Image Missing In PDF Converted from SapScript

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I was supposed to convert SapScript into PDF for sending as an attachment with mail.

When I am doing that the image (client's logo) in SapScript is not present in PDF file.

Strange scenario here is that when I am downloading that same file to my hard disk then it is absolutely fine.

I have used FM 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF' to get PDF table. Then I compressed the PDF table data using the follwoing code snippet:

LOOP AT lt_pdftab INTO wa_pdftab.

TRANSLATE wa_pdftab USING ' ~'.

CONCATENATE wa_buffer wa_pdftab INTO wa_buffer.

CLEAR wa_pdftab.

ENDLOOP.

TRANSLATE wa_buffer USING '~ '.

DO.

wa_record = wa_buffer.

APPEND wa_record TO lt_record.

CLEAR wa_record.

SHIFT wa_buffer LEFT BY 255 PLACES.

IF wa_buffer IS INITIAL.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

I think in this above process only some thing is going wrong because when I am downloading PDF file using GUI_DOWNLOAD then I am passing directly internal table lt_pdftab & not lt_record. But on exporting lt_pdftab data as attachment with mail the PDF file is getting opened with error.

Any help regarding the same is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Shiva,

Thanks for the reply. But I think I couldn't make my question clear enough.

The issue is not while downloading the PDF file. I am getting it absolutely fine when I am downloading it. The issue is with while sending the PDF as an attachment with mail.
