Form Actions in WebDynpro based Interactive PDF forms

[Former Member]

Hello,

I would like to know if there is a way to emulate the behavior of IWDLinkToAction in an Interactive PDF form. The scenario is like this. I've a table with a set of data in a <b>WebDynpro</b> Application. I would like to provide a link in every row, and when the user selects / clicks a specific link I would like to load the details of the corresponding item below the table.

Thanks,

Bala

Hi Bala,

To be sure I understand correctly: the table is a part of the webdynpro screen and you want the details to appear in your PDF form, under the table, when clicking on the link contained in the table?

You can assign to the click an action enabling the visibility of the PDF and bind your WD context to the PDF datasource. Otherwise you can dynamically populate the datasource you've built for display in your PDF.

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Allright, so you want you details to be displayed within your form ?

This will imply scripting (hiding or displaying details and subforms). The FormCalc reference guide is available on <a href="http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=330467">the Adobe website.</a> For the generated link, try reusing the ones generated by your webdynpro application.

To avoid performance issues, consider also to dynamically build and populate the webdynpro context you send to your pdfsource.

Hello,

To be very precise, my requirement is like this. Click on the opportunity number (available in a table in PDF form) and show the opportunity details below the table (by executing a RFC) in the PDF form. In this, I wanted to know if we can Emulate the behaviour of IWDLinkToAction UI element of WD using some other UI controls in the PDF form.
