Netweaver 2004 : How to create an pdf without need to use Adobe Control ?

Former Member

Dear WebDynpro experts,

in my application I use Adobe interactive forms to create a pdf document for printing purposes.

I provide it as download using the file download GUI element.

There's no need to work with the pdf document afterwards, sionce it is only needed for printouts.

If I use my application with Firefox this works great. I can download my pdf without any problem.

But if I try to use Internet explorer and wand to download the pdf I always get the message that I have

to install Adobe Control into my Internet explorer.

Is it possible to configure my application the way that I don't need the adobe control on my Internet explorer ?

Is there a better way to provide non interactive pdf documents ?

Best regards,

Daniel

Change the property of adobe interactive form

Change display type native NOT activeX*

display type = native

Dear Ruturaj,

thanks for your answer.

Unfortunately Í don't have an "display type" property for Interactive form.

I have beneath the Event and Event properties the following properties in my

property list for the Interactive Forms element :

data source

enabled

height

id

mode

pdfsource

templatesource

tooltip

visible

width

I also checked the Form Properties within the designer and didn't find a display type property.

I assume this is due to the fact I use an old version of Netweaver Developer Studio since I have

only Netweaver Developer Studio 2004 SP 20.

is there a way to switch off Active X using such a version ?

Best regards,

Daniel

Just ensure that the event buttons you are using on PDF form are of type native and not active x

Hi,

putting PDF in Iframe is one of the option but the only concern is it is a deprecated UI element.

Dear Ladislav,

thanks for your answer.

I don't fully understand the information provided by your link.

My pdf is generated by Adobe Interactive server. Is the method provided by your link a

way to use the adobe interactive server within a function module ?

What has to be done on ABAP side to generate the pdf. Can I use the same pdf template file as I used within the

Web dynpro Java ?

Best regards,

Daniel

Is it the Active X Control?

If it is then I dont think you can provide anything on code level to disable it.
