Background documentation Integrating Forms Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

PDF forms can be created and used for Web Dynpro user interfaces. For an efficient and straightforward development of the user interface, you can integrate the Adobe LiveCycle Designer tool with editor and the Adobe UI elements into the development workbench.

The following scenarios are available for Web Dynpro ABAP:

·        Print, offline, and display scenario

Here, unlike in the interactive scenario in this scenario it is not only interactive PDF forms that are used.

·        Interactive scenario

For this scenario interactive PDF forms are used.

The procedure for creating or using the relevant forms is largely the same for all scenarios.

For Adobe integration, the Adobe Library with the InteractiveForm interface element is provided in the Web Dynpro View Designer.

Prerequisites

·        SAP NetWeaver AS System with Adobe Document Services (ADS)

Details about installation and configuration can be found in the relevant guides on the SAP Service Marketplace under the quick link /installNW2004s.

·        Adobe Reader (>= 7.0) installed on your local computer Also see note 834573

 

A CAB file with the Active Components Framework (ACF) is provided centrally by the SAP NetWeaver AS. When interactive forms are called, an ACF wrapper is automatically loaded for the local Adobe Reader, which then enables interactive processing of the forms. The ACF is not required for displaying or printing.

Connection Test

Run program FP_PDF_TEST_00 to check that the ADS connection is working properly. The output of the test program is a version number.
