Question For Adobe Developers: Form Autoresponder

Is there any plans to incorporate Forms Widget with Auto-responder like Mail Chimp or AWeber?? I have found the Mail Chimp widget from third party vendors to be woefully lacking.
Please let me know if this is a possibility in near future.
Thanks!
Gregg

As I understand it, the new FME (Jan 2008?) will include
support for mp3 audio and much higher audio bitrates, as well as
possibly DRM.

Questions regarding Adobe Interactive Forms capabilities

Hi,
We have the following questions regarding Adobe Interactive Forms.
1. Not able to create a text field with dynamic size according to the data entered in the text field in a form with Static Content type forms.   We use a scroll area, but cannot print content that is not visible in the scroll area.
    We currently have Designer 7.0 and 2004 SP 16. I tried to set Form Properties -> PDF Render Format to be Acrobat 7.0 Compatible Dynamic PDF but the text field did not grow dynamically.
2. Another requirement is that once one form is accepted by the Customer, we need to generate a second, new form (with all user entered information from the first form) and the customer should be able to print the form.
    To implement this, we need to have a form that can support dynamically growing text field in some areas, and specific positioning of form elements for other areas. Can we have a dynamic form which lets the fields grow dynamically according to the data entered in the field and with specific positioning of elements?
3. Sending emails from Offline forms Requirement is to send an email as soon as the form is accepted by our Customers. But the Customers can complete the form offline. Is it possible to automatically send an email in an offline forms without having the user push the send button from their email application? Can the Adobe Form do that part automatically?
Appreciate any help regarding above questions.
Thanks,
Kalyan

HI Francois,
Thank you very much for the very helpful information.
1. I am able to insert now the floating field inside a static text but the text does not grow dynamically even when I set the form type to be "Flowed Content". Is it something that required Adobe Designer 7.0 and also 2004s ADS?
2. I can still select only Flow or position content from the option but how can we use both in the same form? I am using Adobe Designer 7.0 and it allows to select only one. Is it again a problem in lower versions that I use?
3. This is an excellent idea and I strongly believe this is going to work (am trying to create POC for this solution). The form should be able to call the webservice as long as the user is connected to internet.
Can you provide your views on the first two points. I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Kalyan

Questions about Adobe Interactive Forms

Hi everybody,
I have some questions about Adobe Interactive Forms with CRM 2007.
I can create AIFs with the Template Designer via the WebUI. These templates appear e.g. for the account in the selection PopUp "Create from template". But these templates are not interactive at all, just the BP-information is displayed.
Is the template-function only a static way to create a static PDF from the BP-information? Or is there a way to have the BP-information loaded to the PDF but still interactive input to communicate via a webservice?
Thanks a lot for answers.

Ben.

Some Questions on Adobe PDF Forms

Hi,
I have some questions on Adobe Forms development (especially Adobe Forms in ABAP)
1)     In a form interface, in the Code Initialization can we use Object Oriented Syntaxes such as class method calls, etc?
2)     Can we declare Global Data variables with reference to Class References / Interfaces
3)     Can we use the latest ECC 6.0 enhancement framework to add code in the standard form interface to enhance / enrich some logic within the form? This is to avoid copying the form interface into a Z in order to enrich the form via coding?
Please let me know if this is possible at all and how
Will award points
Thanking You in advance
Regards,
Aditya

That is possible of course. You should use the PDFObject API for that requirements.
1. define a xml schema with all data given by SAP system.
2. create a form template which uses this schema as data connection
3. implement a java application (i.e. J2EE application) which:
- gets the data from SAP system and generates some pdf files (using PDFObject API)
- reads pdf files back to xml and submits the data to a BAPI

EHP4 necessary for Adobe Interactive Forms?

Hi,
I was told that EHP4 ( Enhancement Pack 4) is necessary for the "Submit" functionality to work with Adobe interactive form. Can anyone confirm this?

Hi, I have awarded the points and will award for this new question, not sure if I should open a new topic but my question is related.
Refer to SAP Note 1100846 - Purchase document PDF forms are not to be used.
Based on the note, it seems like there is a need to upgrade to EHP4 for purchase document PDF forms to work. Any comments or workaround?

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.

