PDF File corrupt when shows in portal but not in SE80

[Former Member]

Hii SAP expert, I need help regarding downloading PDF file that convert from smartforms.

Here are the case:

When I run my program through SE80, all works well and I manage to get my smartfrom in PDF, which I am able to save and print.

But when deploy in the development portal server, I did the testing and what I got is something like "Adobe Reader could not open smartform.pdf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damage (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."

I had been searching around google and there is a lead that there is plugin in ZCL, even I did run through SAP note 999998 but still no idea what are the item missing. Anyone experience this before and manage to solve it? my SAP version is ECC 6 EP 4, with Basis package 701.

I manage to solve this problem...

Solutions:

Go to SU01, Go Default->Spool control. Then select output device and put any printer preference. If this spool request is empty, the pdf will show it corrupt.
