Printing QR Code and Digital Signature in Adobe Forms

Introduction

In this blog post, we will see how we can get QR code and Digital signature on Adobe Form without using Job profiles. We will basically convert the QR code into the image (BMP) and then Digitally sign the form via ADS Server.

Before implementing the solution please check if you have SAP note 2790500 implemented in your system so that we can use class CL_RSTX_BARCODE_RENDERER. Go to SE24 and check if you have the above class in your system. If not then implement the given note for the same.

Use Case

We are creating an interactive adobe form with 2 fields QR Code and Digital Signature.

Steps

Open transaction SFP

Create Form Interface

Give Description and select interface type as ABAP Dictionary.

Create an importing parameter as IV_QRCODE of type XSTRING. This will be getting QR code image from the driver program as XSTRING. Save and activate the interface.

Create an Adobe Form

Assign Form Interface created above and give the description to the form. Save the form

Create a graphic node QR_CODE

Link Graphic node QR_CODE variable with XSTRING variable IV_QRCODE. Open design view

Create 2 fields in design view:

◉ Signature field (SignatureField1)

◉ Drag and drop QR_CODE image node

Save and Activate the form

Create Driver program for the form created via SE38 transaction (Executable Program)

Copy and paste the code given below

Activate the code and run the same. We will get the Form saved at the path given in the code

We can see both QR Code and Digital signature in the form
