The scenerio is that I am using an offline interctive form element that takes a user input . After filling the values the user would be able to upload the interactive form through a web dynpro applictaion. But when i fill the offline interctive form . It doesnt let me save the form ..kindlyy suggest ..marks assured

Namit,
I believe you need the appropriate Reader Rights applied to the document. If you are using Guided Procedures, you get those by generating an impersonalized form. Otherwise, you have to apply them manually.
See http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/56/f2c94a069f44a785b85748e11f82a0/content.htm
Hope this helps,

Saving Offline PDF form from Web-Dynpro with Dynamic File Name

Hello All,
We have a offline PDF form.... When we save the form, a default file name appears. We need to change this default name to some value that is already available in the form fields.
I have gone through some posts in the forum. However not able to figure out the solution.
Following are the details:
1. Web-Dynpro used : ABAP Web-Dynpro
2. Form Type: Native
3. Offline Editable form

About dynamic offline interactive form

I have a request for working with pdfs in netweaver java, but the requisites are quite tight and I don't know if it will be possible to achieve with interactive forms.
I need to:
1- Generate a pdf file (many in fact) using preloaded data from backend for offline use.
2- The pdf must be interactive so the user can introduce new data or modify the preloaded data.
3- The user should be able to change dynamically the format of the pdf: add rows to tables, make visible/invisible parts of the document, fire different events...
4- The user should be able to save his work in the file including the format (if he has added rows to a table or made invisible an object it should be saved).
5- The user should be able to send the data to the server through a send button.
In short, strange as it may sound, I need to simulate a web dynpro application using an offline pdf.
I've been searching and I think 1 and 2 are not a problem. I would just need to use a template created in LiveCycle Designer and link the data source to Web Dynpro context. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I think 3 can be done using scripting and events set in LiveCycle Designer, though I have 0 experience with it.
I don't know if I can achieve 4. From what I've read dynamic content can't be saved. That is, if the user changes dynamically the pdf format and saves it will be lost when opened again. Is it true?
I don't know about 5 either. With online interactive form of course, but with offline? I've seen examples that use and upload control in a Web Dynpro application as an alternative but I'd like to avoid that if possible.
I'd like to get some indications about if these points can be done or not, if possible with some references that illustrate it (links to blogs, sap help...)
Some tips and references about how to implement the different parts of this scenario (specially from point 3 and beyond) would be really welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Almost all things you mentioned are quite possible with Adobe Forms.
1- Generate a pdf file (many in fact) using preloaded data from backend for offline use.
You can do this by creating a Interactive Form using ABAP or create an online form using WD ABAP and just save the required form when done to be used for offline use
2- The pdf must be interactive so the user can introduce new data or modify the preloaded data.
You need to have Adobe forms License in case you want your forms to be interactive. In ABAP I think in the driver program you need to set FILLABLE = X or something like that and for WD there is enabled property which needs to be set true.
3- The user should be able to change dynamically the format of the pdf: add rows to tables, make visible/invisible parts of the document, fire different events...
The user can add rows to table and depending upon conditions you can set the required fields as visible/invisble
4- The user should be able to save his work in the file including the format (if he has added rows to a table or made invisible an object it should be saved).
If your form is fillable and interactive the data can be saved by end user.
5- The user should be able to send the data to the server through a send button.
There are different types of Submit options available. You can use Submit by email so that the user can submit the form via email.
Also I would strongly advise just try Search on forum and I am sure that you would get plenty of links/examples to work with.

