Hi Vishal,

please go throuh the below procedure and sample Code, this might help you.

Procedure

When we activate the Smartform the system generates a Function Module. The function module name we can get from Smartfrom screen from menubar

“Environment => Function Module_Name” . In a report we can get this Function module name by calling a Function Module standard SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME. This function module at runtime calls the FM generated by smartform, which in turn is then used to pass data from the report to Smartform. In the report given below the FM generated is “ /1BCDWB/SF00000152 ”. In this FM we can see CONTROL_PARAMETERS in import tab. This is of type SSFCTRLOP. We need to set the GETOTF of this to be ‘X’. Setting this field will activate the OTF field in smartform.

In export tab of the FM generated by smartform we can see a parameter JOB_OUTPUT_INFO which is of type SSFCRESCL. The SSFCRESCL is a structure of having one of fields as OTFDATA. OTFDATA in turn is a table of type ITCOO. ITCOO has two fields TDPRINTCOM and TDPRINTPAR. TDPRINTCOM represents command line of OTF format data and TDPRINTPAR contains command parameters of OTF format data.

In every Smartform output in OTF format, TDPRINTCOM begins and ends with ‘//’. ‘EP’ represents the end-of-page value for TDPRINTCOM field.

In addition we need to set few fields at the place where we call this FM(generated by smartform) in our program. While calling this FM we should set control_parameters, output_options, user_settings and job_putput_info fields as shown in program.

Once these settings are done we can call Function Module CONVERT_OTF to convert the OTF data of smartfrom output to PDF data format. Once these are done we can call method “cl_gui_fronted_services=>file_save_dialog” to specify the directory path where we want to save the output PDF file. After this we can call Function Module GUI_DOWNLOAD to download the PDF file on our local system.

Here is a sample code of program to perform the function.
