Dear All,

I have to send PDF file which contains billing document number whose processing status not equal to 1. I am able to send mail with PDF attachment using class CL_BCS, but when I am trying to open PDF file in inbox it gives me an error as : Adobe reader could not open file ..... because it is either not a supported file or because the file is damaged.

below is the code:

Hy Mahadeo,

do you call the convert_to_pdf method while you call send_data method? The code you posted doesn't include a method call for convert_to_pdf.

Is an exception raised within your methods?

I would try with CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES to download the pdf you created first. Cause when you are able to download the pdf file & it opens correctly then you are sure, that the file can be mailed as well.

Kind regards,

Michael

Hi Michael,

Thanx for you reply.

I first call convert_to_pdf file and then send_data method. In my code I am not able to find the bug. are you able to find it?

I executed BCS_EXAMPLE_6 program it worked properly.

regards,

Mahadeo.

I think the attachment size you are ending in the ADD_ATTACHMENT method is not right.

You can try this.

At the end of convert_to_pdf method

Yours one :

"Get Size of String

g_pdf_size = XSTRLEN( g_pdf_xstring ).

g_pdf_size = l_lines * 2 * lc_255_size_cal.

should be :

"Get Size of String

g_pdf_size = XSTRLEN( g_pdf_xstring ).

g_pdf_size = g_pdf_size * 2.

  g_pdf_size = XSTRLEN( g_pdf_xstring  ).
 g_pdf_size = l_lines * 2 * lc_255_size_cal.

First is right, but second seems wrong. Delete/comment second line...

hello Thomas,

Ya I have commented that line.

former_member196157 · ‎2015 Aug 28

Hello all,

Please give suggestion on this problem. It is very urgent.

Now I stored data in table of type soli_tab and then converted it to type solix_tab but Same prob

data:

gt_alv_final_output TYPE soli_tab.

METHOD convert_to_pdf.

CONSTANTS:

"Constant value for calculation of size of table

lc_255_size_cal TYPE i VALUE 255.

DATA:

l_lines TYPE i.

try.

"Convert To Xstring

* g_pdf_xstring = cl_bcs_convert=>soli_to_xstring( gt_alv_final_output ).

* g_pdf_content = cl_bcs_convert=>xstring_to_solix( g_pdf_xstring ).

"Convert to solix_tab

g_pdf_content = cl_bcs_convert=>soli_to_solix( gt_alv_final_output ).

catch cx_bcs.

endtry.

"Get Size of String

* g_pdf_size = xstrlen( g_pdf_xstring ).

DESCRIBE TABLE gt_alv_final_output LINES L_LINES.

"Size to multiplied by 2 for UNICODE enabled systems

g_pdf_size = L_LINES * 2 * lc_255_size_cal.

ENDMETHOD.

Your code to get file size is wrong.

What if actuall file has lets say 123 bytes? Your code would return 1*2*255 = 500 bytes file!

What is "gt_alv_final_output"? In first post it is XSTRING, but in this last post it is probably type SOLI_TAB (beacuse of used method: cl_bcs_convert=>soli_to_solix)...

Where and how are you actually getting PDF binary data? Your method convert_to_pdf is only converting unknown data: gt_alv_final_output to binary SOLIX_TAB.

former_member196157 · ‎2015 Aug 28

hello Tomas,

My gt_alv_final_output contains below data.

XXX invoices are checked, thereof XXX are archived correctly. “

2 invoices are archived incorrectly:

9xxxxxxx

PDF_content contains actual PDF binary data. I think data is converted in wrong form.

I am trying various conversion methods to convert data to SOLIX_TAB format.

Tomas_Buryanek · ‎2015 Aug 28

But what is the type of gt_alv_final_output variable?

It looks like you are converting simple text to binary data... If you name that file file.pdf it will still be text and not PDF format.

-- Tomas --

former_member196157 · ‎2015 Aug 28

hello Tomas,

gt_alv_final_output is of TYPE soli_tab.

How to convert it into PDF format then? I checked example BCS_EXAMPLE_6 and BCS_EXAMPLE_8, they are converting it into OTF format first and then the imported value of table and size is passed to add attachment method.

Tomas_Buryanek · ‎2015 Aug 28

Yes, these are good example programs.

You can create PDF by:

a) converting spool to PDF, like in BCS_EXAMPLE_8

b) calling "Adobe print form" (form is created in transaction SFP), like in BCS_EXAMPLE_6

These are probably most used methods.

-- Tomas --

former_member196157 · ‎2015 Aug 28

hello Tomas,

But in my case I cant convert spool to PDF. I just have to pass selected billing number from table in PDF file. I am not getting the proper way to convert data into PDF format.
