Result states and interactive forms

Hello,
I am currently building a process that solely uses interactive forms routed via email to the processors. Some of the forms include multiple buttons (i.e., "Approve" and "Reject") and based on the button pressed, the process must be routed to different actions. I originally built this process using online Web Dynpro forms where the result states were specified and set via code. Then, the action targets would be specified when the block was constructed. Is there something similar for offline interactive forms? Right now I am thinking of only having one submit button on the form and have the user specify the result ("approved" or "rejected") using a field on the adobe form. The value of the field will be submitted up to the process. The process, in turn, will inspect the value of this parameter and route the process accordingly. Any thoughts? I am currently using NW 2004s SP08.
Thanks,
Greg

you can have 2 buttons (Approve and Reject) on the form and use Adobe scripting to set the value of Approve or Reject to a hidden field. both buttons would submit to GP with same url. The value then can be used to do content-based routing using the alternative block and decision value CO.

PDFDocumentRuntimeException Error with web dynpro and Interactive Forms

Hi,
I installed on my notebook the Trail Versions of:
- SAP NetWeaver Application Server 7.00/Java AS 7.00
- SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio Version: 7.0.14
- Acrobat Reader 7.0.9
- Internet explorer 7.0.5730.13
I configured and tested the ADS after the configuration guide and i get the Version info sucessfully if I do the http://localhost:50000/AdobeDocumentServices/Config Test.
So i developed a web dynpro application with interactive forms after a tutorial and did exactly the same (so i think i have to configure something on the server or on the client). All other Webdynpro applications without an interactive forms are running without any problems.
when im running the application with the interactive forms this error occured:

Presenting the confirmation (result) on an interactive form

Hi,
I created a stand-alone Interactive form which is able to start a process upon completion and create a purchase requisition in R3 system.
After submitting the PDF form, I am receiving a standard "SAP Guided Procedures - Success" message that states "Your form input was successfully received by the Interactive Forms processor". I want to present a custom message with the "Purchase Requisition #" instead of the default message. How can I do that?
Thanks
Ram

you can create a standalone pdf template with a button calling a web service that will create a po, return the po number and start the gp process.
then render the pdf usage the rendering technique in Java api or Abap class described in the Adobe Interactive Form section of SDN or service.sap.com/adobe

WebDynpro and Interactive Forms

Goodday Guru's,
I've just started with SAP interactive forms and currently playing around with it. I've developed the form via NWDS and was able to launch it (the tutorials). One question here. How do i pass data between one form to another. Basically, i have one form with only 1 field. At the bottom of the form is a button (not part of the form) which will fire a plug and call form 2. What im trying to do is, when i click on the button, the data from form 1 is passed accross to form 2. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi
Consider in your second form there is a text field, bind the same element to the context of second view, then in the "value" field bind the same element as in first view, deploy and run

Relationship between WebDynproContext and Interactive Form (WebDynpro ABAP)

Hi,
I created a WebDynpro application including an interactive form. The context of the view contains a node 'Employeeinfo' with a further node 'Employeerecords' and a Attribute pdfSource. The node Employeerecords contains 2 Attributes: Employeename and Position.
the structure looks like this:
CONTEXT
___Employeeinfo (node)
______Employeerecords (node)
_________Employeename (attribute)
_________Position (attribute)
______pdfSource (attribute)
Employeerecords should be used as a table with the columns Empl.-name and Position. The Content of this table is filled by a Supply-Method.
I bound the properties of the interactive form like this:
pdfSource-> pdfSource
datasource-> Employeerecords
The Interface of the interactive Form is XML created by Context of the webDynpro Component.
When I start the application it is showing me an empty form allthough the Content was created correct by the Supply-Method ( I tested this with a WebDynproTable element in the same View). The table seems to be there ( I check this with a seperate color) but the Rows are not created.
It seems to me that there would be no relationship between the WD-Context and the Interactive Form.
Do you think it is a design mistake or a software problem?
I work with the following software components:
AdobeLifeCycleDesigner 7.1
Adobe Reader 7.0.9
SAP NW 04s
SAP GUI 6.4
ADS is working fine.
Could you please help me?
Thank you,
Nadin

