Using Interactive Forms with Adobe 6.0

Hi
We have created an Interactive Form with Web Dynpro and Lifecycle 7.1. The PDF can be viewed with Adobe 6.0, but an error pops up, saying: "This PDF requires a newer version of Adobe Reader". Is it possible to switch off this warning?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best Regards
Bettina Hepp

Hi
Ok, it says in SAP Note 834573 that you cannot switch off this message.
Thanks for reading my post.

Using interactive forms with in IC web client

Hi,
I had requirement to implement the Adobe Interactive Forms (PDF) with in IC Web Client.
The requirement is to
1. Display an adobe interactive form (PDF) in the IC Web Client when a particular link is pressed.
2. Then the user has to enter the data and the data captured from the interactive PDF Form that should be processed by the ICWC.
An example of the process could be, having a PDF form to enter customer data and creating a Business Partner using the data from PDF.
I would like to know the possibility of such a scenario.
Form ICWC point of view; if we have URL that is points to a callable interactive form object then it can be trigged form ICWC.
This is an assumption and I am not sure that these kinds of objects are supported by ICWC frame work.
If we assume such a URL can be managed and if possibly shown in the ICWC UI, then the next question would be How to retrieve the entered data in the PDF Form as the ABAP data for the View in IC Web client to do the further processing?".
As I am short of options please provide me help if anybody know anything on this issue.
Best regards,
Balaji V

As of SAP NetWeaver 04 (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.

Can't open interactive form with adobe reader mobile version

Hello,
I have an interactive PDF document which I would like to open with my mobile phone (Android) and the adobe reader. If I open the document an error message appears.
Do we need to adjust the script to enable interactive forms also on mobile devices? The pdf document can be opend on my PC without issues.
Thank you

Hi,
Based on your description, I believe that the PDF Form that you are trying to open and fill out is an XFA form. Mobile Reader currently cannot display XFA forms.For these XFA PDF files, you will need to open them on your desktop Adobe Reader to read and fill the form.
Thanks,
Adobe Reader Team

Factors need for interactive forms by Adobe

Hi All,
Could anyone tell me the factors that would influence the efforts estimation and what are steps involved in during the development of interactive forms with Adobe.
Regards,
Sid

Hi Sid,
there is no simple answer to this question.
Here are a few pointers on what to consider:
- Depending on what you want to do, the development environment and your familiarity with it. The choice is there (Web Dynpro for Java and ABAP, transaction SFP for print forms, Guided Procedures, Internal Service Request, printing in BI), but how well do you know your way around the environment? (Don't forget, the form is only one small aspect of your application.)
- Complexity of the form, and thus the need to script in Adobe LiveCycle Designer
- Experience of the forms developer (SAP-internally we have seen differences of several factors)
A simple interactive form can be done in 1-2 days including testing. With print forms, things become more complex with a medium-complexity form (a table, some scripting for business logic) taking about 7 days.
<b>Most importantly</b>, please take this to heart:
- A PDF form does not and cannot replace a full-fledged application. Most people don't realize that a form is in essence not a lot more than a user's view on (i.e. interface with) the system. The business logic is in the system, and should be limited in the form.
- Of an overall business process using a PDF form, at most 20% is spent on forms development. The bulk of the work is the application (usually involving some sort of workflow) surrounding the form.
Hope this helps,

How to use Adobe Interactive forms with ISR frame work in Webdynpro forJava

Hi,
Anybody worked on Adobe Interactive forms with ISR frame work in Webdynpro for Java in ESS/MSS development.
We have already searched in ISR_Cookbook_2004, however we didn't anything related webdynpro for java in that.
Any information regarding this will be of great help.
Regards
Satish Kumar

There are a number of issues here. A form that you created with LiveCycle Designer (XFA) cannot be used with FormsCentral. An Acroform, the kind you can create with Acrobat, can be used with FormsCentral, with certain limitations, one of which is skip logic. A dynamic XFA form allows for this type of thing, but as mentioned, they don't work with FormsCentral. You can set up an Acroform to show/hide or activate/inactivate fields based on selections or entries made in other fields, but you'd have to set this up in Acrobat, not FormsCentral. So you can set up something roughly equivalent to a web form's skip logic, but you'd have to learn how to do this in Acrobat using JavaScript. There is a separate Acrobat JavaScript forum here if you have any questions.

