If possible can any body give me the procedure how we can do it.

Thanks And Regards,

Sure you can call a smartform in WebDynpro (ABAP):

This is the procedure:

1. Create your smartform (if not already available).

2. Create a view in which smartform should be displayed.

3. Insert interactive form UI element for smartform to be displayed in.

4. In method WDDOINIT (for example), retrieve the FM for the smartform.

5. Call function module for smartform (set control parameter getotf to 'X' and no_dialog also to 'X'. Set device type).

6. In import parameter job_output_info-otfdata the pdf is contained.

7. call FM CONVERT_OTF to convert to pdf format.

8. Now the bin_file will be returned (import parameter).

9. Use this data to set the attribute of the smartform UI element.

Example coding:

METHOD wddoinit.

  DATA:
    node_diamond_data   TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
    elem_diamond_data   TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,

hi Micky,

What i have ti specify the interactive form property templatesource.

regards,

sreelatha gullapalli.

[Sm1tje]

you don't need to specify the template source in this case since you are not calling any interactive online/offline Adobe Form (at least, that is not what read in your requirement), but merely a smartform. You only need to define the datasource in the context and use the XSTRING type.

[sreelatha_gullapalli]

hi Micky,

That problem got resolved but while executing it is not showing the smartform it is showing the following message

File does not begin with '%PDF-'.

can you please give me the solution.

regards,

sreelatha gullapalli

[Sm1tje]

there are a few threads about this, just search SDN with 'File does not begin with '%PDF-'. I really don't know what causes this problem, but in the threads you will find, there are several solutions offered. So I would suggest to do a search and have a look at the threads.

Good luck.
