This web log covers all possibilities:

/people/sap.user72/blog/2004/11/10/bsphowto-generate-pdf-output-from-a-bsp

<b>Other options:</b>

U've to create a spool and then convert it to pdf by report RSTXPDFT4.

or

use this function module to convert to pdf.

call function 'CONVERT_OTF'

EXPORTING

format = 'PDF'

max_linewidth = 132

IMPORTING

bin_filesize = v_len_in

TABLES

otf = i_otf

lines = i_tline

EXCEPTIONS

err_max_linewidth = 1

err_format = 2

err_conv_not_possible = 3

others = 4.

  • Fehlerhandling

if sy-subrc <> 0.

endif.

Reward points if this Helps.

Hi ,

Try with this sample code

This report takes another report as input, and captures the output of that report. The output is then converted to PDF and saved to a local file. This shows how to use some of the PDF function modules, as well as an easy way to create PDF files.

One thing I am not thrilled about is how the spool number is retrieved. If anyone has any better method, please let me know! Until I actually have a production use for a program like this, I will not try to find a better way.
