Hi Saurabh,

Ask your basis people to create one PDF printer(Output device), which automatically coverts any document to PDF.

In Message's mention this Printer. its working for me.

If you do like this there is no need to write any code.

Hi,

One more option also available for us. If u does nt wan to change or create any program means...Just install the cute pdf writer software we can find in net free of cost...Assign this one as default printer and give print it will automatically convert to pdf format...

hi

Check whether u have a CONTENT server which u can check with ur Basis team.

Then u can use FM to convert and download to Desktop, as when ever u run PO it is triggered in backgraound and Downloading the PDF to Desktop using GUI_DOWNLOAD uses a POP-up to mention the location which cannot be handled in background. check with basis team b4 u proceed.

Hi Saurabh,

Please find below some helpful links.

You need not call the FM to send mail.

Hi,

Make a copy of the standard then convert the OTF data into PDF format then download the same to desktop.

You can more info in the SDN. FYI. you can use the below FM to convert

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'

EXPORTING

format = 'PDF'

max_linewidth = 132

TABLES

otf = i_otf

lines = i_tline .

Regards,

Aditya
