You can convert to PDF formats using

SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF

Conversion From OTF to PDF (SAPScript conversion)

Also see <a href="http://searchsap.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid21_gci933581,00.html">Get SAPScript output as PDF</a>

Hi!

First get SAPScript output as OTF:

options-tdgetotf = 'X'.

CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'

EXPORTING

options = options

...

CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'

IMPORTING
RESULT =
RDI_RESULT =

TABLES

otfdata = it_otf

EXCEPTIONS

unopened = 1

bad_pageformat_for_print = 2

send_error = 3

spool_error = 4

OTHERS = 5.

Then convert it to PDF:

DATA:

it_pdf LIKE tline OCCURS 100 WITH HEADER LINE,

v_len_in LIKE sood-objlen.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'

EXPORTING

format = 'PDF'

max_linewidth = 132

ARCHIVE_INDEX = ' '

IMPORTING

bin_filesize = v_len_in

TABLES

otf = it_otf

lines = it_pdf

EXCEPTIONS

err_max_linewidth = 1

err_format = 2

err_conv_not_possible = 3

OTHERS = 4

Then download it_pdf as binary using DATASET or WS_DOWNLOAD.

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Maxim.
