Using adobe forms in SAP HR ABAP EHP7

Hi All,
I am aware that ADS is used in adobe forms display and designing, but I just wanted to know if we can use adobe forms just to display payslips in PDF as SAP releases HR forms only to be designed using Form builder and not smart forms which in turn can be designed by Adobe life cycle designer only.
Please recommend the method to use Adobe forms in ABAP stack if there is any possibility.

How to use Adobe forms in ABAP

Hello Everybody,
I have used Adobe forms in webdynpro applications. Now, i want to use adobe forms in ABAP stack. Please provide me steps and guidelines to develop Adobe forms in ABAP.
What should be the infrastructure needed for that?
Thanks in Advance,
Bhavik

Hi Bhavik,
there is extensive documentation on creating PDF-based forms for printing in ABAP Workbench (transaction SFP) on the SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d2/4a94696de6429cada345c12098b009/frameset.htm.
The infrastructure is identical (ADS on Java Engine) except that you need an ABAP backend (minimum 6.40) and the corresponding SAP GUI. You also need to create an HTTP connection from your ABAP system to the ADS in transaction SM59 (see ADS Configuration Guide).
Your Adobe LiveCycle Designer installation from the NWDS should be OK, if you are working on the same frontend. (If you have difficulties with Designer, uninstall it and install it with the SAP GUI again).
Note that Web Dynpro for ABAP integration is only supported as of NetWeaver 2004s (going into ramp-up with mySAP ERP 2005 this month), which means that interactive scenarios are more cumbersome to implement in ABAP with NetWeaver 04.
Some of the things you get with the Web Dynpro framework (such as the return of data in interactive scenarios via the WD context) would need to be manually coded when working in SFP, which was designed for output forms.
Hope this helps,

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.

Do you need the image to be a part of the file (ie, embedded on the page), or just as an attachment to it? The latter is easily done, the former not so much.
Either way it requires that the file be used in either Acrobat or Reader XI, though.

Using Adobe Forms to Print 1099Misc

In past years we were using SAP SCRIPT to print 1099misc and need to use something more current. We'd rather not use SMART FORMS but use Adobe Forms. When search in transaction code SFP I found interface GS_IDWTCERT_US_1099 and form IDWTCERT_US_1099MISC.
It appears that transaction codes S_P00_07000134 and S_PL0_09000134 use Smartforms processing.
Can anyone help me figure out how to the abobe interface and forms noted above to process 1099misc forms?
Regards,
Helen

Generally, if you have the fonts on your system, then the fonts should properly display. To embed the fonts on your system, you would again have to have the fonts on your system. It sounds like some fonts are being used that you do not have. You might try downloading the fonts you think might be the problem. Be careful, you have to have the precise font, not one that sounds correct. Even sometimes fonts with the same name are not really compatible. You should be able to select the text touch up tool (new name in AA X) and select some of the text and see what the font name is. Then you know what you should be looking for.

What's the business case for using adobe forms for handling print forms

Hi
We are just starting our SAP project and are looking at the possibility to use Adobe forms for generating and printing our forms, like purchase orders, invoices etc.
My Question is:
1. Is this possible / adviseable ?
2. if so - what's the business case in using Adobe forms - <i> We have been looking on the SAP Pricing for adobe interactive form, and in our point of view it's grotesque high</i>
3. What other options do we have - do we need to settle with SAP Script / Smartforms ?
Regards
Morten Nielsen

Hi Morten,
1. Is this possible / adviseable ?
As far I know SAP is going to stop support for SAPScript in coming years (I don't know exact dates). It is pretty much advisable to use Adobe Print Forms.
2. if so - what's the business case in using Adobe forms - We have been looking on the
SAP Pricing for adobe interactive form, and in our point of view it's grotesque high
We can use Adobe Print Forms where ever we can able to use SApscripts/PDF print Forms.
3. What other options do we have - do we need to settle with SAP Script / Smartforms ?
It is better to settle with Adobe forms rather than using SAPscript/Smart forms. One of the main reason for this is maintainance is much easier than SAPscript/Smart forms.
But remember that Java Stack need to be installed in order to use Adobe Forms.
Please visit the below SDN area on Adobe forms for more details.

Want to use Adobe forms departmentally. How many users per license?

How many people can use Adobe Forms per license/how many computers can we download software to?

Adobe FormsCentral is a web-based app so there is nothing to download - you access from the web browser.
Each users who creates forms needs a license of FormsCentral. In a month or so you'll be able to by a team pack (5,10,25) at reduces prices for a larger group who wants to create forms.

Hi Michelle ,
We are extremely sorry that you have had a bad experience with Adobe .
As far as your issue is concerned ,Acrobat generally prompts for internet connection as it is required to activate the product before you could use it comfortably .Once the product is activated or licensed you would be able to use the software offline .
This could be the possible reason you are experiencing this .Please check if you have done so and still facing this .And if you have not ,you need to license/activate your product by typing in your credentials ,i.e Adobe ID and password .
You could also refer the following link to get updated about the activation of your product .
