How to display the form from XSTRING

[OttoGold]

Hello, friends,

I would like to display a form in Reader from SAP. I have the form data in the XSTRING variable.

Like the situation when you ask ADS through GETPDF = 'X' to return your form as XSTRING and you change your mind in the next program code and want to display it.

Has anybody tried this?

The closest thing we've done to this is to grab a spool request and convert it to PDF using 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'. This returned us a table of type TLINE.

We converted this manually to an xString and used a PI(XI) web service to send to our document archiving system(Filenet). When we went to filenet, we could pull up the document and see the PDF.

But, it sounds like you already have an xString and want to send that directly to the ADS?

All I wanted was to have a PDF viewer for any binary data of type PDF.

I got help here:

and from my colleague. It was my fault - I cannot do the ordinary dynpros. I am too young for this I guess. My standard is between ABAP WD and Adobe forms:))

Thank you anyway,

Otto
