Restrictions on PDF Form and Submit Form to email

I have two questions:
After creating my pdf form and sending it to the client, once they have filled this in is there a way to restrict the document from being edited again?
How do a add a submit button to the end of my form so that it automatically gets sent in an email?
First time user

Read documentation on CF8 : "Although forms created in
LiveCycle Designer allow several types of submission, including XDP
and XML, ColdFusion 8 can extract data from HTTP post and PDF
submissions only".

Form for my visitors to fill them out and submit them via email

Hello, I need to have several forms in my website and allow my visitors to fill them out and submit them via email, can I use FormCentral?
This is my website:
http://aiiav.org/cemetary/forms/
Thank you
Juan Pulido

Hi;
You could certainly use FormsCentral.
FormsCentral allows you to easily create forms that you can distribute either using a web form with a "Submit" button that sends the data back to FormsCentral and is available in your account for you to view and analyze, or you can also distribute the form as a PDF. The PDF can have a FormsCentral "Submit" button that (same as with the web form) sends the data back to FormsCentral, or can be saved without a Submit button allowing you to add your own Submit button using Acrobat which could be an "Email" submit button (which would email you the form data or the entire PDF).
If you chose "web forms" you could embed the form into your website for users to fill out right there and submit without having to send via email. You could have links to each embedded form on your site.
Here is an overview of FormsCentral, I'd be happy to answer any follow up questions: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1413
One note if you were to use PDF - your current PDF forms are set to open in the web browser. If you used FormsCentral PDF forms you would want to have a link that downloads the PDF to the users computer so they can fill out in Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader, filling out in the web browser, or with any other PDF viewer does not work correctly and is not supported. You would want to call that out on the download page to ensure users fill out in Adobe Reader.

The ominous Form Server Submit Form QPAC

I've seen here at least one more discussion thread regarding the ominous
Form Server Submit Form QPAC. I think many of the user got confused since this isn't a self-explanatory QPAC, espacially the name!
I've also studied the appropriate documention
"Using LiveCycle Forms QPACs". The documentation shows how to use the input and output variables of the QPAC. But it doesn't explain actually the intended use (in my opinion).
The bad thing on this is that I think the QPAC could even help me, if I would understand it.
Easy & short question:
Can I use this QPAC to convert a pdf document (stored in a document variable) into a form variable?
Any Feedback is welcome...
Nico

Hi Nico
Some background. When Adobe first launched LiveCycle, the first capabilities they needed to expose was encapsulated as Forms Server, and it provided:
1. Rendering a form. This would take a PDF or XDP file, plus some xml data, merge them together, and produce a PDF file.
2. Handling a form submission. This would take the data from an http request coming from a Submit button on a form, process it, and extract the XML data.
The Forms "Submit" QPAC is basically the submission API encapsulated as a QPAC. If you want to know exactly what it does, the best place to look is the LiveCycle Forms documentation.
So, to your question:
If a document variable contains a PDF form, you can use the Form Submit QPAC to extract the XML data.
A form variable is really just the XML data for a form, plus a reference to the PDF or XDP file that should be used for displaying the data - so if you assign the extracted XML to the appropriate node in the form variable, it should work.
I hope this long ramble is helpful.

Form Server Submit Form QPAC - Not pulling data

Hello everyone,
I wanted to see if anyone has encountered problems using the above QPAC.
My situation is as follows
1) User sends PDF back. PDF is sent back to workflow as a PDF (not XDP)
2) Form Server Submit Form is setup to extract the data from the form and put it in a document variable
However, that is not happening. I do know that the document is not broken when it is received from the Email Receiver QPAC (I've used the Avoka Document Extract QPAC to test the form itself) however for whatever reason, the variable is still empty after it is processed.
Any thoughts are appreciated!
Thanks,
Rob

Diff bet Adobe forms and smart forms?

