Saving an Interactive Form WITH filled in data

Scenario:
We have created an interactive form in the ABAP environment (SFP).
The user receives the interactive PDF form as an eMail attachment.
The user needs to fill in the form AND save it WITH the filled in informatiion.
Right now, the user cannot save the form WITH the filled in information.
Why?
The Adobe help says:
<i>You can't save the data that you enter into the PDF form, unless the form author included additional usage rights in the PDF file.</i>
How do I include these <i>'additional usage rights'</i>?
We are on NetWeaver 04, and the ADS is fully installed and configured on the Java stack.
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Karin.

Hello,
I have created a form using transaction SFP. I don't use any web dynpro.
The issue is that I am not able to automatically have the data back in the SAP program.
The only solution I have found is saving the PDF locally, then calling the METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog and finally extracting the data from the XML file.
It works this way.
I would like to automate this process, I mean, I would like to automatically save the pdf (after pushing a submit button) into a specific folder and then to be able to read it.
The aim is to avoid having too many manipulations.
I tried the xfa.host.exportdata("",0) but i cannot specify a path because my pdf is not certified!
Thank you for your help.

Prefill interactive form with data upon displaying out

Hi,
Let's say if i have a web dynpro application, with a view containing an interactive form. I would like to prefill the interactive form with data by calling a webservice or thru RFC before it display the form out. So that when the form is first displayed out, it is already prefilled with data. Is this possible?
Is there any guide out there which is similar to this scenario?
Btw, currently i only managed to consume the webservice and prefill the form with data after clicking a button which will execute the webservice.

Search Help on Adobe Interactive Form with Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi All,
I have created Adobe Interactive Form with ZCI type and XML based interface type using Webdynpro ABAP.
I placed a text field USER_NAME on the form ( data element is linked to search help USER_COMP ).
Added Native WD UI element 'Value Help' to form to search for users and changed script
*var fieldName = "INSERT_NAME_HERE*"; to var fieldName = "USER_NAME";
The problem is that when I click on the value help button, nothing happens.
Is any more additional steps required ?
Thanks

Interactive Form with ABAP DDIC Interface

Hi,
I'm new on adobe interactive forms and I have some problems. I have a form with a abap dictionary based interface.
When I test my web dynpro application with the interactive form, it is not interactive. :-P
And yes the property "enabled" of the UI-Element is marked.
First I watched an e-Learning an build a web dynpro application with a from which has a interface based on xml.
I generated the inteface of the form from my context. It works fine.
But with a interface based on xml I dont't know how I can get a table on my PDF in the Adobe Lifecycle Designer.
So I searched snd n the forum and found a tutorial (InteractiveForm_and_Dynamic_Tables). Like in this tutorial I created a interface based on ABAP Dictionary and a form with a table. Then I choose this form on my UI-Element as templateSource and generate the context from the interface. But as i mentioned above, now the PDF isn't interactive.
Any idea?
Thx Florian
PS: when someone can tell/help me in german it would be much easier for me to understand...

You can create Interactive form with ABAP dictionay based interface. You need to add following code in method "WDDOMODIFYVIEW" of your view.
DATA: LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM TYPE REF TO CL_WD_INTERACTIVE_FORM,
LR_METHOD_HANDLER TYPE REF TO IF_WD_IACTIVE_FORM_METHOD_HNDL.
CHECK FIRST_TIME = ABAP_TRUE.
LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM ?= VIEW->GET_ELEMENT( 'TEST' ).
LR_METHOD_HANDLER ?= LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM->_METHOD_HANDLER.
LR_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_LEGACY_EDITING_ENABLED( ABAP_TRUE ).

F4 Value Help on Adobe Interactive Form with Web Dynpro ABAP

Hello,
I have created an Interactive Form with ZCI type.
I placed a text field MATNR on the form.
Then I placed a Native WD UI element 'Value Help' as mentioned in the below link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/42/fb2fe500553ee4e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
This form was then embeded into Web Dynpro ABAP view.
The problem is that when I click on the F4 button, nothing happens.
Is anything else needs to be done?
Thanks
Sagar

Hi Amol,
After binding the Context variable in the view, and in the Adobe Layout Designer from the Library go to WebDynpro Native Tab and drag and drop the Value Help and for this automatically JavaScript is being generated, go that script and edit the line
Var fieldname = "yourfieldname";
Note: Don't forget to link the context attribute to search help. ie. in the context properties of the attributes select the input help mode as dictionary search help and specify the name of the search help present in data dictionary.
And now go to Utilities and click on u201CInsert Web Dynpro Scriptu201D.
Also make sure that you specify the Layout as ZCI Layout in the Propertioes of the Adobe Form.
Ragards,
Amol Patil.

How to do an interactive form with tables

I've been asked to recreate an interactive form that was created using several tables. The tables are made up of cells that contain labels of what information is required, followed by blank cells where the user can put the information (text fields). A few of the cells are to contain drop down menus that will contain a list of answers to choose from (combo boxes). I kind of like the idea of doing it in a table just because it keeps everything lined up automatically.
I am a Lynda.com subscriber, and I found a course on that site that shows how to create interactive forms with InDesign, but it just breezes past doing it with tables. It says you can do it, but doesn't show how. The problem is, one table can contain all three types of cells that I plan to use. I can select the whole table and then choose "Type" in the Buttons and Forms panel, but I would think that would turn the whole table into just one type of field. I can't seem to figure out how to select individual cells of the table to choose different types.
Is there a way to do that?

