Online Adobe Form scenario

Hello All,
I have developed an Adobe Form integrated within a Webdynrpo (for ABAP) View. This form can be launched from the portal.
Now I have been given a requirment that the form needs to be routed to 2-3 persons for approval and then submitted (or processed in SAP). The approving personnel will look at their UWL on the portal and approve/dissapprove.
I do not have much hands on experience on the Online Adobe forms with workflow scenario as above. I am looking at solutions such as ISR or Guided procedures. Guided procedure seems to be working only with WDN Java not ABAP. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I will really appreciate it if anyone can advise as to how I need to proceed here.
Thanks in advance, Liz

Hello,
I have no experience with GP (and don´t know anybody who has, if you would choose the technology and be able to create a thing using it, I would really appreciate if you could share your sources and describe the solution fur us here). And I think that is for WD Java (or designed from NWDI, or something like that).
For a start with GP I have found this:
I have no experience with ISR either. But (correct me if I am wrong) I think that is a little old framework, which is now replaced (i hope it is) by HCM PF. I would love to learn that, but have never found neither time nor a colleague to start.
I remember I have found some useful things about HCM PF here:

Hope that helps, Otto

  • Strange error in online Adobe form for the date field

    Hi Experts,
    I am facing strange problem with online Adobe forms. I could able to save data when i click save button on the form.
    But some times in the form the date field is throwing error message 'MMDDYYYY field is invalid' when i click on save button.
    Is this the problem with versions of Adobe liveCycle designer, Adobe reader or GUI?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ram

    Hi
    Check the format (in the object pallete) of the date field in Adobe liveCycle Designer, If it is not set already set it according to your requirement. then see if it works
    Hope this helps

  • Online Adobe forms in Guided Procedures

    Calling SAP GP experts,
    Has anyone been able to successfully implement online Adobe forms in a Guided procedures. If yes, can you share tricks involved..
    The objective is to throw open an online Adobe form to the user to fill in.. The Adobe form will have pre-filled data (from previous Actions in the GP) and there will be the Approval process step after the form is filled...
    Cheers
    Nitesh

    Dear Alan,
    Yes i have generated the form's submit URL... It works fine when the pdf is saved in the users desktop and upon clicking the submit button it kicks of a Process with a Visual Approval callable object..
    However my requirement is that the Adobe form be submitted online during GP runtime.. The process is initiated by the User in the portal (not offline) who wants to put in a request. When the user initiates a process an Adobe form is opened to him in which he fills in his request. This request is then <b>forwarded for Approval</b>.. After Approval a digital signature need to be attached to the document and further on it needs to be sent out to other User Groups.. In case the request is <b>rejected</b> then the control goes back to the requestor who can either modify his request and send it again for approval or simply delete the request.. Throughout the whole process Print of the request can be taken at any time. Considering the requirements of Print & Digital signature i think using Adobe would be the way to go.. What do you think about implementing such a requirement in GP with Adobe UIs? Is it the right way of going about it?
    Quite an interesting nut to crack.. Ain't it ??
    Cheers

  • How can i create validation Checks in Online Adobe Form

    Hi Gurus
    i am trying to create Online Adobe form.how can i do the validation checks while the user enter the values in Adobe form (For Ex: lets take personnel Number if the end user enter the personnel number it must go and  check the Data base table , if its right personnel number then processes next value or if its not right personnel number then it must show the error message).  please help me.
    Thanks in Advance
    Edited by: Reddy on Nov 24, 2011 10:08 AM

    HI Reddy,
    I think you can use either  'Submit' button or  web service for the validation. When we use the web service then it will work in offline mode also(user has to be on intranet - either via remote connectivity using VPN or office network) .
    if you are going for 'Submit'  and If you want to validate the number when the user enter value, then write the code in 'Exit' event  .
    Write the below code in the  event.
    ContainerFoundation_JS.SendMessageToContainer(event.target, "submit", "", "", "", "");
    This code will trigger the submit event in the web Dynpro component.
    Hope this will helps you.

