E-Mail with PDF attachment

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have data in internal table which I need to email with pdf attachment. I have tried using SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 and also with method add_attachment.

I am able to send as XLS but not as PDF.

I used FM SCMS_TEXT_TO_BINARY to convert internal table data to Binary and but no use.

It would be of great help If any one has a sample code of making this possible.

Thanks and Have a nice day!

Did you consider a search of the forum for PDF?

[Former Member]

Yes I did. It all talks about converting spool to pdf. I have internal table only, I am not writing to screen/list.

Thanks.

Try using FM CONVERT_OTF.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'

EXPORTING

format = 'PDF'

• MAX_LINEWIDTH = 132

• ARCHIVE_INDEX = ' '

• COPYNUMBER = 0

• ASCII_BIDI_VIS2LOG = ' '

• PDF_DELETE_OTFTAB = ' '

IMPORTING

bin_filesize = lv_filesize

• BIN_FILE = lv_pdf_file

TABLES

otf = ls_job_info-otfdata

lines = lt_pdf_table

EXCEPTIONS

err_max_linewidth = 1

err_format = 2

err_conv_not_possible = 3

err_bad_otf = 4

OTHERS = 5 .

Hi,

you could create a simple Smartform for this. It is quick to build and you can do some formatting stuff.

And for sending you could also use class CL_BCS.

Best regards,

Go to SPAD and create a new printer (copy from an existing working printer, give it any name like MAIL) and assign a "Device Type" as "PDF1". Now when you call the printer using your function module in your program it should ask for email, input your email parameter there in the program.
