How to pass pdf documents through idocs

I wanted to know how to pass pdf document along with a transaction code like sales order or travel expense manager with the help of IDOCs.

Lily,
I observe that you have declared lv_xml_data as TYPE xstring & string and get_data method probably expects data of xstring type.
Have a look at the "Extract the Data" section from following [article.|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/c2567f2b-0b01-0010-b7b5-977cbf80665d&overridelayout=true]

How to link PDF document in Report Layout??

I need to display the contents of PDF document after the form letter report. I tried OLE object but at the runtime it does not display the content. Does any one knows how to attach PDF document in reports layout?
Thanks
Ravindra

you will have to concatinate your report output with the static PDF document. in reprots 10g you can create a cusotm destination that could implement this functionality.
out of the box, reports does not provide the ability to add static content in PDF to reports' generated PDF output.
thanks,

New document alert: How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS

Opening PDF Files in Reader for iOS (iPhone and iPad) has been very helpful to many users of Adobe Reader for iOS. However, Apple has drastically changed the user interface in iOS 7, which made the original document obsolete.
According to Apple Developer Support's App Store Distribution page, 89% of devices connected to the App Store are using iOS 7 during a 7‑day period ending June 29, 2014.
Because of the exceptionally high iOS 7 adoption rate, Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.3 now supports iOS 7 only.
Here are the new How-To documents for iOS 7.
How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 version)
How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 version)
(It had to be split into two separate documents because each contains way too many screenshots.)
Hope these documents are as helpful as the original one.
Please let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions on the topics for other help documents/tutorials.

Dennis (or any Adobe rep),
Any updates to the OP's question? I'm with a large government agency, and we're moving away from GoodReader for reasons I can't go into here, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks within the app is a mandatory feature for the document reader we select. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.6.1) installed on my government iPad, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks still seems to be missing. Does Adobe have any plans to add this feature, or is it already present and I'm simply overlooking it?
Thanks,
Cam

How to create FI Document in Idoc.....

Hi Abapers,
I hve small doubt that
how to create FI Document in Idoc.....?????s
I was new to the Idoc creation .......
can u give me step by step process..............
Thanks & Regard
Ravi Sarma

Hi Rahul,
As per my understanding you are loking for creating the IDOC per FI document.
So if in case the multiple rows have retrived from Oracle Join query then Multiple IDOCs to be created. Per row one IDOC.
You can do this just by changing the Occurance of IDOC
Export the XSD structure of imported IDOC from IR and modify the occurance of IDOC field as below example
<xsd:element name="IDOC" type="ZTEST_IDOC.ZIDOC" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
Then Import the xsd file as external defination and use it directly in mapping.
It will create the multiple idocs with mapping Row field of Oracle structure to IDOC field
Thanks

How to embed PDF document to a view in WDJ?

Hi， experts，
I have a PDF document for helping user to use a software product. I want to embed it to a view through interactiveform in web dynpro for java so that other users may read the PDF document. I don't how to implement it?
Do you give me some hint?
Best regards,
tao

Hi,
One quick question, where have you stored the PDF? is it in MIMEs folder ?
You have 1 of these 2 options to choose:
1. Get the PDF data in Byte format, fetch the absolute URL and display it in an iFrame UI Element.
2. Set the property of Adobe Interactive form UI elemets property -
mode = usePDF Mode (This mode value does not change the original PDF document. The data source and the template for the creation of the PDF document are ignored)
pdfSource = Path to the context element containing the PDF document.

How to pass a document as an attachment to a BPEL process?