  • Table fields Validation in online adobe form WDABAP

    Hi,
    I have a table in Online Adobe form, and one of the field in the table is Check Box, if the check box is selected the next field(with in the same table) should be left blank else it should issue some error like leave blank.
    Can some one tell me how to to do this using javascript?
    Ravi

    Ravi,
    For eg:- Lets assume you have a table name Table1 with 2 rows (Row1 and Row2) & 3 columns.
    Row 1 has three cells --> Cell1 (which contains check box), Cell2(InputField which needs to be kep blank), Cell3( Assume its a numeric field)
    Similarly Row 2 has three cells --> Cell1 (which contains check box), Cell2(InputField which needs to be kep blank), Cell3( Assume its a numeric field)
    So the hierarchy will be
    Table1
    |--- Row1
        |-----CheckBox1
        |-----Cell2
        |-----Cell3
    |--- Row2
        |-----CheckBox2
        |-----Cell2
        |-----Cell3
    Now write following code in JavaScript in the change event of CheckBox1.
    var currVal = Table1.Row1.CheckBox1.rawValue;
    //xfa.host.messageBox("Current Val is : "+currVal);
    if(currVal == 1) // Means checkbox is selected
         xfa.host.messageBox("Please Leave Next Field blank");
           Table1.Row1.Cell2.access = "readOnly";
    else
         Table1.Row1.Cell2.access = "open";
    Similarly, you need to write code for CheckBox2 of Row2.

  • Executing a WebService in Online Adobe Form

    Hi All,
    I am facing an issue while executing the webservice from an application developed inWDJava, that contains an Adobe Form. This Adobe Form is required to execute webservice, and this form has 2 input fields say First Name & last name. When i fill in the first name and last name fields in the application itself and attempt to execute the webservice, i don't get my response fields back.
    But in case i download my form from that WDJava online application, and then try to execute the service, i get back the results.
    *I am using Adobe Designer: 8.0
    Adobe Reader: 9.0*
    Any pointers to this..??
    Any ideas would be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Amita
    Edited by: amita arora on Mar 26, 2009 8:41 AM

    Call the webservice, and use the call to fill up a variable. It will then drop the return value, be it a structure or whatever into your local variable. Like this :
    var response = SOAP.request ({
         cURL: url,
         oRequest: request,
         cAction: "http://adobe.com/ES/GetMaterials",
         oAuthenticate: authentication });

  • Guided Procedures and online interactive adobe forms.

    Hi Experts,
    Scenario : User have to log into GP runtime, When he clicks the first action it should display the adobe form. He  has to fill the details and submit the form. This form is routed for Approver 1 for review. The first approver will log into portal,view it (UWL),approve it and sent for second approver.The same process happens with the second approver.After both approvals, a BAPI updates the data in the interactive form in R/3
    All the process have to be done in Guided Procedures, then  integrated with Portal at the end.
    We have tried creating an Wdynpro Java app with online adobe form and executed successfuly in NWDS and also in Webdynpro content administrator.
    issue:-
    When we create a callable object(webdynpro app(gp interface CO)) in GP and test, we were unable to view the form.
    Now our question is : what are we mising ?
    Is it possible to integrate online interactive adobe form with guided procedures?
    Is our approach to solve the scenario right?
    any links or tutorials will be greatly appreciated
    TIA,

  • Adobe form not saving data.

    hi Experts,
    I am facing strange problems with Adobe forms.
    I am working on both Offline and online adobe forms.
    adobe form which i make does not allow to save data.
    I am using the Adobe liveCycle designer 7.1.
    The Adobe reader version is 7.08
    and service pack is SPS 11.
    I have used both the tutorials for offline and online adobe forms.
    Online Problem :-
    The project for online works fine and it also allows to save data(when i save the form on my PC).
    But when i create a new form on my machine it does not allow to save data.
    Really confuse what the problem is.
    I have also tried this.
    Copeid the XDP file from the Online tutorial project into my project
    if i use this work around the the problem is resolved. But i am no able to understand why the XDP CREATED on my machine does not work.
    Offline problem:-
    In this case i am not able to save data in the form at all.
    As the PDF created itself not allow to save data.
    Please help.
    Points would be awarded to helpful answers.
    Regards,
    Sanjyoti.

