How to output PDF file through XI from PDF form generated in SAP

[Former Member]

Hi, All,

I need to generate and send out PDF file to other system through XI. The PDF file source come from SAP PDF form which type is XSTRING. I see there is a similar thread posted here /message/527877#527877 [original link is broken]

but it seems does not have good solution there. Can anybody give a hand?

Useful information will be surely awarded.

hi, Can you explain how this was done. How will XI get the smart form data from SAP. Is it through an internal table ?

Hi, Raj,

No. It is xstring (pdfstring). Thanks.

In your ABAP program that generates the smartforms, you can getthe xstring data.

pass that xstring data via an outbound proxy to XI.

From there you can pass the data to your target system.

For this you have to create a message interface in your XI.

Then generate a proxy in SPROXY transaction.

Then you have to call some methiods that get generated when the proxy is generated, in your abap program.

Thanks for the reply!

I know this process. My problem is how to output a pdf file with that xstring. you know xstring is not pdf format. It is hexadecimal format. When you output that hexadecimal to a pdf file. PDF reader could not open it.

Hi,

Please check the links below to know about conversion agent tool,it is a third party tool which helps to convert the PDF,word doc,HL7 doc......etc into xml format.

This s/w u have to buy from SAP and do the convertion in the convertion agent tool and deploy it in the xi server.

Hi,

if you only want to send the pdf to another system (without mapping) you can do it like described in this blog:

Hi,

Thanks for the input. But my problem is that my source input is the PDF string which generated in SAP. It is hex format. I need to generate PDF file with this Xstring and output to another system. Any good idea?
