Print in PDF

[Former Member]

Hi friends,

I generated a form and it is working fine. I want to display(not download) the form in PDF format. I searched the forums which are explaining to convert and download but not to print in PDF format. I am passing the following control parameters to FM.

ls_cont_param-no_dialog = 'X'.

ls_cont_param-preview = 'X'.

ls_cont_param-getotf = 'X'.

ls_out_opt-tddest = i_wa_nast-ldest.

CALL FUNCTION w_fm_name

EXPORTING

control_parameters = ls_cont_param

output_options = ls_out_opt

user_settings = 'X'

IMPORTING

job_output_info = i_wa_job_output_info

TABLES

i_hunit = i_hu

EXCEPTIONS

formatting_error = 1

internal_error = 2

send_error = 3

user_canceled = 4

OTHERS = 5.

When I execute with above code, nothing is displaying. I want to just display the form output in PDF format.

Please let me know if I miss anything.

Regards

Wich Version you have ?

If you have an older version you, you simply can't in a standard way. Only List and OTF are supported.

Try this FM right after you call your Smartform:

  CALL FUNCTION 'SSFCOMP_PDF_PREVIEW'
    EXPORTING
      i_otf                    = i_wa_job_output_info-otfdata
    EXCEPTIONS
      acrobat_not_registered   = 1
      convert_otf_to_pdf_error = 2
      download_error           = 3
      acrobat_not_started      = 4
      cntl_error               = 5
      OTHERS                   = 6.
