They forgot Adobe Forms ??

Hi,
after many tries, I´ve finally installed the SAP Netweaver 2004s (SP12) in my computer. Now that I try to practice with Adobe Forms, the layout is not working and I get an error message. Reading in this and other forums, it seems like I have to download from http://service.sap.com/swdc the tool Adobe Designer 7. Has anyone done this ??
In previous versions of SAP Netweaver 2004s, this and many other components (BW, Knowledge Management, Add-Ons, etc.) were available during the installation process and now they are gone. Does anyone where I can get that ??
Thanks a lot.

Yes, you need to download and install the Adobe Life Cyle Designer. You may also need a j2ee engine for the Adobe Document Services as well.

How do I create a "forgot password" and "forgot username" Form?

Good Day,
I am in need of assistance in learning how to create a "forgot password" and "forgot username" form in DW CS4. I have researched Adobe and the Internet and I am coming somewhat empty on tutorials or step-by-step instructions.
I would appreciate any step-by-step instructions, a link to a good online tutorial, or any other related source that can help me get from beginning to end.
Thank you.

Hope this work for you...
What kind of web programming do you use for? If you use PHP MySQL, you can do it easily.
For example I use a MySQL Table called "admin":
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `admin` (
`id` int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`name` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
`email` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
`username` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
`password` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
`activation` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
`level` int(2) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`date_registered` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=2 ;
INSERT INTO `admin` (`id`, `name`, `email`, `username`, `password`, `activation`, `level`, `date_registered`) VALUES
(1, 'Andoyo', '[email protected]', 'andoyo', 'andoyo', '8e67d638c0d130a4d66b2888ffc8335b', 0, '2011-09-21 10:32:16');
Make two files, they are:
forgot_password.php, contain form and php mail function
error.php, a redirect page if the mail function doesn't work.
And then, use your Dreamweaver to make a recordset, called: rsForgotPassword
Click Insert > Data Objects > Recordset
Name: rsForgotPassword
Connection: adobe_cookbooks
Table: admin
Columns: All
Filter: email, Form variable, =, email. Use form variable to pass the value from the form.
Click OK
Use if function to make the forgot function work perfectly, for example:
If the email is entered correctly, the mail script will run
If the email doesn't exist in the database, the notification will come out
If they open the page directly, they have to type any keyword
Final example:
forgot_password.php
<?php require_once('Connections/adobe_cookbooks.php'); ?>
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
    $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
$theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);
switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "long":
    case "int":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "double":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? doubleval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "date":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "defined":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
      break;
return $theValue;
$colname_rsForgotPassword = "-1";
if (isset($_POST['email'])) {
$colname_rsForgotPassword = $_POST['email'];
mysql_select_db($database_adobe_cookbooks, $adobe_cookbooks);
$query_rsForgotPassword = sprintf("SELECT * FROM `admin` WHERE email = %s", GetSQLValueString($colname_rsForgotPassword, "text"));
$rsForgotPassword = mysql_query($query_rsForgotPassword, $adobe_cookbooks) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsForgotPassword = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsForgotPassword);
$totalRows_rsForgotPassword = mysql_num_rows($rsForgotPassword);

Error when connecting Adobe Form with PayPal

We are trying to integrate an Adobe Form into a PayPal purchase so that after a customer has purchased something, they are directed to a form to enter some personlization information. However, it seems that the link is getting changed in the process as you get this message when you click on the redirect link: an error has occurred.
The form does not exist. Please re-enter the web address as the link may be misspelled.
The form exists and this is the link: https://adobeformscentral.com/?f=EL-oB4MmM1PfLdRv4RBmEQ
It works fine when used alone but we really need it to work in combination with the PayPal. It is for the purchase of pawprint ornaments and can be found at http://www.humanesocietyofmarlboro.org/
Pleae let us know how we can get this resolved. We need it working ASAP.
Thanks,
Terasa

Hi;
Where is it that you have a re-direct link to the form from that Paypal purchase process? I would double check that you copy/paste the entire link properly and look at the re-direct to make sure it is going to the entire URL and not modifying it or stripping part of it.
Are you aware that you can do the Paypal payment process through the FormsCentral form? https://www.acrobat.com/formscentral/en/video-index/paypal-integration-setup.html
Thanks,

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.

How to use SAP Business Workflow along with Interactive Adobe Form

Hi Experts,
I am working on SAP Business Workflow since last couple of years.
Now i have got a new Project where client wants to use SAP Business Workflow along with Interactive Adobe Form.
I am new to Interactive Adobe Form and Portal thing and i really dont know from where to start.
We have one central system and 2 local systems. when we do create a Material document using adobe form workflow should trigger and notification should go to group of users who can approve or reject it, once they approve it document gets created in central system and replicated to 2 local system through ALE.
In the Local system they do extend the document to different plants, again workflow triggers and notification will go to Managers inbox for the approval.
Once the final approval done data should go and store in SAP.
Now here i have couple of Questions.
1. In SAP R3 Business workflow when i execute the workitem from the inbox i do get the application screen ( i.e. MM01 MRP View ) , what is going to happen if the same case i have with Adobe form?? is it possible or do we have to design a adobe form and we will have to map the fields with backend application??
2. Do i have to maintained 3 separate Org Structure for 3 different system or using UWL i can manage the show
3. Untill final submit is not done, where the application data is going to be, is there any kind of buffer that we will have to keep it or its there with XML file??
Please help me out.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
Welcome to ADOBE Forms related Workflow Development. Well, here are my answers.
1) You can go for either go for ISR based development or WD development with Adobe form. In both the cases you can achieve your requirement. Yes, you will have to design the Adobe form and bind the fields to backend.
2) Am not clear or your System landscape to advice you in these regards.
3) Until final Submit/Approval is done, the data can be stored in WORKFLOW CONTAINERS or XML FORM(If you go for ISR based Development).
Hope this helps.
Regards

How to use the separate symbol in the text field in the adobe form.

