Printing Adobe form using Webdynpro Java

Hi All,
I have a requirement to integrate data coming from web services onto a adobe form on the Portal.
This form needs to be generated in the background and then automatically sent to the local printer attached to the pc.
The idea is that the user need not preview the form and then send it for printing.
Any suggestions on how this custom functionality could be achieved.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Nidhideep Bhandari

"This form needs to be generated in the background and then automatically sent to the local printer attached to the pc.
The idea is that the user need not preview the form and then send it for printing." - not possible. I think what you intend to say is to call up the print option without the preview, correct?
"Send it for printing" is a bit confusing a statement.
I haven't personally tried this but what you can try to do is use JPS (Java Print Service).
Here's the link to the documentation: [JPS Documentation|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/pdf/JPS_PDF.pdf]
And this for more info: [http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/printing/]
There you can indicate the file stream is a pdf file for printing.
"application/pdf"
Goodluck!

Jan

I need one help from all of you , its quite urgent.
Actually I am trying to print Adobe form in webdynpro method like below:
 "----- Take the Adobe fprm -------------------"
 lv_form_name = 'ZHR_SAP_FORM'.
 CALL FUNCTION 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
 EXPORTING
 i_name = lv_form_name
 IMPORTING
 e_funcname = lv_fm_name.
 lfs_output_params-nodialog = 'X'.
 lfs_output_params-getpdf = 'X'.
 lfs_output_params-device = 'TR5T'.
 lfs_output_params-connection = 'ADS'.
 CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
 CHANGING
 ie_outputparams = lfs_output_params
 EXCEPTIONS
 cancel = 1
 usage_error = 2
 system_error = 3
 internal_error = 4
 OTHERS = 5.
 IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* Implement suitable error handling here
 ENDIF.
*---Form language
 lfs_doc_params-langu = 'E'.

 ENDIF.
Here , the funtion module name is coming correctly.
But when calling function CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN' ,
It is giving sy-subrc = 2 , i.e. usage error (An Exception).
Similarily , due to this i am getting same exception in
CALL FUNCTION lv_fm_name
So some one please help me , what should i do ,
am i supposed to pass some other parameter in CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
Hopefully , waiting for responds.
Thanks & Regards;
Gaurav Singh

HI Sikka,
Thanx for the reply ,
With your solution CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN' is done.
but the same problem is still happening with
CALL FUNCTION lv_fm_name and it is giving sy-subrc = 2.
i.e. system_error = 2
Thanx !!!

How to integrate adobe forms using webdynpro-abap

Hi All,
How to integarte adobe forms with webdynpro -abap(se80).
Thanks & Regards
Suman

Hi suman,
First you have insert a element interactive form in the view.
In the properties of the interactive form you have properties called datasource and pdfsource.
You have to give the data which you want to display in the datasource throught binding.
These data you have to get it from the context. For pdfsource it should be xstring.
There is one more property called templatesource, when you give a name and double click. It automatically goes to SFP and you can create the form of your purpose. While creating it will ask for context. That context will be the same which you have declared in the view or component controller.

Arun.

How to create the offline interactive form from XML?
Once filled offline interactive form uploaded into portal how to create XML again from pdf ?

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

Issue with interactive adobe forms in webdynpro JAVA

hi all,
I have added new field in interactive adobe form in NWDS and also did required changes to RFC function module which extract the data from database tables. Also, i have mapped the exporting parameter of the function module with newly added field on the interactive adobe form. After all required changes i did manual deployment of .EAR, .XDP and .WDP files in J2EE server (my client doesnt have auto deployment like right click on the project and click on deploy). After doing the manual deploy, i do see new filed on the interactive adobe form, but i do not see any value in that new field. I wanted to know am i missing any other step in deploy or what i am missing.
FYI.. i also tried restarting the J2EE server, still no use.
Could any one please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Chandra

You found it? Use "Open" instead of "show" and it will work like ours.

