Go to V/34 transaction select your output types then click on processing routines now system will take you to the processing routines overview screen here you can find Transm. Medium and Processing routines(Output program and Form routine)based on these routines and program you can check the functionality of that with the help of ABAPer.

Hi

You can do this in various ways.

The concept is as follows.

When smartform or sapscript is updated with the values, the layout is available in OTF format. We can convert this format to various formats by making use of Function Modules available for this purpose. To make this to PDF, there is CONVERTOTFPDF function module. You can find this in SE37 if you just copy this and paste it in SAP. By using this FM, the output can be automatically converted to PDF and if needed, can be send as an email also to the customer.

There is also another way of sending it to spool and then convert the spool output into PDF file. There is also an FM for this SPOOLPDF*

Hope this helps you to achieve your purpose

Dear Prashant,

Just Check with:

T. Code: NACE

Select Application: V1 - Sales; and click Tab: Output Types

On to next screen, Select your Output Type (you may have your Z-Output) for Quotation/ Sales Order; and click Processing Routines (from Left-Hand Dialog Structure).

On to next screen, maintain entry as:

Hi Prasant,

This can be acheived through the standard program provided by sap ie RSTXPDFT4. The drawback with this program is that for each spool request one pdf will be generated.

So you can ask Abaper to change the code in this program so that we can take the multiple spool requests in the same pdf.

I am sending you the code also..ask the Abaper to copy this code

Hi Prashant,

Ask your Abaper to use this program RSTXPDFT4 to convert the ABAP list spool job in to PDF file here you can specify the file name and also the path and the folder where you want the system to store the pdf file. From here you can send this pdf file as a mail to customers manually.
