PDF form generation on Webdynpro Application

Hi
I have an ABAP Webdynpro application with 8 tabs. As per the functionality, all the data entered by the user on these 8 screens has to be displayed in a PDF form as well as in an excel sheet in a defined format. Also the Adobe Lifecycle Designer is not available. How can this requirement be implemented.
One way is to use the smart form Object and integrate it with Webdynpro.
Please suggest how can such a functionlity be achieved.
Smriti Kapur

Hi Smriti,
Are you using an ALV grid in your application? if so, there should be a 'Print version' button that, when ADS is configured correctly, should produce the PDF version of the Document.
Read these two blog entries:

Thanks,

Print functionality using PDF form in a webdynpro application

Hello! All
Currently, we have a webdynpro application and we need to provide the print feature to print the content of the iview display on IE browser. We try the File-> print feature provide by Microsoft through IE but this doesn't work. We are looking for any other option like print to pdf form. We don't know if it is possible. Is there any tutorial, help or anything that can help us to print to pdf form. Please share any other suggestion, comment and it will be much appreciated. Thank you very much.

Hi,
The content (which is a pdf content) can be exported as a PDF from a WD Application. For this you can use File Download control whose source is in the form of bytes (which is PDF content).
Do you have the PDF content already generated?
If so it is very easy to generate PDF from WD.
If you need further help, kindly let us know.
Thanks and regards

An exception occurred which is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_WD_GENERAL', was not caught and
therefore caused a runtime error.
The reason for the exception is:
WebDynpro Exception:
The occurrence of the exception is closely related to the occurrence of
a previous exception "CX_FP_RUNTIME_SYSTEM", which was raised in the program
"CL_FP_PDF_OBJECT==============CP",
specifically in line 255 of the (include) program

Passing value from Adobe Interactive form, to the Webdynpro Application

Hi,
I have followed all the tutorials on interactive forms in WD for Java, & am able to successfuly display my context data in an interactive form.
However, i need help with the following:
1. Online scenario:
User has filled details in an interactive form & clicks on the submit button.
The Data from the form is NOT getting passed back to the WebDynpro application.
2. Offline Scenario:
User has filledup a pdf file(form), & has uploaded the form to the webdynpro application, using the file-upload UI element.
How do i read the data that the user has entered in that pdf file?
Any help with regard to these two queries, will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Hanoz

1) Online Scenario
check if the context mapping between UI elements and Context is properly done
check if the cardinality of the Context is alright.
2) Offline Scenario
you will have two views.
one upload view
and one interactive form view
in the upload view use the File Upload UI element.
in the Interactive Form View.... use the same view which you used to create the offline form, thus the interactive form UI element will already know the structure of data and the context mapping in the pdf file when you upload it.
Add the following line of code to the
method wdDoInit.
wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute
("pdfObject").getModifiableSimpleTyp
e();
Add the following line of code right
before
wdThis.wdFirePlugOutToDisplay()
in the method onActionShowForm().
wdThis.wdGetTravelRequestCompControl
ler().wdGetContext().currentContextE
lement().setPdfObject(wdContext.curr
entContextElement().getPdfObject());
in the interactive form view, change the property of the interactive form.... MODE to usePdf.

PDF Forms embedded in Webdynpro Java - Can eCATT recognize???

Hi All,
Will eCATT be able to identify the PDF forms embedded in Webdynpro Java applications.....
Thanks in Advance

I think it will not. I am almost sure it will not. Any new complex screens are a challenge to eCATT. Flash, Flex and sometimes even trees.

Embedding an existing Adobe Form into a Webdynpro Application

Hi Everyone,
I have an existing adobe form created thro transaction SFP and its working well.
I need to launch the form with a Webdynpro application now. I was able to embed the adobe form into the Webdynpro View. The View's context is supposed to pick up the context of the adobe form automatically.
However I am getting the following error - Either your Interactive form UI element is not bound to a context or a corresponding context does not exist.
I am not sure how to proceed coz the I executed the Adobe from in SFP and its working perfectly and obviously its bound to a context/ interface.
Any Ideas?
thanks for your suggestions in advance !
Liz

Pradeep,
You are right. This time I could bind the context from my interface (even though it was ABAP based).
I have one quick one for you - you mentioned earlier that when we embed an existing form into Web. View, we cannot have an Interactive form even when we check the 'enabled' property. Can you throw more light onto this pls?
The runtime error that i am encountering now says :
Adobe Processing Exception: PDF is not interactive. Data can be only imported into Interactive forms.
the source text of error is:
get result
m_pdf_object->get_document ( importing pdfdata = pdf ).
catch cx_fp_exception into lr_fpexc.
raise exception type cx_wd_general
exporting
previous = lr_fpexc
and this exception is not caught ! I am still lost
thanks again for your help!

TABLE DATA in PDF FORM Through ABAP WEBDYNPRO

Hi Friends,
I have to Populate SAP TABLE like MARA,VBRK table into PDF form throught ABAP Webdynpro.
Can you send STEP by STEP Example Doc.
Thanks In Advance.
Gautam.

