Adobe Interactive Forms Set Fillable through SFP

Former Member — Tue, 07 Apr 2015 14:56:05 GMT

Hello Gurus,

I have a question regarding adobe interactive forms. I have created an interface and form in transaction SFP. The form is being called as an email attachment during an issue creation. What i want to do is set the form fillable in the import structure /1BCDWB/DOCPARAMS. I tried to do this through the code initialization in the interface but it does not set the form fillable. I have no other code interaction with the from besides in the code initialization section of the interface. Is there a straight forward way to set it fillable? Thanks.

Hello Timothy

You must be generating the PDF and emailing it as an attachment in background in your program.

Refer to code below, It should work


* get the name of the generated function module
   try.
       call function 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
         exporting
           i_name     = 'DEMO_ADOBE_OFFLINE'
         importing
           e_funcname = fm_name.
     catch cx_fp_api.
       assert 1 = 2.
   endtry.

 * set output parameters and open spool job
   fp_outputparams-preview  = 'X'.    " do not launch print preview
   fp_outputparams-nodialog = 'X'.    " suppress print dialog
   fp_outputparams-connection = cl_fp=>get_ads_connection( ).
   fp_outputparams-getpdf   = 'X'.

   call function 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
     changing
       ie_outputparams = fp_outputparams
     exceptions
       cancel          = 1
       usage_error     = 2
       system_error    = 3
       internal_error  = 4
       others          = 5.
   assert sy-subrc = 0.

 * set the form to be editable
* Try to set fp_docparams- FILLABLE = 'F' instead of fp_docparams- FILLABLE = 'X'

  
 fp_docparams-fillable = 'F'.

 * call the generated function module to generate the pdf
   call function fm_name
     exporting
       /1bcdwb/docparams  = fp_docparams
       /1bcdwb/docxml     = xml
     importing
       /1bcdwb/formoutput = fp_result
     exceptions
       usage_error        = 1
       system_error       = 2
       internal_error     = 3
       others             = 4.
   assert sy-subrc = 0.

 * close spool job
   call function 'FP_JOB_CLOSE'
 *   IMPORTING
 *     E_RESULT             =
     exceptions
       usage_error          = 1
       system_error         = 2
       internal_error       = 3
others               = 4.

Regards

Sandy

Hello Sandy,

Thank you very much for the reply. Could you tell me where i can run this code? The background job that is currently calling the form is standard SAP function and automatically set fillable to blank. Should I create an enhancement? Thanks again.

Hello Timothy,

If you are using a Standard background job, then you can create implicit enhancement to set parameter fp_docparams- FILLABLE = 'F'
