Hi Livio,

As Poojith said that there are no UI element for BG in interactive PDF form builder so it may not be possible to implement a BG in a Adobe form in runtime.

But you can implement it in the NWDS as a WebDynpro project.After that you can configure a print button which triggers the Print action,so that you can take a print from your WD applications.

Hi Sukalyan,

I finally succeeded.

I made a Web Dynpro View containing a BG UI element, where I drew my graphic. Then I got a .gif image of the graphic with the following code:

public void wdDoModifyView(IWDView view, boolean firstTime) {
   ...
   IWDBusinessGraphics bg = (IWDBusinessGraphics) view.getElement("myBusinessGraphicsUIElem");
   byte[] img = bg.getImageAsByteArray(null, null);
   String img64 = Base64.encode(img);
   ...
}

As shown in the code, the image is encoded in a base64 string and (not shown) is inserted in a node context, in an attribute of type String. The node is shared with an Interactive Form, where there is an Image Field.

Just bind the base64 string to the Image Field, and that's all.

Regards,

Livio.

Hi,

I am not sure if this can be done in an Interactive form. There are no UI elements in the Interactive form library to achieve this.
