Convert spool to OTF format

Hi All,
My requirement:
I have a report which generates PDF format for all the employees provided on the selection screen ,for this i used the FM :
call function 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'
    exporting
      src_spoolid = max_spool
      no_dialog = space
      dst_device = mstr_print_parms-pdest
    importing
      pdf_bytecount                  = mi_bytecount
    tables
      pdf        = mtab_pdf
    exceptions
      err_no_abap_spooljob           = 1
      err_no_spooljob                = 2
      err_no_permission              = 3
      err_conv_not_possible          = 4
      err_bad_destdevice             = 5
      user_cancelled                 = 6
      err_spoolerror                 = 7
      err_temseerror                 = 8
      err_btcjob_open_failed         = 9
      err_btcjob_submit_failed       = 10
      err_btcjob_close_failed        = 11
      others     = 12.
Now i want to create an RFC function module which has to generate PDF binary data using the PDF generation report .
The process which i am following is :
.       Creating RFC function module with the import parameter u2018PERNRu2019
·         call this report YREPORT inside the RFC using the PERNR and receive the OTF data from report using buffer.
·         Then convert the OTF data into PDF lines using the function module u2018CONVERT_OTFu2019
·         And then convert the PDF lines in to PDF binary data.
Please suggest how to get OTF data format from report using buffer .Please provide any FM for this & also provide PDF lines into PDF binary data
Regards,
Bharat

what below code does is:
1: it creates a job hence spool is generated.
2: it call a ADOBE form hence PDF object is generated . (which you may not need)
3: it converts PDF to SOLIX or binary PDF for sending as an mail attachment.
CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
    CHANGING
      ie_outputparams = wa_outputparams
    EXCEPTIONS
      cancel          = 0

      OTHERS          = 0.

Reg : Converting a report list to OTF format.

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

Any help will be rewarded.....

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.

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,

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.

Please send me a Model program or step by step approach of the same.
Useful inputs will be rewarded higher points.
Thanks in Advance,

Hi,
The steps are given below:-
1) First get the name of your generated function module for the smartforms.
2) Then call the generated function module.
3) Then use the FM:CONVERT_OTF' to convert into PDF as shown below:-
call function 'CONVERT_OTF'
    EXPORTING
      format                = 'PDF'
    IMPORTING
      bin_filesize          = w_pdf_len

    TABLES
      OTF                   = OUTPUT_DATA-OTFDATA

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

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.
Shiv

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.