check the following points
(this is an old version of requirements but still will help)
2-1 The SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio (Support Package Stack 11) including Adobe LiveCycle Designer (forms design tool) is installed on your computer.
2-2 You have access to the SAP J2EE Engine (Release 6.40). (Note that you can download an evaluation version (Sneak Preview SAP Web Application Server 6.40 Java) from the SDN Download Area at https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/downloadarea.sdn.)
2-3 Adobe Reader 7.0.x is installed on your computer.
2-4 The Active Component Framework (ACF) of the Interactive Forms integration is installed on your computer. With SP Stack 11, calling a Web Dynpro application that includes a PDF form for the first time should automatically install the ACF in the background. If you experience
difficulties that may be related to the frontend installation, please see SAP Note 766191 on the SAP Service Marketplace for manual installation.
2-5 The Adobe document services are configured on the SAP J2EE Engine you are using. To access the Installation and Configuration Guides for Adobe document services, go to http://service.sap.com/nw04installation → SAP Web AS → SAP Web AS 6.40 SR1 and Related Documentation → Adobe Document Services.
2-6 Basic knowledge of developing Web Dynpro applications. For helpful information about Web Dynpro, go to https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/developerareas/webdynpro.sdn?node=linkDnode6-2.

Workflow and Interactive form

Hi Friends,
First for I apologize for asking the same question that has been asked several time here. I'm trying to develop a custom interactive form that should go for workflow approval process before it can update data base tables. Can you tell w step by step process in order. I did search in th form but I am stuck with confusion of the order I should perform task. I mean show I start with sfp? what type of interface should I select?xl? then se80? can you give please guide me.
Thanks and god bless
Nash

Hi,
here is your step by step guide:
1) define the interface structure for your form (deep DDIC structure) using SE11
2) Create the form interface and the form using SFP
3) Implement some logic (e.g. function module) to create the form (extract the data form persistency, fill the interface structure and call the generated function module for the form generation). Store the workflow definition (LPOR) in the form.
4) Implement the Workflow:
   - Step 1: create the form and store it in the workflow container (ATTACH_OBJECTS)
   - Step 2: Send the email with the ATTACH_OBJECTS as attachments
   - Step 3: Wait for a "form received" event
   - Step 4: Store the received form in the Workflow container
   - Step 5: Create an "Approve" activity
   - Step 6: Store the data of the form in your persistency
You have to implement an Email exit (SO50) to process the incoming email containing the form as attachment. Extract the LPOR of the form and throw the Workflow event you are listening to (in your Workflow step 3).
That's quite all. Good luck.

Free Reader and Interactive Form

I am using the free Adobe reader to fill out an interactive form. When I finish, I need to save it as a non-interactive form. Is this possible in Free Adobe reader?

My users who will be filling out the form are going to need something simple to use. I was hoping that we could add PDF to the printer list and have them simply 'print to PDF'. Is this possible in free Reader?

Adobe forms and interactive forms

Hi Friends,
I am new to adobe forms. Can anybody explain in detail-
1) Why Adobe forms instead of smartforms.
2) Main use of Adobe forms.
3) How to become master in this technlogy.
regards,
phaneendra.

Hi,
Why Adobe forms instead of smartforms.
In US Under section 58 will say all the printing documents(forms) should be accessible by the blind people, so that is the reason SAP has been integrated with Adobe. So we can access adobe designer using the tcode SFP. After you develope a adobe form output by using JAWS software imapaired (blind) people can access the output. Access in the sense that software will read the contents in the output.
Main use of Adobe forms.
Once you activate the ADobe form system will generate the function modue, thouse function module you can call in the print program. so that pdf form will call and appropriate output will generate.
In adobe forms we dont have windows concept, instead we have master pages,body pages, with the help of data xml file you can get the output it means no need to execute the printporgram.
You can write the condition adobe form itself
if it is master page select the event as layout ready and run at client
if it is body page select the event as form ready and run at client
You can get the lot of information in sdn regarding adobe forms
Thanks

Interactive Forms and NWDI

We are having difficulty finding answers on how to control code management and promotion for our Interactive Forms by Adobe projects. We have tried to load our projects into the DTR and are having some issues, but we haven't even found anything that says that we should be trying to do so. Can anyone tell me if we should use the NWDI for our Interactive Forms code?
Thank you for any help.

