Formating Issue in Smartform as PDF

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am processing PO to be sent as attachment in e mail.I could achieve this through passing parameters to smartform. But when pdf is opened in e-mail, all characters are in same font. Font is bit larger than what I see it in spool.This leads to truncation of characters at the end and complete information can't be seen. When I convert the spool to pdf and save on my desktop using program RSTXPDFT4 it looks nice.

I would appreciate any pointer in this direction.

Thanks

'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF' converts abap spool output to PDF.

Anuranjan,

Are you using SAPCONNECT to send e-mails.

If so, run Transaction SCOT.

1. In SCOT double click on the node under INT (usually INTMAL). This will open up a dialog window (SAPconnect: general node data).

2. Click on the "Set" button next to the Internet Checkbox. This will open up another dialog window (SAPconnect: address type for node).

3. At the bottom you will see "Dev. type" change the device type to "HPLJ4" (or other such PCL device type) and save by hitting the green check. (you probably have ASCIIPRI)

4. Hit the green check for the previous screen as well.

This will take care of the problem.
