also i have created one button for 'subot by e-mail".....
what i shd do now......?any ideas

Hello,
I didn´t understand if you need to send the whole form or just a text you got from the form.
In first case, send the whole form, search for the tutorial called Offline Interactive Forms Using ABAP.
If you need to "mine out" the text from the form then:
1) do you know that this form is called interactive?
2) do you know that this type of forms is licensed? do you have such a licence?
3) dou you know if you would run such a form offline or using WD, then it is called online scenario.
I can recommend you to move your questions about adobe under SAP NetWeaver - Interactive forms by adobe. Regards, Otto

Submit button within Interactive adobe form

Hi,
We have developed an Interactive adobe form and inserted a submit button within it We have installed ACI also.We tried putting the submit button both within the adobe form body and also within the webdynpro java view. In both the cases pressing the submit button does not result in any action. Please advise on what we are missing. We checked the forums for similar issues and found out that we are abiding by most of it.
thanks

Hi Anantharam,
Please create and action in your view and attach it to your Interactive form UI element's onSubmit event. By doing this, whenecver you press the Submit button in the form, this action will be invoked. You can place any methots/code that you want to execute on click of submit button.
If you are using the button outside the form, then you try printing one of the values that you filled in the form which is binded to context. This way you can test.
If you are using WDP activex UI element s in the form then you need to have ACF installed on the machine and also ensure that the displayMode property of Interactive form is set to ActiveX.
Hope this helps!!

Handling Submit Button on the ADOBE form called from Web Dynpro

Hi,
I have placed a Button on the ADOBE Form. How to Handle the event on this button. When i click this button, i want to save the details of the form into a Custom table.

Hi Majunath.
Create an event say, SUB_EVTin the view in WD where you have the Interactive Form UI element.
Bind this event to the onSubmit of the Form.
Now check the display type of the form. It will be either ActiveX or Native.
Now go to the form designer and open Library palette. Navigate to Webdynpro ActiveX or Native Library(Depending on the form display Type in WD).
Drag and Drop Submit button.
On click of the button, the event handler in WD view namely, onActionsub_evt will be invoked. You can write your code in this handler.
Now in order to read data from the form. Go to the form and go to Properties tab. Check the form layout type. If it is not ZCI, run transaction SFP_ZCI_UPDATE and convert the form to ZCI type.
Now back to the event handler.
as an example... I will use the following context node definitions
PDF_DATA 1..1
ACTUAL_DATA 0..n
    ATTRIB01
    ATTRIB02
Assume the the node PDF_DATA is bound to the data source of your form.
Now in the event handler write the foll code
data: lo_node type ref to if_wd_context_node,
        lt_data   type wd_this->elements_actual_data.
lo_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this-.wdctx_pdf_data ).
lo_node = lo_node->get_child_node( name = wd_this-.wdctx_actual_data ).
lo_node->get_static_attributes_table(
importing
    table = lt_data ).
This will get all the form data in the internal table lt_data.
Now you can process the data the way you want and save it in your custom tables.

Reema .

'Submit' on dynamically generated adobe form

Hello,
I have a dynamic adobe form, which at run time generates the pages based on certain conditions. There are 3 sub-forms whose visibility is controlled via javascript ( again based on condition ). At run time, at once, one page can hold either of these sub-forms. This is an offline scenario and i have the submit button always coming up at the last page.
The issue is that, when i click on 'Submit' only the data in the last page gets picked up for the web service. The data in the previous pages are not being picked up.
For ex : say Page 1 has sub form A
Page 2 has sub form B
Page 3 has sub form C,
the data in Page 3 alone is getting submitted.
However, if i generate the form only for A / B / C, (only one page scenario ) it works fine. The issue is when more than one page is generated.
How to make the submit button function across all the pages?
kindly help.
Regards,
Ashwitha

Submit button from Interactive adobe form in Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi all,
We seem to be having a problem with the 'submit' button on the Interactive Form for the Web Dynpro ABAP. The submit button is from the Web Dynpro active X or web Dynpro Native in the form designer. The submit button doesn't trigger the action in Web Dynpro. we are currently running on support pack 9 for the ABAP stack. We have Internet Explorer browser version 6. Could someone tell me if there are requirements for the IE version that will work in conjunction with a particular ABAP stack version. And, are there specific IE security settings or administrative privilages required with this version of the ABAP stack. Or, any other ideas as to why this does not seem to work.
Thanks in advance,

Using Submit e-mail Button on forms

I can create and send a fill-in PDF form using LiveCycle but when it's received it's in an xml format and very hard to read. Is there a way that when received it still look like the PDF that was filled in?
Appreciate any help. Thanks

