How to combine two or more adobe forms in Java web dynpro

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a scenario where I have few screens each - a separate adobe form. For e.g. One adobe form for item creation, one fore details, one for planning. I need to combine all this into one and save a copy of the PDF.

Save PDF option is present in the adobe options but it saves only the current form. I want to combine few forms and save the whole thing into 1 PDF document. Is there anyway we can do this?

I am using web dypro java for Adobe forms on NWDS 7.0

Adobe Live cycle designer - 7.1

Adobe Reader - 8.1

SAP NW SP 12

PLease help!

Thank you,

Hi Vasu,

You can convert both PDFs into Binary String. Then combine those binary string, and convert it into PDF.

Try this solution.

Hi Amit,

I have a similar kind of requirement, where i have to combine two PDFs into ONE PDF file. And I am trying it the same way as you have suggested. But unfortunately it doesn' t work.

When I append the binary content of 2nd PDf into 1st PDF, it doesn't open the document and displays error. It might be because of the EOF string. I don't know how to correct it.

Do you have any other idea?

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

Will attaching a PDF to another will work? If yes, then I have written a blog on it, you can check that.

Hi Amit,

Thanks for the response but my requirement is different.

I have to combine the contents of three PDFs (different adobe forms in different views in one web dynpro component) into one PDF ( a separate Adobe Form in different view in the same web dypro component).

I would be glad to know if you have a solution for such scenario. I am working on this since 4 days with no solution yet.

Thank you,

Vasu
