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

Hi Gurus,
I am having a scenario like below:
Sales guy request for order list online from portal- Sytem receives the request and creat XML file- from xml file need to create a Offline interactive form-Sales guy fills it offline at customer site- uploads in portal -on submit xml has to be generated with captured data at customer site-Process to ECC.
So my questions are:
How to create the offline interactive form from XML?
Once filled offline interactive form uploaded into portal how to create XML again from pdf ?
Please give some idea on this as this is my first Offline interactive form using XML datasource.
Thanks

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

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

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:
<b>1042394: Updating Interactive Form template with ZCI capability</b>
<b>1055911: Creating ZCI based interactive Forms in Web Dynpro for Java</b>

Problem with Grouping in Interactive Forms by Adobe

Hey Guys!
I have a problem using the group function for a table in Interactive Forms by Adobe and I have not found a solution yet, so I hope anybody can help me.
I've created the table in the LiveCycle Designer using subforms and I want to use the group function for a specific field of my table. Now the problem is that the entries of the table are not shown grouped for the same values of my specific field but there is still one row for each entry. How do I have to edit binding, flow etc. for the subforms of a group?
I hope anybody can help me or provide me a better solution.
Thanks in advance.
Martin

Hi Otto,
thanks for your reply.
I'm sorry the 'grouping function' I've announced is called 'control levels' in English I can set this function for a field of a table in the context of the form in the transaction SFP in SAP. Then in the hierarchy the field is displayed above the group of the other fields of the table. Usually in the form this should lead to a 'grouping' for the specific field so if you have identical values there is just one entry in the form and all the rows that have this value should appear behind. My problem is that there is still one entry in the form for every row.
Right now I'm using the solution you mentioned with the nested tables but i have some problems with the layout and page breaks (pagination).
Thanks for your help.

Hi Venkat,
                 You may need any JavaScript to do this.
In Designer you can setup the signature field in that way, that all fields will be locked after signing.

Uploading data from Interactive form in Webdynpro ABAP

Hello All,
I am uploading data from an Offline interactive form to an ABAP WebDynpro application. Form is first downloaded, data is filled and now I am trying to upload the form to another WebDynpro application. Form DataSource is mapped to Context node with same data structure. However when I upload the form, form data does not pass automatically to specified context node.
Do I miss any important step in between? I am on SAP NetWeaver 2004s SP10.
Thanks,
Nitesh Shelar.

hi,
the data is automatically passed to the context when the "interactive form" UI element is there in the view.
when you just upload the pdf, just like that, it will treat it like a PDF file, not an interactive form....
try using the same interactive form which you used to create the offline form.
i hope this helps,
regards,

Adobe Interactive forms - ABAP Webdynpro or JAVA Webdynpro?

Hi,
I am an ABAPER and I got few requirements for Adobe Interactive forms Offline Scenario/Online scenarios & ALV reports.
I have practiced a session ( How Tou2026execute an RFC model with inputs from Interactive Formswith RFC Module ) -JAVA webdynpro where it interacts with SAP via BAPI.
Now my question is I am bent more towards ABAP.. I want to do this in ABAP but unfortunately I haven't found any similar material for ABAP webdynrpo.Could anyone pls suggest me !
FYI.. We are also developing some ALV Webdynpro reports and I am using PURE ABAP which i like it.
So the other reason is we don't want install NWDI and complicate this structure as we don't have ESS/MSS requirment here. Just we need some forms/reports on portal.
Any suggestions and links which can help me here?

Hi Vara,
You can develop Interactive forms using WD ABAP also.
[E Learning- Interactive Forms using WD ABAP|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/media/uuid/c766e918-0b01-0010-99b1-c2b78cd059b3]
WD Java is useful in case, when your ABAP system is less than ECC 6.0. Otherwise you can achieve same functionalities in WD ABAP also.
Hope this will help you.

Get form values from an uploaded offline interactive form.

