Hello,

i wrote a Report, which Uploads a PDF and stores it in an internal table.

Is there a way to preview this internal table as a PDF again, without saving it to my Computer?

i used

cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog

for selecting the PDF and

cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload

to uploading and savng into an internal table.

Maybe you can use the ICM Server cache for this: load the PDF into the server cache and call the generated link via cl_gui_services=>execute.

Via the HTML Viewer control for instance. There's a demo program RSDEMO_HTML_VIEWER which displays an HTML. It's the same thing for PDF, except that the MIME type is application/pdf (and PDF is a "binary" format, not a text format). You may also see another example in the function module SCWB_NOTE_DISPLAY_PDF which displays the SAP notes in PDF format (transaction SNOTE).
