Problem in converting spool to pdf

Hi Experts,
I want an internal table to be converted to the PDF. For this RSPO_OPEN_SPOOLREQUEST, RSPO_WRITE_SPOOLREQUEST and RSPO_CLOSE_SPOOLREQUEST to create the spool. However, somehow the table tsp01 does not gets updated as a result i could not convert the data to PDF. Can any one help me how this problem could be solved.
Thank.
Warm Regards,
Harshad.

Hi,
you can refer this sample code.
DATA: t_otfdata_tab LIKE ITCOO OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'
TABLES
OTFDATA = t_otfdata_tab
fill the exceptions..
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
ENDIF.
then pass the t_otfdata_tab to this function module..
CONSTANTS: c_pdf(03) VALUE 'PDF'.
PDF File size
DATA: w_file_size TYPE I.
Internal Table to hold Form contents in PDF format
DATA: t_pdfdata_tab LIKE tline OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
for converting. the output format from OTF to PDF
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
EXPORTING
FORMAT eq c_pdf
IMPORTING
BIN_FILESIZE = w_file_size
TABLES
OTF eq t_otfdata_tab
LINES eq t_pdfdata_tab
EXCEPTIONS...
use these links, hope it will be useful to you....

  • Problem in converting Spool to PDF file, having non-English characters

    Hi All,
            I have problem in converting Spool to PDF format.
    Scenario : I have a spool which has non-English characters. I am using CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF  FM to perform conversion. But my output is having junk values( ie # ) for non-English characters. Any pointers to solve this issue will be appreciated.
    I even tried with report RSTXPDFT4 , it also gives me the same junk characters.

    Hi Prashant,
    Thanks for your reply. Really it is very useful one.
    In this, the output list is getting populated into spool and to pdf.
    But my requirement sending the internal table contents to spool directly without dispalying in the output list.
    I did the program like the above mentioned one already. But my requirement is not that one.

  • Problem while converting Spool to PDF

    Hi,
    I am sending ALV report output to Spool then converting the Spool to PDF using  'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'.
    I am able to send the mail but in the PDF, the first page contains data statistics(no. of records passed) but I want to supress it. I need to get my Actual output only.
    Please help me regarding this.
    Thanks,
    Swathi

    You need to set the print parameter of the ALV to avoid the statistics in the Spool.
    Like:
    data:   ls_prnt      type slis_print_alv.
    ls_prnt-NO_PRINT_LISTINFOS = 'X'.
      call function 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
          is_print                          = ls_prnt

  • Problem in converting Spool Request into PDF format

    Hi,
      I am facing problem to convert spool request (which store output of sap script) in to PDF format. Actually I have converted it with function module 'CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF' and it is working properly but the problem occurs where the BOLD fonts are used. I am unable to see the Text/Address where i have used Bold Font in script (PDF FORMAT). Even though in (SPO1) spool request shows every thing perfectly (along with Bold Font). It will great if you could suggest me something.
    Thanks,
    Pradeep

    Hi Pradeep,
    Use ,
    Closing the Sapscript, we save data (OTF) in a table
    CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'
    TABLES
    otfdata = t_otfdata
    EXCEPTIONS
    unopened = 1
    bad_pageformat_for_print = 2
    send_error = 3
    spool_error = 4
    OTHERS = 5.
    DATA: BEGIN OF t_otfdata2 OCCURS 0.
    INCLUDE STRUCTURE solisti1.
    DATA: END OF t_otfdata2.
    Move OTF data to another table with lenght 255
    LOOP AT t_otfdata.
    CONCATENATE t_otfdata-tdprintcom t_otfdata-tdprintpar INTO t_otfdata2.
    APPEND t_otfdata2.
    ENDLOOP.
    Convert OTF format to PDF
    CALL FUNCTION 'SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF'
    EXPORTING
    format_src = 'OTF'
    format_dst = 'PDF'
    devtype = 'PRINTER'
    FUNCPARA =
    len_in = len_in
    IMPORTING
    len_out = len_out
    TABLES
    content_in = t_otfdata2
    content_out = t_pdfdata
    EXCEPTIONS
    err_conv_failed = 1
    OTHERS = 2.
    Have a look at Progs. RSTXPDF4 and RSTXPDFT2 for converting the Spool to PDF.

