Information regarding Adobe forms

Dear Gurus,
I need some basic information regarding adobe forms to be used in ESS MSS portal for doing some basic actions by managers like hiring/maintenance of data for his subordinates.
Are there any specific system requirements so that adobe forms display in browser without any problems? Is there any specific internet browser which works without any problems?
What time is considered to be best time in which an empty form can be displayed?
In one line what is the acceptable time for a form to load which is not considered as slow and is it linked with network connections or individual systems of end users?
Need your kind inputs on this topic........
Regards,
kitchlu

Form works in IE 6, 7, 8 and Firefox
Make sure you have adobe products above 8.1 (includes all adobe products)
In Reader -> Edit -> Preference -> Internet - you have setting to display pdf in browser.
For a small form with limited fields, 5-10 seconds launching time can be achieved.
Performance depends on number of fields, User events, no of backend calls, number of dropdown boxes, Servce size, Network etc etc. Optimized code is another aspect to look into

Doubt regarding Adobe forms used for PCR

Hey all,
I have a doubt regarding Adobe forms used for PCR.If i goto tc
SFP->form name (ISR_FORM_SPPM)->Layout->XML SOURCE-->
<base><server name><port>/sap/bc/fp/form/layout/</base>
But in tc SICF,i do not have anything beyond FP.It goes like this : sicf-> default_host->sap->bc->fp .
Could this be the possible cause of error why i am not able to view the forms in PDF format?
Can anyone , who has doen this before, please help me out with this issue?
Thanks,
Aditi

Hi Aditi,
Are you getting an error when you are trying to access the PDF form ?
Is ADS installed and configured properly ? Also let me know the operating system you are using, it's version, J2EE and Portal version.

Interactive Forms based on Adobe software is SAP's new solution for forms development. Its first release has the focus on interactive use of forms. High-volume printing is supported in principle, but - being a new solution - the performance has not yet reached the same level as Smart Forms or SAPscript, two established solutions that had years to grow. Interactive Forms is the only solution that will continue to be enhanced with new features, while SAPscript and Smart Forms will be supported without limitations.
When (or if) to move to Interactive Forms depends on your requirements. For interactive forms usage, i.e. the new functions, you have no choice, as the existing solutions don't support it. High-volume print scenarios need to be carefully analyzed to see whether your concrete requirements can be met at this point.
However, it is possible to move to Smart Forms and design your forms in such a way that a migration at any point in the future would be but a small step. Smart Forms offers from Web AS 6.40 a migration wizard to Interactive Forms. Technically, everything can be migrated, but we recommend against things like ABAP program nodes, for example.
You are not forced to ever go to Interactive Forms if you don't want to. It really depends on whether your client needs any of the new features in Interactive Forms. Also, if they are currently working with JetForms, they could enquire with Adobe directly what migration path they offer to the joint solution.

example
To get an overview idea about Adobe forms ,
Using SFP Tcode , first you need to create a interface . in interface you can declare the import and export parameters and also the declaration part, coding etc : This is nothing but similar to Function module interface.
And now we have to create the Form which is interactive. Create the form and enter the interface name which you have created in first step, so that the parameters , declarations of fields etc : will be copied and available in the form layout. So that you can drag and drop these declared fields ( dclared fields of interface ) to the layout.
Create the context and layout in the form.
The layout generated can be previewed and saved as PDF output.
Now we need to integrate the driver program and the PDF form to get the final output as per the requirement.
On activating and executing the form you will get a function module name just similar to smartforms.
The driver program needs to call this FM.
Refer to the below sample code :
DATA : is_customer TYPE scustom.
DATA : it_bookings TYPE ty_bookings.
DATA : iv_image_url TYPE string.
DATA : iv_sending_country TYPE adrc-country.
DATA : it_sums TYPE TABLE OF flprice_t.
DATA : docparams TYPE sfpdocparams.
DATA : formoutput TYPE fpformoutput.
DATA : outputparams TYPE sfpoutputparams.
PARAMETERS : pa_cusid TYPE scustom-id.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM scustom INTO is_customer
WHERE id = pa_cusid.
SELECT * FROM sbook

Re: Adobe forms - interface type

Hi...
    When Iam creating the interface ... it is asking Description and
                                           interface type as         ABAPDictionary- Based interface
                                                                            XML Scheme- Based Interface
                                                                         Smartforms-Compatible interface...    Have to select one option.. In some Examples I didnt see this interface type Option... what is the use of this interface type...
Thanks & Regards,
Abaper..

hello again,
i tried to list all the things u need to know to create your interface:
1.      Open the required interface in the Repository Browser of the ABAP Workbench.
2.      The Interface tab is displayed. Under Form Interface, double-click the Import node
3.      You see a screen for entering import parameters. This screen also shows the standard parameter /1BCDWB/DOCPARAMS. You cannot change this parameter.
You use this parameter in your application program, to specify the value for the language setting, for example. To display this structure in the ABAP Dictionary, double-click the SFPDOCPARAMS type.
4.      XML schema-based interface
○     The standard parameter /1BCDWB/DOCXML with the type XSTRING is used for sending data from the application program.
ABAP-based or Smart-Forms-compatible interface
○     To insert a new line, choose Insert Line (This graphic is explained in the accompanying text). Enter the parameter names of the data you want to import. These names are valid for the whole form and do not have to match the variable names in the data collection program. All data types are valid. TYPE can be selected under Type Assignment.
5.      When you double-click Export, you see the standard parameter /1BCDWB/FORMOUTPUT of the generated function module. You cannot change this parameter.
Note: You use this parameter in your application program, to make the generated form available as a PDF for further processing, for example.
6.      To display the exceptions used by the generated function module, double-click Exceptions.
7.      Activate the interface.
Note: At runtime, the application program must provide the parameters. If a parameter has been defined in the form, but is not defined when the application program is called, then the output of the form ends with the program crashing (hex dump).
However, it is also possible that the application program provides parameters that the form does not need. You do not need to mention these parameters in the form; they can also be specified in a different order from the code of the application program. This has the advantage that an application program can work with several different forms.
Hope this helps
Cheers

ABAP Script value incorrectly reflected in ADOBE form interface.

