Convert binary to pdf

Former Member — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 16:10:06 GMT

Hi experts,

We're using a Z function to read the activity's attachment and send it from mail.

the problem occurs when the attachment is of type .DOC, and in the mail the attachment is corrupt.

Now, we would convert the binary of the document from .DOC but as PDF.

for send mail we are using CL_BCS.

CALL METHOD cl_document->get_document

EXPORTING

io = ls_io

IMPORTING

properties = lt_properties

content_bin = lt_binary

content_ascii = lt_ascii.

CALL METHOD document->add_attachment

EXPORTING

i_attachment_type = file_type -> FILE TYPE RETURNED FROM LT_PROPERTIES

i_attachment_subject = file_des

i_att_content_hex = binary_content.

Anybody has any ideas?

Best regards

Marco.

I convert the binary to xstring, then I call a web service that converts the xstring to PDF and returns that back as an xstring. In my case, I think webservice is part of documentum system, perhaps, but not certain. At any rate, you need something that will read binary or xstring and do the conversion to portable data format and return xstring or binary table back to you.
