white interactiveform when displaying pdf

[Former Member]

Hey Expters,

i read a lot of here in this Forum how to get my otf-data displayed as pdf in a view.

i think my code isn't wrong, because, when i start the display-dialogue my view opens with that White interactive form. at the bottom of my browser i can choose "open" or "save" my document. when i say "open" the document is getting displayed in apdf-viewer correctly. because of this, i'm sure my codes works for creating the pdf and so it should have been shown in my interactive form.

But there is noting, just a white place with nothing in it.

Has anyone an idea why my interactive form doesn't Show the pdf?

pdf-source is set, and the context-attribute is not empty.

I also had the idea that this happens, because my interactive form has it's own view, shown in an ohne window within my webdynpro application. i changed that issue, so the the view is shown in my main-window. but this also changes nothing to the white InteractiveForm.

Please anyone help?

Best regards and a have a nice Weekend,

Mathias

Hi Mathias,

just some guesses:

- maybe the interface of your interactive form doesn't fit to your WDA context

- sometimes special characters (like $%&/§(")!~) make problems

Hi Ismail,

what do you mean with "Interface"? do i have to use any extra Interface Controller?!

such Special characters i only use within my Smartform for my variables. could that be a Problem too?

regards,

Mathias

EDIT: i just found the mistake: on my Computer, there's no Adobe Reader, just another program for pdf viewing.

thanks for your help anyway!

Hi Mathias,

forget it with the interface.

It was for an another usecase. Namely, in our case we've got a WDA view in which u can edit some fields(abbr. SF). On click on a "Print" button you get the PDF displayed in a print-preview, in which values of SF are given out. In this case you need a connection between your WD view-context and the context of your PDF.

And also in this usecase, you can encounter problems with special characters, mainly in UIElement FormattedTextEdit.
