Auto Download of ADOBE form to client

[Former Member]

Hello,

i need to create a function module for the following scenario:

If one of our sales managers leaves the office to visit a customer he wants to have all the customer information as a PDF on his laptop.

I have created such a pdf form with all the desired information.

And i already created the function module which gives me the filled form for the CRM businesspartner from type:

fpformoutput.

Now in my function module i need to create the PDF from this and download it to C:\temp on the client.

How can this be acchieved? Especially the creation of the PDF - is there a standard FM?

Thank you

Best regards

Manfred

Hello Chintan,

that´s exactly what i already have.

And from the function module for my ADOBE form i´m getting back:

IMPORTING

/1BCDWB/FORMOUTPUT --> This is from type fpformoutput

But what i need now is the next steps:

- Creating a real PDF out of this fpformoutput

- Downloading this PDF to the client on C:/temp

Thank you

Best regards

Manfred

Hello,

use param GETPDF = 'X', so you´ll get the PDF filled with the binary data of the generated form what you can easily save using something like GUI_DOWNLOAD. But this will open the dialog. I don´t know how to do the silent save.