Hi ,
I have an issue. In ABAP Script, the unit of measure value for VBDPL-VRKME is 'STK'. But it is printed as 'EA' in ADOBE form.
Would you please suggest me an idea to fix this issue as I am new to SAP not much aware of fixing issues other than debugging.
Best Regards

Go to SE11 for table VBDPL. Find field VRKME and double-click the data element. Then double-click the domain...MEINS. You'll note that MEINS has the CONVERSION routine populated. After you do a read on the database, call the conversion routine Function module (double-click the conversion field to get the name) to convert the database value to the display value. This is what SAP programs do when there is a conversion routine... In this case, you'll probably find that the EA is correct because 'EA' is likely the user-display value for database value STK.

Regarding adobe form using Webdynpro ABAP

Hi,
I am new to webdynpro abap.
Currently I am working on a scenario where..
I have a function module which generates the pdf for me based on the vbeln i provide in the first view. The only thing I have to do is to display the generated pdf on explorer.
As for as the examples i gone through.....I should provide the existing form name or the interface name. I don't have either of them as the function module is generating the pdf for me.
Could any one help me on this please....
Thanks,
Vijaya.

Hello Vijaya,
Please check out the following
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0de1eb8-0b98-2910-7996-8a3c2fcf6785
This is what will work for you with some modifications. Since in your case you are already receiving the PDF from the FM, just set the pdfSource to this value and you should be done.

Shubham

Regarding Adobe Form

1. There are two loops in my body page , and i want to start 2nd loop when my 1st loop data wil be completely shown ???
2. The data on the 1st page is not moving to 2nd page , what to
do in that case???

Hi Ankesh
about the tow loops:
u need to create 1 subform - flows logic
which contains 1 subform1 - positioned - which "repeat data for each item" is marked - this subform is related to the upper loop table.
the last subform (the nested one) should contain another subform - flowed content - which holds another positioned subform for the nested loop - "repeat data..." is marked here also
table (flowed) -> lines (positioned) -> upper loop data (position)
-> nested
for the other question - you should place the Table subform on the content area - in the Body page - this will make your data flows onto the next page.
hope it was helpfull

Adobe forms from scratch - Standard programs?

Hi,
I have just begun trying to implement Adobe forms from scratch at my company. Previosly we have used an external printing solution so I can't convert anything. My plan is to create a new output medium and let the users select the new type by themself. But I have a couple of questions:
1. How do I create a new medium (Examples: Print output/Fax/Telex, as found in t-code NACT - Processing routines)
2. I guess there are SAP standard printing programs, interfaces and forms, but I can't find them. I need to be able to print all the usual docs from orders, deliveries and invoices. All I have in NACT are old home-made (Z*) programs so if you know what SAP think we should use now, please let me know!
We have ERP6 ehp4 on netweaver 7 ehp1 and I have created one "Adobe form" myself so I can confirm that it works. but I don't want to invent the wheel twice...
Thanx in advance!
Br Linus Hellsing

Hi Linus,
I was wondering if you had a moment to comment on an opportunity that I am having regarding Adobe forms development efforts?
If so, please read on:
Our offshore team has worked on a development effort to replace Smart Forms PO's and Contracts with Adobe forms. They created new output types for these Adobe forms. In testing I noticed that the only way I can get them to print - is if I go into Print Preview and print -or- use SP01 and click on the .pdf icon and print. In both cases it uses Adobe Acrobat to perform the actually printing.
We cannot seem to get them to print using the normal SAP message utility. Our users would expect to continue to:
1. Use the Messages button while in the PO document - and select the new output type along with Meduim= Printed Output...
2. Then they select Further data button - to specify Send Immediately.
3. Then they use the Communication Method tab and specify the Logical Destination (as LOCL) and click on the Check box for Print immediately.
They get what appears to be an rambling of Adobe error lines followed by many blank pages....
At this point I am not sure if the print program is working correctly - or if the problem is with Adobe Document Services?
Have you ever encountered a situation like this during your Adobe development efforts?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards,
Steve

Calling adobe form from webdynpro abap view

Hi,
I need some help. The situation is: I have created a Adobe form interface as well as a form using the SFP transaction. Now, I have a webdynpro screen with a button, which upon pressed must give the output of the PDF form.
I tried the following steps:
1. Call function 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
2. Call 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
3. Call the generated function module name
4. Call FP_JOB_CLOSE.
The procedure works fine when I use the same code in a report program. It opens a dialog box where there is a option for Print preview and it displays the PDF.
But when I try to replicate the same, it does not work in Webdynpro for ABAP. Any suggestions as to how to go about this problem?
regards,
Praveen Kumar

Hi Praveen
there is documentation on the Web Dynpro for ABAP integration of Interactive Forms in the SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/aa/940ee5331b4b8fa0a6cb6714dc5db4/frameset.htm which should answer most of your questions.
You specify the form to be used during the design of your Web Dynpro application (you are prompted to determine it when you insert the UI element).
You can save the form from the Reader toolbar, the question would be why would you want to do this and not use a proper download screen.
A proper tutorial is planned to be available in June. Until then, check the ABAP page in SDN for some e-learning / webinar recording), or directly here: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/media/uuid/c766e918-0b01-0010-99b1-c2b78cd059b3