Offline Adobe Form using GP - How to save data to SAP

Hi,
I have the following requirement.
          o An offline form is sent to different users and when they fill the form and Click on Submit, the data should be saved to SAP.
          o When the data is submitted, it should be recognize the user and multiple clicks if any so that data is not duplicated
I have used Guided Procedures for this. I have created an Interactive Form callable object with an xdp template and "Create offline Interactive form and send by e-mail" option.
Problem:
1. The document emailed to user can be submitted only once. My requirement is whenever form is submitted it should update the previous data.
2. How to save this data to SAP?
Version:
SAP NW SP12
Adobe Live cycle designer 7.1
I have gone through various blogs on Adobe Offline interactive forms and GP but I could not get a solution for this. Please help.
Thank you,
Vasu

Hi,
IMHO there is no easy solution for your requirement. However there is a workaround: you can create so-called "impersonalized" forms. They can be sent or returned as many times as needed from same or different users. However the effect will be that for each form sent out and accepted by GP, GP will start a new GP process. That means that the forms are the first step of such a process - so to say.
An offline form "in the middle" of a process can be embedded into the process as a dedicated step only. Once this form is returned to GP by the user, the process is continued and 2nd or later form returns are ignored. However there is the possibility to build an additional step into GP to check the input data and if they aren't valid to send out the form to the user once again.
So you see that there are some possibilities but no straight forward solution for your needs. Hope I could help anyhow.

Get form values from an uploaded offline interactive form.

Hi,
I have created a simple offline interactive form with 2 text input elements Email and PhoneNumber.
I have created a button on the view. In the action, I have to get the values of the Email and PhoneNumber

Hi Arafat,
I followed the how to do document https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/user-interface-technology/wd%20java/wdjava%20archive/offline%20interactive%20pdf%20form%20using%20download.pdf , and it mentioned what you just said. But I couldn't understand your suggestion "In second view you need to embed the IF element and create the required context attributs mapping for fields. Set the pdfMode as usePDF."
In the second view, I have created another interactive form for previewing the offline form.
I am able to preview the offline form. On submit action (submit button is on the view), when I print the context values, I get nulls.
Thanks

Integrating Offline adobe form in Portal

Hi All,
I created offline adobe form using SFP tcode.
This form needs to be integrated in Portal. When user logs in, he/she should be able to open this form.
Can offline adobe form can be integrate to portal directly? or do we need to create the Webdynpro applications only for poral?
Please let me know whether we can integarate offline adobe form to portal directly. If not why?.. I don't know about portal.
Thank you!
Prasad

Hi Deepika,
This discussion thread is all about integrating a WebDynpro application which contains adobe form into portal.
I assume your requirement is different which needs to upload an offline adobe form into portal.
There are documents available to explain this functionality in detail. Please note down the following.
1) For uploading adobe form should be XML schema based.
2) There should be a webdynpro application with uploader UI element which has been integrated into the portal.
3) On form upload, you will get all the data associated with the form within webdynpro
Thanks & Regards,

Missing code in "Offline Interactive Forms Using ABAP" SDN document?

I am trying to build a sample offline form scenario using the code published in the SDN document "Offline Interactive Forms Using ABAP" written by Vani Krishnamoorthy. Everything works perfectly up to the point where we instantiate the PDF Object to extract the data from the form. Then there seems to be some code missing just before we call the method SET_DOCUMENT. We are supposed to export the parameter pdfdata = pdf_data , but I cannot find where pdf_data variable is declared or assigned. Also, an ENDTRY statement seems to be missing.
Has anyone had success with Vani's offline scenario, and if so, do you know what code is missing, if any?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I found the missing code in sample program FP_PDF_TEST_06. Everything works well now.
The PDF file that was uploaded from the PC first needs to be converted from binary to XSTRING before you can create the PDF object:
data: lt_rawtab type standard table of raw255,
        g_pdfdata type xstring,
        l_len type i.
call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
    exporting
      filename                = l_filename
      filetype                = 'BIN'
    importing
      filelength              = l_len
    changing
      data_tab                = lt_rawtab   "PDF file (binary)
    exceptions
      file_open_error         = 1
      file_read_error         = 2
      etc. etc.
Convert binary tab to Xstring
call function 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING'
    exporting
      input_length = l_len
    importing
      buffer       = g_pdfdata              "converted to Xstring
    tables
      binary_tab   = lt_rawtab
    exceptions
      failed       = 1
      others       = 2.
if sy-subrc is not initial.
    message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
               with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
endif.
Instantiate PDF object..
data: l_fp     type ref to if_fp value is initial,
        l_pdfobj type ref to if_fp_pdf_object value is initial,
        l_fpex    type ref to cx_fp_runtime,
        l_type    type string,
        l_errmsg type string.
Get FP reference
l_fp = cl_fp=>get_reference( ).
Handle exceptions with Try..Endtry
try.
Create PDF Object using destination 'ADS' (<--this is how it is
defined in SM59)

