PDF file transfer using web service

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are using ABAP web service (through function module) to transfer some data from ECC to a portal system which is Non-SAP system.

One of the requirement is to send Invoice print out in PDF format through web service?

Can we achieve that?

I know we can create a spool and convert that spool to PDF binary format using FM  CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF.

But once data is converted, I checked within SAP in debug mode, it is coming in some non-readable format.

WSDL file is not able to interpret that data for front end system and front end system is giving error "http/1.1 500 internal server error"

Any pointer on this will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Hello Punit,

One way you can try is sending internal table data in XML format.

Check with front end system if they convert XML data to PDF or not.
