Translating and transporting an Interactive Form?

Hi Folks
I have used Transaction se63 to perform a translation on my PDF form.
When i save, there is no prompt to add this translation to a Transport Request.
Does anybody know how to do this?
I have read about running report RS_LXE_RECORD_TORDER to add translations to a Transport Order, but the program gives an error each time with no information on how to correct it..
Thanks in advance.
Anton Kruse

Also, keep in mind translations don't take effect until the original form is re-activated. Sooooo the easiest way to kill two birds with one stone is to make you translation, save it, go back to form layout screen, go to properties, add/delete a character to the description, save, back out your change, save again and activate. Pain in the .....yeh....you know. haha

Hiding fields and subforms on interactive form for WebDynpro ABAP

Hi All:
I'm new to using interactive forms and I am creating a new form for material request. I need to hide selected fields based on the value of other fields. I also need to hide subforms the same way.
I have added the formcalc script to hide the field which apperas to work. But is I remove the field value, the hidden field is not made visible. This also applies to the hiding of the subform. I have tried the code at different events but no luck. If I enter 'KINC' in the plant field, the KINC_TAX_IND is visible. But if I remove or change the value, the KINC_TAX_IND is not being made visible.
Below is the code I am using:
if ( PDF_DATA.#subform[0].PLANT.value == "KINC" ) then
PDF_DATA.#subform[0].KINC_TAX_IND.presence= "visible"
else
PDF_DATA.#subform[0].KINC_TAX_IND.presence= "hidden"
endif
if ( PDF_DATA.#subform[0].PLANT.value == "" ) then
PDF_DATA.#subform[0].Subform2.presence= "hidden"
else
PDF_DATA.#subform[0].Subform2.presence= "visible"
endif
Thanks for any help.

Extract and Load Adobe Interactive Forms

I need help in validating the following scenario
1 - Customer creates a .pdf (Adobe Interactive Form) in SAP ERP2005 with an editable field
2 - Customer mails the .pdf file from ERP2005 to a vendor or extracts the .pdf file to a central repository external to SAP
3 - Vendor receives the file, populates editable field (off-line), and saves the file
4 - Vendor sends the .pdf file back to the customer
5 - Customer receives the .pdf file and imports the file into SAP ERP2005 processing the respective data on the .pdf
My question is can you performs steps 2 and/or 5. If so, how? Does it require other tools like XI and Itemfield ConversionAgent to process the extract from SAP or load to SAP?

Hello Kirk,
SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe is a basic technology that supports some of your requirements out of the box. In general you are describing a workflow in your first post, thus I would propose checking workflow-related documentation (e.g. Guided Procedures, Business Task Management). You can find links as part of the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/interactiveforms">Interactive Forms Knowledge Center</a>.

Configuring Interactive Forms by Adobe and Installing the License

Hellom
I must install the licenses and configure the Interactive Forms by Adobe to my customer. My questions are:
- How can I see the license of Interactive Forms by Adobe on the MarketPlace ?
- How must I install this license on the customer...by ABAP ?? by Java ??
- I've already configure the Adobe Document Services. There is any additional step to do inside the system ??
- Any other important additional to be considered working with Interactive Forms by Adobe ??

Albert,
1) to my knowledge, you can't see the license in Marketplace
2) on java stack, since the ADS is a Java-Service, see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/DE/fe/e8cc48abee49f082dfbd5b45d98dd4/frameset.htm
3) depends on what you have done so far... (see the above link for missing parts)
4) well.... it depends what you want to do

Is Safari and Firefox for Mac not supported on SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe?

Are Mac OS X browsers like Mozilla Firefox and Safari not supported by SAP EHP3 NetWeaver 7.0? If not, are there any alternatives? I find it hard to believe that Mac users won't be able to transact on SAP's interactive forms by Adobe.

Hi Raghu and Phillip,
Adobe Interactive Forms does not work with PDAs or mobile devices.
Please read the SAP Note.

No such method error when launching the Interactive form

Hi Experts,
I have developed a simeple Java Webdynpro application and added an Interactive form without any controls in it. Created the context with one value node and a binary value attribute.
I have assigned value node to datasource and binary attribute to pdfSource. When I launch the application I am getting the following no such method error.
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com/sap/tc/webdynpro/clientserver/uielib/adobe/api/IWDInteractiveForm.setTemplateSource(Ljava/lang/String;)V
The currently executed application, or one of the components it depends on, has been compiled against class file versions that are different from the ones that are available at runtime.
If the exception message indicates, that the modified class is part of the Web Dynpro Runtime (package com.sap.tc.webdynpro.*) then the running Web Dynpro Runtime is of a version that is not compatible with the Web Dynpro Designtime (Developer Studio or Component Build Server) which has been used to build + compile the application.
My NWDS is of Version 7.0.06
and J2EE Engine is of Version 6.40.
any guess why I am getting this error.
Thanks
Chinna.

Issue solved. Compatablility issue NWDS 2.0 Version should use for NW 2004.

Calling RFC from Adobe Interactive Form

Hello,
After creating and calling Adobe Interactive form from ABAP web dynpro, within the form designer is it possible to call RFC or Business Object method from the form script to get the data back from SAP for specific Click events?

