Read values from Adobe Interactive Form inside the webdynpro

Question

Hello,
I have problems to read the values of the fields inside de adobe. I read an article on saptechincal that told:
You can see the Adobe form that we have designed, enter the data as shown below and press the submit button. (As I said earlier an activex control will be installed on to the client machine, you can see the activex control in the internet explore go to the menu: ToolsàInternet optionsàgo to the programs tab àPress button Manage add-ons.
You can see an activex control named u2018SAP ACFu2019, if you donu2019t have this control you will not see this page: Note you need to have adobe acrobat reader 7.1 installed, I have used version 9, the activex control was not working properly so down graded my adobe reader to 7.1)
This is true ???  I have the Acrobat reader 9.3 and i saw that also have the SAP ACF installed.
The value of the property displaytype  on adobe interactive form on webdynpro is activeX or native.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
<p>
Thank you for the answer.
<P>
I change the value of the attribute but again i can read anything from the adobe form. So let me explain what i'm doing.
<P>
Objective: I have to create one webdynpro with an adobe interactive form for create new clients on r/3 system.
<P>
1. I create de the view with 2 elements an interactive form and one submit button.
<P>
2. Create the context of the view with the following tree:
<P>
> context (node)
<p>
   > ADOBE_DATA (node)
<p>
      > Clients (from KNA1 table) (node)
<p>
         > KUNNR
<p>
         > LAND1
<p>
         > NAME1
<p>
         > ORTO1
<p>
         > TELF1
<p>
  >PDF_SOURCE
<p>
3. Complementing the properties of the interactive form:
  datasource = clients node of the context
  displaytype = native
  pdf_source = pdf_source attribute of the context
  templatesource = name of the form
<p>
4. Create the form, and add the data source to the interface of the form
<p>
5. On the form bulider i add and subform on the hierarchy tab and the all the fields of the interface to the form and
automatically the value of the fields are binding.
<p>
6.Add a submit button from web dynpro native and add the event click to the button. Then i change the value of the layout type and save e activate the form and the interface
<p>
7. The next step is create an action for the button submit for the event  "onSubmit". So i create the function and start coding this code:
<p>
DATA: adobe_node    TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
<p>
        client_node   TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
<p>
        client_element TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
<p>
        client        TYPE if_create_client=>element_clients.
<p>
*Get reference to the adobe_data node from the context
<p>
adobe_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_adobe_data ).
<p>
*Get reference to the clients node from the context
<p>
client_node = adobe_node->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_clients ).
<p>
*Get element node
<p>
client_element = client_node->get_element( ).
<p>
*Get the values from the form
<p>
client_element->get_static_attributes(
<p>
    IMPORTING
<p>
      static_attributes = client ).
<p>
8. Then for finalize i add the view to the window and crate a web dynpro application and put one break point on the submit function event.
<p>
9. Activate and test the application and when the program try to add a reference to the element node always returning a null reference and the application dumped.
<p>
So please help with this situation i can't understand what is the mistake.
<p>
PS: Now i have installed the acrobat reader 7.0.8
<p>
