Reg : Converting a report list to OTF format.

Question

Hi Folks,
    Is there any function module which converts spool of (report)  list type to OTF type? As we need to merge multiple spools (list types) into single PDF file. We have
1) RSPO_RETURN_SPOOLJOB,
2) CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF
which can merge multiple spools  into single PDF file, but these function modules accepts only spools of OTF format.
Any help will be rewarded.....

Hi ,
See this code , this gets smartform output pages into the jobinfo document "ls_job_info' , then converts it into OTF format and then PDF. See if this can  give u some idea.
