Save interactive adobe form in presentation server through report program

Hi All,
          We have developed a interactive adobe form in SFP transaction and we are calling this form
          from report program and we are able to save the form in presentation server.
          But my scenario is that user provides input in interactive adobe form and i need to save the interactive adobe form
          in display mode that to in presentation server with input values provided by the user.
         could any help to achieve this or guide me if i am moving in a wrong path.
Thank you,
Harsha P

It all depends on what you want to do.
If you are planning on users to fill out on-line form only and submit to SAP, it is pretty easy to do (that is once you understand how to create web dynpro and interactive form).
You can also have users fill a form offline and upload to online and save it to SAP.
You do need to know little bit about coding (ABAP or JAVA),
but can be done w/ very minimum coding.
If you are planning on doing in Web Dynpro ABAP,
go to SE 80 and select WebDynpro and create form.
To save data/form to SAP, you probably want to use BAPI or Function module already available so that you don't have to do much coding to save data.
See some of these links for helpful tutorials. Thomas Jung has several good tutorials, but none of them probably have all the information you need... you just have to pick some from here and some from other places... If you have specific question, I will be happy to guide you...

CALL FUNCTION 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
*open the form for printing
CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
Now call the generated function module
CALL FUNCTION fm_name
Close spool job

NewLine Character in the String received from Interactive Adobe Form

Hello Experts,
Following is the issue we have with interactive Adobe Form
We have a text area within the form. User enters the text in multiple lines in this text area.
We are calling a backend function module designed in SE37 that accepts and process the data from the adobe form. We are also processing the string data user enters in the text area.
When we receive the string from the form, the newline character within the string is displayed as '#' in the debugger. We tried splitting this string using cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline and cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf but NO luck. Though in the debugger we see cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline as '#' in the debugger and also '#' is present within the string, for some reason when string is processed to find cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline, we can find/locate it.
Because ABAP code is not able to identify the newline character within the string received from Adobe form, we are not able to maintain the formatting of the string as it was entered in the form.
Any help to resolve this issue is appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Bhushan

Hi Bhushan,
I was going through your issue, and I feel this is something you can do with scripting. Basically you should read whole string and find the new line character and replace with a space or comma, as per your requirment.
Do like following:
In the exit event of the field select java script and write following code:
var strng = this.rawValue;
strng.replace(/\n/g, " ");
above im reaplcing new line with a space.
I think it should work I have not tested it. Pls update if you test it .

Interactive Adobe Form Attachments - not possible??

Hi All,
I'm trying to extract attachments from interactive adobe form.
I bound the pdfsource to the form and tried to extract the attachments using pdfclasses.
The attachments are not captured in the pdfsource. SAP Note 1260750 says
"There is no support for attachments to interactive forms up to SAP NetWeaver 70 EhP2."
However I tried the same using offline upload (interactive form) and I could extract the attachments on SAP Netweaver 7.0 Ehp1.
I would like to know -
1) If there is some work around to do the same for Online form too.
2) Is Ehp2 released?
Thank you,
Sri

Hi Subramanyam,
Since i had queries regarding the same requirement that I think you have just achieved, so I could not help but to reply to the same thread and hoping to get some help.
I have developed an offline Interactive form which after getting filled is submitted by mail to save the information at the backend in the SAP system. This is working fine.
But now i need to enhance this form by providing an attachment functionality to the form where the user would be allowed to fill in the form and also attach some documents. I have been able to implement the same absolutely fine but while submitting the form through email, where my form gets attached with the mail in an xml format, I am not able find a way to send the attachment in the attached xml and thus not reaching backend.
Please help me out to find a way to send the attached document by Submitting though mail and thus make it reach the backend system for further processing.
Thanks,
Abhishek Goel.

