Smartform to PDF format

[Former Member]

Hi All,

i have a requirement to convert the smartform into a PDF file.

So far this is what I have

w_cparam-no_dialog = 'X'.

W_CPARAM-PREVIEW = SPACE. "

W_CPARAM-GETOTF = 'X'.

w_outoptions-tddest = 'LP01'.

CALL FUNCTION W_FMODULE

EXPORTING

• ARCHIVE_INDEX =

• ARCHIVE_INDEX_TAB =

• ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS =

CONTROL_PARAMETERS = W_CPARAM

• MAIL_APPL_OBJ =

• MAIL_RECIPIENT =

• MAIL_SENDER =

OUTPUT_OPTIONS = W_OUTOPTIONS

• USER_SETTINGS = 'X'

IMPORTING

• DOCUMENT_OUTPUT_INFO =

JOB_OUTPUT_INFO = T_OTF_FROM_FM

• JOB_OUTPUT_OPTIONS =

TABLES

TBL_AMT = FINAL_TAB

EXCEPTIONS

FORMATTING_ERROR = 1

INTERNAL_ERROR = 2

SEND_ERROR = 3

USER_CANCELED = 4

OTHERS = 5

and then i have the convert OTF func module and GUI download to download the pdf.

The smartform is getting downloaded in pdf format BUT

i want to be able to do a print preview also. With the code above, I am not able to do it.

i am also unable to print the smartform. When the print screen popup comes up, i hit the print button but immediately, the file dialog box came up and asked me for the destination of the file.

The only way I am able to print is by opening the pdf file and hitting the print button.

Cn you please suggest me some modifications so as to be able to get a print preview and print option.

Thanks!

Hi,

when you give for printing prit preview will not available, And when you give for print preview you will not get spool n umber and you can't down,lolad the attachment. If you want to see the preview when you give for printing then agian call the FM immediately after downloded the form by passing print preview = 'X' and W_CPARAM-GETOTF = ' '..
