Hyperlinks in Interactive ADOBE Forms

308 Views

Dear experts,

I have a scenario of INTERACTIVE ADOBE FORM in ABAP WEBDYNPRO wherein Attachments have to be stored for a given form and these forms would be archived in a shared folder after a complete workflow lifecycle .

Initially, we implemented the handling of attachments using the 'ATTACHMENT' tab in the ADOBE form itself and storing these attachments as xStrings in GOS. This worked really well until recently where the attachment sizes increased from a few KB to many MBs . The form processing got extremely slow leading to unacceptable performance.

This called for the approach of using hyperlinks to attachments on a network folder to be added to the form by the users while data entry itself.

I am unaware as to how can we open a text field to accept hyperlinks which can then be stored ina backend table, so that they can be fetched and updated in the form at a later stage during the subsequent workflow steps?

Any inputs on this would be of gret help..

I searched the forum for queries but none were really helpful. Please help me out with this issue..

Regards,

Amith