How to use SAP Business Workflow along with Interactive Adobe Form

Hi Experts,
I am working on SAP Business Workflow since last couple of years.
Now i have got a new Project where client wants to use SAP Business Workflow along with Interactive Adobe Form.
I am new to Interactive Adobe Form and Portal thing and i really dont know from where to start.
We have one central system and 2 local systems. when we do create a Material document using adobe form workflow should trigger and notification should go to group of users who can approve or reject it, once they approve it document gets created in central system and replicated to 2 local system through ALE.
In the Local system they do extend the document to different plants, again workflow triggers and notification will go to Managers inbox for the approval.
Once the final approval done data should go and store in SAP.
Now here i have couple of Questions.
1. In SAP R3 Business workflow when i execute the workitem from the inbox i do get the application screen ( i.e. MM01 MRP View ) , what is going to happen if the same case i have with Adobe form?? is it possible or do we have to design a adobe form and we will have to map the fields with backend application??
2. Do i have to maintained 3 separate Org Structure for 3 different system or using UWL i can manage the show
3. Untill final submit is not done, where the application data is going to be, is there any kind of buffer that we will have to keep it or its there with XML file??
Please help me out.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
Welcome to ADOBE Forms related Workflow Development. Well, here are my answers.
1) You can go for either go for ISR based development or WD development with Adobe form. In both the cases you can achieve your requirement. Yes, you will have to design the Adobe form and bind the fields to backend.
2) Am not clear or your System landscape to advice you in these regards.
3) Until final Submit/Approval is done, the data can be stored in WORKFLOW CONTAINERS or XML FORM(If you go for ISR based Development).
Hope this helps.

Database Buffering problem in Interactive Adobe Forms

Hi All,
In our project, there is one interactive adobe form developed to create/update lead data. The lead data from Adobe Form is read using custom class and method of the same class updates the lead. (BOL programming is used to update and create lead. Also, all the Save and Commit statements are used properly).
There is no problem in creating the lead using interactive Adobe Forms. But, when the same lead is updated in the same session using the same adobe form, due to some database buffering issue, system tries to insert duplicate records in CRM_LEAD_H table which is causing error dump - SAPSQL_ARRAY_INSERT_DUPREC. This dump occurs in update function module CRM_LEAD_H_UPDATE_DU.
If we logged off from the session, the database buffer gets refreshed and lead is updated successfully.
Is there any method/function module to refresh DB buffer before calling the adobe form?
Thanks in advance.

Few fields have reference to table XBT. But when I see this in SE 11, such a table is not existing at all.
Can any of you share some ideas or clues?
Thanks in anticipation.
Regds,
Kiran

Interactive Adobe Form / Abap webdynpro

Hi,
I have a abap web dynpro application , where user input the data through the screens , at the last screen he has a button ' displaying the data in a PDF form in display mode ' which is an interactive adobe form . Is there any way we have the abiltiy to make changes to this PDF ( Change Mode Option ) whrere user will have an ability to correct the form and submit . Please give some suggestions and sample code reagarding this .
Thanks,
Kumar

I don't understand what the page header element has to do with this. Your PDF should be running within the InteractiveForm UI element:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/0f/128841e8231709e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
That is the UI element that you need to set the enabled flag on.
As far as licenses, you need to talk to the person who manages your SAP contract and licenses. Usage of print forms and SAP delivered interactive forms is part of your base SAP license. However the usage of customer created interactive forms requires the purchase of an additional license from SAP.

Digital Signature on Interactive Adobe Form with GP

Hi All,
I have a scenario in GP. The Interactive Adobe Form is developed on NWDS. User1 signs on the Form and Submits to User2 for further processing.
1) Now, can User2 be made to view the digital signature of User1?
2) If yes, how is the digital signature passed between User1 and User2? Is it through the GP context? What is the type of GP context that can be used in this case?
Thank You.
Regards,
Suyukti B N

Hi
You can do this using GP too, GP work on WDJava(It is workflow for java apps). For GP you have to be familiar with WDJava and CAF coding.
I will suggest go for ABAP if you are comfortable with it.
