Convert Files from any format to PDF Format from SAP ABAP

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I have a requirement where files of various formats (TXT, DOC, XLS, PNG, PDF, MSG etc.) are stored in SAP database as attachments to a particular business Object in SAP for example HR - PPRP, Purchase Order.

The client wants to get all these document converted into PDF format from OpenText EFM perspective. Can you please let me know the process of converting any format to PDF in ABAP.

Regards,

Zafar

Hello Zafar Ahmed,

     If you want the conversion(rendition) from EFM perspective there is a option for you to use rendition server along with ADA which takes care of any format to eithier PDF, PDF/a, PDF/a 1-b and Searchable PDF conversion.

   In case if you are looking for a ABAP routine for conversion please let me know.

Thanks,

Kolusu

Hi Kolusu,

I am looking for ABAP routine to convert XLSX to PDF.  Do you know if one exists?

Or is there a call to an opentext routine possible?

I had some success using a COM interface with a third party API but I am now having problems with it.

Thank you and best regards,
