Web Dynpro Display PDF on Submit

Friends,
I have a requirement where I need to fetch PDF stored in table as RAWSTRING and display in Web Dynpro ABAP IFRAME container on the View
Basically user access this application , from the drop down select the value and click submit, now it should read the PDF rawstring from the table and display on the same View as a PDF. Please let me know how to proceed with it , and what is the best way to handle this.
Thanks
Krish

Hi Krish,
You can use interactiveform UI element to achieve your requirement.
Step1. Create UI element called interactiveform in ur VIEW ( may be in ur case below the dropdown and submit button ).
Step2 : On click of submit button read the selected pdf file from DB and supply it to the context node element of type XTRING ( which is mapped with the interactive form UI element of the view )
Refer wiki article in case of doubt :

Convert Web Dynpro to PDF

Hi All,
I have a requirement of converting a web dynpro form to a pdf file. The data in the web dynpro form should be written into PDF.
I have gone thru the Wroking with PDFObject tutorial.The tutorial talks abt using EJBs and converting the xml file to pdf. Is it possible for me to convert the form to XML without using EJB and then convert it to PDF.
Also, for converting the XML file to PDF, are all the pre-requisites required :
1. Adobe LiveCycle Designer
2. Active Component Framework (ACF) of the Interactive Forms
3. Adobe document services are configured on the SAP J2EE
Plz comment.

Hi,
If you have Adobe Doucment Services installed then you can do it by getting
the 'pdfResource' context value which is a byte array that contains the PDF.
If not, try using 'itext': http://www.lowagie.com/iText/

PDF Rending in Web Dynpro Unknown.pdf

I am getting a pdf document from R/3. I get the byte[] from the context node.
The num bytes returned is >0 however when I render the pdf as follows I get a black pdf document displayed and I notice that unknown.pdf the generated url.
BTW, I don't see any way to set the filename. I don't want unknown.pdf in the url.
byte[] pdfContent = wdContext.currentContextElement().getPdfDokument();
try {
IWDWebResource pdfResource = WDWebResource.getWebResource
 (pdfContent, WDWebResourceType.PDF);
wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(
 pdfResource.getURL(),"Title",
 false).open();
} catch (WDURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();

Hi Bob,
In NW2004s we use the following. getPdf() returns a byte[], the filename is "document-<username>.pdf" and source is the attribute of an IFrame UI element.
private void initPdf() {
IWDResource resource =
 WDResourceFactory.createResource(
 getPdf(),
 "document-"
 + WDClientUser.getLoggedInClientUser().getSAPUser().getUniqueName(),
 WDWebResourceType.PDF);
String source =
 resource.getUrl(WDFileDownloadBehaviour.OPEN_INPLACE.ordinal());
wdContext.currentContextElement().setSource(source);
On NW2004 we use a FileDownload UI element (with target=_self) and we call initFileBinaryType method in the wdDoInit method. Of course you still need to set the binary PdfData context attribute with the actual content of the PDF file.
private void initFileBinaryType() {
IWDModifiableBinaryType pdf =
 initFileBinaryType(IPrivateTestAppView.IContextElement.PDF_DATA);
pdf.setFileName("document-"
 + WDClientUser.getLoggedInClientUser().getSAPUser().getUniqueName());
pdf.setMimeType(WDWebResourceType.PDF);
private IWDModifiableBinaryType initFileBinaryType(String attribute) {
return (IWDModifiableBinaryType) wdContext
 .getNodeInfo()
 .getAttribute(attribute)
 .getModifiableSimpleType();
Kind regards,

Submit button from Interactive adobe form in Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi all,
We seem to be having a problem with the 'submit' button on the Interactive Form for the Web Dynpro ABAP. The submit button is from the Web Dynpro active X or web Dynpro Native in the form designer. The submit button doesn't trigger the action in Web Dynpro. we are currently running on support pack 9 for the ABAP stack. We have Internet Explorer browser version 6. Could someone tell me if there are requirements for the IE version that will work in conjunction with a particular ABAP stack version. And, are there specific IE security settings or administrative privilages required with this version of the ABAP stack. Or, any other ideas as to why this does not seem to work.
Thanks in advance,
Michelle Hong

Hi Michelle,
Could you tell me how you resolved the problem - as I'm facing exactly the same issue!
Many Thanks

Basic question on a web dynpro application

Hi All,
I am new to NWDS 2004 and I just executed my first web dynpro application that is on https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/webas/a-c/creating your first web dynpro application.pdf
I have couple of questions
1. when i click the back button the text that was entered in the Start view is visible even after I hit the back button in the result view. Can you tell me how to keep the input field empty in the start view after hitting back button?
2. After deploying the Web Dynpro application, where from the Portal, can i assign this web dynpro application to a user .
Thank you
Regards
Luke

Try putting adding this code to your onActionBack method.
public void onActionBack(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
//@@begin onActionBack(ServerEvent)
String headerText = " ";
wdContext.currentContextElement().setHeaderText(headerText);
wdThis.wdFirePlugToStartView();
//@@end

Using CSS for Web dynpro application in EP

Hi,
I have some CSS (Style sheets) which I need to apply to the portal, so that all the web dynpro applications can have the same look and feel.
I read something about Theme Editor in EP. Can I somehow use that to import the CSS contents into the EP theme?
Any pointer to using CSS for Web Dynpro applications will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Reg: Web Dynpro

Hi,
we are using SAP Netweaver 7.0 trial server in our office.
some clients are accessing that server using SAP GUI710,
at thae time using Web Dynpro Display layout there are recieving Page Expried page,because the function takes palce from localhost:8000,so it is unable to do that function.
if we chane Localhost into Ipaddress it may be work.
so kindly anybody can tell me where to change LOCALHOST in to IPADDRESS to do the Web Dynpro layout function.
Thanks & Regards,
Sudhakar N

As pointed out Adobe FlashIslands (which is a new UI element in NetWeaver 7.01) is what you want. Perhaps some additional links on the topic.

