Hi Smruti,

You need to use an Adobe Interactive Form. These docs are slightly old but will give you a fair idea towards how to do it.

There is an Interactive Form UI element in Web Dynpro Java. There might be some more open source alternatives but this one will be officially supported by SAP.

Adobe Interactive Form Development within WebDynpro Java can be a little tedious but once development is complete, its very stable in production.

Hi,

You can achive this by means of IText Jar file, which you can find in the below link.

You can create an external library DC and put this JAR in it and create public parts out of it. Use these public parts in your web dynpro DC to convert the context node data into a PDF file.

what technology you are using to generate pdf?

how you display it?

[SandipAgarwalla]

If your application is wDJ., have you tried using Interactive PDF UI element in your view?

This is one of the easiest way  to display PDFs in WDJ apps.

You need to configure ADs server for it.

So from Oracle, get the data via beans or something, put it in global controller then map it to the view context (or direct) then pass the data onto the PDF UI element.

Hi Smruti,

You can use this doc.

http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-2627

or

included the ITEXT.jar

then follow the below

Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4);

document.open();

PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1);

PdfPCell cell;

cell = new PdfPCell(new Paragraph("ONE"));

table.addCell(cell);

cell = new PdfPCell(new Paragraph("TWO"));     

table.addCell(cell);

document.add(table);

document.close();

byte[] b = new byte[100 * 1024];

b =  document.toString().getBytes("UTF-8");

IWDCachedWebResource pdfRes = WDWebResource.getPublicCachedWebResource(b, WDWebResourceType.PDF, WDScopeType.CLIENTSESSION_SCOPE,      wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getDeployableObjectPart(),"FileNameHelloText"));
