How send a Print Form as attachment PDF?

[Former Member]

Hi everybody,

I have created an Interactive Forms where I can input any new data.

When I click on the button for save the new data, I must also convert my Interactive Form in PDF for send it as attachment to email. When I have groped to convert the interactive form in a PDF file, I lost the data that I have inserted.

So I have created a Print Form through transaction SFP.

I recall the print form in background mode and gets the form of Interactive Data and requiring as import table OTF, but the OTF table is returned to me is different from that of a smartform and so I can not use the function module u2018CONVERT_OTFu2019.

Carryover in the code, you know give me directions?

With the code I'm used to create the PDF file and attach it to email, but the files that I receive by email can not I open it, probably because of an error in formatting during its creation.

I look forward to your advice,

Davide.

I recall when the interactive form to obtain FPFORMOUTPUT-PDF, the function reports an error to me with sy-subrc = 1

Hi David,

I have a similar requirement.I have to send an Adobe Form as an attachment to the external email id.I am successful in sending the form as an attachment to SAP USER ID.....Please let me know what exactly needs to be done in case I want to send the same PDF file to external email address istead of SAP USER ID.

Thanks in Advance,

Sarang

Hi,

as you are calling the Print form in background, the function module which you use will return a importing parameter FORMOUTPUT in which you have a PDF element which holds your adobe form in xstring format.

so you can read FORMOUTPUT-PDF into one variable and convert to binary then send as email.

Thanks,

Madhu.
