Starting a Workflow Using an Adobe Interactive Form

[Kim Selby]

Hi,

I am very new to Workflow and to this forum.  I am tasked with trying to put
a 'simply transport process' into a Workflow.  Basically after CCB Approval,
an Developer completes an 'Transport form' (Adobe Interactive
Form)-digitally signs the form, forwards it to the next person (e.g. Tester,
Code Reviewer, etc) for approval/signature. Basically this form will need to
'travel' with the Work Item to the next approving agent, until it reaches
it's final signature (i.e. CCB Mgr).  The original request for this workflow
was to eliminate the 'extra' emails back and forth with various
forms-sometimes missing necessary signatures.  I'm not even a 100% sure that
this current process is even a candidate for a WF, but want to explore the
option of creating it anyway.

I'm actually a beginning PI Dev, but was asked to learn Workflow so that I
will be able to take on this 'small' project:-).  I've taken BIT600 &
BIT601, as well as begun reading SAP Practical Workflow (2nd Ed).  I have
the basic understanding, but am having a difficult time of understanding how
to 'begin' this workflow.  I believe that I want to use the Adobe form as
the 'triggering' event to start the WF, but I can't quite figure out the
'how-to do this' part.  Basically, my questions are:  How can I find info on
how to trigger my workflow using this form? Is it actually possible to
attach a form so that it travels from one approval to the other?  I have
access to an ABAP Programmer (that knows Web Dynpro), should I elect to have
this person assist me on this project?

I apologize, if this is not the forum to ask these questions.  If it isn't,
could you kindly point me in the right direction? I have been trying to read
all the back archived Q&A to see if I can find some info, so if there is a
particular date I should check/read, please advise.

Thank you so much for your time.
