WebDynpro - Adobe interactive pdf attachments

I am creating an ABAP web dypro with a Adobe interactive form that also includes a workflow.  I am having an issue passing the attachments with the PDF source to the next workflow task. When I save the PDF source from the first web dynpro view and then re-load the pdf source conext with this data for the next view, the attachments are not with the PDF when it is opened.  Are the attachments stored with the PDF source in the context attribute? I have created a function that should list the attachments that I call before starting the workflow just to check but the attachments are not being returned, I am passing the pdf source context for the interactive form to the function module.
Thanks
Jim

  • Adobe Interactive PDF - Submit by mail directly without intermediate outlook window

    Hello,
    We are in a SAP 46c ECC6 upgrade, and we use Adobe interactive PDF for some ESS specific functionalities.
    We use also outlook.
    We have an interactive PDF with submit button (execute sendmail).
    When we click on it, an outlook window appears, and fields are correctly filled with our information (to; object; attachement), but we still have to CLICK on the outlook send button.
    Because the goal of this interactive PDF is partly to simplify the users actions, we want to avoid this last click step, and directly send the mail.
    Do you have any idea ?
    Thanks.

    Did you use this script in your button?

  • Can Adobe Interactive PDF consume a service that returns JSON?

    Can Adobe Interactive PDF consume a service that returns JSON? A few web sites seem to suggest it can:
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=functions_c-d_43.html
    http://blogs.adobe.com/acdc/2008/08/using_json_to_exchange_data_wi.html

    Its probably better to post this in the Form or Designer forum as those ones deal more with the capabilities of XFA based PDFs.  The Generator forum deals with the server software that converts documents to PDF.
    Having said that.
        You should be able to do it, but not directly. I don't believe that there is a way to map the JSON returned values to a field, as XFA pdf's generally support XML.  You may be able to put the returned JSON value into a single field and then write some code that would parse that value into the proper fields.

  • ABAP Webdynpro ADOBE interactive form

    Hi All,
    I have a problem when reading attachments from online adobe interactive form in Webdynpro ABAP.
    I have tried two options:
    Option1:
    Get FP reference.
    l_fp = cl_fp=>get_reference( ).
    try.
    Create PDF Object.
    l_pdfobj = l_fp->create_pdf_object( connection = 'ADS' ).
    Set document.
    l_pdfobj->set_document( pdfdata = lv_pdf ).
    Set task to get attachments.
    l_pdfobj->set_task_getattachments( ).
    Execute, call ADS.
    l_pdfobj->execute( ).
    Get result.
    l_attachments = l_pdfobj->get_attachments( ).
    CATCH cx_fp_runtime_system INTO exc.
    xslt_message = exc->get_text( ).
    ENDTRY.
    option 2: in wdomodify method
    DATA l_ifba TYPE REF TO cl_wd_interactive_form.
    l_ifba ?= view->get_element( 'IF_001' ).
    DATA l_form_method_handler TYPE REF TO IF_WD_IACTIVE_FORM_METHOD_HNDL.
    l_form_method_handler ?= l_ifba->_method_handler.
    DATA l_attachments TYPE tfpattachments.
    l_attachments = l_form_method_handler->get_attachments( ).
    Both options are not getting the attachments.
    Our SAP Netweaver version is 7 and ehp 4, ADS configured.
    If i save the pdf with attachments locally and then use the UI upload and read the attachments it works. But not when the interactive form is online and when i add attachments to it and click submit(where submit code is the option 1 code), it is not finding any attachments. I wonder whether pdfsource context stores the attachments or not.
    When i check the note, SAP say that attachments are supported from ehp2.
    What is that i am missing? Any direction would be good.
    In worst case i will do webdynpro screens for attachments maintenance, wanted to check with all experts before taking this option.
    Please someone answer.
    Thanks
    Anu

    >When i check the note, SAP say that attachments are supported from ehp2.
    That is correct.  Attachments are supported as of NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 2.
    >Our SAP Netweaver version is 7 and ehp 4, ADS configured.
    Not possible.  NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 4 doesn't even exist yet.  In fact 7.0 Enhancement Package 2 won't start ramp-up until December 20th. I think you are confusing your ERP Enhancement Package level with your NetWeaver Enhancement Package level.  I'm guessing that it is much more likely that you are on ERP 6.0 Enhancement Package 4.  This level of ERP actually runs on NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 1.

  • Webdynpro + Adobe Interactive Form + Web Service

    Hello Experts,
    Can you please provide me the useful solutions for the below mentioned issues.
    I created a Webdynpro with one view .Kept the adobe interactive form on the view by binding the structure with all my fields to the data source. And one webservice is linked to this form by keeping one submit button on the form. Iam sending the entire data filled on the form to the webservice as importing structure which is binded to the DATA SOURCE of the View in the Webdynpro. Now my questions are,
    1.Among these fields,i have a list box (can select multiple values from the list). Iam pasing the values to this list box from the Webdynpro with out changing the TYPE of field in the structure. But all the selected values of list box should be available in the web service. how is it possile?. The importing structure contains the TYPE of that field as a data element and not a TABLE TYPE.
    2. How to make the borders of the field in red color in run time. (like it comes for mandatory fields initially).
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Ram.

