Sending smartform output as PDF attachment, Error opening PDF attachment

Question

Hi Experts,
I am using the code form the following link to send a smartform output as PDF attachment. I can able to see the message, but can not open PDF document.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/snippets/convertSmartformtoPDFformat&
The information should be on my smartform are some text, company logo and a barcode.
With all of these received error: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
I tried different ways like only text, text with company logo, text with barcode. I got the following errors:
An unrecognized token 'Td0' was found
There was problem reading this document(16).
There was problem reading this document(111).
Does anyone have idea of these ? Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Surya
