Transfer pdf file to application server

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am converting smartforms into pdf and try to send to application server but file is corrupted and cannot open.

The code is as follows

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'

EXPORTING

FORMAT = 'PDF'

MAX_LINEWIDTH = 132

• ARCHIVE_INDEX = ' '
• COPYNUMBER = 0
• ASCII_BIDI_VIS2LOG = ' '
• PDF_DELETE_OTFTAB = ' '

IMPORTING

BIN_FILESIZE = W_bin_filesize

BIN_FILE =  l_pdf_xstring

TABLES

otf = T_OTF

lines = T_pdf_tab

EXCEPTIONS

ERR_MAX_LINEWIDTH = 1

ERR_FORMAT = 2

ERR_CONV_NOT_POSSIBLE = 3

ERR_BAD_OTF = 4

OTHERS = 5

IF W_bin_filesize > 0.

     OPEN DATASET p_filein FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.

        transfer l_pdf_xstring to p_filein.

close dataset p_fielin.

endif.

Please advise how to get the correct file.

Thanks in advance.

Warm regards

hi Chandra

You should use the internal table T_PDF_TAB not I_PDF_XSTRING.

loop at T_PDF_TAB.

transfer T_PDF_TAB-field to p_filein.

endloop.

Try this function SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF, and you will get the PDF data in Binary Content in Changing parameter Content_bin.

BTW, you can sure T_OTF have data, right?

Hello

You need to call Fucntion module convert_otf.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
        EXPORTING
          format                = 'PDF'
          MAX_LINEWIDTH         = 132
        IMPORTING
          bin_filesize          = lv_bin_filesize
          bin_file              = lv_pdf

        TABLES
          otf                   = ls_otfdata-otfdata[]
          lines                 = lv_bin_tline
        EXCEPTIONS
          err_max_linewidth     = 1
          err_format            = 2
          err_conv_not_possible = 3
          err_bad_otf           = 4
          OTHERS                = 5.

After calling this FM call FM 'SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF' which will convert into pdf file.

CALL FUNCTION 'SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF'

  EXPORTING

    format_src            = 'OTF'

    format_dst            = 'PDF'

   DEVTYPE               = 'PRINTER'

  CHANGING

    transfer_bin          = t_transfer

    content_txt           = it_otf_data

    content_bin           = it_objhx

    objhead               = it_objhead

    len               = psize

EXCEPTIONS

   ERR_CONV_FAILED       = 1

    OTHERS                = 2 .

Please try with this.

Hi Neha,

Thanks for your response. Now getting  the contents in  binary format. The it_objhx which is of type solix_tab  needs to be transferred to server. But this must be  converted into internal table  and loop through to transfer to server.

Could you please advise how this it_objhx contents can be put into internal table.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Chandra

You need to call fucntion module 'SO_SOLIXTAB_TO_SOLITAB' to convert the contents.

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_SOLIXTAB_TO_SOLITAB'

  EXPORTING

    ip_solixtab       = it_objhx

IMPORTING

   EP_SOLITAB        = lt_objcont .

Send lt_objcont to the swerver.

This will work for you.

Best Regards,

Neha
