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.

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.

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
Ravindra Singh

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,
Sakthi

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.

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.

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?

PHP mail issues with Muse Forms

I've been trying to findout why my forms are not being sent from my Muse forms. I have spoken with Adobe through the forums and they tell me it's an issue with my Hosting, I've soken with my Hosting, and they said it's an issue with Adobe Muse forms. The bottom line is, I'm in the middle, with forms still not sending.
The latest information I have had back from my Hosting company - UKFast:
EMAIL 1:
Regarding your issue: I'm able to see from the logs on the server that the mail service is up and running and listening for mail connections. Furthermore, I have placed a simple PHP mailer script in /root/testmail.php which sends a quick test message to my mailbox here at UKFast.
I can see that when sending a message through this script, the message passes through your server correctly and is successfully delivered to my mailbox. Here's an example from the logs:
2013-06-27 10:49:35 cwd=/root 3 args: /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i
2013-06-27 10:49:35 1Us8pb-0001RE-LQ <= [email protected] U=root P=local S=437 T="Test mail" for [email protected]
2013-06-27 10:49:35 cwd=/var/spool/exim 3 args: /usr/sbin/exim -Mc 1Us8pb-0001RE-LQ
2013-06-27 10:49:55 1Us8pb-0001RE-LQ => <my email> R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp H=mx02.filter.magicmail.co.uk [81.201.128.59]
2013-06-27 10:49:55 1Us8pb-0001RE-LQ Completed
To better advise of the cause to your issue, would you be able to provide some accurate time and dates for messages that you have tried to send. With that information, I should be able to pinpoint the message sending attempts in the logs and hopefully unearth the underlying issue stopping the mail going through for you.
EMAIL 2:
I have just tested your script for you and it seems the form does not push to the mailqueue as it should.
We have managed to establish that Mail is working on the server and PHP can push to it, as per Joe's previous response, thus this is looking like an issue with the code of the page.
Can someone from Adobe please respond to this, UKFast are saying it's not them, and to be honest, I did run your PHP server test on my server and it scored 3 ticks, all working. So whats going on? I neeed the form function, can someone make it work, or tell me whats needed on my server to make it work.

I am facing same issue. Even my host provider could not help me. All my inputs are corrent.
Some php specialist told me, you have to write smtp details in php. I am using muse because I do not know any coding.
What is SQL configuration and how to fix this form issue. Expection some guidence from Muse experts...

I don't know if this is the right section but I experience the following issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 8.1. When I start Acrobat the related window opens normally but, after some scroll up and down along the document, it blocks, Acrobat doesn't respond to any command I can give and, in place of the pointer arrow, a vertical bar, as the one of the text editor appears. The only way I can stop Acrobat is by means of the task manager. I tried to de-install and the re- install Acrobat but the behaviour is always the same. What can I do??

Have you opened Acrobat and gone to Help>Updates to get an updated install?

Having major issues with Adobe Media Encoder (AME) - exporting with weird image flickering/colour anomalies, crashing regularly, freezing during encode...!

Hi Guys
I am having some real issues with Adobe Media Encoder (AME) at the moment. It appears that I am unable to encode an h.264 for Vimeo from a Premiere Pro Project file at the moment without at least some weird image issues that are not supposed to be there. These include weird flickering, colour changes, artefacts etc. This is if I am lucky...often I am unable to get the process to complete as the application either crashes and tells me there has been a problem or it simply freezes and I have to force quit the application and often restart my machine.
The problem seems to not to just be with h.264 for the web encodes but also with BluRay h.264 as well. As yet I haven't seen if there is a problem with MPEG-2 for DVD so I will check this out too!
Does anyone else see this happening or does anyone know what might be the problem?
I thought the Premiere Pro project might have been corrupt so tried a different project but the same issues were happening here too.
Any help would be really gratefully received.
Cheers
EDIT - I have just found this online which is exactly the problem I am having! Thanks a bloody bunch Apple! 10.9.3 causing headaches for Mac Pro users | MacIssues
Message was edited by: Alex Cameron

