how to convert smart form to PDF ?

[Former Member]

i want to convert the smartform output to PDF format, i am using convert_otf, convert_otf_to_pdf, GUI_download function module. but i am getting an information saying "OTF end command // missing in OTF" . Please help to resolve this problem

Hi,

Set the Control Parameter GETOTF in structure CONTROL_PARAMETERS as 'X' (Interface Parameter to Smart Form) and then use CONVERT_OTF_TO_PDF and GUI_DOWNLOAD.

hi

good

try to use this i hope this ll help you to solve your problem,

• 1. call the smart form FM

CALL FUNCTION '/xxx/xxxx'

EXPORTING

user_settings = space

control_parameters = control_parameters

output_options = output_options

IMPORTING

job_output_info = output_data

TABLES

zsystems = lt_sys

EXCEPTIONS

formatting_error = 1

internal_error = 2

send_error = 3

user_canceled = 4

OTHERS = 5.

• 2. convert the OTF data to PDF

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'

EXPORTING

format = 'PDF'

IMPORTING

bin_filesize = l_pdf_len

bin_file = l_pdf_xstring

TABLES

otf = output_data-otfdata

lines = lt_lines

EXCEPTIONS

err_max_linewidth = 1

err_format = 2

err_conv_not_possible = 3

err_bad_otf = 4

OTHERS = 5.

thanks

The procedure for the form to be returned as a table in OTF format is as follows:

1. Define a structure of type SSFCTRLOP (control structure, standard parameter CONTROL_PARAMETERS) and another structure of type SSFCRESCL (to contain the output results, standard parameter JOB_OUTPUT_INFO):

DATA: my_control_pars TYPE ssfctrlop. "For CONTROL_PARAMETERS

DATA: my_output_info TYPE ssfcrescl. "For JOB_OUTPUT_INFO

2. To deactivate the dialogs and to inform SAP Smart Forms that you only want the OTF table to be returned, set the parameters NO_DIALOG and GETOTF of the control structure:

my_control_pars-no_dialog = 'X'.

my_control_pars-getotf = 'X'.

3. Pass both structures in the call of the generated function module.

Now access the OTF table in the formal parameter JOB_OUTPUT_INFO using the OTFDATA parameter of your structure.

4. Get the OTF output from table OTFDATA of the standard parameter JOB_OUTPUT_INFO.

5. To convert the OTF output to PDF, transfer the OTF table to the function module CONVERT_OTF. To do this, set the parameter FORMAT to 'PDF'. The output can be returned either as a binary string (parameter BIN_FILE) or as a character table (parameter LINES). SAP recommends the first variant.

CALL FUNCTION "CONVERT_OTF"

EXPORTING FORMAT = "PDF"

IMPORTING BIN_FILESIZE = FILE_LEN

TABLES OTF = OTFDATA

LINES = PDFDATA

EXCEPTIONS ERR_MAX_LINEWIDTH = 1

ERR_FORMAT = 2

ERR_CONV_NOT_POSSIBLE = 3

OTHERS = 4.

I hope it helps.
