Doubt when launching an AdobeForm object in a Webdynpro Abap.

[Former Member]

Hi Experts!

I built a simply Webdynpro with an "ADOBE FORM" object. The Form, is also quite simple (at the moment).

But I am having a trouble when the Form is launched. I only can see its Fields as a "READ ONLY". It is not possible to modify anything there.

Here, I describe the steps that I follow.

I create a very simple WebDynpro application. In its WD View, exist an unique Object (Adobe Interactive Form).

In that object, I set the properties:

"Data source": a context variable type "my structure". "My structure", is a simple structure with a couple or three fields, let´s say PERNR, BUKRS, WERKS... It is linked to the Form Interface (ABAP DICTIONARY-BASED INTERFACE). So in this way, the link between my WD and the AdobeInt.Form is working.

"PDF Source": a Context variable type XSTRING.

"Template Source": here I have set my Int.Form. Currently, it only contains a couple of fields

"Enabled": True.

"Read Only": False.

In the AdobeForm, I have draged & droped those 2 or 3 fields, save it, and activate it. I guess nothing more is needed for my test.

And at last, in the View´s method WDDOINIT, I am reading one of those fields, let´s say the employee number (PERNR), and I set by hardcoding its number (let´s say -> 00000001).

Until here, everything seems to work fine. When I launch the WD test, the Adobeform appears, at the moment, with only one of my fields (Employee - PERNR), and its value is filled in with '00000001'.

But now, I would like to write something by myself. And when I try to do it, it is not possible! Field PERNR, is displayed as a "READ ONLY".

Does someone knows what is happening here? I have seen in an exemple called "WDR_TEST_ADOBE" that it must be posible to have "OPEN FIELDS" in the adobeform...

Am I doing anything wrong? Or am I doing any mistake?

Thank you very much in advance

Hi Bret,

check out if you are using Acrobat Reader 8.1

If so, you must use Acrobat Editor 8.1 in order to change the fields

In my case, I solved the issue by using the Editor.

Hi Paulo Cesar!

No, We are using Acrobat Reader version 11.0.

Thanks for your answer.

Finally I think I have found the problem.

In the View where I am printing the ADOBEFORM, it is needed this code under the method WDDOMODIFYVIEW.

method WDDOMODIFYVIEW .

  DATA: LV_INTERACTIVE_FORM   TYPE REF TO CL_WD_INTERACTIVE_FORM,
             LV_METHOD_HANDLER     TYPE REF TO IF_WD_IACTIVE_FORM_METHOD_HNDL.


  LV_INTERACTIVE_FORM ?= VIEW->GET_ELEMENT( 'INT_FORM' ). "   adobeform object in view

  IF LV_INTERACTIVE_FORM IS NOT INITIAL.

      LV_METHOD_HANDLER ?= LV_INTERACTIVE_FORM->_METHOD_HANDLER.
      LV_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_LEGACY_EDITING_ENABLED( ABAP_TRUE ).
      LV_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_HIDE_NAVIGATION_PANEL( ABAP_TRUE ).
      LV_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_DISABLE_PRINT_BUTTON( ABAP_TRUE ).

      WD_THIS->M_METHOD_HANDLER ?= LV_INTERACTIVE_FORM->_METHOD_HANDLER.
      WD_THIS->M_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_HIDE_TOOLBARS( ABAP_TRUE ).

    ENDIF.

endmethod.
