Hi

Execute the program "RSTXPDFT4" with SPOOL ID.

Hope it helps.

to get preview u can use

Function module SSFCOMP_PDF_PREVIEW

it will call Function module CONVERT_OTF for you internally.

hi.

if the requirement is to just checking the form output in pdf

than go to tcode'RSTXPDF4'.

it asks for spool no. on further execution will download the pdf into your desired location.

else you want pdf permanently in your driver program than

check out this program:

The Smart form Function will return the OTFDATA in

the exporting parameter JOB_OUTPUT_INFO.

JOB_OUTPUT_INFO-OTFDATA

use this OTF data and convert it to pdf. use the Function modue CONVERT_OTF for conversion from OTF to PDF.

Hi,

Try the below code in the smartform driver program after the smartform function module call.

otfdata should be imported from the smartforms calling function module

i_otf = wa_tab_otf_data-otfdata.

FYI...

anything that starts with cl_gui_frontend_services

do not work in background.
