Send Smart-Forms to Folder

[Former Member]

Dear all.

Dear all

When the document is Printed 2 Messages will be created:

- First, will send the document to the Printer

- Second, we need to convert the message to PDF and to send this message to a specified Folder that is located in a different server.

At this point, understand that it is possible to send the message to folder using ZPDF device.

Now I have 2 more questions:

1 – It’s possible to send the message to an web service? Example, message to Purchase order.

2 – I need to include some metadata in the PDF Files example:

- Title, Subject, Keyword and summary fields

Thanks in advanced

Best Regards

Hi Pedro,

We are using the following technique. May be you can try this :

Step1: Call the SSF function with

*Calling of Form in PDF Format

CALL FUNCTION LF_FM_NAME

EXPORTING

ARCHIVE_INDEX = TOA_DARA

ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS = ARC_PARAMS

CONTROL_PARAMETERS = LS_CONTROL_PARAM

MAIL_RECIPIENT = LS_RECIPIENT

MAIL_SENDER = LS_SENDER

OUTPUT_OPTIONS = LS_COMPOSER_PARAM

USER_SETTINGS = 'X'

I_HEADER = I_HEADER

NAST = NAST

REPEAT = REPEAT

TITLE = V_TITLE

V_GEWEI_X = V_GEWEI_X

IMPORTING

JOB_OUTPUT_INFO = JOB_OUTPUT_INFO

JOB_OUTPUT_OPTIONS = JOB_OUTPUT_OPTIONS

TABLES

EXCEPTIONS

FORMATTING_ERROR = 1

INTERNAL_ERROR = 2

SEND_ERROR = 3

USER_CANCELED = 4

OTHERS = 5.

Step2: convert into PDF :

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'

EXPORTING

FORMAT = 'PDF'

IMPORTING

BIN_FILESIZE = G_FILESIZE

TABLES

OTF = JOB_OUTPUT_INFO-OTFDATA

LINES = I_PDF_TAB

EXCEPTIONS

ERR_MAX_LINEWIDTH = 1

ERR_FORMAT = 2

ERR_CONV_NOT_POSSIBLE = 3

ERR_BAD_OTF = 4

OTHERS = 5.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

MESSAGE S000(ZV) WITH 'Unable to download PDF file'.

ELSE.

MESSAGE S000(ZV) WITH 'PDF file downloaded Successfully'.

ENDIF.

Step3:Get the file name and use data sets:

CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME_USING_PATH'

EXPORTING

LOGICAL_PATH = L_LOGICALPATH

FILE_NAME = L_INFILE

IMPORTING

FILE_NAME_WITH_PATH = L_FILE

EXCEPTIONS

PATH_NOT_FOUND = 1

MISSING_PARAMETER = 2

OPERATING_SYSTEM_NOT_FOUND = 3

FILE_SYSTEM_NOT_FOUND = 4

OTHERS = 5.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

MESSAGE S000(ZV) WITH 'Unable to download PDF file'.

ELSE.

MESSAGE S000(ZV) WITH 'PDF file downloaded Successfully'.

ENDIF.

IF NOT I_PDF_TAB[] IS INITIAL.

*---opens application server file

OPEN DATASET L_FILE FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.

"encoding default.

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.

LOOP AT I_PDF_TAB.

TRANSFER I_PDF_TAB TO L_FILE.

ENDLOOP.

*--- closes error file

CLOSE DATASET L_FILE.

ELSE.

• message i000 with 'Unable to download PDF file'.

ENDIF.

ENDIF.

Hope this may help you.

Please reward for all useful answers.
