Converting sapscript to PDF, store it on application server

[Former Member]

I have gone through this entire forum a couple of times, and I cannot seem to find a solution for my problem.

Firstly, I am using SAP version 46C. Most solutions proposed use syntax or FM not available in 46C!!

I am using function module CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to convert sapscript to PDF.

Based on all your help so far, I have managed the space problem and converted length 134 to 255.

I then download teh information using the open dataset <> for output in binary mode command.

I think what is needed is to convert the character sting to a binary string? But the FM proposed in previous threads does not exist in our version.

I will give away a million to get this solved!

function z_create_pdf_file.

Hello Bhaskar

Thank you for your reply.

I have not used this website before, it's not really user friendly. I tried to search for PDF, but found no hits? How do I search? Is there somewhere specific where I must look?

Thank you
