Convert spoolfile to PDF

[Former Member]

Hi all,

understand that there are many references and information available for the above mentioned issue, but because the current SAP version 4.6B does not have FM such as CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF & CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF. So making it difficult to do codings for PDF conversion.

I would like to seek any advises from experts around, is there any other methods to convert spool file (SP02) to PDF files?

Appreciate your help , thanks.

Regards,

JL

Use the FM 'CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF' to get the PDF data from Spoll by passing the spol number if its a script or smartform related output.Or if its a list by ABAP program then use 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'. It will work.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'
