And i am using webdynpro application to get the details of emplyee by passing pernr.
i created a view. in this, and i attached every thing interface context. And in methos tab, wddoinit method i wrote code like this...
DATA pernrid TYPE PERNR-PERNR.  "tdobname.
  DATA temp TYPE c.
  DATA: p_connect_info TYPE TOAV0,
        wa_p_connect_info TYPE TOAV0,

  lo_el_z_if_test_cv->set_static_attributes(
    EXPORTING
      static_attributes = ls_z_if_test_cv ).
But here the problem is when i executed this application i am able to see the VORNA and NACHN fields in ADOBE Form. But the employee photo is not appearing in adobe form.
Here employee photo i amretreving from archive link.
Even i set the Imagefield property URL in Adobe forms.  i.e $record.IM_PHOTO.
Any solutions regarding this...
Regards,
Shankar.

Hi Shankar,
according to the sap documentation (inserting a graphic), I could imagine the following problems
1.) image file type is not supported (-> "see the online help in Adobe LiveCycle Designer under Defining Object Properties ® Image Fields ® About Image Fields" )
when you use "Graphic Reference"
2.) url could not be accessed.(-> "This means that you may have to configure appropriate access rights for Adobe Document Services (ADS)" ).
Maybe this will help you finding the problem.
