Dynamic generation of form to show table entries

Question

Dear experts,
I am aware of how to dynamically program for form generation when the layout static and is already defined in transaction SFP.
However I have a requirement wherein the form layout is not available . But the form should get generated dynamically and display values from a table in a simple field - value format. ( Just the way SE16 displays table content , the only difference being output should be in a PDF)
Any pointers how I can progress on this.
Appreciated your inputs.
Thank you.
With regards,
Sahir.

How does default checked checkboxes work for checkboxes of type String[]?
The following code works, but it is for form property of type String, instead of String[]:
<form-property name="prop" type="java.lang.String" />
form.set("prop", "true");
<html:checkbox property="prop" value="true"> // checked by defaultThis is what I tried for type String[], modelling it off the ideas of the above code, but it does not work:
<form-property name="prop" type="java.lang.String[]" />
String[] propArray = {"1", "4"};
form.set("prop", propArray[]);
<html:checkbox property="prop" value="1">  //should be checked by default, but is not
<html:checkbox property="prop" value="2">
<html:checkbox property="prop" value="3"> 
<html:checkbox property="prop" value="4"> //should be checked by default, but is notWhy does it work for String but not String[]? How do I make it so that they are checked by default for type String[]?