Hi,experts,
I dont know how to use the separate symbol to make a paragraph separate into several lines correctly in the text field in the adobe form.
Action:
1. config the ADS successfully.
2. create the adobe form with a mult-line textfield(binding the 'remark' context in the interface of the form) using sfp.
3. create a WDA for invoke the form and transfer the 'remark' context data.
I use the following codes to display the paragraph in the PDF document:
CONCATENATE
'1、aaaaaaaaaaa；'
'2、bbbbbbbbb '
'3、ccccccccccc'
'4、ddddddddd'
INTO remark .
lo_nd_z_hr_php_payslip->set_attribute(
EXPORTING
name = `REMARK`
value = remark ).
But I found all the content aren't paragraph separate correctly in the text field in the adobe form when I run the WDA.
Could you please give me some hints to make the paragraph separate correctly in PDF document? Thanks a lot in advance!
My email is : [email protected]
Best regards,
Tao

Hi,
If it is just a one word value then you could use this in the exist event;
this.rawValue
= util.printx(">?<*",this.rawValue);
This changes the first character (represented by the ?) to uppercase (represented by the >) and all trailing characters (represented by the *) to lowercase (represented by the <).
If you wanted something more general ... if they could also enter a middle name then you could call a function like;
function toTitleCase(textValue)
return textValue.toLowerCase().replace(/\b[a-z]/g, function replacer(match) { return match.toUpperCase(); });
This uses a regex to change all lowercase letters following a word boundary to uppercase.

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

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.

Place the Adobe Form as PDF file in a URL

Tried with HTTP* function modules and seems they are not working.

Hi Sai,
Thanks for ur input.
My requirement is not exactly the string with XML data, but the string with PDF data.
I will try to explain my requirement here in detail.
I have the adobe form triggering from the webdynpro. This form has different objects like, text fields, dropdowns, check boxes, radio buttons...etc and one SUBMIT button for which webservice is attached in the properties.
User will fill all the fields and clicks on SUBMIT. When he clicks on the SUBMIT, the webservice should attach the filled PDF document at partner level.
For this purpose, i need the string with PDF data and not the XML.
WIth this PDF string again i should be able to re generate the PDF document which was filled by the user.
If string with PDF data is not possible, Please suggest me the possible way of achieving this?
Regards,
Ram.

Adobe Form Error: Invalid Response Code: (401) Unauthorized. The request...

When trying to run an Adobe Form webdynpro app, I am receiving the following error:
<b>Invalid Response Code: (401) Unauthorized. The requested URL was:"http://localhost:50000/AdobeDocumentServices/Config?style=document"</b>
I have checked the ADS test at <server:port>/AdobeDocumentServices/Config; the test did return the version number.
<i><b>Does anyone have any other ideas of what I should check?</b></i>
Also, why is it running a url with "localhost" in it? If this is running on the java was server, then I guess that could make sense. But if the url request is requesting something from localhost, isn't that my computer? I guess it depends on if this is a server request or a client request. I hope this is a server request.

Sumit -
First, I think config is okay. I can run the web service under my id okay.
Second, I am not sure what the impact is having the build done locally.
I am building and deploying locally in NWDS to my local portal. But then I am sending the EAR file to the system admin to deploy to my dev server (I am doing this because they will not give out the SDM password. And, I am waiting on the NWDI setup to be complete; when that is complete I will let NWDI deploy to the dev portal.)
Incidentally, I am receiving this error on the dev server, not my local portal. (I have tried running on my local portal, but I am getting a socket timeout error. But this is interesting, because I <i>can</i> run other webdynpro non-Adobe apps. I am not tracking down this error at this point because I am really just interested in the dev server. If I get past the 401 error on the dev server, and then get the socket timout issue...then I will worry about it.)

Adobe Form called from SAP Portal, not executing interface global init code

Hello!
I have an adobe form called from both R/3 and SAP Portal and I need to show long text dinamically calculated.
The deal is at the SAP Portal execution, as scenario characteristics don't allow string definitions, I'm using 255 characters tables (QISR_TAB_TYPE), that I'm trying to convert inside form interface (Global init code).
The problem is that the interface global init code is being executed when the form is called from R/3, but it is not at SAP Portal.
Does anybody know how to manage this? It's kind of a problem that the BAdi method int_service_request_init doesn't allow types over 255 characters... and if it is not possible to access the form interface code section (maybe there's any way)... i need to find some code section where i can convert tables before the form context is filled!!
Thanks a lot!!
Regards,
Diana.
