Hi Kumar,

Which smartform you are using?. In case of Sales/Purchasing you can send smartform via E-mail. Your functional consultant has to do some config. for E-mail or Fax communivation.

Please check Transaction (for Sales/Shipping/Purchasing) : NACE

and select the desired function (Sales/Shipping/Purchasing Example : sales "V1" ) then select your Output type then select your Output.

Then select processing routines and check medium.

Hope this may help you.

hi kiran

here is the sample program to convert the smartform into pdf format

Here is the sample code.

DATA: i_otf TYPE itcoo OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,

i_tline TYPE TABLE OF tline WITH HEADER LINE,

• Work Area declarations

w_ctrlop TYPE ssfctrlop,

w_compop TYPE ssfcompop,

w_return TYPE ssfcrescl,

• Variables declarations

v_form_name TYPE rs38l_fnam,

v_len_in LIKE sood-objlen,

v_len_out LIKE sood-objlen,

v_len_outn TYPE i.

Step 1:

call function 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'

exporting

formname = 'ZZZ_TEST2'

importing

fm_name = v_form_name

exceptions

no_form = 1

no_function_module = 2

others = 3.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno

WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

ENDIF.

w_ctrlop-getotf = 'X'.

w_ctrlop-no_dialog = 'X'.

w_compop-tdnoprev = 'X'.

Step 2:

CALL FUNCTION v_form_name

EXPORTING

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno

WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

ENDIF.

Step 3:

i_otf[] = w_return-otfdata[].

Step 4:

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'

EXPORTING
