliability and stability of your system, for starters. Including improvements to the printing system.

Problem with adobe reader, commenting

one of our authors is using adobe reader x 11,1, and I send him a pdf (enabled commenting and measuring), but for some reason the commenting-fields does not show on his screen?
should I save the pdf in another way?

What do you mean by "commenting fields" exactly? By “commenting filds” I mean the tools in top of the page – delete, highlight etc. When I send the pdf, I save it as “file - save as - reader extended pdf – enable commenting and measuring”, otherwise the commenting tools normally don’t appear by the author.
Are they existing comments? no, it is the text in his pdf-book he needs to correct
Is he able to access the commenting tools? no
You can try sending a non-enabled version since Reader 11 can add comments to a non-enabled document. will try that J

Missing Adobe PDF as an option to print to.

Missing Adobe PDF as an option to print to.
I remember allowing my system do an Adobe update a couple of days ago. Don't ask me today what it updated because I don't remember.
My problem now is that I can no longer choose print to pdf. When choosing print -> pdf I encountered an error that stated that I still had three items in the queue that needed to be printed/deleted. Thinking this odd I opened up the control panel and noticed that I had two Adobe printers listed. First I opened Adobe and canceled the items in the queue. After canceling out the queue my Adobe printer closed and disappeared. I tried printing again with Adobe (Copy 1) but kept on getting an error. Thinking that I probably needed a new driver I deleted Adobe (Copy 1). Now I can't find the driver I need. If I need a driver at all. I do not have any problems printing a pdf file to the printer. How do I reinstall Adobe as a printer option?

An unexpected Error Occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF

Hello,
This is a very user-UNFRIENDLY message. There is no info as to what error occurred or how to fix it. I googled this error and only found info relating to earlier versions of Acrobat and not sure they would be worth the trouble of checking out on latest version...one would have hoped Adobe would have something on this, but I can't find anything about it concerning the current release.
The scenario:
Powerpoint 2010, Adobe Acrobat X Pro, both fully updated and current. Late model Dell computer with plenty of RAM/Disk space. Windows 7 Home Premium
I can create a PDF using the Print to Adobe PDF option. However this does not save embedded videos as flash videos, and I have several.
We are supposed to be able to embed videos in PDFs from Powerpoint (and other MS Office products) by having Acrobat Pro convert them to FLV format. I did a test conversion in Powerpoint using the "Insert Flash" option under the Acrobat ribbon, and it converted and played fine in Powerpoint. However when I then try to save the presentation as PDF, I get the error and no PDF is created.
This error occurs with both Acrobat X standard and Acrobat X pro. I had hoped that Acrobat X pro would not behave the same way but it does.
What's the deal? How do I fix this?
Thanks in advance for any help

Hi Bill & Sandeep,
Thank you very much for your comments. I also had entered a message about embedding cine loops (.avi -> .mov or avi -> MP4) into PDF files from Powerpoint slide presentations at another forum, and got some help there, too. I am confident the temp file is not the problem as my original file is not that big, but I did take Bill's advice and make a small 1-6 slide test presentation in Powerpoint to sort this out.
However I still haven't been able to get the desired result: A secure PDF of my slide presentation with embedded cine loops that will play smoothly and continuously once their page/slide is displayed or until the user clicks them off.
What I have done: The native files are .avi files (have to be, unfortunately.) I convert them to .mov or .mp4 to work with Acrobat X Pro Embed Flash feature. These files play fine in "native" format in Powerpoint. I can select an option for them to play continuously and that works.
If I load the same files via the "embed flash" process, they appear as a black box on my slide with nothing in it...this threw me for awhile. Then I found that if I just played the presentation as a "show" it would actually display the cine loop images that I couldn't see on the "Normal" editing page in Powerpoint, and once played as a show, the images and controls magically appeared on my slide in edit mode.
I converted the presentation to .PDF using the Powerpoint, "Save As Adobe PDF" option under the File menu in Powerpoint. File conversion went without a hitch.
However two problems arose: First of all, no way to get continous cine - each time the cine loop ends, the user has to re-trigger it...this is true in Powerpoint AND Acrobat with "Embedded" cine loops, but does not happen in Powerpoint if they are not "Embedded." In Acrobat if they are not "Embeded Flash," then only a still shot of frame 1 of the cine appears.
Second of all, the first time you click on the Cine to get it to play in the PDF, the image changes from image 1of the cine loop to a black box, and then plays the cine for just one loop. What's up with that? Very annoying appearance and doesn't happen in Powerpoint in native, non-flash format. I'd like that to go away also.
And by the way, I tried importing the cines directly into the PDF from within Acrobat and got the same problems, plus then the images are on slides/pages in the PDF that don't match the rest of the Powerpoint theme/style/color. I did find that turning off hardware acceleration completely fixed the black frame/stutter and some jerky cine problems when images are directly imported into Acrobat X - the images played smoothly and nicely, but I can't get past the garish look of having to manage the cines that way and how they look compared to the rest of the project. Also, having the hardware acceleration off does NOT fix the embedded videos made from within Powerpoint like it did the cines directly imported into Acrobat.
Since both of you (Bill & Sandeep) indicate this shouldn't be an issue, I'm sure I'm just ignorant and missing some easy fix. I sincerely appreciate you both trying to help me. If you (or anyone else, for that matter) have any more ideas, I'm definitely open to suggestion.
Best regards,
John

