Problem with Input help inside an adobe interactive forms

Hi Experts,
I'm currently implementing a Webdynpro ABAP application containing a Interactive forms.
I'm using Adobe Live Cycle Designer 8.0, Acrobat reader 9.2, Internet Explorer 7.0
My problem is that when I click on the "input help" button inside the adobe form, he automatically refresh all the forms UI element with their initial values. Is-it a refresh event included when we pressed the "Input help" button or an other event? How Can I deactivate that action, event?
Because since he automatically refresh my form data I loose the context current values.
Thanks in advance,
Louis

strange, but you could compare the version of the zci scripting
in your form in the hierarchy tab there are variables and the ContainerFoundation_JS script --> the first line
// DO NOT MODIFY THE CODE BEYOND THIS POINT - xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - ContainerFoundation_JS gives you the requested information about the scripting version...have a look at this version...

perhaps this note helps:
Note 999998 - Analyzing errors with Adobe Integration of Web Dynpro ABAP
--> for debugging!
A client debug function is available as of SAP NetWeaver Release 7.00 Support Package 19 (or after you implement Note 1287114) and for all Enhancement Packages. Activate this client debug function using the URL parameter "sap-wd-clientDebug=X" (attach it to the URL using "&"). You can then activate the client trace using the key combination <CTRL><ALT><SHIFT>T (move the focus to a Web Dynpro UI element, for example, to an InputField, do NOT move the focus to Adobe Reader). The system opens a new browser window with the trace output. The trace may contain an error entry ("Network Error", and so on). The URL also activates the Adobe document services (ADS) trace. The trace outputs of the ADS are copied to the generated PDF document as an attachment. Open the file "Error.pdf" of the ADS trace: Form errors (for example, script errors) are listed there.

Multiple search helps in ABAP Adobe interactive forms not working....

Hello,
I am working on my first interactive form. I have a couple of fields to which I have attached a search help. However, I am able to use the search help for only one field in a session. If I use the search help on one field then I am unable to use it on another field which uses the search help.
Can some one help? I am new to interactive forms and this is my first form.
I appreciate your help in advance.
Thank you,
Leena

Hi Leena,
Are the Data dictionary fields which you are using contains value range. Because i am only getting value help only for the fields for which there is value range defined in the dictionary. The problem is only for the fields for which there is no value range defined. If you have solution to this problem I will definitely award points to you. But in your thread for me its not possible to reward points, so you can answer the following thread:

Will reward points if found your answer helpful.

Issue with calling Web Services from Adobe Interactive Forms

Hi,
I have created Web Services for remote enabled function module and imported it in the data connection in adobe form. In the adobe form created the button (Drag&Drop from Data Connection) as HTTP submit button. In the submit URL I have given the Web Services link. A program is downloading the pdf form in desktop with fillable as 'N'.
When I provide the input parameters and click on the button, its promts for SAP user id and password. After that it shows the error as "An error occurred during the submit process. Cannot process content of type text/xml".
Why this error is coming and how to correct?
How can we debug web services?
Thanks and Regards,
Praveen

Adobe Interactive Forms no BAPIs or RFCs available

Hi all -
thanks to all who helped me get adobe interactive forms up and running
now that we can deploy an interactive form
our problem is no backend BAPIs or RFCs are available
for it, only custom dialog ABAP modules
is there any method where the form could get data
from back end without calling BAPI or RFC?

Hi Viji,
I believe there must be a misunderstanding here. While Adobe delivers sample forms both in Adobe LiveCycle Designer (only the form) and for their own server products (the LiveCycle series), this has nothing to do with Interactive Forms in SAP software. Adobe contributes 2 key technology components to the joint solution, but the business logic continues to be shipped by SAP only. This means that Adobe neither ships standard forms for an SAP system nor BAPIs.
In mySAP ERP 2004, a couple of pilot processes built with Guided Procedures were shipped to selected customers. These processes dealt with the creation and changing of master data. These processes are not generally available.
Interactive Forms is included in several environments, i.e. Web Dynpro for Java, Web Dynpro for ABAP, ABAP Workbench (for printing), Guided Procedures, Internet Service Request (ERP), and Business Intelligence. In NetWeaver '04, you can only use Web Dynpro for Java and ABAP Workbench.
There is NO OUT-OF-THE-BOX SUPPORT for BSPs.
If you wish to use KM functions, it'll be up to you to develop them for your process. You will need to persist the generated PDF form (it doesn't happen by default), and there is no standard delivery that includes KM functions.
Hope this helps,

