Hi,
We have a TIFF file on a Documentum Server. We are getting the XString format of this TIFF image through a web service. This XString o/p needs to be passed to Portal. But Portal - WebDynpro JAVA for Mobile devices is not able to display TIFF images as of now. However it is able to display PDF images.
Our requirement is to convert the XString format of the TIFF image to an XString format of a PDF. How can this be achieved? What FMs have to be used?
Any pointers are highly appreciated.
regards
Deepthi

None of the image formats(jpeg, tiff, bmp, gif etc.) are opening using WD Java for Mobile devices. Only PDFs are opening .

Are you sending it as an attachment in the Blackberry? Then may be it's not possible to view it directly and another jpeg viewer software is required to be installed on Blackberry.
But, I think it should work if the image is embedded in a webpage and the url is accessed through the Blackberry. Could you tell me about the documentum server where the TIFF files are stored? Is it BDS or GOS?

Nope, it is not sent as an attachment. The requirement is to view the image on the click of a button in a custom application on the Blackberry. Image viewer softwares are already available on the Blackberry.
The TIFF files are stored in the Documentum server and accessed in SAP through Archive Link - RFC archive. The images do not have any HTTP address configured.

Another possible way can be....
1. Load the tiff file to a standard text through RSTXLDMC
2. Convert it to OTF using FM PRINT_TEXT
3. Convert the OTF to PDF using CONVERT_OTF
Your TIFF XSTRING needs to be converted to binary initially using FM SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY to upload and the final PDF content can be used in webdynpro.

I was trying this method......
1. Created a standard text in SO10 with the following parameters
YSM_TIF
ST
EN
2. Goto program RSTXLDMC and upload the TIFF file to this text.Enter the type as BCOL and entering standard text name as YSM_TIF.
3. Now, run this code.
DATA: int_lines TYPE TABLE OF tline,
int_otf TYPE TABLE OF itcoo,
int_pdf TYPE TABLE OF tline,
wa_thead TYPE thead,
wa_options TYPE itcpo.
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
EXPORTING
id = 'ST'
language = 'E'
name = 'YSM_TIF'
object = 'TEXT'
IMPORTING
header = wa_thead
TABLES
lines = int_lines.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
wa_options-tdgetotf = 'X'.
CALL FUNCTION 'PRINT_TEXT'
EXPORTING
dialog = ' '
header = wa_thead
OPTIONS = wa_options
TABLES
lines = int_lines
otfdata = int_otf.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
EXPORTING
format = 'PDF'
TABLES
otf = int_otf
lines = int_pdf.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
filename = 'C:\Documents and Settings\satyajit.mohapatra\Desktop\tiff.pdf'
filetype = 'BIN'
TABLES
data_tab = int_pdf.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
In your scenario, may be you need to create a custom program copying of RSTXLDMC, so that the Tiff content can be directly uploaded from program without the filepath. This custom program can be used with SUBMIT PROGRAM statement and rest of the logic will remain same.

In the URL given, a BMP image is considered for upload. But I have a TIFF image to be used. So the code suggested is not working.

I tried uploading the TIFF file using RSTXLDMC, but I get the error: TIFF format error: No baseline TIFF 6.0 file

1. The link given is for BMP, but the same approach is being followed. The only difference is we need to upload the TIFF file through RSTXLDMC, whereas the BMP file can be directly uploaded to SE78. Have you tried the code given in my earlier post after uploading the Tiff file through RSTXLDMC?

It's a problem with Tiff file format. Check this link for details....
If the file format can't be fixed try to convert it to BMP and you can follow the same process in the link as given in my earlier post for BMP..

As mentioned before, I would not have direct access to the TIFF files. I can get only the XString or Binary format of these images to be used for conversion to PDF.
So I cannot modify the TIFF format to BMP.

Hi Deepthi,
no complete solution including source code, but a way that you may go:
Having the graphics stored in BDS business document services, it should be possible to integrate into a (dummy) smartform. Smartforms are integrated much better with PDF. If you do not get the smartforms output as PDF directly, you can create OTF printer output and convert it to PDF (I.e. CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'..EXPORTING FORMAT = 'PDF').
This way you can download a graphic as pdf.

I was looking into it and got some solutions. No need to convert the TIFF to BMP. Check this code it will upload the TIFF file directly to SE78 and from SE78 we can create the PDF.
DATA: wf_res TYPE stxbitmaps-resolution,
int_command TYPE TABLE OF tline,
wa_command TYPE tline,
wa_thead TYPE thead,
wa_options TYPE itcpo,
int_otf TYPE TABLE OF itcoo,
int_pdf TYPE TABLE OF tline.
* Upload TIFF file to SE78
perform graphic_import_bds
IN PROGRAM saplstxbitmaps
using 'C:\Documents and Settings\satyajit.mohapatra\Desktop\sample.TIF'
'YSM_TEST'
'GRAPHICS'
'BMAP'
'BCOL'
'TEST'
space
'X'
space
changing wf_res.
* Get OTF
CALL FUNCTION 'SAPSCRIPT_GENERATE_BMP_COMMAND'
EXPORTING
bm_name = 'YSM_TEST'
bm_object = 'GRAPHICS'
bm_id = 'BMAP'
bm_type = 'BCOL'
IMPORTING
bm_command = wa_command.
APPEND wa_command TO int_command.
wa_options-tdgetotf = 'X'.
CALL FUNCTION 'PRINT_TEXT'
EXPORTING
dialog = ' '
header = wa_thead
OPTIONS = wa_options
TABLES
lines = int_command
otfdata = int_otf.
* Get PDF
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
EXPORTING
format = 'PDF'
TABLES
otf = int_otf
lines = int_pdf.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
filename = 'C:\Documents and Settings\satyajit.mohapatra\Desktop\New Folder\photo.pdf'
filetype = 'BIN'
TABLES
data_tab = int_pdf.
CALL FUNCTION 'SAPSCRIPT_DELETE_GRAPHIC_BDS'
EXPORTING
i_name = 'YSM_TEST'
i_id = 'BMAP'
i_btype = 'BCOL'
dialog = ' '.

Now, there are two issues.......
1. You have the TIFF content in binary and no specific filepath is available in presentation server.....
Goto subroutine 'graphic_import_bds' in program 'saplstxbitmaps'->goto subroutine 'import_bitmap_bds' in line 169->On line 387 in subroutine 'import_bitmap_bds', you will find call to FM GUI_UPLOAD to upload the content in binary format. You have to create a custom subroutine replacing the FM GUI_UPLOAD with rest of the logic intact and using the binary data table directly.
2. TIFF file format problem.......
The TIFF file format should be TIFF 6.0. Need to see how to handle older verions.
Please give it a try and let me know in case of any issues....

Till now, I know how to convert tiff to pdf. but how the reverse is possible, i mean convert pdf to tiff?
Is there any way to get the size of Pdf for conversion? any sample code?
please help?

Hi,
How did you achieve this? I have similar requirement. Converting Multi page tiff image to PDF format.
