Display a document pdf in an external window (WD ABAP)

Hi all,
I have an application <u><b>Web dynpro Abap</b></u> and it adds articles in a alv component that it is a purchase basket.
This alv has a user function what opens a document pdf (interactiveForm)
that shows the lines of the order. I would like that this pdf be displayed in an <b>external window</b>, and it was independent of the window of alv of the purchase basket.
This is possible. If it is possible, how can I do it?
Regards,
Ana

Open PDF in New External Window

Hi
how to open a PDF Report(File) in new IE Window from WebdynproJava
Regards
Dhinakar

Hi,
         If the PDF document is in the server then we can show that in the external window onClick of the button.
Write this code in the onAction button event.
try
byte[] content =this.getByteArrayFromResourcePath("<server path>\Guide.pdf");
String stResourcePath = new String("<server path>\Guide.pdf");
IWDCachedWebResource resource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(content, WDWebResourceType.PDF);
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(resource.getAbsoluteURL()," document");
window.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.TOOL_BAR);
window.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.ADDRESS_BAR);
window.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.STATUS_BAR);
window.open();
catch(WDURLException ex)
catch(IOException ex)
Paste this code here:
//@@begin others
private byte[] getByteArrayFromResourcePath(String resourcePath) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException
       FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(new File(resourcePath));
     ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
     int len;
     byte[] part = new byte[10 * 1024];
     while ((len = in.read(part)) != -1)
               out.write(part, 0, len);
               in.close();
               return out.toByteArray();

Generate PDF into New External window

Hi All,
I have developped an application.In that I am getting the data from R/3.In my application first View displays table of data and the table row contain some invoice information when I click that Row that information would be displayed as PDFform(created using interactiveforms) in an External window.
Any body have done same or any suggessions please.
Advance Thanks
Mandapati.

Hi Mandapati,
I am afraid, the InteractiveFrom ui element can only be used to display a pdf on the view is resides. It is not possible to display the same view of the same session within another browser at the same time.
Therefore, you cannot use InteractiveForm ui element, but you could generate a PDF using the API Heidi refers to. The pdf can be stored inside of the cache of the application server or could be retrieved by special self-implemented handler in ICF. If I am not mistaken, there exists some information on doing something like this inside of the BSP forum as I know that it is part of Brian McKellar's und Thomas Jung's BSP book. My advise would be to search for a weblog or inside of the BSP forum (or to buy the book g). Of course, all the above only applies if you use Web Dynpro ABAP.
Best regards,
Thomas

Pdf link dont work if document open in separate Acrobat window in internet explorer

Hi,
We have many pdf with different links between this pdf. The link type is "Open a file".
- If the fist pdf document is open from hard drive this links works perfectly.
- If the pdf document is open from the web site (http://website/doc1.pdf) and adobe reader is configured to open pdf in internet explorer it work also.
- But if the reader is configured to open pdf in a external window this link dont work. The link try to open the second pdf in c://Internet Temporary Folder/ as root instead of http://website/
Does anyone know a workaround ? I don't know if my customers have configured the reader to open in internet explorer or in a external windows...
Thanks for help !

If web browser integration is turned off, it really is turned off.
Adobe Reader simply becomes a "helper" application. The browser
downloads the file, puts it somewhere, and runs Adobe Reader. Adobe
Reader is not told anything special about the file and its origins, so
it cannot know that this was (before the download) a web file, or
where it came from.
A URL link might be the answer.

Open PDF in external window within browser?

My company's line of business app (we're an insurance agency) depends on the browser plugin to display PDF's that are attached to customer accounts. Unfortunately, the app displays the PDF in a small window that cannot be resized and requests to the software vendor to find another way to handle PDF's have been virtually ignored. To get around this, we've been disabling "Display PDF in browser" to force PDF's to open in the full Reader program. As luck would have it, at least one agency we do business with requires the browser plugin, otherwise it assumes we have no PDF program and asks the user to download Adobe Reader. So we have people constantly going back & forth, disabling and enabling the browser plugin. I looked at the SDK and there's a sample plugin to open a PDF in an external window. I loaded it up in Visual Studio and built the project, but it appears to not be working (maybe it's strictly for Acrobat). It would be awesome if there could be a button on the toolbar to open the PDF externally when you open it in a browser. Any ideas we can try? This image gives you an idea of what my end users are looking at.

This offer Adobe doc http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/PDFOpenParameters.pdf States that you can use '&' instead of the '#'.

How to use the AVMenuItemExecute() with an External Window

Hello,
I'm trying to use the AVMenuItemExecute() function in an External window. I mean that I have an opened document in another window (using AVDocOpenFromASFileWithParams or a function like that).
Actually the problem is that the AVMenuItemExecute() is executed on the Acrobat windows which is emplty in my case because I open the PDF file in another window.
Do you know whether it's possible or not? Whethet it's possible how can I do that?
Thanks in advance,
Joël

Thanks Leonard.
Actually I want to use all MenuItem so it's not a good way to do this.
I know it's possible using IAC but I have another problem with IAC. IAC allows to show the PDF file in an external window and to use the ExecuteMenuItem(). But in my case a PDF file is already open before starting IAC. So when I use the ExecuteMenuItem() function this is on my first Acrobat window that the action is launched. Indeed the document opens with IAC is not in an Acrobat window.
Regards,
Joël
Actually it's not possible with IAC. While IAC does allow you to open a PDF in an external window, and it does allow you to ExecuteMenuItem(), as Leonard explained you CAN NOT ExecuteMenuItem() on the PDF in your external window. The reason for this is simple - in your external window, the menu items to execute do not exist as the menu only loads inside Acrobat/Reader.
ExecuteMenuItem() doesn't simply replace having menu items and call the internal code associated with that menu item. It literally executes that menu item. So if the menu doesn't exist, it can't execute anything.

