Creating a spool request from pdf xstring/binary_tab

Former Member — Thu, 01 Mar 2018 15:12:01 GMT

Hi guys!

For the project I'm on I have to create a merged pdf from a generated adobe form & a pdf-file from the fileserver.
I've got both pdf's merged into a xstring and now I want to output this xstring to a spool request to print.

Anybody got some experience with that?

Thanks in advance!!

Have you tried looking at CL_RSPO_SPOOL_HANDLE? I can't get there as I'm on a lower SAP version.

therwise with a google search on:

SAP print xstring

I found:

https://answers.sap.com/questions/89858/how-to-print-pdf-document-which-is-contained-in-a.html

There are many other answers. A different answer may be a better way to do it.

I see in your question, that you assume the merging of 2 PDF is obvious, but I'm curious how you did it, because it can be done only via a complex logic (external software). Differently said, how did you make sure that the xstring corresponds to a valid PDF? After that will come the question how to print it...

I did it with an external nugg you can install on your system.
