Red Cross in place of interactive form in portal...

Hi Experts,
We have created an interactive form and embedded into portal.
Form Layout is ZCI and Display type is Native.
For majority of the users it is working fine. Where as for some users (Though they have Adobe 9 version) the adobe form is not getting displayed. Instead "Red cross" is displayed in place of form.
Please suggest us at the earliest as the form is in production now.
Thanks & Regards,
Phani.

Hi Friends,
The issue was due to Adobe Reader settings and finally resolved.
Here is the Answer:
In the Adobe Reader EDIT menu -> Preferences
Select Internet and check the Display PDF browser check box to make adobe active in portal.
I got the solution through SAP NOTE 989147.
Thanks a lot for all your help.
Regards,
Phani.

Does interactive form need acrobat 9 in EP 7 version ?

Hi,
After the portal was upgraded to EP 7, the adobe form stopped working for one of the components.
Its about opening PO details in adobe form and when the link is clicked, a red cross is seen instead of form or there is pop up to install adobe software. Interactive form is used in this web dynpro component.
This issue is not for users having acrobat 9 version.
I am looking for.
1) what is the difference betw interactive forms in web dynpro and non-interactive forms?
2)Is there any way to make this work without having to upgrade the adobe version for all the users ?
thank you in advace for any help

Dipti,
There is no separate UI element in NWDS. When you do a right click and edit the Interactive Form element, you open another Designer which is called Adobe LiveCycle Designer, just wanted to clarify it so that you don't gfet confused between Designer and NWDS.
Now in Adobe Designer, after the form is opened, from edit menu option --> Select form properties --> Goto Defaults tab --> See what's the preview type. If its Interactive then that means your Form is Interactive and if its Print then it will be a Print Form.
Also as per my knowledge Web Dynpro is recommended for Interactive Forms, so whenever you develop a form in WD (JAVA or ABAP) it will most likely be Interactive.
Coming to your other questions, at least I have seen on Adobe Forums @ SDN that people have had problems with Adobe Reader 8.0, Reader 8.1.1 is probably the best bet.
Adobe 9.0 is also working as you mentioned but can you let me know what's the version where the form does not work, as long as they have Adobe Reader 7.0.5 and above they should be good.
Just remove the ACF control as mentioned in note 846952 on the user's machine. Try opening the form once again, see if you get the prompt to load AcitveX installation and verify if you have done the necessary settings as per 1150277 and 766191.

Help required to Place Browse button in Interactive forms

Hi,
I am developing an interactive form in which I have to include a browse button. Is it possible?

Hi Amit,
Did you already solve this problem?
I have the request to implement this functionality also and can not find the browse../upload functionality in Adobe Designer.
I'm using NWDS 7.0.09, adobe designer 7.0.
As alternative I can make a checkbox in the Interactive Form with value "Want to upload?" > if checked after submit > fire plug to uploadView.
Does anyone know if there is a way to do this directly in the Adobe Designer?

Blank page when using Interactive Forms(Webdynpro thru Java)

While i was running the application using Interactive Forms iam getting Blank page.
Previously when i try to view the output, i can able to view it without any errors,suddenly what happened is iam knowing.
ADS was perfect,CredentialRights there,AdobeReader-7.0,ACF with SP11 installed and Active-X Controls Enabled.
Can i know where the problem exactly is?Is the problem from client side or server side or do i need any settings for IE6.0?

Hi Sankar,
Did you use NW04 SP11 before (with ACF) and upgraded to NW04<b>S</b>? Your ACF version you mentioned is for NW04S and not for NW04.
Also keep in mind that SAP changed the way Adobe forms are displayed (ACF will be replaced by the ZCI layout) - ZCI stands for Zero Client Installation. If you upgraded to 04S, you might need to change your forms as well (also the WD application).
On your interactive forms application (the webdynpro) are there any links outside the adobe form? What happens if you click on it? At our side we have created a customer message, since the ZCI form is not being displayed. We also get a white Adobe placeholder, and when we click on a link outside the placeholder, we see the Adobe PDF logo being displayed in the placeholder (placeholder = frame).
In your case: do you see a small red cross icon in the frame? That means ACF is not installed properly.

Fields missing in Interactive forms in SFP

Hi All,
I am using interactive forms (transaction SFP) for Prsonnel change request in MSS.When i go to this form ISR_FORM_SPEG thru SFP, i realised that come standard fileds like PERNR,ENAME etc are missing ( Generic ISR Table Type) are missing from the context folder of ISR_FORM_SPEG.Any idea how i can bring them back into place??
Regards,
Aditi

Hi Aditi,
Go to transaction QISRSCENARIO. check if these fields are there in the characteristics of the corresponding scenario (here SPEG). If they are there, click on the change button next to the form name in the Basic data of the scenario. A pop up message asking you to change the context fields as per the characteristics fields. This gets you to the ALCDesigner. Once the proper bindings are done for the form, exit and lets you go back to the qisrscenario transaction. save the data and also activate the form. <provided you are viewing the standard scenario in the change mode>.
else
copy this scenario and make the adjustments you need.
if there are some fields in the form that are not part of the characteristics, click on the import form fields button next to the form name. and save it.
Hope this will solve your problem.
do update the forum reg your findings.
Thanks and warm regards,
Anto.

Changing the background of a text field in adobe interactive forms

Hello All,
Is there any way to change the background colour of text field in interactive form dynamically.??
Thanks,

Naresh,
Change the language to JavaScipt in Script Editor of LiveCycle Designer and use the following code to highlight the area of TextField where R,G,B means that you have to give the RGB values of the color you want.
<YourTextFieldName>.border.edge.color.value = "R,G,B";
For eg:- If you have a textfield with name TextField1 then this will highlight the TextField1 area in red color.
if ((TextField1.rawValue==null) || (TextField1.rawValue==""))
TextField1.border.edge.color.value = "255,0,0";
You can use this on exit event of Textfield1 or at the submit button where you check the form data.

