I am puting here some coding also .

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

  EXPORTING

    BIN_FILESIZE                    = numbytes

     FILENAME                        = 'tmp/CHEQUE.pdf'

    FILETYPE                        = 'BIN'

TABLES

    DATA_TAB                        =  pdf

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute

EXPORTING

application            = 'acroread.exe'

parameter              = file

minimized              = 'X'

synchronous            = ' '

operation              = 'PRINT'

when I am giving print then error occurs that pdf is not opened , I am opening pdf in background and print automatically

I tried to slove the error but then I am not getting print exactly , That is printing some garbage value.

'acroread.exe'

My Dear linux doesn't has .exe files( unless and and untill wine  or other windows immulators are installed). Check if acrobot reader is intalled in the frontend and get the commnad which is used to launch it( Normally in /usr/bin but may vary with different destros ) . call that command in the method

Try this in your program

cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute accordingly.
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute
EXPORTING
application            = 'acroread'
parameter              = file
minimized              = 'X'
synchronous            = ' '
operation              = 'PRINT'

This is man page for acroread

Note : Arey u sure you want your code dependent on frontends OS?

IF not the use the method GET_PLATFORM of the same class do determine which platform the user is running.

Hi,

    Try giving only usr/bin/acroread tmp/CHEQUE.pdf for execution.

DATA : v_string TYPE string.

v_string = 'usr/bin/acroread tmp/CHEQUE.pdf'.

    CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute
    EXPORTING
      document               = v_string
*     APPLICATION            =
*     PARAMETER              =
*     DEFAULT_DIRECTORY      =
*     MAXIMIZED              =
*     MINIMIZED              =
*     SYNCHRONOUS            =
       operation              = 'PRINT'
    EXCEPTIONS
      cntl_error             = 1
      error_no_gui           = 2
      bad_parameter          = 3
      file_not_found         = 4
      path_not_found         = 5
      file_extension_unknown = 6
      error_execute_failed   = 7
      synchronous_failed     = 8
      not_supported_by_gui   = 9
      OTHERS                 = 10.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*            WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
  ENDIF.

*DATA: file   TYPE string .

*file = 'usr/bin/acroread tmp/CHEQUE.pdf'.

*

*OPEN DATASET file FOR OUTPUT IN  BINARY MODE.

*IF sy-subrc <> 0.

*  WRITE:  'Error opening :', file.

*  ENDIF.

*TRANSFER `1234567890` TO file.

*CLOSE DATASET file.

*

*

*CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute

*  EXPORTING

*    DOCUMENT              = file

*    application            = 'acroread'

*    parameter              = file

*    minimized              = 'X'

*    synchronous            = ' '

Hi,

    The file will be case sensitive, instead of Print option first try to open the file from SAP.

Try this code

DATA : v_document  TYPE string,

            v_application TYPE string.

v_document = '/tmp/CHEQUE.pdf'.  " give the file name correctly.

v_application = '/usr/bin/acroread'.   " just check in Linux where the acroread application is installed

    CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute
    EXPORTING
      document               = v_document

     application              = v_application
*     PARAMETER              =
*     DEFAULT_DIRECTORY      =
*     MAXIMIZED              =
*     MINIMIZED              =
*     SYNCHRONOUS            =
      operation              = 'OPEN'
    EXCEPTIONS
      cntl_error             = 1
      error_no_gui           = 2
      bad_parameter          = 3
      file_not_found         = 4
      path_not_found         = 5
      file_extension_unknown = 6
      error_execute_failed   = 7
      synchronous_failed     = 8
      not_supported_by_gui   = 9
      OTHERS                 = 10.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*            WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
  ENDIF.

Hi,

    Try giving 'PRINTF' instead of 'PRINT' in operation.

Googling I found this . If it works, then below should work too. Please check.

l_v_command = '-toPostScript'
concatinate L_v_command v_file into L_v_command separated by space.
cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute accordingly.
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute
EXPORTING
application            = 'acroread'
parameter              = l_v_command
minimized              = 'X'
synchronous            = ' '
operation              = 'OPEN'

Hmnn, then you need to check with anyone who uses linux, about the command to print in linux. search in linux forum or Adobe forum for linux forums. Search with 'Command line Printing of PDF in linux'.
