Offline ADOBE form on Portal

Hi All,
We have developed offiline ADOBE forms using ABAP (not in dynpro). Now we want to put this forms or deploy these formal on portal.
Any idea how this can be done. Do we need to use NWDS to upload these forms or can they uploaded using Iviews.
Regards
Shakti

Hi Shakti,
If you are using ECC 6.0 then you can use WD ABAP to deploy it to portal and if its below ECC 6.0 then use NWDS and develop a WD Java application. In case some portal workflow is required and you don't want to use Web Dynpro then you can use Guided Procedures on Portal to use your form for offline scenario in which a mail with pdf form as an attachment is sent to the user, user fills it and sends back to the sender's ID and the GP will automatically read the contents of the form to process it into R/3 database.

Integrating Offline adobe form in Portal

Hi All,
I created offline adobe form using SFP tcode.
This form needs to be integrated in Portal. When user logs in, he/she should be able to open this form.
Can offline adobe form can be integrate to portal directly? or do we need to create the Webdynpro applications only for poral?
Please let me know whether we can integarate offline adobe form to portal directly. If not why?.. I don't know about portal.
Thank you!
Prasad

Hi Deepika,
This discussion thread is all about integrating a WebDynpro application which contains adobe form into portal.
I assume your requirement is different which needs to upload an offline adobe form into portal.
There are documents available to explain this functionality in detail. Please note down the following.
1) For uploading adobe form should be XML schema based.
2) There should be a webdynpro application with uploader UI element which has been integrated into the portal.
3) On form upload, you will get all the data associated with the form within webdynpro
Thanks & Regards,

INBOUND MAIL PROCESSING in SAP for Offline ADOBE FORM Concept

Hi to all,
Please can anyone tell me, what INBOUND MAIL PROCESSING in SAP for Offline ADOBE FORM?
What is concept and how to use it, is any program need to write for that or only need to configure it.
I have searched the SDN, but only get topic how to configure inbound mail processing.
I am new to this area; please any one put some light on it.
I shall be thankful to you for this.
Regards
Pavneet Rana

Hi Pavneet,
Inbound processing of an offline adobe form consists of several things -
a) an email id to be created on the server (to accept the mail & process the adobe form - this needs to have the right roles)
b) the smtp config needs to be done by basis
c) the abap developer needs to create a handler class that gets called when an email is recd in SAP. This handler class has 3-4 methods (first to read the mail and extract the pdf, convert data in pdf to the abap variable, process the form to do the specific function in sap (which will vary from requirement to another).
I found this blog very useful when I was getting my adobe form done -
/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2004/09/09/receiving-e-mail-and-processing-it-with-abap--version-610-and-higher
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Liz

Adobe Forms On Portal

Hi Experts,
My requirement is i need to create the interactive adobe form and this adobe form is finally accessed through portal and there are some approval process involved in this scenario. Now my doubt is do i need to create the adobe form through webdynpro stack or can i create the form and interface directly in transaction "SFP". If i create the form using SAP GUI is it possible to access such forms through portal. I need your suggestions and comments on this.
Finally my doubt is can we access the interactive adobe forms which are developed in transaction "SFP" through portal, and my print program also exists in the ABAP editor which has logic to fetch and display the data into adobe forms.
or do we need web dynpro application to access the interactive adobe form through portal.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Venkat

Anto,
Thanks for the info, actual my requirment is when ever user login into portal he will find list of purchase orders then in the object work list(OWL). He will choose one record and click edit button then the adobe form corresponding to that purchase order should open in edit mode, now here my question is how can my print program in SAP GUI know that the user has choosen particular purchase order, i will fetch the data based on my selection criteria and i can display data according to that, but how can i display the data in edit mode when the user has choosen some record from OWL.
For example : if user selects purchase order 123 from object work list then the same purchase order 123 header and item details should open in the adobe form in edit mode. If my application is developed in SAP GUI side then how can my application program fetch the data related to pirchase order 123 in portal. When i write an ABAP program i will write the logic to fetch and display the data according to my selection criteria, i am unware of what is happening at protal side how can one map my selection criteria details to the record selected in object work list, is this possible , if not what is the alternative way. kindly suggest
For such type of requirement, what exactly need to be done either web dynpro interactive form or SAP GUI interactive form.
Or both scenario's also possible. Kindly suggest.
How can we achieve this using web dynpro application or SAP GUI application.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Dropdown list in offline Adobe forms based on Particular plant number

Hi All,
Actually I am working on the offline adobe forms. In one of my requirement User will enter the Plant number after that user click on Submit button then the data in Function/Area and Equipment fields will come in a drop down list based on the particular plant number(User entered plant).
So. for this requirement I will create the one RFC function module, from that FM I create one web service and configured in SOAMANAGER and finally integrated into the adobe form.
Now my question is user enter the plant number after that user click on Submit button then the total list in the both fields will come in a drop down list for the particular plant?
Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ravi.

