Spool to PDF - Problems with downloading PDF file when converting with job

Hi all!

I've got a problem. I've got a program that writes a smartform into the spool. After that, I am using the function modules RSTS_GET_ATTRIBUTES and CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to convert it into PDF. I retrieve a internal table with the binary content for the PDF file. Now i can download the file to the desktop by using the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download.

But there is a problem: when the spool excesses 99 pages, the function module CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF asks the user via popup if the PDF should be created in background. If the user commits, the internal tables that should contain the binary PDF data is emtpy. A background job writes the binary data into the spool. The user has got an empty file that will be generated by cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download.

So, is it possible to suppress the popup to create the PDF allways online? Or how can I write the PDF file if there will be create any spool id in background? You'll find my current code below.
