Only use CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF for Abap spool not for OTF:

  CALL FUNCTION 'RSTS_GET_ATTRIBUTES'
    EXPORTING
      authority     = 'SP01'
      client        = tsp01-rqclient
      name          = tsp01-rqo1name
      part          = 1
    IMPORTING
      type          = type
      objtype       = objtype
    EXCEPTIONS
      fb_error      = 1
      fb_rsts_other = 2
      no_object     = 3
      no_permission = 4.
  IF objtype(3) = 'OTF'. "OTF
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'
    " ...
  ELSE. " Abap
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'
    " ...
  ENDIF.

madjied khanevadegi It's just impossible to store an image in a spool of type ABAP List. Consequently, you get "garbage" when you output to PDF because the spool is itself garbage. Probably the spool is not of type ABAP List, it's of type OTF. Please follow Raymond advice!

With SP01/SP02 check the icon associated to the spool, there are different icons for Abap spool, OTF spool, Interactive Forms by Adobe;etc. (Look at the displayed tooltip when the cursor move onto the icon.)
