Convert to PDF

Former Member — Tue, 10 Oct 2006 03:19:40 GMT

Hello,

I've used FM CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF with the Spool number as a parameter. This returned a table, PDF STRUCTURE TLINE, which I am not able to save with .pdf extension in the debug mode.

I would like to be able to save it with .pdf without

running GUI_DOWNLOAD or SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.

I know if I pass this file to either of the FM, they will

produce a .pdf file, but why can't I just save it as .pdf

before calling these FM's.

Thanks,

Alex.

Check this code it may help u.

DESCRIBE TABLE IT_OTF LINES GV_LINE.

SOOD-OBJLEN = GV_LINE.

CONTENT_IN[] = IT_OTF[].

CALL FUNCTION 'SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF'

EXPORTING

FORMAT_SRC = 'OTF'

FORMAT_DST = 'PDF'

DEVTYPE = 'HPLJ5SI'

LEN_IN = SOOD-OBJLEN

TABLES

CONTENT_IN = CONTENT_IN

CONTENT_OUT = CONTENT_OUT

EXCEPTIONS

ERR_CONV_FAILED = 1

OTHERS = 2.

Ravi,

Thanks for your reply.

Here is what I get in one table:

1 255044462D312E330D0A25E2E3CFD30D0A322030206F626A0D0A3C3C0D0A2F54797065202F<

2 79706520485034313030202020466F6E742048454C5645202020206E6F726D616C204C616E<

and here is what I get in another table:

1 //XHP4100 0700 0000000000 <

2 IN01EZCUSTACCTSTAT FIRST <

3 OPLETTER P 144 240 1581712189000010000100001 <

If I try to save it as .pdf at this point, I can not open them as pdf files once saved.

So, what do I need to do to save them as .pdf?