    Hi Satya & sanjyoti,
    I am facing a pecular problem in using Adobe forms.
    I am able to pass data from webdynpo application, to the Interactive form(using mappings, as mentioned by satya).
    But for the same form & WD application, i am not able to pass data from the Interactive Form, back to the WD application.
    My scenario is like this:
    I need to show a form, with some prefilled data, such as date, userID, etc. I populate the node in my WD application, & then call the form.
    The form displays the above prefilled data. Now the user has to fill the remaining fields & click on submit(Submit-to-sap button). The onsubmit property of the Interactive form is mapped to a onaction event, where WD tries to read the data entered by the user.
    The problem is that on clicking of the submit button in the form, the event is not getting called.
    If i use a button in the WD view itself, then the action gets called, but there is no data. In short, the data is NOT getting passed from Interactive form to WD application.
    Can you please help me out with this?
    Thanks,
    Hanoz

  • Adobe Form - Print page at the end for every record of a Z table with Text

    Hello friends, I am facing a challenging here and I need to develop the following below. Mind you, I don't have much exposure/experience with Adobe Forms
    Scenario: Standard REAL ESTATE Contract Form
    I have a Z table containing RENTAL OBJECTS, in my case 3 records and I want, at the end of the form print one page like below to each record that i have in my Z table.
    "Dear Z-field1 one, regarding your contract for Z-field2, Address Z-field3, blah blah blah"
    In essence, print a page for each one of them at the end, with the text above using the fields from the z table.
    I searched the forum and couldn't find any thing like it.
    If someone can help it would be much appreciated.
    Thanks, Marco

    Hi Marco,
    You must be having the ztable fields in the context or in the data heirarchy of the adobe form.
    Assume that your main form is on the page1.
    Create a table bound to ztable with 3 rows in it and make it invisible on the form.
    Below the form create 3 pages page2, page3 and page4.
    Create a ISR text display and on the initialise event write the code such as:
    this.rawValue = data.page1.Table2.Row1.Cell1.rawValue;
    Create as many ISR texts as you want and initialize it using the above method.
    Page1
    form
    Page2
    Row1 values
    Page3
    Row2 Values
    Page4
    Row3 Values
    Hope this helps.

  • Dynamic  table in Online Interactive form

    Hi,
    Scenario:
       I am doing an Online Interactive form scenario in WebDynpro for Java. In the form, i will be having a dynamic table(the number of rows will grow and shrink, with the help of ADD and DELETE ROW buttons). Initially, that table will have only one empty row.
    Imp: The fields in the table are bound to the data source node, whose cardinality is 1..n. (I want the data enetered in the table in Interactive form, to be updated in the WebDynpro context also).
    Problem: After deploying the application,
      I fill the first row, click ADD button. A new empty row is created. No problem here.
      I fill the second row. Then, when I click the ADD button, a new row is created, but with the values in second row.  
    Even if i create 10 new rows, the values are repeating in all those rows. If I change the value in a row, it reflects in all rows(except first row).
    Note: If the table fields are not bound to any data source node, then I dont have the above mentioned problem.
    Thanks,
    Prabhakar.

    Hi,Prabhakar
    In the note 1090464 It says that this is a limitation of the Subform Instance Controls(the same in table ui element).
    It looks like currently the only workaround is to build in advance empty nodes but then it limits the number of rows in your table.

  • Adobe Forms - Table control data Saved in Database table through Web Dynpro

    Hello Friends,
    I Am facing a Problem in Adobe Forms through Web Dynpro.
    i Want to Make Interactive online Adobe Forms - In Table Control user enter the multiple entry in the table control and after that Click on SAVE button , entry will saved in Database table.
    Please guide me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Gaurav.

    Hi Gaurabh,
    For interactive form you have to check the property DisplayType = native and PdfSource should be a Context Attribute of type 'Xstring'.
    For data retrieval, create a NODE and have all the required attributes within that node of AOBE form.
    Fetch the data in WDDOINIT.
    Also check, that the offline senario for this form is working.
    Hope it helps you.
