Use of ADOBE form with SAP workflow for R/3 4.6C

Hi All,
We are thinking of usage of ADOBE form feature as one of options to design workflow for creation and maintenance of Info record like Material Master creation. BTW the existing systems are EP 7.0 with the back end SAP ERP system 4.6 C
We would like to just check the feasibility of usage of ADOBE interactive form for above scenario. Would it be possible to go ahead with the above concept or what would be pre-requisites or risks involved?
1. How would system identify the role to direct the Adobe form for approval in case the form is raised by multi department?
2. How can the data validations in ADOBE form happen with reference to SAP std. tables?
An early reply would be appreciated.
Rgds,

Hi,
If you use EP 70 you can used guided procedure for your requirement .

How to use Adobe forms with F150 Dunning Run

Hi,
I want to use Adobe forms with the transaction F150 Dunning Run.
How do I get the adobe form in customizing? I have put the FM 'FI_PRINT_DUNNING_NOTICE_PDF' in business transaction Event, BF31 - P/S modules of SAP app - 00001720, Fi-FI. But it is still not recognizing the ADOBE form.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am also working for calling custom adobe form instead of sapscript.
While configuring BTE 1720, i noticed that configuring BTE only FI-FI application does not solve the purpose. You need to assign function module FI_PRINT_DUNNING_NOTICE_PDF for all Application Area Indicator.
Adding to IS-PS will allow to print for customer.
This solved my problem. But this setting is global so you need to take care of it.

Rearrange pages when printing adobe form with multiple master pages

Hello!
Good day to you all.
I have an issue in regards with printing my adobe form with multiple Master pages. I have 4 master pages:
1st master page: a
2nd master page: b
3rd master page: c
4th master page: d
all with different headers and footers all having the same contents (items). I don't have issue with one page content (it just prints 4 pages with different headers and footers). The issue comes out once the items exceed 1 page.
What happens is that the preview/print shows (example: 3-page item)
a1-a2-a3-b1-b2-b3-c1-c2-c3-d1-d2-d3.
What i need is to print these such that all 1st pages of the 4 master page to be printed first, then all the 2nd pages, then all 3rd pages. Please see below:
a1-b1-c1-d1-a2-b2-c2-d2-a3-b3-c3-d3
This is because we will be using carbonless copy paper during printing and it's possible that it would be printed on batch jobs. Please suggest ways to do this.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Best Regards,
abap_peer_dangs

Hi,
Is that requirement of multiple pages as groups only at the time of print or at print preview also...?
Can you have a Print button on this screen or you should be using the Abobe toolbar's Print button..?
Well if this on a click of a button in the form and the requirement is only at the time of print and not on print prieview I can have a JS script which does this...
Let me know if this suffice, I can try with a local file and send you the script.
@ Chris: I didn't understand what do you mean by reported, I was eager to hear and learn a solution from you may be a new approach which I am not aware of ...?
Cheers,
Sai.

Adobe Form with XML interface cannot retrieve all data from SAP

hi all
I want to use the Adobe forms for the real estate module.
I had seen that adobe forms can have an interface with XML input and output as parameter.
In the interface type only the /DOCPARAMS an the DOCXML are INPUT parameters which are available.
No other INPUT parameter can be added to it.
When i try to retrieve the data in real estate there are some default function modules for retrieving the data from real estate.
But this function modules also are going to find out if the form which asks for this information has a IMPORT parameter
for the required data. For example, the SENDER data is retrieved, but before the default function module retrieve this data
the function module checks if the form has a INPUT parameter SENDER.
And that is not the case. And i cannot create the SENDER parameter to it, because this INTERFACE type does not allow it.
Does anybody know a solution herefore?
kind regards,
Anton Pierhagen

Hi Bhaskar
It is a long time ago, almost 2 years.
I created my own custom development for calling the Adobe form. This custom development uses the correct function module interface with the IMPORT XML.
The XML which i sent as IMPORT PARAMETER to the form is also created by own custom development. Via the default XML class of SAP
So that was my solution
Kind regards,

Using the Adobe Forms for printing through portal

Hi All,
I've got a problem with the fact that I do not know exactly how to use the Adobe Forms from the portal.
I've got the Form Objects done (Interface & Form using SE80) and they work OK when testing the form. The Interface gathers all the datas etc. and the form displays this correctly.
My problem now is that I need to have this form available from the portal, and this I presume needs some WebDynPro stuff or something else? I'm totally lost on this part ...
The customer wants to have a button or link in the portal that opens a new window with the produced PDF opened in the new window, much like opening a static PDF file. The user then has the option to print the PDF him/herself using Adobe Readers own print mechanism.
My interface has only one Import parameter (PERNR number) and one EXPORT parameter (default). The PERNR number must be supplied to the interface so that it can gather all the needed data based on this number.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated and rewarded accordingly.
Thankyou in advance,
Kim

