Generating Print Preview of report in PDF

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I need to generate a print preivew of a report output in PDF. When the report is executed, it displays the output. On the status bar, there is a button. When the user clicks on this button, instead of downloading the report in PDF, the report should be displayed in PDF format. Can anyone explain how this can be achieved?

regards,

Hamza

It is about displaying smartform output as pdf in web dynpro.

in the code given there is a method display pdf, try writing ur report code inside it and see if it gets displayed as pdf.

Not sure if it would work but can give it a try.
