[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am new to SMART FORMS,I don't have a clue about how to convert the layout from OTF format into PDF format and how to store it in Presentation server.

Please send me a Model program or step by step approach of the same.

Useful inputs will be rewarded higher points.

Thanks in Advance,

Hi,

1.To convert spool to OTF

<b>CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF</b> - Converts spool to PDF

<b>CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF</b> - Converts forms to PDF

2. To save file in Presentation server.

You can use Function Module <b>Download</b>. Go thru' the function module. This function module is obselte. You can use the class. <b>CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES</b>.

3. <b>SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1</b> you can try this function module for sending the attachment.

Feel free to revert back.

hi,

All you have to do is call your Smart Form to get OTF and then concert it to PDF. Works like charm:

sample code.

DATA: p_output_options TYPE ssfcompop,

p_control_parameters TYPE ssfctrlop.

p_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.

p_control_parameters-getotf = 'X'.

CALL FUNCTION v_func_name "call your smartform

EXPORTING

output_options = p_output_options

control_parameters = p_control_parameters

IMPORTING

job_output_info = s_job_output_info.

call function 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'

tables

otf = s_job_output_info-otfdata

lines = t_pdf

FM is CONVERT_OTF.

CALL FUNCTION "CONVERT_OTF"
EXPORTING FORMAT = "PDF"
IMPORTING BIN_FILESIZE = FILE_LEN
TABLES OTF = OTFDATA
LINES = PDFDATA
EXCEPTIONS ERR_MAX_LINEWIDTH = 1 
ERR_FORMAT = 2
ERR_CONV_NOT_POSSIBLE = 3
OTHERS = 4.
