[Former Member]

Hi All,

My requirement is to convert the smartform to PDF and print it simulteneously. I'm using the fm <b>convert_otf_2_pdf</b> to convert the smartform into PDF. How can I print the smartform soon after converting it to PDF format?

Hi Sreenivasulu,

Ur reply and the links provided explain more about mailing the PDF document. However, my requirement is to print the PDF data which is generated after calling the function module "convert_otf_2_pdf".

[Former Member]

Hi,

Use the FM: SCPRPRINT_SET_PRINT_PARAMETERS

to set the print parameters.

You can set various parameters like,

params-pdest = 'LOCL'. "Destination

params-primm = 'X'. "Print Immediately

params-prnew = 'X'. "New Spool Request.

params-armod = '1'. "Print: Archiving Mode - Print Only

params-linct = 65. "Rows

params-linsz = 255. "Cols

params-paart = 'X_65_255'.

params-prrec = sy-uname. "User name

params-prsap = ''. "Print: SAP Cover Page

params-prunx = ''. "PRINT: Host spool cover page

params-prcop = '001'. "number of copies

Hi Naresh,

I was told that a spool number will not be generated when the field "getotf" of the control parameters is filled with ' X'. Is it not true?

hi Rajesh,

Here is the sample code.

DATA: i_otf TYPE itcoo OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,

Step 1:

call function 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'

exporting

formname = 'ZZZ_TEST2'

importing

fm_name = v_form_name

exceptions

no_function_module = 2

others = 3.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

ENDIF.

w_ctrlop-getotf = 'X'.

Step 2:

Step 4:

check the below link also for your reference....

Hope this helps.

If so,kindly reward points.If you need clarifications,kindly get back.

Hi Naveen,

Will the code supplied by you print the PDF document? My PDF document is of Landscape orientation and LETTER format. The reference link is also missing.
