Using WF_EXTSRV for changing PDF Interactive form

Hai,
I'am trying to use transaction WF_EXTSRV to generate a task which can be used within the UWL from the portal. The main purpose of this task is to show an exsisting PDF form in change mode. I allready found some nice information from SDN, but not enough to make it all work. I still have still these questions:
1) How must I setup the required fields within transaction WF_EXTSRV when I want to generate for example this url:
http://abc.abc.nl:51800/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/pcui_gp~isr/IsrForm?SCENARIO=SPEG&MODE=CHANGE&NOTIF_NO=000600000003
2) How must a then setup transaction SWFVISU? Which apllication and package name.
I hope some can help me.
Greetings,
Remco

Hi Patrick,
Let me see if I understand your query properly first. Your requirement is that you have a PDF file which is pretty much fixed.
Now you want to use the Template present in the PDF file to be shown to the user, but this should be pre-filled with data that you receive from a Web Service & RFC.
Now firstly I will mention the easy way, which would require you extract the PDF Template statically, I am not sure if the API has now been released to do that programatically.
Now, lets say you store it is some location the template file, you would also need to tweak the DataBinding properties in the Template to match to that of the Context Node you will use in the application.
Now in the ModifyView method you should get a reference to the Interactive form element, use the setTemplateSource method to refer to your template.
Now based on the response from your RFC/WebService create the appropriate attributes into the node, and your form should work fine.

Pavan

Changing the default file name while saving the PDF interactive form

Hi All,
I am generating an Interactive PDF form using webdynpro, but when I try to save the PDF to my local machine the default file name comes as "unknown.pdf" so I have to manually go and enter the name before saving it.
Is there any way to change this default name so that I don't have to manually edit the file name each time when I want to save the generated PDF interactive form?
Please reply soon.
Thanks in advance!

I am running into the same issue. Setting the desname parameter (e.g. desname=temp.pdf) doesn't have any effect. Has anyone found a solution to this?
Thanks,
Brian

Urgent :how to edit a pdf (interactive form)

Dear Expert,
i have a web dynpro application where in need to increase the length of a table in pdf (interactive form ) how can i do this .

Yes, there are a number of things you can do. With JavaScript, you can show/hide fields, set fields to read-only, set the focus to a field (thus bypassing sections or pages), etc. So you can implement a type of skip logic, it's just not as easy to set up as with a form created in FormsCentral. Still, there are techniques you can use to simplify things, particularly using heirarchical field names which makes it easier to control a group a fields.
The following rudimentary sample demonstrates some of what's possible: https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=It35dD4zaX5QM--Pv36F-Q
Based on the selected item on the dropdown, the background changes and certain fields are activated. There are only two fields associated with a particular selection, but it could be as many as you want on as many pages as you want. You can implement a multisection form using a single PDF page this way.

How do I restore IE to use Reader for displaying PDF files?

When I updated PDF Creator, it also updated PDF Architect which went and installed itself in IE as the PDF reader. How do I change IE back to using Reader for displaying PDFs?
In IE, I disabled the "PDF Architect Internet Explorer Previewer" under "Manage Addons". Now, IE doesn't display PDFs at all. I also looked in Change PC Settings | Search and Apps | Defaults and Reader is still the
listed as the default app for .PDF files.
The version of Windows on this machine is Windows 8.1 with IE 11.
Thanks,
Richard

first please make sure reader app still there, try to search using keyword "reader"
If still there, to set reader app as default
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/reader-app-faq
If PDF, XPS, or TIFF files are opening in another app, you can tell Windows to use Reader instead. Here's how:
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Settings.
(If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, and then click
Settings.)
Tap or click Change PC settings.
Tap or click Search and apps, and then tap or click Defaults.
Tap or click Choose default apps by file type (you might need to scroll down to the bottom of the screen to see this option).
Under Name, scroll down until you see .pdf.
Tap or click the name of the app that appears to the right of .pdf, and then under
Choose an app, tap or click Reader.
Repeat this for each type of file that you want to open in Reader (for example, .oxps, .xps, or .tiff).
If not there, or you accidently remove it, try to download here

PDF interactive form font issue

When I export my InDesign doc to a pdf interactive form, some of my fonts get bolded. This does not occur when saving as a pdf print doc. How do I create an interactive pdf without the text becoming bolded?

The bolded text appears show up only on text-only pages. The text on pages with tables and images remain unbolded. Any ideas why this may be happening?

