how call FM otf to pdf in a report

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am working on a code of a sapscript and i am facing the problem when i execute it does not shows the line in it and i want to use the FM converting OTF TO PDF. i know there is a system program RSTXPDFT4 which performs the same functionality but i have to assign a seperate tcode for it and tell the user how to generate the spool request for it and then download it. Thats why i want to use the FM for it so that the user can able to have the proper print out of it.

plzz provide me guidelines for solving this problem.

You need to submit your print program in background to generate a Spool No using SUBMIT statement.

Then select the respective spool no. from table TSP01. Now using this spool no. submit the program RSTXPDFT4. I hope Now you know how to write the code.

FORMAT = "PDF"

IMPORTING

BIN_FILESIZE = FILE_LEN

TABLES

OTF = OTFDATA

LINES = PDFDATA

Check this code

u can use 'SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF' this FM also