Yes,
this is possible, but not through pure RFC, but using webservices and webservice enabled function modules within SAP.
Technically it is quite simple. Create a functionmodule, and create a webserve from that (all SE37 or SE80 but from WAS 6.40). Generate a WSDL (with the Java tool) and import that into the form that you are designing. From there you can bind the data from the dataset (as defined in the WSDL) to screenfields or treat the data any other way Javascript can.
BTW. I only managed this so far by using anonymous logins, so with a password and username bound to the webservice (in SICF).
Hope this helps, regards, Hans Gmelig Meyling

A font package is requried to correctly display after creating interactive form in livecycle

SO I created a form in acrobat. When I save it, and open it in reader, it opens it fine. But I need to make the fields expandable, so I go to livecycle, and create an interactive form with flowable layout. Once i save it, and open it in reader, it instructs me to download chinese font package. There are no chinese fonts in this document. And I only get this message after saving the form in LiveCycle. Any ideas? It just started happening last week. Never had a problem before that.

Hey buddy, I experienced similar problem.
When you creating the form, make sure the font you are selecting is a popular font. For example, if you change it to New Time Roman instead of SimSun, it will work.
Try it!

Add Subform dynamically,in Interactive form in WebDynpro

HI,
I an using NW2004s SP9 and have an Interactive form designed by Adobe Designer 7.1 from within the NetWeaver Developer Studio, with the following hierarchy of elements:
-form1(root)
--Button
--tmpForm (subform - Repeat subform for each data entry )
---ST (Text)
The Webdynpro application displays the Interactive PDF form with Reader Rights enabled by the Adobe Document Services.
On click of button, the following javascript is executed on client side:
var df = _tmpForm.addInstance(1);
df.ST.rawValue = "HI" ;
xfa.host.messageBox( "Instances" + tmpForm.all.length ) ;
On clicking the button, i get the number of the instances of the subform and the size increases on each click, but no element is added "visibly" to the pdf.
But when i try to do the same by saving the XDP file as Dynamic PDF form for Acrobat 8.0, and open it using Adobe Acrobat PRO 8.0, it works fine.
My question is,I s it not possible to add subforms dynamically in PDF's generated by Adobe Document Services with Reader Rights enabled?
Or, is there something that i am missing?
Please guide.
Thanks.
Regards,
Siddhartha

HI Dezpo,
Thanks a lot for replying.
I had checked the updated SAP Note 834573 -Interactive Forms based on Adobe software: Acrobat/Reader version, which states that:
For SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe, you require the following:
Adobe Acrobat as of Version 7.0.9
Adobe Reader as of Version 7.0.9
Important:
Note that you can only have limited use of Reader 8.0 for forms that, at runtime, are integrated in a WebDynpro application through the xACF technology (Active Components Framework). In this runtime environment, Reader 8.0 currently only supports static interactive forms. If you are using dynamic interactive PDF forms, we recommend that you use Reader 7.0.9. In the application, you can use parameters, or you can call methods, to determine whether you want to create a static or dynamic PDF form.
I tried with the reader versions - 7.0.7, 7.0.9 and 8.01, but it doesn't work for either of them.

Siddhartha Jain

Save Interactive form to SAP

Hi All
I have a requirement where we display an interactive form in a web dynpro. The user captures some information and on submit I need to save the interactive form (i.e. the file) as a notification attachment in QM02.
I'm not sure if this is possible and if not, what is the best way of saving an interactive form in SAP.
Thanks in Advance

Thanks Nawal
What I am trying to do is save and update the Interactive form as a notification attachment. I convert the xstring data to binary and store the form as an attchment using fm SDOK_PHIO_STORE_CONTENT and this works. I can read the binary data, convert it to xstring and display the adobe form on the portal.
But when I want to update the binary content in SAP with any changes, I use fm SDOK_PHIO_STORE_AS_UPDATE. This also seems to work but when I try to display the updated document on the portal, it says the file is damaged and could not be repaired.

Passing values to the dropdown in Adobe Interactive form

Hello Adobe Experts,
Can you please provide some inputs for the below mentioned points.
I have created a webdynpro application and placed an interactive form.
1. I have 2 dropdown fields in the interactive form..say Country and State. How can i show the all countries available in SAP system in the Country dropdown.(like standard dropdown)
2. How can i dynamically show the States of selected country in the dropdown of State.
3. I need to validate the mandatory fields on the form on click of Submit button kept on the form. But, giving Value Type "User entered...required" is not working. how to validate in another way. Should we write validation script for all individual fields.
4. How to place a web link on the interactive form. When user clicks on this link, we should navigate to that particular link.
Thanks & Regards,
Ram.

Hi RAM,
I'll try to answer your questions one by one. Any comments and feedback are welcome.
1.- I assume that you have created a Model, a Service Controller and binded the data to your view.
At this point, you need to bind the property datasource of your interactive form to a node in your context hierarchy.
This data will be available at the form Data View Palette.
Then you have to edit your form, drag a Drop Down List to the form and in the Fields Tab of the Object Palette you need
to bind the List Items property. Just click the link and in the "Dynamic Properties" window, choose the table root node for Items, and the Text and Value atributes for Text and value properties respectively.
After that, in the binding tab, you will have to do the "default binding", and bind the values clicking on "Specify Item Values".
