Save PDF automatically on application server or shared drive

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a requirement like this.

A web dynpro application with an adobe form in it. When the user fill in the adobe form and saves,

it should create a non-interactive adobe form

save data into it

save it in a specific location.

I could do the first 2 steps but I don't find a way to save automatically in a specified location.

I tried DOWNLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD FMs but could not achieve this.

Is there a FM that can do this background saving of PDF in a specific location.

Version:

SAP Net weaver 7.0

Thank you,

Vasu

Hi, I have a similar requirement but the I have a regular adobe print form called from a report. I would like the form to be saved in a shared network location programmatically through the abap report.

Can I achieve that?

Thanks,

Hello Srinivas,

Could you please let us know your solution as we too have the same issue at the moment in our project. We need to save the adobe form from the web-dynpro application onto the application server automatically (it can be into a default path). So could you please let us know the solution you found for your case.

Thank you,

Chaitanya

Use the fileDownload UI element. You can't use any of the SAPGUI related function modules because you have no connection to the SAPGUI. Web Dynpro runs in a browser and is therefore subject to the security sandbox of the browser. That means no slient downloads and no choosing the download location programatically.

In that case, Can this be achieved through a Adobe Print Form. Is programmatic download possible there?

Thank you,

It has nothing to do with the type of form> It is because of the security restrictions of running in a web browser.
