[Former Member]

Hello.

I want to use Adobe Interactive forms as batch processing.

For instances,

1. Users download offline PDF files.

2. Users inputs data on their local PCs.

3. Users upload these PDF files in one folder.

4. Program can read data form PDF files on that folder. and put data to ERP at night.

I' d like to know how to implement a program with Java or ABAP.

Regards.

Hi,

It's possible to do it but first be sure that the SAP system can read the directory while your program is executed in background .

Then you have to read the content of the directory and process each file you found.

Look at this standard ABAP object cl_gui_frontend_services , you will find method for browsing a directory and retrieve list of file .

Afterwards you have to process each file , for this have a look at this wiki code sample i wrote for processing inbound mail with adobe interactive form, it should help you [Sample Code for processing Inbound Mail with Adobe Interactive Forms|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/snippets/sampleCodeforprocessingInboundMailwithAdobeInteractive+Forms]

Hope this help you .

Best regards.