Problem with Grouping in Interactive Forms by Adobe

Hey Guys!
I have a problem using the group function for a table in Interactive Forms by Adobe and I have not found a solution yet, so I hope anybody can help me.
I've created the table in the LiveCycle Designer using subforms and I want to use the group function for a specific field of my table. Now the problem is that the entries of the table are not shown grouped for the same values of my specific field but there is still one row for each entry. How do I have to edit binding, flow etc. for the subforms of a group?
I hope anybody can help me or provide me a better solution.
Thanks in advance.
Martin

Hi Otto,
thanks for your reply.
I'm sorry the 'grouping function' I've announced is called 'control levels' in English I can set this function for a field of a table in the context of the form in the transaction SFP in SAP. Then in the hierarchy the field is displayed above the group of the other fields of the table. Usually in the form this should lead to a 'grouping' for the specific field so if you have identical values there is just one entry in the form and all the rows that have this value should appear behind. My problem is that there is still one entry in the form for every row.
Right now I'm using the solution you mentioned with the nested tables but i have some problems with the layout and page breaks (pagination).
Thanks for your help.

Search Help on Adobe Interactive Form with Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi All,
I have created Adobe Interactive Form with ZCI type and XML based interface type using Webdynpro ABAP.
I placed a text field USER_NAME on the form ( data element is linked to search help USER_COMP ).
Added Native WD UI element 'Value Help' to form to search for users and changed script
*var fieldName = "INSERT_NAME_HERE*"; to var fieldName = "USER_NAME";
The problem is that when I click on the value help button, nothing happens.
Is any more additional steps required ?
Thanks

SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe with SAP CRM

Hello community,
I'm sure most of you would have seen the exciting videos showcasing the use of SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe with SAP CRM 2007 & SAP CRM 7.0. In case you haven't, you can find a couple of them [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d05bc7e9-0183-2a10-17ab-cf77195fcdec] and [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00fddbc0-e3c9-2b10-05b4-dd1aced4ad12].
What I would like to ask of the community here is to share some of the experiences and feedback regarding the use of SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe with different business processes in SAP CRM, be it order managemnt, activity management or business partner management. Any implementation examples would be great!
Thanks in advance!

Hi again
I solved the problem by installing the Adobe Designer 7.1.
Now my next problem is that I have no ADS (Adobe Document service).
That makes sense to my Adobe forms newbi brain. My guess is that the ADS must run on the JAVA stack and my testdrive is a ABAP stack only.
My next shot will be to install an JAVA testdrive on top of my ABAP testdrive and see what happens.

Adobe Interactive Forms with Browser Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement to implement HCM P&F using Adobe Interactive Forms. These Adobe Forms will be accessed using Browser Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox. I have come across that the Adobe Interactive Forms are not supported on these browsers. In the same regard I have also gone through the Product Availability Matrix by SAP which specifies that Forms are not support on these browser and neither SAP has future plans to support them.
PAM can be found on link: http://service.sap.com/pam
I would like to know from experts that if any of the project has successfully implemented Adobe Interactive Forms with browser Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox or
is there any solution which can make these forms work successfully on browser Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox.
Your early reply will be highly appreciated.
thanks
Manoj

Hello,
Mozilla Firefox is supported for Adobe Interactive Forms on Windows operation system.
Unfortunatelly we do not have support for Mac OS and Safari browser.
Please re-check the PAM.
Best regards,

F4 Value Help on Adobe Interactive Form with Web Dynpro ABAP

Hello,
I have created an Interactive Form with ZCI type.
I placed a text field MATNR on the form.
Then I placed a Native WD UI element 'Value Help' as mentioned in the below link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/42/fb2fe500553ee4e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
This form was then embeded into Web Dynpro ABAP view.
The problem is that when I click on the F4 button, nothing happens.
Is anything else needs to be done?
Thanks
Sagar

Hi Amol,
After binding the Context variable in the view, and in the Adobe Layout Designer from the Library go to WebDynpro Native Tab and drag and drop the Value Help and for this automatically JavaScript is being generated, go that script and edit the line
Var fieldname = "yourfieldname";
Note: Don't forget to link the context attribute to search help. ie. in the context properties of the attributes select the input help mode as dictionary search help and specify the name of the search help present in data dictionary.
And now go to Utilities and click on u201CInsert Web Dynpro Scriptu201D.
Also make sure that you specify the Layout as ZCI Layout in the Propertioes of the Adobe Form.
Ragards,
Amol Patil.
