Display Sap script in PDF

[Former Member]

Hi all

I have to convert SAP script output into PDF and display in PDF.

I have the following data with me:

-

---

Encoded PDF data (BIN file) from SAP script. I created this using the FM CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF.

Requirement:

-

---

I do not want to use the report RSTXPDFT4, since it will ask for the spool request number and will ask us to download into hard disk. What I want is, when I run the print program of the SAP script, the output should be displayed in PDF format instead standard SAPscript output format.

Is it possible? Please let me know how.

Thanks nad regards,

Prasad

or u can use the standard program RSTXPDFT4 to download the script into PDF format onto a particular location

follow this link for sample program.

Hi Kiran,

Thanks for the reply, but thats not what I want. As said by me:

1) I am <b>ALREADY USING CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF</b>, so I dont require anything that converts to OTF.

2) I <b>DO NOT want to download</b> the PDF from SAP. Hence I do not want to use either 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' or the report RSTXPDFT4.

I just want to display the SAP script output in PDF format.
