Hi,
I will try to find the standard function module. If there is no such standard function module, then we need to create a custom function module.
Check this link:
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/adobe]
Points that you can note:
1) Adobe Interactive forms can be created & connected to SAP database using ABAP Workbench, through WebDynpro.
2) Also adobe Interactive forms can be created & connected to SAP database using Transaction SFP.
3) And for both of the above 'Adobe Live cycle Designer' should be installed on the front end.

Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2-initially thought to be a user/OS issue

Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2. I initially thought this was a user / OS issue when I created a document for someone who is new to a MAC laptop. She could not view the document through email. Unfortunately, I began seeing the same error in my own document folders when searching for another document showing as icons instead of a list. I can open the file without a problem although I see the error she sees only while viewing the icons in my folder. I am using a Windows 7 PC. Now, I also know that if the document is downloaded, it can be viewed.
Other notes:
If trying to access the form via the internet, the same error is seen through Chrome, Firefox, and Mozilla but NOT through IE
Everyone seems to have the latest or a very recent READER
The form is compatible with Reader versions 7 and up
Again, downloading from the internet to the computer appears to allow the file to open properly
Document cannot be viewed on the Galaxy Tab 2 via Chrome or the pre-installed Internet Browser, nor can it be viewed through the Reader after download to tablet. I did not try on an Apple iPad.
All parties involved are up-to-date with virus protection.
Below is a link to the exact message received when trying to open the document.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wmjqzwyriovg9vi/Adobe%20Error.pdf

You're on to something KJ! Yes the form was created in LiveCycle Designer ES2 which came bundled with my Adobe X Pro. I began creating a new form yesterday and found that I could not preview the form, rendering this same "error" instead. I ran a repair on my Adobe and at first it seemed to fix the issue but after making some changes to the form I tried to preview again and couldn't. Here is what I get when I try to preview my forms in Designer ES2:
When I click the OK button, it then gives me that single static page as mentioned above in previous posts.
I searched Adobe yesterday trying to figure out how I could repair the LiveCycle Designer or if there was some sort of patch that I haven't gotten but was not able to find anything.
(Sorry for the delay in response, I've been on vacation.)

How to open multiple instance of Adobe Live Cycle Designer ES 8.2

Hi,
How do I open multiple instance of Adobe Live Cycle Designer ES 8.2. I have two forms and I need to compare them. Another situation is I want to correct/copy the contents by keeping the old and new one under the view simultaneously. I also want to take advantage of multiple monitors
The MDI style windows with Ctl+Tab to switch between documents is not helping me in the context explained above
adobe Acrobat work on multi instance if I type acrobat.exe /n;
but if I type "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Designer 8.2\FormDesigner.exe" /n;, its just opening the existing livecycle instance
please help

I don't think you can run two instances.
But you can stretch the main application window across both monitors and tile the two documents inside the main window.

Convert a Live Cycle Designer generated PDF to regular acrobat PDF

Hi,
I am assigned to the task of converting Live Cycle Designer generated PDF to regular acrobat PDF. I tried all options know to me but cannot succeed. The forms in LC designer is a fillable form with two buttons at the bottom. (Print & reset). The controls on the forms are
Textbox
Checkbox
Print & reset buttons
I tried the following options
print to a new pdf but the form became non-fillable with no controls
importing into acrobat as new form but it said "document contran xml form and cannot be imported"
tried save as with no success
I am willing to re-do the form but trying to minimize the re-work
The add or edit fields on form menu is not available for the form generated in live cycle.
we want to get rid of all live cycle dependencies and stick to bare bones acrobat
Please help

The only way I can think of woudl be to print the XFA form to PDF (using the Print driver that comes with Acrobat). This will create an AcroForm PDF for you but all fields and structure wil be lost. This will give you the boiler plate, then you can use the Form Tools in Acrobat to lay fields on top of the form.
Note that if you want to change some of the boiler plate you will have to go back to Designer and repeat the process. You may want to bite the bullet and redo the form now.

HELP required in ADOBE LIVE CYCLE DESIGNER 7

Please guide whether the following can be done in ADOBE LIVE CYCLE DESIGNER 7
1. Design a form(PDF) and connect to a database
2. Call the designed form(PDF) from an external application (Oracle Forms 9i)
3. Pass some values dynamically into the query of the form(PDF) designed.
4. Based on the values passed dynamically into the query,
some values have to be populated into the form (PDF) from the database.
5. Should be able to enter additional values in some blank columns of the called form(PDF) and save it.

