I guess you are asking how to convert a PDF file which you view using ZTEST1 into base64.

You don't say where this PDF file is stored, how it's stored, so it's impossible to answer.

Okay. ztest1 contains a adobeforms. i want to submit ztest1 from ztest2. and returning xstring or base64.

Don't use submit. Rewrite your code for ztest1 so that the work is done in a class, then from ztest2 call an appropriate method in the class.

I still don't understand what your program exactly does. "contains a adobeforms" doesn't explain much compared to "pdf viewer". It's too few words for me, sorry.

If your question is not specific to PDF, Xstring, Base64 or whatever, and in fact you just ask how to make a submitted program return data to the calling program, Matthew has given you the best solution as per the information you have given, and a worse solution would be to use EXPORT and IMPORT, as already said in the forum.
