Merging or Assemble SAP PDF forms

Hello Gurus,
I have a requirement to group all invoice forms to a single PDF.I went through the SAP program FP_CHECK_BATCH_PDF_RETURN for grouping documents.
In my case the business want to use tcode : VF31 for printing. I am using sap standard driver program : SD_INVOICE_PRINT01 for printing invoices.
What are the solutions available as I am really struggling to start.
Thanks.

Hi Vishnu
Below are the parameters that i have passed.
     fp_outputparams-getpdf     = 'M'.
     fp_outputparams-connection = cl_fp=>get_ads_connection( )..
     fp_outputparams-bumode     = 'M'.
     fp_outputparams-assemble = abap_true.
CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'    .....
CALL FUNCTION 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'    for Form1..
CALL FUNCTION 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'    for form2
CALL FUNCTION fm_name1    CALL FUNCTION fm_name2
CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_CLOSE'
CALL FUNCTION 'FP_GET_PDF_TABLE'
    IMPORTING
      e_pdf_table = lt_pdf.
DATA: e_pdf TYPE xstring.
READ TABLE lt_pdf INTO e_pdf INDEX 1.
Using above i was able to Merge 2 or more forms ... but this was not allowing me to edit the PDF even though i had editable fields.
So i had use another way, Attach additional forms into 1 PDF in the ATTACHMENT section of the PDF , this allowed me display the form with all properties.
After calling forms ...
   lv_des = cl_fp=>get_ads_connection( ).
* Get FP reference.
      lo_fp = cl_fp=>get_reference( ).
*     Create PDF Object.
      lo_pdfobj = lo_fp->create_pdf_object( connection = lv_des ).
*     Set document.
          lo_pdfobj->set_document( pdfdata = lv_xdata ).
          ls_attachment-mimetype    = 'application/pdf'.
          CONCATENATE lv_title '.' INTO ls_attachment-name    SEPARATED BY space.
          ls_attachment-description = ls_attachment-name.
          ls_attachment-data = ls_pdf-pdf .
          CONCATENATE ls_pdf-formname 'pdf' INTO ls_attachment-filename SEPARATED BY '.'.
          INSERT ls_attachment INTO TABLE lt_attachments.
          lo_pdfobj->set_attachments( attachments = lt_attachments ).
          lo_pdfobj->execute( ).
          lo_pdfobj->get_pdf( IMPORTING pdfdata = ev_pdf_xstring ).

Help: How to merge excel data onto PDF form

What steps do i need to take in order to merge excel data into my form. I'm currently looking into pulling the following fields from excell and merge them into my form:
Employee name
Employee ID#
Position Title
Supervisor
I been browsing around LiveCycle Designer and haven't stumble upon this feature yet.
Thank you for your time and really looking for some help out there.
Edit: I want to create 600 records containing the information above out of my one form. That way i don't have to sit here and do i form for each employee one at the time.

Good afternoon Mr. Niall,
Well i already created the XML file so that is ready to go, just been trying to figure out how execute a merge and create 600 records one for each employee.
I was looking into exporting the PDF file into word and that way i could execute this merge much more easily but i don't think i have the capabilities to do so.

When merging data into a PDF form, can it create a new form for every record in your data set?

I have a vendor database that I want to use to populate a pre-created PDF form in Adobe Pro XI. I figured out how to rename the form data fields and how import the data from my data set but can't figure out how to have it create another copy of the form for the next record in the data set.... if its even possible. Any help is appreciated!

This can be achieved with a mail-merge type script.

