Export to pdf..

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have certain values in my table(UI Element). I want to export those values in PDF, Like how we do in Excel. .

loop at LT_SFLIGHT into LS_SFLIGHT. concatenate TEXT LS_SFLIGHT-CARRID

LS_SFLIGHT-CONNID

LS_SFLIGHT-FLDATE

LS_SFLIGHT-CURRENCY

LS_SFLIGHT-PLANETYPE

CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE into TEXT separated by

CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>FORM_FEED.

endloop.

call function 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'

exporting

TEXT = TEXT

importing

BUFFER = XTEXT. WDR_TASK=>CLIENT_WINDOW->CLIENT->ATTACH_FILE_TO_RESPONSE(

**path to the word file

I_FILENAME = 'download.pdf'

• String Variable

I_CONTENT = XTEXT

• File Type

I_MIME_TYPE = 'ADOBE'

• I_IN_NEW_WINDOW = abap_true

I_INPLACE = ABAP_TRUE ).

I am getting the pop up as ' File does not begin with '%pdf-''.

can we do like this or we have to design adobe separately...

Hi,

Easy way is export that table to the smartform and then export that smartform to the PDF.

You can't just concatenate the data together and come away with a PDF. PDF is a complicated binary format and you need special software to produce it. For the print output of the ALV we use set forms and a call to the Adobe Document Services to generate the PDF. Either consider using the ALV and use the print function to generate a PDF create your own custom Adobe Form for the output.
