Downloading converted PDF file - output is truncated

Question

Hi -
My requirement is to convert an SAP spool to a PDF file and download it to the presentation server. It is working, however, when I open the PDF file, the output is truncated such that only 132 characters of each line are being displayed (instead of the desired 255). Any ideas? Thanks.

James,
The PDF the table parameter of function module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF have a data element TLINE which have length of 132, so you need to do something this way
  data : begin of out occurs 0.
       include structure solisti1.
  data : end of out.
  call function 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'
    exporting
      src_spoolid = spoolid
      no_dialog   = 'X'
    tables
      pdf         = pdf_table
    exceptions
      others      = 0.
  clear: pos,
         out,
         len.
  loop at pdf_table.
    pos = 255 - len.
    if pos > 134.    "length of pdf_table
      pos = 134.
    endif.
    out+len = pdf_table(pos).
    len = len + pos.
    if len = 255.    "length of out (contents_bin)
      append out.
      clear: out, len.
      if pos < 134.
        out = pdf_table+pos.
        len = 134 - pos.
      endif.
    endif.
  endloop.
  if len > 0.
    append out.
  endif.
