PDF Forms embedded in Webdynpro Java - Can eCATT recognize???

Hi All,
Will eCATT be able to identify the PDF forms embedded in Webdynpro Java applications.....
Thanks in Advance
Puru

I think it will not. I am almost sure it will not. Any new complex screens are a challenge to eCATT. Flash, Flex and sometimes even trees.

TABLE DATA in PDF FORM Through ABAP WEBDYNPRO

Hi Friends,
I have to Populate SAP TABLE like MARA,VBRK table into PDF form throught ABAP Webdynpro.
Can you send STEP by STEP Example Doc.
Thanks In Advance.
Gautam.

Hi,
To display the Table in the Adobe Form you must create a WebDynpro Context.
In WebDynpro Context, in the main node create another node like A1 with cardinality 0..n and in this node create attributes FIELD1 and FIELD2 and so on.
Now goto method and in that method using code wizard read the node A1.
And use the below code snippet sample in your program, i.e. code this under respective method of the webdynpro.
*Declare the TYPES
TYPES : BEGIN OF TY_TABLE,
FIELD1 TYPE SOMETYPE,
FIELD2 TYPE SOMETYPE,
END OF TY_TABLE.
*Define Internal Table and work area.
DATA : IT_TABLE TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TY_TABLE INITIAL SIZE 0.
SELECT FIELD1 FIELD2 FROM TABLENAME INTO TABLE IT_TABLE.
lr_node_info->bind_table( IT_TABLE ).
And now goto Layout and give the TemplateSource and after that it asks for the interface name fill on that and select the relevant context. Now the LiveCycle Designer opens. There goto DataView pallette, there you can see the context of the webdynpro, now you simply drag and drop that table, a table is being created in the Layout Designer.

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

Extend the controller and get the handle of the current row of the VO. Set set the attribute context filed accordingly. Also get the handle fo the flexbean and set the context. According rendering would change.

Does anyone else use a PDF form to extract data they can then use to populate Dynamic Content in Ill

Does anyone else use a PDF form to extract data they can then use to populate Dynamic Content in Illustrator?

You can connect the form to the DB using anODBC connection. This functionality comes as part of Acrobat but the form must be Reader Extended by the full LiveCycle Server version of Reader Extension to allow this in Reader. In your case, if your system is the only on ethat will interact with the DB then this might be a viable solution (but you woudl have to use Acrobat). This solution woudl involve create an ODBC connection in your system then configuring the form to make use of that connection.
Does that make sense?

PDF form generation on Webdynpro Application

Hi
I have an ABAP Webdynpro application with 8 tabs. As per the functionality, all the data entered by the user on these 8 screens has to be displayed in a PDF form as well as in an excel sheet in a defined format. Also the Adobe Lifecycle Designer is not available. How can this requirement be implemented.
One way is to use the smart form Object and integrate it with Webdynpro.
Please suggest how can such a functionlity be achieved.
Smriti Kapur

Hi Smriti,
Are you using an ALV grid in your application? if so, there should be a 'Print version' button that, when ADS is configured correctly, should produce the PDF version of the Document.
Read these two blog entries:

Large PDF file size in Webdynpro JAVA

Hi All
I have imported a PDF in Webdynpro JAVA using InteractiveForm UI element. During application execution the size of the PDF seems drastically increased and the application performance is very poor.
If I make the PDF form as readonly then the size seems normal.
Any suggestions on the size increase issue with interactive PDF forms in Webdynpro JAVA.
EP 7.01 SP5
ADSSAP 7.01 SP5 (1000.7.01.5.0.20090825153742)
Thanks in advance
Geogi Luke

When I make enabled property to false in the UI element, then the size is less than 300KB
This is ok, it works this way.
I think some additions are happening at runtime to the PDF and the size is increasing.
Open the file in WD and save it immediately. Work with the form and save it again. Compare.
I am using lifecycle designer 7.1 for developments.
If you can, upgrade to 8.1, you´re efficiency will improve significantly. And of course.. your user experience will change;))

How to Save Completed PDF Form (Embedded in HTML)

We have a PDF Form which is displayed embedded in our HTML page (via a browser plugin).
The user can submit the Form from within the HTML page (the embedded frame with the PDF contains the whole form and the Submit button).
The toolbar on the Reader plugin shows the Save button, but when we click it, we get an error saying the document cannot be saved, only printed. Here is our issue:
1) We need to allow the user to save the form locally,
2) including their *completed data*
Is there any way to do this from within the plugin? Thanks

Only specially enabled forms can be saved with data in Reader. If you have Acrobat Standard or Pro you can save data in forms. Forms can only be enabled for saving with Reader using Acrobat or LiveCycle Reader Extensions.

