You can use the logic as follows :

Using the abap coding, fill the internal table and print it.. basically create the spool request..

not get this spool request and convert it to the PDF format ...

below code helps u to do it..

Use the below code to get the print parameters..

"Read, determine, change spool print parameters and archive parameters

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'

EXPORTING

in_archive_parameters = lw_arcpar

in_parameters = lw_pripar

layout = l_lay

line_count = l_lines

line_size = l_cols

no_dialog = 'X'

IMPORTING

out_archive_parameters = lw_arcpar

out_parameters = lw_pripar

valid = l_val .

continued...

this will get you the spool request that is been generated.

IF l_val space AND sy-subrc = 0.

lw_pripar-prrel = space.

lw_pripar-primm = space.

NEW-PAGE PRINT ON

NEW-SECTION

PARAMETERS lw_pripar

ARCHIVE PARAMETERS lw_arcpar

NO DIALOG.

ENDIF.

"Get data

SELECT *

FROM t100

INTO TABLE it_t100

UP TO 100 ROWS

WHERE sprsl = sy-langu.

" Writing to Spool

LOOP AT it_t100.

WRITE:/ it_t100.

ENDLOOP.

NEW-PAGE PRINT OFF.

CALL FUNCTION 'ABAP4_COMMIT_WORK'.

get the spool number..

spoolno = sy-spono.

"Convert spool to PDF

continued ...

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'

EXPORTING

src_spoolid = spoolno

no_dialog = ' '

IMPORTING

pdf_bytecount = l_no_of_bytes

pdf_spoolid = l_pdf_spoolid

btc_jobname = l_jobname

btc_jobcount = l_jobcount

TABLES

pdf = it_pdf.

now you have the data in ur internal table.. download the data using below FM.

"Download PDF file C Drive

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

filename = 'C:\itab_to_pdf.pdf'

filetype = 'BIN'

TABLES

data_tab = it_pdf.
