Hi Aditya,

In wdDoModifyView use code like this:

((IWDInteractiveForm)view.getElement("InteractiveFormxy")).setDynamicPDF(true);

Hi,

After I put above mentioned code in wdDoModifyView. I got following error:

com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.PDFDocumentCreationException: ../../local/....

com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.base.core.PDFDocumentRuntimeException: Failed to UPDATEDATAINPDF

Any idea on this ??

Have you correctly installed the credentials for Adobe Document Services with Visual Administrator?

You need to install this credential to make the iform interactive. Without this credential only static pdfs are possible.

If not, look in the adobe configuration guide howto install this credential.

HI Aditya,

While developing the form in Webdynpro for ABAP, set the following properties of Interactive Form UI Element as follows

Check the "Enable"

Uncheck "Read Only"

Hi Sumitha,

But I am using web dynpro java i.e. NWDS.. No ABAP..
