smartform to pdf

[Former Member]

hi guys i have generated a pdf from a smartform but when i try ti open the file it gives me an error, i can see that otf is generated correctly and li_lines also.

Here is my code, any idea?

* Primero recuperamos la función asociada a nuestro formulario
  CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
    EXPORTING
      formname = pu_formulario
    IMPORTING
      fm_name  = ld_funcion.
  IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

* obtener parametros impresora
    lt_itcpo-tdcopies   = 1.         " Cantidad de impresiones
    lt_itcpo-tddest     = 'LOCL'.    " Nombre de la impresora
    lt_itcpo-tdimmed    = 'X'.       " Imprime inmediatamente
    lt_itcpo-tdnewid    = 'X'.       " Crear nueva SPOOL
    lt_itcpo-tddelete   = 'X'.       " Borra después de imprimir
    lt_itcpo-tdpageslct = space.     " Todas las páginas
    lt_itcpo-tdpreview  = space.     " Visualización de la impresión
    lt_itcpo-tdcover    = space.     " No portada



    MOVE-CORRESPONDING lt_itcpo TO l_opciones.
    MOVE lt_itcpo-tdpreview TO l_control-preview.

    l_control-getotf = 'X'. "Retorno tab.OTF. Sin imprimir, visualizar
    l_control-preview = ' '.
    l_control-no_dialog = 'X'.
    l_opciones-tdnoprev = 'X'.

  ENDIF.

* Después se ejecuta la función
  CALL FUNCTION ld_funcion
  EXPORTING
    control_parameters         = l_control
    output_options             = l_opciones
    USER_SETTINGS              = ' '
    ekko                       = t_ekko
    lfa1                       = t_lfa1
    d_solicitante              = d_solicitante
    d_firmante                 = p_firma
  IMPORTING
    job_output_info            = l_job_output_info
    job_output_options         = l_output_options

    ekpo                       = i_ekpo
    ekbe                       = i_ekbe
    i_texto_posicion           = li_texto_posicion
  EXCEPTIONS
    formatting_error           = 1
    internal_error             = 2
    send_error                 = 3
    user_canceled              = 4
    OTHERS                     = 5.

  IF pu_modo = c_editar.
    pc_return = sy-subrc.
  ENDIF.



  CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'
    IMPORTING
      bin_filesize           = ld_bin_filesize
    TABLES
      otf                    = l_job_output_info-otfdata
      doctab_archive         = li_docs
      lines                  = li_lines
    EXCEPTIONS
      err_conv_not_possible  = 1
      err_otf_mc_noendmarker = 2
      OTHERS                 = 3.

Hi,

See thread .

there can be problems when you use internal table LINES to return the PDF data in a Unicode system. You should use parameter BIN_FILE when calling CONVERT_OTF so the PDF data is returned as type XSTRING and use the the example BCS_EXAMPLE_8 of SAP note 1324547 to handle the PDF data returned.See also SAP note 1320163.

Hi,

What you have should work. But in my case I'm filling in only the following:

lstr_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.

lstr_control_parameters-getotf = 'X'.

lstr_output_options-tdprinter = lv_e_devtype.

where I get lv_e_devtype from:

CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_GET_DEVICE_TYPE'

EXPORTING

i_language = 'E'

i_application = 'SAPDEFAULT'

IMPORTING

e_devtype = lv_e_devtype

EXCEPTIONS

no_language = 1

language_not_installed = 2

no_devtype_found = 3

system_error = 4

OTHERS = 5.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
