How can I get XSTRING of a pdf in WD4A in coding?

[Former Member]

Now, what I have are a form, a interface(created in WD automatically) and data in context. With the interactiveform UI element I can get a xstring with above things. But here is the question, how can I get a xstring in coding directly, which is the same as the xstring created by interactiveform ui element? Is it necessary to develop another interface?

Create a Context Attribute of type xString

and bind it to the PDFSource property of the interactive form.

When you use, WD submit to SAP button on the form, you will get the xstring returned by the form in the attribute bound to the pdfsource property.

Originally, I have a pdf showing in the WD view and offer users to download it. But now, it doesn't need to be show. What I want is only a pdf xstring and make it a attachment.I have all the things such as interface ,pdf form, which I used originally, I wonder how can I get the xstring with prefill data directly with as little as possible work.

Must I use the job open ...call PDF function...job close? If to do so, do I need to create a new interface or something?
