ADOBE SPOOL DOWNLOAD

[Former Member]

Hi dears,

I've an issue with adobe form.

I create a spool from my adobe pdf (not interactive):

1 I use FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME to get the generated FM of adobe form.

2 I call FP_JOB_OPEN FM with some param (no dialog box, setting of pdf printer)

3 I call the generated FM and pass value to the form (context...)

4 I call FP_JOB_CLOSE and I get the spool no

At this step, the spool is well created, I can see it in sp02 and visualize the layout.

But now I want to download this spool in a back end server folder (for example /tmp/file.pdf)

The file created during this step always have the same size (1.298 bytes), and is not readeable with a pdf viewer, pdf viewer says that there are no page(s) in my pdf.

I've exatly the same problem and same result (file not readeable and alays a size of 1298 bytes) if I try to convert the spool into a pdf and download it in my local laptop with RSTXPDFT4.

In sp02 I see the pdf icon so I assume that maybe it's already a pdf in the spool.

Can someone help me to get that spool in pdf format? Maybe spools are located in the application server but where?

thanks in advance

Aidan,

your link seems dead or wrong at least.

I think I'm on the good way:

/usr/sap/RD0/SYS/global/ is the path where you can sse all spool created, and in that folder I've a spool with a pdf extention.

Thx

Vincent

Vincent, I think the question is: how do you retrieve the spool? (note: an Adobe PDF spool is made of several files, one is the raw PDF as you saw, plus one file containing XML data used to build the form (+ link to cached version of the Adobe form), plus one file in the format of the output device (PCL, or PS, or etc.))
