Issue with Adobe Form Layout

Hi,
I have an issue with the Adobe Form Layout.Although I have added a field in the Context Menu of the Form Builder but the context has not been added to the Data View.
Could you please help me to understand how to include the parameters and structures that we define in the context and add them to the Data View in layout?As far as I know, it is done automatically.But in this case I don't understand what the problem is.
Please help me.
Thanks,
Sandeep.

it is normally done automatically. Do ANY of your fields show in your DATA VIEW? Or, are you just missing the new one?
If you're only missing the new one, make sure your Context has the field defined correctly and generated.. Then make sure you have updated the mapping in your View Context and generated that.
After those 2 things, your field should now show.
You cannot, as far as I know, define an attribute as any sort of TABLE - we have a common structure that has several Table Types in it. When we import that structure, we have to delete those attributes and create Nodes to mimick those tables.
If you've accidentally included a Table type as an attribute, you won't see any fields in your Data View.
EDIT: by the way, there's an Adobe Interactive Forms Forum where you should ask these kinds of questions.

  • Performance issue with Adobe forms

    Dear SAP Experts,
    We have the following issue/requirement from our client. The client is on SAP ECC 6.0 - production environment.
    The client is highlighting  performance issue while accessing the adobe forms for HR and FI business process ( both static and interactive ).
                    Examples are
        FI – Invoice Approvals
                    HR – Job Salary Change
    The client is asking us to provide best practices surrounding:
    1.       How to improve the performance of the adobe forms while accessing in SAP.
    2.       Is there any other technology which we can use in SAP to replace the adobe forms which has better performance factor.
    3.       Are there solutions such as webdynpro floor plan manager, UI Fiori which can be alternately used?
    Regards,

    Hello Priya,
         Adobe forms are easy to develop and much more comfortable than SAP Scripts and Smartforms. Initially they are a bit difficult but once you have your hands on, they are the most simplest things in ABAP.
    Performance in Adobe forms is a mix of both fine tuning the Layout as well as back end coding.
    Performance in Adobe forms cannot be done overnight. A lot of care has to be taken during the initial stage of development.
    As far as my experience is concerned, please consider the below points while developing SAP Adobe forms.
    1) Avoid Scripting (Javascript/Formcalc) as much as possible inside the form. It drastically reduces the performance and makes the form to execute slower. If you still want to use scripting(which cannot be avoided for some requirements), use Formcalc since it is comparatively faster than JavaScript.
    2) Try to avoid the coding inside the Form Interface. You can always handle the maximum coding in the Driver program and pass it to the form.
    3) Use Form Caching.
    For forms that have fixed layout, its a good way to increase the performance of form rendering. In the layout, go to Form Properties. Then Click on Defaults tab and select Allow Form Rendering To Be Cached On Server. Then Click OK.
    For forms that have flowable or dynamic layout, render the forms on the client side because it improves performance.
    Last but not the least, please go through the below post by Otto Gold which is worth a read at least once.

  • Issue with Adobe forms in HCM P&F

    Hi Friends,
      We are using HCM Processes and Forms with Workflow. When the Manager starts the processes from MSS by opening the Adobe form we are getting 3 scroll bars. For this we applied the note 1143512. Even After applying this note the Manager gets 3 scroll bars but when the HR Administrator starts any process he can see only 2 scroll bars. What could be the issue. Is there anywhere we need to pass the Initiator?
       Also after applying that note the size of the Adobe form became small. we tried changing the HRAS_PROCESS iView  Height Type to FULL_PAGE. Still its not working. Please advice if there is any note available for this.
    Rgds,

    This has been answered in this forum many times and I believe someone (Brian?) posted a blog about it. PLEASE SEARCH.
    As for what you are seeing....for MSS/ESS, the "form app" is actually running INSIDE another "window"....that's why it is smaller than when an HR Admin runs it.
    Also, for the Adobe size fix, make sure you user params are set correctly.
    Please search and find the blog about the 3 scrollbars....that will help you.

