  • Smartforms or Adobe Interactive Forms?

    Hello Folks,
      my client currently are beginning the decision making process to replace all of their current Jetform based SAP printing solution to a newer more stable solution - and they are interested in the possible options available.
    Note that this is a major project as we have to migrate all documents (invoices, orders, POs, account statements etc) defined in multi languages and versions. Currently we are running SAP4.6C - but there is the possibility of an upgrade in the near future too.
    To me the most stable alternative right now appears to be SAP smartforms - as this is a tried, proven and well integrated technology. Now I read here about the possibilities offered by Adobe interactive forms - and that from 6.40 onwards they will be integrated into the ABAP workbench. It is not clear to me though if Adobe interactive forms are intended to replace Smartforms or if they are merely an alternative approach - and what the pros and cons are of each technique.
    Also it is not clear to me how well Adobe forms can be integrated with standard NAST table style output control - is it possible to integrate adobe forms to the standard output control?
    What we are really concerned with is that we spend a lot of effort migrating to Smartforms only to find out that it is yesterdays technology and that we subsequently have to remigrate to Adobe interactive forms...
    Can anyone there at SAP or on SDN provide any advice as to the pros and cons of the Smartform solution when compared with Adobe interactive forms, and any advice you can offer as to which solution to opt for in our migration project?

    Hi Julian,
    it sounds to me that all your current forms are output forms (for printing, faxing, e-mailing, etc.) i.e. non-interactive.
    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.
    Hope this helps.

  • Adobe Interactive Forms and 4.6c

    Hi to all,
    I have to develop and adobe interactive form within a web dynpro project with SAP WAS 6.40. This interactive form have to call an R/3 system 4.6c (via RFC) to retrieve some datas. My question is: can I use interactive forms with a 4.6c (using JCO/RFC) or I have some restrictions?
    Thank you very much,
    Antonio

    Antonio,
    I cut and pasted the below response from the SDN FAQ on SAP Interactive Forms:
    Can Interactive Forms work within, for example, an SAP R/3 Enterprise or 4.6C system? Or is it possible to run a stand-alone SAP Web AS 6.40 instance with a lower-release SAP system?
    Interactive Forms is shipped as a part of SAP Web AS 6.40. SAP Web AS 6.40 can be connected to lower-release backend systems to exchange data (using RFC).
    If you want to use forms in interactive scenarios, you can use technologies such as an RFC connection to exchange data between your application system (for example, SAP R/3 4.6C) and the SAP Web AS 6.40, which includes the required Adobe technology. Note that this does not apply to the use of Interactive Forms in the Internet Service Request framework, which is extensively used in SAP Manager Self Service (e.g. Personnel Change Request).

  • Web Dynpro ABAP, Adobe interactive forms and Drag and Drop functionality.

    Hi Experts,
    is it possible to use Drag and Drop functionality together with Adobe Interactive forms in Web Dynpro ABAP? I consider dragging object (like texts) to interactive form placed in Web Dynpro.

    I think I understand but just to make it clear. I use texts created using function module "SAVE_TEXT". In my Web Dynpro I  select one or more of them and use the button "insert text" (with appropriate functionality behind it) to insert them to specified location in my PDF form opened in this Web Dynpro. Considering what you said it is not possible to replace this "insert text" button by drag and drop functionality. Am I correct?
    Btw great job with the book "Next Generation ABAP Development" Thomas!

  • Adobe Interactive Form and Web Dynpro

    Hi experts,
    I'm working with an standard Adobe Interactive Form (ISR_MSSRCF_SRQ3) which has a button (selectPosition) that is used to call a Web Dynpro (HRRCF_C_POSITION). This Web Dynpro is used to fill some forms fields (org. unit and position) as a search help. I don't know the way the Web Dynpro fills these fields, I don't find a context binding or so. Could you help to find the way these fields are linked to the Wed Dynpro? How does the Wed Dynpro fill these fields?
    For this button, events in script command window are:
    =>Mouse down.
    //Set ISR_EVENT for BAdI processing in backend
    $record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_EVENT = "USER_EVENT_POPUP"
    $record.HRASR_FORM_WINDOW.DATA[*].FIELD.value = "HRRCF_C_POSITION"
    =>Click.
    //Trigger call to backend for BAdI user command processing
    ContainerFoundation_JS.SendMessageToContainer(event.target, "submit", "", "", "", "");
    =>Ready.
    //Toggle visibility to be visible during edit operations, ínvisible otherwise
    if($record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_MODE == "DISPLAY" |
         $record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_FORM_VIEW =="ISR_APPROVE" )
    then
         this.presence = "invisible"
    else
         this.presence = "visible"
    endif
    Any idea???
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    In se80 - select the WD application HRRCF_C_POSITION.
    COMPONENTCONTROLLER -> method CALL_POPUP . Put a degug point and analyze.
    Kind Regards