Create offline interactive forms using webdynpro java with XML data source

Hi Gurus,
I am having a scenario like below:
Sales guy request for order list online from portal- Sytem receives the request and creat XML file- from xml file need to create a Offline interactive form-Sales guy fills it offline at customer site- uploads in portal -on submit xml has to be generated with captured data at customer site-Process to ECC.
So my questions are:
How to create the offline interactive form from XML?
Once filled offline interactive form uploaded into portal how to create XML again from pdf ?
Please give some idea on this as this is my first Offline interactive form using XML datasource.
Thanks
Ravi

Hi Otto,
Sorry for replying lately. First of all I did not get your suggestions as your are editing the same posting.
Secondly we will be using WDJ. Actually in between SAP Portal and ECC we are having adobe LCES so we need to create Interactive form using XML only. Once it is filled again the form will be submitted to another application which is running on FLEX, which will process the order.
if you can give me your personal id i can send you the detailed process
Thanks

Offline Interactive Forms (Web Dynpro for ABAP)

Hi Everyone.
Please help me!!!
Upload Offline PDF file to xstring context attribute by file upload in Web Dynpro parts.
Set Offline PDF file uploaded via xstring context attribute in 'pdfSource' property of interactive form.
I wish to view Offline PDF file and get data to context in 'dataSource' property of interactive form.
Below restriction.
- Web Dynpro for ABAP
- Offline Interactive Forms
- Zero Client Installation
- ABAP Dictionary-Based Interface
NetWeaver 7.0 (NW 7.0) SPS16

Hi Daisuke,
As per your requirement, to get done your work you need to create two Adobe Forms , one is for Offline Interactive Form and other is Online Interactive Form.
In offline Interactive you design your form and define the Layout type as zci layout and Abap Dictionary Based interface. And by executing the form you can save the form to your desktop.
Now in online Interactive Form you create the context similar to the one which has been created in the Offline Interactive Form. Now in one view you define the file upload functionality and in other view you define the adobe interactive form, for this the interface is automatically as it asks for the context and its of type XML based interface, also do maintain the context variable something like "PDFDATASTRING" with type XSTRING in the Component Controller and now in adobe view you give the property pdfstring as "PDFDATASTRING" and dont forget to provide the navigation of these two view, and set the File Upload View as default view.
The above functionality can help you in some way or the other.
Regards
Pradeep Goli

Sending Offline Interactive Form Via Email

Hi,
I am running NW 2004s SPS09 and trying to configure GP to use offline adobe interactive forms. As of now, I am able to create a callable object from an Adobe template, prefill fields from other background execution/web service callable objects, and launch a process when the form is submitted via email. I am having trouble routing the form to the next processor through email. I created an interactive form callable object, checked 'Enable Use In Guided Procedures' and selected 'Create Offline Interactive Form And Send By E-Mail'. My first thought was that there was some delay in the sending of emails, but callable objects in other processes that send plain text notifications work fine. The process does not enter an erroneous state and waits at that action. Looking at the GP monitor under NW administration, the correct processor is set for the action, but the task does not appear in the user's UWL or GP runtime center (I figure this is because the task is meant to be completed offline). Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
~Greg

Turned out the 'switchToNewMailCommunication' property for the GP service was set to true when it should have been false.