Asndi, Thanks for your reply. From your post, how do I "load the XML data back into the original form" when the recipient didn't create the original PDF fill-in form to begin with? What he receives through the "e-mail submit button" method is something like the following example; <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> - <topmostSubform> <undefined>Don</undefined> <Address_1>22 Roberts Road, Some City</Address_1> <Address_2>555 555-5555</Address_2> <Names_of_Family_Members_Playing_1>Some Name 1</Names_of_Family_Members_Playing_1> <Names_of_Family_Members_Playing_2>Some Name 2</Names_of_Family_Members_Playing_2> <Names_of_Family_Members_Playing_3>Some Name 3</Names_of_Family_Members_Playing_3> <Names_of_Family_Members_Playing_4>Some Name 4</Names_of_Family_Members_Playing_4> </topmostSubform> I would like to have this come out in a PDF format for him to read, like the orginal form that was filled in. Is that possible? Thanks

Communication problem between Adobe Form and WebDynpro

Hi all,
I have the following problem and am thankful for any help I can get from you in order to solve it:
I created an Adobe Form in WebDynpro. In both the WebDynpro as well as in the Adobe Form, I created a Submit Button (which I binded to the same method) as well as a text field (which I binded to the same context attribute). When I do changes in WebDynpro, everything works fine and the changes are displayed in the Adobe Form as well.
But when I do changes in the Adobe Form, these changes are not submitted. Also the Submit button in the Adobe Form is not working.
I send the project to a colleague and she could deploy and run my project without any problems. So I think it is a problem with my settings or installation. I already did a reinstallation of the NW Developer Studio as well as the Adobe Lifecycle Designer. But it did not help.
Did anyone have a similar problem or has a suggestions what else I could do?
Thanks in advance,
Thorsten

Hi Thorsten,
If the submit button doesn't do anything, it usually means there's something wrong with your client software.
Are you using NW04s or NW04? NW04 only supports ACF (Active Component Framework) forms, whereas NW04s also supports ZCI (Zero Client Installation) forms (there're different Submit buttons in Adobe LiveCycle Designer). Reader 7.0.9 should definitely work in all cases, but Reader 8.0 (and Reader 8.1, released yesterday) doesn't work properly with ACF forms (there's an SAP note on this subject).
To use ZCI forms, all you need is Adobe Reader at client side. To use ACF forms, you also need some other client software: either (the correct version!) SAP Active Component Framework (stand alone software that you can download from SAP Marketplace; it's part of some SAP note; search for xACF and select the correct version of the note). A better option is not to install xACF manually (uninstall it if present, using Control Panel > Add/Remove programs), but to use the ActiveX control instead (reinstall it in your case because of the problem you have). First kill the AcroRd32.exe process, if it is running. Then go to "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files" and delete the file AdobeControl(s) (NW04) or AcfControls (something similar; NW04s) if present. Then access your form in your Web Dynpro application using IE (Firefox doesn't support ActiveX; the only option is to use ZCI forms with non-IE browsers). If all goes well, prior to displaying the form, IE should ask to install an ActiveX control (it will only be asked if you have sufficient privileges, that is belong to the local Administrators group).
Kind regards,
Sigiswald

Capabilities of Adobe Forms for Secure Bidding

How can electronic signatures be incorproated into Adobe Forms? I am trying to figure out how to get an existing form converted knowing that I require wet signatures now and would require electronic signatures using Adobe Forms.
How can a time stamp and a cut-off time for no further submissions be incorprated into Adobe Forms? I am interested in determining when the document was submitted and also having Adobe Forms stop accepting submissions after a designated date and point in time.
The FAQs (or elsewhere) addressed Adobe Forms accepting attachments. Could there be identification names (e.g. "check boxes") for what was being required to be uploaded for each specific and required document that is to be uploaded that all together forms a "package", like a bid package?

We currently do not support electronic signatures within FormsCentral. We have a sister service called EchoSign (www.echosign.com) that provide elecstronic signatures though we currently do not integrate with them.
There is no way to automatically close the form at a certain time/date. You would have to do that yourself manually.
I form can have multiple attachments fields so you can specify very precisely what attachments you want from people. We also provide controls on restricting file size, and file types.

