Blank lines between data when Converting Spool to Pdf

[Former Member]

Hi Everyone,

When I convert Spool to Pdf, I get some additional blank line between each line containing data.

But these blank lines are not present in the spool.

Could anyone tell me the reason for the same and how to resolve it as I don't need these blank lines in Pdf.

Thanks

Hi Kush,

Let us know, How are you converting spool to PDF? Using custom logic calling function modules or calling standard programs(like RSTXPDFT4) ?

Hi Sravan,

I am creating Spool using NEW-PAGE PRINT ON NO DIALOG PARAMETERS l_params and then passing the spool number in FM CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF. To get print parameters am using FM GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS.

Hi Sharma,

        Can i know , how to get the spool id dynamically to get form in pdf using  SUBMIT RSTXPDFT4 ?

In the above code, after getting spool no. & preparing file name, call program RSTXPDFT4 and see how the PDF is.

Hi Sravan,

I used the spool number generated from SP01 and passed it externally to RSTXPDF4 in se38 but I am still getting the same result.
