MS Word in Webdynpro for ABAP - convert it to PDF

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I am wondering if it possible to generate a PDF document from a MS Word template document with merge fields that I submitted on OAOR. The idea was to deliver this document in word to HR Assistants in a Webdynpro using SAP Office Control so they can edit but for employees it would be great to display it as a PDF.

Is it possible?... Any hints?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!

If you can convert MS word document info PDF using VBA, then you should be able to do this using OLE objects. Basically, you should find out how you can "Save As PDF" in VBA and then write the corresponding code in ABAP through OLE objects.