HTTPS communication for Adobe Offline form with SAP ABAP WAS

Hi Experts,
Can we use HTTPS communication method to call a SAP ABAP Web Service from an Adobe offline form?
Example : I have a SUBMIT button in my Adobe offline form and when clicked, it populates a sales order number in the form.
Here my SAP ABAP server from where it reads the info is using HTTPS communication method. Now if i use the same service with HTTP it works fine but if i switch the service to use HTTPS it shows me an error "Error attempting to read from file. <https://FQDN/<service name> .
I am using self-signed SSL server certificate from SAP ABAP server. But here i also see a certificate error in my browser (IE 7.0) saying "Untrusted Certificate". Is this the reason for my above issue?
I could not find any post in SDN giving me the answer.
Regards,
Hobin

Hi,
The Certificates are already imported into the Trusted Certificates Section. But the real Issue is regading the Adobe Offline forms. If I open the Adobe Offline forms in the Adobe reader 9.0 and the Web Service call is made based on the Https:// . It saying "Error attempting to Read the file". The Fully qualified domain name is also provided VA. I have tried to import the certificates to Adobe Reader's - Trust Identities but still it is not working . If I switch the webservice authentication method to Http:// then it would work. ADS is already configured with SSL. And the HTTPS:// based WebService embedded in the Adobe Interactive Form is working ,if the form is Online in the Browser (integrated in the Webdynpro Abap UI element).
Is there any other way to Add SSL Certificates to Adobe Reader , so that Https:/ based webservice will work if the Form is opened in Adobe Reader 9.0.
Regards,
Hobs

Authorizations for Adobe Interactive forms

Hi,
During Adobe configuration I encounter serious trouble in determining the needed authorizations. We implement basic Adobe forms initiated by managers.
Can anyone please instruct which SAP ECC roles are needed for executing Adobe Interactive forms?
Situation
We assigned the Adobe roles:
SAP_BC_CM_USER
SAP_ASR_MANAGER
The manager has also assigned authorizations to view PA objects for subordintes.
With extended authorizations I can start new process. However, when the process is started with same user but with the authorization mentioned above I receive the following error:
"No Adobe Form Is Assigned to the Scenario"

Hi Tom,
When you are familiar with authorizations in PFCG trabsaction you are finaliar with S_DEVELOP if not ask the authorization team on your project.
Basically this authorization object handles the read/write etc authorization related to devlopment objects. If you implement Adobe forms you will probably develop your own forms or at least copy the SAP forms to customer namespace.
For Adobe you will therefore have 2 custom development objects (1 for the form and 1 for the interface that is automatically generated). The end-user shoulf have at least READ access to these objects. If not the portal will trow an error on this.
To determine the tech names of the objects find the form and related interface in transaction SFP. These should be inserted in the object S_DEVELOP in the role for the end users.
You may want to consider to put the value Z* in the object which will give authorization for all the custom developed objects.
If you can't find the object reply again and i will send a screenshot.
Finally, make use of the splended transaction ST01!! It will make your life a lot more easy in portal! It traces all the authorizations needed and missing for any user you specify. After activating the trace and running a portal scenario the log will tell you want went OK and what not on an authorization object level.
Good luck,
Thomas

Web Dynpro render configuration for Adobe Interactive Forms

Hi,
Is there any possibility to check rendering configuration for Web Dynpro application? I built web dynpro application which shows simple Adobe Interactive Form. In Sap Adobe LiveCycle Designer all buttons of Interactive Form are working (JavaScript) but in the form showed by web dynpro application in IE buttons have no action. Do You know what is the cause or where to search?

Hi Pawel,
The interface of the UI element InteractiveForm contains the method SET_LEGACY_EDITING_MODE, which in turn contains a Boolean parameter. The form is then ready for input
method WDDOMODIFYVIEW.
data: LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM type ref to CL_WD_INTERACTIVE_FORM,
LR_METHOD_HANDLER type ref to IF_WD_IACTIVE_FORM_METHOD_HNDL.
check first_time = abap_true.
LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM ?= VIEW->GET_ELEMENT(u2018INTERACTIVE_FORM_1u2019).
LR_METHOD_HANDLER ?= LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM->_METHOD_HANDLER.
LR_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_LEGACY_EDITING_ENABLED( abap_true ).
endmethod.

