CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF problem

Former Member — Thu, 15 Dec 2005 15:12:23 GMT

Hi all

I'm trying to send a sapscript via email.

The scenario is the sequent.

The mail is send correctly but I am not able to open the pdf file with acrobat reader.

I try to open the pdf file with notepad and it looks like other pdf file.

It's possible that something doesn't work correctly in the FM CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF?

bye

sample code:

REPORT YFINAL.

Data declarations

TYPES: pdf_nuc_line_t TYPE SOLI.

DATA: lt_pdf_nuc_data TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF SOLI.

data : output_options type ssfcompop, " To hold output options

control_parameters type ssfctrlop, " To hold control parameters

output_data type ssfcrescl, " To hold Output information

v_pdf_len type i,

pdf_table type rcl_bag_tline,

l_cline TYPE SOLISTI1.

DATA: FM_NAME TYPE RS38L_FNAM.

SELETION SCREEN

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B1 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-001.

data : p_FNAME TYPE RS38L_FNAM. "Smartform name

p_fname = 'YMSGTEST'.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK B1.

CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'

EXPORTING FORMNAME = p_fname

variant = ' '
direct_call = ' '

IMPORTING FM_NAME = FM_NAME

EXCEPTIONS NO_FORM = 1

NO_FUNCTION_MODULE = 2

if sy-subrc = 0.

write FM_NAME.

endif.

Set the output options and control parameters

Set control parameters to get the output format (OTF) from Smart Forms

control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.

control_parameters-langu = sy-langu.

Get device type

call function 'SSF_GET_DEVICE_TYPE'

EXPORTING

I feel there is some problem in sending the mail, to confirm that just download that to your PC and check

that you can open it or not .

this you can cross check whether you are sending correctly or not..,.

The problem is the same if I download the internal table with pdf file with gui_download FM.

So I don't think it's a email problem, isn't it?

Hi,

Is the file type you are using is "BIN" like in the following code:

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

BIN_FILESIZE =

FILENAME = 'c:/testhem/myfile.pdf'

FILETYPE = 'BIN'

TABLES

DATA_TAB = lt_pdf_table.

and use lt_pdf_table in the "objbin" of the mail sending FM.

Suman
