What does the XSTRING contain? (I know it contains bytes, but what these bytes correspond to, semantically speaking)

It's like asking "how to convert XSTRING to STRING", it's missing information about their contents: does XSTRING contains encoded text and in which code page/character set, or does it contain something else that you want to cast as is into a STRING. Etc.

I believe you want to convert XSTRING to PDF. Is that xstring is being converted from string? Is it so, you can convert XSTRING to STRING and can follow the below thread, it will solve your query.

Below thread explains you can convert an internal table to PDF.

https://answers.sap.com/questions/6605845/create-spool-from-internal-table--converrt-the-spo.html

Else you can explain your complete scenario, so that someone can help you.

Thanks,

We do have a standard program "RSPO_TEST_MERGE_PDF_FILES" which suits your scenario. The program has a subroutine "merge_pdf" which merges multiple pdf to single file.

Thanks,
