Tab in Adobe forms

Hello,
Has anyone used Tabs in adobe forms to switch between windows/screens?
Is it possible?
Thanks,
Bala

Hmm interesting requirement ,
I have nt tried but i guess u can try implementing this scenario using subforms with row of buttons .
all the buttons can be placed in a subform (header subform).
The different UI can be placed in differnt subforms under this header subform.
Each subform will be controlled by a button .For the button fomcalc script can be used which makes the elements in the sunform visible and hidden .
design wud be :
button1 button2 button3
subform1 | subform2 | subform3 |
script will be as follows
event :initiaize
subform1.presence="visible"
subform2.presence="hidden"
subform3.presence="hidden"
onclick (for button2 in subform2)
subform2.presence ="visible"
I believe it would be a great experience to implement this.
Do let me knw the further update on this idea.

Adobe form Error "Memory protection fault in OLE container control"

Hi,
I am getting the error "Memory protection fault in OLE container control" while trying to open the layout tab of adobe forms.
I am getting this error for all the adobe forms.Please let me know the solution.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Nuthan.

I can reproduce this error consistently.. This is how: Install Microsoft SQL Server 2008.
As soon as I remove SQL 2008 the error went away. Adobe LiveCycle Designer was invoked via OLE2 interface. Apparently SQL Server 2008 (as in my case or some other applications in your case) modified the way OLE2 behaves and therefore causes this error.

Missing Webdynpro activex control tab in Adobe Layout

Hi,
Can anybody tell me the reason for missing Webdynpro activex control tab in Adobe Form Layout?Only few tabs such as standard,ISR are available?Not all tabs are visible.
Regards,
Rohini.M

Hello,
The WebDynproActiveX objects are actually xfo files stored in a folder locally. Path looks like the following: C:\Documents and Settings\<user_name>\Application Data\Adobe\Designer\en\objects\
There should be a WebDynproActiveX folder containing all the xfo representing the objects. If you don't have them, download an install again the latest version of the LiveCycle Designer.

Tab control in Adobe forms

Hello,
Is it possible to have a tabstrip control like the one which we have in module pool where we group set of fields under one tab in case of adobe form ?
thanks

Hello Sneha,
I have used buttons as tabstrips , i am not able to paste the source code .However, all you have to do is :
1. Place 2 buttons say btn1 and btn2, one having a dark color and other a lighter color.
2. Place two subforms say sf1 and sf2.sf1 has content of first tab , and sf2 has content of second tab.
3. By default btn1(darker color) & sf1 will be visible.
4. On click of btn2 , interchange the color of buttons & visibilty of subforms.
I hope the above statements suffice.If you want the whole source code just contact at virag.shinde(@)lntinfotech.com

The 'applications' tab in tools does not list Adobe documents (pdf), only adobe forms - so it will not open pdfs properly. How do i add an item to Applications?

The topic in Help relating to the Applications manager tab shows Adobe.pdf as a separate line, but it does not appear in my set up. I can download pdf files, but not open them online (e.g hotel menus etc.)

I have a similar problem. Even though Word is listed under Firefox applications as opening .doc files, when I try to download a .doc file, it always asks me to choose an application and I have to go through an extra three steps to open Word.

Displaying Adobe Form through CRM WEB UI

Hi Experts,
Currently I am working on CRM Technical which is very new to me. I've got a requirement to display the Adobe form through CRM WEB UI. The requirement is like this.
In a screen of WEB UI there is a option of OUTPUT preview. When i select the specific billing document and when i click on OUTPUT Preview tab it should display the Adobe Form which was developed in SAP GUI using txn SFP. I have done some R&D on it and i found that an ACTION Profile need to be created for this kind of requirements. But in my research i found only Smartforms can be displayed using the ACTION point.. Could anyone help me out how to display the Adobe Form using the Action......
Regards,
Aarthi.

Hi Robert,
I came across this post after implementing the same solution. It works fine for me in SAPgui, i.e. it creates an entry in the spool which I can priview or print, but when I use the webUI it just opens a new window with a white background and the message 'Error in smartform'.
Nitin, did you manage to come up with any solution? Or did this work for you?

Performance issue with Adobe forms

Dear SAP Experts,
We have the following issue/requirement from our client. The client is on SAP ECC 6.0 - production environment.
The client is highlighting performance issue while accessing the adobe forms for HR and FI business process ( both static and interactive ).
                Examples are
    FI – Invoice Approvals
                HR – Job Salary Change
The client is asking us to provide best practices surrounding:
1.       How to improve the performance of the adobe forms while accessing in SAP.
2.       Is there any other technology which we can use in SAP to replace the adobe forms which has better performance factor.
3.       Are there solutions such as webdynpro floor plan manager, UI Fiori which can be alternately used?
Regards,
Sakthi

Hello Priya,
     Adobe forms are easy to develop and much more comfortable than SAP Scripts and Smartforms. Initially they are a bit difficult but once you have your hands on, they are the most simplest things in ABAP.
Performance in Adobe forms is a mix of both fine tuning the Layout as well as back end coding.
Performance in Adobe forms cannot be done overnight. A lot of care has to be taken during the initial stage of development.
As far as my experience is concerned, please consider the below points while developing SAP Adobe forms.
1) Avoid Scripting (Javascript/Formcalc) as much as possible inside the form. It drastically reduces the performance and makes the form to execute slower. If you still want to use scripting(which cannot be avoided for some requirements), use Formcalc since it is comparatively faster than JavaScript.
2) Try to avoid the coding inside the Form Interface. You can always handle the maximum coding in the Driver program and pass it to the form.
3) Use Form Caching.
For forms that have fixed layout, its a good way to increase the performance of form rendering. In the layout, go to Form Properties. Then Click on Defaults tab and select Allow Form Rendering To Be Cached On Server. Then Click OK.
For forms that have flowable or dynamic layout, render the forms on the client side because it improves performance.
Last but not the least, please go through the below post by Otto Gold which is worth a read at least once.

