Interactive Adobe form without using Webdynpro ABAP

[Former Member]

We have a requirement that we need an adobe form on the ECC system as interactive.

1. User inputs a Transaction code.

2. Adobe interactive form open.

3. User fill all the data on the form.

4. Click on submit button.

5. Sucesssful message there.

Can this be done wihtout using Webdynpro ABAP.

You can use CAF (Composite Application Framework) and Visual Composer

Are you sure we need CAF/VC for this?

I'm pretty sure we can simply create a report and call FM FP_JOB_OPEN with IE_OUTPUTPARAMS-NODIALOG = abap_true and IE_OUTPUTPARAMS-PREVIEW = abap_true.

This would open the form on the screen (SAP GUI), then you can enter the data and push submit and process the data afterwards.

Hi Custodio,

That might be possible. I was just answering the question if WD is needed and mention some alternatives. In no way I try to say that those were the only alternatives.

I just happened to have followed the Netwaever BPM (=CAF) course at SAP and there we generated interactive forms with Adobe designer and also with VC.

Hi All,

     If I wasn't clear earlier. I need to have an interactive ADOBE form in my ECC system WITHOUT using WEBDYNPRO ABAP.

Thanks,

Hi Susmitha,

Again, I'm pretty sure you can achieve it the way I just said. I'd give you more details but don't have my system at this moment.

Hi susmitha,

     I dont think this is possible, an alternative can be making function module as web service and calling it in adobe or use webdynro for making it interactive.......

thanks and regards,

Hi susmitha,

       I have found something below from the below link

http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/SAP+Interactive+Forms+by+Adobe........plz let me know your final answer , if yes then how...........

How to retrieve filled in data from an Interactive Form?

• It depends if the interactive form is offline or online (web dynpro)
  • Offline :
    • The interactive form is either sent to the user by email, or downloaded by the user from a portal on his laptop
    • So, the user is (usually) not connected to SAP at the time he fills in data using Adobe Reader. Some interaction with the SAP system may still be achieved using Web Services.
    • When he has finished with the Adobe form, he sends it back to the SAP system, or he/any user connects to the SAP system and uploads the adobe form. A Java or ABAP program reads the form and extracts filled in data using Adobe Document Services.
  • Online :
    • The user displays and fills the interactive form via a Web Dynpro (which itself may be accessed via a portal or Web Application Server)
    • The Web Dynpro interacts with the Adobe form using the Context nodes and Bindings

Hi Susmitha,

After developing Adobe form in SFP. Can use below f.m in a custom report to call the adobe

1.FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME   - Pass the form name

2. FP_JOB_OPEN - Pass  the output parameters

3. call  executed number of adobe form  and pass

fp_docparams-fillable = p_ia. (Make the form Intractive )

4.Errors can be achieved in fm FP_GET_LAST_ADS_ERRSTR

5.FP_JOB_CLOSE - close the form.

pass the required message.
