Why Interactive Forms

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to use Interactive Forms in WebDynpro.

I Wonder why we make pdf as Interactive in Web Dynpro,

we can directly use UIElements to get data and output a PDF file.

why we take input from PDF itself?

Hi,

Thanks for the Response,

We can design a PDF Document and fill data in it, show in the browser fine.

But my question is why are we making PDF as 'INTERACTIVE' .

i.e. to take input.

though the same thing is achieved using normal InputField UIElements.

I think its just to incorporate a look and feel of PDFs

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

If you want to display the any kind of data in the form of PDF you should go to only Interactiveform UI element that will provide all services for genearating your pdf and data into PDF.

If you want to display direct PDF means u need to use any of the Thirdparty tool.

Info for interactiveforms gothru this.
