Hi all,

I have a classical report output that I need to send as a PDF attachment in an e-mail. I am converting the spool to PDF using FM CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF. I have a bespoke e-mail framework that recognizes the data only in Binary format. And so I need to convert the PDF output given by CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF into a Binary file. I am currently downloading and uploading this back in Binary format and then using my bespoke e-mail framework. Could you guys tell me an approach other than the download/upload option to convert the PDF into a Binary format?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Naren,

I only wish to know how to convert the PDFspool give by the FMCONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF into a BINARY data format. This is because my email framework recognizes only BIN/XSTRING format. Could you help me with that.

Okay..Check the program RSTXPDFT4 where the function module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF is used

Hi Naren,

I m interested in knowing an approach where I can covert the Spool PDF into an BIN file without doing download/upload.