This is work around
1- Draw a rectangle frame, and without release mouse use up and right arrow key to define rows and columns count and use Ctrld+ down arrow key to reduce space between rows and Ctrl+left arrow key to reduce space between column.
2- Covert frames to Buttons.

How to use Adobe Interactive forms with ISR frame work in Webdynpro forJava

Hi,
Anybody worked on Adobe Interactive forms with ISR frame work in Webdynpro for Java in ESS/MSS development.
We have already searched in ISR_Cookbook_2004, however we didn't anything related webdynpro for java in that.
Any information regarding this will be of great help.
Regards
Satish Kumar

There are a number of issues here. A form that you created with LiveCycle Designer (XFA) cannot be used with FormsCentral. An Acroform, the kind you can create with Acrobat, can be used with FormsCentral, with certain limitations, one of which is skip logic. A dynamic XFA form allows for this type of thing, but as mentioned, they don't work with FormsCentral. You can set up an Acroform to show/hide or activate/inactivate fields based on selections or entries made in other fields, but you'd have to set this up in Acrobat, not FormsCentral. So you can set up something roughly equivalent to a web form's skip logic, but you'd have to learn how to do this in Acrobat using JavaScript. There is a separate Acrobat JavaScript forum here if you have any questions.

Send Back An Interactive Form with updated Vendor Details

Dear SDN,
We have a requirement of sending back an Adobe Form after the user updates some fields as an email or to the universal work list of the sender?
The step is:-
1. Receive Adobe form.
2. Update Fields.
3. Send back to the sender as an email//UWL.
The receiver of the Adobe Forms may not have SAP Access so whats the work around? Can javaMail API be used without the Dynpro ? Can Guided procedure help ? Or may be a webservice to send the mail ?
Please suggest.
Anirban.

Hi,
Well, as stated in the blog, it depends on your scenario. So there's no howto guide at the moment.
Business logic and PDF (by email) sending has to be developed on your backend side. I suggest you to read the Interactive Forms tutorials in the Webdynpro for Java section for first steps.
It's also possible to trigger a guided procedure with the help of an interactive form (with the help of a posting on a address specific to the GP). For this, you can check the CAF (Composite Application Framework) tutorials here on SDN.

Francois

Adobe Interactive Forms with Browser Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement to implement HCM P&F using Adobe Interactive Forms. These Adobe Forms will be accessed using Browser Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox. I have come across that the Adobe Interactive Forms are not supported on these browsers. In the same regard I have also gone through the Product Availability Matrix by SAP which specifies that Forms are not support on these browser and neither SAP has future plans to support them.
PAM can be found on link: http://service.sap.com/pam
I would like to know from experts that if any of the project has successfully implemented Adobe Interactive Forms with browser Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox or
is there any solution which can make these forms work successfully on browser Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox.
Your early reply will be highly appreciated.
thanks
Manoj

Hello,
Mozilla Firefox is supported for Adobe Interactive Forms on Windows operation system.
Unfortunatelly we do not have support for Mac OS and Safari browser.
Please re-check the PAM.

XML Forms with Expiring Message Date

Hi,
I need to create a XML form with Expiring Message Date i.e the messages should not be visible in the iview after entered expiring date. Kindly let me know how can I achieve this.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi

Hello Ravi
This can be achieved through the Time-based Publishing service provided by SAP. To make sure the service is active for your repository, go to System Administration > System Configuration > Knowledge Management > Content Management > Repository Managers > CM Repository (if that's the kind of repository you're working in). Then select your repository and make sure that 'tbp' is in the list of Repository Services assigned. If not, assign that service and restart the portal.
Then, within KM Content, enter the Details menu of the folder within that repository for which you'd like this service activated, then go to Settings > Lifetime and click the 'Enable Time-Dependent Publishing' button. This will activate the service for that folder.
Then in your XML form, you can provide the Lifetime properties "Valid From" and/or "Valid To" to specify when a message should be active, and when it should expire. At that point, anyone who has read access to that folder would only see the messages that are within these active dates.
Hope this helps! For more information, see SAP's <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e8/a9a76828b8dc469969ff450ec81ced/frameset.htm">Lifetime of Documents</a> documentation.

Prepopulating Interactive Form with XML Data using VBA

I have an excel spreadsheet with data on it. I need to click on a button that will cause an Interactive PDF form to open and be populated with data from the spreadsheet. To do this I want to use an XML data file. I know how to create the file, but how do I cause the PDF to open in Adobe Reader with the XML data file using VBA? The link needs to be a soft link, in that the name of the XML file could change.
Many thanks for answers.

Make sure you reference the Adobe Acrobat Browser Control Library under Tools | References
It will merge to Adobe Reader. Note that I have made the strXFDFFile variable unique by including the name of the PDF file. This assures that you can merge to more than one PDF at a time (this is taken from a loop for multiple PDF files). Note that the XFDF file must include the path and the PDF file name in order to open the correct PDF for merging.
I don't have time to explain the code, but if you have any questions let me know.
