Integrating Inbound Processing in Your Own Programs
You can integrate inbound processing in your own program.
In interface IF_IFP_DOCUMENT_DATA
, the types of transformation from XML data to ABAP data are described that are supported by inbound processing:
GC_TRANSFORMATION_TYPE_IXML
uses the interface of the iXML library for the transformation.GC_TRANSFORMATION_TYPE_SXML
uses the streamed XML reader interface for the transformation.GC_TRANSFORMATION_TYPE_MDOM
uses the iXML Miniparser of the iXML Mini Mainfactory.GC_TRANSFORMATION_TYPE_IBFM
uses the generated module of inbound processing for interactive offline forms. You can use all of these types of transformation. We recommend the streamed XML reader as offering the best performance.
Inbound processing can process the following document types, as described in the interface IF_IFP_DOCUMENT_DATA
:
CON_DOCUMENT_TYPE_PDF
(interactive PDF-based print forms)CON_DOCUMENT_TYPE_XML
(XML data that was already extracted from an interactive PDF-based print form)
Note
If you do not enter a logical destination of Adobe Document Services (ADS) to extract XML data from the PDF form, then the document processor uses the standard, unsecure connection to ADS that is entered in the system.