Regarding adobe form using Webdynpro ABAP

Hi,
I am new to webdynpro abap.
Currently I am working on a scenario where..
I have a function module which generates the pdf for me based on the vbeln i provide in the first view. The only thing I have to do is to display the generated pdf on explorer.
As for as the examples i gone through.....I should provide the existing form name or the interface name. I don't have either of them as the function module is generating the pdf for me.
Could any one help me on this please....
Thanks,
Vijaya.

Hello Vijaya,
Please check out the following
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0de1eb8-0b98-2910-7996-8a3c2fcf6785
This is what will work for you with some modifications. Since in your case you are already receiving the PDF from the FM, just set the pdfSource to this value and you should be done.

Shubham

Problem with native offline Interactive Forms in webdynpro java.

I have a java webdynpro project build like the one in this tutorial:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/how-to-guides-rig-official/netweaver-2004/web-application-server/how%20to%20create%20online%20and%20offline%20forms%20in%20web%20dynpro%20(NW2004).pdf
The "Online" part of the tutorial is working but in the offline scenario I get no data in WebDynpro from the Interactive form (all of Context Attributes have a value "null") after the use of "Submit to SAP" button. this is the button from the Web Dynpro Native Library in the LC Designer.
the versioning information:
Netweaver 7.0 WAS on SP13
ADS SP13
Lifecycle designer 7.1
We updated the ZCI template according to the SAP notes.
Does anyone know this problem and how to fix it ?

Hi niru,
To work on adobe forms in webdynpro java you need to install ALCD(Adobe Life Cycle Designer) along with NWDS(NetWeaver Developer Studio).
To know about adobe forms in webdynpro check the following link

ZCI for Adobe Interactive Forms in WebDynpro Java

Hi experts,
Can i use Zero Client Installation (ZCI) forms in WebDynpro Java.
I am not using ABAP at all & i want to avoid ACF installation on client side.
I am using :
SAP NWDS 2004s SP12
Adobe lifecycle Designer 7.1
Message was edited by:
Virag Shinde

Hello Virag Shinde,
ACF is supported with all the SPs across the Netweaver 7.0 stack and we will continue to support that except the fact that no further development will happen in that area. ZCI is the future of Interactive Forms solution by SAP.
Following two notes would be helpful to get started with ZCI:

1055911: Creating ZCI based interactive Forms in Web Dynpro for Java

How to send adobe data to R/3 using Webdynpro Java

Hi All,
I have a requirement in adobe form is i have one textfield on the Adobe form and user will enter input in that textfield.
Now that input should be sent to R/3 using RFC.
But i am unable to get the data from adobe form to Webdynpro Context.
I am having model nodes in the Context. i tried mapping to them, but i am not getting data.
I also tried taking a Value Node and bind that to Textfield in adobe, but in that also i am not getting data.
I tried Interactive form example for Textfield and submit, but its showing only on that View only.
My Major Concern is to map the adobe data to Context and then Send to R/3.
Pls help me out.....
Regards,
Dhruv

Hi Dhruv,
Why do you want to retrieve the adobe data to context ?
May be data connection can help you pass the data from adobe to R/3.
Create a webservice for the RFC function module and mention the link in the data connection in adobe. It updates R/3.

Adobe prefilled form using standalone java appl

Hi,
I have designed adobe form. The requirement is : the end user will open this adobe form offline using Java mobile application, but needs to be prefilled with some field values.
And there is no connectivity to SAP system/ server.
My question : Is there any way that we can prefill the offline adobe form when this java application is calling the adobe form.
Do we need ADS/ any kind of connectivity to any server?
Any info this, this would help me .
Thanks,
Saujanya

Hi,
The requirement is : the enduser will not have connectivity to SAP Server. But he uses his SAP mobile device, opens the locally stored adobe form, fills up the details and sends it to SAP.
I just want to know if ADS is required in this requirement, as i think this nt required,
But want to confirm.
Any pointers on this would really help me.
Thanks,
Saujanya
