Error while converting internal table into PDF

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

According to my requirement, i need to download the contents of the internal table into PDF file.

But when i create a spool of the internal table contents it shows zero pages even when there is content and it gets displayed when i double click on the TYPE column in Spool number.

Due to this when i use the FM 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF' and then 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' to convert it into PDF and download on local machine, a PDF file gets generated but it showz error stating 'No Pages found'.

What might be the reason for this error?

Hi

Firstly, How are you generating/triggering the spool?

Are you using any write statements to write the content of the internal table to the spool?

Do you see all the contents of the internal table in the spool when you select the spool and click 'Display' in trxn SP01?

Hi

Check the Printer options how you were using whether Print Immediately/No Print/Print 0 pages etc.

One you got the spool correctly ,then you can use the FM: CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF and do the necessary things.
