Create a PDF file

Former Member — Tue, 30 May 2006 06:47:02 GMT

Dear all,

I need to create a file as type pdf and put some contents on it based on the requirement through ABAP program. To give a try, i started off with this.

FORM WRITE_FILE .

DATA: G_FILE(150),

WA_L.

vfile = 'test.pdf'.

CONCATENATE GFILE '\' VFILE INTO G_FILE.

OPEN DATASET G_FILE FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT IGNORING

CONVERSION ERRORS.

CONCATENATE 'Test' 'File' INTO RECORD.

TRANSFER RECORD TO G_FILE.

CLOSE DATASET G_FILE.

WA_L = 'X'.

IF WA_L = 'X'.

MESSAGE S038 WITH VFILE.

ENDIF.

ENDFORM.

When i execute this pgm, a file is been created with type pdf but when i try to open this file , it gives me an error like this: Acrobat reader cannot open 'test.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.

Any help ????

TIA,

sinthu

Hi sinthu,

1. We cannot open a .pdf file

in binary format,

and put our own contents in it.

2. It is not like a normal TEXT file.

3. PDF has got its own PRE-DEFINED

RAW format, which only, pdf software

can understand.

4. If we try to put our own data,

the whole pdf gets corrupted

(bcos the format/raw data gets disturbed)

5. and hence, the error !!!

6. Same is the case with word/excel files.

regards,

amit m.

So, what is the solution for this??? The user wants the details in the pdf format.

Thanks,

Hi Sinthu,

Can you specify what the "requirement" is...?

You can convert a Smartform or SAPScript output to a PDF file..

If that is the requirement, you can make use of standard program RSTXPDFT4 or using the Function Module

CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF.

Regards,

SP.

Former Member — Tue, 30 May 2006 07:02:54 GMT

Sinthu,

There are few standard Function Module available in sap to make pdf format. You can use either of there for making pdf files.

CONVERT_OTF ==> put data in STRUCTURE itcoo and pass and mention fromat as PDF.

You can use the function module SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF also for convertion.

Believe this will help you. If the reply found helpful, feed points for that.

Thanks,

Thomas Mann.

Hi SP,

This is not a sapscript or a smart form. Well, the requirement is, based on the customer performance, a report has to get generated in the .pdf format with the details of teh customers performance and send it to the hod's.

Hope u understand.

Thanks,

sinthu

Hi again,

1. One solution is

2. Emailing the report

in .pdf format.

3. Using SCOT settings (take help from basis team)

scot can be configured so that

when we try to send mail (sapscript/smartform)

it will AUTOMATICALLY CONVERT INTO PDF FORMAT,

and send it as attachment.

amit m.

Re: Create a PDF file

athavanraja — Tue, 30 May 2006 07:30:01 GMT

what you could do is

1. write a normal abap report program to fetch the report details.

2. after fetching the data and before using write statement

do the following

select single spld into usr01-spld from usr01 where bname eq sy-uname .

if sy-subrc eq 0 .

move: usr01-spld to loc_dest .

endif .

*move: 'RFAX' to loc_dest .

call function 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'

exporting

destination = loc_dest

copies = wf_copies

list_name = wf_listname

list_text = wf_listtext

immediately = ' '

release = ' '

new_list_id = 'X'

expiration = wf_days

line_size = 200

line_count = 65

layout = 'X_65_200'

sap_cover_page = 'X'

receiver = 'SAP*'

department = ''

no_dialog = 'X'

importing

out_parameters = wf_params

valid = wf_valid.

if wf_valid <> space.

new-page print on parameters wf_params no dialog.

perform write_summary .

new-page print off.

endif .

form write_summary.

here loop thru your itab and use write:/ to write itab content.

endform. " write_summary

This will create a spool and sy-spono will contain the spool number

now use FM

CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to convert the spool content to Pdf and

use

GUI_download to download the pdf content to local machine.
