Hi Murugesh,

Can explain me what I have to put in content_in and in content_out please because I want to convert a smartform to a pdf but I don't know exactly how.

Hello,

If you are creating a form by SAPScript, then

CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'

TABLES

otfdata = te_otf_table

EXCEPTIONS

unopened = 1

bad_pageformat_for_print = 2

OTHERS = 3.

'te_otf_table' will have OTFDATA and you need to pass this to content_in.

else if you are using a Smartform, the FM has a IMport parameter 'job_output_info-otfdata' which will have the OTFData. Now to convert this Form output which is in OTF to PDF we either use 'SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF' or CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF.

sample code for CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF:

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'

EXPORTING

use_otf_mc_cmd = 'X'

IMPORTING

bin_filesize = filesize

TABLES

otf = l_t_job_output-otfdata

doctab_archive = l_t_docs

lines = pdfdata_tab

EXCEPTIONS

err_conv_not_possible = 1

err_otf_mc_noendmarker = 2

OTHERS = 3.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

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

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

ENDIF.

I hope this helps you

Hi Murugesh,

Thanks a lot!!! It's working now 🐵

Another question, how can sent the pdf by email?

🐵

[Former Member]

Hello,

Use FM: SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.

you can send an External mail. This FM has good Documentation also. You can send attachments also with the mail. But External mail (Internet) is to be configured in Tx. SCOT.

check this out:

Hope this helps you.