Hi,
To display the Table in the Adobe Form you must create a WebDynpro Context.
In WebDynpro Context, in the main node create another node like A1 with cardinality 0..n and in this node create attributes FIELD1 and FIELD2 and so on.
Now goto method and in that method using code wizard read the node A1.
And use the below code snippet sample in your program, i.e. code this under respective method of the webdynpro.
*Declare the TYPES
TYPES : BEGIN OF TY_TABLE,
FIELD1 TYPE SOMETYPE,
FIELD2 TYPE SOMETYPE,
END OF TY_TABLE.
*Define Internal Table and work area.
DATA : IT_TABLE TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TY_TABLE INITIAL SIZE 0.
SELECT FIELD1 FIELD2 FROM TABLENAME INTO TABLE IT_TABLE.
lr_node_info->bind_table( IT_TABLE ).
And now goto Layout and give the TemplateSource and after that it asks for the interface name fill on that and select the relevant context. Now the LiveCycle Designer opens. There goto DataView pallette, there you can see the context of the webdynpro, now you simply drag and drop that table, a table is being created in the Layout Designer.

Display Smartform Pdf output in ABAP Webdynpro application

Hello,
there is a solution for displaying Smartform output in Java Webdynpro application in this forum. Since i want to start an project in ABAP Webdynpro i need a solution for this technology since i don't want to recreate all the paperwork again using Adobe. Is there any solution available?
Thanks
Udo Ahle

Hello,
this is the solution which i was able to implement using the hints given by Heidi and Thomas. Thank you for the support. With this solution it is possible to reuse oldstyle sapscripts and smartforms in todays environment. Here is the sample code which solves the problem:
In WDA you define for example a pushbutton to start the display of the PDF.
In the onaction method you implement:
method ONACTIONSHOW_PDF .
data LX_pdf type xstring.
* get PDF from existing sapscript or smatform
call function 'Y_PDF_GET' destination '46c'
    IMPORTING
      ex_PDF = LX_PDF.
* append the pdf to the response
cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response(
    i_filename = 'Hello.PDF'
    i_content   = lx_pdf
    i_mime_type = 'application/pdf'
    i_in_new_window = 'X'
    i_inplace       = 'X' ).
endmethod.
The function 'Y_PDF_GET' is implemented as follows:
FUNCTION Y_PDF_GET .
*"*"Local interface:
*" EXPORTING
*"     VALUE(EX_PDF) TYPE XSTRING
*" TABLES
*"      ET_OTF STRUCTURE ITCOO OPTIONAL
data: lf_filesize type i,

        lt_lines type table of tline,
        tline type tline.
* start sapscript or smatforms and return
perform make_otf.
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_OTF_FROM_MEMORY'
    TABLES
      OTF                = lt_otf
   EXCEPTIONS
     MEMORY_EMPTY       = 1
     OTHERS             = 2

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

ENDIF.

data l1 type i.
data len type i.
data maxline type i value 134.
l1 = 0.
loop AT lt_lines INTO tline.
    clear st.
    st+l1(maxline) = tline.
    len = maxline + l1.
    l1 = maxline - strlen( tline ).
    ASSIGN st TO <x> TYPE 'X'.
    CONCATENATE ex_pdf <x>(len) INTO ex_pdf.
endloop.
ENDFUNCTION.
The make_otf for sapscript is the following:
* the next attribute enables the otf output.

For Smartforms technology it is possible to implement the same concept.

Problems with PDF report generation on WEB application

Hi friends.
I have the following problem.
I heve many reports running on a client/server system. But we decide to move one by one, the menu options of the system to the WEB, using iAS. Most of the reports works just fine, but some of them works wrong.
But I am not talking about the data or something like that, I am talking about the layout format. All of them out a grey rectangle in all the pages of the PDF reports. The report doesn't have any color inside, but when we move the file, to the UNIX server and test it, it is generated not in a white normal report but grey and white colors.
anyone have an idea what is it happend?
thank you folks....
abdel.

Directly print PDF form in WebDynpro ABAP

Hello folks,
one little question.
Is it possible to directly print an PDF form in an WebDynpro Abap Application?
Thanks,
Alex

I don´t understand your question. You don´t provide much information.
You have 2 options:
1) write a printing program (like non-WDA form etc.) and run it in background
2) tell user to use the Reader embedded in WDA window to print his/her form

How to call pdf forms developed in ABAP from WD Java application?

Hi
I have a web dynpro ABAP application that that is responsible for generating PDF forms for all other applications (WD ABAP and WD Java).
How can I call the pdf forms generated by the WD ABAP application from WD Java application in a separate window?
These forms are to be called on click of a "Print" button. Also, these forms are non interactive.
Kindly let me know if you need any other information.
Regards
Vineet Vikram
Edited by: vineet vikram on Jun 24, 2009 7:28 AM

in addtion to Nikhil's response. you can write following code on action of print button:
    IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.
        getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(
              "<ABAP Application URL>",
              "<Title for window>",
              false);
   window.open();
to Close the application, you can use the window close or u can fire an event to close current window.

Fill out a pdf form from ADF application

Hi
I need to fill out a PDF form, from my ADF application and i want to know if exist a component or libarary to do this.
i hope you can help me

Hi,
two options are:
Oracle BI Publisher (by far best choice but needs to be licenced)
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/vohra-jdev-xmlpub.html
Jasper Reports, Free but not as functional or easy to use as BIP
http://jasperforge.org/projects/jasperreports
Both products have Java API's which you can integrate with your application.
