I have used the CONVERT_OTF before and it works very well. However if you are trying to convert the document and can't get the OTF data you might look at the following function module: CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF. With this function, you only have to supply a spool id number. There is a similar function that you can use if you want to convert ABAP List: CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF. Both the CONVERT_OTF and the function I mentioned return the data in table of structure TLINE (2 fields per record - TDFORMAT CHAR2 & TDLINE CHAR 132). This means that you PDF data is actually in Charater format. I have never tried to publish this to the Portal, but I have E-Mailed PDFs. I would imagine you will face a similar challenge in that now you must convert the character based PDF data to binary. The following is a code fragment from a 620 system that converts to the data to a binary table with a line width of 255 characters (this is what the E-mail interface expects). I would imagine it would be simple to convert this example to a produce a byte string instead of a byte table.
Cast to binary type and adjust table line length
data: begin of content_in,
line type tline,
dummy type tline,
end of content_in.
types pdf_raw type x length 268.
field-symbols 0.
append content_out to objbin.
endif.
