Can anyone explain me the step by step procedure or codes to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Otto,
The post was really very helpful... here is my code please say me whether is it correct or not.....

Faxing adobe pdf forms using actions in CRM service process

Hi experts,
Does anybody has experience in sending adobe PDF forms as a fax using actions in CRM service processes? Currently I use this by implementing a PPF BAdI, but what else configuration, software and hardware requirements I need to make faxing work in CRM?
Is it possible to use 3rd party software to send the fax for example winfax and transfer the fax number to this?
Regards:
Gabor

Dear Dezso,
As far as I remember, we already know each other
Our company have been using winfax in the past for sending fax messages. Now that they will use SAP-CRM shall they buy a new fax server? I have looked after Topcall, it might be useful with RFC?
In CRM service order, I use the EXEC_METHODCALL_PPF BAdI implementation to collect the data from the service order, and then use the standard function modules to "print" or "fax" the PDF document (call function FM_NAME).
At this function module, which structure do I neet to enter the recipient's fax number (I read somewhere that I have to use DEVICE='TELEFAX' in the output_options - is it true?) ?
Or should I communicate from the BAdI with Business Communication Services (create recipient and similar methods)?
Is there any way to send the fax from the local machine where the user uses the SAP GUI?
Thank you very much in advance for your help and support!
Gabor

Re: Interactive Adobe PDF forms

Hi,
In interactive Adobe PDF forms only two events are give such as OnCheck and OnSubmit. Is it possible to use other events appart from check and submit.If so how to use it and where to code it.
Is Interactive pdf forms are ment for these two purposes only.
Thanks and regards .
Karthik

Hi
The other events you may need would be mostly for field level validations. The adobe framework allows one to write javascripts. Every UI element on the Adobe will have its own set of events. For eg say u want to fill a dropdown frm a RFC when an other UI in the form is clicked and you choose not to use the oncheck or submit action, here is the way:
Make the RFC a webservice, call the webservice using javascript in the onclick action of UI element 1. Similarly you can use other events to fill, validate and manipulate data. Finally once all that is done submit the data to SAP. Hope it helps. Thank you.

ADOBE pdf Forms upload on EP

Hi,
Can somebody pls tell me the steps to upload ADOBE pdf Forms on Eportal...
We have a requirement in which the user can download the pdf forms from EP & upload it again on EP doing some changes in pdf.
Thanks in Advance,
Nikesh Shah

Hi Nikesh,
As per your description you would like to use the PDF forms to update data in the CRM system. In that case you will be required to create a Webdynpro application which will work with some RFF/BAPI which will update data in the CRM tables.
To use Adobe forms you need to have Adobe LiveCycle Designer installed and configured with SAP EP Server.
The option you currently use is not linked to any backend system and that file is being stored in the KM repository of the EP server.
Please visit the following link for more details:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/b7/64348655fb46149098d95bdca103d0/frameset.htm

Adobe PDF form / submit sutton does nothing in Safari 5.1.2

Hi,
We display embedded Acrobat PDF forms containing a submit button in Safari.
If I press "submit" nothing happens, this worked some Safari versions before.
My Adobe Reader is: Adobe Reader X, Version 10.1.1
My Safari version is 5.1.2, I removed and reinstalled it, still does not work.
Reading this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8302233/pdf-submit-a-form-button-safari
"I contacted Adobe again, and their technical support was more helpful.
It is a known issue, and Adobe suggests using a different browser, or downgrade to Safari 5.0.1.
Adobe will soon issue a patch for this to work with Safari 5.1.1.
Well, I have 5.1.2 and this does not seam to be fixed yet.
Downgrading my Safari version to 5.0.1 made the Adobe PDF forms work again with Safari, the submit button does something.
Does anybody have some information about this? Is there another way to solve this issue then to downgrade to version 5.0.1 ?
Thanks for helping
huba

Hello,
I'm experiencing the same issue and wondered if you have any news re this problem or have found some workaround ?
I've performed tests on all verions of Safari 5.1.x including the latest 5.1.4 and unfortunately the bug still exists.
Thanks in advance for your consideration and any help!