Hi Friends
What is the diff between Adobe forms and Smart Forms
Thanks & Regards
Kanni

Hello,
Smartform:
To create and maintain forms for mass printing in SAP systems. Besides using the printer for standard output you can also select the Internet (by using a generated HTML output), a fax, or e-mail as the output medium. Smart Forms allows you to execute simple modifications to the form and in the form logic by using simple graphical tools
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/EN/16/a369b1800e4bdda978ee0fe3b7bd2c/frameset.htm
Adobe Form:
Interactive forms in PDF format that allow users to fill out the form on the screen and save their entries in XML format in the form. When the SAP system receives the PDF form, it extracts the data saved in the form, and can process it further.

Render Form Guide & Submit Form Guide

Hai all,
Could anyone tell me where can I find the properties or explanation for the Render Form Guide & Submit Form Guide services of Samples-Forms category, in Workbench ES?
Thanks,
Aswani.

Thanks a lot Scott..
Your explanation was really helpful..
I just want to tell you the reason, why I raised such a question.
When I first started to work on the rendering of forms using Livecycle Workbench & Workspace ES, I got to read two different pdf.s..
both named "fggettingstarted"..
which explains clearly the steps, right from creating a form, till rendering the same in workspace..
In the first link mentioned below, it is said to use "Render Form Guide" service & in the second link, "Render Form Guide ES Update 1" service..
Thats where, I got the doubt which one to use?
Please check out with the below links..
Under the topic "Creating an xfaForm variable" in the Chapter "Using a Form Guide in Workspace ES".
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/es/fggettingstarted.pdf

What is the diff b\w open form and start form in scripts.

Hi,
can any one tell me what is the diff andb\w open form and start form in scripts.when we should use open form and when start form.

Hi Friend.
I have understood some usefull information and would like to share with you.
Within one transaction, you can open and close several layout sets using OPEN_FORM and
CLOSE_FORM, however not simultaneously. You can use parameters in the OPEN_FORM to control
whether the output is stored in the same print request. But also the SAP spool decides,
depending on several plausibility checks, whether new output is appended to an existing
print request or whether to create a new print request anyway.
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'
You cannot combine ABAP/4 list output and SAPscript output in one print request.
START A LAYOUT SET AGAIN
Usually a print program does not print only one urging letter or one account statement, but
several layout sets for different customers. To have the output for each customer begin with
the start page of the layout set, you must start the current layout set again and again.
To start a layout set again, you must first end the current layout set and then open the
layout set again. Within one print request, first call the function module END_FORM. It
executes the final processing for the current layout set. Then start the layout set again
using START_FORM. Output then begins again on the start page of the desired layout set.
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'START_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'END_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'START_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'END_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION CLOSE_FORM
Hope your obstacle is cleared.
If not do ask me again?

Source tables for forms and tabular forms must have a primary key.

Why does HTML DB 2.0 return the message
"Source tables for forms and tabular forms must have a primary key."
when trying to generate a "Report and Form" page based on a view defined like "create view <applicationschema>.a as select * from <sourceschema>.b" ?
It should be possible for HTML DB to "see" that the table "<sourceschema>.b" already has a primary key.
bw - Christian

Christian,
In the create application wizard, when creating form or tabular form pages, you can only use tables with primary keys, and not views, because that wizard is automatically deriving the primary key from the table definition. If you want to build forms on views or tables without a primary key, you need to use one of the create form wizards while working on an existing application. Those wizards allow you to pick your own column as a primary key column.

Marc

Access denied for Association form and Initiation Form in SharePoint 2013 Workflows VS2012

Hi,
We created one simple Sharepoint 2013 approval workflow that has custom association and initiation forms. The workflows works when the workflow is created by the site owner. But when a user with edit permissions try to start a workflow
or associate a new workflow we get Access Denied error message. I believe this permission is somthing todo withthe workflow list wfsvc where these association form and initiation forms reside. What else could be missing here?how do i check permission on the
wfsvc list. please help. User also have create and edit permission on the workflow history and workflow task lists.
Thank you

If it works with Full control permission then there is something on the site which is causing this issue.
Try to collect HTTPwatch or fiddler trace to check more details.
Also You need to enable Verbose logging to check details. If possible paste the verbose logging in the comments.

