What are the technical prerequisites to use Adobe Forms in SAP

  • Configuration
    • SAP NetWeaver 6.40
    • Java Stack installed
    • Adobe Document Services (ADS) installed on the Java Stack
    • If using ABAP, RFC communication must be established between ABAP and Java stacks
  • Developers
    • Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.1 is installed on your machine ( Desktop / Laptop)
    • Adobe Reader 7.* is installed
    • SAP GUI (see Note 864634)
      • 620 Patch level 56 or higher
      • 640 Patch level 12 or higher
      • 710 any patch level
  • Users
    • Adobe Reader 7.*

How to retrieve filled in data from an Interactive Form?

depends if the interactive form is offline or online (web dynpro)
  • Offline :
    • The interactive form is either sent to the user by email, or downloaded by the user from a portal on his laptop
    • So, the user is (usually) not connected to SAP at the time he fills in data using Adobe Reader. Some interaction with the SAP system may still be achieved using Web Services.
    • When he has finished with the Adobe form, he sends it back to the SAP system, or he/any user connects to the SAP system and uploads the adobe form. A Java or ABAP program reads the form and extracts filled in data using Adobe Document Services.
  • Online :
    • The user displays and fills the interactive form via a Web Dynpro (which itself may be accessed via a portal or Web Application Server)
    • The Web Dynpro interacts with the Adobe form using the Context nodes and Bindings

What are the steps to develop an Adobe Form on ABAP stack?

  • Start transaction code SFP, create an interface
  • With this same transaction, create the Adobe Form
  • From your ABAP, call the interactive form as follows (see also SAP Library - PDF-Based Forms - Calling Forms in an Application Program, which contains an example)
    1. Data retrieval and processing : SELECT ... FROM ... etc.
    2. Find out name of generated function module from the Adobe form name : CALL FUNCTION 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' ...
    3. Start form processing : CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN' ...
    4. Call function module dynamically: CALL FUNCTION <generated function module> ...
    5. End form processing : CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_CLOSE' ...

NOTE
 Column and Row are colored with a coded color ‘Cxyz’.

    Where C: Color (coding must begin with C)

                 X: Color Number

                 Y: Bold

                 Z: Inverse.
 The Selection Screen will be as follows. 
     
In the Selection screen if we enter only the Column Number and color the whole column will be colored as follows.

 
In the Selection screen if we enter only the row Number and color, the whole column will be colored as follows.
   
 In the Selection screen if we enter both the Row number and the Column Number then that particular cell will be colored as follows (this color is not picked from selection screen, it is already written in the program itself) 

SAP ALV row colour change and making each individual row a different color

The follow program demonstrates how to change the colour of individual rows of an ALV grid. Changes required from a basic ALV grid include adding a new field to ALV grid data table(it_ekko), Populating this field with color attribute and adding an entry to layout control table.

Change colour of individual SAP ALV cells within an ALV grid report

The below abap program shows how to change the colour of individual ALV cells /fields. Only a small number of changes are required from a basic ALV grid which include adding a new field to ALV data declaration table(it_ekko), populating this field with the field name identifier and colour attributes and finally adding an entry to layout control work area. These changes are highlighted in bold below.

How can we display multiple alv's without using containers?


You can use blocked alv to achieve this.

How many blocks can create in a ALV BLOCK LIST in ABAP

Yes u can append max 19 block:
The fm REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_APPEND has the exception MAXIMUM_OF_APPENDS_REACHED, it will be triggered as soon as the max (19) will be reached

Suppose in an ALV report in grid we have to disply matnr, ernam,ebeln,ebelp etc. 
But when we bring the cursor on that specified field, it will show "material number" for matnr, 
"purchase Document Number" for ebeln etc. how do you achieve this? 
By Using Fieldcat-Seltext_m