Regarding FormCalc Scripting for Adobe Print Forms

Hi Friends
I am working on Adobe Print Forms.
I wish to write some FormCalc Scripting in form on date field.
I want to know the meaning for the below scripring :
$.format.picture = DateFmt(2, $.locale);
$.ui.picture = DateFmt(2, $.locale);
$.assist.toolTip.oneOfChild.value = LocalDateFmt(2, $.locale);
Can anyone please explain me the above scripting in detail.
Points are assured for useful answers.
Regards,
Sree

Hi Susy,
This is a problem with the transaction SPF. The Adobe form painter i.e. SPF transaction is still not very stable.
I had faced the same issue when I was working with SAP labs for developing the SAP standard reports.
Hope this problem is resolved in future versions. But currently there is no solution as such to it.
I think its better that you create the form yourself rather than uploading the PDF document.

Pls. reward appropriate points

PAsword Protectiong for adobe Offline Forms

Hi,
Can anyone help me in the below scenario.
I have an offline Adobe Interactive form.
This form needs to be password protected so that only authentic users can view the form.
Thanks
Nancy

Hi,
<b>I have changed the mode to UpdateDataInPDF mode.</b>And now it is giving <b>500 Internal server Error while deployment.</b>
The usePDF mode is working perfectly but then it cannot be used for displaying data fetched from SAP R/3.
For displaying data mode has to be updateDataInPDF but its giving a deployment error.
Does it has anything to do with proper installion of ADS Service on SAP WAS?

WebUI Print Preview (Action Definition - Print) for Adobe Interactive Forms

Hi All,
As mentioned in subject, how to define an CRM Action Definition (with or without Action Condition) to Print an Adobe Interactive Forms. We know how to define a setting for Print Preview function in CRM WebUI via Action Definition - Smartforms Print. Now we want to print preview from CRM WebUI document on Form designed in Adobe Interactive Forms (tx SFP).
We have tested using Action Definition - External Communication, we can set the AIF form here. We tested in GUI (tx crmd_order) and it works. But when testing preview on CRM WebUi it shows "Error in Smartforms".
Somehow it still detect as Smartforms instead of Adobe Interactive Forms.
We prefer if this preview can be done via Action, because it is straight forward function for printing.
Should we use Action - Method Call instead ? How is the approach to do it in Action - Method Call ?
Any one try this before? Appreciate your sharing here.
Thx & Rgds,
Gun.

Hi Gunawan,
if I got you right, what you want is: Call your AIF when someone clicks on the "print preview" button in CRM WebClient. This should all work using a print action like with normal SmartForms.
I faced this problem some months ago on CRM 6. The problem here was quite simple: The SmartForm interface and the one of AIF are not compatible. Thus the service used for calling the print action from WebClient failed.
For handling this problem I enhanced the print service to call AIF correctly.
In customizing I used print actions that call a method.
As mentioned this lays back some months already. Maybe SAP came up with a better solution by now. I saw AIF to have multilple interface types. One is an interface compatible with SmartForms. Probably you can use this one and the print service will work without any enhancements or modifications.
cheers Carsten

How to integrate Flashisland for Adobe interactive forms

Hi Experts,
Can you please help us in understanding how to integrate Flashisland with adobe interactive forms?
We need to add swf file in the interactive forms, which will be used in webdynpro abap application.
Any idea will be helpful for us.
Thanks for the support.
Regards
Sathish

Hi Sathish,
You can not add swf file in interactive form, however you can integrate you flash island with web dynpro ABAP application.
Adobe flash island and adobe interactive form are two different things and have different purposes.
You can have adobe flash island and adobe interactive form in a single WD application(even as part of the same screen), but still there will be integration on the data level not on UI level. The UI elements for both will react separately from each other and there can't be any integration of adobe flash island inside adobe form.
However you can develop a flash application using which you can view adobe interactive form similar to adobe reader and use this flash application as part of your WD ABAP application but that doesn't make any sense as without flash island we can show it in WD ABAP view.
I hope this will clear your doubt.
Regards,
Vaibhav
