Read PDF data from Spool request

Former Member — Tue, 25 Apr 2017 23:01:21 GMT

Hi gurus,

in my system ECC i have spool requests (transaction SP01) which are of PDF type (take a look ,at my screenshot). Now, in ABAP, i need to get the raw data of this PDF. Any ideas ?

It's not OTF conversion or others.

Hi,

it's so strange. If i use report RSTXPDFT4, the downloaded file is not correct, the size is wrong and can not read the file. If i use transaction SP01, i can read the file correctly.

Use the function module FPCOMP_CREATE_PDF_FROM_SPOOL. If there's only one PDF (i.e. not a bundle), the parameter I_PARTNUM should be passed the integer value "1" I think (or try 0 if 1 doesn't work).
