This document is very well done. First paragraph says that XDC allows to convert any document (depends on the external software you have purchased) to a spool (PS, PCL, ...), it means you cannot convert a document into another one (unless your vendor has something special). Moreover this document gives you a list of demo programs. What else do you need?

Thanks for your reply, Sandra.

if we can only convert the documents to Spool. Then i am not sure how can i convert the spool to TIF format which is my requirement.

the below was given in the documentation

The interface is defined in a general manner, meaning that, as well as the DOC, PPT, and XLS formats, additional input formats (such as TIF or PDF) can be supported, as well as additional output formats for the conversion (such as PDF or TIF).

and the vendor is supporting TIF format for us as an output and input. Please give me ur inputs..

You've got me, that was in the second paragraph

RSPO0070 is the simplest demo program supplied by SAP (page 13 of the doc). What else do you need?

when i am running the report RSPO0070 it's defaulting the output(print) formats to PCL5 or POST. Do u think i can jus change that to TIF and use the report or the code inside the report?

my requirement is to convert the uploaded .DOC or .TXT or .PDF formats into .TIF and store them in SAP.

Thanks for helping me here Sandra..

Try.

But make sure what code is expected by your third-party software (could be TIF or TIFF for example).

Call this routine:


FORM xstring_to_itab_0_or_1_x_field
      USING i_xstring TYPE xstring 
      CHANGING et_0_or_1_x_field TYPE standard table.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
  EXPORTING
    buffer                = i_xstring
  TABLES
    binary_tab            = et_0_or_1_x_field.
ENDFORM.

Thanks very helpful. Thanks for that Sandra.

I am using the same FM but have to implement the below note to change the MIME type. This solves the issue.
