Convertion of Smart form to pdf and sending mail to vendor for PO

Question

Hello all,
I have modified a standard PO Smartform and running it through ME23N.
In this i have to convert it to a pdf file and then send it through mail to the vendor.
I have found out FMs'CONVERT_OTF'and
'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'
to convert it and send mail. But can u tell me how to go about using it.
As i am using a standard program do i have to copy this prog to zprog and then call the fm out there. I am not sure.
Thanks
Salil
