Answer 1

1. Create a smart form in the R/3 side
2. Now create a function module with the corresponding export parameter:
3. Make sure that the function module is marked remote enabled. 
4. In NWDS  create an Adaptive RFC model which points to the FM created in R/3 under the webdynpro application
5. Now create an application and view inside it to display the PDF and Insert a frame inside the view
6. Create a  value node and an attribute say url of type string inside that node and bind it to the source
7. In the doInit() method place the following code
>    ZTest_Pdf_1_Input input = new ZTest_Pdf_Input();
>    wdContext.nodeZTest_Pdf_Input().bind(input);      
>    try {                       
>            wdContext.currentZTest_Pdf_InputElement().modelObject().execute();
>            }
>  catch (Exception e) {
>                        e.printStackTrace();
>            }          
>  wdContext.currentInternalElement().setUrl(convert(wdContext.currentOutputElement().getBin_File()));       
Inside that view create a method to convert the string to url so that it can be passed as a string to the setUrl method of the currentContextElement() , say convet(byte[] doc_content) which return a string.
Inside that methos write the following code,
>         String url = "";
>           WDWebResourceType webResType = WDWebResourceType.PDF;
>            IWDWebResource webResource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(doc_content, webResType);
>            try {
>                        url = webResource.getURL();
>            }
>  catch (Exception e) {
>                        e.printStackTrace();
>            }          
>            return url;
Hope It will be helpful
