Merging one PDF and one Excel file into one PDF using Adobe Doc. Services

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We have a GP Process in the WebAS Java, the user upload one pdf file and one xsl file to the process, in some step of the process I have to convert this two files into one PDF (the excel file should be added at the end of the resulting pdf).

Can I use the AdobeDocumentServices that are deployed in the WebAs Java as WebServices to achieve this?

Do you have any other idea ?

Best regards,

Marco.

Thanks for your answer.

Anyway I would like to get more info about how does the AdobeDocumentServices Web Services that can bee seen in the wsnavigator work.

Is there any documentation about this web services ?

I was thinking of parsing the excel file using java but then using this adobe web services to converting it to pdf.

Best regards,

Marco.

I'm not 100 percent sure but I'm afraid the way you want to use this Web-service is far from what SAP/Adobe thought it should be used. Take a look at SAP Library [here |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/f2/21021b911f4c0cae11459a4ce0bc62/frameset.htm] and [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/8d/1cbf69fff9454ca9c5de84182e4bfb/frameset.htm]. This solutions relies on previously created PDF Form Template - that means, e.g. tables are not rendered as if being printed with any number of columns and rows, but components of data tables coming from SAP are injected in rows/columns of the form where they were planned to be during template design.

Additionally I think your idea of such usage of Adobe Document Services is not covered with software license you have as SAP customer/partner. Once again, I'm not 100% sure about it.

Still, my opinion is that you won't succeed in it anyway due to the logic of the solution.

Special PDF manipulation components will do the job better and easier, and nearly of them have demo/trial versions. So, if you ask me, don't waste your time and check special components.

If your idea of merging Excel with PDF means, that you want Excel to be "printed" at the end of PDF file, than this Adobe Interactive Forms is NOT going to help.

Search for some special PDF creation/manipulation software.
