Convert OTF to PDF and attach to email

Former Member

Hello everyone,

I'm having some troubles converting a spool order i have to pdf and then sending as an attachment via email.

The problem is with bitmap images that are included in the sapscript of the form used in the spool order.

When i receive the email and open the pdf, Adobe Reader warns me that the pdf is not correct, and shows me the form without images.

This is my code. Am i doing anything wrong ?

Problem solved. Instead of converting lines to 255 like i was doing, i used FM QCF1_CONVERT.
