Hi,

You can use

DATA : l_pdf TYPE fpcontent,

pdftab TYPE solix_tab.

pdftab = cl_document_bcs=>xstring_to_solix( ip_xstring = l_pdf ).

You will get contents in pdftab.

Let me know if this works...

Hi,

If you get the data (xstring) in your context you can extract the data. An example of this can be found in the report FP_PDF_TEST_03.

Check the source of the report and you will see what you need to extract the data from the PDF.
