Hi pavan,

There is no direct function module for it.

you first convert RTF(.doc) data to OTF format using

<b>CONVERT_RTF_TO_ITF</b> and then you will get the script format from rtf data . now generate the spool using the script data, now convert the spool to PDF using <b>CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF</b>

importing

bin_filesize = no_lines

tables

otf = otf_lines

lines = pdf_lines.

call function 'DOWNLOAD'

bin_filesize = no_lines

filename = 'c:test.pdf'

filetype = 'BIN'

Hi pavan,

1. Converting .doc, .xls file etc

to pdf format!

2. Well, there is no function in abap

which can do so.

(Bcos this CONVERTER is provided by

ADOBE itself and is the functionality

of adbobe)

3. So we cannot do this in sap directly.

4. However,

SAP provides a little facility, ie.

using SCOT settings,

we can

do that

ALV / LIST -

> PDF

Sapscript layout -

> PDF

This is automaticallly done

by the scot settings.

5. When we pass RAW Data of

a file which is uploaded,

SCOT cannot convert it into pdf.

If u try this,

u will get blank file.

regards,

amit m.
