Convert SmartForm to PDF issues

[Former Member]

I am using the following code to convert a SmartForm into PDF. I got a lot of the code from a Wiki but I have a few issues with it. The first is that I do not want to display the SmartForm to the user; I want it saved, as a PDF, imediatly. My other issue is that I get an error when it calls the FM 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'. The error says:

'OTF end command // missing in OTF data'.

What does that error mean and how do I fix it?

Below is my code:

      d_col_name TYPE string.

when calling the function module for the smartform, you will have to add the get_otf parameter of one of your exporting parameters.

I'm not sure if this is the st_control_parameters or the st_output_options parameter. Look for field get_otf in one of these parameters and mark it like 'X'.

Thanks a lot! It is in the st_control_parameters. I forgot to copy that portion of the code.
