click on the print button of Print Prieview

then u will get the spool number.

go to SE38 -> report name 'RSTXPDFT4' run it and give the spool number and run that report.

It will ask you to save that print in PDF.

Hi Ramya,

You can use FM CONVERT_OTF for this purpose.

This FM is used to convert the OTF format (From Script /Smartform) to the PDF or ASCI format.

OTF will be generated after the Smart form / Script displayed

You can get the OTF from the SMART_FORM function module parameters.

In case of SAP Script, it will come from CLOSE_FORM Function.

Or you can use program RSTXPDFT4 in se38 for the same.

Here you need to pass spool number that you will get from Transaction SP02.

Regards,

Nitin.

hi,

you can use 'CONVERT_OTF'

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'

EXPORTING

FORMAT = 'PDF'

IMPORTING

BIN_FILESIZE = PDF_SIZE

BIN_FILE = PDF_DATA

TABLES

OTF = LT_OTFDATA[]

LINES = L_DUMMY

EXCEPTIONS

ERR_MAX_LINEWIDTH = 1

ERR_FORMAT = 2

ERR_CONV_NOT_POSSIBLE = 3

ERR_BAD_OTF = 4

Hi Ramya,

Thers is not facility to display PO in pdf format.

Write enhancemnt or user exit to convert the spool into pdf.

Use CONVERT_OTF fm to create the pdf document using spool number .