Adobe PDF Reader causing error in Windows 7

Greetings everyone.
I created a very simple VB.NET windows form application that only has one control, the Adobe PDF Reader. I created this project in both VS 2005 (.NET 2.0) and VS 2010 (.NET 3.5). My developer machine is XP SP3 32 bit. I experienced the same problem with version 8 and 10 of Adobe Reader.
When I compile the application and run the EXE file on my XP machine, everything is fine. I can see the form with the Adobe PDF Reader control. When I try to run the same program on our new Windows 7 SP 1 32 bit test machine, I get a generic Windows 7 error that says "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program" and I never see the form.
Has anybody else had this experience with Adobe PDF Reader on Windows 7?

I appear to have found the solution to the problem RE AcroPDF.dll with Windows 7.
I had Visual Studio 2010 installed on our Windows 7 test machine. I added Adobe Reader to the list of controls. When I tried to add the control to a form I got an error that said:
Failed to create component 'AxHost'. The error message follows: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.
When I researched this error in Adobe's forums, I found another user that basically said I needed to go to the Internet settings, under Preferences for Adobe Reader X, and make sure the box for Display PDF In Browser was checked.
After testing with my applications, this does appear to resolve the problem.
Let me know if anyone has any additional comments. Thanks for the help.

Your comment all software is up to date is wrong.
Unless You using a PowerPC Machine OSX up to 9.1
Acrobat X may be at 10.1.8 but the newest available is Acrobat 11.0.4
And what seriously out of date and may be causing your issues is That Office2011 is up 14.3.9 By using out of date application may cause part of your issues. Note it does take a Long time to process a Large document
If you can get the PDF to open
Look for and Choose Optimized PDF or PDF Optimzer
click fonts if you see any duplicate Fonts
example two or three copies or more of say Helvetica Bold Italic
click on all but one of them and move to unembed
Repeat with all Fonts that have duplicates.
Then click okay when done.
This issue can be caused by older versions of software.
But if downloaded from a PC the number one reason is that unlike Mac in which your old allowed one copy of a Font/Font Family. PC doesn't care how many copies fonts there are on the computer. Whatever app just choose one to use at that moment. So you could have 20 versions of Helvetica bold Italic and the syetem doesn't care.
I've received PDF from PDF's from PC's and there have been as many as 10 copies of one font. Once optimized the files size went down.

Printing to Adobe PDF Changes Checkbox Selection in Document

Hi,
We have a PDF that we got from a client from their financial institution. One page has sets of checkboxes on it.
If we do File - Save As and save it as another PDF, the checkboxes stay as is.
If we print the file to our digital copier, the checkboxes stay as is.
However, if we print the PDF to the Adobe PDF print driver, the values of the checkboxes change.
Before print to Adobe PDF:
Yes
Yes
<no response>
After print to Adobe PDF:
No
No
Yes and No
It's as if the printed copy gets the photo negative values of the checkboxes that were actually checked on the original.
I've tried all of the different options in the Adobe PDF printer preferences, like unchecking "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" as well as all of the "Comments and Markup" dropdown box settings and the Page Sizing options doesn't seem to matter either.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? I've tried it on both Acrobat Standard 11.0.0 and 10.1.6
Thanks in advance,
John

Why is FM crashing during import of PDF comments?

I'm running FM 9.0p255 on Windows 7 and using Acrobat Pro 9.4.5 (running in Windows XP on another computer) to enable commenting in Adobe Reader. After saving the file, in Windows 7 I open Adobe Reader 9.2.0 and make comments, then save the file. In FM 9 I open my 2-page file and import pdf comments. FM crashes. I've been trying everything to eliminate the problem, all the way down to creating an FM file with just the words "This is a test" in it. I went through the Acrobat comment process and added one word. When I tried importing pdf comments, I got this error:
"The modification date of the source file is newer than creation date of the tagged PDF. PDF comments may not be imported correctly. Click Yes to continue."
When I click Yes, FrameMaker crashes.
What is strange is that my FM file has 8/5/2011 4:39 PM as the Date modified.
My commented PDF has 8/5/2011 4:43 PM as the Date modified.
I've tried rebooting my computer and that didn't help. Does anyone know anything else I can try?

