Print Preview and save to PDF

[Former Member]

Hi All---

I have this.

data:

lv_control type ssfctrlop,

lv_options type ssfcompop.

lv_control-device = lc_output. <-- PRINTER

lv_control-no_dialog = lc_x. <-- 'X'

lv_control-getotf = lc_x.

lv_options-tddest = lc_device. <-- 'LOCL'

lv_options-tdnewid = lc_x.

Now i have already implemented to output smartforms into PDF.

FM (smartforms) -> 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF' -> 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

The problem now is I want to first go to its print preview before it convert to pdf. I noticed that I can't print preview when i have lv_control-getotf = lc_x. which I cant convert to pdf if I dont have it. So is there a way to go to it's print preview first before continuing with the code (which is saving into pdf).

Hi,

The only option you have is to call the smartform twice.

Once to display the SF and once to get the OTF.

Hi,

Check lv_control-no_dialog = lc_x. <-- 'X' "This is the area whether Popup should display or Not

 
 data: 
      lv_control type ssfctrlop,
      lv_options type ssfcompop.
 
 
 lv_control-device     = lc_output. <-- PRINTER
 lv_control-no_dialog  = lc_x. <-- 'X'                          "This is the area whether Popup should display or Not
 lv_control-getotf     = lc_x.
 
 lv_options-tddest     = lc_device. <-- 'LOCL'
 lv_options-tdnewid    = lc_x.
