adobe interactive form: Fields not fillable

[#1]

Hi,

I followed this fantastic e-learning session on [Send, Receive, and Process Interactive Forms via Email in SAP Application Server - ABAP (Session 4A)|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/elearn?rid=/library/uuid/5087262b-59ef-2910-abb1-957000b7c3d4].

I created a form and successfully sent it to my non-sap mail box. I opened the pdf attachment in acrobat reader and found input fields and a sendmail button as designed. But I could not use the input fields and the send button does not work.

Do I need additional software or maybe anything is wrong with my form?

Hi,

I think the problems doesn't comes from ADS credential because without it you won't be able to generate the forms.

I think that the problems comes from the code you wrote for generating the form, are you sure you set the form as "interactive" when you generate it ? Attribute FILLABLE must be set to 'X' in parameters SFPDOCPARAMS

Bonjour Bertrand,

my relevant code is

ls_sfpoutputparams-getpdf = 'X'.
  CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
    CHANGING
      ie_outputparams = ls_sfpoutputparams
    EXCEPTIONS
      cancel          = 1
      usage_error     = 2
      system_error    = 3
      internal_error  = 4
      OTHERS          = 5.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    ASSERT 1 = 2.
  ENDIF.
* create pdf
  DATA:
    fp_docparams     TYPE sfpdocparams,
    fp_result        TYPE fpformoutput,
    lv_pdf           TYPE xstring.
  fp_docparams-fillable = abap_true.
  fp_docparams-langu = sy-langu.

  CALL FUNCTION lv_funcname
    EXPORTING
      /1bcdbw/docparams  = fp_docparams
      co_head	           = ls_co_head
    IMPORTING
      /1bcdwb/formoutput = fp_result
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS             = 1.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    ASSERT 1 = 2.
  ENDIF.
  lv_pdf = fp_result-pdf.
* Close spool job.
  CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_CLOSE'
    EXCEPTIONS
      usage_error    = 1
      system_error   = 2
      internal_error = 3
      OTHERS         = 4.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    ASSERT 1 = 2.
  ENDIF.

I could not find anything to control if my form is generated "interactive", I just create in SFP and actiavte it.

I do not understand fully, what 'FP_JOB_OPEN' and 'FP_JOB_CLOSE' is good for - without 'FP_JOB_CLOSE' it runs as well.

Hi Clemens,

Your code seemd to be correct , have you check that in your layout you define your field as not read-only field ?

Which version of adobe reader do you use ?

If you don't use 'FP_JOB_CLOSED' you can get trouble if for example you want to print several forms because SAP will give you an error message telling that job is already open ....

Hi,

The best is to see the forms, can you send it by mail and i'll check in my system if it's works fine .

Hi,

I tried to add the country. no change.

When I use the adobe preview in SFP transaction, I can fill the form as planned.

Because I used a customer-specific structure filled with customer data, I can not send the form; actually I do't think this would help. In the form properties I can see that form filling is allowed, so may be the error is in the creation or sending of the pdf.

Any idea on how to proceed?

Regards,

Clemens
