Generate Spool with one single PDF Document not Multiple PDF Documents.

Former Member — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 20:20:06 GMT

Hi Everyone,

we have a requirement to generate a single PDF document in a Spool, currently multiple PDF documents are getting generated in a single spool request.

For example.

if we create a plain adobe form with simple text "HELLO", and we call this form (or corresponding FM) thrice between fp_job_open and fp_job_close, we want to generate a single PDF document in spool. currently we are getting 3 different PDF document for the same.

currently i am using below code with no success-

Hi Akash,

You are calling (Generated function module) gv_fm_name_1 in a loop or using DO statement. By this there will be 3 different outputs issued.

Declare the Interface type as a Smartform compatible interface by doing this you can retrieve the OTF data for each entry in loop.

Move the OTF data of each entry to the final OTF table. ( Do not overwrite the OTF data )

Once you have the final OTF data table then by using CONVERT_OTF you can simply create a single pdf for all the outputs.

Let me know if need additional info on this.

Thanks,

Hi Akash,

what SAP Netweaver and ADS Version are you using - Are you using ABAP and JAVA ADS?

I can write that when using the configuration ABAP and ABAP ADS the spool contained indeed only one PDF Document with more pages and not more documents. At least it looked like this in print preview - when downloading the PDF from there, the whole PDF was downloaded with all the pages. With the new system settings, ABAP and JAVA ADS + ABAP EHP6 we are not able to do this anymore. I am able to download only each page.

With the current system settings I am able to use the option assemble only with using the option getpdf = 'X'. If I use this option, getpdf 'X' no spool is generated. Did you find a solution in the meantime?

Thanks and Best regards!
