OTF formatted Spool and ABAP spool to be merged into a pdf

Question

I am creating a program which merges two spools into one pdf document. Now, the two spools are different, one is in otf format since its a SAP script. Other is a ABAP list. I use function modules CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF & CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to get data in internal table in pdf format. Then I append one after the other & then download. The problem with this is only one of the spools can be seen in output(pdf file) and not both.
Can somebody assist.
Thanks.

Hi Shiv,
We have similar issue when merging two smartforms.
We have applied the following logic :
First populated an internal table OTFDATA1 with OTF data of both forms:
Ex:
    LOOP AT JOB_OUTPUT_INFO-OTFDATA INTO WA_OTFDATA.
      APPEND WA_OTFDATA TO OTFDATA1.
      CLEAR OTFDATA1.
    ENDLOOP.
The we have called the following function:
First populated an internal table
     CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
        EXPORTING
          FORMAT                = 'PDF'
        IMPORTING
          BIN_FILESIZE          = G_FILESIZE
        TABLES
          OTF                   = OTFDATA1
          LINES                 = I_PDF_TAB
        EXCEPTIONS
          ERR_MAX_LINEWIDTH     = 1
          ERR_FORMAT            = 2
          ERR_CONV_NOT_POSSIBLE = 3
          ERR_BAD_OTF           = 4.
Then send to File syatem :
CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME_USING_PATH'
    EXPORTING
      LOGICAL_PATH               = L_LOGICALPATH
      FILE_NAME                  = L_INFILE
    IMPORTING
      FILE_NAME_WITH_PATH        = L_FILE
    EXCEPTIONS
      PATH_NOT_FOUND             = 1
      MISSING_PARAMETER          = 2
      OPERATING_SYSTEM_NOT_FOUND = 3
      FILE_SYSTEM_NOT_FOUND      = 4
      OTHERS                     = 5.
  IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    MESSAGE S000(ZV) WITH 'Unable to download PDF file'.
  ELSE.
    MESSAGE S000(ZV) WITH 'PDF file downloaded Successfully'.
  ENDIF.
May be this will help.
