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
