Converting PDF to xstring

Former Member — Sat, 12 Jan 2013 08:56:34 GMT

Hi All,

I need to integrate the adobe form with a web dynpro component so that when the user clicks on print preview on the portal, our ZAdobe form is triggered.

To integrate it with the web dynpro component, i require a FM which gives the xstring value of the PDF.

I have written a print program which creates a spool request job when it is triggered.

How to get the spool id with the help of the sales order document number ? Is there any other way to get the specific spool id dynamically ?

Using this spool id, which contains the PDF, I will be converting it into xstring.

Kindly help..

Thank & Regards,

Chaitanya

The spool id is in sy-spono.

The table for spool number is TSP01.

Hi Chaitanya,

Use JOB_OUTPUT_INFO TYPE SSFCRESCL which contains the Spool ID number. The interface created should be Smartforms compatible.

Hope this helps.

Hi Chaitanya,

You can use the FM CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to convert PDF data that you get from OTF_CONVERT to xstring using spool no.

Please have a look at this:http://scn.sap.com/message/7866535

Reward if helpful.
