You need a layout to convert it to pdf.

You could do the layout using WRITE or an ALV. and convert the spool to PDF using same logic as program RSTXPDFT4

In ABAP, there are only 2 converters to PDF, as far as I know:

• From ABAP List (WRITE, etc.)
• From OTF Format (SAPScript, Smart Form)

It's easy to convert any text into ABAP List or OTF format.

Search forum for more information.

PDF was intended to share some formatted text or picture, if you only want to transfer data use a data format such as XML, or generate a document (e.g. any spool) and convert it to pdf.

Use any tool from WRITE statements to ALV to generate a spool (many threads/questions already answered in the forum)

Check following FM to convert spool to pdf

• CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF
• CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF

There's an external library, too, but I haven't tried it yet: https://github.com/beraadim/zcl_pdf

Hi Community Members, After reading your comments I understood that I should write the file too and convert it spool. Thank you so much all of you
