Problem when downloading Smartform - Have unwanted objects in pdf File

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I have another problem regarding Smartforms. I am downloading my smartform output in pdf format using the following fm's:

<b>CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF

DOWNLOAD</b>

But when I open the pdf file, there are note-like graphics appearing on the side of the form, something similar to comment notes you place on a word document. I have also tried to substitute CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF with CONVERT_OTF, and DOWNLOAD with GUI_DOWNLOAD. They all produce the same weird error on the form.

When I preview the smartform, the note-like objects are not there, so I'm assuming there is something weird going on during the downloading process.

I have read in a thread somewhere here that they have encountered a similar problem, but no specific solution was proposed.

Can someone please help me?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

There is something missing in your code itself due to which the file is not opening.

I have worked with the downloading concept for both script and smartform.

I am sending you the code please check it out.

DATA: form_name TYPE rs38l_fnam, " Used to get the function module of Smartform

t_otfdata TYPE ssfcrescl. " Smart Forms: Return value at end of form printing

Data: t_pdf_tab type table of tline, " SAPscript: Text Lines
