Problem while opening the PDF

Former Member — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 04:25:32 GMT

Hi All,

Iam having an issue while opening the PDF-Attachment in which iam sending it as attachment to the mail.While opening the PDF iam getting the error that "Aodbe Reader could not open the document because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged(for example,it was sent as an email attachment and was'nt correctly decoded)".

The function-module "SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1" is getting use to send the attachment.

First iam converting the internal table data into PDF and then am sending the mail with PDF-attchment.

Thanks,

Asmitha.

Even i had a smilar problem. The reason is perhaps the data in internal table doesnt get converted into PDF corectly. In my case i had to convert into PDF and download on local machine. Attching below code for it.Maybe u can get pointers to your problem.