Can I Use dbDatasource for a Business One Form

Hi,
I have to update the sales order items grid from a user defined add on form. I am using dbDatasorce for my user defined form. to fill the grid, but i am unable to create dbdatasource for the sales order form.
Can any one help me plzzzzzzzz.

hi, you can not create a dbdatasource for the system form.
For this you can create column objects and assign them to the sales order matrix and you can update the matrix with those column objects.
SAPbouiCOM.Column oColumn1 = null;
SAPbouiCOM.Column oColumn2 = null;
SAPbouiCOM.Item oItem = null;
SAPbouiCOM.Matrix oM = null;
SAPbouiCOM.EditText oEdit1 = null;
SAPbouiCOM.EditText oEdit2 = null;
oItem = oForm1.Items.Item("38");
oM = (SAPbouiCOM.Matrix)oItem.Specific;
oColumn1 = oM.Columns.Item("1");
oColumn2 = oM.Columns.Item("11");
for (int j = 0; j < DBTable.Rows.Count; j++)
oEdit1 = (SAPbouiCOM.EditText)oColumn1.Cells.Item(oM.RowCount).Specific;
oEdit1 .Value = DBTable.GetValue("U_ItemCode", j).ToString();
oEdit2 = (SAPbouiCOM.EditText)oColumn2.Cells.Item(oM.RowCount).Specific;
oEdit2 .Value = DBTable.GetValue("U_ItemDes", j).ToString();
Try this one...

PDF Interactive Form

I'd like to know whichi program best suited for interactive PDF forms which can get its information from a SQL database.
For example on the form the line that state "Customer's Name" is written and that customer name can be drawn from a database whichi i'd link for the user to choose from.
If you do know whichi program best suited for what i need please state it and if possible state the guide that will help me link the interactive form to an existing database, preferably SQL.

To connect directly to a database from a PDF form, it would be easiest to create an XFA form using Adobe's LiveCycle Designer, which came with Acrobat Pro prior to Acrobat 11 and is currently available as a separate product. If you have more questions, the LiveCycle Designer forum is a good place to ask: http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_modules_and_development_tools/livecy cle_designer_es?view=all

Changing Adobe Interactive Form Layout When Archiving

We are using the adobe interactive forms (adobe liveCycle designer) to create forms for outgoing paper checks. Because of security risks with reprinting checks, it is necessary to change the output of the checks when they are archived (writing 'VOID' over the check), while the form created in the print spool remains unchanged. Is there a way to create dynamic fields on the interactive form based on when the form is being archived? We are using the archiveLink functionality with an external optical storage app. I know there is the possibilty to run the printing and the archiving process separately, using different form layouts, however, reconciliation becomes and issue and I would like to run both printing and archiving together in the same mass activity.

Hi Brian,
I have a requirement where I just need to Archive Adobe form in External repository.
Since you are using the archiveLink functionality with an external optical storage app
Can you please help me how you did?? What configurations need to be maintained for this?
I am new to this. I did some Rnd on it and found that it can be achieved using HRFORM_HRF02 Business Add-In in the SET_ARCHIVE_INDEX method.
But I have no clue how to do it?
Can you please help me?

Unable to save changes to Interactive form

Hi All
       I am designing an Interactive form in the WD Java application. This form is in DC which belongs to TRACK1.
      After making changes to the form I try to save the changes by clicking "Save All Metadata" but that has no effect. when i close the form and reopen it, the all changes made are gone.
      From some threads i got that Interactive form should not be kept blank. But even after assigning all the attributes to Form I am unable to save the changes to PDF.
      While as changes made to PDF in another DC belonging to TRACK2 are getting saved.
      Does that mean the track in perticular has to be given some perticular authorization? or does that depend on authoriztions of userid which created the track?
Please help me in resolving this issue
Deepak Salokhe

Hi Amita
actually when i tried to modify the XDP file, i found that for all DCs in that particular track no XDP file has been generated. also that the templateSource property of the InteractiveForm UI Element is blank while as it should point to the template on file system.
i checked the SAPNote 822198 as suggested on this thread Link: [Adobe Document Server issues - cannot save metadata of interactive form UI; but it has not solved my issue.
can you please suggest wat the issue might be??

Enable Track Changes on Interactive Form

Hi,
I have an interactive form that I designed in LiveCycle Designer 8. I've set the distribution rights using Acrobat Pro to enable my Reader users to fill out the form.
When the completed form is returned I would like to add sticky notes and text edits using Pro, but Acrobat restricts the use of markup tools to static PDF documents.
Does anyone know how to allow the use of markup tools on interactive documents?
Thanks!
Andi

AFAIK, you can't.
Sorry.
