Download report to PDF at Output

Question

Hi SDN's,
I am having a report which shows a output. Now my requirement is i need to download the Output of the Report as a PDF.
I would need to place a button on the appl tool bar, clicking on which should throw a popup of File Select Dialog.
Upon giving the filename, the output should be downloaded to the filepath mentioned.
I have already achieved the placing of button on the appl tool bar.
But my Question is how to show a popup of giving a File Select Dialog upon clicking the button.
And now Function module : CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF is used to convert to PDF. Is this right?
Is my approcah correct. Please suggest me if i am wroing at any point.
Regards
