Multiple documents in a PDF conversion

Former Member — Fri, 13 Oct 2006 12:24:54 GMT

Hello everyone,

I am writing a piece of ABAP which will convert a spool

file into a PDF file. This works fine where there is just

one document i.e. invoice to convert.

There is a file which will contain say 50 invoices and if

I run my ABAP it will convert the 50 invoices into just

one PDF file. Are there any techniques which will allow

me to split a spool file with the 50 invoices into 50

separate PDF files.

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers

Andy

can you show your code?

call the fm: CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF every time with a new spool number.

It would return a new internal table with odf data every time its being called.

Hello Andy,

If you start your convert from SAP spool, your are right it's too late to make 1 PDF file per invoice.

According of your SAP version, it's possible to create directly PDF file from SD application.

Otherwise, you have to split your invoice spool in ordrer to generate 1 PDF file per spool.

Thanks for your reply.

Perhaps I'm not explaining myself very well.

Each individual spool file will have 50 invoices on it.

Calling the fm will simply convert this into a PDF

containing 50 invoices. I somehow need to split the

spool file into 50 individual PDF documents.
