sending pdf via email: pdf is not returned from function module

[Former Member]

Hi all.

I am having trouble sending a pdf form as an attachment to an email.

After calling the funtion module that is creating the PDF, field pdf of the return parameter /1bcdwb/formoutput should be used to create the attachment.

But the field PDF is empty after calling the function module - only the field xml is given back.

What did I miss?

Thank you for your help and best regards, Kathrin!

Hi Kathrin,

See below for the example:

ls_outputparams-getpdf = 'X'.

CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
     CHANGING
       ie_outputparams = ls_outputparams
     EXCEPTIONS
       cancel          = 1
       usage_error     = 2
       system_error    = 3
       internal_error  = 4
       OTHERS          = 5.

If you setup the job like this then the pdf parameter will be filled with the XSTRING data for the generated PDF.
