export Pdf from SAP

Former Member — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 21:06:20 GMT

I created pdf form in SFP in our Sandbox. Now I want to upload this form into the Dev.

The form is residing in Sandbox SAP. So I have somehow to move this form out of SAP.

Then I would go to Dev and use SFP (Live Cycle Designer) option to Import the form.

My question is:

How to save Pdf form on my PC in pdf format?

PS: SFP utility Downloding Form allows to save the form in xml format only.

Unfortunately Live Cycle Designer doesn't offer export option.

My Live Cycle Designer is 8.1.

Thank you very much

Tatyana

Hi,

In SFP you have both the options for downloading and uploading ...

Under Utilities -->Uploading form object

-->Downloading form Object

Hello,

create a simple transport which consists of PDF form and interface and ask for BASIS to move it manually to development system or ask for additional transport system configuration which allows you to transport objects from sandbox to development system. Go to SE03 -> Change Object Directory Entries of Objects in a Request -> enter transport number and execute->change objects system id, package user name all those options aren't mandatory.

best regards,

The below sequence of steps, it will help you SFT to PDF format....

1. CALL FUNCTION 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'

EXPORTING

i_name = <SFP FormName>

IMPORTING

e_funcname = i_funcname.

2. CALL FUNCTION i_funcname with EXPORT and IMPORT option

3. In Import, you will get values in as the below

IMPORTING

/1bcdwb/formoutput = fp_formoutput

4. pass this out fp_formoutput to below FM

CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'

5. and use the below service to get the pdf

cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download(