Agreed, I now have a project to GET OUT, and AME crashes consistently 1/3 into the render. It appears to halt all processing after (real time) 00:02:30
Am seriously considering uninstalling CC as I am beginning to find other issues in some apps, and going back to CS6/MC just so I can get work out. Durn it Adobe this is AWFUL!!
Alright, let's try to be constructive instead of throwing rocks... but the frustration level is high, and I have material on deadline. Let's get with this, guys...
What OS Win7, 64-bit
What version of AME/PPro (Please be specific by getting the full version number in the About Adobe Media Encoder screen) 8.2.0.54 Ppro: 8.2.0 (65)
When is it crashing (Again, the more detail here about where it was in the encoding process the better) roughly 1/3 into the sequence, always on exactly the same frame - tried replacing the clip with something different to see if it was a timeline error, and NO EFFECT.
What is your source (PPro project or media file (what kind?)) PPro
If the source if a PPro project, does it work when exporting directly from PPro? NO
What format are you exporting to? H.264, QT, WM, tried everything my client can play.
Do other formats work? MPEG2, QuickTime, etc? NO
Have you tried with GPU rendering on? How about turning it off by switching to Software-only mode? Mine doesn't have any choice, it's software-only.
Have you tried disabling Native Sequence Loading? (AME Preferences: General > Enable Native Sequence Loading) No effect
Other things I tried: uninstalling/reinstalling AME, setting cache to a fast local disk.

Issues with Adobe Professional 9

Hi
We are facing some issues with Adobe Professional 9,
The problems are as follows while converting the DOC file to PDF using Adobe Proff 9.
1) Bullets are missing
2) Crossreferences are not working
3) adding junk characters in header.
Can you please help me on this.
We need to understand the issue.
Manohar S S

Just some stray thoughts on the topic:
Use Adobe PDFMaker to create the PDF from the MS Word file.
When a MS Word cross-reference is inserted, ensure that "Insert as hyperlink" is ticked in the Cross-reference dialog.
In the configuration of Adobe PDFMaker's Preferences, ensure "Add Links" is ticked (under the Settings tab).
Ensure that the installed Acrobat (and associated Adobe PDFMaker) is working with a compatible version of Office.
See: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333504.html
For all characters used in the source MS Word file; ensure that the characters used provide proper mapping to Unicode.
Do not use characters that rely upon a restricted character value.
When using Word Headings/Styles that incorporate the bullet character, ensure you work from those that are "built-in" to MS Word.
If you are working out of Windows 7 / Office 2010 you need to move up to Acrobat X.
Be well...

Viewing issue with Adobe Reader

Hi there,
I'm having an issue with Adobe reader, which appears to be not related to platform or version. To cut a long story short. I've created an A4 design in Photoshop. Part of this design includes some boxes, that have been given an outline (border) effect. Also bare in mind that the Photoshop files are being created at 350dpi.
When I put my design into Illustrator/ InDesign and then generate a PDF file. I then go and look at the pdf file and when the zoom is at 100%, the edges of the boxes are not straight, you'll get a slight offset half way along for example. However, when I zoom in to 400% the problem disapears and the lines (edges) look perfectly as they should.
Does anyone know about this issue? I'm worried that when I print from the PDF, this issue will be in the print-out - or will it be OK when I print it seeming as it dissapears at 400% zoom.
Any prompt answers or help would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Luke

Can you open Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

PCR with Adobe forms for MySAP ERP2004 / NW04 SP9

Hi all,
We would like to use the MSS PCR functionality with Adobe forms. Since we are using NW04 SP9 and MySAP ERP2004 (ECC5.0), we cannot use the Adobe forms yet.
SAP said this functionality will be released today (15/11).
I am wondering what we need to upgrade to get this working. Is this a bug in ECC, in Adobe Forms, WebDynpro (BP for MSS) or a PCUI_GP bug?
regards,
Noel

Hi Heike,
Good to know these forms are only available in German and English. I assume we can translate them ourselves and use them.
We tried to get the 2 scenarios working, but every time we run into a problem: "Template could not be read from the backend". For this we already created a customer message, but it takes quite a while for an answer. Not strange, since it is new and hot technology
We have 2 servers now: One is the application server (with WebDynpro, R/3 backend, ECC50) - Java and ABAP stack installed (AIX).
On the other server we have running the portal and Adobe Document Server. This runs only on a Java stack (NT).
In the Adobe Configuration Guide we ran against a problem configuring the DestinationService (Basic authentication on the ABAP side). On the Java/ABAP server (server 1) we need to configure the com.adobe/AdobeDocumentService classes (security). Since Adobe is installed on server 2 (without the ABAP stack), we cannot configure the basic authentication properly (if we follow the guideliness).
Regards,
Noel
