I want to send email with attachment (pdf) with function SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1. It works. There is only one problem: I need oblong format, but I get vertical format. What has to be done ?

Hello Marion

Where do you generate the pdf document? As SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 can only send already exitisting documents, it can't be responsible for the content or layout.

The layout of the pdf must be manipulated in the creation (sx_object_convert_otf_pdf for example).

Greetings Jochen

Hi Marion,

I hope the following code will be useful for you to solve your issue or you can visit the following link.

http://www.sapdevelopment.co.uk/reporting/rep_spooltopdf.htm

Convert Spool request to PDF and send as e-mail

The code below demonstrates how to retrieve a spool request and email it as a PDF document.

Please note for the below program to process a spool request the program must be executed in background

otherwise no spool request will be created. Also see transaction SCOT for SAPConnect administration.

Hello Jochen,

thank you for your help. I use FB within an ABAP. The content of the list is stored in an internal table. I loop at this table and the FB gets every line. This list - written also from this internal table - is OK. The length is 132 bytes. Doesn't this work. Do you know any other FB i could use e.g. CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, but there is no documentation.

Greetings

Marion

Hi Elini,

thank you for your help. I tried to start the program. It worked an I got an email, but the text is still vertical. Anothr problem: I'd like to use this part of your example:

***********************************

Alternative way could be to submit another program and store spool
id into memory.

*submit ZSPOOLTOPDF2

to sap-spool
spool parameters %_print
archive parameters %_print
without spool dynpro
and return.

************************************

But I got error-messages referring to %_print. Therefore I could not activate the report. Do you know, if a documentations existd.

Greetings

Marion

Hello Marion

I haven't used CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF but in the parameter DST_DEVICE you can select the Output device (eg. printer) which is used for the layout of the pdf.

If you create a virtual printer with an appropriate device type and format (landscape only) you should get your pdf in landscape format.

However I haven't tested this, but used an similar approach to force landcsape format in fax output.

Good luck

Jochen

This may help......

Use MAIL as the output device. This works when outputting a SAPscript.

Alternatively, make the report a SAPscript and this makes it much easier. You can change the orientation on the SAPscript header. When you are called OPEN_FORM make sure the device is MAIL not PRINTER.

I have done this and it works fine and was very easy.

Kind regards

Colin.