Hi Christopher,
the decision on whether to use NWDI for your developments has in nothing really to do with Interactive Forms, but more with how you develop your Java applictions in general.
If you have the need for a centralized development infrastructure for, for example, Web Dynpro for Java applications (of which Interactive Forms can be a part), the NWDI makes sense. If it's OK for you to do only local (i.e. non-shareable) Java development, you're OK without it: Each developer simply installs a local Java stack and the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio, and away they go.
I may be simplifying here, but again: NWDI use and Interactive Forms are in no way related to or dependent upon one another.

Web Dynpro Java and Adobe Interactive forms Which Tool Should I Use?

Hello Experts,
Can anyone help me with deciding the right technology to use among WDJ and Interactive form by adobe. I want to prepare a presentation to showcase the strong and weak points in order to decide the final technology.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I personally prefer Web Dynpro Java without Interactive forms in most cases.
    Interactive forms are developed on top of Web Dynpro, so you are including an extra tier with the complexity it adds.
    PDF files tend to go big and performance tends to go down. In average, my forms weight between 1 - 5 Mb so network traffic is a bottleneck.
    The scripting environment is very poor.
    On the other hand PDFs interfaces are nicer than WDJ, but I think navigation is worst in part because of the performance issues. Considering this, reporting could be a good use of Interactive Forms.
    The best scenario for using Interactive Forms is for off-line applications, which can't be done with WDJ. For example, if you want your customer to fill an order list, you can send automatically an offline pdf file wich he can fill and submit to your company, initiating a bpm.
Best regards, Aldo.

Firefox and adobe interactive forms

Hi,
I am trying to get a web dynpro application to work on Firefox 1.5.
When I ran the application the first time in IE I got a popup asking to install a java object. I refused and got an error message in the browser saying it could not render the form. After installing the java plugin, everything was OK as rendering is concerned. But in FIrefox I still have the same rendering problem...
Have you any ideas of why this is occuring ?
Nicolas.
Message was edited by: Nicolas AURIGNAC

Hi Nicolas
in NW 04 any online scenario using an Interactive Form in Web Dynpro for Java can only be run in Internet Explorer after installing SAP's Active Component Framework (see SAP Note 766191) on the respective frontend.
This limitation will be lifted with NW 2004s SPS 7. Until then, if you want to combine Web Dynpro and Interactive Forms in online scenarios you'll have to work with Microsoft.
Kind regards,

Interactive forms in Interaction Center

Hi,
We want to integrate interactive forms (pdf) into the Interaction Center application. Based on some great tips from this forum I'm able to present pre-filled interactive form in a pop-up window.
But the big question is: How can we submit the pdf back to the Interaction Center application?
In the PDF I can specify a submit URL ( to my controller ) and the PDF correctly submits the pdf (or XML) to that controller. But our problem is that by submitting directly to the controller we lose all application context ( I guess the controller is not initialized correctly ). Hence we are not able to get hold of any Custom Controllers, and not able to store the result of the interactive form.
Any ideas?
kind regards
Vegard

SAPscript and Smart Forms - Going to be phased out?

Thus far, are SAPscript and/or Smart Forms going to eventually be retired? Is there an official document, or Note that says so? I've exhaustively searched through these forums, and the SMP for the PAM and Notes, but I can't find a reference anywhere that will tell me.
I did find where it says:
"Customers can continue to use existing SAP forms solutions such as Smart Forms and SAPscript.
Both solutions will continue to be supported in their current functional scope."
Just want to make sure with my clients.
Thanks!

Hello,
We recently rolled out an SAP's Strategy as far as forms development is concerned.
Here is the official statement:
"The SAP forms strategy is based on SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe (IFbA). This applies to both print and interactive forms. In this context, most Business Suite solutions have already been converted to the IFbA technology (more than 2300 forms), and new standard SAP forms will be created using IFbA instead of Smart Forms or SAPscript.
SAPscript and Smart Forms shall continue to be supported inline with SAP's maintenance strategy, thereby ensuring the ability to protect existing customer investment."
You can also find this on the Smart Forms page in SDN: Smart Forms Overview

This is possible you have to fire view1 outbond plug, as same as how did you got view2 from your selection screen view1 (same way you can go back to view1 also).
3- Is it possible to insert Interactive form with a selection screen and how?
It is possible to take a selection screen and interactive form both are on same view.
