Smartform output to PDF.

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a requirement like . I am generating one smart form. I need to convert the smart form output to PDF format.

Here If I give the print out of my smart form it directly goes to the printer as a PDF format and I need print out in PDF print.

I dont want to store anywhere this PDF output. It goes to printer directly and print as PDF.

Thanks and Regards,

Srihari.

hi

try this 2 options

1) Execute the smartform application program with the printer name and

click on print on the pop up for print parameters,a spool no will be generated

goto SP01 to get the spool no, then with the spool no as input execute the

program RSTXPDFT4,it will convert the smartform o/p to PDF and stores

in the location mentioned.

2)Try this

Call function 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'

with the smartform name as input stored in a variable of type TDSFNAME

to determine the Generated Function Module stored in a variable of type

RS38L_FNAM

call the Generated Function Module

call function 'CONVERT_OTF'

exporting

format = 'PDF'

tables

otf = ssfcrescl-otfdata

lines = tline

call function 'SX_TABLE_LINE_WIDTH_CHANGE'

data : it_attach like SOPCKLSTI1 occurs 0 with header line,

it_mess like SOLISTI1 occurs 0 with header line,

it_table like SOLIX occurs 0 with header line,

it_receivers like SOMLRECI1 occurs 0 with header line.

call function 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'

tables

packing_list = it_attach

contents_txt = it_mess

contents_hex = it_table

receivers = it_receivers.

No Kartik,

Actually I am printing the data in the pre-printed stationary. If I convert the output into PDF format manually then alignment is perfect with pre-printed stationary. If I give the print directly with out converting into PDF the alignment is differenent.

That is the reason I posted the above query.

Thanks

Hi,

Once u get the OTF data, just pass it to the below FM..

to get OTF data, u need to pass the variable 'GETOTF' in structure 'SSFCTRLOP' as 'X'.

DATA : otf_data TYPE itcoo OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,

l_t_control LIKE ssfctrlop.

l_t_control-getotf = 'X' ---> pass this to Smartform FM

CALL FUNCTION 'SSFCOMP_PDF_PREVIEW'

EXPORTING

i_otf = otf_data[]

EXCEPTIONS

acrobat_not_registered = 1

convert_otf_to_pdf_error = 2

download_error = 3

acrobat_not_started = 4

cntl_error = 5

OTHERS = 6.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

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

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

ENDIF.

Hope it helps!!
