Hi ,

Insert IFrame UI Element and bind the Resource property to the value attribute PdfUrl of type String .

Define a Output parameter of type Binary in RFC .

Insert the following code to dispaly the smart form.

 
		byte[] pdfContent = wdContext.currentOutput<node>().get<Binary>();
		IWDCachedWebResource pdfResource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(pdfContent,WDWebResourceType.PDF);
		try
		{
			wdContext.currentContextElement().setPdfUrl(pdfResource.getURL());
		}
		catch(Exception e)
		{
			wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(e.getMessage(),true);	
		}

Hi ,

Ask your ABAPer to pass the smart form data to the output parameter of type XSTRING.

In Webdynpro use the code given to display the smartform in Iframe UI element.

Hi,

The webdynpro should call an ABAP function module which will process the smart form -> PDF conversion and return a binary stream as an export parameter. (use function CONVERT_OTF to convert samrt form to PDF stream)

The following sample webdynpro code is how I use to display the PDF form in a new window.

IWDCachedWebResource resource;

String fileName = "pdf_file_name"

//Get PFC web resource URL, you need the PDF stream return from ABAP RFC

resource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(wdContext.currentY_PDFElement().getPdfStream(), WDWebResourceType.PDF);

resource.setResourceName(fileName);

String PDF_URL = resource.getURL());

//Open the PDF in new window

IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(resource.getURL(), "PDF File");

window.setWindowPosition(5, 5);

window.setWindowSize(600, 600);

window.open();
