Hi,

In the NACE transaction, you can assign PDF TYPE for the output type and the smartform which you are using.

Go to Nace, find the appication and then output types and then click your output type then processing routines,

Now check the printout as medium and at the last type as PDF..

Venkatesh

click on the print button of Print Prieview

then u will get the spool number.

go to SE38 -> report name 'RSTXPDFT4' run it and give the spool number and run that report.

It will ask you to save that print in PDF.

Hi,

One more thing what you can do is .....comment this code ...ST_CONTROL_PARAMETERS-GETOTF = 'X'. and pass space to ST_CONTROL_PARAMETERS-NO_DIALOG ...when you get the Pop-up screen for the Print and print priview ..click on the print privew you get the view window from the menu TEXT->Print. then the spool is generated.

Use this RSTXPDFT4 to convert the spool to PDF. If the there is any error in generating the PDF then the what ever deveice type your getting in this V_E_DEVTYPE is enable to conver to PDF....try check for the any other Device Type and test.

You can find the Device types from Tcode SPAD.
