color=#0000ff size=2>This is actually a SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe question
and not a workflow question - suggest you raise your question on the appropriate
forum in SDN. There is a specific Adobe forum
there.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=200101221-18122008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Usually with Adobe forms you are importing the data
associated with the form rather than the PDF document itself. You can of
course import the PDF document and parse it but it still needs to obey some
rules. The form must have been generated originally from SAP to pick
up the Reader Rights Credential from Adobe Document Services before sending it
offline. You need to be careful that you have the appropriate
ContainerFoundation_JS JavaScript added to the form etc. as per the ZCI (Zero
Client Installation) guidelines if the form is to pass data into SAP or be
called in interactive mode from the workflow. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=200101221-18122008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>So there are a number of things you need to check ...
either way it has nothing at all to do with the workflow that has been triggered
and everything to do with your WebDynpro application.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">I have the requirement to initiate a workflow from the
population of an Adobe Form via WebDynpro. We've been able to trigger the
workflow just fine, however, the PDF attachment (the adobe form) will not open.
The message says that the attachment is corrupted. I found a whitepaper on
SDN from R.Reddy that talks about this, however, when following his process it
still does not work for us. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Has anyone gone through this before? Are there
snags in the XSTRING to BINARY then binary back to xstring conversion that we
should watch out for? Again the PDF needs to be attached via batch
mode. All suggestions are appreciated.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
