Maximize the PDF during report preview

[Former Member]

Hi

I am using the function module SSFCOMP_PDF_PREVIEW for previewing the engagement report in PDF however the window size when previewing in PDF is smaller than normal and does not fit in the screen. It does not provide an user interface to maximize the window.

The user wants to view the report in PDF and in normal size so that it fits the screen normally. Is there a technique in SAP or a function module to achieve this.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

The function module is pritty simple and why not copy it and change the custom control on the screen to a more realistic size.

I only found PDF preview programs related to smartforms that is so integrated to smartforms that you will not easily be able to use them in reports.

Other option download to the users temp_directory and excecute Adobe like the code inserted.
