    Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipat
    exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:

Hi,
     I will tell you the steps to follow. Check if you have done it in the same way.
1. Call the FM for smartforms. The imoirting parameters should contain t_otf_from_fm of the TYPE ssfcrescl ( you have used a diff declaration i guess).
2. Move this work are into an internal table say IT_1 of type itcoo .
3. Call the FM " CONVERT_OTF ", by passing the parameters as
       format                = 'PDF'
      max_linewidth         = 132
              IMPORTING
      bin_filesize          = w_bin_filesize
    TABLES
      otf                   = t_otf
      lines                 = t_pdf_tab
4. You could then call the method CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_save_dialog to save this PDF to your desktop
Let me know if you have followed this.
Cheers
