And Ginger Gatling has given a beautiful demo in SDN for Adobe form usage in GP. Check that out as well.

Nops. If you are using offline forms separately then u can do so. But in GP its easy to implement the same.

Hello Nikil,

GP is mainly suitable for offline adobe forms.

As you know, its very simple to read the data from an Adobe interactive form too.

The outline of this process is as below.

1) You can create an interface in SFP with the necessary data types and data elements that you need for your scenario.

2) Use this interface and create an Adobe interactive form in SFP itself.

3) When creating the form, u'll be asked to enter the interface name for the form. give the name of the interface.

4) Once the Adobe livecycle designed opens, you;ll find all the data elements appearing on the dataview of the designer. just drag and drop all the components are per your need.

5) give a submit button with the URL to submit it back to the GP process using %..(.....postprocessorURL...).%

6) Save and activate. Now you can take the XML code from the XML tab and paste it in a note pad and save it as an XDP file.

6) Use this XDP file for creating the CO of type Interactive form and choose the template for XDP file.

7) Choose the option for offline mode and send mail option in the CO creation.

😎 include it in the process as needed.

9) The data from the form can be read from parameters of the CO. You can see this in the Parameters tab for the process.

10) Do the mapping as needed and then you can pass the value to the next step.

Let me know if you need more info.

Cheers,
