Putting Adobe Forms (Response Files) Online

I have created an online application form. Though the location of my form resides on my computer (I also uploaded the form to a website). The response file is located on my home computer.
When people fill out the form and click submit, it only works if my computer is attached to the Internet which has frequent downtime, so I want to place the response file (I think that is what I have to do) on a website I have hosted that is always up 100% of the time.
Though I can edit the file location of the response file, it does not allow me to put in website information.
1. Is all I need to do is place the response file on my Internet Web Site to ensure that it will work 100% of the time and users won't get a message?
2. How do I do that?

My question doesn't quite fit under this category - but I cannot seem to submit a new questions. So here it goes....
I am creating three different forms for an upcoming international conference. I would like to include a submit button on the form. I would like this to result in the PDF file being sent to an online storage file (not Acrobat's site) such as Google sites.
When I edit the properties of the button there is a field labeled "Enter a URL for this link" and I am assuming that this is where I could set this up, but I've not been able to figure out how.
Alternatively, what is that field labeled "Enter a URL for this link" for anyhow?

Adobe Form; Fields missing in form response file & .csv export

I created a form in Adobe Livecycle 8 and everything was working fine. Our company upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and now when I receive a form response via email, some of the data elements to not show up in the 'response file', therefore the data elements cannot be exported into excel. I am using 'compile returned forms' and following the wizard so I don't know what I'm missing. I am at a loss and am under a time crunch to get this fixed. Any help would be appreciated!

SOLVED
No errors when I go on the page for upload.
I solved by restarting the portal.

How do I reconnect a distributed form/response file created in 9 to XI so I can get my responses?

I've created quite a few forms in Adobe Pro 9 and have recently been upgraded to Adobe Pro XI. When I opened my response files I get a message that the response file is no longer connected to the server. How do I reconnect it so I can pick up the data that has been entered and is waiting for me to download? BTW, when XI was downloaded, it wrote over the Pro 9 program. Please tell me there is a way to do this so I don't lose what has already been entered and have to redo it all.

This is the Adobe Reader forum; you are more likely to get a useful response if you ask in the Acrobat forum.

Attaching photos to an Adobe Forms response

Good Morning:
Is it possible to attach a photo / photos along with responses to an Adobe Forms survey form? I would like to send a marketing survey to our physicians and have them attach a photo of themselves to the survey. Please advise, thanks.

Jim
What's abnormal about it? That's how you were always meant to do it.
The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.
And, if you think it was not necessary then bear in mind that today on the v6 forum there are at least three people who have done this, and that's just this morning.

Form - Responses files

Good day,
I created a form in Adobe Acrobat 9 for an event at our company and people began to send them back. When I add them to my responses files they don’t show up on the list, but if I double click on them, they appear correctly in the form itself. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v679/FI_ColdBlood/responsefilebug.png)
Don't know what would do that?
Thanks for the support.

Sorry, there currently isn't a way to do that. You can only download a PDF showing all of the responses.

Fields Missing in Form Response File CSV Export

I've distributed a survey designed in LiveCycle 8.2 which has been completed by a number of users and returned via email. I then imported those submitted forms in to the repsonse file. When I export those responses in a CSV (and pull them in to Excel), a number of fields are not included. After a little digging, it seems that I failed to give those fields a custom name when designing the form. This seems to be the only consistency, so I have to assume this is the cause. Firstly, is this case?
Secondly, what is the best way to correct the situation. I anticipate receiving over 60 more responses, so I do not want to have to enter data by hand. I've tried renaming the field in the response file -- no effect. I've tried also updating the form and creating a new response file. The submitted forms were added (though I did receive a warning that not every field mapped) and those fields which had not previously been named were full of nulls -- I assume they could not be mapped due to the difference in the underlying field name.
Resending the form is really not an option at this point -- I will be getting more forms like this over the next weeks. What is the best way for me to get all of the responses in to my excel file? Thanks.

Adobe forms with file attachments

Hello,
I want to use file attachments in my offline adobe forms. I have found some articles about how to do that but it was all related to webdynpro which i'm not using for this scenario.
Does anyone know how to do that in plain ABAP?
Many thanks in advance for your help!
Best Regards,
Tijana

I'll answer on my own question
I found the answer in the test program FP_PDF_TEST_16.

