Print image from the WDA

[Former Member]

Hi

We have some texts and an image on our web dynpro view and need to provide print option.

Should we use a smartform to pass the data, convert it to pdf and bind it to an interactive form UI element?

If yes how do we pass the image?

Any other methods?

Thanks

In NetWeaver 7.02 you can trigger printing on the client side via the browser print functionality. Before then, you probably will have to do some sort of PDF forms based printing. Images are probably easier to stream into Adobe Forms rather than SmartForms. My recommendation would be to go with an Adobe Form via the InteractiveForm UI element. You can pass image data into the form context as an XSTRING attribute in the WD Context.
