Display PDF in Portal

Hi all,
I have a problem when I display a PDF in SAP Portal. This application shows me a form, developed in smartforms, in new windows in SAP Portal. In QA I donu2019t have a problem only in PRD. My problem is that this PDF doesnu2019t open directly, appears a pop up asking me to save it.
Why in QA this pop up doesnu2019t appear but in PRD appears.
There is some configuration in SAP Portal for this????
Anybody can help me???
Regards,
Marcelo

Marcelo,
1. Try disabling the pop up blocker if any on your production system.
2. Compare the pdf properties on both systems.
Open a pdf file, go to edit-> preferences and compare it on both the systems.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Problems displaying PDF in Portal EP7 - only able to display HTML form

Hi,
Anyone knows how to force showing of PDF based form instead of HTML form in the portal? We're currently on EP7 SPS10.
We have tested ADS in backend, meaning that travelforms show up as PDF there and we can control what to show with a switch in a table. But it doesn't seem to be picked up in the portal. Regardless of whether we set the parameter sap.xss.tra.UsePDF or not (both in the iview property Application Parameters and/or in the resource "EMPLOYEE_TRAVE_TRIP_FORM_PDF" of service "EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_TRIPFORM") it still displays the HTML form.
Has anyone experienced this before? We're having a hard time figuring out where and how to enable PDF forms. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Hans Petter Bjørn

Hans,
We have the same problem.Did you figure out how to do this? Any info would be extremely helpful.
Thanks

Passing parameters from webdynpro to rfc and displaying pdf in portal

Hi,
I am creating a webdynpro application where in I am using the following code for catching the current user who has logged into the portal.
try{
IWDClientUser user = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
if(user.isAnonymousUser()){
//User is anonymous .. do something...
}else{
//user is authenticated..do something
}catch(WDUMException e){
//do something...
I am calling a rfc, how do I pass the username to the rfc?
This rfc will retrieve some data from R/3 and covert the data into pdf format.
How do I display this pdf document in the portal?
Thanks in advance,
Jayesh

Hi Jayesh,
The rfc you are using should have a imput parameter that takes the user id as a parameter. When you import the rfc in webdynpro you will get an input class for the rfc. The parameter will either be in the input class itself or in a seperate structure which should also have a class separetely.
For example the rfc name is GET_USER_DETAILS
The input class will something like
INPUT_GET_USER_DETAILS
There will also be an ouput class like
OUTPUT_GET_USER_DETAILS
If there is a structure there will be class for that structure like
STUSER
If the parameter is in the INPUT CLASS then
after you initialize the class you can assign it to the input object
For Example
INPUT_GET_USER_DETAILS inp = new INPUT_GET_USER_DETAILS
inp.setUserID(userid)
If it is in the structure then
STUSER st = new STUSER
st.setUserID(userid)
Then assign the structure object to the input object
inp.setStUser(st)
About the PDF document.
When you create a PDF form you will create a label or an text field in the form.
The label or the text field will be mapped to the context of the view.
You can assign the username to the context variable which will be reflected in the pdf document.
Hope this helps

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.

Work item not getting displayed in the portal

Hi experts,
We are creating a protoype for one of the standard HCM form for change in working time. When we initiate the process, the workflow is supposed to identify the agent(which is the manager in this case) and push the work item in the inbox of the manager.
In our issue, we are able to see the workitem in SAP inbox, but the same work item is not getting displayed in the portal.
If we try to approve from the SAP inbox, the hard coded message u201CWork item can only be executed using the Portal and the UWLu201D comes. [this comes through the method of one of the tasks 17900101 which we are using for approving the form]
We commented the message by using a Z class. Now we donu2019t get the hardcoded message, but still the workflow does not complete from here.
Can this be aan integration issue of the workflow tasks with the portal??Can someone elaborate on this??

<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS17900101.SAP_ECC" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="launchWebDynPro" executionMode="default">
 <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_ECC" externalType="TS17900101" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
 <Actions>

You have to say to your portal team to modify their XML file as above. In simple you hvae to configure the task in the portal and in the SWFVISU txn as follows with the following vizualization parameters
Task TS17900101 and visualization type is JavaWebDynpro

I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat.

Dear everyone
I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.
I read a european commission document explaining that
http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/support/sep_usermanual.pdf
If Safari does not display pdf forms in the browser window, uninstall all older versions of Adobe Reader and download the most recent one. First close Safari and then install Reader. Launch Safari and you ought to be able to open the pdf files inside the Safari window. If you install Adobe Reader 10.1.x without first closing Safari, Safari will not display the pdf file inside its browser window until it is re-launched. For further help, please see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-safari-plug-acrobat-x.html
I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat
but when I open a web page that I need to allow me to display and modify PDF files it is not working.
I checked the following web page
Troubleshoot Safari plug-in | Acrobat X, Reader X
that is recommending the following:
The AdobePDFViewer plug-in is used to display PDF files in Safari using Acrobat and Reader.
This plug-in is installed as part of the Acrobat X or Reader X installation. The location of this plug-in is:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
but after the new installation with this folder is completely empty and I am still
unable to open these pdf.
Does anybody knows anything else I can do?
Best regards

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

Does anyone know why after upgrading to Mavericks, Safari will not display PDF files, is there a solution?

I cannot get Safari to display PDF files, it shows a blank screen with the comment that Safri has blocked PDF, however when you unblock it still does not show the PDF, I have had to rely on Firefox for this, which I find not too good. Any help very much appreciated.
