Issue with FP_JOB_OPEN /CLOSE

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am working on Multiple form outputs.It is like printing multple invoices.My goal is to get all invoices in only single pdf file.

I have called FM's FM_JOB_OPEN & CLOSE in loop and endloop.

Although i see a single spool number i still see multiple part numbers for the file.

Basically user wants to see all in one PDF rather than Multiple parts as i am presently getting .

Here is the output jpeg imaged i am getting [Image output|http://picasaweb.google.com/vara.kp/Spool?feat=directlink#5386561577288827010]

Inside loop these are parameters

fp_outputparams-nodialog = 'X'. " suppress printer dialog popup

fp_outputparams-dest = 'ZADS'.

fp_outputparams-ARCMODE = ''.

outside loop.

fp_outputparams-reqnew = 'X'.

I am clearing fp_outputparams at end of loop...

Do I have to maintain any other parameter which will stop doing it?

Adobe forms do not work as previous technologies, you CAN'T merge several generated forms into one PDF. I mean, you can't do it in the ABAP. You must do it in the form itself, by creating a subform on the whole page, and repeat it. I've never done it. You may also use third-party softwares to merge several PDFs into one PDF. It has already been asked in Interactive Forms by Adobe forum.

Sandra,

Thank you for your input.

Could you throw some more light on this subform repeating.

Do we have any blogs or links whihc can help me build this?

loop.

Soumyaprakash,

I tried your recommendation .

It gives me core dump.

The following error text was processed in the system DV1 : Error SYSTEM_CORE_DUMPED occured. P1=0 
The error occurred on the application server sape-dev_DV1_00 and in the work process 0 . 
The termination type was: RABAX_STATE 
The ABAP call stack was:

Looks like Sandra is right we got to work on form itself.. but unfortunately this is my first time of Adobe forms with multiple.

You need to convert spool to OTF combined all the OTF structure and then convert to PDF after the loop