Hi Arnab,
from a forms point of view:
(I assume you have the ADS up and running on the Java stack. Without it, the form generation doesn't work.)
If you create your form in transaction SFP and execute the corresponding program that calls the form for testing in SE38, you get to the print dialogue. Here you may choose either locl or lp01 (or any other printer accessible through your network) and then select Print Preview. This should then display the PDF in SAP GUI.
If you are asking about general printer setup within SAP, check the corresponding documentation: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/d9/4a8eb751ea11d189570000e829fbbd/frameset.htm

3.what is extra functionality you are providing to end user

Hi,
Use of Adobe form:
As of SAP NetWeaver u201904 (in SAP Web Application Server), you can use a new solution to create interactive forms and print forms for the optimization of your form-based business processes. This solution uses Portable Document Format (PDF) and software from Adobe Systems Inc. that has been integrated into the SAP environment.
You can create interactive forms in PDF format that allow users to fill out the form on the screen and save their entries in XML format in the form. When the SAP system receives the PDF form, it extracts the data saved in the form, and can process it further.
Smart form Vs Adobe form
Smart forms / scripts are used to show the data in SAP. Most likely you will use these to print / display some kind of reciepts / forms.
but, Adobe forms are used to post data into SAP from SAP too.
●      Create form templates for the layout that include logos or pictures
●      Generate documents by merging form templates and current system data
●      Edit forms online or offline
●      Forms can be filled in advance automatically with specific data from SAP applications and then sent to the correct recipients using secure methods
●      Automatic consistency checks for forms
●      Activate enhanced functions such as comments
●      Digital signatures and form certification
●      Send completed forms to the SAP application with automatic updates of the business data

Adobe Forms with APO DP Livecache

We have a requirement where in we need to develop Custom UI to show APO DP data in Real-Time. This means, the custom UI should read data directly from Livecache and we plan to use Adobe forms for this. My question is, can adobe forms read & write data from Livecache? If yes, how would this be achieved. If any one can help with a realevant pointer, it would be a great help.
Thanks & Regards,
Ganesh Pai

Hi Ganesh,
There is no SAP provided standard functionality available to directly convert livecache data to adope form. You can transfer the results of DP realtime data into excel sheet and then convert to Adobe forms.
But you need to customise integration of Adobe form with livecache data as per your requirement.
You can also make use the below link for preparation of your data extraction.

Is in Adobe Forms with ZCI "ActiveX" mandatory?

Hi,
I am wondering if in ZCI Adobe Forms ActiveX is still necessary? I hoped it was not, because our customer doesn't allow ActiveX. I thought when I have a native Form in my Web Dynpro Java I would NOT need ActiveX Controls in the browser any more. I have the Adobe Lifecycle Designer 7.1 with the current patches/notes and NW04s SPS13.
Any hints/thoughts on that?
Kind regards and thanks,
Christoph

Hi Christoph,
When using ZCI Adobe forms, you dont need any activex installed on the client machine.
Below are the prerequisites for ZCI Adobe forms:
NetWeaver 7.0 SP09 or higher
NetWeaver 7.0 compatible Adobe Document Service (ADS)
Reader 8.1 higher
Adobe LiveCycle Desinger 7.1 patch level 1 or higher(Adobe LiveCycle Designer version "7, 1, 3129, 1, 296948")
Reward points if found helpful.

QR Codes using SAP Adobe forms

Hi,
We are printing QR code labels using SAP Adobe forms and using Zebra printers (Z4MPLUS, ZM400 ) for this. Size of the QR code that is being printed is small and we want that to be printed bigger than current size.
Could anyone help us on how to increase the QR code size? We have tried changing the module height and width in XML Source, but no luck.

Hi,
Does anyone have a solution for this ?
We have the same issue on ZM400 and GX430 Zebra labelprinters.
The QR barcode is printed very small on the label.
We changed ModuleHeight en ModuleWidth in de adobe xml source.
We changed the QRCode en CodeQR to "software" support in both XDC files : zpl203.xdc and zpl300.xdc.
However after changing the XDC file from "hardware" to "software" support, the QR barcode is not printed on the label.
Any suggestions ?
The QR code is displayed correctly in de Adobe LiveCycle Designer (with the correct size).
Thanks in advance.

Integrating Dynamic Adobe Form with BSP: SAP Objectives setting &Appraisal

Hi all,
My users ask me whether wecan use Adobe Form to replace SAP standard BSP appraisal form (generated by HAP_DOCUMENT).
I konw that it's possible to integrate Adobe Interactive form with BSP.
But my Adobe form must contain dynamic table, with ability to insert/delete row on the form. This is just like what's there when you can adding objectives by client scripting in SAP OSA.
Please tell me if the integration of dynamic Adobe form with BSP is possible?
(We are on ECC 6, EPH2).
Thank you so much.
