Display on WDA a SapScript in PDF format

[Former Member]

Hi all!!

I have to convert a SapScript to PDF, and then, display it on a Web Dynpro ABAP.

Somebody could guide me on this process?

Helpful answers will be rewarded.

Thanks and regards,

Manuel.

Hi,

Once you got the Script output in OTF, use the FM 'CONVERT_OTF' by exporting the format as 'PDF' and importing the PDF data in XSTRING.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'

EXPORTING

format = 'PDF'

IMPORTING

bin_filesize = lv_bin_file_size

bin_file = ev_pdf_xstr

TABLES

otf = it_otf

lines = et_otf_pdf

EXCEPTIONS

err_max_linewidth = 1

err_format = 2

err_conv_not_possible = 3

err_bad_otf = 4

OTHERS = 5.

Once you have the PDF data as XSTRING, we need to get the mimetype of PDF, so that the PDF can be downloaded in WebDynpro.

Use the FM 'SDOK_MIMETYPE_GET' to get the mimetype.

CALL FUNCTION 'SDOK_MIMETYPE_GET'

EXPORTING

extension = 'PDF'

IMPORTING

mimetype = lv_mimetype_pdf.

Then use the WDA runtime services to attach file to response.

CALL METHOD cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response

EXPORTING

i_filename = ls_filename

i_content = lv_pdf_xstr

i_mime_type = lv_mimetype_pdf

i_in_new_window = abap_false

i_inplace = abap_false.

This will prompt the user for PDF download.

Let me know if you any other questions.

Thanks,

Anand