Displaying PDF in new Browser window

Hi all,
I have a question about displaying a invoices in pdf format in a new window. I read several threads about this, but I haven't been able to solve my problem.
I'm using following code:
append the pdf to the response
cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response(
    i_filename = 'test.pdf'
    i_content   = lx_pdf
    i_mime_type = 'application/pdf'
    i_in_new_window = ' X'
    i_inplace       = 'X' ).
The content (lx_pdf) is retrieved from a smartform, via the function module for the smartform in question, after which I convert the OTF Data (JOB_OUTPUT_INFO-OTFDATA) to XSTRING using FM SCMS_TEXT_TO_XSTRING. The returned data (buffer of type xstring) I use for afore mentioned method. But all I get to see is the following:

The text is correct, but it is not displayed as PDF in new window, and of course I'm not interested in all the formatting codes in front of every line??
I should be possible to display a pdf in a new browser window without having installed everything needed for Adobe Interactive forms, or isn't it??
Kind regards,
Micky.

Hi Micky.
If you have the spool number of the printed billing document you can use
component WDK_SPOOL_TO_PDF in order to display spool as PDF.
Just transfer spool number and format to default inbound start up plug.

Sascha

Surface Pro 3 Display/Video/Graphics Driver Issues - DisplayPort, External Monitors, Windows 10 Build 9926

Surface Pro 3 - i5 with Intel HD Graphics 4400
Windows 10 build 9926
All Latest updates installed
Intel Graphics Driver 10.18.15.4079.
Latest system update released on Jan 22nd (which I understand is just the latest intel graphics driver?).
The display driver status has this error message: Windows has stopped this device because it
has reported problems. (Code 43) - I assume it's
reverting to the basic Microsoft driver when this occurs. Which explains why my displayport (External monitors) will not work.
I have uninstalled the driver completely (and deleted the driver files), tried the Windows basic driver,
and rebooted several times with no luck.
I cannot get my docking station displayport or the displayporton my surface pro 3 working.
According to Microsoft (see below), this is a known issue UNTIL you update to display driver
version 4079 - which I have.
Known issues on Surface after updating to Windows 10 January Technical Preview
On Surface Pro 2 and Surface Pro 3, the Mini DisplayPort won’t work on the Windows 10 January Technical Preview until you’ve installed graphics driver 4079 or later. Check Windows Update often for the most recent graphics driver.
On Surface Pro 2 and Surface Pro 3, you’ll notice poor graphics rendering on the Windows 10 January Technical Preview until you’ve installed graphics driver 4079 or newer from Windows Update. Check Windows Update often for the most recent graphics driver.
If you’re using video driver 3496, you may need to start in safe mode and remove that driver. Then restart Surface in normal mode and go to Windows Update to get the most recent graphics driver.

Hi Nicholas,
Similar issue has been asked here:
Surface Pro 3 restarting after a series of blank screens!
For error code 43, here is a reference:
Code 43: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems
For the current situation, please try to wait for the driver update, as display driver version 4079 didn't work well at your side, please submit this through Windows Feedback Tool.

Open PDF's in new window in document library when using "Find a file" search

I need to be able to open PDF's in a new window from a document library when using the "Find a file" search built into the document library "All documents" view. I currently have the following javascript on the page:
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("setTargetBlank()");
function setTargetBlank()
{ $("a[href$='.pdf']").removeAttr('onclick').attr("target", "_blank");
This works great when going to the document library and navigating through the folders then clicking on a link.
The problem is when someone goes to the document library then uses the "Find a file" search and then they click on a link. The "Find a file" search does not do a postback (reload) of the page, therefore my javascript to find the PDF links
and make them open in a new window does not run for the links on the page.
I have read the following article but this does not seem to offer a solution that will work in this situation for SharePoint 2013 (Office 365): http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/7ad3224c-3165-47ae-95bc-4f3928e2f9a8/opening-document-library-pdf-in-a-new-window-sharepoint-2013?forum=sharepointgeneral
I suppose the idea solution would be to somehow tap into the event that is fired when using "Find a file" search to run my javascript and update the links for the search results.
Can anyone offer any solutions to this issue?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to open PDF files in a new window from a document library when using the "Find a file" search.
As you said, the "Find a file" search does not do a postback (reload) of the page, therefore JavaScript to find the PDF links and make them open in a new window does not run for the links on the page.
I recommend to use JS link to achieve the goal. Create a JavaScript override file and upload the JavaScript file to the Master Page Gallery, and then set the JS Link property of the document library web part to point to the JavaScript file.
Here are some links about the JS link in SharePoint 2013 for you to take a look:

Webdynpro application can't display a URL iView in a new External window

Fellow developer:
In my WD4A application, I called the method 'navigate_absolute' to display a URL iView in a new External window.
The code is as follows:
data lo_portal_manager type ref to if_wd_portal_integration.
call method lo_portal_manager->navigate_absolute
exporting
navigation_target = 'ROLES://u2026'
navigation_mode = '1'. ('0' - Displayed in the Same Window, " '1' - Displayed in a new External Window)
The application can display the iView in the same Window (navigation_mode = '0'), but cannot in a new External window (navigation_mode = '1').
In the iView properties, the following attributes are set to:
1. Launch in New Window - Dipslay in Separate Window
2. Open iView Links in New Window - Yes
If you know the answer, please advise.
Thanks
