Error while opening pdf attachment

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am using CL_BCS to send the mail with PDF attachment.

Mail is being delivered to the recipent but in some cases PDF is not opening.

It giving error "File is damaged or could not be opened".

I am not getting why this happening with some PDF attachments. I am using the following code to convert data into binary form.

LOOP AT data_bin INTO ls_raw.

ASSIGN ls_raw-line TO <fs_converter> CASTING.

CONCATENATE l_xtr <fs_converter> INTO l_xtr IN BYTE MODE.

ENDLOOP.

IF l_xtr IS NOT INITIAL.

CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'

EXPORTING

buffer = l_xtr

TABLES

binary_tab = lt_att_content_hex1.

Thanks.

Hi

I think it depends on the table DATA_BI has, how do you fill it?

I am fetting thr data from FM 'SCMS_R3DB_GET' in table DATA_BIN.

CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_R3DB_GET'

EXPORTING

crep_id = crepid "'SOFFDB'

doc_id = docid

mandt = sy-mandt

comp_id = comp_id

IMPORTING

binary_flg = binary_flg

comp_size = size

mimetype = mimetype

TABLES

data_txt = data_txt

data_bin = data_bin

EXCEPTIONS

error_import = 1

error_config = 2

OTHERS = 3.

Thanks.

Hi,

You can try below code.

TRY.

lr_document = cl_document_bcs=>create_document(

i_type = 'RAW'

i_text = lt_bodytext

i_length = ln_textlength

i_subject = l_subject ).

attdoctype = 'pdf'.

attsize = XSTRLEN( l_pdf ).

pdftab = cl_document_bcs=>xstring_to_solix( ip_xstring = l_pdf ).

lr_document->add_attachment( EXPORTING i_attachment_type = attdoctype

i_attachment_subject = atttitle

i_attachment_size = attsize

i_attachment_language = sy-langu

i_att_content_hex = pdftab ).

send_request = cl_bcs=>create_persistent( ).

send_request->set_document( lr_document ).

• Get sender object

sender = cl_sapuser_bcs=>create( sy-uname ).

send_request->set_sender( i_sender = sender ).

recipient = cl_cam_address_bcs=>create_internet_address( ic_email_address ).

send_request->add_recipient( EXPORTING i_recipient = recipient ).

send_request->set_send_immediately( 'X' ).

send_request->send( ).

CATCH cx_bcs INTO lr_bcs_exception.

lc_text = lr_bcs_exception->get_text( ).

MESSAGE lc_text TYPE 'E'.

ENDTRY.

Let me know if this works for you.

Hi,

Thanks Rahul. But I had done the required changes that you have written but still some of the pdf attachment is not opening, giving the same error that file is damaged and could not be repaired.

Thanks.

Hi,

Please check the parameter

i_attachment_size = attsize

... If the attachment size or file size is small when compared to the actual then the reported error would turn up. Try increasing the file size and check. Although i have not used OO for sending mails....some hint for overcoming this error, hope this helps you.
