Creating Interface For Adobe Forms

 

• We will take the same to same requirement as we had in our Smartform.

• We will develop a Adobe Form for Employee Details, where our Employee Table is Header table and Project Details is Item Table.

  
  
  

  
  

  
  
  

  
  

  Note :-

  • For Creating any Adobe Form, It is mandatory to create a Interface first.

Solution :-

• Step 1 :- Go to SFP transaction code and give any name for Adobe Form

  
  
  

  
  

• Step 2 :- Click on create button.

  
  
  

  
  

  • Provide the description for Adobe form.

Interface Types in Adobe Forms :-

1. ABAP Dictionary - based Interface :- This interface has different standard parameters in the form interface.

   
   
   

   
   

   
   
   

   
   

   
   
   

   
   

   • So, we can see, we will get different standard parameters automatically for these.

2. XML Schema - based Interface :-

   • We use this interface type, if we create forms in form builder in Web Dynpro for ABAP.

     
     
     

     
     

     • Again, we can see we have different parameters available for this interface type.
     • We use this basically while creating Forms in form builder in Web Dynpro.

3. Smart Forms - Compatible Interface :-

   • This Smartform also has different standard parameters in the form Interface.

   • In this Interface type we will get the same to same parameters for Interface, that we got for our Smartforms.

     
     
     

     
     

     
     
     

     
     

   Note :-

   • For now, we will use ABAP Dictionary - based Interface.
   • Also Most of the time, we only use ABAP Dictionary based Interface for this purpose.

• Step 3 :- In the Import tab we will pass the Employee Id as a Importing Parameter.

  
  
  

  
  

• Step 4 :- Since, we have created the importing parameter, now we need to pass the internal table and work area for our Employee and Project details table.

  • For, our Smartform, we had already created structures and table type in SE11, which I can used it here.

    
    
    

    
    

    
    
    

    
    

  • So, I can use these structures and tables type in the Global data for the Interface in Adobe Forms.

• Step 4 :- Now, Since we already have created internal table and work area.

  Therefore, now we can write the logic part for the same.
