How to get the data from adobe form to database without(WDABAP).

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I am new to adobe forms. I have a requirement in Adobe forms. Please help me by providing your valuable solutions.

Our requirement : We have a class in which a method calls the Interactive Adobe form.We have one button in the Adobe form which needs to perform two actions                           at a time. (Button should perform both save and submit by Email actions)

                           If we provide data for the fields in the Adobe form and click on the button then the data should be updated in the Database and as well                                        sent as an attachment to the mail.

Is this possible without Webdynpro ? I have searched alot in SDN but getting solutions in Webdynpro. Please help me.

Thanks in Advance,

      Satheesh.

Hi Sateesh,

Yes this is possible

What all you need to do is create a webservice and use that on the click event of the adobe form.

Here you will need to perform two actions on one button so try this

1: on mouse down event of button send email and on click event of button perform send emial action.

Remember one thing you will need to write explicit java script to send email on the button event.

Hope it helps

Hi sateesh,

Creating webservice is as easy and there are lots of screenshots and tutorials available on internet.

Check this one for creating webservice and remember you will need to create a FM also so that webservice will be created for the same.

The FM should be having the required logic for updating the fields.

After that you will have to use this in the ALD

Check this thread where I have answered the same question

Another option is to add an http submit button (this could be hidden)

Your submit button could do an http submit followed by an e-mail + attachment.

You'd could then build a BSP to accept the form back.

This is a pre-delivered option with Forms Lifecycle Manager, so no need for custom development at all if you have that installed.