1. LiveCycle Designer can helps in designing PDF and/or XDP templates these templates can fetch data from database.
2. XDP templates can render output in PDF and HTML format. Those accessible for other applications.
3. I never tried passing values in query string. There could be a way to do this.
4. These templates can prepopulate data and can do additional user interface actions. There are methods to repopulate/refetch data after initial display.
5. Forms accept additional data and can trigger events based on users actions.
Good luck

Differences between liveCycle Forms and live Cycle Designer

Good morning
Someone tell me which is the difference between lliveCycle Forms and live Cycle Designer???
Thank´s

In a nutshell:
LiveCycle Designer is a tool for creating PDF forms, form templates (XDP format) and form guides.
LiveCycle Forms is a server side product for combining form templates and XML data to produce interactive PDFs or form guides. It also can process submitted forms including extracting data from a template. Forms can be combined with other LiveCycle modules to create a more complex document workflow.
In other words: You build the template with Designer. You use Forms to merge the template with data and process user submissions.

How to check Adobe Live Cycle Designer version in ABAP Workbench ?

Hi,
Please advise how to check Adobe Live Cycle Designer version in ABAP Workbench ? Currently i am using NW 7.0 SP18 (ABA,BASIS).
Thank You and Best Regards
Fernand Lesmana

There are 3 ways you can check which version of ALD you have installed on your machine.
1. Go to transaction SFP (Forms Builder) transaction and enter a form name. Select Layout and it should open Adobe LiveCycle Designer. From ALD select Help --> About section and it should give you version details.
2. Go to SE80 and open an Interactive form application. Select the InteractiveFormUI element and click edit. This will open the ALD. From ALD select Help --> About section and it should give you version details.
3. A more simpler way is just go to C:\Program Files\Adobe on your machine and there should be Designer folder there for e.g. Designer 7.1 / Designer 8.0 / Designer 8.1

Configuring adobe live cycle designer in netweaver developer studio

Hi,
I installed Adobe Life Cycle designer 7.1 on Studio for NW04S SP9 , I open up the interactive forms ui element .
Then I opened the library pallete on the studio, but I dont find the webdynpro tab.
What should I do.
Thanks,
Harish

Hi Amol,
I have done this but to no avail.
I picked the prerequisites from help.sap.com
Let me know what I have missed:
<b>You have installed the SAP NetWeaver 4.0 Developer Workplace. You must also have Acrobat Reader 7.0 or a full version of Adobe Acrobat 7.0 if you want to use the InteractiveForm UI element. In addition, the Adobe component of the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio must be installed as this component is not installed in the standard version. However, it is very easy to install it if you want to use interactive PDF forms.</b>
The above is the prerequisite in help.sap.com
What I have done is
1. Downloaded Netweaver Developer Studio NW04S SP9 , from service.sap.com
2. Downloaded Adobe Life Cycle designer 7.1 from service.sap.com
3. I run the aldsetup.exe
Let me know what else needs to be done
Thanks,

Viewing live cycle designer es4 forms on iPhone adobe

hi. Can anyone help as to why I am unable to view forms in Adobe reader app for iOS? The forms were created in lifecycle designer es4 if it helps? My Adobe app is updated to most current version. Thanks

Bizarrely, the mobile Readers don't do XFA, and there are no apps to do this so far as I know. These are for the desktop only.

Hi Abhilash,
"Server: SAP Web AS 6.40 Java (for all scenarios), SAP Web AS 6.40 ABAP (if you are looking at high-volume print scenarios), Adobe document services (run-time component), Adobe Credential (for creating interactive PDF forms)
Frontend: SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio with Adobe LiveCycle Designer (for Web Dynpro for Java development) and/or SAP GUI 6.40 with Adobe LiveCycle Designer (or 6.20 - for developing in SAP Web AS 6.40 ABAP), Active Component Framework (for filling interactive forms in a Web Dynpro application), Adobe Reader 6.0.2 or higher (on the frontend PC)" - from <b><a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2a8a0a37-0301-0010-f794-aecd1bb426e0#q-4">INteractive Forms FAQ</a></b>
I will suggest you to have Adobe Reader >7
SAP GUI with patchlevel >18.
ADLCD >= 7.
Even you dont have ADS you must be able to see ADLCD in SFP. but you wont be able to activate ya get the output.
if you have properly copied the ADLCD seperatley into the Adobe Folder. while clicking the layout tab. open the ADLCD seperately. see if it gets opened.
or design it in ADLCD and import and export the xdp through fb_xdp_down and fb_xdp_up transactions.
Hope these helps. do update and alos search in the Interactive Forms home page as well as the Forum to get the details. there are already many posts related to it.
Thanks and Regards,
Anto.

Live Cycle Designer PDFs won't send over email

I recently created a few PDF forms using Live Cycle Designer, but when I went to distribute them via e-mail I ran into an issue. Every time I attached a PDF file, it isn't recognized by gmail. I just get the message below. It's only the Live Cycle Designer files - other PDFs send just fine. I tried updating my Live Cycle software, downloaded the new version of Reader, re-started the computer, etc. but nothing works. Help!

3 Activate the ICF service in ABAP Side
Log on to your SAP Web AS ABAP system
Choose transaction SICF.
Choose default host u2192 sap u2192 bc u2192 fp in the tree.
Choose Service/Virt.Host u2192 Activate