Adobe Forms - How do I set up e-mail responses

I am an HTML web designer who has been frustrated by forms. So I purchased Adobe Forms. Extremely easy to create.
Here's what I don't understand: When someone responds, is it possible to have the e-mail response sent to the people I am creating the forms for?
I thought it would be sent to them if they were listed as a collaborator, but the e-mail notifications don't go to them.
What can I do?

Adobe forms from scratch - Standard programs?

Hi,
I have just begun trying to implement Adobe forms from scratch at my company. Previosly we have used an external printing solution so I can't convert anything. My plan is to create a new output medium and let the users select the new type by themself. But I have a couple of questions:
1. How do I create a new medium (Examples: Print output/Fax/Telex, as found in t-code NACT - Processing routines)
2. I guess there are SAP standard printing programs, interfaces and forms, but I can't find them. I need to be able to print all the usual docs from orders, deliveries and invoices. All I have in NACT are old home-made (Z*) programs so if you know what SAP think we should use now, please let me know!
We have ERP6 ehp4 on netweaver 7 ehp1 and I have created one "Adobe form" myself so I can confirm that it works. but I don't want to invent the wheel twice...
Thanx in advance!
Br Linus Hellsing

Hi Linus,
I was wondering if you had a moment to comment on an opportunity that I am having regarding Adobe forms development efforts?
If so, please read on:
Our offshore team has worked on a development effort to replace Smart Forms PO's and Contracts with Adobe forms. They created new output types for these Adobe forms. In testing I noticed that the only way I can get them to print - is if I go into Print Preview and print -or- use SP01 and click on the .pdf icon and print. In both cases it uses Adobe Acrobat to perform the actually printing.
We cannot seem to get them to print using the normal SAP message utility. Our users would expect to continue to:
1. Use the Messages button while in the PO document - and select the new output type along with Meduim= Printed Output...
2. Then they select Further data button - to specify Send Immediately.
3. Then they use the Communication Method tab and specify the Logical Destination (as LOCL) and click on the Check box for Print immediately.
They get what appears to be an rambling of Adobe error lines followed by many blank pages....
At this point I am not sure if the print program is working correctly - or if the problem is with Adobe Document Services?
Have you ever encountered a situation like this during your Adobe development efforts?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards,
Steve

How to print Adobe Forms without the black/gray backgrounds in the side columns

How can we print Adobe Forms without the black/gray backgrounds in the side columns? We are wasting a lot of ink printing out these forms and would like to have simply black ilnes to distinguish columns and black lettering, but no background colors. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am not positive what you are printing from but I am thinking it is from the View Responses tab with a response row selected and then shown in "Detail View" and that the column of field names has a dark grey background...
To change the color of the column headers select the row of headers (do this by clicking on the first dark grey header field and then scroll to the last one and shift+click on the last one), then in the "Text" tools change the text color to Black and the Fill color to white:
(Selected the header cells)
Changed the text/font color to black and the fill color to white
Now you can see the detail view does not have the dark grey.
Thanks,
Josh

I am trying to open an existing form in Adobe Form builder (TA SFP).
When ever I display a standard form say FP_TEST_01 and go to the layout tab, I get an error saying Error occurred in communication with layout editor. I am using ECC 5.0 system.
Am I missing any configurations?
We have all the required configurations set as mentioned in Configuration guide. (Required for ABAP stack).
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance.

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,

What is the print program for adobe form MEDRUCK_PO, How would I know that?

Hello All,
I am new to ADOBE forms and I have a requirement to develop a new Purchase Order Adobe Form . I need to confidure output types too. I am copying 'NEU' to 'ZNEU', and form name 'MEDRUCK_PO' to 'ZMEDRUCK_PO', but what would be the program name and form routine? How would I know the program name and form routine for new output type/form combination.
Any kind of help is highly appreciated and rewarded.
Thanks in advance
Abaper

I am working on exactly same thing - customizing pdf form MEDRUCK_PO.
I copied MEDRUCK_PO to Z_MEDRUCK_PO and put my changes into the form.
You will use transaction SPRO to display the current routine and form and put your changes into effect.
SPRO-> click tab SAP Reference Image->Material Management->Purchasing->Messages->Forms(Layout Sets) for Messages->Assign Form and Output program for Purchase Order.
In the Form column change the form name to yours - Z_MEDRUCK_PO for example. You can also change the routine name if you want.
Take a look at SAPFM06P, specifically at includes FM06PE03 and FM06PE04.
You will find routines adobe_entry_neu, adobe_entry_mahn and adobe_entry_aufb in FM06PE03. They call routine adobe_print_output located in FM06PE04.