ABAP Webdynpro ADOBE interactive form

Hi All,
I have a problem when reading attachments from online adobe interactive form in Webdynpro ABAP.
I have tried two options:
Option1:
Get FP reference.
l_fp = cl_fp=>get_reference( ).
try.
Create PDF Object.
l_pdfobj = l_fp->create_pdf_object( connection = 'ADS' ).
Set document.
l_pdfobj->set_document( pdfdata = lv_pdf ).
Set task to get attachments.
l_pdfobj->set_task_getattachments( ).
Execute, call ADS.
l_pdfobj->execute( ).
Get result.
l_attachments = l_pdfobj->get_attachments( ).
CATCH cx_fp_runtime_system INTO exc.
xslt_message = exc->get_text( ).
ENDTRY.
option 2: in wdomodify method
DATA l_ifba TYPE REF TO cl_wd_interactive_form.
l_ifba ?= view->get_element( 'IF_001' ).
DATA l_form_method_handler TYPE REF TO IF_WD_IACTIVE_FORM_METHOD_HNDL.
l_form_method_handler ?= l_ifba->_method_handler.
DATA l_attachments TYPE tfpattachments.
l_attachments = l_form_method_handler->get_attachments( ).
Both options are not getting the attachments.
Our SAP Netweaver version is 7 and ehp 4, ADS configured.
If i save the pdf with attachments locally and then use the UI upload and read the attachments it works. But not when the interactive form is online and when i add attachments to it and click submit(where submit code is the option 1 code), it is not finding any attachments. I wonder whether pdfsource context stores the attachments or not.
When i check the note, SAP say that attachments are supported from ehp2.
What is that i am missing? Any direction would be good.
In worst case i will do webdynpro screens for attachments maintenance, wanted to check with all experts before taking this option.
Please someone answer.
Thanks
Anu

>When i check the note, SAP say that attachments are supported from ehp2.
That is correct. Attachments are supported as of NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 2.
>Our SAP Netweaver version is 7 and ehp 4, ADS configured.
Not possible. NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 4 doesn't even exist yet. In fact 7.0 Enhancement Package 2 won't start ramp-up until December 20th. I think you are confusing your ERP Enhancement Package level with your NetWeaver Enhancement Package level. I'm guessing that it is much more likely that you are on ERP 6.0 Enhancement Package 4. This level of ERP actually runs on NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 1.

Webdynpro + Adobe Interactive Form + Web Service

Hello Experts,
Can you please provide me the useful solutions for the below mentioned issues.
I created a Webdynpro with one view .Kept the adobe interactive form on the view by binding the structure with all my fields to the data source. And one webservice is linked to this form by keeping one submit button on the form. Iam sending the entire data filled on the form to the webservice as importing structure which is binded to the DATA SOURCE of the View in the Webdynpro. Now my questions are,
1.Among these fields,i have a list box (can select multiple values from the list). Iam pasing the values to this list box from the Webdynpro with out changing the TYPE of field in the structure. But all the selected values of list box should be available in the web service. how is it possile?. The importing structure contains the TYPE of that field as a data element and not a TABLE TYPE.
2. How to make the borders of the field in red color in run time. (like it comes for mandatory fields initially).
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ram.

Hi,
But now, my doubt is "How to know the list of values selected in the list box to concatenate using scripting in th Adobe form it self? "
For list box which is multiselect, when you say this.rawValue you get a arraylist, i believe separated by "\n" which mean newline on the form and separated by # when it reaches to SAP.
And also, regarding border color. The suggested logic is not changing the color of the border of the field. Instead it is giving additional border in specified color. But, Is it not possible to change the actual border color instead of adding additional borders with other color
You feel like aditional border because the field is an input type which has emboss effect to look, you can change the appearance of the file from palletes/windos>object>field-->appearance dropdown, just say it to none and alter the type field in Value tab from user entered optional to readonly you will see the difference.
Let me know if this suffice you.
Cheers,
Sai

Do you have to buy License to use Adobe Interactive Forms in WebAS

Hello,
Im testing at the moment the NetWeaver Java Trial with Web Dynpro (Java) and Adobe Interactive Forms.
You have to download Credentials and install it to use interactive forms in the Trial version. These are valid for 2 month.
I would like to know if you have to buy and install the Licenses to use (in the full amount, with digital Signatures etc.) the Adobe interactive Forms in the Fullversion of NetWeaver ?!
A Link to a document of SAP or Adobe to this topic would be really helpful.

