Hi,

Send the print request to spool, and from spool convert the output to PDF using fm CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF,

Hi Kaki,

Use these FM's

"CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF" or "SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF" .

Hi Kaki,

please check the below code it may helpful for u

All you have to do is call your SF to get OTF and then concert it to PDF. Works like charm:

s_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.

s_control_parameters-getotf = 'X'.

CALL FUNCTION v_func_name "call your smartform

EXPORTING

output_options = s_output_options

control_parameters = s_control_parameters

IMPORTING

job_output_info = s_job_output_info

call function 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'

tables

otf = s_job_output_info-otfdata

lines = t_pdf

Hi,

This has the print program. This fires the print program that is configured in the NACE transaction tied to the specific output. So, if you want a PDF you will have do the changes there.
