How print smartform with pictures in PDF document from WEBUI

[Former Member]

Hello.

I have extension class "cl_bsp_wd_view_controller" to "Zcl_bsp_wd_view_controller",  where implemented "PrintForm.htm".

Into "PrintForm.htm"(Pic. 1*) I create smartform(Pic. 1*), convert otf = (Pic. 2*) and fill data "if_http_response" (Pic. 3*).

If installed "Acrobat.Reader" or earlier, it's not working - picture isn't displayed

If installed "FoxitReader" - all work. But, I need, than work tith "Acrobat Reader".

How to solve this problem?

thanks.

P.S. CRM 7.0

and

Sorry for my English

Can you please elaborate the problem, when you are using Acrobat Reader the PDF file is displayed but picture in the PDF is not displayed. Is that correct?

[Former Member]

No, sorry.

If installed Acrobat Reader on my computer,

and try print from WEBUI, document not opening(Pic 4 error Adobe Reader.jpg).

If look in smartforms - all good (Pic. 5 logo smartforms.jpg),

and if Install FoxitReader all good too (Pic. 6 logo FoxitReader.jpg)

Pic 4 error Adobe Reader.jpg

Hi

You need to convert the otf returned from the smartform call to xstring and send this to the page that is rendering the smartform

<pre>

call function 'CONVERT_OTF'

      exporting

        format                      = 'PDF'

*        MAX_LINEWIDTH               = 132

*        ARCHIVE_INDEX               = ' '

*        COPYNUMBER                  = 0

      importing

        bin_filesize                = l_pdf_len

  bin_file                    = l_pdf_xstring       " binary file

      tables

        otf                         = ls_output_data-otfdata

        lines                       = lt_lines

      exceptions

        err_max_linewidth           = 1

        err_format                  = 2

        err_conv_not_possible       = 3

        err_bad_otf                 = 4

        others                      = 5

you also need to set the the content header of the page to render pdf

  _m_response->set_header_field( name  = 'content-type'

value = '

application/pdf

' ).

_m_response->set_header_field( name  = 'content-type'

                             value = 'application/pdf' ).

* some Browsers have caching problems when loading PDF format

_m_response->set_header_field(

                    name  = 'cache-control'

                    value = 'max-age=0' ).

* start PDF viewer either in the Browser or as a separate window

pdf_in_browser = abap_true.

if pdf_in_browser is initial.

   _m_response->set_header_field(

                      name  = 'content-disposition'

                   value = 'attachment; filename=adobe.pdf' ).

endif.

navigation->use_auto_submit_form( ).

* finally display PDF format in Browser

l_pdf_len = xstrlen( l_pdf_xstring ).

_m_response->set_data( data   = l_pdf_xstring

                     length = l_pdf_len ).

navigation->response_complete( ).

</pre>

Thanks, but all this I already have. 

I attached 3 pictures In my first post, where I showed code the same as you have.

OMG. What should I do? 😕

[former_member212653]

This looks more like problem with Adobe Acrobat reader. Have tried any other version of Acrobat Reader or any other machine.

[darren_bambrick2]

Sorry, I can't access the images.

have you set your control parameters correctly ?

e.g.

ls_control_parameters-no_dialog = abap_true.
ls_control_parameters-getotf    = abap_true.

I have tried on some more computer, and used Acrobat Reader from 8 to 10 version - anywhere doesn't work.

Yes, I have this too.

Use program RSTXPDFT4 to download the Spool Request as PDF to your desktop. Check if that is opening with acrobat reader.

You can also use the given program to download the Smartform as PDF directly.

Just simply - save/open PDF document from program works correctly. But from WEB - doesn't...

Ok, thanks. I will check your variant and I answer you later...

[darren_bambrick2]

Ok, I can access the images now.  Everything looks good.

can you confirm the filename for the attachment.  you have lv_blank lv_docno.

can you change this to adobe.pdf or something like that and see does this work

I show you my part code.

I can not understand why it not work.

Hi

I copied the code into my system CRM 7 and it works.

I have a smartform that displays an image of a graph and the code worked perfectly.  I am using adobe reader 10.1.4, but I have been doing this sort of stuff for years and never had a problem with adobe reader versions.

It seems that Sourav Bhaduri is correct in saying that it is an adobe issue.  Can you re-install adobe ?

[former_member212653]

In the method response->set_data can you pass the actual l_pdf_len returned from CONVERT_OTF FM instead of calculating xstrlen again. Sometimes incorrect filesize gives such error.