Hiding field in SAP PDF form

Hi Experts,
I am hiding a field in PDF form.
But the problem is , form reserving space for that field after field hidden.
Could any body tell how we can remove that space if we hidden the field.
regards,
subba
Edited by: Shaik Basha on May 14, 2009 2:05 AM

Hi,
You have an option in for the field you want to hide in Palettes - > Object where you have mentioned it as invisible
Instead of Invisible make it as Hidden (Exclude from Layout) so your space will not get reserved and it will not be printed on the form also..
Hope this is what you have asked for.
If not please explain the requirement more clearly.
Thanks&Regards

Merging FDF data into PDF form

Hello all.
To fill pdf form we use such url:
http://server/form.pdf#FDF=http://server/get_xfdf
So as result will be opened pd form in browser and filled with received data.
This works in all browsers except Safari.
Tested on FF 3.5, IE6, IE7, IE8, Opera, Chrome.
What can be the reason? Why Safari don't want load xfdf/fdf data?
Additional info can be found here (chapter 5): http://www.aces.edu/ctu/techref/software/acrobat/5.x/FormSys.pdf
Thanks in advance, Andron.

No worries,
I've done this elsewhere and it seems to work quite well -
please bear with me though as the page this code is from handles
multiple documents so I've tried to cut that stuff out to make it
easier for you..
<cfset downloadroot=
"C:\inetpub\wwwroot\site\whatever">
<cfset dirName = createuuid()>
<cfset downloadDir = "#downloadroot#\#dirName#">
<cfdirectory action="CREATE" directory="#downloadDir#">
//okay, you're temp dir is now created...
<cfset documents="C:\blah wherever your secured documents
are stored">
<cfset filename="whateverthe name is of the file you are
allowing download of.doc">
//run a cfdirectory list - or fileexists() to check if the
document exists
<cfdirectory action="LIST" directory="#documents#"
filter="#filename#" name="checkDocument">
<cfif checkDocument.recordcount gt 0>
<cffile action="COPY" source="#documents#\#filename#"
destination="#downloadDir#\#filename#">
<a href="#downloadDir#/#filename#">#filename#</a>
</cfif>
You might need to play around with your directory variables,
regarding / vs \ usage in them, maybe have one dir var for system
usage eg: uses \ and one for the final HTML safe one eg: /
Hope it works for ya champ!

Merge data to existing PDF form?

Been searching for this for awhile and cant seem to get an
example that works. I have an existing PDF form with fields
defined. What I need to do is populate this form with data from an
existing query. I've seen examples saying that I need to export the
FDF and use it in CF, but for the life of me, I cant find how to
export it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
-Ron

There's a better way than using FDF's now that CF runs off of
java. I remember reading on Ben Forta's site about a neat CF
wrapper he wrote for using java objects to write to form fields on
PDFs. sounds like they're bundling it into the next CF version. I
wish I had a url for you, but I'm sure a few searches on ben's site
should turn something up.
P.S. its WAY easier to deal with than the FDF file format!!
Hope that helps.

SAP PDF FORM versions

Hi,
We had some issues with PDF form. We applied support pack. This support pack fixed issues we had with the form.
Then I made some changes to this PDF form which lead to some errors. So I reverted to the previous version on the Version Management of this form. This took us back to the version before we applied support pack and we got back the errors.
Now is there any way to bring back the fixes done by the support pack?? Or the version that exists in Support pack? This form is in component EA-HR.
Please help...

Hi,
You have an option in for the field you want to hide in Palettes - > Object where you have mentioned it as invisible
Instead of Invisible make it as Hidden (Exclude from Layout) so your space will not get reserved and it will not be printed on the form also..

How to use ADS on SolMan instance and SAP standard PDF forms from ERP

Hi there
We have installed and configurated the ADS service on our Solution Manager (SolMan) Instance called SD1.
SolMan Info: SAP Solution Manager 7.0; Stack 17; Java-Stack installed; SAP Netweaver 7.0
All ADS test reports can be executed successfully:
FP_TEST_00
FP_PDF_TEST_00
We have linked our ERP landscape (e.g. system ED1) to ADS service running on SolMan.
ERP Info: ECC 6.0; Stack 13; no Java-Stack installed
All ADS test reports can be executed successfully:
FP_TEST_00
FP_PDF_TEST_00
We want to print PDF documents from SAP standard applications on our ERP landscape. Therefore we want to use standard PDF forms provided by SAP and also available in transaction SFP (e.g. form ISSR_NW670_RX_PDF).
Problem: When we try to create a PDF document from the application we get an error message:
Processing exception during a "Render" operation.#Request start time: Mon Feb 02 13:42:08 CET 2009#com.adobe.ProcessingException: Problem accessing data from Destination: dest:FP_ICF_DATA_ED1//sap/bc/fp/form/layout/ISSR_NW605_PDF.XDP?fp-language=DE&fp-cac
I have also checked the trace (see below) and it seems that the system tries to get the form from the SolMan system and not from the ERP system. But the form is only installed on ERP system.
Are there any ideas how to solve this problem?
Thanks.

