XSTRING to PDF or XSTRING to BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2

Former Member — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 14:12:08 GMT

I am working with an Adobe form. I have the form data coming back to me in an xstring. What I need to do is to convert this xstring to a pdf. How can I do this? If I have it in OTF data then I can handle the conversion but is there a way to go from xstring to OTF?

My end goal is to use BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 (it creates a DMS document) and use this newly created PDF as a hardcopy, attaching it to the document. Is there a way to just pass the xstring into this BAPI instead of creating the PDF first?

Regards,

Davis

Thanks a lot for that link! I searched for over an hour and didn't come across that post. I don't know why I didn't think of the solution, it is quite obvious.

Thanks again!

Hi,

Try using SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY. Then see if you can use this in bapi_document_create2.
