Trigger your sapscipt print program. The function module CLOSE_FORM can return the sap script in OTF format.

Using the function module CONVERT_OTF you can transform that to an internal table with the contents of the pdf.

I believe you'll have to transform that internal table to a string, and that you can use in a WDA view to show the original form as a pdf

I don't have any sample progam lying around that does all that no. A lot can be found on google though.

I suggest you check our the print program first. Once you have that, you can easily adapt/recreate it to return the otf. Converting it to an internal table and a string should be easy.

Then look around on the internet on how to show a pdf in webdynpro (and again, there are a lot of tutorials on de subject around)

What do you mean by saying "using Webdynpro"?

SAP Script to PDF, doesn't require Webdynpro at all. It just needs a call to function module CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF.

What is the relevance of the word "Webdynpro" here?

Thanks,

Juwin
