Print Preview in smartforms

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a requirement to preview the smartform converted pdf before downloading it into the specified location.

I have used the FM CONVERT_OTF and GUI_DOWNLOAD to convert the smartform into the PDF and download the same.

Kindly help.

Hi,

Get the spool request and use the program 'RSTXPDFT4' to download the data into PDF format.

Hope this will help you.

Hi,

Get the OTF data from Smartform Function Module & pass it to the below FM...

call function 'SSFCOMP_PDF_PREVIEW'

exporting

i_otf = otf[]

exceptions

convert_otf_to_pdf_error = 1

cntl_error = 2

others = 3.

Hope it helps!!

Hi,

In your requirement you do one condition check like the following. Write the below code in driver program.

If sy-ucomm = 'PROC'.

• PDF Convertion code & saving to the location.

elseif sy-ucomm = 'VIEW'.

• call the smartform function module.

endif.

PROC --> function code of print button in VF31

VIEW --> function code of preview button in VF31

But while you are seeing preview , you have to set the control parameter of smart form function module.

i.e., wa_ctrl-preview = 'X'.

This control parameter you have to pass to smart form function module call.

Thanks and regards,

Hi,

if u want to view the smartform than put a break-point just before the FM CONVERT_OTF and view your smartform.

or use the FM PRS_GET_PRINTPREVIEW

RSRAS_DISPLAY_PREVIEW

let me know the output...

thanks
