Hi Bhavani,

I have done some work in this area. If you can be precise as to what you are trying to achieve (please put some time into this - you get out what you put in) and I'll do my best to get you an answer.

Cheers,

Brad

Hi Bhavani,

for starters, have a look at the Adobe page here in SDN: https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/developerareas/was.sdn?page=AdobeForms.htm

It contains lots of useful information, documentation, and e-learning materials teaching you the basics.

Kind regards,

Markus

Hi Bhavani,

it looks like you're missing a vital component.

Acrobat won't really help you with the forms design. What you need is the Adobe LiveCycle Designer. You install it with the Developer Studio. If you don't, it cannot be launched when you want to design your form.

Also: For the runtime, ensure that you have installed the ACF and activated ActiveX components in IE (see also blog /people/achim.hauck/blog/2005/02/04/my-struggles-with-the-adobe-document-services-in-was640).

Hi Bhavani,

the ACF allows the integration of an interactive PDF form (opened in Adobe Reader) in a Web Dynpro application in the browser. For further information, please read SAP Note 766191.

Hi Bhavani,

how to insert a graphic in the Workbench is described in the SFP documentation: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/3c/a670692dbc494fb5416fdaa93ee1a9/frameset.htm

Also, once in Designer, read up about Graphics handling in the Designer documentation.

Hi Markus,

Now , I am able to upload logo to Interactive form.

Could you please tell me,What are the advatanges in seperating interface from Form (only reusability?).

What ADS,ACF will do at runtime?

Thanks in advance

Bhavani

Hi Bhavani,

I recommend you go to the Adobe page in SDN (https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/developerareas/was.sdn?page=AdobeForms.htm) and have a look at the TechEd recordings on Interactive Forms. This should clarify your questions as much as they can be answered.

The ADS is the run-time component, i.e. it generates the PDF files and extracts the data entered by the user.

The ACF makes it possible to display a PDF as part of a Web Dynpro application in a browser.

Reusability is the prime reason for separating the forms interface from the individual form.
