Transfer attachments and Digital Signatures,from a PDF, to Interactive Form

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am developing an an application in WebDynpro Java.

I have a requirement that a user A creates a new interactive form & fills some of the details, & then saves the form.

User B then fetches the form & fills the remaining details.

User A can add attachments & digitally sign the form(using digital signatures).

When user A saves the form, the application saves it in the JDT. The application fetches the pdf from the JDT & shows it to the user B.

The problem is that, when the form is displayed to user B, i need to pass a variable(using context nodes) to the form, so that some of the properties(visibility,read-only,etc) of the UI elements(of the form) changes, depending on the variables' value.

For this purpose, i need to use the Form for user B in ""UpdateDataInPdf" mode.

But if i do this, then all the attachments, signatures saved in the pdf form(by user A), do not get transfered to the Interactive Form of User B!!

How do i overcome this problem??

I am using NW7.0 SP13.; Designer7.1, xACF is installed.

Hi Shruti,

Thanks for the link, but i have already implemented that.

My problem is doing the same, with the signatures within the pdf form.

Hi Hanoz,

now I have the same problem that you've had writing this post.

could you be so kind as to tell me if you have resolved it and if so how did you do?

Thanks for your attentions and your time.

Hi everyone,

I solved this issue using the transferPDFDataIntoContext of the WDInteractiveFormHelper class.

The AIF mode must be set to usePdf.

I hope it will be useful.

Hi Mirco,

Is this something that is possible in WDA -(WebDynpro ABAP)?