Print functionality using PDF form in a webdynpro application

Hello! All
Currently, we have a webdynpro application and we need to provide the print feature to print the content of the iview display on IE browser. We try the File-> print feature provide by Microsoft through IE but this doesn't work. We are looking for any other option like print to pdf form. We don't know if it is possible. Is there any tutorial, help or anything that can help us to print to pdf form. Please share any other suggestion, comment and it will be much appreciated. Thank you very much.

Hi,
The content (which is a pdf content) can be exported as a PDF from a WD Application. For this you can use File Download control whose source is in the form of bytes (which is PDF content).
Do you have the PDF content already generated?
If so it is very easy to generate PDF from WD.
If you need further help, kindly let us know.
Thanks and regards

ADOBE form design in webdynpro JAVA

Hi,
I am very new in ADOBE. Someone can send the step by step method for developing the application in webdynpro java.?
Thanks,
Kundan Kumar

Hi Kundan,
Welcome to the Adobe arena..!
Well how familer are you with Web Dynpro...?
I can explain the procedue at a higher level, for a detailed step by step example you can check in NWDS help or couple of blogs here.
Adobe component in web dynpro is like any other ui Component to your view.
when you add this component you need to specify the WDJ view's context (this can be from a node level not only entire context) to this component's data source.
once both are done when you click on the component in the view it will navigate to ADLC (adobe live cycle designer) where you can design your form.
Remember that you specified the WDJ vie'ws context as data source to this component, thus in the ADLC you will see this context in the data view which would carry your data from wdj view to this form.
Again here similar to WDJ what ever you set to this context would flow tru and backwards.
try with this approach and on a simple scenario followed by some bolgs here.
Follow the below link for some examples in SDN.

There are hidden pages in the PDF form I have. How can I see and print all without clicking on the

I have hidden pages in the PDF form I'm using (but didn't create). How can I see and print all the pages at once without clicking on the "next page" button. In the initial view, there are four pages, but if I click the "next page" button, there are a total of 12 pages in this document. This is three budget years, each year being 4 pages long.

You're most likely dealing with a dynamic XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer. You can open it, click the button, and save it, and it will most likely be 12 pages when next opened, but it depends on how the form is set up. The ability to make edits to an XFA form in Acrobat is very limited, especially for dynamic forms, so things like flattening aren't possible.
If it's not an XFA form, you'd still need to click the button at least once and save. To say for sure what's possible, I'd need to see the document. Can you post it somewhere?

Email PDF Form and Sign Entire Submission - Can this lock the form and show the signature?

Thanks to those who explained how to create a button that allows me to email a form as a PDF rather than XML. It helped me a great deal.
Now I want to cause our time sheet adjustment form to be emailed from the employee to their supervisor, and have the form-data be read-only, and the employee signature to be obvious to the recipient.
I've tried checking the Sign Submission check box in the Submit tab of the Button Object window, (where the mailto: tag has been entered.
I clicked the "Settings..." button on the Submit tab and then, under the "Sign Data and Submit Settings" dialog box I selected "Sign Entire Submission". But this does not lock the data and the resulting PDF form once emailed, shows no sign of a signature.
I also tried adding a signature field, and clicked on it to add a signature. But once the signature was added, the Button was disabled and I could not submit the form via the mailto: tag.
Is there a way to signa form with a self-signed signature, and email the entire PDF such that the recipient can see the signature, and that the data are no longer editable?
Wouldn't that just be ducky...?
Thanks again,
-David Bartholomew

