Hi Satya,

Actually i hav created a webdynpro application, that contains a number of fields. Now those fields are binded to attributes of a value node. when user fills in the form and clicks on submit, i must be able to get the values in those attributes of value node. but the values are being displayed as null. can u plz suggest what could be the issue.

Hi Amita,

Please go through the link in my earlier reply and verify if you have followed all the steps ..I am sure you will be able to solve this yourself.

Please tell me the cardinality of the Node which you have assigned to PDF data node.

Which submit button you are using .. is this in the form or in the webdynpro view...

Cheers

Hi Satya,

I've gone through the document, have already followed the steps mentioned..

Cardinality i've given is 1:1,

Submit button is on Webdynpro view.

i've created many applications like this only, they are working, and this application is working fine on one of my colleagues PC, but not mine and many other's..

Hi Amita,

My doubt .. SAP ACF component is installed on your PC.

Please refer to SAP Note 766191 if you can access this..

Please tell me what is your WebAS version? also at the same time can you update your adobe reader to latest version 8.1.1.

Cheers

Hi Trilochan,

First af all create a node pdfdata, bind that node to datasource property of the form.

and another independent attribute of type binary, bind that attribute to pdfsource property of the form.

place a button on your webdynpro screen, and on its click action extract the data from that node's attributes. For eg.

wdContext.currentpdfdataElement().getEmployeeNum();

where pdfdata is the node binded to the data source property, EmployeeNum is the attribute of that node also placed on the form and binded to it..

Hope this helps

Hi Trilochan,

Ya that can be done just by binding that very node to the datasource property of the form will do the passing of the values.

And u just need to drag and drop the elements from dataview to the page of the pdf in adobe designer. That will solve your requirement

Amita.