How to generate and display the pdf form as a web dynpro abap view

Hi,
 I filled the value in the table and displayed in the view,In that view i have one button"TOPDF".
 My requirement is,if i click that button,i want to display the table in the PDF output.
 For the above requirement,i created another view with interactive form,In that view i created one "pdf" Node and "soure" as a attribute of Type-xstring.Then i binded the soure attribute withe "pdfdatasoure" of my interactive form view.
 Now my doubt is how and where can i pass the table values to pdf output.
 can any body cleare my doubt with some sample code.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Ravi.

Hello Ravi,
Best would be to bind the dataSource of the InteractiveForm ui element to the parent node containing the table's data. Then specify a name of a template to be created in the templateSource and hit <enter>. Some popups later, the system will have created a template from the structure of the context. All you need to do now is to drag&drop the data structure inside the template designer to the template itself. This will result in a table. Save, activate and return the Web Dynpro view. Don't forget to unbind the pdfSource and enjoy.
Best regards,
Thomas

Display documents (jpg,doc,tff,ppt,pps,xls,pdf etc) in web dynpro

Hi experts,
                I have a requirement to upload the document of any type (jpg,doc,tff,ppt,pps,xls,pdf etc) to a Z table (may be in a binary format) in a web dynpro application.
I think this can be achieved through Fileupload view element.
In another window, I need to display the document based on what is selected in the table row. Which control or method can display any type of document? As far as I know, the office control view element can only display documents of type (.doc and .xls).
Please provide pointers on this or any example will help me.
Thanks,

After SP upgrade, pdf in web dynpro could not display dollar symbol

Dear Experts,
      We have updated the following support packages:
     SAP_BASIS 14-18
     SAP_ABA 14-18
     PI_BASIS 14-18
     SAP_BW 15-20
     SAP_AP 12-15
     EA-HR 23-61
     SAP-HR 23-61
     E-RECRUITMENT 18
     After that, Some webdynpro for abap which used PDF report has some errors, which dollar could not be displayed, which indicates some kind of error 'o'.
     We check that the pattern is of this column is from old version :num{$zzz,zzz,zz9.99} to num{($z,zzz,zz9.99)} . How could we deal with this ? And where could I find the related influence of the SP upgrade of adobe and web dynpro?
Thanks & Best Regards,

Chris,
You may be right. Also it requires some configuration in SAP KPro ( document class etc).

How to display smartform as PDF in web dynpro java

Hi,
Where can I find sample program to display smartform as PDF in web dynpro java.
Thanks.
Regards,
Henry

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

Display archive doc as pdf from web dynpro?

Hi All,
We have a situation where we want to display archived pdf's from a web dynpro. I have put an interactive form ui element on my view and bound this to an attribute of type xstring on the context.
When I run it, i get an error message saying that file does not begin with '%PDF-'. I've tried putting this on the front of the string but i didn't work either.
So can anyone tell me the process for displaying archived pdf's from a web dynpro.
Many thanks in advance,
Liz.

This is the code necessary to get it to work:
get optical archive id of pdf to display
    select single * from toahr into ls_toahr
      where sap_object = 'PREL'
        and OBJECT_ID = lv_obj_id
        and ar_object = ls_zhr_paylsip-zhr_doc_type.
    lv_archiv_id = 'H1'.
    lv_document_type = ls_toahr-ar_object.
    lv_archiv_doc_id = ls_toahr-arc_doc_id.
    lv_signature = 'X'.
    lv_compid = 'data'.
    free lt_binarchivobject.
    call function 'ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_TABLE'
      exporting
        archiv_id                      = lv_archiv_id
        document_type                  = lv_document_type
        archiv_doc_id                  = lv_archiv_doc_id
ALL_COMPONENTS                 =
       signature                      = lv_signature
       compid                         = lv_compid
     importing
       length                         = lv_length
       binlength                      = lv_binlength
     tables
       archivobject                   = lt_archivobject
       binarchivobject                = lt_binarchivobject
     exceptions
       error_archiv                   = 1
       error_communicationtable       = 2
       error_kernel                   = 3
       others                         = 4.
    if lt_archivobject[] is not initial.
      describe table lt_archivobject lines lv_rowcount.
      lv_rowcount = lv_rowcount * 1024.
      call function 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING'
        exporting
          input_length = lv_rowcount
          first_line   = 1
          last_line    = lv_rowcount
        importing
          buffer       = lv_xstring
      tables
        binary_tab   = lt_binarchivobject
      exceptions
        failed       = 1.
    endif.
Where yo bind lv_xstring to the the pdfSource via the context
