Requirements for displaying Adobe forms

Dear All,
I have developed an application with interactive form ui element(Adobe). When I deployed the application I was not able to see it initially but after the installation of ACF I am able to see it perfectly(thanks to Arafat in this forum). Now, I just want to know what are the end user requirements in order to be able to see the application on their end. My queries are:
1. What are the end-user requirements in order to see these adobe interactive forms?
2. What is the native type in interactive forms UI element and what does it do(if I set type as native)? In which version this native type is available. I am using 2.0.9 version right now(I have 7.0 version too) but I was unable to find this type in any of them.
3. Does the user requires the installation of ACF in order to view this adobe form once deployed on their server?
4. What is the minimum version of Adobe that needs to be available at the client machine in order to be able to view this interactive form?
I hope I am clear with what my doubts are. It's a bit urgent . Helpful answers will be appreciated with reward points.
Thanks and Regards,
Gaurav Bhardwaj

Hi Gaurav,
Here are answers to your queries:
1: End User Requirements -
If you are using activex controls:
- Adobe Reader 7.x or above and when using ver 8, then 8.1 & above
- ACF Installed
If you are using Adobe Native Controls:
- No need for ACF
- Adobe Reader 8.1.x or above
2: You can find native type nder displaytype property of Interactive form UI elemen. If you are using the nativ type, then it makes the ZCI.
3: Yes, if you are using ActiveX components in your form, then you need ACF
4: 8.1 or above is best... 7.x will also do but there may be some instances where 7 wouldnt work
Hope this resolves your issues.
Regards,
Arafat

Hello,
you need to provide the information via the interface, which you create for the Adobe form.
And then pass this values via the following function module inside your generation report.
CALL FUNCTION fm_name
check standard report : FP_EXAMPLE_01 as an example!

INBOUND MAIL PROCESSING in SAP for Offline ADOBE FORM Concept

Hi to all,
Please can anyone tell me, what INBOUND MAIL PROCESSING in SAP for Offline ADOBE FORM?
What is concept and how to use it, is any program need to write for that or only need to configure it.
I have searched the SDN, but only get topic how to configure inbound mail processing.
I am new to this area; please any one put some light on it.
I shall be thankful to you for this.
Regards
Pavneet Rana

Hi Pavneet,
Inbound processing of an offline adobe form consists of several things -
a) an email id to be created on the server (to accept the mail & process the adobe form - this needs to have the right roles)
b) the smtp config needs to be done by basis
c) the abap developer needs to create a handler class that gets called when an email is recd in SAP. This handler class has 3-4 methods (first to read the mail and extract the pdf, convert data in pdf to the abap variable, process the form to do the specific function in sap (which will vary from requirement to another).
I found this blog very useful when I was getting my adobe form done -
/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2004/09/09/receiving-e-mail-and-processing-it-with-abap--version-610-and-higher
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Liz

How to provide security settings for the adobe form using livecycleDesigner

Hello,
I am very new to form designing,
can any one please tell me how to provide security settings for the adobe forms at client side?
Regards,
Menaka

Hi,
that is a good topic for the ADFS forum.
ADFS forum - http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=Geneva
But you could pass the user-agent as incoming claim type Client User agent. User-agents can be manipulated, so if that is an issue you can look into Device Registration and the Device OS type from there. That is also a incoming claim but requires DRS and
DRS is not available for all plattforms.

Is it possible to display adobe form in Module pool screen using Custom control.
What is the use of the class CL_GUI_ACF_BASE .
Pls give suggestion .

Hi Krishnan,
It is the first time I came across such a scenario.
Hope such kind of scenario is not possible. Instead you submit your data to a report and display your
Adobe form.

Sign in required for my Adobe Premiere Elements 12, I purchased this in 2013. It says it will stop in 7 days. Why is this happening? It may happen to my Photoshop Elements 12?

You need to contact Adobe directly using the link below. Use the dropdown menu for boxes (1) & (2) to scroll down the list and choose:
1. Adobe Photoshop Elements
2. Adobe ID, and signing-in
3. Click on the blue button: Still need help? Contact us – then click the area marked chat 24/7, then click “start chat ”
It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get the problem fixed right away. Have your serial number available. The agent can directly troubleshoot your system if you agree to activate the Adobe Connect add-on.

Authorization Profile needed for ISR Adobe Forms

Hi,
We have a couple of Custom ISR's and PCR's that are launched in Enterprise Portal.
Well my Development ID had SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW Profiles attached.
Now, when we started testing with the sample Test id's which doesnt have SAP_ALL or SAP_NEW profiles, we are getting error in ENTERPRISE PORTAL saying that...
"You are not authorized to use the Notification Type 99"
Can anyone help me out in knowing the exact Authorization Objects for our Adobe Forms to run in EP.
I cannot attach SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW profiles to all my users.
Regards,
Raja Sekhar

Hi,
Im new to the ISR framework implementation.
We have a problem when we try testing a scenario using the adobe part, we have not done this before and we getting errors.
We get the following errors:
1. When using Administrator and Adsuser:
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.WDRuntimeException: ComponentUsage(FPMConfigurationUsage): Active component must exist when getting interface controller. (Hint: Have you forgotten to create it with createComponent()? Should the lifecycle control of the component usage be "createOnDemand"?
2. When i use my profile username:
com.sap.engine.services.webservices.jaxrpc.exceptions.InvalidResponseCodeException: Invalid Response Code: (401) Unauthorized. The requested URL was:"https://10.142.252.157:50001/AdobeDocumentServicesSec/Config?style=document:50000/AdobeDocumentServices/Config?style=document"
Can anyone advise me on what i should configure so that this can work properly...
Is it an issue with the authorisation, because the ADS tests are all working.
Thanks