Linda, I'm wondering if there's some "conflict" being triggered because you're using both Win 7 and WinXP --
Specifically, I wonder if the two systems have off-kilter time stamps, and that's why FM is giving the "newer creation date" problem.
I don't quite understand what role the XP system has in your test, though -- can you not just use FM == and == make the PDF on the same Win7 box, make the comment on that box, then import the comments?
Understandably you will probably eventually need to be able to import comments from all sorts of other systems, but for troubleshooting could you try making the full create-comment-import cycle on the Win7 box only?
If that does work, then you might see of you can set the system time on the XP box to be somewhat slower than the Win7 box, and re-try with the XP box in the mix.
Edit: changing the system time clock is suggested only as a testing procedure, to see if we can isolate the exact cause, I'm not suggesting that in order to work reliably all your reviewers would need to synchronize their systems :-)

How to access ISR scenaros / PDF Forms to Webdynpro Java

How do we access the ISR Scenarios / PDF Forms created in R/3 to a WebDynPro - Java application. I don't think we have to use BAPIs to access these Adobe Forms.
Any insights is really appreciated.
Thank you very much ....
Waiting for any replies

Hi,
Well, As such I learned these HR Forms from this ISR Cookbook itself. I too delivered couple of ISR/PCR based applications. I also refered the Standard Forms and the related BADI's to get to understand the ISR Architecture.
As such,I dont think you can get any precise document for HR Forms.
But, you can always get Custom PCR Documentation from
https://websmp202.sap-ag.de/mss
In this link, access the Documentation-Internet Service Requests and Personnel Change Requests part.
These documents will certainly be useful for you.

I can't print any of the forum pages as Adobe PDF

I was in conflict over asking this question in Acrobat or in the Forum Comments forum, ultimately I decided to ask in Acrobat. Tried searching about this, but no luck.
I'm trying to just print any one forum post as Adobe PDF - not via the View as PDF or Print Preview options. I just want to print the plain jane web browser rendered forum post.
For some reason this doesn't work. Is it an issue on my end with printing to PDF or by design with the forum..?
Firefox browser.
Acrobat 9 pro.
XP Pro.

The steps I was using are exactly as you described.
I just tried printing my own forum post as well and it worked fine. That's really odd.
The post I initially tried (and still want..) to print was this in Print Design:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/474568?tstart=0
Another random thread it fails on in Print Design:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/457368?tstart=0
This also happens for posts in Illustrator for me. From what I can tell, it seems to fail if I try to print any forum post that causes more than one page to be generated in PDF. The forum posts with less than 1 or 2 posts work just fine printing as long as they don't make more than one page. This is very confusing.
Here is the resulting PDF from both failed threads:

Acrobat 8 Professional - Autocad - Adobe PDF options

I have Windows XP Pro 2002 SP2, Autocad 2008 and Acrobat 8 Professional Trial version.
when I am in Autocad and do a print to adobe pdf, I am always prompted for the filename and folder where the pdf file will be saved. the filename which is proposed always has the original dwg filename and also the layout name. the proposed folder is always the same as that of the previous pdf saved.
I have 2 questions about this:
1 - is there an option somewhere in acrobat 8 pro so as to permanently propose only to save with the dwg filename?
2 - is there an option somewhere in acrobat 8 pro so that the saving folder is the same as that of the dwg file?

Spectraflash...I'm trying to load the pdfmaker (adobe pro-8) tool bar in AutoCAD lt-08 I've tried to load them by adding pdfmaker.arx into my cui menus, is this what you're referring to as "start up suite"? I've tried every twist or turn I can think of to get them to load and be displayed but to no satisfaction. I would like to be able to plot to adobe with layers and several layout pages at once, very time consuming if I have to do each layout one at at time. Maybe (and I sure I am) missing something small, but if I have to call my IT department one more time to try and resolve this...well I would rather poke myself in the eye with a rusty screwdriver! They can't grasp the idea of "layers" and I'm to tired to go through it one more time. Anyway you can restate your comments above?

ISR/Adobe possible on Acrobat version lower then 7.0.x

Dear forum,
Working with ISR/Adobe forms I know it is common sense to use the latest Acrobat reader version, or at least 7.0.1. At a customer site we face serious compatibility problems with other software when using versions from 7.0.X . So it seems we are stuck on 6.0.x. Maybe you mind that 6.0.2 is mentioned in the ISR cookbook as the first possible release of Acrobat reader.
Unfortunately, however 6.0.2 does not seem to work properly. My question is: does anybody have ISR/adobe running with a Acrobat reader 6.x? In other words, if anyone had experience with modifying the ISR scripts to get it work on a release lower then 7.0.x?
Iam looking forward to your answer,
Hans GM

Hi Hans,
could you let me in on the incompatibilities (software, release, etc.) at your customer's site (directly if you prefer). This is quite crucial for SAP. If one customer runs into issues, others are bound to as well. (So far, luckily, we haven't heard of this yet, so it would be important to analyze whether the issue really is around Reader.)
Some background on the topic of Reader: With continuing development on both Adobe and SAP side, new requirements and features came up and into the product over time (including a new PDF spec, 1.6 instead of 1.5). Some features also required work on the Reader. If anyone has attempted to adapt the scripts to Reader 6, they probably had a difficult time. SAP also recommends to go the latest Reader release instead of sticking with 6.0.X. Apart from the annyoing Update available pop-ups in Reader...
Thanks in advance,
