Display PDF from internal table

Former Member — Thu, 03 Feb 2005 16:16:58 GMT

Hello!

Is it possible to display a PDF contained in an internal table on an Enjoy control? I saw a component CL_GUI_PDFVIEWER, but it looks like it was ment only to display a PDF file stored on a workstation (or app server, whatever).

I know: I could download an internal table to a PDF file and then use CL_GUI_PDFVIEWER. However, I'd like to skip the file and do it directly.

Is there a way?

Thanks!

Kind regards,

Igor Barbaric

Hi igor,

1. Not sure, but may be this FM can help HR_IT_DISPLAY_WITH_PDF.

2. It expects the data to be OTF internal table format.

Hi Igor,

we use the function module SSFCOMP_PDF_PREVIEW to display a PDF preview. The input is the OTF stream from smartform.

Best regards

Hi, Christian,

It was so long time ago, it's strange to see such an old thread still active. Anyway, thanks for the input! Also, thanks and appologees to Amit and Per. Meanwhile, I was using the HTML control to do it. I found this code in my demos, I guess I dig it out also somewhere from SCN (it was originally showing SmartForm, but I left this part out):

DATA:

lo_html TYPE REF TO cl_gui_html_viewer,

l_url TYPE w3url,

lt_pdf_bin_onefield TYPE TABLE OF char134,

gt_pdf TYPE TABLE OF tline

lt_pdf_text TYPE TABLE OF char255.

FIELD-SYMBOLS:

<ls_pdf> LIKE LINE OF gt_pdf,

<ls_pdf_bin_onefield> LIKE LINE OF lt_pdf_bin_onefield.

* convert 2-field itab to 1-field itab

APPEND LINES OF gt_pdf TO lt_pdf_bin_onefield.

* convert binary to text table

CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_FTEXT'

EXPORTING

input_length = g_filesize

mimetype = 'application/pdf'

TABLES

binary_tab = lt_pdf_bin_onefield

ftext_tab = lt_pdf_text.

* create HTML object

CREATE OBJECT lo_html

EXPORTING

parent = cl_gui_container=>default_screen.

* load PDF data (get URL)

CALL METHOD lo_html->load_data

EXPORTING

type = 'text'

subtype = 'pdf'

IMPORTING

assigned_url = l_url

CHANGING

data_table = lt_pdf_text.

* show HTML control with PDF

lo_html->show_url( l_url ).

Cheers,

Igor

Hi Igor,

the FM does the same. It calls although a HTML container to show the PDF .

I activate this thread, because I though the answer wasn't complete. I was although looking forward to such a solution.

Best regards
