Binding templateSource for PDF

[Former Member]

I have the same data I need in 5+ forms, but there are graphical differences in each one. I thought I would just create the 5+ PDF forms then dynamically bind the templateSource attribute to the proper string, but this attribute is not bindable.

What is the alternative?

Thanks,

Josh

Hi,

Within an IF first_time eq ABAP_TRUE.....ENDIF in the WDDOMODIFYVIEW, you have to take a reference to the class cl_wd_interactive_form.

Then you have to get reference to the interactive form uielement that you have embedded by lo_ref ?= view->get_element( 'INTERACTIVEFORM_UIELEMENT_NAME ).

You can make use of the method set_template_source to bind the form template dynamically.

The most common scenario is, you have a single interface which is being used by several form templates. In such a case the above approach is feasible.
