Displaying PDF in new Browser window

[Sm1tje]

Hi all,

I have a question about displaying a invoices in pdf format in a new window. I read several threads about this, but I haven't been able to solve my problem.

I'm using following code:

• append the pdf to the response

cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response(

i_filename = 'test.pdf'

i_content = lx_pdf

i_mime_type = 'application/pdf'

i_in_new_window = ' X'

i_inplace = 'X' ).

The content (lx_pdf) is retrieved from a smartform, via the function module for the smartform in question, after which I convert the OTF Data (JOB_OUTPUT_INFO-OTFDATA) to XSTRING using FM SCMS_TEXT_TO_XSTRING. The returned data (buffer of type xstring) I use for afore mentioned method. But all I get to see is the following:

//XHPLJIIID 0700 00000000001

The text is correct, but it is not displayed as PDF in new window, and of course I'm not interested in all the formatting codes in front of every line??

I should be possible to display a pdf in a new browser window without having installed everything needed for Adobe Interactive forms, or isn't it??

Kind regards,

Micky.

Hi Micky,

Don't convert the OTFDATA.Keep it as it is.

I'm doing the same thing except conversion of OTFDATA & it is working fine with me.

Hi Micky.

If you have the spool number of the printed billing document you can use

component WDK_SPOOL_TO_PDF in order to display spool as PDF.

Just transfer spool number and format to default inbound start up plug.

Cheers,

No, Ik do not have the spool number, and neither will I in the future. The pdf documents are stored in a central place, from where I will have to retrieve I using an URL.

Thanks anyway.

Micky.
