You have to make the file 255 characters long.

You can refer this sample code.

 LOOP AT pdf.
*        TRANSLATE pdf USING ' ~'.
        CONCATENATE wa_buffer pdf INTO wa_buffer RESPECTING BLANKS.
    ENDLOOP.

*   TRANSLATE wa_buffer USING '~ '.
    DO.
      t_contents_bin = wa_buffer.
      APPEND t_contents_bin.
      SHIFT wa_buffer LEFT BY 255 PLACES.
      IF wa_buffer IS INITIAL.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
    ENDDO.

CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF - ABAP Report

and use the following pgm to download them in to pdf file.

Use logic in program RSTXPDFT4. (You can make copy of this program in custom program).

Change download to presentation logic (GUI_DOWNLOAD) to download data in table PDF.

OPEN DATASET p_file FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.
  IF sy-subrc = 0.
    LOOP AT pdf.
      TRANSFER pdf TO p_file.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
        WRITE : / 'Cannot write to file ', 23 p_file.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
  ELSE.
    WRITE : / 'Cannot Open file ', 18 p_file.
    CONTINUE.
  ENDIF.
  CLOSE DATASET p_file.

Binary mode is still not solving the issue
