Printer output to PDF format

[Former Member]

Hello Everyone,

I would first like to apologize if this is the incorrect area for this topic however I saw related material which helped me a little.

I have an interesting problem which I am looking for some assistance or insight into.

Currently running 4.6D version of SAP and am trying to take some old reports printing on a Xerox to be saved on a network location however having a hard time figuring out how to approach the issue. Right now I can use SAP conversion method from 4.6C by having a print queue setup example being IT40 and have that alias a print to file printer. This as you can already tell is creating a lot of manual process to occur which is what I am trying to avoid.

These reports vary in size and amounts from 1 to 30 individual reports and totally around 2,300 pages. I am mainly trying to eliminate the Xerox so that is one less expense which the department has to deal with.

Thank you very much in advance, if this is the wrong place I apologize again.

I want to first thank you jeevitha for looking at this question.

I will make sure to mark you and also this as solved once I have had a chance to try the code out.

Once reading it, everything seems to be a much easier answer then I was expecting.

Again thank you very much for your time, I will update on the outcome.
