Hi

check the below code may be it will help you

CREATE OBJECT G_HTML_CONTAINER

EXPORTING

CONTAINER_NAME = 'PDF'.

CREATE OBJECT G_HTML_CONTROL

EXPORTING

PARENT = G_HTML_CONTAINER.

  • Convert xstring to binary table to pass to the LOAD_DATA method

CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'

EXPORTING

BUFFER = LV_CONTENT

TABLES

BINARY_TAB = LT_DATA.

  • Load the HTML

CALL METHOD G_HTML_CONTROL->LOAD_DATA(

EXPORTING

TYPE = 'application'

SUBTYPE = 'pdf'

IMPORTING

ASSIGNED_URL = LV_URL

CHANGING

DATA_TABLE = LT_DATA

EXCEPTIONS

DP_INVALID_PARAMETER = 1

DP_ERROR_GENERAL = 2

CNTL_ERROR = 3

OTHERS = 4 ).

  • Show it

CALL METHOD G_HTML_CONTROL->SHOW_URL( URL = LV_URL

IN_PLACE = 'X' ).

Hi there,

Here's the solution to my problem.

If you are sending the doc to email via FM SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1,

you need to first convert the the document format to PDF using the 'CONVERT_OTF' FM then pack the PDF lines into the attachment lines, see below:

 *Convert the OTF output to PDF format* 

    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'     

EXPORTING

format = 'PDF'

IMPORTING

bin_filesize = lf_pdfsize

TABLES

otf = hotfdata

lines = lt_pdf

EXCEPTIONS

err_max_linewidth = 1

err_format = 2

err_conv_not_possible = 3

err_bad_otf = 4

OTHERS = 5.

CLEAR t_attachment.

REFRESH t_attachment.

  • Pack the PDF lines into the attachment lines.*

lf_pdfooff = 0.

lf_pdfolen = 255.

LOOP AT lt_pdf INTO ls_pdf.

  • Convert the pdf line into binary*

ASSIGN ls_pdf-tdformat TO <pdf_line> CASTING.

lf_pdfline(2) = <pdf_line>.

ASSIGN ls_pdf-tdline TO <pdf_line> CASTING.

lf_pdfline+2 = <pdf_line>.

lf_pdfioff = 0.

lf_pdfilen = 134.

  • if the pdf line can fit into the attachment line then move the pdf*

  • into the available space in the attachment line

IF lf_pdfilen <= lf_pdfolen.

t_attachment-line+lf_pdfooff = lf_pdfline.

  • Calculate offset in attachment line and the new available space

lf_pdfooff = lf_pdfooff + lf_pdfilen.

lf_pdfolen = lf_pdfolen - lf_pdfilen.

  • If line is totally filled then append line

IF lf_pdfolen = 0.

APPEND t_attachment.

lf_pdfooff = 0.

lf_pdfolen = 255.

ENDIF.

  • otherwise move the portion of the pdf line into the attachment line

  • that are available. Appends the attachment line and move the rest

  • of the pdf line into a new attachment line

ELSE.

t_attachment-line+lf_pdfooff = lf_pdfline.

APPEND t_attachment.

  • Calculate the offset of the pdf line and remaining amount

  • of bytes left in the pdf line

lf_pdfioff = lf_pdfolen.

lf_pdfilen = 134 - lf_pdfolen.

lf_pdfooff = 0.

lf_pdfolen = 255.

t_attachment-linelf_pdfooff = lf_pdflinelf_pdfioff.

  • Calculate offset in attachment line and the new available space

lf_pdfooff = lf_pdfooff + lf_pdfilen.

lf_pdfolen = lf_pdfolen - lf_pdfilen.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

  • Appends last attachment line

IF lf_pdfooff > 0.

APPEND t_attachment.

ENDIF.

ENDIF.

IF it_vend-r_fax = 'X'.

LOOP AT hotfdata.

t_attachment-line(2) = hotfdata-tdprintcom.

t_attachment-line+2 = hotfdata-tdprintpar.

APPEND t_attachment.

ENDLOOP.

ENDIF.

then you can call your SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 FM to send your document.

'hope this helps.

sorry, can't get the formatting of this thing right, so excuse the mess.
