Form in SAPscript convert to PDF in the backend

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is there a way to convert a form created in SAPscript, directly to PDF in the backend?

I am aware that there is a report RSTXPDFT4 to convert a spool output to PDF. But I do not want to create a spool for the SAPscript. I want the form to be directly downloaded as PDF.

As the program will be generated as a background job, i want it to download to pdf directly to a filepath specified on the selection screen. Also, I can only use SAPscript, not adobe form or smartforms to generate.

Thank you for your help.

you can use function module...

CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF

and then you can send this PDF to mail or other location.

Thank you. Just to confirm, will this work in the background? How can we then download the PDF file generated in the background? 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' cannot work in the background right? Thanks!

Hi Hm He,

Were you able to send the sapscript in pdf to specified path yet? I have the same problem here. I want to be able to send the sapscript in pdf to a unix path to be ftp'd to another server via batch.

Please advise.

Thanks
