Hi,

Using CG3Y transaction you can download the file in application server to your local server. You can then try printing.

Hope I understand your requirement correclty.

Thanks,

Savitha

Just an Idea,

What about configuring an OS command in SM69 for printing and then executing the command using fm SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE from the program in background.

The parameter ADDITIONAL_PARAMETERS in the signature of the fm accepts the path of file.

I also got a fm from google CV150_PRINT_DOC

Keshav,

Thanks for your reply.

CV150_RPINT_DOC works only in the frontend execution.

Hi,

Can you please try the command from OS command prompt, if it works then surely it will work from sm69.

HI,

In FM SAP_PDF_VIEWER_DEMO there is a method for print.

May be this is also supported in foreground only.

I think for CAD its autocad.exe.

There must be a exe file in the server right ?????

Without any extension support files in the server i doubt whether it will open.

Is it able to view directly ????
