Processing Boleto - Read PDF without ADS

[Former Member]

Hi,

We receive Boletos from different banks which comes to a mail group as a pdf attachment. We need to read the pdf file and get few values and update it in our SAP Invoices for further processing. We need a way to read PDF file and get appropriate values without usage of XI/PI and ADS connection. Could you please guide us with this. Thanks.

Regards,

Hi,

You can refer to class CL_GUI_PDFVIEWER. Call this class in background and it has a FIND_TEXT which you can use to find some text.

You can also refer to link

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