What are the differences between SAP Scripts and Smartforms?
SAP Scripts are client dependent whereas Smartforms are client independent.
SAP Scripts require a driver program to display the output whereas in smartforms the form routines can be written so that it is standalone.
An integrated Form Builder helps to design Smartforms more easily than SAP Scripts
An Table Painter and Smartstyles to assist in building up the smartforms
On activation a function module is generated for Smartforms
It is possible to create a Smartform without a main window
Smartforms generates XML output which can be viewed through the web
Multiple page formats is possible in smartforms
How can I insert symbols in Smartforms?
Select the Text node.
Change Editor (Click the button above Check near the Editor)
Go to menu Include->Characters->SAP Symbols
Choose the SAP symbol that you want to insert.
I have a smartform which works fine in DEV. After trasnsporting it to PROD, there is no Function module generated for this smartform. As a result my program dumps in PROD?
The Smartform that is created in the Development may not have the same name in the Production server. So it is always advised to use the Function Module SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME to get the Function Module name by passing the Smartform name.

How can I provide a background shading to the table?
In the Table Painter, you can specify the color and shading for the table lines.
Where can I provide the input parameters to the smartform?
The input parameters for the smartform can be defined in Global Settings->Form Interface.
The Associated Type must be defined in the ABAP Dictionary.
Where can I define my own global types for the smartform?
The global types(within the smartform) can be defined in Global Settings->Global Definitions->Types
The types defined here will be global through the entire smartform.
Also the form routines can be defined Global Settings->Global Definitions->Form Routines
I have defined my own Program Lines, where I have used a global variable G_TEXT. I get an error G_TEXT is not defined?
Whenever using the global variables in the Program Lines, enter the variable name in Input Parameters if you are going to use(read) the variable. If you are going to both read/write the variable value enter the same in Output Parameters.
I have created a table node for display. Where can I check the condition which must satisfy to display the table?
The conditions can be defined in the Conditions tab. In smartforms all the nodes have a condition tab where you can specify the condition to be satisfied to access the node.
How can I define Page Protect in Smartforms?
To define Page Protect for a node go to the Output options and check the Page Protection checkbox.
What is the difference between Template and Table in Smartforms?
The Template contains a fixed number of rows and columns, where the output is fixed.
The Table can have variable number of rows
Where can I define the paragraph and character format for the smartforms?
The paragraph and character format for the smartforms can be defined in the transaction SMARTSTYLES

Can I make a PDF form and submit to CF?

Hi.
I'm wonder that can I make this.
I'd like to design a form like Purchase Order sample from
LifeCycle Designer. And want to submit it like a POST method to a
ColdFusion backend. Think like a HTML form submission.
Could it be possible? Or I've to have LifeCycle ES for this
kind of task.
PDF form generated from CF and submit to CF -> Database
seems like an attraction to me. No hassle to fix CSS bug.

Read documentation on CF8 : "Although forms created in
LiveCycle Designer allow several types of submission, including XDP
and XML, ColdFusion 8 can extract data from HTTP post and PDF
submissions only".

Interactive Forms and submit to sap

Hi Everybody!
I'm doing a application using interactive forms and web dynpro. However nothing happens when pushing the Submit to SAP button.I've been watching all foruns about this issue....but the submit to sap button doesn't work.
Could somebody tell me where I can find a read-to-use project that works fine with submit to sap button?
Thanks!! =)
(I'm using WAS 6.40, the Adobe reader 6.0.2, NDS 2.0.11 and the ACF is installed.)

Hi Luiza
some of the interactive Adobe tutorials on the Web Dynpro tutorial page also contain Submit buttons.
Check this page: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/49f2ea90-0201-0010-ce8e-de18b94aee2d#pdf
