I need to upload data in PDF format into an internal table in SAP. Is there any function module for this.

Any suggesions or ideas will be highly appreciated.

Hi Sandeep,

I dont' think uploading from PDF to an Itab is possible in SAP. Strange requirement indeed. You must think of a different kinnda work around for this. Mebbe u can use some third party tools to convert this PDF to some other format, that can be recognised by SAP for upload.

Cheers,

Sam

Hi,

We are using ixos for this. Have a look at http://www.ixos.com/ and http://www.opentext.com/products/sap/index.html?ref=ixhome

Welcome to SDN.

It depends on what do you want to do with the PDF uploaded.

if you just want to store it in SAP and view it later using PDF viewer then you can do that.

use GUI_UPLOAD with file type as BIN

this will upload the PDF and you can store the binary content in a custom table.

Hi

I tried using GUI_UPLOAD with filetype 'BIN'. But I get a lot of junk characters.

Thanks & Regards

the data is in binary format. after uploading just download it again using gui_download with BIN option to desktop with extention.pdf .

then open it from desktop it will work.

As i asked before what do you want to do with the uploaded content.

Hi Raja,

After we uploaded the PDF into binary format, how then can we convert it to OTF or PDF format? I would like to print the PDF to spool.

Hi Durairaj,

Is it possible to keep the PDF file in the long text box for standard screens?

Thanks,
