Hello,

Please follow the steps:

1. Mark 'X' in the field TDGETOTF of the structure ITCPO of the FM: OPEN_FORM.

2. You will get the OTF data of the form in tables parameter of the FM: CLOSE_FORM.

3. The OTF data may be converted to PDF data by FM: CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF.

4. This PDF data may be downloaded by FM: WS_DOWNLOAD or GUI_DOWNLOAD.

5. You can send this as attachment as a mail by FM: SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1. Detailed documentation is available for this FM.

I hope this helps you.

Hi friends

their is very simplest way to convert and document in to PDF file .

step 1. Goto ur printer settings in ur computer and install a printer with the name generic/textonly <-no space in this name . and choose port print to file .

step 2. Then goto tcode SPAD in ur SAP system and define a printer with name PDF AND GIVE DEVICE TYPE AS PDF1 : PDF ISO Latin-1 .

ACCESS METHOD -> PRINTING ON FRONT END COMPUTER .

HOST PRINTER -> GENERIC/TEXTONLY .

NOW U CAN USE DEVICE NAME PDF TO PRINT ANY FILE IN PDF FORMATE .

Hi Sachin,

Can you give an example as how to use that FM, please. Because I don't have the documentation.

Thanks