Problems with Adobe PDF forms in Web Dynpro Java

As of now , I have two major issues in developing Adobe PDF forms in Web Dynpro Java .
1.Text getting wrapped and repeated from the first line :
Any text field that flows to the next page gets wrapped at the end of the page and is again printed on the next page beginning from the first line .
For eg:
If I have 4 lines in a text field that is at the end of the page
1111111111111111111111
2222222222222222222222
3333333333333333333333
4444444444444444444444
and the page holds space for only two lines it prints the lines
1111111111111111111111
2222222222222222222222
in the first page and then proceeds to the next page and prints
1111111111111111111111
2222222222222222222222
rather than printing
3333333333333333333333
4444444444444444444444
2.No way to hide a page at runtime:
It is not possible to hide a page in a PDF form at runtime . If scripting is used , the page turns into a blank page but not hidden .
Any pointers on this????????
Helpful answers will be suitably rewarded with points!!!!

Yes,I am using the versions that you mentioned.
I have a node called MasterData which is the root node for my PDF Form.I have a node called GenData inside this node whose ctx_Appraisal_Type_Num attribute is bound to a hidden TextField in my form.In the docReady event of this TextField, I am writing the following FormCalc script to hide my SubForm whose Id is MngrCmptnc
if(MasterData.GenData.ctx_Appraisal_Type_Num == "2")
then
MasterData.MngrCmptnc.presence = "visible"
MasterData.MngrCmptnc.MngrCmptnc.presence = "visible"
MasterData.StrImp.presence = "visible"
else
MasterData.MngrCmptnc.presence = "hidden"
MasterData.MngrCmptnc.MngrCmptnc.presence = "hidden"
MasterData.StrImp.presence = "hidden"
endif

How to dynamically assign Display Pattern using FormCalc in Adobe PDF Form

I am using Adobe PDF Form Designer. I am trying to dynamically assign a display pattern like MM/DD/YYYY to the Field tab - Display Pattern property. May I know how to do that?
I am using FormCalc scripting.

hi,
After placing the date field in layout from data view, u will get tabs like field,layout,border etc..
In field tab under the edit pattern specify the pattern in which you want to display the date field.
hope this works.

Need to cancel my Adobe PDF Pack subscription

I just need to cancel my Adobe PDF Pack subscription, as I already bought Adobe Acrobat Pro IX. I have been on chat and on the phone with Customer Support for a couple of times, hours at a time. No response. I am ready to call my credit card to dispute the charge, as I have left with no options. Any suggestions?

If I already subscribe to Adobe creative suite, do I also need to subscribe to Adobe PDF pack?

If I already subscribe to Adobe creative suite, do I also need to subscribe toe Adobe PDF pack?

Hi andersonma,
Do you have Acrobat as part of your subscription? If so, Adobe PDF Pack would be unnecessary. The features that Adobe PDF Pack offers (create, combine, convert PDF files) are available in Acrobat.
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Best,
Sara

Adobe PDF Form: Include text in table

Hi,
Im kinda new to Adobe Forms, and this may seem like a very basic question.
I have copied a standard SAP VAT invoice adobe form and Im making changes to it.
I have added an "include text" (which has multiple lines) to an already existing table with multiple columns.
The problem is that while the include text prints correctly when it expands, the entire table does not expand along with it.
So when the include text goes into many lines, it exceeds the table boundary and overwrites other areas of the form.
The table layout is like this .
Column1                Column2 Column3 Column4 Column5 Column6
Inc text                    50$        1.00       PAID       DELIV
Many Lines       -
Line3
Line4
Line5
Is there any grouping or somehting that i have to do?
Thanks,
John

Basically, you need to create a pdf form.
Add a text field to your form.
There you can choose which font your want the text to appear in.
The trick is, when you export from InDesign, in the "Advanced Tab" — set "Subset fonts when percentage…" to 0%, so the whole font embeds.'
I believe there's an option in Acrobat to embed the font as well, but I'm not recalling what it it.
But that will ensure the font appears correctly.

1、Adobe Reader can edit and save Pdf forms,can add signature and barcode;
2、I upload pdf file by web upload or by email or copy files；
3、My back-end system(J2EE,Weblogic or Tomcat) receive pdf files ，then extract XML datas from PDF by SDK(Adoble supply ？).
question:

2、Adobe supply SDK of extracting XML datas from PDF?

You need to buy LC Forms for this use case. LC forms contains the API to extract data in XML format from the PDF.
