Printing/Converting Office documents from SAP

[former_member182374]

Hi all,

When I try to print office documents by using CV120_START_APPLICATION. I don't receive feedback from the application (ie: Word, Excel etc) to SAP about error/success of printing.

is there another way to print office documents from SAP and reveice feedback?

Another question:

Is there a way to convert office documents (doc, xls, ppt)to pdf files without using external program?

To answer you first question, I assume that your function module is using OLE to open the document. In OLE, I don't think that you can retrieve the status of the printing. I believe that you are only able to fire specific commands, like saving, printing, etc.

Hi All,

I am also facing the same problem,

When I try to print office documents by using CV120_START_APPLICATION. I don't receive feedback from the application (ie: Word, Excel etc) to SAP about error/success of printing.

Is there another way to print office documents from SAP or should I use some other FM like CV120_GET_APPL_FROM_REGISTRY?

Advance thanks.
