Hi Gary ,

You have to create a attribute of type XSTRING and bind it the ui elemrnt interactive form's pdf source. Then you have to bind the template with the required object structure. Then you requir to make the layout as per your requirmrnt.

Alternatively go to form builder (SFP) then create a interface . Create your layout. Create a context node and populate this node in the method wddoinit from the table. Then in in the main view of your web dynpro component create a UI element of interactive form and set the data source and template source.

I think second scenario match with your requirment .