  • Adobe Interactive Forms and SAP PI

    Has anyone used SAP PI to process offline Adobe Interactive forms?
    Any java api available that will do the trick?
    We can use ABAP mapping but want to avoid such a design. Java is the preferred method.
    PS: I am surprised why there is no standard integration available for the offline forms with SAP PI.

    SAP PI is intended to be used for system integration on messaging base.
    It is not intended to process forms.

  • Adobe Interactive Forms and WDA - Right click and submit

    Hi guys,
    We're developing some OnLine Adobe Intercative Form.
    For each module we have one submit button that sends all data to SAP system.
    Every module uses ZCI Layout and Native WebDynpro Library but when someone clicks on the submit button, also with right mouse button, it starts a submit event and after it opens a WDA's menu, from where, someone could accidentally hide a Adobe Form in his browser session!
    So, I would like to know how we can disable this functionality and also how I can have a "hide reader toolbar" in my pallette inside Adobe liveCycle Designer 7.1.
    Regards,
    Antonello

    Interactive Forms support two types of attachments:
    1) Attachments as comments
    - Interactive PDF Forms generated by the Adobe Document Services (ADS) in SAP turn on by default the commenting/annotations toolbar in Adobe Reader. You can then select "Attach a file as a comment" to attach a file anywhere on the page.
    - This is available since the first release of Interactive Forms
    - These attachments cannot be handled  (e.g. detached) automatically on the server. You can use it to archive the PDF with the attachments or to open the form in Acrobat or Reader and open them on the client.
    - Like any annotation functionality this does not work for dynamic interactive PDF forms (PDF forms which can dynamically grow/shrink in the client)
    2) Document Level Attachments
    - This is available with NW04S SPS10 and higher.
    - To attach a document select Menu -> Document -> Attach a File in Reader
    - Attachments can be manipulated/detached on the server using custom Java or ABAP code with the PDFDocument Object... Here is the documentation for the Java PDF Document Object (http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/wd/index.html)
    - This works for all types of PDF documents (dynamic and static)

  • Adobe interactive form and workflow attachment

    I use an ABAP webdynpro to trigger a WF. The WD is an interactive adobe form step for users to enter data. Then before triggering the WF, I would like to save the form as an PDF form so I can send it to the subsequent work item processors. Is this possible? If yes, what do I need to do to make this happen.
    Thanks.

    Hi Raja,
    If i understand well the only way to have Adboe forms in ABAP Wrokflow is to use ISR , that's right ?
    Here's my scenario.
    An User trigger with an abap program a Specific flow , then i send several mails with Adobe forms inside . Thoses forms are send back by mail and process by the abap system .
    My problem is to make sure that all forms have been process and for this i had to develop a specific program in abap in order to check it.
    So Is it possible to define a SAP Abap workflow where on each workitem i will add as attachment my pdf form . Then i can used standard Notification and Standard functionnality of reminding of ABAP Workflow.
    Best regards.

  • Trigger workflow from ABAP webdynpro and attach an Adobe interactive form

    I have a need to create an ABAP Webdynpro that will upload a completed Adobe interactive form and then route the form to multiple approvers thru workflow.  I am having trouble finding any documentation or examples of passing the Adobe form in the workflow.  Do I have to save the content of every field on the form to an internal table and then have every workitem call an ABAP webdynpro to render the form?  Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Iview from webDynpro ABAP with Adobe interactive form

    Hi gurus.
    Can I make an iview from a webDynpro ABAP that generates an Adobe Interactive Form, and generate this form from the portal as well?
    thanks in advanced,
    Dieuba

    Chintan thanks for your reply.
    Using Adobe Cycler Designer you can design an interactive Form (fields to be filled by the client, buttons, etc.) and you can integrate this with webDynpros ABAP and JAVA. I want to make an iview that connects with this webDynpro and also generates this form to be filled by the user, so it can send the data back to the sap system.
