When an Adobe Form is returned, the information is hidden...

I created the form in Acrobat Pro 9 on Windows Vista, and when some of the users send the completed form back to me, the information is only visible when I click on the form field, and my cursor is in the form field. But the information doesn't show when I'm viewing or when I print. How can I simplify this process so that users can't mess with the form and can only enter the information as requested? I find it odd that it doesn't happen all of the time, just for some users.
Also, some have reported that the form isn't fillable in Adobe Reader, while others have had no issues completing it in Adobe Reader.

Are you very sure they are using Reader and not the MacIntosh Preview application.?
This is known problem caused by Mac Preview and the users believe they are using Reader and not realizing they have the PDF opened in Preview. Script to Fix Mac OSX Preview.app Form Fill and Save by Joel Geraci

Hello. I have adobe forms and received the alert that it will be ending in July. Then I received an email about Adobe Acrobat XI Pro which can create forms. I signed up for the free trial and when I began to make a new form it brings me back to Adobe Form

Hello. I have adobe forms and received the alert that it will be ending in July. Then I received an email about Adobe Acrobat XI Pro which can create forms. I signed up for the free trial and when I began to make a new form it brings me back to Adobe Forms. My question is, when Adobe Forms ends on July 28th will Adobe Acrobat XI Pro be able to create forms or will it now? and if not, then why is adobe advertising for it still?

What you're calling "Adobe Forms" is really Adobe FormsCentral. The FormsCentral service is indeed going away soon, but you can always create PDF forms (AcroForms) with Acrobat. Acrobat also comes with a desktop version of the FormsCentral desiger, which can be used to create simple PDF forms that can be used apart from the FormsCentral service. So you'll no longer be able to create and host web forms with the FormsCentral service or use PDF forms with the FormsCentral service. You will be able to create standalone PDF forms with Acrobat and simple PDF forms with the FormsCentral desktop app.

Name of the creator missing when archiving Adobe Form

Hey,
i have an problem when i archiving an adobe form after printing. I miss the name of the creator but i cannot find the arc_params like i find them when i'm printing with sap script.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Alex

Hi,
Saving the PDF to a set name is considered a security concern by Adobe. In order to achieve it you would need a trusted function, inside a JavaScript file. This .js file would be in a set folder on EVERYONE'S computer. This makes it difficult to deploy and maintain.
See a thread here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2266799#2266799.
Hope that helps,

Error when connecting Adobe Form with PayPal

We are trying to integrate an Adobe Form into a PayPal purchase so that after a customer has purchased something, they are directed to a form to enter some personlization information. However, it seems that the link is getting changed in the process as you get this message when you click on the redirect link: an error has occurred.
The form does not exist. Please re-enter the web address as the link may be misspelled.
The form exists and this is the link: https://adobeformscentral.com/?f=EL-oB4MmM1PfLdRv4RBmEQ
It works fine when used alone but we really need it to work in combination with the PayPal. It is for the purchase of pawprint ornaments and can be found at http://www.humanesocietyofmarlboro.org/
Pleae let us know how we can get this resolved. We need it working ASAP.
Thanks,
Terasa

Hi;
Where is it that you have a re-direct link to the form from that Paypal purchase process? I would double check that you copy/paste the entire link properly and look at the re-direct to make sure it is going to the entire URL and not modifying it or stripping part of it.
Are you aware that you can do the Paypal payment process through the FormsCentral form? https://www.acrobat.com/formscentral/en/video-index/paypal-integration-setup.html
Thanks,
Josh

Hi,
Debasish is right. You have to install and configure credentials before you can use Adobe Interactive Forms. Check SAP Library section <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/6e/8e22fad84440629b4385748e22b8a0/frameset.htm">Installing and Configuring Credentials</a> for detailed information.

Convert numeric in words in adobe forms (start with the currency)

Hi to all,
Below script i found here for converting numeric into words and its work perfectly. Just I edit in UAE currency.
It is possible to move the dirhams (currency) in front like. 1,900,000.55 = Dirhams One Million Nine Hundred Thousand and Fifty Five fils Only. (with period)
or 1,900,085.55 = Dirhams One Million Nine Hundred Thousand Eight Five and Fifty Five fils.
Previous code was One Million Nine Hundred Thousand Eighty-Five Dirhams and Fifty-Five Fils
Thanks in advance

Hi RK,
We had a similar requirement and we used Web Dynpro for Java which contained the Interactive Form that would display the personnel area, personnel sub area, etc.
We developed a custom application in WD Java which would accept entries from the user on each screen after clicking on the Change Personnel area link in the portal. The user would put in the values and when the user would click on the Submit button, an adobe form would be displyed which would show the existing values as well as the values the user newly entered.
Hope this helps. Do let me know if you need any further inputs.

