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

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();

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

Open an image in new external window...

Hi all,
I have an image in the server, say "c:\hai.jpg", through my application i want to open this image in a new external window on click of a button.
I used the following code,
          String file ="C:\images\p.JPG";
          final byte[] content = this.getByteArrayFromResourcePath(file);
          final IWDCachedWebResource resource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(content, WDWebResourceType.JPG_IMAGE);
          resource.setResourceName("p."+resource.getResourceType().getFileExtension());
          try
               final IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(resource.getAbsoluteURL(), "WD_Filedownload", true);
               window.open();
          catch(Exception e){
               wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(new WDNonFatalException(e), false);
This code opens a new Internet Explorer, but not the image. When i printed the AbsoluteURL of the resource, its printing null. Where am i going wrong?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Armin,
I am using this byte array code

           int length;

           while ((length = in.read(part)) != -1) {

Call selected report in new External window

Hi ,
I have a dropdown with 10 reports. say exaploe Report1, Report2......etc
Now when i selct a Report1 from the drop down and click on PintReport button , I would like call a new External Window. This exteral window should display the data in a table from executed related reportRFC1.
Please can you give some advice what is the best approach to achieve this.
Thanks
Krish

Hi,
if you have the output of your reports as HTML, you can easily use this:
html = htmlheader + htmlBody + htmlfooter;
final IWDCachedWebResource resource = WDWebResource.getPublicCachedWebResource(html.getBytes("UTF-8"), WDWebResourceType.HTML, WDScopeType.APPLICATION_SCOPE, wdComponentAPI.getDeployableObjectPart(), "Title");
resource.setResourceName("HTML_inline.html");
resource.setAttachment(false);
resource.setReadOnce(false);
resource.setMakeCopy(true);
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(resource.getAbsoluteURL(), "New Window Name");
window.show();
Maybe you can use wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(resource.getAbsoluteURL(), "New Window Name"); In an other way. It's a method, that opens a new Browser Window.
Best regards,
Christian

PDF viewer into new browser window

Hello,
I use following code to open new browser window with PDF file. The URL passed to the method is link to SICF service which returns the PDF in the request with content-type = 'application/pdf'. New window is open with correct URL, but the content is not displayed - Refresh or Go button has to be pressed to display it. Don't you experience similar problem? Is this WD error or some IE security setting?
Thank you and best regards,
Ludek
lr_window = lr_w_manager->create_external_window(
      url = ld_url
      title = ''
      modal = abap_false
      has_menubar = abap_true
      is_resizable = abap_true
      has_scrollbars = abap_true
      has_statusbar = abap_true
      has_toolbar = abap_true ).
lr_window->open( ).

Hi Ludek,
Probably a compression problem. Have you turned off gzip compression for the pdf?
Btw, an alternate solution without having a separate handler is to use the cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response() method.
Best regards,
Thomas

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.
Cheers,
Sascha

Forcing link in one web based PDF to open link to another PDF in new browser window

We have created a form using LiveCycle Designer ES2. The form is found on our website and is used by faculty to submit proposal information to our office. Depending upon the answers to questions in the form if they say yes we had a link to another form that we would like them to complete and submit with the original PDF that they are working on. The problem that we are having is that when they click on the form it opens the new PDF and all the data that they had entered in the original PDF is gone once the new form opens up. Is there a way to force the new PDF via the use of some scripting that can go along with the link, or via the use of a button that can force the new form to open in a new browser window? It is impractical for us to expect 1500 faculty members to change their browser settings to open new PDF's in a new window. We have removed the links for now and have just put in text that says if they select yes they need to go out and complete the additional form.
The form we are using can be found here: http://spo.usu.edu/files/uploads/SP-01.pdf
The first three questions on page two where we reference the other forms is where we would like to be able to add the links to the new forms and have them open in a new browser window. When the form is downloaded and opened in Adobe Acrobat/Reader the links functioned correctly, it just did not function properly when it opens in a browser.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer in regards to this issue.

I used a button, removed the border/fill properties and underlined the caption to look like a URL.
The click event is...
// form1.page1.subform1.urlBtn::click - (JavaScript, client)
app.launchURL("http://spo.usu.edu/files/uploads/SP-01.pdf",true);
The PDF will open in a new window or tab, depending upon the browser configuration.

Add button to open PDF in new browser window CS3

I'm trying to add a button that says "Go" that will open a PDF in a new browser window.
I've looked at the following article but don't see the "Select Action" pull-down.
http://www.acrobatusers.com/blogs/tedpadova/opening-pdfs-new-browser-windows
Using Dreamweaver CS3.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I hope I understood your question correctly, if so my suggestion may be helpful. Otherwise I think it's nearly the same what paul writes, I only made clear my proposal in a website for you, first a photo:
and here is the link: http://www.goldschmiede-blumberg.de/pdf/adob_pdf.php.
Note 1: "Ausgabe 9" und "ein Mausklick hier genügt" are links!!
Note 2: " Um pdf-Dateien ...." Means: To read pdf files, you need the free Adobe Reader. The current version you can download from the Adobe website.
Look at it's source code.
Viel Erfolg

This alv has a user function what opens a document pdf (interactiveForm)

Hi everyone,
I need to enable access to archive PDF files but within a new PDF file containing header and footer.
Request is not to change archived PDF files at all.
I use Web Dynpro application to upload PDF file and to display new PDF file.
I thought converting archive PDF files into JPG files and than using an 'Image Field' object to display those in a new PDF file.
I am dealing here with PDF version 1.3 files.
I am also having trouble converting these PDF files into JPG files. Any sugestions one this problem?
Does anyone have any suggestion on how to deal with this concerning the fact that archive PDF files can not be changed?
Is there some other way to merge two PDF files into one using Adobe Designer?

Drop Down Menu - 3rd Level iView open in new external Window with parameter

Hello Community,
we have the following problem: We have created some drop down menu for the portal navigation. Some iViews we are going to open in new Window. Therefore the iViews are getting some parameters like: menubar=no, toolbar=no, resizable=yes, status yes....and so one....And also the iView has fixed height and width.
Now when we are going to open the iview in the second level position, everything is working fine and the window functions are also used.
When we change the position of the iview from an second level position to an third level position, and we want to open the iview from the drop down menu, the window functions and the size is not used.
Can some one help? I have attached the JSP Code:
