[former_member550878]

Hi Experts,

I have a requirement where I need to convert internal table data into PDF format and send it as an E-Mail with PDF attachment.

How do I achieve this .

I dont have any smart form or SCript...

In Fact I don't want to use SPOOL....

Is there any way to convert Internal Table to PDF.....

Please Guide....

Hi,

The function module SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 can be used to send mail.

Here in TABLES, for packing_list: pass doc_type as 'PDF' and it may happen. (I have used the same for excel attachment with XLS as doc_type and it worked). Go through function module documentation and you will get some idea.

Hi Anurodh,

See below steps to get a table in a report to PDF

1) Generate the classical Report output .

2) Create a Spool Request .

3) Search the Spool Request .

4) Submit the Spool Request for Pdf Creation .

5) Download the Pdf Output in Presentation server or Application Server .

Prashanti

PDF is a form of output, now you want to create this without creating an output, does not make sense to me. You should maybe rethink your approach and work with a temporary spool output to get your PDF, as often described here. Or explain more about the background of your issue.