  • Data Integration issue with Adobe form

    Hi,
    We have been using many xACF forms in our WebDynpro java based application.
    For one of the xACF adobe form sometimes I'm not getting the data from adobe form to webdynpro context.
    Anyone can pls tell what may be the problem other then binding because that part i have already checked and it's working fine in some of the PC.
    Regards
    Ravindra Singh

    Hi Chintan,
    thanks for your reply.
    I tried that part already by converting xACF form to ZCI but facing issues with the drop-downs.
    Actually some of the dropdowns have values more than 1000. The value help for these drop downs comes as pop up in case of ZCI forms and the mazer problem is that in offline scenario doesn't even shows values for such dropdowns as a pop up or normal drop down.
    As per the SAP Note 1013227 we are using the enumerated type of drop downs for such larger values but no help in offline  scenario. I tried by changing the parameter value in visual admin as suggested in sap note which prevents pop-up for lager values but it's not recommended by SAP. Only because of this issue we are not able to migrate from xACF to ZCI.
    Do you have any idea how to get values for such drop downs in offline scenario.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Issues with 1099 form layout for 'IDWTCERT_US_1099MISC1'

    Hi All
    I applied OSS note 1535966 a week ago & we tried to print the 1099 MISC report.  When I use the 'Form 2' option, I am facing 2 issues.
    1. When the vendor master has PO box number, the PO box number overlays on the 'Street address' field.  I have opened a OSS note with SAP to help us.  SAP asked me to apply version 3 of OSS note 1535966 but that did not help.  Not sure if anyone else faced this same issue.
    2. The right side of the form 'IDWTCERT_US_1099MISC1' seems to be cut off by a centimetre.  I did read in some of the forums that this was fixed by OSS note 1546868 but we run ECC 6.0 & when I applied 1546868, it messed up the amount fields in box number 7.  So we cannot use this new OSS note.  But if I print this form using PDF creator, it looks perfect.  I then assumed that I will need to use BASIS help to fix my printer but someone else had already tried this & it did not work for them. 
    Smartforms layout printing diffrent in diffrent printer
    But someone else (Kenneth Goldstein) says he fixed this issue in the following thread with OSS note 1546868.
    USA 1099 Misc - Unable to print forms.
    So I am not sure how to fix this issue. can someone help?
    If anyone faced similar issues & have a solution, please let me know.  If you are still having this issue, let us hope someone here in the forum/SAP is able to help.
    Thanks
    Regards
    Morgan

    Hi Chanh
    I have not come upto the level of testing the file generated with IRS.  Will keep you posted what happens there.
    Shannon,
    Apparently the new version of 1546868 fixes the issue for box number 7.  But if the amounts are huge in box numbers 1 or 3 or 15a (they use these in my client) then the amount overflows to the nearby box.  So we have again opened an issue again with SAP & will keep you posted withwhat SAP comes up with.
    Thanks

  • Problem with Adobe forms layout

    I am trying to create a PDF form using SFP transaction.
    When I switch to 'Layout' tab it is giving error like  'Could not start layout designer(see the long text)'
    I guess the ADS services are not registerd in my system.
    But where I need to check for this?
    additional info: I am using SAP ECC 6.0 latest version
    Please help me

    Hi Chitra,
    Below is the procedure to check ADS in ABAP:
    1. Log on to your SAP Net Weaver AS ABAP.
    2. Call transaction SA38 and enter the name FP_TEST_00.
    3. Choose Execute (F8). A dialog box is displayed.
    4. Enter FP_TEST_00 in the field Form.
    This is displayed as the default form name.
    5. Enter the name of the connection to the ADS. Enter the default name ADS, or, if you have specified another name, the one you are using in your system.
    6. In the dialog box, choose Output in Print Preview.
    7. Enter an appropriate device type in the field Output Device.
    8. Choose Print Preview.
    Hope this helps!!
    Cheers,

  • Item line data not flowing into SAP Adobe form layout

    Hello Gurus,
    I am currently working on adobe form layout for a sales document in SAP, i have created a master page
    as well as a couple of pages in the design view. Data at the header level are working properly, but the item data
    are not flowing into the layout, as nothing appears in the print preview for the item level of the sales document.
    I have done all the necessary binding with all the right field names, my subform to the best of my knowledge seems to be well
    defined, but yet to no avail.
      I would like to know what yet could be the reason for this issue and how i can go about fixing it.
    Thank you.
    Ahm.

    Hi Vijai,
    In our project, we have the same requirement but I am one step behind than you. I am able to generate the PDF form but not able to generate the data. Means all the fields are coming as disabled fields.
    Can you please send your code as a sample code so that I can have a look at that and check where I am doing wrong/missing. My id is sandeep.kamdar in gmail
    Thanks & Regards,

  • When i am trying to Activate an ADOBE Form Layout its "No Vendor specified"

    Hi Friends,
    I have created one interface with one field CARRID.
    By using this interface I have created one simple ADOBE Form layout with one filed CARRID.
    I specified all the properties for this object. Like default value, name etc...
    when i tried to activate the form its showing the status message "No Vendor Specified"
    And its not Activating. it remains as inactivate state.
    Plz Any helps...
    Regards,
    Shree.

