Converting SapScript to PDF file

Former Member — Mon, 03 Apr 2006 05:27:43 GMT

Hi All

I try to convert the sapscript from spoollist to pdf. It is converted to pdf file but the page format of pdf file is differnt to sapscript as there is a great right margin added to the file .

i just want to know the various settings in sapscript or zpdf device type prior to convert so that the pdf file looks like the sapscript generated.

Thanks

Namrata

CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF converts a OTF spool to PDF (i.e. Sapscript document)

CONVERT_OTF Convert OTF format to various formats (TLINE table) ASCII or PDF

CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF Convert OTF to PDF (TLINE table). OTF can be filled used archivelink. Calls CONVERT_OTF.

CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF_ARCHIVELINK Convert OTF to PDF (TLINE table). Calls CONVERT_OTF. Looks like the function names for these two functions are mixed up J

Hi Ferry Lianto

Thanks for your Tip it was really helpful

but i have one prob when the PDF file is created the data repeates it self in the file its beacuse of the loop i think i.e

LOOP AT i_pa0001 INTO w_pa0001.

Writting into the form

CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'

EXPORTING

element = 'MAIN'

window = 'MAIN'.

ENDLOOP.

can you plz explain why are we using this loop.

Thanks

Namrata

Hi Namrata,

You don't need to loop if you only have a record want to covert. Above sample code has 10 different records in the internal table and want to combine together into one file.

Hope this will help.