Hi there
Our problem is solved. We had a problem with our ADS user passwords.
Thanks.

Merging Smartform Output and Adobe Form Output in a single PDF File

Hi All,
My Requirement is as follows -
I have multiple Smartforms and a single Adobe Form.
I want to merge the Smartform Outputs and Adobe Form output in a single PDF.
I am able to merge multiple Smartform Output in a PDF , but not able to find any way to merge smartform and adobe form output as the Smartform output is in OTF Format and Adobe form output is in PDF Format itself.
I have tried few ways , but could not find any success.
Request you all to give me some direction to this problem.
Thanks & Regards
Bhavika

Kumar,
I am afraid this is not possible using SAP functionality. There are probably 3rd party tools which allow you to merge several PDFs into one, but SAP itself does not offer such a mechanism. There is an internal SAP function, though, which can merge several "parts" (=several PDFs) within an Adobe-created spool request into a single PDF, intended for downloading this PDF from SP01.
This is described in note 1717357.
Best regards,
Alexander

Is there a way to merge Static PDF files and PDF Forms

Hi All,
The issue I am facing is this: 1200+ PDF forms that employees
will need to sign. The docs are being created in MS Word, and all
have a standard signature block. We have prototyped using LiveCycle
Designer 8 to add fields to static PDF files (print Word files into
Acrobat, import into LiveCycle and paste in fields) but this is
pretty labor-intensive to use with a minimum of 1200 forms per
quarter.
The employee forms go into a CF8/Oracle library app (stored
as BLOBs) and served up for 7,000 or so employees to sign. Posted
data goes back into database.
Here is the issue:
Does anyone know any way to use some combination of cfpdf /
cfpdfform / cfdocument that will allow us to create ONE generic
signature block form, 1200 static PDF files, and merge them on the
fly?
<cfdocument> apparently does not allow PDF data to be
included with a <cfpdfform>, as I have tried outputting PDF
variables, toBinary(PDF variable), PDF served by <cfcontent>
and various other combinations.
(If the non-form data were HTML, we could easily output in a
<cfdocumentsection> of the cfdocument, and add the
<cfpdfform source="#genericForm#" action="populate"> and be
done with it. But, we can't.)
<cfpdf action="merge"> with a combination of a static
PDF file and a populated form results in a flattend PDF file with
no form data.
I am acutely aware that LiveCycle 8 uses the XFA schema, and
regular PDF documents use a different schema. And, this may
prohibit what we want to do.
If anyone has experience with CF8 PDFs and PDF forms, or has
any helpful thoughts, I would be appreciatively gross. Needless to
say, this is a six month project that must be live at the end
November.
Thanks!

As I mentioned on the other thread, the forms need to be
flattened. CFPDF cannot flatten LiveCycle forms, only Acrobat
Forms. The suggested solution was to use LiveCycle ES

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:
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.
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

Hi Pavan,
I am getting PDF form properly in browser with no values in the fields as it should be. And i have provided one User entered field, When user enters sales order number in that field and presses the submit to sap button other fields rerlated with sales order status information should be displayed with the values related with that sales order number. But after pressing Submit to SAP button i didnt get values in other fields.
Method for Submit to SAP button is also called properly. Even i can see the status information in fields outside the PDF form in Browser.
So, parheps i think that whenever PDF form loads first time in browser, at that time it shows the values in the context variable. But after first load nothing is changed in that PDF form evenif the context values are changed.
Is it true?

Bhavik
