Hi Friends

I am working on adobe print forms.

I have one doubt that is If SAP itself providing the option <b>migrate smartform to Adobe Interactive form,</b> what's the necessity to create the forms from scratch i.e why we have to create Interface,Context and Forms.

Is we get any flwas by simply migrating the smartform to adobe interactive form?

Please anyone explain me?

Points are assured for useful ansers.

Regards,

Sree

yes u can convert smartform into pdf. follow these steps.

1. first call your smart form as u do.

e.g. CALL FUNCTION '/1BCDWB/SF00000127'

in this just activate these two also

IMPORTING

DOCUMENT_OUTPUT_INFO = it_tab1

and this internal table (it_tab1) it will store the data of smart form.

2. then call fm to convert it_tab1 data into pdf.

call convert_otf

and in this fm just pass it_tab1.

EXPORTING

format = 'DOC'

IMPORTING

bin_filesize = v_pdf_len

TABLES

otf = it_tab1

lines = pdf_table

EXCEPTIONS

err_max_linewidth = 1

err_format = 2

err_conv_not_possible = 3

err_bad_otf = 4

OTHERS = 5.

3. now u can save this fm on your local system.

***********************

second method

apart from allowing sap to convert your smart form to pdf u can also do it by downloading two software files

and then install it in your local system.

links for those files are.

http://www.pdf995.com/download.html

and download pdf printer driver from here

after that goto printer setup and make PDF995 as default printer.

and finally when your smart form is ready to print just click on print button then as your default printer is pdf995 it will convert your smartform into pdf and that u can save it in your system.

plz reward point .
