How to convert an alv report to PDF format?

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I'm wondering, is it possible to convert an alv report to pdf format without using a spool no?

Thanks for your attention.

I read all documents, but it's not what i need, i don't want to use printing settings.

Actually my idea is to put a new button as 'PDF' . When i push the button, firstly it should ask where will be the file saved and then it will do the action which is converting the pdf from alv.

Hey,

Just create a PDF Button in the Menu Bar . Then write the coding as per your requirement and calll the function module GUI_DOWNLOAD.

Before this your alv final output internal table should be populated.

Thanks,

Pradeep.

it's good idea, but when i do this, adobe can't open the file.

Okay.. What is the error about . " File cannot be open due to corrupted" Similar like this ?

[Former Member]

actually, i think it doesn't convert the alv to pdf, so it can't open that. The error is like this.

"Adobe Reader could not open 'xxx.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