  • Background Submit to Spool,  convert spool to PDF send via email

    I am calling an ABAP in the background. this abap makes use of a custom table as the main driver ie on each change of vendor within this custom table I want to create a spool and email the spool - the spool is suppossed to be created via a submit RMCB0300  with screen selection to to sap-spool and return. I then want the program to take the spool convert it to PDF and email.
    Problems I am encountering:
    1. writing to the spool via background ABAP  as follows
       submit RMCB0300 with selection-table rspar
                  to sap-spool
                  spool parameters %_print
                 archive parameters %_archive
                 without spool dynpro and return.
    Doesn't appear to be creating the spool - rspar is populated.
    2. Best way to retrieve the correct spool number.
    3. how to successfully convert PDF output after CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF for email attachment - if this returns IT_PDF_OUTPUT.
    is this the best way to do it:
    Loop at IT_PDF_OUTPUT
          Translate IT_PDF_OUTPUT using ' ~'.
          concatenate gd_buffer it_pdf_output into gd_buffer
        endloop.
       translate gd_buffer using '~ '
    Do it_mess_att = gd_buffer.
         append it_mess_att.
         shift gd_buffer left by 255 places
         if gd_buffer is initial
           exit.
         endif.
    enddo.

  • Double print in one line,when convert spool to PDF

    Dear Expert:
    I have a problem to solve when convert spool to PDF,there is one line will double imaged.
    The form is created by smartforms.
    I have tryed many ways,retype the text or start a new line,all didn't works.
    So could any one tell me how to solve this problem.
    Many thanks.
    [Picture of the PDF|http://picasaweb.google.com/nika.wei/SAP#5274740000941172338]
    Edited by: Nika Wei on Dec 1, 2008 9:50 AM

    Thanks for your quick response.
    I used the program you mentioned to download spool to PDF.The download file is like the link picture.
    And the form will not overlap when I print it immediately.But it will overlap the first line when preview or convert to PDF. My user don't want to print it immediately they want to save it to PDF.
    I know maybe there is something wrong with the format, I tryed retype the text but it didn't works.

  • Hyperlink problem when converting Word to PDF

    Hi everyone.
    I am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard version 7.1.4 on a Windows 2000 environment.
    I am using Word XP/2002 SP3.
    I have a couple of problems when converting Word to PDF.
    When converting a long link which is in 2 lines, PDF just takes one line into account, not considering the whole link
    When I have hyperlinks that links to a web page, the link works fine in Word but in pdf, it gets the few words after the url address making the link not work.  For example.  I have a hyperlink that http://www.google.com/ and after this I have the words: "This is a sample text".  The hyperlink in pdf would then become http://www.google.comThisisasampletext
    Do you have any ideas how I can correct this?
    Thanks.

    To get the cross references, you have to use Convert to PDF (PDF Maker part of the Acrobat product). However, you first need to go to the print menu and set the printer to the Adobe PDF printer. Close the print menu and then do a reflow and link update of the document (ctrl-A, then F9 I think). This is needed to get the links correct since WORD reflows the document based on the printer (problem with them going to the wrong place).
    Printing to the Adobe PDF printer (the step of print to file is not needed, just print to the printer and the rest is automatic) does not include the links. PDF Maker is a PreProcessor for the Adobe PDF printer that adds PDF Marks to the PS file before it is sent to Distiller (OK, the printer when used normally creates a PS file and then invokes Distiller to complete the process - your steps did with the Adobe PDF printer is the same process done manually).
    Summary:
    1. Fix document after setting the printer to Adobe PDF.
    2. Use PDF Maker (create PDF button)

    Plz suggets
    Thanks
    Balaji

    Hi Balaji,
    I am having a similar issue with Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Thai fonts when saving spools to PDF.  Have you found any more information on why the output shows up as a blank screen?
    We are printing Purchase Orders and the T&Cs are coming through fine because they are saved as picture files but the smartform does not display at all.
    Any information would be appreciated!
    Thanks,

    I have a SmartForm invoice which is formatted perfectly when I print it using the printer options specified when I open the form. However, when I send the output to spool, convert it to PDF using FM CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, then print to the same printer, the format is not correct.
    The PDF generation feature treats the page (standard letter size, portrait) as too large and shrinks the output to fit the page. It scales the entire invoice down by about 1/4 inch, which throws off our mailing envelope.  If I change the page scaling option of Adobe Reader to 'None', my invoice is scrunched up into the top left corner of the page.
    My page format is LETTER Portrait.
    Any help or suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

  • Convert spool to pdf and send in email sometimes attachment duplicated.

    Hi all, I have a process that creates a spool, converts it to a pdf and then attaches it to an email. My problem is that sometimes, the same attachment is duplicated.
    The process seems to work fine in debug mode (the attachment changes for each loop) but when I run it in the background, every few emails, it will duplicate an attachment.
    I have noticed that the size of the pdf seems to change properly but that the content of the pdf does not match.  So, it is like it gets the correct size of the pdf but not the body.
    This is code that a consultant wrote and I am pretty new to abap/sap. I have changed some of the code because it was trying to handle an endless loop (I figured it should not have to handle (be in) an endless loop). I changed that code and it is working but this previous issue still exists. Thanks for your help.

    Thank you for your response, this has allowed me to identify the problem. It is when I create the spool by using the code below. If I add a wait after this, the program works successfully. Is there another way to write the data to create a spool within my initial program rather than doing the submit? Could it be that it is putting data in memory?
