FAX Smartforms out of SAP

[Former Member]

Hi,

I've converted my smartform to PDF document using CONVERT_OTF function module. I want to send this pdf file to a fax machine. I presume I'll have to use SO_OBJECT_SEND function module to do it. Does anybody have code to do so?

Regards,

Vijay

Hi all,

All these are just sending plain texts as faxes. I was looking at sending smartforms (specifically their PDFs) as Faxes to fax numbers. I saw this FM CONVERT_OTF_AND_FAX has anybody tried out this FM, does this work for all scenarios?

Regards,

Vijay
