Appraisal document download in PDF.

Question

Hi All,
  Current process:  User execute the transaction PHAP_SEARCH_PA with the input PERNR and for each document they will generate a spool via print option. They will take the spool number and using std prog they will download as a pdf file.
Expected Process: They want to eliminate the manual process and want to download the appraisal documnets for list of employee.
Issue: I have tried to do BDC for PHAP_SEARCH_PA and its not working, since the transaction display the reports in ALV and bdc doesn't records the ALV screen.
Is there any transaction or FM to download the appraisal documents, any other input?
Your help most appreciated.
Regards,
Alexander.

change the following code
from
data: output type string .
loop at result into ls_line.
CONCATENATE
r_string
ls_line-tdline
INTO r_string.
endloop.
to
loop at result into ls_line.
  TRANSLATE ls_line USING ' ~'.
CONCATENATE r_string ls_line INTO r_string IN CHARACTER MODE.
endloop.
now use r_string to convert to xstring
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'
      EXPORTING
        text   = r_string
      IMPORTING
        buffer = r_xstring.
