Workflow and PDF attachments

[akshay.bhagwat@wipro.com]

Hi All,
 
I know this topic is discussed a lot, still posting the questions as I
am not able to achieve the requirement.
 
Just to elaborate the scenario, we are using Web dypnro for ABAP to host
Interactive form .
This Form in turn triggers the workflow, as this form is to be approved
using workflow process. i.e. UWL will be used to launch the form when
executing the work items.
 
As the form includes Digital signatures, we are not able to read the
same from contexts (e.g. using UWLs dynamic parameters such as WI_ID.)
So we have decided to use attachments i.e. send this form as an
attachment inside workflow, since saved PDF file has all the data
intact.
 
Now the issue is: 
How this form in Webdynpro is to be saved as PDF file automatically and
then send as an attachment in workflow?
 
1. I have tried using SAP Office function modules such as
SO_OBJECT_UPLOAD to create PDF files in SOFM object. However the problem
is these FM s can not be used from Webdynpro as Front end services are
unavailable.
2. Same is the issue If I use background step for creating SOFM document
so that it can be used as an attachment.
 
Can any body please suggest what approach can be taken so that from
webdynpro , attachment can be created and passed to workflow seamlessly?
 
Any inputs are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
 
Regards

Akshay Bhagwat