Hi,

I have created a button on the view. In the action, I have to get the values of the Email and PhoneNumber
How to capture input values from an offline interactive form.
Thanks
Srinivas

Hi Arafat,
I followed the how to do document https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/user-interface-technology/wd%20java/wdjava%20archive/offline%20interactive%20pdf%20form%20using%20download.pdf , and it mentioned what you just said. But I couldn't understand your suggestion "In second view you need to embed the IF element and create the required context attributs mapping for fields. Set the pdfMode as usePDF."
In the second view, I have created another interactive form for previewing the offline form.
I am able to preview the offline form. On submit action (submit button is on the view), when I print the context values, I get nulls.
Thanks

Missing code in "Offline Interactive Forms Using ABAP" SDN document?

I am trying to build a sample offline form scenario using the code published in the SDN document "Offline Interactive Forms Using ABAP" written by Vani Krishnamoorthy. Everything works perfectly up to the point where we instantiate the PDF Object to extract the data from the form. Then there seems to be some code missing just before we call the method SET_DOCUMENT. We are supposed to export the parameter pdfdata = pdf_data , but I cannot find where pdf_data variable is declared or assigned. Also, an ENDTRY statement seems to be missing.
Has anyone had success with Vani's offline scenario, and if so, do you know what code is missing, if any?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I found the missing code in sample program FP_PDF_TEST_06. Everything works well now.
The PDF file that was uploaded from the PC first needs to be converted from binary to XSTRING before you can create the PDF object:
data: lt_rawtab type standard table of raw255,
        g_pdfdata type xstring,
        l_len type i.
call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
    exporting
      filename                = l_filename
      filetype                = 'BIN'
    importing
      filelength              = l_len
    changing
      data_tab                = lt_rawtab   "PDF file (binary)
    exceptions
      file_open_error         = 1
      file_read_error         = 2
      etc. etc.
Convert binary tab to Xstring
call function 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING'
    exporting
      input_length = l_len
    importing
      buffer       = g_pdfdata              "converted to Xstring
    tables
      binary_tab   = lt_rawtab
    exceptions
      failed       = 1
      others       = 2.
if sy-subrc is not initial.
    message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
               with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
endif.
Instantiate PDF object..
data: l_fp     type ref to if_fp value is initial,
        l_pdfobj type ref to if_fp_pdf_object value is initial,
        l_fpex    type ref to cx_fp_runtime,
        l_type    type string,
        l_errmsg type string.
Get FP reference
l_fp = cl_fp=>get_reference( ).
Handle exceptions with Try..Endtry

Offline Interactive Forms (Web Dynpro for ABAP)

Hi Everyone.
Please help me!!!
Upload Offline PDF file to xstring context attribute by file upload in Web Dynpro parts.
Set Offline PDF file uploaded via xstring context attribute in 'pdfSource' property of interactive form.
I wish to view Offline PDF file and get data to context in 'dataSource' property of interactive form.
Below restriction.
- Web Dynpro for ABAP
- Offline Interactive Forms
- Zero Client Installation
- ABAP Dictionary-Based Interface
NetWeaver 7.0 (NW 7.0) SPS16

Hi Daisuke,
As per your requirement, to get done your work you need to create two Adobe Forms , one is for Offline Interactive Form and other is Online Interactive Form.
In offline Interactive you design your form and define the Layout type as zci layout and Abap Dictionary Based interface. And by executing the form you can save the form to your desktop.
Now in online Interactive Form you create the context similar to the one which has been created in the Offline Interactive Form. Now in one view you define the file upload functionality and in other view you define the adobe interactive form, for this the interface is automatically as it asks for the context and its of type XML based interface, also do maintain the context variable something like "PDFDATASTRING" with type XSTRING in the Component Controller and now in adobe view you give the property pdfstring as "PDFDATASTRING" and dont forget to provide the navigation of these two view, and set the File Upload View as default view.
The above functionality can help you in some way or the other.
Regards
Pradeep Goli
