how are you performing your roundtrips?

[Former Member]

using WD ABAP, i was under the impression that making roundtrips from WD -> Adobe -> WD -> Adobe etc.. was not possible(recommended) even during online processing.

however, it looks like SAP may now be supporting this. has anyone implemented this type of roundtrip coding?

There are 2 possibel ways of achieving the round trip.

1.The easier way is to make the pdf interactive and download it to the client.After the user makes changes to it fills in the required fields you can provide an upload button in the dynpro part and upload the form extract the required data and Update the database.

2.Another is to provide a submit button on the pdf itself .. the pdf still being interactive .

When the pdf is interactive the Dynpro part can not be accessed and so these are the only possible solutions .

Manthan, for a single submit back to SAP for data processing, yes.. but we were discussing how to communicate back and forth multiple times between Web Dynpro and the PDF during a single session - and not necessarily using a Submit button to do it.

This would be useful for such things as lookups based on values entered on a separate field in the PDF.

Hello,

you will need some kind of submit for data lookup. Value help does also a post back to get the data for the help.

You can use submit button to send data back and forth. The PDF can be editable in the meanwhile.

Hello,

can you please detail your question? SAP supports roundtrips like submit buttons with screens displaying interactive forms.

This should work.

i had the impression, from documentation early last year, we weren't supposed to use the Submit button unless we were actually sending/posting data back to SAP and expecting NOT to come back to the PDF.
