Workflow using ADOBE form

Hi All,
I have designed the ADOBE form for Material Master creation.
My business scenarion is that the user has initiated the request for material master creation would call the form using SAP GUI and fill in all the form details. He sends the form to concerned manager for approval.
Need help to know system method to find the approval manager for the said user using SAP R/3 workflow or CAF would be required.
Regards,

Hi Rajeev,
Based on the information you provided. i think you have to create a workflow which has to be triggered when master record is created.
Below is the points which can help you to proceed further.
1) when user fills the online ADOBE form and clicks on save/send. the request will be sent to application server.
2) in the application server you have to call the workflow by passing the key values which identifies the particular user who initiated the request.
3) the activity step in the workflow will find the approval manager of the initiator by passing the initiator values.
Please talk to any SAP-HR functional person , who can guide you in finding the hierarchy of the employee/ manager relationship. as it is mostly based on SAP-HR issue.
Hope it shall be useful
Regards
Santosh

Workflow trggering using adobe form...

Hello interactive form gurus,
I need some help related to adobe forms. We have a requirement when user fills up adobe form specially designed for material master. When he submits it a workflow needs to get trigerred. My questions are as follows:
1) Is it possible to trigger workflow by adobe form submission ?
2) Can we fill the adobe form offline and still trigger the workflow in SAP ?
Regards,
Rajesh.

Hi Rajesh,
From the broadness of your question this is definitely possible. In short a workflow can be triggered everytime an event is raised.
You are just looking at plug points when you can raise this event:
1. When the form is submitted online
2. When the form is stored
Maybe if you can provide more details the answer could be more specific.

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.

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.

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,

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.

I am trying to convert a PDF into a document that can be edited - it's a client feedback form. I am using Adobe forms Central and it's saying that it can't use my document.

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 .

Use Adobe forms for Dunning letters

Dear All,
We have a requirement to use dunning letters using Adobe Forms. I would like to know,
1. Is there a way we can attach adobe forms for dunning letters.
2. what could be the estimate do develop these letters using adobe forms.
3. Could I get some guidelines on the approach.
Thanks.

Hi Jonathan,
You're right, PDF is easier to use in comparison to SapScript.
If the SapScript is in use at this time, you should have no worries with PDF, where you can even import the official format.

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.

ECC 6.0 and using Adobe forms in Output

Hello,
We're moving to ECC 6.0.
Is there a driver program for Invoicing that would allow us to use adobe forms
as output from within S/D e.g. (from txn VF03 for a invoice).
Scenario:
We have a custom SAPScript invoice that we would like to consider rewriting as an Adobe form. I've created an equivalent Adobe form and now I'm investigating a way to integrate it with the standad Output Determination.
From txn SPRO, under Sales and Distribution>Basic Functions>Output Control>
   Output Determination>Maintain Output Detemination for Billing Documents>
   Maintain Output Types
   Select output type ZRD0
   Select processing routines from the left pane.
   There is a choice of selecting Smartform or PDF as the type.
   There is a smartforms driver program RLB_INVOICE.
Question:
   Is there an equivalent driver program or sample driver program for Adobe forms?
Regards,
Lavaughn

Hi,
Did you check in transaction SFP what are the form available in your system ?
Also , check in the standard print program if it has been adapt to use Adobe Forms instead of smartforms because it's not the same FM used .
