in R/3 display smartform as pdf in a custom container

Hello,

I want to display smartform as pdf in a custom contianer . I was able to find all the right code from sdn.

but my problem is that when executed my sap gui is closed without any error.

I am unable to understand what is going wrong.

CALL METHOD G_HTML_CONTROL->SHOW_URL( URL = LV_URL

IN_PLACE = 'X' ). does not show the pdf.

Can any one help me to find out if we need to do some setting for MIME type application/pdf. Because I tried to display a bar chart in the custom container of MIME type text/html , and this is working fine.

Is any setting missing in our R/3 because of which the code is not getting executed.

below code is the exact copy from a post in sdn:
