Script, , smartforms , adobe forms

hi friends,
                   i know about script and smartforms,
                   can you clearly tell about adobe forms(pdf)
                   what, where , why ?
thanks

Hi,
t.code SFP.
definition:
Interactive Forms based on Adobe software is SAP's new solution for forms development. Its first release has the focus on interactive use of forms. High-volume printing is supported in principle, but - being a new solution - the performance has not yet reached the same level as Smart Forms or SAPscript, two established solutions that had years to grow. Interactive Forms is the only solution that will continue to be enhanced with new features, while SAPscript and Smart Forms will be supported without limitations.
When (or if) to move to Interactive Forms depends on your requirements. For interactive forms usage, i.e. the new functions, you have no choice, as the existing solutions don't support it. High-volume print scenarios need to be carefully analyzed to see whether your concrete requirements can be met at this point.
However, it is possible to move to Smart Forms and design your forms in such a way that a migration at any point in the future would be but a small step. Smart Forms offers from Web AS 6.40 a migration wizard to Interactive Forms. Technically, everything can be migrated, but we recommend against things like ABAP program nodes, for example.
You are not forced to ever go to Interactive Forms if you don't want to. It really depends on whether your client needs any of the new features in Interactive Forms. Also, if they are currently working with JetForms, they could enquire with Adobe directly what migration path they offer to the joint solution.

example
To get an overview idea about Adobe forms ,
Using SFP , first you need to create a interface . in interface you can declare the import and export parameters and also the declaration part, coding etc : This is nothing but similar to Function module interface.
And now we have to create the Form which is interactive. Create the form and enter the interface name which you have created in first step, so that the parameters , declarations of fields etc : will be copied and available in the form layout. So that you can drag and drop these declared fields ( dclared fields of interface ) to the layout.
Create the context and layout in the form.
The layout generated can be previewed and saved as PDF output.
Now we need to integrate the driver program and the PDF form to get the final output as per the requirement.
On activating and executing the form you will get a function module name just similar to smartforms.
The driver program needs to call this FM.
Refer to the below sample code :
DATA : is_customer TYPE scustom.
DATA : it_bookings TYPE ty_bookings.
DATA : iv_image_url TYPE string.
DATA : iv_sending_country TYPE adrc-country.
DATA : it_sums TYPE TABLE OF flprice_t.
DATA : docparams TYPE sfpdocparams.
DATA : formoutput TYPE fpformoutput.
DATA : outputparams TYPE sfpoutputparams.
PARAMETERS : pa_cusid TYPE scustom-id.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM scustom INTO is_customer
WHERE id = pa_cusid.
SELECT * FROM sbook
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_bookings
WHERE customid = pa_cusid.

    Hi SDN Friends!
    I had this question.
    Given a SAP Script or SMART Form ... how do we identify (table names?)
    The Print program associated with them? Also, how does that concept differ from PDF forms?
    Any body can answer please........
    Regards,
    Markiv.C

    Hi
    In any Orgn in real time in SAP we use Sap scripts or Smartforms for sending Outgoing documents like Sales,Pur order to customer or vendor.
    So these are assigned with an Output type, Medium, Print  program
    These settings are configured first in Application document and in NACE Tcode
    accordingly an Entry is saved in NAST table and TNAPR tables
    so from these 2 tables we will come to know the form/sf name, print program and Output type and Medium etc

  • Migrating SAP Scripts to Adobe Forms

    Hi All,
       We are going for a new Rollout in US based on our European implementation in 2001 which was on
       4.6b. Eventually this system was upgrated to ECC 6.0 recently however all the outputs are still using
       SAP Scripts.
       For the new Rollout in the US, we are planning to migrate all these outputs to Adobe Forms. Does
       anyone know if there is an easy way to migrate Scripts to Adobe Forms or else the  migration is more
       or less like fresh development.
       Please share your experiences/knowledge if anyone has worked similarly. Thank you all.
    Regards,
    Vamsee

    Hi,
    migration from script to adobe is a big problem.
    dont go for that.
    many problems will come after migration, the time to take rectification is more than the development directly.
    Thank U

  • Condition verification in java script on Adobe form.

    Hello Experts,
    I am using a interactive forma text element on my view. (java web dynpro)
    It's a simple application. I am trying to figure out how it works with java script.
    I have a text field. which displays employ is sales or production dept
    the values in the data view and its the output element of a BAPI which returns XF,TF,HF and XK,JK,HK
    (record.dept)
    if its XF, TF, HF on the text field in the adobe form should print sales else production.
    I have never used java script on adobe form.
    I figured the strip above the form in adobe designer is used for java script.
    can any one, let me know how I can manipulate.  the record value
    Here is what I am trying record.dept = XF |TF|JF . but i dont know how to run the java script or its syntax.
    Your help is highly appreciated.

    James,
    xfa.host.messageBox should show you an alert dialog box to check data you are getting.
    And yes you are right. You can set the value of textfield using code you mentioned.
    if(record.dept.equalsIgnoreCase("XF")
                 || record.dept.equalsIgnoreCase("TF")
                          record.dept.equalsIgnoreCase("JF"))
       xfa.host.messageBox("The value is Sales");
       <Text-field id>.value = "Sales";
    else
       xfa.host.messageBox("The value is Production");
      <Text-field id>.value = "Production";
    You can even set the texfields to be readOnly, hide some of them etc. But for that I would suggest you going thru the LiveDesigner help. It would solve most of your doubts :-).

  • Formatted text and smartforms/Adobe forms

    Hello all,
    can anybody please tell me if there is a way to display formatted text that was edited with FormattedTextEdit (or is there any other ui element that allows me to format text?) in smartforms/adobe forms with all formats? Also, is it possible to display graphics in the smartforms/adobe forms that was prior uploaded to the application server?
    Thanks and regards, Oliver

    Hi Raja,
    I implenented SAVE_TEXT AND READ_TEXT like you advised but the smartforms still doesn't show the text formats edited via BTF editor.  I even tried to convert it to ITF using "CONVERT_STREAM_TO_ITF_TEXT" but it wouldn't help either. For example the text
    <HTML><HEAD></HEAD> <BODY> <P>This is a test text in Times New Roman</P> <P><FONT face=Arial>This is a test text in Arial</FONT></P> <P><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>This is a test text in Arial and bold</STRONG></FONT></P></BODY></HTML>
    would exactly appear in this manner (using text element in smartforms) and not formatted. Do you any other ideas solving this issue?
    Thanks and regards, Oliver

  • How to Debug Java Script in Adobe Form

    I have used an alert for empty fields . I have used Check button control for this.
    But the button click is very inconsistent. Some times it triggers the event sometimes it doesnt. Is there anyway to debug the java script. I have installed Script editor for IE but I am unable to use it for Adobe Forms.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Vasu

    Hi Vasu,
    i think that maybe is the check sequence is not very correct.. and maybe you can try to code it one check for empty fields at a time..
    example
    Name.
    Address.
    Tel.
    Hp.
    Email.
    so u can try to code for one item at a time then slow try to debug it... as last time i use to insert the javascript inside each component then after it i implement into a button and slowly check for the check sequence which one need to be 1st and etc.
    hope it help you. if not maybe u can give more information. maybe i can help you out at myside.

  • How we change a word to Super Script in ADOBE Form

    Hi,
    I have scenario where I need to change a word to super script. I am getting the super script value in a variable, now When displaying on a abode form in a particular cell I have to concatenate this word and make sure that it appears as Super Script to the word preceding it.
    Really appreciate if someone can post suggestions and ideas to do it.
    Thank you,
    Srikanth

    Hi Srikanth,
    In case of text field you can do this . Its simple.
    You just need to check the rich text property from text field properties
    Now you can select any word and change it to superscript by using the corresponding properties button.
    Moreover I guess If you create a table and save some data by copying from excel or word as superscriipt it gets saved in table. so you can use this way also.
    P.S check this link

  • Scripting in Adobe Forms - Hiding a field

    Hi Experts
    I have some code that I just can't get to work - please advise where I am going wrong.
    Looking at the folowing code segment (Javascript, at Client), I am running through a loop of items (PO Text Items). If I take the IF statement out around the statement where I hide the fields, it works well (in other words it hides every line), but I only want to hide lines where the item (ItemTextFromPO) is empty.
    var oFields = xfa.resolveNodes("data.PO_Page.MainSubform.ItemSubForm.POItemText.DATA[*].ItemTextFromPO");
    var nNodesLength = oFields.length;
    for (var nNodeCount = 0; nNodeCount < nNodesLength; nNodeCount++)
         if ( xxxxxxxxxxxx.rawValue == "" )
              oFields.item(nNodeCount).presence = "hidden";
    Please advise what I need to use in the IF statement to make it work?
    Thanks
    Casper

    Hi Chintan
    I know there is no index currently in the if statement - and that is my problem.
    I am getting a table of texts for PO Items passed into a form. Some items may have more than one text item, and some may have none. For those with none, it will still have a dummy entry - i.e. a table entry with nothing next to it. A table might look like this:
    0010     Text for item 10
    0010     More text for item 10
    0020
    0030     Text for item 30.
    So, Item 20 above has no text (an empty text line).
    In the form, I have a repeating subform -  it repeats once for evry item. On this subform, I have an textfield called that can repeat many times, if necessary (like for Item 10 above in this example). In the context of the form, I have a where condition that linke the item texts to the items - in other words the texts appear with the correct items already.
    However, I do not want anything to appear if the field is empty (like for line 20, in this example).
    So, I have written the loop as you saw in my original question. This loop works - if I take the IF statement out, then it hides EVERY line. If I do not use a loop, it only hides the 1st line... so the loop is required.
    I then need to 'ask' each item with the IF statement whether it is empty or not - and if it is, then hide it. So, I just need someone to tell me the correct syntax for the xxxxxxxxxxxxx in my IF statement. This should surely include the index (the counter of the loop) somehow, so that I can access each individual item.
    I have tried many combinations, but none worked - so far.
    Please let me know if I need to explain more.
    Thanks,
    Casper
