Thanks all for your replies..

Now i moved my file to applicaiton server and i was able to display PDF file successfully by using opendataset and closedata set statements and by using class cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response.

But now i face one other problem i.e, i am not able to display some of the PDF files which are having complex graphics or very large amount of data...

error message says that There was error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.

Please help me with your suggesstions.

Thanks,

Ratna.

try interactive form UI and findout the URL for the file (PDF) you want to show there.

and then pass the Xstring of the PDF into the PDf source property of Interactive form.

and check whether you are able to open the files without using the WDA .. means are you able to open it directly

thanks
