Display PDF Business Documents in ITS application on ECC6.0

Hi SDN forum,
We are currently migrate an ITS application that was plugged with SAP R/3 4.6C on a W.A.S 7.00 (ECC 6.0)
One of our web pages enables us to display PDF documents (material technical documents). These documents were stored until now in web apache server frontend in DMZ.
We manage to make work the web pages in new architecture but PDF document can't be displayed.
We don't know where to put them today with integrated ITS in W.A.S architecture and how to configure new llinks.
PS :PDF documents are linked with DIR objects in R/3. (CV03N)
Thanks a lot for your precious help.

Hi Joseph
Many thanks for the info.
I had raised an SR in Metalink as well as requesting info here and Metalink gave me a ftp link to the document.
This solved my problems as I needed to undertake the extra configurations in opmn.xml, webappserver.cfg and add a .jar file (these are not shown anywhere in the standard BPA admin or install guides!!)
Once all these done it works like a dream and users state it is faster then a Tom Cat based deployment.
Cheers
John

Display PDF on Web via ITS.

Hello everyone,
I am trying to display a pdf that I am converting from OTF on web directly via ITS in SAP GUI for HTML based IAC. The following is the code behind scenes.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
EXPORTING
    format = 'PDF'
    max_linewidth = 132
IMPORTING
    bin_filesize = g_bin
*    BIN_FILE =
TABLES
    otf = p_T_OTF
    lines = t_lines
    EXCEPTIONS
      err_max_linewidth = 1
      err_format = 2
      err_conv_not_possible = 3
      err_bad_otf = 4
      OTHERS = 5.
CALL FUNCTION 'ALEWEB_DOWNLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      data_len                = g_bin
      mime_type               = 'application/pdf'
      DATA_TYPE               = 'BIN'
    tables
      data_tab                = t_lines.
Then the following garbage is getting displayed.
äâ´±â¸³à´â¢îíà¨²â°â¯æªà´ã°¼
But if I use GUI_DOWNLOAD as shown below, then the PDF is getting downloaded into my local PC without any problem and I am able to read the PDF also.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
bin_filesize = g_bin
filename = 'test.pdf'
filetype = 'BIN'
TABLES
data_tab = t_lines.
I am using ECC 5.0 and ITS 6.20 Patch 23. What should I do to see the PDF on web.
Thanks,

Hi
I have a doubt so thought i will ask you. I am creating a spool request number through VF02. How can get the OTF format in to my internal table using the spool request number to use this function module. I am using the FM CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF and getting the PDF in to the internal table but i am getting some authorization problems in reading the spool request can you help me on this.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
EXPORTING
    format = 'PDF'
    max_linewidth = 132
IMPORTING
    bin_filesize = g_bin
   BIN_FILE =

    otf = p_T_OTF
    lines = t_lines

Displaying pdf files in Portal from application server.

Hi,
I have a requirement where i will give a link on the portal for Provident Fund related data. When the user clicks on the link, i have to retrieve his pdf file from the folder stored on the application server and display it in portal. Could you please tell me how to do it?
Also can we use Knowledge Management for it? If yes, how to do it?

Hi,
This can be done by
1. Store the pdfs in the server like userid.pdf. Or you can add the year also the the file name. The files can be in the same appserver. No need for KM.
2. Create a Webdynpro application where the WD automatically reads user ids of the person logged in (IUser).
3. In the Webdynpro code create a LinkToURL element with the user id you got in step one. This will make sure that somebody cannot see others file.

Display PDF Documents Stored In Database

Hi
I apologise that this question has been asked many times, but I just do not seem to be able to find answer to my question in many other posts over the years.
We have pdf documents stored in database and wish for client to view from forms session.
I am able to use webutil_file_transfer.DB_To_Client_With_Progress to transfer to client and open using client_host('cmd /c start '||TheFile);
I am also able to view pdf documents stored on application server using web.show_document.
What I would prefer to do is:
1. Transfer file from database to application server (This is bit I cannot figure out)
2. Display from application server using web.show_document
3. Delete temporary file from application server (Also unsure how to do this)
Our users have thin clients and so in many cases do not have access or unsure where can access to store temporary file if use transfer to client method. Wish to keep temporary file activity on application server.

