Download smartform as PDF, suppress Print/Preview dialog

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Facing some issues in downloading PDF converted from Smartform.

In the program I am trying directly download a smartform converted into PDF format and save it in local system.

When ever I am trying to execute the program it shows up the Print/Preview dialog before showing the Save As dialog.

I have passed control_parameters-getotf = 'X' to the smartform runtime FM, which ideally should have suppressed the Print/Preview dialog and return the otfdata.

Here the entire code is...

The program other wise works absolutly fine .

Please advise.

Thanks

Hi Jaif,

Try this code:-

DATA: T_SSFCTRLOP TYPE SSFCTRLOP.   "FOR SMART FORMS
DATA: FNAME(30).
DATA: T_SSFCRESCL TYPE SSFCRESCL.   "FOR SMART FORMS AFTER PRINTING DATA TO CONVERT IN PDF FORMAT

CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
      EXPORTING
        FORMNAME = 'YFF_INVOICE' 
      IMPORTING
        FM_NAME  = FNAME.

****Pass this three parameters
  T_SSFCTRLOP-NO_DIALOG = 'X'.
  T_SSFCTRLOP-GETOTF = 'X'.
  T_SSFCTRLOP-LANGU = 'E'.

  CALL FUNCTION FNAME
    EXPORTING
      CONTROL_PARAMETERS = T_SSFCTRLOP
    IMPORTING
      JOB_OUTPUT_INFO    = T_SSFCRESCL
    TABLES
      T_FORMDATA         = T_FORMDATA.


  CALL FUNCTION 'HR_EFI_SHOW_PDF_FORM'
    EXPORTING
      TOP_EDGE  = 0
      LEFT_EDGE = 0
    TABLES
      OTF_TABLE = T_SSFCRESCL-OTFDATA.

Hai

To convert Smartforms output To PDF format , we can use the SAP Program "RSTXPDFT4"

I think the problem is the print preview is not supressed. Pass the NO_DIALOG field in CONTROL_PARAMETERS of the FM as 'X'. This will supress the print preview dialog.

Hi JAIF ,

For the below control parameter pass value as X.

CONTROL_PARAMETERS-getotf

CONTROL_PARAMETERS-no_dialog

CONTROL_PARAMETERS-PREVIEW

Helloo Guyz...

I am exactly trying the same, but the Print Dialog is still coming ...

See here is my code ..

cont_param-getotf = 'X'.

cont_param-no_dialog = 'X'.

cont_param-preview = 'X' .

CALL FUNCTION fm_name

EXPORTING

control_parameters = cont_param

IMPORTING

job_output_info = otfdata

TABLES

s_bukrs = s_bukrs[]

s_gjahr = s_gjahr[]

s_rebzg = s_rebzg[]

s_kunnr = s_kunnr[]

EXCEPTIONS

formatting_error = 1

internal_error = 2

send_error = 3

user_canceled = 4

OTHERS = 5.

even after this ..during execution the the Print Dialog is coming..

I have no idea what esle I am missing..

Thanks

set

cont_param-preview = ' ' .

[former_member188827]

set:

cont_param-getotf = 'X'.

cont_param-device = 'PRINTER'.

cont_param-preview = ''.

cont_param-no_dialog = 'X'.

cont_param-tddest = 'LP01'.

Hello Guyz ..

It really didnt work ..after all these parameters..

I tried using same parameters and run the standalone smartform FM,

But its still showing the print dialog

Some thing we all are missing ..

[satyajit_mohapatra]

pass parameter TDNOPREV = 'X' in OUTPUT_OPTIONS PARAMETER and try. It should work now.

[satyajit_mohapatra]

Yes....I missed it in earlier post.....The PREVIEW parameter should be set to blank as well as told by abapuser.
