Conversion of an Adobe XSTRING to XML

[sudhindra_chandrashekar]

Hi All,

I m working on an Interactive Adobe form and I have bound the pdf_source of the Interactive Form to an attribute which is of type XSTRING. Is there a function module through which I can convert this binary form of data to an XML.

I am currently displaying the value of this attribute in a text edit control and it appears to be in hex format.

Any hints will be greatly appreciated

Best regards,

Sudhi

This function module is to conver an XML message to the characteristic values in the SAP system. What I need is to convert an XSTRING which is in Base64 to an XML file.

Hi,

I have a button which just converts this BinaryHex value. In the action I am writing the following code:

METHOD ONACTIONCONVERT .

DATA:

ELEM_CONTEXT TYPE REF TO IF_WD_CONTEXT_ELEMENT,

STRU_CONTEXT TYPE IF_ADOBEVIEW=>ELEMENT_CONTEXT ,

ITEM_PDF_SOURCE LIKE STRU_CONTEXT-PDF_SOURCE,

XML_TAB TYPE TABLE OF SMUM_XMLTB.

• get element via lead selection

ELEM_CONTEXT = WD_CONTEXT->GET_ELEMENT( ).

• get single attribute

ELEM_CONTEXT->GET_ATTRIBUTE(

EXPORTING

NAME = `PDF_SOURCE`

IMPORTING

VALUE = ITEM_PDF_SOURCE ).

DATA:

ITEM_STRING LIKE STRU_CONTEXT-STRING,

DOC TYPE REF TO IF_IXML_DOCUMENT.

• get element via lead selection

ELEM_CONTEXT = WD_CONTEXT->GET_ELEMENT( ).

CALL TRANSFORMATION ('ID')

SOURCE XML ITEM_PDF_SOURCE

RESULT XML ITEM_STRING.

• get single attribute

ELEM_CONTEXT->SET_ATTRIBUTE(

EXPORTING

NAME = `STRING`

VALUE = ITEM_STRING ).

ENDMETHOD.

I just get the pdfSource in the attribute ITEM_PDF_SOURCE which is of type XSTRING and use the call transformation to the ITEM_STRING which is of type STRING. It results in a short dump and says that the format is incorrect.

Any hints?

Ok now I managed to get somewhere I used the following code:

METHOD ONACTIONCONVERT .

DATA:

ELEM_CONTEXT TYPE REF TO IF_WD_CONTEXT_ELEMENT,

STRU_CONTEXT TYPE IF_ADOBEVIEW=>ELEMENT_CONTEXT ,

ITEM_PDF_SOURCE LIKE STRU_CONTEXT-PDF_SOURCE,

XML_TAB TYPE TABLE OF SMUM_XMLTB.

• get element via lead selection

ELEM_CONTEXT = WD_CONTEXT->GET_ELEMENT( ).

• get single attribute

ELEM_CONTEXT->GET_ATTRIBUTE(

EXPORTING

NAME = `PDF_SOURCE`

IMPORTING

VALUE = ITEM_PDF_SOURCE ).

DATA:

ITEM_STRING LIKE STRU_CONTEXT-STRING,

IXML TYPE REF TO IF_IXML,

DOCUMENT TYPE REF TO IF_IXML_DOCUMENT,

STREAMFACTORY TYPE REF TO IF_IXML_STREAM_FACTORY,

ISTREAM TYPE REF TO IF_IXML_ISTREAM,

PARSER TYPE REF TO IF_IXML_PARSER,

I_ELEMENT TYPE REF TO IF_IXML_ELEMENT,

INT TYPE I,

COUNT TYPE I,

P_ERR TYPE REF TO IF_IXML_PARSE_ERROR,

S_ERR TYPE STRING.

• get element via lead selection

ELEM_CONTEXT = WD_CONTEXT->GET_ELEMENT( ).

*-- create the main factory

IXML = CL_IXML=>CREATE( ).

*-- create the initial document

DOCUMENT = IXML->CREATE_DOCUMENT( ).

STREAMFACTORY = IXML->CREATE_STREAM_FACTORY( ).

ISTREAM =

STREAMFACTORY->CREATE_ISTREAM_XSTRING( ITEM_PDF_SOURCE ).

PARSER = IXML->CREATE_PARSER(

STREAM_FACTORY = STREAMFACTORY

ISTREAM = ISTREAM

DOCUMENT = DOCUMENT ).

CALL METHOD PARSER->PARSE

RECEIVING

RVAL = INT.

CALL METHOD PARSER->NUM_ERRORS

• EXPORTING

• MIN_SEVERITY = 3

RECEIVING

RVAL = INT.

COUNT = 0.

DO INT TIMES.

CALL METHOD PARSER->GET_ERROR

EXPORTING

INDEX = COUNT

• MIN_SEVERITY = 3

RECEIVING

RVAL = P_ERR

.

COUNT = COUNT + 1.

CALL METHOD P_ERR->GET_REASON

RECEIVING

RVAL = S_ERR.

CONCATENATE ITEM_STRING S_ERR INTO ITEM_STRING SEPARATED BY SPACE.

ENDDO.

• get single attribute

ELEM_CONTEXT->SET_ATTRIBUTE(

EXPORTING

NAME = `STRING`

VALUE = ITEM_STRING ).

ENDMETHOD.

But this returns me an error saying that "unexpected symbol: '<' "

I am not sure where to correct this...
