Displaying Interactive forms

[Former Member]

How do I display my Adobe forms, which have previously been saved into a document management system, in a web dynpro?

Do I add the Interactive Form at runtime to my web dynpro by steaming the bytes? Is there a demo or documentation I can use?

Thanks,

Ellis

I can now display pdf into a web-dynpro from a binary. I can then extract values as XML, edit and save back to a binary.

Thanks all very much,

Thanks you all.

I now have a pdf dynamically loading in my web-dynpro from a binary...thanks!!

How can I now access the form data from the pdf? All of the examples use the context mapping to access the form data. Can I access the form data directly from the pdf I created or can I get it as XML?

Thanks

Hi Ellis,

in following post Carsten Brandt suggest that we can use

WDInteractiveFormHelper class for extracting the data out of the PDF file.

But i think for that purpose also we need context structure. But this context node is not required to be bounded to the PDF form.