How to use an Interactive form in a CAF Application service operation ?

Hi,
I have a peculiar requirement here:
The user wants that on the trigger of a specific operation an operation of the Application service should get invoked: this operation should pick up a Adobe form template from a destination and then prefill this forms with some values and then store the same in the backend DMS.
It's very easy to accomplish this task in WD Java with the use of Interactive form element but here we don't want any kind of user interaction for these forms, just the form templates will be prefilled with some dynamic values and then the same will be saved as is.
Can some one please provide some insight into how the same can be acieved, any API's etc?.
Please reply ASAP.
Regards,
Manish

Hi Manish,
If I get you correctly then you want to Upload a prefilled Adobe IF from some location without any user interaction and save it to some Backend/Temp storage: You need to have something like you have a user inbox and mail comes to this with the Adobe Form as an attachment, you extract the attachment and read it using available Java apis for reading. You can also specify a particular folder where you can place the filled form and then read it using FileInputStream and can save it in the backend after you have it in binary form in your application.
Hope this helps!!

Adobe Interactive Form in Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi all.
I want to create an web dynpro application in ABAP using an Adobe Interactive Form. Can anybody share the document regarding this or any articles.
Thanks & Regards
Sagar Ingalwar

Hi,
it is so simple..
1) Create AdobeInteractiveForm UI element in your screen.
2) Create pdf_source for pdf source attribute to bind it should be byte data.
3) Create node for data Source. (The data which you want to place on the pdf form)
4) right click on interactive form UI element & edit
5) PDF editor will be open.
6) drag the required data fields from data source to the form.
7) place submit button on the form.
Finally there are two kinds of interactive modes
1) native mode (it runs on firefox browser)
2) active X mode (it runs on Internet Explorer 6)
Please use appropriate submit button on the form (i.e. native/ActiveX submit button)
Best Regards

Hi,
I have developed a Adobe interactive form in SFP and then i developed webdynpro component , then integrated into webdynpro. while running the webdynpro application which is showing the adobeform but the input fields are not allowed to enter value.
The same adobe form can be allowed to enter values while running from the report. i dunno how to set the value of the importing parameter fillable = 'X' in webdynpro.

On the interactive form - the filter icon

I have a user that has a dumb question, they want to the filter to go away they selected when they come back to the first page of the interactive form, when there is no data left.
Of course all they have to do is click the x to make the filter list appear. The reason it says no data when you go back to the first form is that that records no longer meets the criteria for the filter. The user wants the filter with the green check and the red x to disapear if there is no data left for that filter.
Hope this makes sense.

Hi -
Two things you might want to look at are:
1) To reset an interactive report in a link, use the string "RIR" in the Clear-Cache section of a URL. This is equivalent to the end user choosing the Reset option from the interactive report actions menu on the target page. The report is returned to the default report settings specified by the developer.
or
2) You can reset a report with a js call also: javascript:gReport.reset()
Good luck.

How open an interactive form in a tabstrip of Firefox

Hi ,
I have developped an application which involves interactive form . Now I want to display the pdf in a new tabstrip of Firefox.(after clicking on a button).
Do you have an idea to display an interactive form in a new tabstrip,please?
Actually to solve this problem, I have used a "LinkToUrl" UI Component which opens PDF in a new tabstrip of Firefox but I have an other problem that is I MUST clik on the link opening the PDF in a new tabstrip( but I don't want to click).
The code used is :
byte[] pdfSource = wdContext.currentGlobalElement().getPdfobject();
     String pdfName = "form.pdf";
     IWDResource webResource = WDResourceFactory.createCachedResource(pdfSource,pdfName,WDWebResourceType.PDF);
     String pdfUrl2 = webResource.getUrl(WDFileDownloadBehaviour.OPEN_INPLACE.ordinal());
     wdContext.currentLinkURLElement().setLink(pdfUrl2);
(The attribute "Link" is the reference of the UI Component.)
Can I execute a code no clicking on the linkURL,is-it possible to call an action dynamically in the code java?.
Please guide me how to goahead.
Thanks

Having trouble having both an interactive form and an interactive page curl in a pdf?

Okay, so I need an interactive pdf with a page curl AND an interactive form. I exported my Indesign file as a swf file with the interactive page curl, (which the interactive form doesn't work on), then I imported the swf file back into Indesign, opened the media tab and chose the option to 'open file on current page' so that when I open the pdf it doesn't ask me to activate the file before use, and then export as an interactive pdf. the interactive page curl works perfectly, but the form doesn't work. How do I put an Indesign form into my interactive pdf?

Hi Enrico,
If I understand correctly, you are calling the addInstance() on click of the button that you placed in your form and when you add more pages using this button and save the fikle and open it again, the newly added instances are not displayed in the form. Am I right?
If this is the scenario, the you need to store the value of the forms created using this button and call the same addInstance() method in the initialize event of your form. I.e place the same code that is there in click event of the button inside the Initialize event of the form with the number that we have saved in some hidden field.
Hope this resolves your issue.

Adda more pages to an Interactive Form and the binary context

Hi to all,
my scenario is: I have a java webdynpro with a view with an interactive form of 2 pages. I inserted a button on the pdf which duplicates the second page (using java script). Then there is the "submit to SAP" button which transfers the content of the binary context (I bound it to the pdfSource attribute of the interactive form) to an R/3 system. The fact is that when then I read the "binary" file from R/3, I find only the 2 pages and not the pages I added with my button.
How can I do? It's important for me the possibility of having more second pages.
Sorry for my english,
Thanks in advance
Enrico
