PDF uploaded into webdynpro application successfully, but unable to open it

[Former Member]

Dear colleagues,

We have developed a webdynpro appllication in which there is a functionality to add attachments from our local file to the WD applicaiton and save it. Now the error is that we are able to upload the attachmnets successfully and save it, but when we try to view the file which we upload from the WD application, it gives error message and we are unable to view it. For example, I have PDF form which was uploaded successfully into the WD application and save it. Later when I try to open the PDF form to view it(from the WD application), the adobe reader is opened, but gives error message 'There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired' and we could not view the contents of the file. Please help me in this regard.

Note: The PDF file has no errors before uploading into the WD application. Similar kind of error is shown for other file formats also - like *.docx, *.xlsx, *.pdf, *.docm, *.ppt, *.pptx etc.

Please suggest us how to overcome this error.

Thanks in advance.

Vijay

Two things :

1. Where are you saving the file?

2. What is the datatype of the data field ?

This will really help us. Also,post the code which you used to view the file.

Warm regards,

Hi Vijay,

Check the standard web dynpro example for displaying a pdf. " WDR_TEST_ADOBE_PDF_ONLY "

Hi Vijay,

I too had a same requirement.I used FILE UPLOAD UI Element to upload PDF file and for Dowload FILE DOWNLOAD UI Element .If u want to view the PDF file in the Web Dynpro View you can use INTERACTIVE FORM UI Element.

In case you use the File Download UI-Element, make sure the MIME-Type is set to 'PDF'.

Hi Vijay,

are you using business document service to upload the file? There are BAPIs available to save and read the business documents. we used the same concept in our WDA to save and read the attachements to equipment master ie use can see the attachment in IE03 created via WD application and from another WDA, user can read it.

provide more info about ur application.

Thanks,

Chandra
