how to save the background job output in pdf format to server level - windows

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We have configured one output device with device type PDF and access method L: print locally using LP/LPR.

Host printer as the printer which is configured at windows server level with print to file characteristics.

Please help me to convert the job output to pdf and as it saved to windows server level path.

I solved this by below steps. # note 161516

I have configured output device FILEPRINT with type PDF1: , access method: L , host printer : PDFwriter (which is configured at server level)

at command set ID provided : E:\ZPRINT\print.cmd &F

print.cmd script :

@echo off

rem %1 file name

set target=E:\ZTEST\spool

REM copy file

cmd /c copy %1 %target% >> error.log

whenever I prints the data from SAP by selecting output device : FILEPRINT , its saving the file in server level path E:\ZTEST\spool.

Thank you Srivastava,

Above link is useful to ABAPers & its advised to send pdf to Mail.

I searched myself to get the solution, ABAPers assigned to BASIS team only as they want to run standard reports and output should be saved at OS level.

I have found one Note # 161516 but not able to configure as mentioned in the note.

Our ECC 6.0 is on Windows server.

I believe this requires some work at the OS level too.

Not a big deal I believe if that note really solves your purpose.
