Hi,

Use function module "SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF" or "CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF"

Another option is for Smart Forms to return OTF and for you to convert it to PDF yourself:

Get the name of the generated function module using the function module SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME (see also: Integrating the Smart Form into the Application).

To get a device type suitable for the current language, call the function module SSF_GET_DEVICE_TYPE.

Set the device type using the parameter TDPRINTER of the standard parameter OUTPUT_OPTIONS (see also: Output Options). Transfer this parameter, together with the parameters for the OTF output, to the generated Smart Forms function module, as described under Returning a Form as a Table to the Application Program.

Get the OTF output from table OTFDATA of the standard parameter JOB_OUTPUT_INFO (see also: Querying the Output Result).

To convert the OTF output to PDF, transfer the OTF table to the function module CONVERT_OTF. To do this, set the parameter FORMAT to 'PDF'. The output can be returned either as a binary string (parameter BIN_FILE) or as a character table (parameter LINES). SAP recommends the first variant.

You can then store the PDF output using the function module GUI_DOWNLOAD, for example, as a local file on your PC.

It is also possible to send the PDF output in a BSP application to the Web browser for display (as of Internet Explorer 5.5 with Support Package 2). You can display a Smart Form in the BSP application SF_WEBFORM_04 as a PDF in the browser or in a separate window. OTF is converted to PDF (as described above) in the event handler OnInitialization of the BSP page pdfform.pdf.

hi,

Check this for smartform to PDF

All you have to do is call your SF to get OTF and then concert it to PDF. Works like charm:

s_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.

s_control_parameters-getotf = 'X'.

CALL FUNCTION v_func_name "call your smartform

EXPORTING

output_options = s_output_options

control_parameters = s_control_parameters

IMPORTING

job_output_info = s_job_output_info

call function 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'

tables

otf = s_job_output_info-otfdata

lines = t_pdf