    Hi,
    But now, my doubt is "How to know the list of values selected in the list box to concatenate using scripting in th Adobe form it self? "
    For list box which is multiselect, when you say this.rawValue you get a arraylist, i believe separated by "\n" which mean newline on the form and separated by # when it reaches to SAP.
    And also, regarding border color. The suggested logic is not changing the color of the border of the field. Instead it is giving additional border in specified color. But, Is it not possible to change the actual border color instead of adding additional borders with other color
    You feel like aditional border because the field is an input type which has emboss effect to look, you can change the appearance of the file from palletes/windos>object>field-->appearance dropdown, just say it to none and alter the type field in Value tab from user entered optional to readonly you will see the difference.
    Let me know if this suffice you.
    Cheers,
    Sai

  • Abap Webdynpro & Adobe Interactive Forms : Refresh Context

    We created a Abap Webdynpro program to fill an Adobe interactive form. When we read the first time the data the form context is filled and displayed. When we read other data then the form is not refreshed. This is <u><b>only the case</b></u> when the form is enabled as interactive.
    When we use 2 views then everyting is ok. But we want to place the form in an Embedded View, then we have the same problem. Is this a know problem ?

    Hi,
    We faced a similar Issue. We could get past it by chaging the view property to "When Visible" for both the embedded view & Main view.
    Try & letme know if it works. We are trying to solve some other issues aroind this right now. Only the checkboxes dont get populated the second time we go to the view having Adobe form. Rest all data on form is refreshed. But not the Check Boxes.
    thanks,

  • Testing WebDynpro Adobe Interactive forms Using eCATT or any other testing

    Hi All,
    We are testing WebDynpro Adobe forms (Java). is there any methodology to test Interactive forms not normal webdynpro applications. Especially Interactive form with UI fields like dropdwons, datepickers dropdown values are from BAPI/RFC's  in these forms we will perfom actions like send data to backend and display PO created in onther view.
    once we repaly the test script all the drop down values are not updated this test scenario we tested with LR.
    Is there any procedure to test this scenario using eCATT or any other testing Tool.
    Rehards,
    Murali

    Hi Vara,
    You can develop Interactive forms using WD ABAP also.
    [E Learning- Interactive Forms using WD ABAP|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/media/uuid/c766e918-0b01-0010-99b1-c2b78cd059b3]
    WD Java is useful in case, when your ABAP system is less than ECC 6.0. Otherwise you can achieve same functionalities in WD ABAP also.
    Hope this will help you.

  • Can Adobe Interactive PDFs play sound from imported .swf files

    Hello.
    I'm really really stuck, can anyone help? I'm on 10.8.3 using In Design CS6
    I am trying to get an interactive PDF with imported .sfw files with sound to play ....the sound. Preview is fine in the working file - but as per the previous query on thishttp://forums.adobe.com/message/4772574 - The interactive PDF loses the sound. I tried installing ezPDF - but it's an app and I don't know how to install it to work (I think it's meant for  iPADs). So...does anyone know if I can have an imported .swf file play when exported to an Interactive PDF and also work on an end users PC?...should I be able to install ezPDF reader on my MAC and get everything working?
    Any help would be good as this is day 3 having called Adobe on Day 1 which was fruitless.
    Thanks

    Really hard to say without seeing the whole project, but my guess is that you have moved your exported SWF somewhere from it´s original location (where you exported it to) without moving Resources folder to same target location too... when you place video, audio or SWF to your layout, indesign does not embedd it to resulting SWF. Those files will be stored into a resources folder which always has to be at same root with exported SWF. Media files will be loaded dynamically from that folder at runtime.
    So you can guess what happens if that folder does not exist....

  • WEBDYNPRO ADOBE INTERACTIVE FORMS INTERNAL TABLE BINDING

    Hello Firends,
    I have created one table in the WebDynpro Program with Context NODE_RESULT having Cardinality 0...n in the View ADOBE_VIEW. In this view I have created the Interactive Form and specified the properties: data source as NODE_RESULT, Template Source as Z_XX_ADOBE_FORM.
    Also I have made an supply function for the context NODE_RESULT as GET_RESULT.
    In the Supply Function I have used the BAPI to fill the contents of Internal table (itab_data). And have binded the itab_data using node->bind_elements... (ALSO Tried node->bind_table...).
    Also I have coded the HANDLE_IN method.
    Here the point is that I can see the table in the interactive form layout and have successfuly binded all the elements and when  I have tested the form, the Adobe form is showing the blank table. i.e. it is showing up only the design of table, not the internal table values what I have binded.
    I have made every check like ADS is working fine as I can run the Interactive form through the ABAP program (i.e. through se38, where the form is allowing me to save the data in the PDF).
    Have installed the ACF.
    Also checked that the form is XML based schema and it Generated.
    Here everything is fine but I am unable to bind the internal table from webdynpro to Adobe Interative form.
    Friends plz help me in resolving this issue.
    Thanking You
    Regards
    Pradeep Goli

