View PDF without saving

former_member609989 — Tue, 17 Dec 2019 12:01:23 GMT

Good day all.I am combining data I read from the database with a PDF. I then view the filled in PDF using cl_gui_html_viewer. It seems I have to save the filled in PDF to my desktop before I can view it. Is there a way to view the filled in PDF without saving it?

    CALL METHOD pdf_html_control->load_data
    EXPORTING
      url          = i_url
        size         = l_len
      type         = 'application'
      subtype      = 'pdf'
    IMPORTING
      assigned_url = l_url
    CHANGING
      data_table   = l_pdf_data
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS       = 1.

This is the code of the SP02, display PDF spool. There is no file

My implementation saves a file...then loads and displays. Can you point me to an example which I can take a look at? Thanks. Mat.

Mathew Laba Here is a Minimal Reproducible Example:

PARAMETERS dummy.
DATA go_html_viewer TYPE REF TO cl_gui_html_viewer.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
  IF go_html_viewer IS NOT BOUND.
    DATA: l_url   TYPE cndp_url,
          l_text  TYPE string.

    l_text = '<html><body><b>hello</b> <i>world</i></body></html>'.

    go_html_viewer = NEW cl_gui_html_viewer( parent = cl_gui_container=>screen0 ).

    data(soli_tab) = cl_bcs_convert=>string_to_soli( l_text ).
    go_html_viewer->load_data(
        EXPORTING type = 'text' subtype = 'html' size = strlen( l_text )
        IMPORTING assigned_url = l_url
        CHANGING  data_table = soli_tab ).

    go_html_viewer->show_url( url = l_url ).
  ENDIF.