You can combine the methods in WEBUTIL. Check this Re: Forms 10G - Saving Blob on Application Server using Java.

Displaying pdf document in transaction bnk_moni

Hi all,
We are trying to open a pdf file in transaction bnk_moni. But this fails since there are no function modules to handle the pdf format.
This funation module FI_PAYM_XML_DISPLAY is used for displaying the XML document in the same transaction. ¨
Are there any FM or alternate ways to diplay pdf files in that transaction.Any clue would be great.
Thanks,
Kavitha

That DLL is part of your printer driver; reinstall or update the device driver for your printer, and the message should go away.

Is it possible to show a PDF document in Java application, Using JEditorPane or.....?

What makes you think so? There's a screenshot on that page presenting a Metal GUI, so it's compatible with Swing. Also, there are lots of other solutions ...

Adobe Reader DC, doesn't disable "Display PDF Document in the web browser" when option is unchecked.

The option under Accessibility>Setup Assistanct to uncheck the "Display PDF Document in the web browser" doesn't correctly disable Display PDF in browser when unchecked, it still defaults to opening in Internet Explorer even after restarting the browser. Confirmed this tested agianst with IE 8, 9, 10 and 11 with the same behavior. Moving back to Reader 11.0.10 and using this same setting works flawlessly. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

I am out of the office until 1/22/13.

Display Smartform Pdf output in ABAP Webdynpro application

Thanks
Udo Ahle

Hello,
this is the solution which i was able to implement using the hints given by Heidi and Thomas. Thank you for the support. With this solution it is possible to reuse oldstyle sapscripts and smartforms in todays environment. Here is the sample code which solves the problem:
In WDA you define for example a pushbutton to start the display of the PDF.
In the onaction method you implement:
method ONACTIONSHOW_PDF .
data LX_pdf type xstring.
* get PDF from existing sapscript or smatform
call function 'Y_PDF_GET' destination '46c'
    IMPORTING
      ex_PDF = LX_PDF.
* append the pdf to the response
cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response(
    i_filename = 'Hello.PDF'
    i_content   = lx_pdf
    i_mime_type = 'application/pdf'
    i_in_new_window = 'X'
    i_inplace       = 'X' ).
endmethod.
The function 'Y_PDF_GET' is implemented as follows:
FUNCTION Y_PDF_GET .
*"*"Local interface:
*" EXPORTING

        tline type tline.

perform make_otf.
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_OTF_FROM_MEMORY'
    TABLES
      OTF                = lt_otf
   EXCEPTIONS

ENDIF.
* convert tline to xstring as needed in
* in web dynpro
field-symbols <X>.
data: st(268) type c.
data l1 type i.
data len type i.
data maxline type i value 134.
l1 = 0.
loop AT lt_lines INTO tline.
    clear st.
    st+l1(maxline) = tline.
    len = maxline + l1.
    l1 = maxline - strlen( tline ).
    ASSIGN st TO <x> TYPE 'X'.
    CONCATENATE ex_pdf <x>(len) INTO ex_pdf.
endloop.
ENDFUNCTION.
The make_otf for sapscript is the following:

      TABLES
        OTF              = lt_otf.
endif.
For Smartforms technology it is possible to implement the same concept.

Document Properties - Extract Application that Created the Pdf

Hello,
I need to extract the original application that a pdf was created from in javascript. eg in the document properties the application is shown as follows:
Application: AutoCAD 2010
The console script I have is as follows:
console.println('Application: '

When the script is run it does not extract the application which the pdf was created from.
Can anyone please advise how the script can be modified to extract the application from the document properties?
Any assistance will be most appreciated.
Thank you.

Thank you very much for your help, most appreciated .
I can now extract the application which created the pdf as follows:
console.println('Application that create pdf: '
