Add image from MIME repository (SE78) in ADOBE form (SFP)

[Jay_Kamdar]

Dear Experts,

There is a requirement where i have to add an image in an existing Adobe form which is called by a driver program.

I have uploaded a bitmap black and white image in MIME repository named 'SEAL'.

After a lot of R & D , i have found out that

two variables of type string and xstring have to be created in the interface

and a graphic node of type graphic content has to be created in context  with a field from form interface and MIME type 'bmp'.

I have to create an image field object in the form.

I have following queries :

How to use the two variables ?

How to bind image field  and the variables  in the form?

What code is required and do i have to write it in code initialization or the driver program ?

I'm totally confused ;

A step by step solution will really be helpful.

Thanks in advance,

Got it

One of my seniors helped me to solve the issue.

2 variables to be declared in interface - global data with types string and xstring,

a small code to be added in code initialization,

a graphic node to be added of type graphic content in the form context,

an image field created in the design view/master page of pdf form with binding,

[Jay_Kamdar]

seal_string =  'image/bmp'.

DATA: lv_logoname1 TYPE TDOBNAME.

lv_logoname1 = 'VWSEAL'.




CALL METHOD cl_ssf_xsf_utilities=>get_bds_graphic_as_bmp
EXPORTING
   p_object       = 'GRAPHICS'
   p_name         = lv_logoname1
   p_id           = 'BMAP'
   p_btype        = 'BMON'
   RECEIVING
   p_bmp          = seal_xstring
EXCEPTIONS
   not_found      = 1
   internal_error = 2
   OTHERS         = 3.

Hi Jay,

You can convert the image to string and in the adobe forms you can bind the string with the image. Go through this link , it is not the actual solution for your requirement but still you can have a look at how to bind the string with the image field in adobe forms.(Refer the 5th image).

Refer this thread too.

Hi Jay,

If you use the 'Graphic Reference' option then it would be a lot less work to insert your graphic.  See the help link below describing the two options:

SAP Library - SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe

Hi Ryan,

yep i agree but  through that method the image needs to reside on the client's file system or a web server which is not feasible for me in this case.

Hi Jay,

You could use a simple BSP wrapper application to serve up the image in this case.  I did a similar example for someone else a couple of months back and could serve an image that way.