Hello,
You will find the Adobe Forms Licensing information at links below:
1) Licensing Adobe Document Services
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/9f/36b2ca6a2642c2b8412677eb1fe9c0/frameset.htm
2) Also, have a look at SAP Note 750784 (SAP Interactive Forms: Licenses)

How much effort in developing an offline adobe interactive form - crm 2007

We have a requirement to develop an offline adobe interactive form in crm 2007 sp4. The form will be linked with a visit transaction and when saved will also facilittae the transfer of the form from crm to outlook via groupware integration. From what i can see we have the following steps which will need to be implemented.
1 - Develop web service to pull information from the created visit to the Offline Adobe Interactive Form
2 - Create an Adobe interactive Form template to hold the details of the visit
3 - Set up Groupware Integration to pass the form from CRM to Outook (DONE)
4 - Develop some approach for uploading the form data back to the CRM server (of which there appears to be three approaches - Submit by Email / WebServices / WebDynpro-Upload )
The form itself is not going to be too detailed. It will be prepopulated with the following fields:
Account No, Account Name, Contact, Date, Time, Transaction No, Transaction Category. It will also have a number of text fields which will be used to capture the details of the visit. It will have a submit button to allow for the data to be uploaded by the appropriate upload method.
Can anyone give me some guidance as to how long it would take to implement such a requirement.
Thanks in advance
Eddie

Problem with ACF for Adobe Interactive Forms

Hi Gurus,
I had created an adobe interactive form using web dynpro for abap, but I am getting the 500 connection timed out error in the browser when I test the web dynpro application. Where as a normal web dynpro application without adobe form is running successfully.
The system details are :-
     Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0
     NW04S SPS9
     Adobe Reader 9
     IE 7.
I followed the note 766191 and downloaded and installed ACF(for NW04s and higher version supported upto acrobat reader 9) from browser itself.
I also followed the note 1150277 for enabling IE settings on ActiveX controls. And I checked in IE with Tools->Internet Options->Programs->Manage Add-ons, but the ACF components were not available.
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance,
Sriratna.

Hi All,
I have created Adobe Interactive Form with ZCI type and XML based interface type using Webdynpro ABAP.
I placed a text field USER_NAME on the form ( data element is linked to search help USER_COMP ).
Added Native WD UI element 'Value Help' to form to search for users and changed script
*var fieldName = "INSERT_NAME_HERE*"; to var fieldName = "USER_NAME";
The problem is that when I click on the value help button, nothing happens.
Is any more additional steps required ?

Need help with calculated fields in Adobe Interactive Forms

Hi Gurus,
I have an Adobe Interactive form in which i have radio buttons. Upon selecting any of the radio buttons, value in text box should be changed( Calculqated filedS). How i can achieve this?

Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Jul 13, 2010 11:58 AM

Hi Tapan
No, it's working ,with one remark.
I've done a mistake, in the final formula. The logic remain the same! ;)
The calculation values for second column ( COL2 ) are 1,2,3 and not 0,1,2 as I wrote before and as for COL1 are so the formula is
=3*if(COL1="ABC",0,IF(COL1="DEF",1,2)+if(COL2="RST",1,IF(COL2="YYZ",2,3)
and not
=3*if(COL1="ABC",0,IF(COL1="DEF",1,2)+if(COL2="RST",0,IF(COL2="YYZ",1,2)
I created also a real example for you, with 2 dif calculation ways . First I created 2 calc_columns for COL1 and COL2 ( CALC_COL1+CALC_COL and after I added both these 2 column , and second way is to calculate directly) .

Need help with Adobe Interactive Form Saving

Hi Gurus,
I need your help with Adobe Interactive form saving.
I have written the code in pre-save event to prompt a message when user didn't enter any value before saving. The form data should not be saved upon clicking save (Just prompt the message and exit form the form). Can u please advice me how to do this.
Regards,
Srini

see the link: http://forms.stefcameron.com/2008/04/
it says:
preSave: Failed validations will not prevent the form from being saved however Acrobat/Reader will issue a special warning message, after issuing the validation error message, to inform the user that the validations failed. Iu2019m guessing this is because the user may be saving the form to continue filling it at a later time so the save canu2019t be completely prevented.

Data Passing Problem with Adobe Interactive Forms

Hello all,
I am trying to create a Guided Procedure to implement an offline Adobe Interactive form. This form is based on the standard Requisition Request form used in MSS for e-Recruiting.
I've copied the standard form and updated the layout to ZCI using the appropriate transaction (not manually). After that, I've changed the Interface and layout. But to get the Form in the portal you need to have a .xpd file. Therefore, I've tested the form in preview mode, saved a copy as a PDF file and opened this copy in the standalone Adobe Lifecycler Designer. In the standalone version you are able to save the form as a PDF (not possible using transaction SFP).
My question 1 is if this is a wrong approach and there is a better way to retrieve the xpd file.
Next to that, I wrote a RFC function to retrieve data in the backend. This function is working and now I try to pass the data to the Form in the GP (using prefilling). The data is never passed, any points that I need to check there. The data used to export is a structure that contains a number of table types, because Adobe has issues with importing tables it seems. The form is working correctly in the backend.
Points will be rewarded for helpfull awnsers!
Kind regards & thanks in advance...
