For example:

Hi Sachin,

I don't get the point. What do you have at the moment. Is the PDF generated from your SAP-System? There is a lot content avialable, which explains how to handle those data. When the pdf is not from your system generated, where does it come from and why don't you get a xml-version from the beginning.

FP_PDF_TEST_03 is extracting data from a form.

Hi Florian,

Thank you!

Sorry for the late response.

Actually my requirement is, I have a some Adobe forms in one SAP system now as we are moving some functionalities to a new SAP system. I have to update some fields in the PDF from the new system.

The approach I was following is this: Make forms interactive and get the RAWSTRING of pdf. Send the RAWSTRING data to new SAP system via IDOC. Convert the rawstring to XML update the necessary fields.

But I was unable to convert it to readable XML format. I have checked FP_PDF_TEST_03 program for my requirement but the XML has only field names not the values.

Can you please let me know how I will get the values in XML?

Regards,

Sachin

The editor has a tab allowing you to examine the XML directly. You can even edit it.
