Offline Adobe Form using GP - How to save data to SAP

Hi,
I have the following requirement.
o An offline form is sent to different users and when they fill the form and Click on Submit, the data should be saved to SAP.
o When the data is submitted, it should be recognize the user and multiple clicks if any so that data is not duplicated
I have used Guided Procedures for this. I have created an Interactive Form callable object with an xdp template and "Create offline Interactive form and send by e-mail" option.
Problem:
1. The document emailed to user can be submitted only once. My requirement is whenever form is submitted it should update the previous data.
2. How to save this data to SAP?
Version:
SAP NW SP12
Adobe Live cycle designer 7.1
I have gone through various blogs on Adobe Offline interactive forms and GP but I could not get a solution for this. Please help.
Thank you,
Vasu

Hi,
IMHO there is no easy solution for your requirement. However there is a workaround: you can create so-called "impersonalized" forms. They can be sent or returned as many times as needed from same or different users. However the effect will be that for each form sent out and accepted by GP, GP will start a new GP process. That means that the forms are the first step of such a process - so to say.
An offline form "in the middle" of a process can be embedded into the process as a dedicated step only. Once this form is returned to GP by the user, the process is continued and 2nd or later form returns are ignored. However there is the possibility to build an additional step into GP to check the input data and if they aren't valid to send out the form to the user once again.
So you see that there are some possibilities but no straight forward solution for your needs. Hope I could help anyhow.
Regards,
Jan

Hi Otto,
Sorry for replying lately. First of all I did not get your suggestions as your are editing the same posting.
Secondly we will be using WDJ. Actually in between SAP Portal and ECC we are having adobe LCES so we need to create Interactive form using XML only. Once it is filled again the form will be submitted to another application which is running on FLEX, which will process the order.
if you can give me your personal id i can send you the detailed process
Thanks

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,

Want to use Adobe forms departmentally. How many users per license?

How many people can use Adobe Forms per license/how many computers can we download software to?

Adobe FormsCentral is a web-based app so there is nothing to download - you access from the web browser.
Each users who creates forms needs a license of FormsCentral. In a month or so you'll be able to by a team pack (5,10,25) at reduces prices for a larger group who wants to create forms.

How to print a signature in Adobe form using PCL - HELP!

Hello,
I'm using Adobe LiveCycle and I'm trying to get my form to print a signature at the bottom right on the given signature line. Our HP LaserJet printer has a SIMM installed which contains the signature in digitized form. I need to issue a hexadecimal instruction using PCL which contains the code that tells the printer to print the stored signature. I know this is doable in SAPscript, but is it doable in Adobe???
Thank you,
Eileen

Hi Eileen,
I think it is handled differently in Adobe forms as here all the print data is created by ADS.
See the document Digital Signature Setup at:
www.service.sap.com/hrin -> Media Center -> Key Documents
This decribes the process.
The link below and SAP Note 1168740 also contain information.

ADOBE FORMS using Webservice

Hi Experts,
I have a problem with Adobe Forms Using webservice. I created RFC where it saves data from Adobe Forms to a customized table and exposed it as webservice. From the SOA manager, I copied the generated link pasted in the dataconnection in Adobe Lifecycle designer, but whenever I generate the form I keep receiving this error:
"http:// erpwrk1.corp.com:8000/sap/bc/srt/wsdl/bndg_DFA46DE60CFOD33F19F21005056C00008/wsdl11/allinone/ws_policy/document?sap-client=001". Check that the path is correct and that the file is a valid wsdl file.
I already activated services from SICF in relation SOAP runtime. What could be the cause of the problem and how to fix the problem?
Thanks A Lot!
Mae

Hi Ma. Angelica A. Estacio,
From the SOA manager, I copied the generated link pasted in the dataconnection in Adobe Lifecycle designer, but whenever I generate the form I keep receiving this error: Check that the path is correct and that the file is a valid wsdl file and hence i cannot finish the data connection wizard.
From the above posts, it looks like you have resolved the issue. But can you please let me know how did you resolve it ?
Did you check any SAP transaction to find the above mentioned checkbox?
Please revert as this has become critical now.
You can mail me your response on [email protected]

Calling web service in Offline adobe form

Hi all,
I have created webservice in backend system and have see it in SOA Manager. Have set the HTTP authentication as UserID/Password for the defiend service via SOA Manager.
I am using the wsdl of the webservice created from "Open WSDL document from selected bindings" in NWDS and am able to create Data Connection properly. On the click of the button have written the below code in Click event :
var cURL = "http://xyz:8000/sap/bc/srt/wsdl/bndg_4D33AD4FE1183C0DE1000000AC122492/wsdl11/allinone/ws_policy/document?sap-client=100";
var service = SOAP.connect(cURL);
xfa.host.messageBox("here4" + xfa.connectionSet.DataConnection.execute(0));
Here after the button is clicked in the form, it just prints the message "here 4 false" but nothing happens in the backed. Ideally it should have added a new record in a database table.
Can anyone let me know what could be ppossibly wrong in this and how can i debug my appplication it it is able to create connection with backend server.
Regards,
Namrata

Hi Namrata,
In SOAMANAGER, on clicking "Open WSDL document for selected binding", an XML document gets opened in the browser. Save the file as .wsdl file. Create data connection in Adobe form using this .wsdl file.
On successful creation of new data connection, a 'DataConnection' folder gets created in the Data View of Adobe Lifecycle Designer. It will contain a request, response and a button to trigger the webservice.
Do the corresponding data binding with the request and response fields and just drag and drop the button into the layout.
At runtime, the webservice gets triggered on clicking this button.
Thanks & Regards,
Sanoosh

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

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.

Vaibhav.

Adobe Form used by more than one user simultaneously

Friends,
I am working on an online interactive Adobe form using Web Dynpro ABAP.
once the user enters the data and clicks the submit button, the data is sent to ztables.
the scenario is that more than one user can possibly use the same form simultaneously. in that case, how can i maintain synchronization ie how to avoid multiple users from using the form at the same time, when the form is already being filled by one user already.
I am guessing i have to do something with ADS for this.
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards.

Hi Bertrand,
The purpose of allowing only one user is to ensure data consistency as you have guessed.
Is there a program name or transaction code where i can look up the lock entries and see if i can apply them to my web dynpro application or the adobe form.
I would greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks and Regards.
