Hi,

You need to use the Function Module CONVERT_OTF.

Please check the below code

W_bin_filesize TYPE i, " Binary File Size

w_FILE_NAME type string,

w_File_path type string,

w_FULL_PATH type string.

• Internal tables declaration

• Internal table to hold the OTF data

DATA:

t_otf TYPE itcoo OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,

• Internal table to hold OTF data recd from the SMARTFORM

t_otf_from_fm TYPE ssfcrescl,

• Internal table to hold the data from the FM CONVERT_OTF

T_pdf_tab LIKE tline OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

it is always suggested to start from scratch and develop the Adobeform, isntead of migrating from smartform to Adobeform.

Just check these for basics of Adobeforms.