Hi Guys,
Currently I have a BPEL process that get's invoked from a JSP page with some scriplets in it. The following bit of code calls the BPEL process in the JSP scriplet:
try{
String givenNames = request.getParameter("givenNames");
String sex = request.getParameter("sex");
String title = request.getParameter("title");
String staffMemberInd = request.getParameter("staffMemberInd");
String deceasedInd = request.getParameter("deceasedInd");
String archiveExclusionInd = request.getParameter("archiveExclusionInd");
String archiveDt = request.getParameter("archiveDt");
String purgeExclusionInd = request.getParameter("purgeExclusionInd");
String purgeDt = request.getParameter("purgeDt");
String birthDt = request.getParameter("birthDt");
String salutation = request.getParameter("salutation");
String preferredGivenName = request.getParameter("preferredGivenName");
String emailAddr = request.getParameter("emailAddr");
String autoEnableInd = request.getParameter("autoEnableInd");
String xml = "<AddUserProcessRequest xmlns=\"http://xmlns.oracle.com/callistaAddUser\">"
+"<surname>"+surname+"</surname>"
+"<givenNames>"+givenNames+"</givenNames>"
+"<sex>"+sex+"</sex>"
+"<title>"+title+"</title>"
+"<staffMemberInd>"+staffMemberInd+"</staffMemberInd>"
+"<deceasedInd>"+deceasedInd+"</deceasedInd>"
+"<archiveExclusionInd>"+archiveExclusionInd+"</archiveExclusionInd>"
+"<archiveDt>"+archiveDt+"</archiveDt>"
+"<purgeExclusionInd>"+purgeExclusionInd+"</purgeExclusionInd>"
+"<purgeDt>"+purgeDt+"</purgeDt>"
+"<birthDt>"+birthDt+"</birthDt>"
+"<salutation>"+salutation+"</salutation>"
+"<preferredGivenName>"+preferredGivenName+"</preferredGivenName>"
+"<emailAddr>"+emailAddr+"</emailAddr>"
+"<autoEnableInd>"+autoEnableInd+"</autoEnableInd>"
+"</AddUserProcessRequest>";
Locator locator = new Locator("default","bpel");
IDeliveryService deliveryService = (IDeliveryService)locator.lookupService(IDeliveryService.SERVICE_NAME);
// construct the normalized message and send to Oracle BPEL Process Manager
NormalizedMessage nm = new NormalizedMessage( );
nm.addPart("payload" , xml );
NormalizedMessage res = deliveryService.request("AddUser", "process", nm);
Map payload = res.getPayload();
Element partEl = (Element) payload.get("payload");
In my BPEL process I have a human task that I want to attach a document (WORD, PDF etc) to.
My question is, how can I attach and pass a document as an input parameter to my BPEL process? and what kind of element do I need to create in the XSD file to hold the attached document?
Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Edited by: user9972209 on Aug 31, 2008 10:57 PM

In our application, an attachment surfaces in the middle of the lifecycle, but not from the start.
We were using the following to accommodate the attachment as the part of the payload ...
<xsd:element name="AttachementMimeType" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="AttachmentMIMEStream" type="xsd:string"/>
Hope this helps.

Hi,
The documents are uploaded from WDJ to Portal Server / Portal Content Directory / Some Shared Drive .
So that they can also be programmed such a way that they can be fetched whenever needed .
The requirement is interesting but before you take step think how far it is feasible .

How to pass row values through OpenDocument Hyperlink

Hi all,
I should pass through an OpenDocument hyperlink the value of a particular row of my report. No problems about the OpenDocument syntax and about the other parameters that come from prompt answers, but I don't know how to pass only the value of that particular row. This value doesn't come from a prompt.
So for example if the column of my report was "Account number" and the 1° row of the column that comes from the query was "123456", I should pass only the account number "123456" to the linked document.
Moreover, I have to create the hyperlink on the "Account number" column.
Hoping having been clear...
Thanks in advance,
Riccardo

Hi Stratos,
Thanks for the reply but I have not understood very well.
I try to explain better my issue, making an example of the problem in Open doc syntax
http://aaaaa.bbbbb.com:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=12345&..............&lsSParam1=()&lsSParam2=()&lsSParam3=()
The problem is in the 3° paramater. This parameter is not a user response variable, it comes from an object projected in the report. The object is a numeric type.
The aim is to pass to the 2° report exactly the content of the cell of the 3° parameter, dinamically (I mean depending on the cell selected by the user).
Thanks.
Regards,
Riccardo

How to view PDF documents with my problem

I have Imac OS and since downloading and installing Adobe Reader this week, I am unable to open PDF documents. I get a box which states "before
viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the
browser". How do a accept the End User License Agreement?

Open Reader by itself (look for its icon in the Applications folder, and double click on it), this should show you the EULA.

How to view PDF documents because say you must launch adobe reader and accept the end user license

I have a question about to display the PDF documents, could you tell me how can I display it?, I have this message that say before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser

I've got the same issue and I want to use Preview to read pdfs on Safari. At some point I had Acrobat Reader installed, but deleted it and everything associated with it. However no matter what, I get: "Before launching pdf documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the end user license agreement, then quit and relaunch the browser."
This means I am forced to use Reader, when I don't want to. There seems no way to default to Preview to read pdfs on Safari, even after deleting Adobe Reader completely.
Anyone have a clue how to fix this?

Open PDF document through JavaFX

Hello All,
I want to open pdf document when user clicks on "Help" link in JavaFX. PDF document is usually locally stored on user's machine.
How I can achieve this ?
thnx in advance,
Venky

Will it work for Linux ?No, of course.
I think you must do something like:
var params = [ 'cmd', '/c', pdfFilePath ]; on Windows
var params = [ 'open', pdfFilePath ] on Mac
var params = [ 'gnome-open', pdfFilePath ] on Linux with Gnome
var params = [ 'kde-open', pdfFilePath ] on Linux with KDE
then your Runtime.getRuntime().exec(params);
You can catch exceptions if you are not sure of the platform (particularly Gnome vs. KDE): if raised, try something else...
That's how Processing does its open() function. (Untested in JavaFX...)
