Hi Experts,

I am working on PCR forms(Adobe forms), I want to customize those forms as per the requirement.

Problem is that I don't know how to create New Data Connection with the field in DATA VIEW.

Thanks

Hi Rohit

are you working with interactive forms inside Web Dynpro? If so, Web Dynpro will create the data connection for you. The only thning you have to do is setting the "data sorurce" and "pdf source" in the properties tab of the interactive forms layout element. See for example here: [original link is broken]#50 [original link is broken] or other tutotials on web Dynpro and interactive forms : [original link is broken]

If you don't work with Web Dynpro, you can create a data connection as follows:

1. Open your *xdp-Template (Doubleclick: Lifecycle Designer is starting

2.Click on File-> New Data Connection.

3, Create the data Connection with the wizard, Your source can be

a) XML Schema

b) OLEDB Database

c) WSDL file

Hope this helps. Please reward points if helpful

Kind regards
