Generate Adobe File from J2EE container

[maniksaha]

Hi,

In the NW environment, I have an EJB which I want to use and generate a PDF document from some XDP and XML files. Is there a service available to do it (in the background without WebDynpro?)

Likewise, if a user submits a form, can we call some service to extract out the XML file from the Adobe form?

Which libraries should be used.

Thanks in advance,

Manik

Hi Manik,

As a matter af fact the only way to generate a PDF (from XDP and XML) is with the PDFObjectAPI that is available trough the WedDynpro Service.

So you do not need to have WD application for generation of PDF, but you definitely need to have a reference in your EAR (application-j2ee-engine.xml) to WD runtime to be able to access the API.

Reference: strong or weak

provider: sap.com

type: service

ref-name: webdynpro

Do not use reference tc/wd/webdynpro as this is reference for designtime only, and will not work at run time.

There will be a demo regarind this topic here on SDN on July/19, take a look to Events -> Webinars
