Hi all,
I have created an interactive form in sfp transaction and called successfully in my se38 program.
but when i see the printpreview of the pdf document it says the message " you cannot save this pdf with the filled data"..
Should i apply any SAP note regarding this? how to make the pdf to save with the filled data.

Hi Deepa,
if you want to set data of your program into a pdf form, you need to do the following things:
first of all you need a dictionary based interface with inputparameters.
for example:
parametername: bp_detail
type: type
typedescription: but000
save and activate your interface.
now you have to create a form which is using your interface. Put some fields with databinding on your form, save and activate.
if you have done this, you have to declare in your se38 program the input parameters of the interface.
data bp_detail type but000.
now you can define how the form will be filled... for example
parameters p_input(10) type c default ' '.
select single * from but000 into bp_detail where partner = p_input.
check sy-subrc = 0.
at least you also have to set the inputparameters of the interface as exportparameter of the generated function module
call function fm_name
    EXPORTING
      /1bcdwb/docparams        = fp_docparams
      bp_detail                        = bp_detail
    EXCEPTIONS
      usage_error              = 1
      system_error            = 2
      internal_error            = 3
      others                      = 4.
The result of this example will be, that the user fill in a businesspartnernumber and then a pdf will be created with the data of the businesspartner.
If you want that the user fill in the data into a pdf file and then some other fields should be filled with data automatically, you need webdynpro and a XML-based interface.
I hope this helped
