PDF Web Services for SAP
**Create and process PDF documents in SAP Business applications.
The webPDF web services provide extensive options for integrating PDF operations in SAP business applications. Based on the SOAP and REST web services, third-party formats can be converted into PDF documents in SAP business applications or existing PDF documents can be processed further.
Central platform for PDF documents
The webPDF central server solution provides a PDF platform for SAP. The server, which runs under Windows and Linux, offers its functions as SOAP or REST web services, which can be used directly in the SAP platform.
In addition, a browser-based portal is available for individual PDF operation by users, which can serve as a replacement for client-side installed software.
webPDF follows the open SAP approach of "Service Oriented Architecture" (SOA) and stands precisely with its web services and central platform for the support of this approach and its concepts.
Integration via ABAP or Java
The SOAP and REST web services of webPDF can be easily integrated into SAP business applications via ABAP or Java programming. Using SAP NetWeaver, integrate the webPDF web services. Deploy applications on the SAP NetWeaver application server (on the ABAP or Java EE stacks) and integrate webPDF's PDF capabilities there.
Regardless of whether you follow the conceptual approach of "Enterprise Service Oriented Architecture" (ESOA) via SOAP web service or the more modern way of REST (Representational state transfer) web services, webPDF provides the identical functions via both ways based on XSD or JSON based schemas.
Parameterize PDF web services from ABAP or Java via XML or JSON structures and integrate the functions into SAP business applications to get XML or JSON responses from the services. To help you get started, we provide simple examples as part of the Git Hub project.
Basic Framework for PDF Services
From the conversion of third-party file formats to the support of standards such as PDF/A or digital signatures, webPDF lends itself to use in many areas.
Based on the framework of our partner XFT, the functions of webPDF can be easily integrated into SAP business applications via the "webPDF Connector for SAP". No matter if document conversion in the SAP HCM (Human Capital Management) application or XInvoice support in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). With the "webPDF Connector" you can quickly get started and use webPDF in the SAP environment.
