Dear anburaja,

SAP have created a standard program RSTXPDFT4 to convert your Sapscripts spools into a PDF format.

Specify the spool number and you will be able to download the sapscripts spool into your local harddisk.

It look exactly like what you see during a spool display.

Please note that it is not restricted to sapsciprts spool only. Any reports in the spool can be converted using the program 'RSTXPDFT4'.
