Spool to pdf

Former Member — Wed, 18 Jan 2006 22:24:33 GMT

I am having two different formats of spool:

1. OTF (Generated from smartforms/SAP Scripts)

2. ABAP List (Using write statments in ABAP)

Requirement is to merge them together first and then convert into pdf. user doesn't want to see individual files. Function modules are there to convert each into pdf format individually but how do I combine them together & generate 1 pdf file itself in ABAP.

Thanks.

The function module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF will generate one pdf & the function module CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF will generate another pdf. Its fine till here. It is from here that the problem arises. I am not able to merge them together into one file and download the complete pdf file(having both in it). (Note : Appending one into another only downloads the last one )

I re-opened another post because the previous post was answered in a complete different direction and it wld be difficult for anyone to understand what I am trying to say, though I strssed enogh on the fact of different formats into one pdf file. Anyways I will close it.

Thank you.

Hello,

Not sure whether this works...but you can give a try...

convert the individual spools to PDF by FMs:

CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF and CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF.

The output data in tables parameter: PDF is appended into new IntTab from both the FMs.

then make a download from the merged IntTab to desktop.
