Hi Enzo,

1. There can be many possible causes for it.

2. a) Checkout the SCOT settings

(basis team may help u out)

b) In ur pgoram code,

mention attachment type as 'PDF'

instead of 'BIN'.

I Hope it helps.

Hi all,

I'm using the PDF type.

More, I have opened the 2 pdf file on my pc:

one downloaded with download FM,

one downloaded from the email.

The first one opens normaly, the other no.

I try to open they with a notepad.

I have seen that in the attached file missing some rows (many, eg. the line with EOF) that are present in the file downloaded with FM.

Does it suggest nothing to anyone?

Bye

Hi Enzo,

You can also try this.. it is a Table entry but this is usually done by BASIS..

TABLE: SXSERV

KEY: NODE = INTIMAL, ADDR_TYPE = INT

change the fields CONVERT_S, CONVERT_L, CONVERT_O, and CONVERT_T to 'PDF'.

I open the pdf with a program named ConText is an simple text editor.

Hi Suresh,

I saw the table SXSERV, but there aren't the fields you said to change?

Hi Enzo,

What version are you on? I am on 47 and used this very table to fix our PDF email issue..

Hi,

Once you are ready with pdf data in an internal table try to use the following code:

count the number of lines in an internal table and store them in tab_lines

CLEAR objpack-transf_bin.

objpack-transf_bin = 'X'.

objpack-head_start = 0.

objpack-head_num = 0.

objpack-body_start = 0.

objpack-body_num = tab_lines.

objpack-doc_type = 'pdf'.

objpack-doc_size = tab_lines * 255.

APPEND objpack.

CLEAR objpack.

objbin: contains the attachment contents

• Sending the document

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'

EXPORTING

document_data = doc_chng

put_in_outbox = 'X'

commit_work = 'X'

TABLES

packing_list = objpack

contents_txt = objtxt

contents_bin = objbin

receivers = reclist

EXCEPTIONS

too_many_receivers = 1

document_not_sent = 2

operation_no_authorization = 4

OTHERS = 99.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

SUBMIT rsconn01 WITH mode = 'INT' AND RETURN.

ENDIF.

Try to give app. points if it helps your requirement.
