Printing a PDF document using SMARTFORMS

Former Member — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 06:20:09 GMT

What is the easiest way to print a PDF document from an ABAP program? I have the data in the following formats:

Binary (XSTRING)

String (from function module HR_KR_XSTRING_TO_STRING)

OTF

What format can I use in a smartform to print the PDF in the background?

Thanks in advance.

Sandipan,

If I use the UTF format, what do I use for the device type? PDF1? Also, I have the OTF data in an internal table which has to fields (TDPRINTCOM and TDPRINTPAR). I pass this table into the smartform function module but what do I do with the 2 fields when I loop through the internal table in the smartform? Do I just output a text node with TDPRINTPAR and ignoreTDPRINTCOM?

TDPRINTCOM TDPRINTPAR

kartik,

The link you provided saves the PDF to a file. I can do that just fine and open it in Adobe Reader. However, I need to print this PDF to a printer.
