Save the signed PDF

[sreenadh_mv]

Dear Experts,

Is there any way to get the changed content of Adobe document using ABAP ?

Like I have some interactive fields(suppose a signature Field) included in my Adobe form and displayed using FP function modules. Later user fills the content. Now is it possible through ABAP to get the updated PDF content?

Please help.

regards

sree.

Hi Sandra,

Thanks for your quick reply.

My requirement was to display an online interactive form using ABAP as said I will display the form using the FP function modules then the user signs the document, now I need to access/Save this signed document.

Is this possible from ABAP?

In FP-PDF_TEST_03 we are giving the PDF data to the object but in my case I should get access to the signed document so that I can pass it to the PDF object. If access to it is not possible then at least can I save the PDF programatically in to application server and proceed further.

Please help.

No. After the user has filled the form, you can run FP_PDF_TEST_03 which reads the fields entered in the form, and writes them to an xml.

Yes you can write any file to the application server, but what do you mean by "proceed further"?

Dear Sandra,

Many thanks for your quick reply. I will make myself more clear in the requirement.

After user fills the form how can I get the updated form? I don't want him to upload manually the form like the offline scenario.

I will show him the form then he signs now this signed document need to be validated i.e. the online scenario.

"Proceed further" means just I needed the signature information details. In offline scenario user will upload the signed document and then I can get the signed information now I require this to happen immediately like he signs then I need the signed data for the information.

Please help.

So you have to use web dynpro abap. Look at threads, blogs, etc., which explain how it works

Dear Sandra,

Thanks for your posts...

I have worked it through Webdynpro ABAP but was trying to get it through ABAP, as the performance of it was very slow in WDA.

Anyways can we use SSF function modules for this purpose like the programs SSFSDEMO e.t.c??

Will there be any problems if used??

Please reply.

If you don't use WDA, I think the only solution is to use SOA when user clicks buttons so that to interact.

Search SOA posts in the forum/blogs, and if you don't find anything, post a new question (with an appropriate title so that to get appropriate answers).
