Migrate an Adobe form from sfp into developer studio
Hello,
does anyone know if there is a way to migrate an Adobe print-form out of the SFP-transaction into the Netweaver developer studio? (so that it can be integrated into a web dynpro)
I know it is possible if the forms are designed in the Adobe Designer as a stand-alone application..
And I have also already tried downloading the form as an xml-file from the SFP-transaction and then renaming it .xdp to be able to import it into the designer.
But I noticed in the xml file that the SFP-transaction generates items that makes the template useless for other applications.

Adobe Reader (which is showing you your PDF even inside SAP) has built in function allowing to scale document to the size of paper in the printer. But this is function of Adobe Reader (not the form itself) and can help only if you are ready for some "help" from the user at the time of printing.
If you want to do it directly (without user intervention), than I'm afraid there are no built-in function for page scaling inside PDF. But you can include two master pages of different sizes in the design of your Adobe form and choose one of them during form generation according to your needs. Please have a look at my old post [here|Is it possible to trigger the pages differently; on how to do it.

Adobe forms from scratch - Standard programs?
Hi,
I have just begun trying to implement Adobe forms from scratch at my company. Previosly we have used an external printing solution so I can't convert anything. My plan is to create a new output medium and let the users select the new type by themself. But I have a couple of questions:
1. How do I create a new medium (Examples: Print output/Fax/Telex, as found in t-code NACT - Processing routines)
2. I guess there are SAP standard printing programs, interfaces and forms, but I can't find them. I need to be able to print all the usual docs from orders, deliveries and invoices. All I have in NACT are old home-made (Z*) programs so if you know what SAP think we should use now, please let me know!
We have ERP6 ehp4 on netweaver 7 ehp1 and I have created one "Adobe form" myself so I can confirm that it works. but I don't want to invent the wheel twice...
Thanx in advance!
Br Linus HellsingHi Linus,
I was wondering if you had a moment to comment on an opportunity that I am having regarding Adobe forms development efforts?
If so, please read on:
Our offshore team has worked on a development effort to replace Smart Forms PO's and Contracts with Adobe forms. They created new output types for these Adobe forms. In testing I noticed that the only way I can get them to print - is if I go into Print Preview and print -or- use SP01 and click on the .pdf icon and print. In both cases it uses Adobe Acrobat to perform the actually printing.
We cannot seem to get them to print using the normal SAP message utility. Our users would expect to continue to:
1. Use the Messages button while in the PO document - and select the new output type along with Meduim= Printed Output...
2. Then they select Further data button - to specify Send Immediately.
3. Then they use the Communication Method tab and specify the Logical Destination (as LOCL) and click on the Check box for Print immediately.
They get what appears to be an rambling of Adobe error lines followed by many blank pages....
At this point I am not sure if the print program is working correctly - or if the problem is with Adobe Document Services?
Have you ever encountered a situation like this during your Adobe development efforts?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Call standard adobe form from a WD application
Hi All,
I have a requirement of displaying a standard adobe form from a click of a button in a WDA portal,

Standard sapscript form migration to adobe form
Hello guys,
Is it possible to migrate standard SAP Script forms to adobe forms?
If yes then please let me know how ?Hi,
It is possible, but not simple.
You first have to migrate the SAPscript to Smartforms, then the Smartform to adobe forms. However, there are significant differences between the way SAPscript works compared to Smartforms so there are always manual changes needed after the migration. Then there are differences between Smartforms and adobe forms, so more manual changes are needed.
Once you've done all this it could have been easier to build an adobe form from scratch, based on the design of you SAPscript.

Call XML Schema based Adobe form from ABAP Program
Hi,
I have a scenario where an online Interactive form is designed and its working fine. Now i have a requirement to call the same Adobe form from a report for viewing purpose. Since it is XML Schema based Interface, is it possible to call the same form instead of creating a new one with the same template? Because i tried to call the same Adobe form by passing the values and converting those to XML(By Creating Transformation). Then i converted the XML to XSTRING and passed to the Generated Function Module for Input paramter "/1bcdwb/docxml". This resulted in an error "com.adobe.ProcessingException: com.adobe.Processin".
Please help me out in solving this and check the attachment for code.
Thanks,
RajHi,
outputparams-NODIALOG = 'X'.
outputparams-PREVIEW = 'X'.
outputparams-dest = 'LP01'. "give ur printer name.
CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
CHANGING
ie_outputparams = outputparams
EXCEPTIONS
cancel = 1
usage_error = 2
system_error = 3
internal_error = 4
OTHERS = 5.
and Now call the generated function module
pass the following in docparams
docparams-langu = 'E'.
docparams-country = 'US'.
and finally close the job.
It should work.
Please let me know if u need further details.

Default email subject for Adobe Form from Netweaver Guided Procedure
Hi everyone.
When we generate an Adobe form from a Netweaver Guided Procedure, a default subject of "Interactive Form {xxxxxxxx}" is used where xxxxxxxx is the Process ID of the Guided Procedure. Is this default subject configurable? Where can I change it?
If we define a custom email template for the form, the subject of the email becomes our custom subject concatenated with the Process ID. Where is it defined that the Process ID must be included in the email subject?
Thanks,
.. CraigHello,
I have no experience regarding the table of pictures, but you could try a workaround if you don´t insist of displaying the images. You could attach the pictures as attachments (you know, the little attachments icon on the left in your Reader). The ABAP coding for this can be found in SE38 FP_* and when you check the descriptions you should be able to find the one working with the attachments.
Would be better than nothing I guess,

I post the comment of Shamila because I have the same problem
I need to place an image in the Adobe form based on the url.
I have written the following formcalc script in the image field form ready action
ImageField1.value.image.href = "http://www.adobe.com/imageshome/pdfgift_home.gif"
But when i view the form , the image field is empty, and when i click on the blank space of the image field, a popup appears to select the image............
How can i show the image from url in the form..........
Regards,Hello,
have you checked these basics documents?
When you need to send a picture into the offline form: another image question - using Regular ABAP not web dynpro and Display a logo dynamically in adobe form

Offline Adobe Interactive form from SFP ( ABAP )
Hi all,
I searched on sdn but could not get a firm answer for following questions :
1. Is it possible to use digital signature on offline forms - for which inbound processing is done by sap mail on ABAP side?
2. What all data sources ( like webservice ) is possible if I develop from SFP ?
3. If I use webservice - how can I map webservice interface to context?
Thanks and regards,
Amit.Hi Otto,
Thanks for your inputs.
Let me clarify my questions further :
For question 1 - What I am asking here - Are there standard ABAP API's available for veryfying Adobes digital signatures ?
For question 2 - When we enter in ALD via SFP - some data connection options are disabled. Also there is no option for RESTful service/ secure wsdl connection - are they supported with ALD 8.1 ?
Thanks and regards,

Adobe Forms in SFP + JAVA Webdynpro
Hello All,
I would like to know if this is possible.
1) I create a PDF form in Transaction Code 'SFP' using the SAP Gui.
2) I create another RFC which call the FMs to display the PDF form created in step1.
3) In my JAVA webdynpro I call the RFC created in step 2.
Will this work ? Will the PDF form I designed in T.Code SFP be visible in the Java Webdynpro if I embed it into an RFC ? Has anyone tried this before ?
Thanks,
ShruthiHi,
I think it is possible to access the adobe forms created in SFP from Webdynpro JAVA.
I'm not exactly sure on how to access it, but in one of the standard SAP WD JAVA DC (paasrformstep), SAP used the same concept. I believe that they are trying to access the form template using the function module ISR_GET_FORM_URL. If you can dig more into this DC you will find some answers.
