Is it possible to preview a smartform and simultaneously download the pdf?

[Former Member]

Hello friends,

Is it possible to view the smartform (as in print/preview) and simultaneously download the pdf also?

I'm able to do only one of them.

if comment this statement, i'm able to view the SF directly but not able to download pdf.

LS_CONTROL_PARAMETERS-GETOTF = 'X'.

Anyone have a solution for this?

Hi,

fisrt we just look the preview and then convert PDF format.

by using the standard program RSTXPDFT4.

it will convert the smartform inot pdf.

if it is helpful. please reward points,

Hi Arun,

One Good Idea is call ur smartform 2 times. First One u call without setting LS_CONTROL_PARAMETERS-GETOTF. then u can preview ur smartform.

Now in event for back button u can call ur smartform for the second time with LS_CONTROL_PARAMETERS-GETOTF = 'X'. and other options like no_dialog or no_preview set.

Hope this solves ur problem.

for downloading smartform in to PDF use function module

'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'

Hi,

if we call the function module twice then u can c the PDF output and as well as send it to email as attachment.

Try it.

If u satisfy reward points.

Thank you,
