The method suggested by archana works but with a prerequisite that adobe reader needs to b installed on the system.

Kartik,

In case of Frondend services we need to have the local system installed/compatible with Adobe Acrobat reader.

Since we are not using SAP's compatbility.

Thanks,

Hi,

PDF printing is possible. But, for that when you convert your report output to PDF, you will have to download that PDF file to local system.

After downloading this file. You can use below FM to print that file, passing file path and file type as 'BIN'.

CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>EXECUTE
EXPORTING 
  DOCUMENT   =  FILEPATH
  OPERATION  =  'PRINT'.

It worked in my case. It should work for you as well.

Thanks,

Hello,

SAP supports PDF conversion in 2 way's:

1. Convert using program RSTXPDFT4 , RSTXPDFT2 , RSTXPDF

2. Convert using printer device type ZPDF<x>

See SAP note 317851 - Creating PDF format using the SAP spooler
