Display PDF document in web browser

Question

Hi,
I have a smartform which is being triggered from Web UI. I got the data and converted it to PDF format.
I need to display this PDF data in a web browser Pop up.
Please let me know how can I do that.
Thanks
Abhishek

Abhishek,
If you are using the business transaction types, you can setup a default "print" action which then when you click on the "print preview" in the webUI you will get an PDF output view of the print output.
If that doesn't work, then look at the business partner factsheet code delivered by SAP which will show how to display a PDF.
Look at component/view BP_HEAD/BPHEADOverview
Class CL_BP_HEAD_BPHEADOVERVIEW_IMPL
method IF_BSP_WD_TOOLBARR_CALLBACK~GET_BUTTONS
and this section of code
      IF lr_partner IS BOUND AND lv_enabled = abap_true.
        lr_partner->get_property_as_value( EXPORTING iv_attr_name = 'BP_GUID'"#EC NOTEXT
                                           IMPORTING ev_result    = lv_partner_guid ).
        IF lv_partner_guid IS NOT INITIAL.
*       ICF handler class prepares java script
          CALL METHOD cl_crm_afs_print=>get_url
            EXPORTING
              iv_object   = lv_object
              iv_key      = lv_partner_guid
              iv_role     = lv_business_role
              iv_language = sy-langu
              iv_form     = ' '     "read from customizing
              iv_format   = lv_format
            IMPORTING
              ev_url      = lv_url.
          IF lv_url IS INITIAL.
            lv_enabled = abap_false.
          ELSE.
            lr_cuco_head ?= get_custom_controller( 'BP_HEAD/Lifecycle' )."#EC NOTEXT
            IF lr_cuco_head IS BOUND.
*              CONCATENATE '"' lv_url '"' INTO lr_cuco_head->gv_preview_url.
              lr_cuco_head->gv_preview_url = lv_url.
            ENDIF.
          ENDIF.
        ENDIF.
        ls_button-text  = cl_wd_utilities=>get_otr_text_by_alias( 'CRM_UIU_BP/BP_PDF' )."#EC NOTEXT
        ls_button-tooltip  = cl_wd_utilities=>get_otr_text_by_alias( 'CRM_UIU_BP/BP_FS_PREVIEW' )."#EC NOTEXT
*        ls_button-on_click = 'PREVIEW'.
        ls_button-on_client_click = 'OpenPopUp()'.          "#EC NOTEXT
        ls_button-page_id  = me->component_id.
        ls_button-enabled = lv_enabled.
        ls_button-icon_src = '/sap/bc/bsp/sap/crm_ppm/w_pdf__s.gif' ."#EC NOTEXT
        APPEND ls_button TO rt_buttons.
        CLEAR ls_button.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
  ENDIF.
Good luck,
Stephen