Validation of Adobe Form from Web Dynpro

Hi, can you please support me with the following problem:
I created an Adobe Form, which contains several mandatory fields. The Submit-button of the form is positioned in the WebDynpro-View, in which the Adobe Form is embedded, but not within the Adobe Form. I choce this way in order to avoid a useless submit button in the Adobe Form for the Offline Scenario.
(How) is it possible to do a validation check in the Adobe Form if all mandatory fields are filled by clicking the Submit button outside the Form?
Thanks in advance,
Thorsten

Hi Thorsten,
That would be done exactly the same as checking mandatory text fields in a standard Web Dynpro application, the fact that you use an interactive form makes no difference. Whether you click on a submit button in the form or a button in the Web Dynpro, the end result is simply that the entered data is transferred to the Web Dynpro context and an action is triggered. In the action (Web Dynpro code) you can check if the data in the context is valid, e.g. mandatory fields or whatever validation you like. However, if you want to do validation in the form itself, so mandatory fields are also checked offline, you have to use scripting in the form itself.
Kind regards,
Sigiswald

Formatting Long Text gets disturbed during Adobe form Printing

Hi Guru's,
I have developed Adobe Form for PM work Orders (IW32) printing using Code u2018SFPu2019. The Order Contains order Long Text or Operation Long Text.
In my case the user maintains some table like structure in the Long text .e.g. ( Here the tab means the actual space and the text length can vary. So basically he will draw a table cells one below another by adjusting tab's)
Text 2 Tab Tab |___|___|
Te TabTab Tab |___|___|
I am reading this using READ_TEXT and it gets perfectly read.( I mean the tab positions will be intact. Also it will remain intact by the time ADS will get called)
When i submit this for generating Adobe Form the formatting of the tab positions gets disturbed and it prints something like
Text 2 |___|___|
Te |___|___|
How to keep the Tab positions intact while printing the Adobe Form? For SAP script printing it comes perfectly but for Adobe form printing it gets disturbed. Any idea how to handle this situation?
Thanks
Pradeep

Tough request!
You have to calculate the widths of texts so that to determine to which tab position refers each tab character.
You might print the sapscript to OTF format, and read the OTF to get the exact positions (based on top left border of the page).
But now comes the second big issue: how to position a text in Adobe form at a dynamic position. That, I don't know. You might ask a question about this 2nd issue in forum

Using Adobe form to import images

Is it possible to have third parties submit pictures via an Adobe form and compile the images in a format that can be imported into our ecommerce site [link removed by moderator]? I know the forms can produce csv files but not sure how they work with images. Thanks

Do you need the image to be a part of the file (ie, embedded on the page), or just as an attachment to it? The latter is easily done, the former not so much.
Either way it requires that the file be used in either Acrobat or Reader XI, though.

New to Adobe Forms and need help with Submit Email button

I am new to Adobe Forms in Windows. I created a form with a submit email button. When users try to click the button, the message is operation cannot be completed. My test user has Adobe Reader 9 installed. I'm at a loss as to how to resolve the issue. Please assist. TIA!

Three different aspects
1. Set the form up to submit the data (XML or FDF), not the full PDF. You can import the data to the PDF on your end.
2. You can turn on Extended Reader Rights, but then limit the use/users to 500 by the EULA. The applicability of this option depends on your intended application. In a small office, it would be fine. For general web use you would likely exceed the limit and be in violation of the EULA.
3. There may be an e-mail problem, one reason that e-mail is not recommended for form submission (even if the manual discusses it). Again, in a controlled environment like an office it will probably work fine, but in a web setup it is best to use a web script. There are 2 problems with e-mail that both depend on the client system (YOU have no control, but will be blamed in any case). First, the client machine has to be set up as an active MAPI client. Many folks do not have this on. Second, some e-mail clients treat PDFs like text and the result is a corrupt e-mail submission, even if it makes to you.
If you have the possibility of web submission, do it. I suggest only having the form data submitted and not the form.

Send Adobe form as PDF via E-mail

Hi,
I am doing one interacive adobe form where i need to send that filled form in PDF format via email.
I tried using below options but unfortunately its not working:
1.I used "Email Submit Button" but its sending attachment as XML which I dont want.
when reffred threads on this problem , they suggested to go to XML VIEW of this button and change SUBMIT FORMAT to "pdf" from "xml".... but in this case , that button is not working at all.
2.I used below solution
Use a regular form button: Place a regular form button on your form . Look on the Object Window for the button. On the Field tag, towards the bottom will be a set of "Control Type" radio buttons. Select the "submit" option. There should now be a "submit" tab in the Object window. Switch to the tab and on the "Submit As" pulldown select PDF. But this is also not working.
Your comments are helpful for me.

Hi,
Get your form data in XML format from Interface. There are some standard classes available to convert the XML to PDF and sending mail.
Thanks,
Revanth Naidu