Thanks for your comment. I suppose I need to add a context to my intended usage to explain why I want what I described. I want the signature to be apparent so users can see that a submission was signed. These forms that I am considering will replace a paper form used internally within my organization, to request a time card change. They only need to be signed as a pro-forma requirement.
If the electronic forms solution is approved by management, I will make a case that since the network is a closed intranet, there is little consequential likelihood that a fellow employee would forge another's time card change request. And since the new form would be submitted through email, there is a further validation that the email will identify the sender's email address. This proposed electronic submission method is certainly as valid as forms where users cut and paste an image of their signature in a document...
The good news is that since I asked this question, I discovered the samples that came with LCD 8...
An example can be found in the Live Cycle Interactive Purchase Order sample found at [installdir]\EN\Samples\Purchase Order\Interactive.
The interactive Purchase Order sample shows how a collection of fields can be defined and then the signature applied only to the data in the collection. The email button is defined as not included in the collection. This way the signature field can be used, and once the document is signed, the email button remains enabled.
The interactive purchase order sample also demonstrates how a drop down list can be populated by a JavaScript as well as some array handling syntax that I've been looking for.
I recommend the samples to anyone who, like me, may not have been aware of their relevance.
Thanks again, this forum is a great resource.

How to use Acrobat 9 standard to create a PDF form that an Acrobat reader can save

Hi,
I'm evaluating Acrobat 9 standard edition. I want to create a PDF with a form that allow Acrobat Reader users to fill in the form and save to their local machine.
I looked at "Can I save a filled out PDF form using the free Adobe Reader? "
However, it refers to version 8 and has a link to another page that states to look in Acrobat 8 help. Well I can't anything for how to create right-enable PDF in the help.
How can I do this in Acrobat 9?
Thanks.

I think that the right's enabling was added to AA9 Std. It was not part of AA8 Std as far as I know. However, you need to read the restrictions on the use of the reader rights. There is a 500 form use limit. If you exceed that limit you are supposed to contact Adobe for negotiations for further use. I do not think those restrictions have changed with AA9, but read the EULA to check it out.

ADS configuration error - PDF form not displaying for Java WebDynpro

Hi Experts,
Sub : Problem with configuring Adobe Document Services
We have installed .. NW2004s SP12 on HP-UX OS.
As of now all the services are working fine, recently started configuring "Adobe Document Services", followed all the instructions given in the guide.
Environment :
=============
- Configuring ADS Webservice for "BASIC" Authentication, not for SSL
- Poratl (AS JAVA) and BI (AS ABAP) are running in different systems.
- Portal using UME as the data storage.
- OS is HP-UX
Configuration Check for Interactive Forms in Web Dynpro for Java
=================================================================
1. Checking the User and Password ---
http://<server>:<port>/AdobeDocumentServices/Config -- the system displays the version number of the Adobe document services in the response area.
2. Configured Webservice for Basic Authentication -- success
In the process of testing this configuration -- i've developed a Java Webdynpro interactive form and deployed into my DEV server (NW2004s Sp12).
Unfortunately, form is displaying in my sneak preview version (Nw2004s SP9), getting error when deployed into Dev server - NW2004s SP12 on HP-UX.
We haven't installed ADS separately, making use of ADS comes with the default installation.
Error :
=======
java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Reatimed out

I found that the following directory is empty in DEV server ... /usr/sap/EPL/JC03/j2ee/os_libs/adssap/XMLFormService, but not in sneak preview version.
Please do let me know to solve the problem.

Thanks for quick response.
Installed Reader in my PC, i can view the deployed interactive form thru sneak preview, but getting the following error when running the same application thru my development server.

Fill a pdf form with data using Java code

Hi,
Modern formats of Acrobat ".pdf" files allows to define form fields.
I have a datasource, let's say in a database.
I want to fill my ".pdf" with my database-stored data automatically, and want to write Java code for that.
1. What is the best way to achieve this ?
2. Is it necessary to install Acrobat Distiller server and if so what web services should I invoke ? Where is the doc ?
3. Are there efficient Java libraries to do so ?
Thank you for helping... As ever, this is kind of an emergency case
Have a good day.
Phil

Take a look at the FDF Toolkit for Java:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/fdftoolkit.html
That will allow you to, through Java, construct an FDF that contains all your form data. You then add a reference to your "template" PDF file in the FDF as well and send the FDF to the client. Acrobat will open the FDF, see the reference to the PDF, open the PDF and then merge any data contained in the FDF with the PDF.
