xfp output of Adobe form to be converted pdf

[GKhadeerBasha]

Hi Experts,

I have spool generated for ADOBE form but in binary format. I am using the FM, 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB2_PDF' to convert it to PDF. But getting the error that spool job type is 'BINARY', so getting the error that, 'no abap spool job is ready' , though I have the spool request. Pl provide the solution.

If you are using an Adobe form, then you do not need to convert it.

You don't need to convert it. What are you trying to do?

Sandra, yes, as you said, pdf spool will generate by the Adobe form thru output type. But I want to display the Adobe form on the SAP Screen, for which, I am triggering the stand-alone program, without going for output type, in which, I have called Adobe form and the function modules, FP_JOB_OPEN, Adobe form Function Module and FP_JOB_CLOSE. 

         I am getting the output in XFP format, which I want to display as PDF, for which I am using the 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF. But this FM is giving the error that, job type is not ADS one, when I checked the spool request job type, its coming as 'BINARY'.

        spool request data is coming as,

       Instead of the above one, I want to display as layout with data.

The PDF displays correctly via SP01, right? ABAP can run SP01 too (via CALL TRANSACTION).

If your question is how to display PDF right after generating it, you have all the parameters you need in FP_JOB_OPEN (PREVIEW, GETPDF, etc.)