    You're going to have to debug to figure out what the actual error message is.  Just do a /h before hitting activate and set a break-point at the "message" abap statement.
    SAP in it's infinite wisdom decided to change message 001 of message class 00 from &&&& to "No Vendor Specified".  They didn't really think that one through though, because the ABAP construct (that SAP uses all over the place)
    message [text] type [type]
    is the equivalent of
    message [type]001(00) with [text]
    Because they changed the contents of the message, this construct (which hasn't been marked as obsolete, interestingly) is essentially worthless.
    The last time I checked, there were a few OSS notes that address the issue - but they are specific  for specific error scenarios changing the way the message is issued.  I haven't seen a fix that changes message 001 of message class 00 back.  But then, it's been a few weeks since I looked.

  • Issue with Adobe maybe?

    Hi,
    So I am having issues with adobe reader.  I work as tech support and someone called in with issues.  His issue is:
    Cannot open forms and enter information then save them back using his program.  The webprogram he is using is JIDS.  JIDS requires that the pdf be opened in the webbrowser.  This is so it can be saved back to their database or whatever. 
    The issue is when he tries to open the document in ie it opens it on his local adobe program not in the browser.  I checked the addons and adobe will not appear there. (in any of the catagories plz do not reply im in the wrong view or whatever)  If I open a force ie to open a pdf nothing appears (makes sense because it says there is no addon).  I have uninstalled and reinstalled adobe multiple times from adobe.com (it is up-to-date) every time says installed successfully.  This is a new computer and does not have older versions on it.  I have removed it using the adobe cleaner then reinstalled no change.  I tried reapplying the acropdf.dll using regsvr32 both in the 32bit and 64 bit locations (\windows\system32\ and \windows\sysWOW64\) and I keep getting an error that says loaded but dllregisterserver error 0x80070005.  which is permissions error, but he is the only admin on the pc(local admin) and has full access, uac is shut off and i was using the cmd in run as administrator mode.
    Since i couldnt find anything else on this I dicided to use firefox since ie and FF are only browsers allowed by JIDS.  I downloaded newest FF and FF does say adobe reader addon is installed, but when i open the pdf in the JIDS program the fields are not editable and it has a popup ontop of the browser saying something about compatability issue and asks me to open with different program (clicking it opens the pdf in the adobe reader program and it is then editable but will not save back to the website, no supprise there).
    He is using windows 7 64bit logging onto a domain.  Using IE9 and updated adobe reader (11.0.03) and newest version of Firefox
    Windows is fully up to date.
    His computer is the exact same model as the one next to it that works perfectly fine and he hasnt done anything that could have messed up the system files (he knows he is bad with computers and doesnt do anything without asking someone else first).  Mostly only uses the webbrowser and another program thats installed on there for him already.
    I plan on installing adobe reader X or possibly older version of IE/FF to see if these might help.  I also will be checking/disabling what he has for AV (i think its just windows security essentials but im not sure will doublecheck). 
    Any other suggestions on things to try?  What is could be causing these issues?

    Probable issue with the Firefox is that in the documentation it is poorly worded poorly,  JIDS only support FF 17.
    What is the issue with IE if that does fix the FF issue?

    SAP_PA backend service EXPECTS either a hardcoded/configured subtype OR a "*" for all available subtypes (which won't work in your case). What you "could" do is get creative with "rules" and check if values are entered, and then if so, do the operation for your subtype.
    What you will need to do, which is what I do a LOT because of issues with SAP_PA is to actually make you update/changes in a backend function module (triggered in workflow). Now, things get a bit more complicated.....
    Priod to EhP3, you could just call the ol' infotype operations function module in your own FM to do the change. However, from EhP3 and onward, you will need to do this via classes (same used by decoupled infotype framework.
    Soooooo......time to get creative with your solution.

  • Adobe forms :Layout

    Hi Gurus,
    I am using Adobe forms for the first time. My requrement is to adjust Adobe form layout.
    Ihave changed the width of Daat field and compliled but still i am not getting desired output.
    My text is overlapping with neighbouring text.
    Plz suggest why my layout changes are not geeting reflected in the PDF output.

    Hi Sachin,
    Put the text fields in the subform.
    Select the subform and go to object pallette and make the content of the subform as "Flowed".
    You can also select the Flow Direction from the second dropdown.
    In layout tab, select the Auto-Fit checkbox for width and height.
    Hope this will help.
