Hi ,

Yes it is possible.Follow the steps,

I) Get the data from nast table by passing objky or other parameters.

II) CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'

       EXPORTING

         formname = 'Your Smartform'

       IMPORTING

         fm_name  = lv_fm_name.

III) Immediately call passing nast table , control parameters and the data

          for your smartform.

    ls_ctrl_par-no_dialog = abap_true.

    ls_ctrl_par-preview   = abap_false.

    ls_ctrl_par-getotf = abap_true.

PERFORM get_pdf_from_output TABLES lt_pdf_mail

                                 USING lv_fm_name

                                       ls_ctrl_par

                                       ls_bil_invoice

  CALL FUNCTION iv_fm_name

    EXPORTING

      control_parameters = is_ctrl_par

      is_bil_invoice     = is_bil_invoice

      is_nast            = is_nast
