Here am going to explain how we can show smartform as in pdf format in webui screen.
Step 1: Create a BSP Page in your application and give the extension as .pdf.
Step 2: Go to OnInitialization Event Handler method in ur page and write the fallowing code.
DATA lv_xlen TYPE i.
DATA lv_pdf TYPE xstring.
CALL FUNCTION ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’ ”Your FM To Get otf data of your SmartForm
EXPORTING
iv_status = XXXXXXXX
IMPORTING
ev_otf = lv_pdf.
lv_xlen = xstrlen( lv_pdf ).
response->set_data( data = lv_pdf length = lv_xlen ).
response->set_header_field( name = if_http_header_fields=>content_type value = ‘application/pdf’ ).
response->set_header_field( name = if_http_header_fieLds=>CACHE_CONTROL value = ‘max-age=0’ ).
response->set_status( code = 200 reason = ‘OK’ ).
response->server_cache_expire_rel( expires_rel = 180 ).
Note: Here lv_pdf is the converted otf data of your smart form.
Step 3: Change the Mime Type of your BSP Page into application/pdf in properties tab .
Step 4: To maintain the session we have 3 options in our bsp page properties tab.
Choose ‘Stateful from Now on radio button’ and make lifetime as ‘Session’ by us
ing dropdown.
Coding in BSP COMPONENT:
Step 5:
data: gv_url type string.
Add the Fallowing code in the .htm page in view to open smart form in new window.
<%
if controller->gv_url is not initial.
%>
<script language=“javascript”>
window.open(“<%= controller->gv_url %>”).focus();
</script>
<%
clear controller->gv_url.
endif.
%> “ We have to pass the URL of your BSP page to the variable gv_url.
Step 6: Finally call the BSP Page by using the url of the BSP page in handler method.
Now we have to assign the BSP URL to gv_url to call the BSP page.
You will get the URL of BSP page in the properties tab of BSP page.
Below I will share my personal feelings about the post.
As far as it's a document it must be well structured, without errors, same style all across the document. And have you ever seen "Hi all", "Happy Reading" and "Cheers" in documents? Me not. In blogs - yes, it's ok. But not in documents. I think the document should be reworked.
The general idea of the post is quite interesting.
Hello Ravi ,

I have the same problem as Rida. When you click the button again the page does not open. Mohamed ELBEQQAL did you find the solution for this?
Hello,
Its my solution , that will help you :
Try to pass by different part for each execution : (use gv_print to switch eache time)
if controller->gv_url is not initial.
* Swtich
if controller->gv_print is not initial .
%>
<script language="javascript">
window.open("<%= controller->gv_url %>").focus();
</script>
<%
clear controller->gv_print.
else.
%>
<script language="javascript">
popup_window = window.open("<%= controller->gv_url %>");
</script>
<%
controller->gv_print = 'X'.
endif .
clear controller->gv_url.
endif.
I hope that help you .
