Pdf file unreadable

[lijo_raj2]

Hi Experts,

I have a program where it sends an email to the customer with a PDF file as an attachment. But in one scenario the attachment couldnot be opened. While trying to open the pdf file it shows an error 'Adobe reader couldnot open the file because either it is not a supported file or because the file has been damaged'.

As we are not able to reproduce the same issue in Development we are not able to find the exact reason for this. Can you please give me some points which possibly could be the reasons for this error.

Did you recently upgrade the system? SAP note 787418 should be able to help you on this.

hi ,

I have faced the same problem , but i solved it using OOPS .

You can use it.Below is the code

TRY.

• -------- create persistent send request ------------------------

send_request = cl_bcs=>create_persistent( ).

• -------- create and set document -------------------------------

pdf_content1 = cl_document_bcs=>xstring_to_solix( bin_file1 ).

READ TABLE i_packing_list INDEX 1.

document = cl_document_bcs=>create_document(

i_type = 'RAW'

i_text = li_text

i_subject = l_mtitle ).

READ TABLE i_packing_list INDEX 2.

document->add_attachment( i_attachment_type = 'PDF'

i_attachment_subject = l_mtitle1

i_att_content_hex = pdf_content1 ).

• add document object to send request

send_request->set_document( document ).

• --------- add recipient (e-mail address) -----------------------

• create recipient object

recipient = cl_cam_address_bcs=>create_internet_address( mailto ).

• add recipient object to send request

send_request->add_recipient( i_recipient = recipient

i_express = 'X' i_copy = lx_copy ).

• send_request->add_recipient( recipient ).

• ---------- send document ---------------------------------------

sent_to_all = send_request->send( i_with_error_screen = 'X' ).

CATCH cx_bcs INTO bcs_exception.

ENDTRY.