    Hi Vaibhav,
    Sorry for replying late.. I have done debugging on the node and found values are being populated to the internal table which i have created, and also as you said i have dragged the node and found the table icon is appearing and in form object pallette of that table the poperty of binding is "....[*]" is also creating but the vvalues are not being reflected to the PDF output.
    Also i have tried many approaches like first creating the form and then creating the webdynpro program and by linking the form to the wendunprro. But the result is same i.e. no values are being found in output.
    But i have a doubt that what are the system requirements to get this binding done properly. i.e. I am using Netweaver 2004 with SPS release 7 and Adobe 8 and ACF is being installed in the system. And also I can see the values if I am using the structure but the problem is with table. And I can work with the ABAP ADOBE where if I am coding using se38 and executing the values are excellently displaying in the PDF output(Similar case with interactive forms) Also ADS is properly configured.
    Is it compulsary to have SPS GREATER than 8 for NETWEAVER 2004.
    Please kindly help me in this regard. Thanking you at the earliest.

  • Reg: WebDynpro Adobe Interactive forms

    Hi Experts,
          I am using an application where i have 2 screens, First screen I have a button Create, when i click on Create a new window with interactive form opens where I have an Adobe form in Editable mode, here i need to enter data and save which gets saved in DB. I have a Save button and back button in this screen
          I am using Interactive form with displaytype as Native, Template Source as Custom developed one, whose interface is an XML Based interface and layout type is ZCI. The XML based Interface was generated with the Node in WebDynpro application.
          When i traverse to the screen with adobe form in editable mode and click save or back button, nothing happens, the internet explorer shows a wait status and nothin else happens. The whole process stands still with a image showing wait. Does Anyone have an idea why this problem has arised? I even tried to put a debugger in the code of save button but the problem is its not going to that part of code itself.
    Please help ASAP.
    Regards
    Naveen

    hi,
    If that is laready done, then you should check if the form is set to be of Dynamic Type.
    You can check that in Layout Tab. By accessing the menu option Edit->Form Properties.
    This wll display a window, in that click on Defaults tab , there make sure on the DropDown for XDP preview format, "Acrobat 7 (Dynamic) XML Type" or "Acrobat 8 (Dynamic) XML Type"  is selected.
    Hope this solves your problem.

  • How to read data fra adobe interactive pdf form into WDA context?

    Hi,
    I have a pdf form which is pre filled with some data and then the user has the opportunity to add some data to the pdf form.
    I want to retrieve this data into my context without having to add a button into the pdf form which will send back data to WDA. Currently i am using pdfSource but it is not updating the context.
    If needed i can change to use dataSource/templateSource instead of pdfSource.
    Thanks

    I don't think that link will help. The PDF Source isn't updating either on data entry into the form
    The issue here is that the Adobe form does not update the SAP context until you tell it to do so. You really need to trigger an event in the form to cause that update, a button as previously mentioned is one amongst many ways of doing this.

  • Can Mail send interactive PDF attachments with URL links?

    I have tried without success to send a PDF that has URL links embedded (made in InDesign CS3). When this mail arrives the links are stripped out from the attached PDF. I do not want to send html mail for this purpose.
    Anyone have any answers? Thanks.

    Jon,
    The strong probability is that a SPAM filter in the path to the recipient has stripped them out -- Mail would not cause this. Have you tried opening the PDF with Acrobat Pro, doing a Save As, and then attaching that version to see if the same behavior continues.

  • Licensing concerns for end users of Interactive PDFs

    The following is hypothetical...
    My Company has bought and has licensed some Adobe Creative Suite software in order to use LiveCycle Designer to produce Interactive PDFs for use by any type of Customer - internal to the Company or external to the Company.
    Once an Interactive PDF has been produced and then distributed out to the Customer, does the Customer need to have a license in place to use the PDF? Does the Company have to ensure the Customer has a License in place? Is the Company going against any particular License?
    Sorry to be vague but I guess the bottom line is what and who needs to be Licensed in order to use and/or distribute Adobe Interactive PDFs?
    Thanks,

    If the forms are just going to be distributed, filled in by Reader and the results submitted as a web form would be, there are no limitations... that's part of the value of PDF and the Adobe Reader.
    But if you take the form and reader-extend it with Acrobat Pro to allow local save of the filled-in form, there are licensing limitations. I recently covered this in another post, so I suggest looking there. If there are more questions, just post them to this thread.
