If you paste the code would be good to identify the problem

Here are the steps to convert to PDF, I guess there is a problem while converting.

1. call the smart form FM

call function '/xxx/xxxx'
EXPORTING
user_settings = space
control_parameters = control_parameters
output_options = output_options
IMPORTING
job_output_info = output_data
TABLES
zsystems = lt_sys
EXCEPTIONS
formatting_error = 1
internal_error = 2
send_error = 3
user_canceled = 4
others = 5.

2. convert the OTF data to PDF

call function 'CONVERT_OTF'
EXPORTING
format = 'PDF'
IMPORTING
bin_filesize = l_pdf_len
bin_file = l_pdf_xstring
TABLES
OTF = OUTPUT_DATA-OTFDATA
LINES = LT_LINES
EXCEPTIONS
err_max_linewidth = 1
err_format = 2
err_conv_not_possible = 3
err_bad_otf = 4
others = 5.

IMPORTING

bin_filesize = filesize

lines = t_pdf

EXCEPTIONS

err_conv_not_possible = 1

ENDIF.

Hi DurgaPrasad,

PDF File opening error occurs when the file was created with empty data. I guess the internal table you were passing to PDF was empty.

Please check if you have enabled following option before calling Smart Form function module.

CONTROL_PARAMETERS-GETOTF = 'X'

Also make sure that you get the OTF data back from following internal table.

JOB_OUTPUT_INFO-OTFDATA
