Hi Sharma, <li>Check the below SDN contribution in PDF [Combining Multiple Smartform Outputs Into One PDF File|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/62ae7fcd-0b01-0010-3e9d-a54f26944450&overridelayout=true] Thanks Venkat.O

Hi

See this [WIKI|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/jkM ] Its conversion of smartforms into PDF

You can put loop from

.................GET SMARTFORM FUNCTION MODULE NAME.................

till

.........................CONVERT TO OTF TO PDF.......................

so in one internal table it_lines it will contain data for 2 smartforms

then convert it into one PDF file.

so you get 2 smartforms in one PDF.

Thanks

call smartform FM.

get otfdata into one table. =====>(itab1)

call second smartform FM.

get otf data into another internal table ====>itab2

now append lines of itab2 to itab1.

so you have both pdf data in one otf table.

now use convert_otf* FM to get your PDF

just append the OTF of both smartforms into single internal table and convert to PDF.

Hi Raman,

Kindly post your query in respected forum FORM PRINTING.

Here is the Process for converting multiple smartform output to pdf format.

a.	As we know on activation of a Smartform system will generate a function module. And this function module name can be obtained by SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME and the data to be passed to the smart form is sent by calling this function module. 
b.	we have u201Ccontrol parametersu201D as import parameter.                                         When we set control_param-getotf = u2018Xu2019 , We get smartform output in OTF format. Then the application program can use the field JOB_OUTPUT_INFO-OTFDATA (export parameter) to access the OTF table.
c.	OTFDATA which is a table type of ITCOO containing the OTF equivalent of the Smartform output. ITCOO has two fields TDPRINTCOM, which is the command ID and TDPRINTPAR, which is the print parameter. 
d.	For every Smartform output in its OTF equivalent, TDPRINTCOM begins and ends with u2018//u2019. So the final OTF table that should be sent as PDF output should contain only one pair of u2018//u2019 to mark the beginning and end of the table. TDPRINTCOM value for end-of-page will be u2018EPu2019.
e.	So if you want to combine multiple Smartforms into one OTF table, the beginning and end markers (u2018//u2019) for subsequent smartforms should be removed and appended after u2018EPu2019 command in the OTF table. 

f.	Similarly we can combine multiple smart forms by removing u2018//u2019 and append them using u2018EPu2019 and convert   from OTF format to PDF using Convert_OTF and save as PDF file using GUI_DOWNLOAD.

This solves your problem.

Pavan.

Hi, Raman

if Venkat and Iqbal can find the helpful Links than why you can't do it youself?. Please Search Before Posting.

Hi Faisal Altaf,

Raman question is realistic. The links provided by Venkat and Isbal are learners smartforms help. But it seems Raman really had an issue in middle of his core complex development. Please warn him only if you are able to solve otherwise try to help.

thanks,

Anil

Hi anil there is no offence here ... what faisal meant was to just search the forum before posting because this is frequently asked question.

[Former Member]

Right, but they might have already searched and then looked for help. We should provide the useful link and then advice the searching ways.
