How to get editable fields in PDF

[deepnain_kundra]

Hi,

I have created a form using SFP transaction as below :

Name AAA

Roll No 10

I have created two text fields as Name and Roll No, when I run this form then I selects Print Preview option and it will display the values AAA and 10 respectively. But I am not able to edit these values.

Can anyone tell me how I can make them editable. Please help me.

Regards

Deep

The structure SFPDOCPARAMS contains a flag FILLABLE, which needs to be activated in your program.

Be aware that in SFP there is only an automatic conversion from ABAP structures to the XML in PDF, but no out-of-the-box conversion from XML back to ABAP - which is what you normally need in the interactive scenario. Use the forms integration into the Web Dynpro framework, as this framework provides the transformation both ways.

Hi Markus,

Thanks for your information.

Please let me know if I am understanding it not wrong that we cannot have editable ie. interactive form using SFP transaction, only static form is achieveable. To achieve interactive form we have to develop the application in Webdyn Pro either in Java or ABAP.

Waiting of your response.

Hi Deep

technically, it is possible (see above), but you will have to manually write transformations for the (XML-based) data entered by the end user in the form if you want to transfer this data back into the (ABAP-stuctures-based) backend - which is really the whole point of an interactive scenario.

If you use Web Dynpro, you get the transformation 'for free'.

Hope this helps,

Markus
