Hi Syed,

Your requirement can be achieved as below

• To create new button / link in standard component
  • Enhance the view of standard component
  • Create an ui element button/link to action and create an action in view and bind it to the event of button/link
• To display 9 pdf documents and these documents changes very rarely

• Approach 1
  • First, you need to provide a provision to store these documents in a ZTABLE
  • User can change whenever, he/she wants as per his/her requirement

                             Please refer the below document

• Approach 2
  • Create mime objects in your components for all pdf documents
  • Use CL_WD_RUNTIME_SERVICES=>ATTACH_FILE_TO_RESPONSE to display your pdf documents from mime

Hope this helps you.

Hi,

You cannot show PDF file from your local machine( even if you do, if other user logs in to other machine, the pdf will not be available)

As said in your original query, since the documents are static( and change rarely) I suggest you to Import those PDF files in MIME Object of your WDA Component and create a Interactive Form UI and bind the source to the MIME Object to display the PDF Files.

Hope this helps u,

Hi,

PDF Files cannot be edited ( unless using Acrobat ), Why user want's to change the file, if it is jus to dislay information?

To provide user's to edit the document, use Office Control UI and display the File in MS word.

Hope this helps u,

Hi,

how to store pdf file in ztable and what are the fields i have to use in table to store pdf file.

Apart from the key fields, create a field CURRENT with data type boole_d and FILE_DATA of type RAWSTRING to store the PDF File.

Then while uploading file and inserting, set the field Current = 'X' and unset the Current field with same key. And while displaying, get the file with current as set and display.

Or, you can create a date/year field in the Z Table, and store the current year when uploading the file, and then while displaying, display the latest File.

Hope this helps u,

DO i need to convert anything ..After storing file in ztable while extracting do i need to convert that data to get name of pdf file to pass in MIME objet for diaplaying.

Hi Syed,

Hope you are getting data in BIN format.

Use the FM 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING' to convert from binary to xstring and save it into table.

Please refer the below document for an example

SAP - XML File Upload |

Hope this helps you.
