To scale an adobe form from Size A3 to A4

Hi experts,
i have one small question. When i create for example a AdobeForm in Size A3, is it later possible to scale this A3 size for example to A4 at printtime?
I have seen that with help of the printpreview, the preview is seen in adobe reader. Here i can say print this A3-Size into A4, and it is working(Adobe scales the A3 to A4). I want to decide in the printprogram in which size the output will be genereated. Is this possible?
Thank you for answering my question
Thorsten

Adobe Reader (which is showing you your PDF even inside SAP) has built in function allowing to scale document to the size of paper in the printer. But this is function of Adobe Reader (not the form itself) and can help only if you are ready for some "help" from the user at the time of printing.
If you want to do it directly (without user intervention), than I'm afraid there are no built-in function for page scaling inside PDF. But you can include two master pages of different sizes in the design of your Adobe form and choose one of them during form generation according to your needs. Please have a look at my old post [here|Is it possible to trigger the pages differently; on how to do it.

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!

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

Getting adobe form file size at run time

hi,
ya i need the adobe form file size at run time. my requirement
is to get xstring and file size of the adobe form. adobe form format is already in xstring format, but how to get the file size.

Hi,
try the following:
DATA lv_file_content TYPE xstring.
DATA lv_file_size TYPE i.
lv_file_size = XSTRLEN( lv_file_content ).
This will give you the file size in Byte. For KB, just divide by 1024, and once more for MB.
Kind regards

Call XML Schema based Adobe form from ABAP Program

Hi,
I have a scenario where an online Interactive form is designed and its working fine. Now i have a requirement to call the same Adobe form from a report for viewing purpose. Since it is XML Schema based Interface, is it possible to call the same form instead of creating a new one with the same template? Because i tried to call the same Adobe form by passing the values and converting those to XML(By Creating Transformation). Then i converted the XML to XSTRING and passed to the Generated Function Module for Input paramter "/1bcdwb/docxml". This resulted in an error "com.adobe.ProcessingException: com.adobe.Processin".
Please help me out in solving this and check the attachment for code.
Thanks,

Default email subject for Adobe Form from Netweaver Guided Procedure

Hi everyone.
When we generate an Adobe form from a Netweaver Guided Procedure, a default subject of "Interactive Form {xxxxxxxx}" is used where xxxxxxxx is the Process ID of the Guided Procedure. Is this default subject configurable? Where can I change it?
If we define a custom email template for the form, the subject of the email becomes our custom subject concatenated with the Process ID. Where is it defined that the Process ID must be included in the email subject?
Thanks,
.. Craig

Hello,
I have no experience regarding the table of pictures, but you could try a workaround if you don´t insist of displaying the images. You could attach the pictures as attachments (you know, the little attachments icon on the left in your Reader). The ABAP coding for this can be found in SE38 FP_* and when you check the descriptions you should be able to find the one working with the attachments.
Would be better than nothing I guess,

Call standard adobe form from a WD application

Hi All,
I have a requirement of displaying a standard adobe form from a click of a button in a WDA portal,
I am an ECC developer and have no idea of WD. I created a function module which uses submit statement to invoke the driver program and displays the PDF output, but when this function module is invoked from the portal on the click of button it gives and error FP job open error.
I understand that displaying PDF wont work in this way on portal, so can anyone please guide me the correct procedure on how to achieve this.

Migrate an Adobe form from sfp into developer studio

Hello,
does anyone know if there is a way to migrate an Adobe print-form out of the SFP-transaction into the Netweaver developer studio? (so that it can be integrated into a web dynpro)
I know it is possible if the forms are designed in the Adobe Designer as a stand-alone application..
And I have also already tried downloading the form as an xml-file from the SFP-transaction and then renaming it .xdp to be able to import it into the designer.
But I noticed in the xml file that the SFP-transaction generates items that makes the template useless for other applications.

Adobe Reader (which is showing you your PDF even inside SAP) has built in function allowing to scale document to the size of paper in the printer. But this is function of Adobe Reader (not the form itself) and can help only if you are ready for some "help" from the user at the time of printing.
If you want to do it directly (without user intervention), than I'm afraid there are no built-in function for page scaling inside PDF. But you can include two master pages of different sizes in the design of your Adobe form and choose one of them during form generation according to your needs. Please have a look at my old post [here|Is it possible to trigger the pages differently; on how to do it.

Adobe form from webdynpro : Getting a single row in the table

Hello,
I have a scenario in which I have to create a adobeform from webdynpro application.
I have created the form and have the context designed in place.
I am facing a problem in the table I have in my adobeform.
I am adding rows to this table dynamically using a button using "addInstance"
Now on the webdynpro side , when I try to read this table I get a single row from this table.
This row is always the first row of that table.
I checked the following things from blog   /people/juergen.hauser2/blog/2006/09/12/avoiding-common-mistakes-when-using-tables-on-sap-interactive-forms , i.e. :
Cardinality of the node.
Tick on the option "Repeat Row for Each Data Item".
But still no success.
With deadlines to catch I had to post this question after trying a lot.Please help.

Hello Otto,
I had found this link before and used the same solution , but unfortunately is taking a long time.
Now what I am doing is :
1. I append 10 rows into the table then bind it to the node
2. Then on the adobe form I have removed the check on "Add row for each line item" because of which it shows only 1 row
     on the form.
     Now I add rows dynamically, but this puts a limit on the number of rows can be added to the table i.e. 10.
But this again has added problems like while displaying the form or modifying I hav to handle it seperately and cannot use the same form as it is.( as I have removed the tick for "Add row for each line item" ).
Thanks,
Omkar Mirvankar

Calling adobe form from webdynpro abap view

Hi,
I need some help. The situation is: I have created a Adobe form interface as well as a form using the SFP transaction. Now, I have a webdynpro screen with a button, which upon pressed must give the output of the PDF form.
I tried the following steps:
1. Call function 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
2. Call 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
3. Call the generated function module name
4. Call FP_JOB_CLOSE.
The procedure works fine when I use the same code in a report program. It opens a dialog box where there is a option for Print preview and it displays the PDF.
But when I try to replicate the same, it does not work in Webdynpro for ABAP. Any suggestions as to how to go about this problem?
regards,
Praveen Kumar

Hi Praveen
there is documentation on the Web Dynpro for ABAP integration of Interactive Forms in the SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/aa/940ee5331b4b8fa0a6cb6714dc5db4/frameset.htm which should answer most of your questions.
You specify the form to be used during the design of your Web Dynpro application (you are prompted to determine it when you insert the UI element).
You can save the form from the Reader toolbar, the question would be why would you want to do this and not use a proper download screen.
A proper tutorial is planned to be available in June. Until then, check the ABAP page in SDN for some e-learning / webinar recording), or directly here: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/media/uuid/c766e918-0b01-0010-99b1-c2b78cd059b3
