Hi,

can you explain what exactly the problem? Do you have the file on the application server after execution your program is complete? How do you manage to see the file with these symbols?

You can't tranfer the whole PDF data with just one transfer statement, instead you have to loop that table and transfer the data to the file until you reach the last row.


  open dataset pr_file for output in binary mode."text mode encoding  NON-UNICODE.
  if sy-subrc  0.
    exit.
  endif.
  loop at fp_formoutput-pdf  *****************
    transfer fp_formoutput-pdf  to pr_file. 
  endloop.
  close dataset pr_file.
  clear :fp_formoutput-pdf,lv_file.

You need to try checking you file, if it is correct. If the file on server is not correct, you need to add catching exceptions (like CX_SY_FILE_OPEN, CX_SY_CODEPAGE_CONVERTER_INIT etc.).

I still don't know what is wrong, if the PDF file is created succesfully and you can see it in the AL11, I don't see where the problem is. Obviously you won't get to see the PDF file via AL11 to check whether the file is corrupted or not after creating it.

One thing you can do to check that out is using the standard FM ARCHIVEFILE_SERVER_TO_CLIENT. This way you can download the file you've just created to your PC and open it there, so you can check if the file in the server is OK.

As said you won't see pdf via AL11.

Just a thought, try to write extension "pdf" in lower case.
