Hi

you can use this FM to read PDF

SSFCOMP_PDF_PREVIEW

go to se37 -> Just type pdf and hit F4 and you would find many FM regarding PDF

Any help

Use the fm above to write the file to the file system on the server or locally. Create a dialog page with an html viewer. Pass the path to the html viewer and open the page with the default browser.

Your browser can handle pdf files so no problem.

You could also look at a direct call to the browser passing in the path.

Enjoy :>)

Ali:

This one really got me going after looking at Rich's Hielman's post. Unfortunately, I am not on a 7.00 unicode system, rather 4.6C.

I started looking at this from the perspective of a smartform. My original idea was to generate the pdf file write it to the file system and then call it using an html viewer in a dialog page.

I subsequently found a better approach, at least for smartforms and sapcript using the fm 'HR_IT_DISPLAY_WITH_PDF'.

This fm takes an otf table from the smartform and does all the work for you. Enjoy

REPORT z_render_spool_as_pdf .

DATA: ls_control_param      TYPE ssfctrlop.
DATA: ls_composer_param     TYPE ssfcompop.

ls_control_param-device = space.
ls_control_param-getotf = 'X'.

ls_control_param-getotf = 'X'.
ls_control_param-no_dialog = 'X'.

DATA: l_document_output_info TYPE ssfcrespd,
l_job_output_info TYPE ssfcrescl,
