Hi Kelly

I do not know whether you still seek for an answer but here is a sample whºch I didn't try on a system but may give an idea:

CALL FUNCTION sf_func_name "smartform calling function"
  EXPORTING
    output_options = ...
    control_parameters = ...
  IMPORTING
    job_output_info = <i><job_output_info></i> .

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'
  EXPORTING
    use_otf_mc_cmd = 'X'
  IMPORTING
    bin_filesize = <i><pdf_file_size></i>
  TABLES
    otf = <i><job_output_info></i>-otfdata
    lines = <i><pdf_tab></i> .

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
  EXPORTING
    bin_filesize = <i><pdf_file_size></i>
    filename = <i><pdf_file_name></i>
    filetype = 'BIN'
    mode = space
  IMPORTING
    filelength = <i><pdf_file_size></i>
  TABLES
    data_tab = <i><pdf_tab></i>
  EXCEPTIONS
...

Hope this much helps

Regards

Hi all,

I´m using the function "

CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF

", this function convert a spool order to PDF file, with this function Can I separate in several PDF file only one spool order?.

For example if in one spool order I have 5 pages, I need separate the pages, in one pdf file the page 1 to 2 and in another one the pages 3 to 5, it is this possible.

Thank.

Jhon

Hi Kelly,

Hi!

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

Hope this helps!

Regards,

Ankur

Hi everyone SDNer!!!

I'm gettting trouble with converting Smartform to PDF and displaying Unicode in PDF output.

Instead of letters it displays '#'. Can you tell me why?

BR,Reno_D

P.S. Thank you for reply. I can't guess the right thing.

Hello !

I'm in the same situation than Reno D.

We try to convert a smartform to PDF in slovakian language and we have 2 kinds of problem :

- certain special caracters are displayed as #

- other special caracters are displayed correctly but the next caracter is displayed at the same place (written over the special one)

Could someone help us ?

Thanks in advance

After investigation we have found a solution.

2 actions are required :

- You must create a device with good unicode in SPAD transaction. (For SK it is an ISO latin 2 device.)

Affect this device to concerned users.

Before calling smartform, put the user default print in the device parameters

- Use a policy containing good caracters.

ex COURRIER policy doesn't contain all special SK caracters whereas TIMES or HELVETIC do.

Good luck
