Script out put in PDF format to the printer ?

[Former Member]

Hi All ,

I have a peculiar problem in printing the script output . User don't want to down load the Script output into PDF document and then print , instead he wants the output in PDF format should go directly to the printer when he process the print .

In Other words .. If the program generates the Spool , in SP01 , the type should be PDF . Currently it is OTF .

How can the program sends the script output to the printer in PDF format ?

Thanks ,

Can you try these below function module. It might help you

• Open Form

CALL FUNCTION 'H99B_OPEN_LFORM_JOB'

• Print Form

CALL FUNCTION 'H99B_OUTPUT_LFORM'

• Close Form

CALL FUNCTION 'H99B_CLOSE_LFORM_JOB'

Refer standard program RPCEOYG0 and get inside the include RPCEOYGC and search for 'PDF' and you will see four perform for diffrent UK forms . Get inside any perfrom and see the code where they used the above function module to get the PDF output and you can print also. But when you run this standard program you don't see PDF output as it is disabled by SAP due to some problem.

But still you can try with the logic.

Hi,

refer to the following code:

TABLES:likp,itcpo.

• Internal table and variable Declaration

Data: gi_otf TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF itcoo,

gi_line TYPE TABLE OF tline,

bin_file TYPE i.

itcpo-tdgetotf = 'X'.

CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'

EXPORTING

device = 'PRINTER'

dialog = 'X'

form = 'YSCRIPT'

language = sy-langu

OPTIONS = itcpo

EXCEPTIONS

canceled = 1

device = 2

form = 3

OPTIONS = 4

unclosed = 5

mail_options = 6

archive_error = 7

invalid_fax_number = 8

more_params_needed_in_batch = 9

spool_error = 10

codepage = 11

OTHERS = 12.

IF sy-subrc 0.

MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno

WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

ENDIF.

Then use start form,write form and end form.

CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'

TABLES

otfdata = gi_otf

EXCEPTIONS

unopened = 1

bad_pageformat_for_print = 2

send_error = 3

IF sy-subrc 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

• Convert data to PDF format

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'

EXPORTING

format = 'PDF'

IMPORTING

bin_filesize = bin_file

used in GUI_DOWNLOAD

otf = gi_otf

lines = gi_line

EXCEPTIONS

err_max_linewidth = 1

Hi,

To convert SAP Script or Smartforms output to PDF file use standard program

RSTXPDFT4.

Just run your form , create the spool request for your form than use this spool request in above program you will get your output in PDF format.

Hope this will solve your problem.
