Steps To Create A Simple SAP ADOBE FormAnd Calling It In A Web Dynpro ABAPApplicationIn this step by step guide we will create a simple SAP Adobe Form showing employee

address and then call this form in our Web Dynpro ABAP Application. To develop SAP

Adobe forms you will require the Adobe Life Cycle Designer installed in your system and

Adobe Document Services (ADS) installed and configured on the server.

Step 1. Creating The Form Interface

Go to transaction code SFP. Select the radio button Interface, give a name to your interface

and click on the create button.

In the Create Interface pop-up give a description and then click on the Save button.

Provide the Transport package and the transport request details.

Double click on the import parameter of the form interface and create a new import

parameter PERNR of type PERNR-PERNR.

Similarly, double click on the Global Data in the Global Definitions and create a new

variable PA0006 of type PA0006.

Now, double click on the Code Initialization in Initializations, specify PERNR as an import

parameter, PA0006 as and output parameter and copy and paste the following code lines to

read the permanent address of an employee from infotype 0006.

ENDIF.

READ TABLE lt_p0006 INTO pa0006 WITH KEY subty = '2' .

Save and activate your Form Interface.

Step 2. Creating And Designing The Form

Come back to the main screen of the transaction SFP, select the radio button Form, give

your form a name and click on the create button.

In the Create Form pop-up box enter a description and the interface name created in Step 1,

then click on the save button.


Now drag and drop the structure PA0006 of Global Data from the Interface in the left hand

side to Context window on the right-hand side.

Save and activate your form.

Step 3. Creating Web Dynpro Application.

Go to Transaction SE80, choose Web-Dynpro-Comp./Intfin the object list and provide a

new name (Y_WDA_ADOBE_FORM) and press enter key.

In the create objectpop-up click on the Yes button to create a new Web Dynpro

Application. Enter the description and choose the Type radio button as Web Dynpro

Component.


Double click on the MAIN view and select the Context tab and create a new context attribute

with name PERNR and type as PERNR-PERNR.

Now go to the Layout tab and insert a new Label UI, an Input field UI and a Button UI

element in the ROOTELEMENTCONTAINER.

Bind the Input field UI elements value property with the context attribute PERNR.

i_mime_type = 'application/pdf' ).

endmethod.

Create the Web Dynpro Application by right clicking the Web Dynpro Component. Give

your application a name and description.

Save and activate your Web Dynpro Application.

The Final Output

Right click on the Web Dynpro application and click on Test to test your application in the

web browser.

Closing Notes:

You can also call the Adobe Form in Web Dynpro Application by using the UI element

Interactive-Form. But, it is a good idea to design your ADOBE form separately in

transaction code SPF as shown in this tutorial. This way you can also call the same form in

reports and other applications too.

Also, instead of opening the Adobe form in the web browser, we have used the

methodattach_file_to_response( ) of class cl_wd_runtime_services to open the

ADOBE form via download pop-up, this is also a good way because many a times users have

performance issues when showing the form in the web browser.
