ADS - popup pdf not scrollable

[Former Member]

When i used ADS to generate an embedded PDF within a Webdynpro screen, the embedded PDF is scrollable.

But if I pop the PDF onto a PDF on it's own that is not embedded in a Webdynpro view, the PDF won't have scrolling, pressing the print button abilities etc!

we've considered that method but the createExternalWindow() method requires the URL of the pdf. But our pdf's URL is dynamic coz it's generated on the fly. So far, we've been unable to get the PDF's url.

Any other ideas? Or is this another bug that needs to be fixed?

I want to know that you can set the url which you mentioned to the context attribute or not.

I think you can do it.

And is it not possible for you to know the PDF file path?

If the pdf file is located at server side, you are available to use my code.

An SAP developer suggested that I change the property in the following code from true to false :

IWDWindowInfo windowInfo = (IWDWindowInfo) wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getComponentInfo().findInWindows("DisplayPDFSummSheetWindow");

IWDWindow window = wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getWindowManager().createWindow(windowInfo, false);

wdContext.currentPopupElement().setWindowInstance( window );

window.setWindowSize( 800, 600 );

window.setWindowPosition(50, 50);

window.open();

STILL DOESN'T WORK.

Would loading the PDF in another separate browser window solve the problem?

The method createExternalWindow requires an URL for the PDF. How do I get the PDF's URL?
