[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I want to display ABAP reports in portal, if I create Transactional iView ,being My Clients Customers are not SAP savvy, my client is not interested in SAP Reports. So I Developed Portal JSP Dynpage Application using JCA. I am able to show the RFC's Table data in my jspdynpage in htmlb table with default Tableviewmodel. Now the Requirement is if the user clicks the print button program has to generate pdf document with Table data. Please help me in acheiving this. or please suggest me any other options for displaying the reports in portal. one more consideration my client don't want to use BW.

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

Please refer to the following document , you can generate a PDF using JSPdynpage , SAP does provide the api to that

Hi Pankaj,

I think this is the perfect answer for the question, I started developing the prototype with your solution.

I got only concern, will there be any licensing issues, if we use the libraries from iText. please let me know any issues for using them in production portal.

Thanks!

Hi Srinivas,

To be on a safer side

1) You should consult the same with the Clients

2) Check the itext website if they have any clause realted to it.If you clearly says "This library is free and I want it to stay free: you can use it without paying a fee; you don't need to register anywhere. Only keep in mind that agreeing with the license is crucial to protect the software, its developers and its users" ..so should not be a problem.

Thanks

Hi Srinivas,

Why not use Web Dynpro(Java or ABAP).

Adobe integration is quite easy there. Alternatively Adobe provides API for creating Adobe forms.

But I will suggest Go with Web Dynpro.
