Open PDF-File in WEBGUI ?

Former Member — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 15:41:02 GMT

hi there,

i have business documents in PDF-format.

i am opening it in ABAP with

CALL METHOD cl_bds_document=>display

this works perfect for SAP WINGUI, acrobat reader is opened with the document.

BUT: i have to use my abap in SAP WEBGUI.

there i only get the info 'xxxxxx bytes downloaded' and NO acrobat reader is opened. it seems

that the document is only downloades somewhere.

any ideas ? i need to open the document

reg, Martin

This takes pdf data and shows it in browser.

you have to use two methods one load data and other show_url.

i am not sure in your case how to capture that pdf data..

**-Load PDF Data
*  call method cl_htmlviewer->load_data
*    EXPORTING
*      type                 = v_application
*      subtype              = v_pdf
*      size                 = v_numbytes
*    IMPORTING
*      assigned_url         = v_url
*    CHANGING
*      data_table           = lt_pdf
*    EXCEPTIONS
*      dp_invalid_parameter = 1
*      dp_error_general     = 2
*      cntl_error           = 3
*      others               = 4.
*
*
*  call method cl_htmlviewer->show_url   "data
*    EXPORTING
*      url                    = v_url
*      in_place               = ' '
*    EXCEPTIONS
*      cntl_error             = 1
*      cnht_error_not_allowed = 2
*      cnht_error_parameter   = 3
*      dp_error_general       = 4
*      others                 = 5.

hi,

i have tried out with the following code:

but at the end nothing is displayed in webgui, the abap runs trough 'empty'

IF cl_htmlviewer IS INITIAL.

      CREATE OBJECT my_container
        EXPORTING
          container_name = 'HTML'.

      CREATE OBJECT cl_htmlviewer
        EXPORTING
          parent = my_container.

    ENDIF.


    CALL METHOD cl_htmlviewer->load_data
      EXPORTING
         type                 = 'APPLICATION'
        subtype              = 'pdf'
      IMPORTING
        assigned_url         = gf_url
      CHANGING
        data_table           = gt_content
      EXCEPTIONS
        dp_invalid_parameter = 1
        dp_error_general     = 2
        cntl_error           = 3
        OTHERS               = 4.

    CALL METHOD cl_htmlviewer->show_url   "data
      EXPORTING
        url                    = gf_url
        in_place               = 'X'
      EXCEPTIONS
        cntl_error             = 1
        cnht_error_not_allowed = 2
        cnht_error_parameter   = 3
        dp_error_general       = 4
        OTHERS                 = 5.
