Steps To Create A Simple SAP ADOBE Form And Calling It In A Web Dynpro ABAP Application
In 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 parameter PERNR of type PERNR-PERNR. new import

Similarly, double click on the Global Data in the Global Definitions and variable PA0006 of type PA0006.

create a new

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.

DATA : lt_p0006 TYPE TABLE OF pa0006 . REFRESH lt_p0006. CALL FUNCTION 'HR_READ_INFOTYPE' EXPORTING tclas pernr infty begda endda TABLES infty_tab EXCEPTIONS infty_not_found = 1 OTHERS * * ENDIF. READ TABLE lt_p0006 INTO pa0006 WITH KEY subty = '2' . = 2. IF sy-subrc <> 0. MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4. = lt_p0006 = 'A' = pernr = '0002' = '18000101' = '99991231'

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.

Provide the Transport package and the transport request details. 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.

Click on the tab Layout tab to go to the Form Builder.

Drag and drop all required fields from the Data View to the Body Pages, and set the field properties as per your requirement.

Save and activate your form.

Step 3. Creating Web Dynpro Application.

Go to Transaction SE80, choose Web-Dynpro-Comp./Intf in the object list and provide a new name (Y_WDA_ADOBE_FORM) and press enter key.

In the create object pop-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.

Provide the Transport package and the transport request details. 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.

Create a new Action SHOW_FORM and assign it to the OnAction property of the button UI element.

Copy and paste the code below to the event handler ON ACTION SHOW_FORM.
method ONACTIONSHOW_FORM . DATA : lv_pernr TYPE persno, formoutput TYPE fpformoutput, lo_el_context TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element, ls_context TYPE wd_this->element_context, lv_w_cx_root TYPE REF TO cx_root, gv_fmname TYPE rs38l_fnam, " function module name

lv_mesg TYPE string, gs_fpoutparams TYPE sfpoutputparams. * get element via lead selection lo_el_context = wd_context->get_element( ). * get single attribute lo_el_context->get_attribute( EXPORTING name = `PERNR` IMPORTING value = lv_PERNR ). gs_fpoutparams-nodialog = 'X'. " suppress printer dialog popup gs_fpoutparams-getpdf = 'X'. * gs_fpoutparams-getxml = 'X'. CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN' CHANGING ie_outputparams = gs_fpoutparams EXCEPTIONS cancel usage_error system_error OTHERS =1 =2 =3 = 5.

internal_error = 4 IF sy-subrc <> 0. * MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO * ENDIF. TRY. CALL FUNCTION 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' EXPORTING i_name = 'Y_FORM' IMPORTING e_funcname = gv_fmname. CATCH cx_root INTO lv_w_cx_root. lv_mesg = lv_w_cx_root->get_text( ). * MESSAGE e201(hrpadin01) WITH lv_formname3 lv_mesg. ENDTRY. WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

CALL FUNCTION gv_fmname EXPORTING pernr IMPORTING /1bcdwb/formoutput = formoutput. IF sy-subrc <> 0. * MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO * ENDIF. CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_CLOSE' * IMPORTING * E_RESULT EXCEPTIONS usage_error system_error internal_error OTHERS =1 =2 =3 = 4. = WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4. = lv_pernr

cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response( i_filename = 'SAP_ADOBE_FORM.pdf' i_content = formoutput-pdf 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.
