is it possible? if so, how would you go about it?

is it possible to have an interactive form (all fields display only except for a signature input field) where I can click "SUBMIT" and the actual PDF FORM is saved.

Then the underlying web dynpro calls a web service to pick up this saved PDF to be sent on to our digital imaging area?

Can we programatically SAVE the actual FORM to a local drive instead of just passing the data to the backend?

Hi Robert,

Every PDF has a PDF source in binary format.

You can get this PDF source in context and pass on to WebService.

Hope this helps

Hello,

do you really want to make "save myself" happen? Like the form saves itself? Why would you do such a thing?

1) It is 95% not possible, 5% left because I can´t develop everything:))

2) why don´t you get the data, use them as a input as run a new form generation (like NAME, JOB, call, END etc.), get the resulting PDF using GETPDF parameter and save this to the repository (like GOS?).

what we've decided to do is pick up the electronic sig from a UNIX directory in binary format.

then, pass that to the imagefield object in Adobe which is mapped to an xstring i nthe context. this works great.

However, we can't get it to work in regular ABAP - only in Web Dynpro - any suggestions?