Displaying Adobe Form through CRM WEB UI

Hi Experts,
Currently I am working on CRM Technical which is very new to me. I've got a requirement to display the Adobe form through CRM WEB UI. The requirement is like this.
In a screen of WEB UI there is a option of OUTPUT preview. When i select the specific billing document and when i click on OUTPUT Preview tab it should display the Adobe Form which was developed in SAP GUI using txn SFP. I have done some R&D on it and i found that an ACTION Profile need to be created for this kind of requirements. But in my research i found only Smartforms can be displayed using the ACTION point.. Could anyone help me out how to display the Adobe Form using the Action......
Regards,
Aarthi.
Moderator message: please have a look in the dedicated forum for "Adobe Interactive Forms".
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Jan 11, 2011 1:51 PM

Hi Robert,
I came across this post after implementing the same solution. It works fine for me in SAPgui, i.e. it creates an entry in the spool which I can priview or print, but when I use the webUI it just opens a new window with a white background and the message 'Error in smartform'.
Nitin, did you manage to come up with any solution? Or did this work for you?

Add a button to display Adobe Form through SPRO on T-code IQS22

I asked my question in hopes that somebody has maybe had a similar question or has dealtwith something similar to what I am trying to do
But you said you already know how to do this. You said you know how to create a JFrame and display it. So what is your problem?
You said you know where to add the code. So again what is your problem?
All you posted is code that was generated by the IDE. You have not make any effort to add your own code. Why do you think the code to show a frame here, is any different than the code you used to show a frame in the past?
You learn by trying, not by asking people to spoon feed the answer to you.
If you would even make the slightest effort at filling in the code where the IDE has told you to add the code I would be more willing to help. But apparently you have no desire to make the effort.

Transaction code for creating adobe forms

hi guys,
i was trying to learn adobe forms. can anyone tell me the t.code like where to create adobe forms.
points will be awarded generously.

Hi,
t.code SFP.
definition:
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 , 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
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_bookings
WHERE customid = pa_cusid.
outputparams-nodialog = 'X'.
outputparams-getpdf = 'X'.
*outputparams-adstrlevel = '02'.
CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'

ie_outputparams = outputparams

Issue with displaying ADOBE forms using ABAP dynpro

Hi all,
We are trying to display the adobe form in the portal using ABAP dynpro. but as i test the application in R/3 it throws the dump in ST22. if i see that dump it says Uncaught exception in ADS, forms are not interactive, data can be provided on interactive forms only. But if we try the same aplication using Java dynpro it runs successfully.
What can be the issue, is there any problem with ADS configuration.
Its urgent. Please provide some inputs.
Thanks and Regards

Thanks Abhi,
I checked displayType it is already native and form type also ZCI. still there is same problem
In st22, it shows exception as
Error analysis
WebDynpro Exception:
    The cause of the exception was:
ADS: com.adobe.ProcessingException: PDF is not interactive. Data can only be
    imported into interactive forms
thanks

Webdynpro for ABAP - Adobe form ISR based

Hi,
We are building a custom HR application to automate various HR processes
like New Hire, Termination, etc.. Due to certain internal issues we are
unable to use the standard business package for MSS (and hence PCR screens
with adobe forms). We have to create custom webdynpro abap screens for the
whole application. Now i would like to check if there is a possibility to
use the ISR framework with a custom webdynpro abap application.
I checked the transaction QISRSCENARIO but i could not find any option for
webydnpro abap in "Entry type for Web".
Have anyone of you tried such a scenario earlier with ISR's? Is there any other way
that we can use webdynpro ABAP applications with ISRs? Or do we have any
work around for this.
Please send in your valuable comments.
Thanks in advance!
Sudha

Hi Phani,
Thanks for the info.
I am able to see if it is not interactive.
Displaytype is native only.
Let me explain you the issue in detail:
Currently Client is calling ZFORM thro Java. They have some issues with JAVA so they want to use Webdynpro to call that ZFORM and the form is ABAP Dic based.
For Templete source I gave ZFORM name, and it automatically created a 'NODE' wrt the context in the ZFORM.
Now I have to pass data from difft node attributes to that 'NODE'.
Thanks in advance,
GG

Cannot display Adobe form as Callable object in GP

Hi all,
I'm trying to display an adobe form as an Interactive Form Callable object.
I've created a process -> block -> action -> callable object. But the form doesnt display. When I launch the GP runtime and initiate the process, I get the message "The next activity is not yet available: try again later using the "Refresh" button " nothing happens when I hit the refresh button.
Can someone advise me what I might be doing wrong? I've also tried things like consolidating parameters with other callable objects just to see if anything display, but no luck so far.
Thanks

Hi Som,
I'm using NW04s, EP 7.0 SPS 10
OS is Unix(server) Windows 2000 Pro (client)
Browser version is IE 6.0.
I just realised the system is sending out an email to the initiator, and the initiator is able to open the Adobe form. But who does the initiator send the email back to? I'm quite a newbie to this stuff so please bear with me. Also another question is, if the form is offline, then how do we know which workflow (GP) it will tie to once the form is submitted back to the system? In other words, does the person who receives the email with a filled adobe form have to manually initiate the workflow or is there a mechanism to automate this?
Thanks in advance
TM
