Problem with PDF generation

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am using FM u2018u2019 to convert spool to PDF using below code:

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'

EXPORTING

src_spoolid = v_sid u201Cspool id

no_dialog = c_x u201CX

dst_device = c_dest u201CLOCL

TABLES

pdf = it_pdf

EXCEPTIONS

err_no_abap_spooljob = 1

err_no_spooljob = 2

err_no_permission = 3

err_conv_not_possible = 4

err_bad_destdevice = 5

user_cancelled = 6

err_spoolerror = 7

err_temseerror = 8

err_btcjob_open_failed = 9

err_btcjob_submit_failed = 10

err_btcjob_close_failed = 11

OTHERS = 12.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno

WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

ENDIF.

However, when I check the generated PDF table it is not in readable format:

Hi,

when you convert spool to PDF using the FM 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF' after execuitng the FM the required table

it_PDF will get filled with junk character only. That is for 132 character will come after you need to convert it into 255 characters

after that only you can able to visble data. If you are sending as a mail attachments directly converted data you can pass into mail body that will work fine.

After converting PDF you can FM - QCE1_CONVERT to convert the Binary data in readble format. The FM also solve character lenght issue when character lenght is more then 132 characters
