Converting Smartform spool to PDF results in loss of formatting

A smart form contains texts which is printed in bold.
This is clearly visible in both the preveiw and the prionout.
When we convert the output of a smartform into a PDF form the bold text is converted into a normal text for that font.
We are using a custom ZARIAL font in the smartstyle, and cannot tell if it is this Z font which the PDF conversion cannot support or if there is some setting which needs to be tweaked.
Kindly advice.

Hi
ZARIAL font which you have created in the smartstyle and used in the smartform is no supporting while converting from OTF TO PDF.

Convert HTML-Spool to PDF

Hi experts,
I'm looking for a possibility to conbvert a Spool-request to PDF fomrat.
Following situation:
I have a Web Dynpro that creates a page with a few material details. I can now export this to Excel, but now the requeiremt is also to convert it to PDF.
We don't have ADS, so I can't use Adobe forms. First, I tried to create a Smartform and convert this to PDF which will work. But I have also a few pictures included which come from a Web Service (as JPG). After searchin a while I found a possibilty to convert them to TIF and insert them in SE78 automatically. But this takes to much time and as a result of insert them to SE78, the colors will change (only 256 colors).
Next idea was to generate a HTML-Mail out of my Smartform (regaring this blog /people/pavan.bayyapu/blog/2005/08/30/sending-html-email-from-sap-crmerp) what works perfectly now.
So now I have a Spool in SOST which contains a HTML file. OK, looks great, all pictures are included, takes not much time - but how to convert this to PDF?
Anybody any ideas?

Hi experts,
after searching the whole forum and internet, I don't find any solution.
Maybe the convertion from Spool to PDF is not possible...
OK, another idea:
I read that the wrong colors result from the different color depth (16/24 bit vs 256 colors). So my last idea is to convert the image before inserting into BDS (SE78), automatically done by SAP.
Is there any function/coding you know which can convert me a image from 24bit to 256 colors? If so, I can convert the image and then insert into BDS...

Convert ABAP Spool to PDF and display in BSP

Hello SDNers,
I have a requirement to display an R/3 report in Portal as PDF. I have chosen the route of creating a BSP which will show the report as PDF.
I will then create a BSP iView in Portal pointing to this application.
I am following the weblog /people/sap.user72/blog/2004/11/10/bsphowto-generate-pdf-output-from-a-bsp
and few SDN forums:
Display result of standard report RPTEDT00 within BSP
Re: PDF Output
I am new to BSP development and I am not able to put all the pieces of code together.
I would really appreciate if you can help me put the pieces together and help me out with this.
More details:
This custom report displays the summary of Benefits Cost Accounting (by PERNR and current year).
Once the report is run, I would like to get hold of the spool and convert the spool to PDF.
In my BSP I would like to get the spool (or the binary of the PDF) and display the report as PDF in the BSP application.
I have created the BSP application using the code given in the above weblog.
I am not sure how to proceed further with the requirement.
Looking forward for your suggestions and help.
Thanks,
Kalyan

Convert SMARTFORM report to PDF and send as an email attachment

Hi
I am using the CONVERT_OTF function module to convert a SMARTFORM report in the "spool" to a PDF file. When I use the DOWNLOAD function module, the resulting file can be opened in acrobat.
I would like to email the report in PDF format as an attachment. I am using the function module SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 to create an attachment however the attached file is not being created correctly and When try to open, it gives 'File is damaged and could not be repaired' error message. I believe that somehow I am not using the SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 function module correctly.
Please help me to correct this
Thanks

Converting smartforms output into PDF

Hi ALL,
How to convert the smartforms output into PDF based form. After executing the form, it should directly open in PDF. How to do this?
Points will be awarded.
Thanks and regards,
vinoth.

Hi Vinoth Kumar,
Please go throuh the below procedure and sample Code, this might help you.
Procedure
When we activate the Smartform the system generates a Function Module. The function module name we can get from Smartfrom screen from menubar
Environment => Function Module_Name . In a report we can get this Function module name by calling a Function Module standard SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME. This function module at runtime calls the FM generated by smartform, which in turn is then used to pass data from the report to Smartform. In the report given below the FM generated is /1BCDWB/SF00000152 . In this FM we can see CONTROL_PARAMETERS in import tab. This is of type SSFCTRLOP. We need to set the GETOTF of this to be X. Setting this field will activate the OTF field in smartform.
In export tab of the FM generated by smartform we can see a parameter JOB_OUTPUT_INFO which is of type SSFCRESCL. The SSFCRESCL is a structure of having one of fields as OTFDATA. OTFDATA in turn is a table of type ITCOO. ITCOO has two fields TDPRINTCOM and TDPRINTPAR. TDPRINTCOM represents command line of OTF format data and TDPRINTPAR contains command parameters of OTF format data.
In every Smartform output in OTF format, TDPRINTCOM begins and ends with //. EP represents the end-of-page value for TDPRINTCOM field.
In addition we need to set few fields at the place where we call this FM(generated by smartform) in our program. While calling this FM we should set control_parameters, output_options, user_settings and job_putput_info fields as shown in program.
Once these settings are done we can call Function Module CONVERT_OTF to convert the OTF data of smartfrom output to PDF data format. Once these are done we can call method cl_gui_fronted_services=>file_save_dialog to specify the directory path where we want to save the output PDF file. After this we can call Function Module GUI_DOWNLOAD to download the PDF file on our local system.
Here is a sample code of program to perform the function.

Hi :
I'd like convert spool list to pdf and sending file...
so, I read thread about spool convert to PDF before,
and know how to convert Spool to PDF file and send mail with attach file.
but I have a problem.
my solution as:
step 1. Call function: "CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF"
step 2. Call function: "SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1"
then, I got a mail with attached PDF file, but the PDF file display limited 255 line.( SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 limited)
I want to showing word is wider that 255.
and then I find a manual method as:
After program finished.
Function Menu -> system -> List -> Send
use Prog: "Create Document and Send"
I use this prog sending mail and attached file ,
PDF file do <b>NOT</b> have 255 word limit !

Archive pdf (table) (converted from spool to pdf(table))

Hi friends
I've used CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to convert a spool-request to pdf.
That pdf (table) I now want to archive.
Normally I use FM archivobject_create_synchron when archiving OTF-images from a specific path.
But now I do not have a path to the file - instead I have a pdf (table) that I want to archive...
Do you have any suggestions how to handle this?
br
Henrik

you need to use the following fms
- ARCHIVE_NEW_OBJECT
- ARCHIVE_PUT_TABLE
- ARCHIVE_SAVE_OBJECT
- ARCHIVE_WRITE_STATISTICS
- ARCHIVE_CLOSE_FILE
and also check SBOOK* programs
