Hi Poonam,

thank you. I took note in this afternoon. And correct your error with file length (I must do it too).

Hi Michal,

Thanks a lot! The problem was because of using the XSLTDATA parameter of the method set_task_extractdata. As per your suggestion, I simply used the method without any parameters and it now works!

FYI, the method set_extractdata is now obselete and it is recommended to use set_task_extractdata in its place.

Thanks again.

Hi Poonam

I am too working on Adobe form .

I am facing the problem of data extraction from PDF into Internal table.

As per suggested in the thread i am trying to use the method "set_task_extractdata" but in the class IF_FP_PDF_OBJECT no such method exist.

but method "set_extractdata" is there.

Can you guide me on this

Hi Poonam

you have said that the method set_extractdata is now Out-dated and it is recommended to use set_task_extractdata in its place.

but to me in class IF_FP_PDF_OBJECT method set_task_extractdata is not found.

but set_extractdata is there.

Is it because of version difference or something else.

Hi Poonam,

there is an error in your following code too. I have the same error in my code but it works Look to form convert_tab_to_x in the report FP_PDF_TEST_03.

* Move to XSTRING
LOOP AT lt_rawtab ASSIGNING <ls_rawtab>.
  CONCATENATE pdf_data <ls_rawtab>-data INTO pdf_data IN BYTE MODE.
ENDLOOP.

Hi Michael

I need some clarification regarding download of details from pd to internal table.

standard programme FP_PDF_TEST_03 will download the details from PDF formatt into excell-sheet but in my case i need to download the details into an internal table.

In the standard program there is a perform ( PERFORM download_file USING l_data p_xml) which loads details from into XLS fromat.

i have records in l_data but need to upload it itno IT .

Is there any standard FM which could help .

Hi Poonam,

I think that your problem is in parameter xsltdata of method set_task_extractdata.

Use code from example report FP_PDF_TEST_03:

call method l_pdfobj->set_task_extractdata( ).

Hi Poonam ,

I don't use method set_task_extractdata. I use a code like this:

  LOOP AT lt_rawtab ASSIGNING <ls_rawtab>.
    CONCATENATE pdf_data <ls_rawtab>-data INTO pdf_data IN BYTE MODE.
  ENDLOOP.
  lo_pdfobj->set_document( EXPORTING pdfdata = pdf_data ).
* Tell PDF object to extract data
  lo_pdfobj->set_extractdata( ).
* Execute the call to ADS
  lo_pdfobj->execute( ).

Hi,

I am uploading the pdf form (.pdf) from the C:\ drive of the presentation server. And I am getting this exception 'CX_FP_RUNTIME_SYSTEM'. Obviously the contents of the file are not read subsequently.

However, if I upload the same file from the application server, it works!

Is there any limitation that the file has to reside on the application server only?

Regards,

Poonam

Hi Rajeev,

I'm trying to uplaod the Adobe form from the application server but it is not working.

It looks liek you were able to do this.

Could you please advise how to do this?