Hi Lennart,
Here are a few comments/hints:
1. To access the data value of a form field use the rawValue attribute
2. Not sure which event you are using, try using the change event, if you are using it your script doesn't work since the updates did not happen and you are using the wrong attribute
3. the change event has an attribute newText that can be accessed as follows: xfa.event.newText
Cheers

Offline Adobe Form Issue

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to add few fields in my offline adobe form (ZCI Layout) which is getting called from webdynpro abap (via UI element "FileDownload").
The new fields has been added in the context node of WebDynpro and the population logic is all written in the appropriate method. Now the same needs to be added in the Adobe form as well.
So can you please help me with how to update the XML interface for the Adobe form.
I have already refreshed DataView but its not working.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Please specify when the error occurs. According to my experience, the problem can be that the transformation (XML data --> ABAP variable) has found some unexpected character. If my guess is right you need to debug this trasnformation and remove the unwanted character before the transformation starts.

Adobe Forms in Portal

Adobe Forms in Portal
Manager Self Service:
Say suppose i want to integrate "Change Personnel Area and Sub Area" into Portal:
I can deploy the MSS Business Package in Portal & with the appropriate iviews installed i can access "Change Personnel Area and Sub Area" in Portal.
The above thing works without any issues.
I have ads configured, acf & adobe lifecycle designer installed -- config tests are successfull for some sample webdynpro applications.

NEW Requirement:
Users want to see the same "Change Personnel Area and Sub Area (ISR_FORM_SPPA, ISR_IF_SPPA) " in Portal as adobe interactive forms.
Can you tell me where i have to start to accomplish the above task?
Any insight on the below stuff would be higly appreciated and rewarded.
1)?backend tcode sfp?
2)?web dynpro java?
3)?business package Enterprise Portals?
Thanks in Advance,
RK.

Hi RK,
We had a similar requirement and we used Web Dynpro for Java which contained the Interactive Form that would display the personnel area, personnel sub area, etc.
We developed a custom application in WD Java which would accept entries from the user on each screen after clicking on the Change Personnel area link in the portal. The user would put in the values and when the user would click on the Submit button, an adobe form would be displyed which would show the existing values as well as the values the user newly entered.
Hope this helps. Do let me know if you need any further inputs.

Offline adobe form closes automatically on Vista while its works in XP

Hi Experts,
I have a problem in which the 100 % offline adobe form is not working on vista machine while the same is working in XP. The form closes automatically on vista machine using acrobat reader 9.3 version while the form is trying to load data from a webservice to populate the dropdowns. It is working fine in all XP machine with Acrobat reader 9.0.
The form are created using ALC 8.1 and Interactive form element has display type = ActiveX.
Please can you provide some solution to the problem, does any setting like buffer size etc needs to be added/increased on vista. I had asked user to downgrade the acrobat reader version to 9.0 on vista machine to eliminate one factor and waiting for result.
Regards
Deepak

Hi Chintan,
Thanks for the advice. I had already asked the user to downgrade the adobe reader version.
I know that ZCI is available for the release currently being used and should be used, but the forms were designed some 7-8 months back and currently UAT is going on, so I need to fix this issue quickly.
I had already planned to move the forms to ZCI after UAT.
Now, the single forms behave differently (some fields/pages visible/hidden and populated accordingly) based on the input provided by user. There are 39 different scenarios in which the forms runs.
Now for the user on vitsa, the form is working for 10-15 scenarios but the adobe reader closes automatically for other scenarios. The only thing I can think of is that data volume for non working scenario is more to be populated in the forms. While all the scenarios are working fine in XP machine.
Have you faced this kind of issue, looks like buffer/memory issue on vista machine as the adobe reader closes without showing any error to the user?
Regards
Deepak
