In the previous part, we learned how to use Javascript in SAP Adobe Forms
to control the conditions. Today, we would learn how to include a logo on
an Adobe Form output.

Pre-requisite: We need to upload the required logo/image as shown below

in the T-code SE78 (same as we do for Smartforms).
Once you upload the image to SAP from your laptop/desktop/local machine,
please do not forget to validate it in t-code SE78. Check our logo image can
be found in SAP system.
Prepare the Form Interface

Transaction Code: SFP. Enter the Interface name and Create (Interface is

mandatory for Adobe form).

Enter the short description and Save.

Enter the Package name and Save.

Let us add our own custom Parameter Name for the image/logo. Select the
Import option under Form Interface (left side) and press the Create button
(right side) to add an Importing Parameter.
Please note: IV_LOGO is of type XSTRING (Data Type).
Save, Check and Activate the Interface.

Design the Form Layout

Go to back SFP Transaction main screen. Create the form.

Press on create button. Provide the short description and Interface name
which you have created earlier.

Enter the Package name and Save.

Drag IV_LOGO from Interface which we created earlier and drop them to
the Context area.
Right click on the YRAM_ADOBE_FORM5 under the context and create a
graphic.
Important step: Change the Graphic type from Graphic Reference to
Graphic content

Hit return key/enter key.

Select Yes option.

Enter Field as IV_LOGO (or whatever name you have given above)
And MIME Type as ‘IMAGE/BMP’.

Save.

Go to Layout. Choose the Data View Tab. Drag and drop the Graphic on the
layout.
You can stretch or condense your logo as per your need. You might want to
remove the logo caption i.e. the default Image Field text. This Image Field
text is a good place to write the tagline of the company/logo if you have
any. Else we can leave it blank.

We have added another text element below the logo for demonstration
purpose.

Check, Save and Activate. Our Layout with a Graphic and Form Interface is
complete. Did you notice, we have two elements in our layout. The logo
field and the graphic content. It can be compared to the variable name
and the actual content.

Driver Program to call the Adobe Form

You can use the below code as a reference to plug and play for printing the
logo.

Let us Test our baby 

Execute Program : YRAM_ADOBE_FORM_PROGRAM5

Provide the image/logo name which we uploaded in SE78 or any other logo
name which is already available in SAP system. We would use
SAPYardLogo.
Please check the program above. The logo property is dynamically obtained
from the image name and fed to the SAP Adobe Form. You can input any
image you want from your SAP system. The program would handle it
automatically to obtain the signature of the image and pass it correctly to
the Adobe Form.

Press on Print preview and view the output with your image.
Check our logo. Do you like SAPYard Logo? Do you have any better
suggestion for the logo for our site?