Error when starting Adobe Form

I have an Adobe Form which works Ok in the development SAP Portal, but that, when I log in the production portal gives the following error:
Error when reinitializing the form (I guess, it's Error al reinicializar el formulario, in Spanish)
I think maybe there is something missing to transport, or some misconfiguration, but I haven't been able so far to find it...
Can someone give me a hand?
Thank you in advance,
S.

Hi,
Can you tell me when does the error message comes? Does it comes when you are trying to open the Form or when you are trying to execute it.
Please check if it is still working in the development box?

Hello,
Hello, are you sure you have your ADS credentials configured correctly and valid? I guess you know that is the only difference between clicking enabled on true or false. If you are not sure, you can use SE38, search for FP_* and pick some reports to check the licencing. The names of the reports are good enough to recognize the right one.
Or maybe that is a security problem? Have you checked the ADS_ERROR string? Did you use the ADS trace?

Error when create adobe form

Hi,
When i created adobe form, i found an error :
Could not start Layout Designer (see long text)
Message no. FPUIFB086
Diagnosis
The forms design tool for developing the form layout could not be started; either it is not installed or there are errors in the installation.
Procedure
Make sure that you have the forms design tool installed on your desktop (the tool is part of the SAPGUI installation).
Also read SAP Note 801524.
In my computer Adobe Life Cycle Designer 8.0 installed, why it happen?
Please help me.
Thank you.

Good to know — there is no such application as "Adobe XI".
"Adobe" is the name of the company.
"XI" is indicative of the use of either Acrobat XI or Reader XI.
Neither Acrobat XI Pro (for which Adobe provides a free, fully functional 30-day trial) nor Adobe Reader XI (the free to download and use PDF viewer that Adobe provides) have an "Export PDF" entry under "File".
"Export PDF" only is present in Adobe Reader XI over on the right on the "Tools" panel.
The "Tools" panel provides a way for a user of Adobe Reader XI to connect to various By Subscription online services (gotta pay eh).
Export PDF is one of these. A subscription lets you send a PDF file to the online internet service (aka "cloud" service). The service then exports to a supported file format (Word / Excel / ...) and the user selects / directs where the output file is to be saved on the user's local machine.
Of course to use any of the online subscription services one must have an active (paid up in full) subscription to the service.
So ---- As described the puzzle pieces don't fit eh.
What specific Adobe (the company) applications are you using?
Acrobat XI Pro? Adobe Reader XI? Both?
Be well....

Access the adobe form data in the workflow container for further processin

HI,
I am using HCM processes and Forms. I need to access the form data in the workflow container once the workflow kicks off.
I need to access these data as would need it for further processing in the workflow.
I know that TS17900110 allows to import form conatiner to
-> WF Container in the field name and value pair. But I need to access a lot more fields than what is in the task. Is there a standard task which allow to retrieve all the fields in the form in one task or do I need to develope a custom class to do that. If so could you please provide some clue as in how to code this specific requirement as i am somewhat new to OO ABAP.
Thanks...

hi,
in the livecycle designer under libary tab u have webdynpro tab--->choose submit to sap button and place it in the adobe form ur designing. u can use this button to trigger the code that u have written in webdynpro java.
for eg if u have
a value node details
and under that two value attr fname,lname
import the model (Insertdata---it has two import param fname and lname)u need for updating the data to r3 system.
in the ctrller have a method submit.Here write the code to insert fname and lname into the db.
IPrivateMyForm.IDetailsElement elem = wdContext.nodeDetails().currentDetailsElement();
Insertdata_Input input = new Insertdata_Input();
wdContext.nodeInsertdata_Input().bind(input);
input.setFname(elem.getFname());
input.setLname(elem.getLname());
try
wdContext.currentInsertdata_InputElement().modelObject().execute();
wdContext.nodeOutput().invalidate();
catch (Exception ex)
{ ex.printStackTrace();}
ul bind details to the datasource.
when u edit ur interactive ui element these attr(fname and lname) vl be visible under dataview tab u can drag and drop them to the form
now add submit to sap button in ur form.
this button correspond to the onactionSubmit dat u have written in the ctrller.
so wen u click this the data vl be inserted