Convert Adobe form (PDF file) to Word file

Hi,
my need is in the title, i would like to convert a Adobe Form, in fact a pdf file to word file. What is the best way ? And of course is it possible ?
Thanks for your help.
Cheers.

Hello,
nothing like this cannot be done. You can generate interactive form if you need your user to fill in some more details. You can generate Word for example using OLE. There is a nice SDN contribution on generating MS Word using SAP Word OLE. Regards, Otto

Can I create a new form response file if the original is missing

I distributed a form through acrobat.com. And now I cannot find the form_responses file (the form_distributed file is gone for that matter too). I do not want to send out a new form for people to fill out, as it would be too difficult logistically.
Is there some way to create a new response file - perhaps using the original form - that can download the data from Acrobat.com?.
Thanks,
Matthew

Creating a new file with the extension Filename_responses will not collect the previously distributed form data. If you have the original _responses file, try copying it back to the actual location. However, the information for the distributed forms are still saved in a file named "adhocWorkflow". The information inside this file determines the distributed form data and other workflows.

Adobe Forms Response Table View

Can you format table so the data default view is at top of cell?

Thanks for the clarification.
If you apply the style change after selecting the entire column, as shown below, the style is applied to the column and is inherited by new rows.

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 forwarded for Approval.. 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 rejected 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

Adobe Forms in Guided Procedures

Hi all,
I have the 'My First Days' Guided Procedure assinged to a user and am trying to customize it for a demo. I am trying to display an adobe form in a separate section in the My First Days Procedure and so far have been able to configure the action and block in order to display the adobe form.
When i try to add the Adobe form as a 'Interactive form' type, it gives me an error saying 'Could not retrieve template fields: Wrong document format or adapter mismatch.'
I have checked the adobe configuration and it seems to be working fine. Can anyone tell me why i get this error and what is the best way to resolve this issue?
Also, if Adobe forms work fine for manager self service in our systems, should they work fine in the Guided Procedures too ?
Thanks,
Bhushan.

Adobe Forms SP 10 failed

Dear all!
I'm using J2EE Engine with SP 10. I'm trying to run Adobe Interactive Forms but failed.
what I did:
- deployed Adobe Forms sda files for Service Pack 10 via SDM on the J2EE instance
- installation of Adobe Reader Version 6.0.2
- enabled Active X in IE Version 6
- worked through post installation activities (IIOP Services start automatically)
- worked through the Configuration Guide for ADS (ADS User etc... )
not sure:
- do I need credentials for SP 10
Visual Admin -> Server node -> Document Services Licence Service tells me: "License Compliance: yellow traffic lights, you do not require a license at this time"
- is the deploy of the sda files on SAP Service Marketplace sufficient as installation of the Adobe Services?
Error:
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.pdfobject.core.PDFObjectRuntimeException: Service call exception; nested exception is:
com.sap.engine.services.webservices.jaxrpc.exceptions.InvalidResponseCodeException: Invalid Response Code: (401) Unauthorized.
Any hints? Thankx
Christoph

Hi Christoph,
you definitely need the credentials to run an interactive form, without them the ADS cannot create the fillable PDF. Likewise, you'll need to go through all other steps described in the ADS Inst Guide and Config Guide.
In addition, for the run time you need the Active Components Framework for Interactive Forms (see SAP Note 736902).
With SP10, there was also an installation issue (see this thread for solution: Problem in ADOBE Editor).
Hope this helps,

How to configure adobe forms in OMLV for printing picking slip

Hello,
I want to configure a adobe form in OMLV transaction. But there is no column for putting adobe forms.
Can you tell me how do configure adobe forms for getting it printed from standard transaction whenever a transfer order is created.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ajay,
You are completely right that you cannot find anything with smartform in the customizing (OMLV). The reason for it: It is not there. It not even exists. Also the latest version of rlvsdr40 has nothing standard concerning smartforms.
I do not know why it is really necessary to use adobe or smartforms.
The only way is to build a new one (ZRLVSDR40). In that new one you have to use the sapscriptname (from OMLV)and treat it as a smartform- name.
I hope my explanation helps. Success.

can you please guide me as to why quotation is not getting created?Is it that some more field is needed ?

someone had similar issue....i don exactly rrm the solution but it is something to do with subforms....
currently it is disabled because your subforms are of type that doesn allow it.
so you may play with subform types by changing them n then adding a table in it. IT will definitely fix the problem but you need to work on subform type.
