Hi Sundher,
Hey configure a scenario like this File -> XI -> Mail. In this, u pick up the fiile using file adapter and send it to XI. For sending the files as an attachment, provide the MessageTransformationBean in the receiver mail adapter and pass the parameter 'ContentDispostion' with its value set as attchment.
For more details u can check the following link

Hi Nislina,
Could you please let me know how do you solve this issue.
Code:

           exporting
             i_attachment_type      = 'PDF'

PDF File in Mail-Step Attachment using SOFM is corrupted

Hi,
i have a Problem while sending a PDF by unsing a SOFM Object for attachment in workflow. I tried my own implementation
and a copy of this [SOFM instance for attaching--urgent]
I both cases the Workflow sends a mail successfully. There is also an attachment in mail a PDF File! My Problem is: When I try to open it using the Acrobat Reader it is telling me the file were corrupted ....
What can I do any suggestions ?
P.S.: After converting Spooljob to Bin Stream i tried to download the file by using function module "GUI_Download" and this works so i think there is a problem in the sofm part ...
Please help me
regards
Matthias

Hey,
for the ones who are interested in my solution:
The SAP Function Module SWL_SOFM_CREATE_WITH_TABLE calculates the wrong Bytecount. 160 Bytes where missing so the acrobat reader can't read.

Mail PDF attachment is not visible

I have just owned a new iPad 4th generation and using it with full energy.
I have a query and if anyone can guide me.
I have configured Gmail in the Mail of my iPad. Now when I am getting an e-bill from Airtel India for payment, the attached PDF bill copy is not there in the mail.
Is it that I have to change any settings, please advice.
Thanks and Regards.

You should see a paper clip icon next to the senders name in the preview window if there is an attachment in the email. If you do see the icon but can't see the PDF, quit mail, reboot and look again.
From your home screen. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the mail app icon. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

In SAP we execute function SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF which generates binary context for a PDF document.
Or check the below code
data: l_pdf_xstring type xstring,
        lt_lines       type table of tline,
        ls_line        type tline,
        l_pdf_len      type i,
        itab           type TSFOTF,
        witab          type ITCOO,
        tmp_line       type STRING,
        tmp_header     type STRING.
tmp_header = 'BSP to PDF'.
tmp_line = file_content.
CONCATENATE
    tmp_header
    tmp_line
INTO tmp_line IN CHARACTER MODE.
APPEND tmp_line TO itab.
call function 'CONVERT_OTF'
       exporting
         format                      = 'PDF'
       importing

Send sales order as mail - pdf attachement - print data

hi folk,
When receiving a Sales Order as PDF document, the name of the document is called "Print data.PDF".
Is it possible to change this name to e.g. sales order number or something else.
Best regards
Ling

hi,
when I'am receiving the sales order as PDF file the "Subject" of the mail is shown the e.g. sales order number retrieved from the output communication method --> Cover page text --> "Sales order &XNAST-KSCHL&.
But my question is, how I can change the name of the PDF file which is now called "Print data.PDF" .
Best regards.
Ling

Touchpad mail pdf attachment won't open

regular pdf downloads open ok but when attached to an e-mail an error pops up "can't read mime types". Any idea how I can make this work?
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

Right-click on your attached PDF. Select Quick Look Attachment. This opens the PDF with Quick Look in another window. You can scroll your PDF or jump to individual page icons.
Otherwise, the in-place, attachment scroll is history.

Mail pdf attachment is showing/printing in black and white only

PDF attachments with color in content are now only appearing and printing in black and white. Is this a setting somewhere?

I have the same problem here. A PDF file created in Illustrator and sent to my client via email. I can see the color on my iPhone and on an iPad but under Lion (10.8.3) it displays in black and white. I was going to look at prior versions of the OSX and see that you are running 10.6? and are getting the same thing. I have received other PDF files with color and no problem. I am wondering if it an Illustrator and OSX problem. More to come.

Chinese characters merging in Mail PDF attachment

Hi, I am coverting the ouput of transaction S_ALR_87012976 for a change number into PDF and sending through mail. This is OK for all languages but for Chinese I can see the characters properly but lower row characters are merging with upper row characters. Means I can see the chinese caracters but the missing the format or very few times I am gettin # as chinese characters. I am doing the below things to do this job, suggest me if I am wrong any where.
Creating the spool with the report output using SUBMIT program
SUBMIT rcc00130 WITH SELECTION-TABLE zscreen TO SAP-SPOOL
                        SPOOL PARAMETERS g_print_parameters
                        WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO
                        VIA JOB g_name NUMBER g_number
                        AND RETURN.
I am converting the spool to PDF using FM 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF' then for 255 character allignment I am using below FM
    CALL FUNCTION 'SX_TABLE_LINE_WIDTH_CHANGE'
      EXPORTING
        line_width_src              = '134'
        line_width_dst              = '255'
      TABLES
        content_in                  = i_pdf[]
        content_out                 = it_mess_att[]
Then using FM 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1' I am sending the mail.
    CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'
      EXPORTING
        document_data              = s_doc_data
        put_in_outbox              = 'X'
        commit_work                = 'X'
      TABLES
        packing_list               = i_objpack
        contents_txt               = i_objtxt
        contents_bin               = it_mess_att
        receivers                  = i_reclist

Hi Avinash,
Thanks for the reply. In my system (ECC 6.0) I am not seeing the devicetype as you mentioned but I passed one of chinese device type ZHANWIN in print parameters of SUBMIT for creating spool but issue not resolved. Is there any other way??

Pdf file gets huge when attached to an e-mail

A very strange problem. Yesterday, I received an e-mail with a pdf attachment that was 10MB. When I saved the attachement to a fold, it became 9.6kb. I created a new e-mail and attched the smaller saved version of the pdf. It showed as 10MB in the e-mail. The same thing happened to another e-mail pdf attachment that I received this morning. I even inserted an older pdf file from my computer into a new e-mail. Same thing. This is making it very difficult to send e-mails with pdf attachment, as they are too large for some to receive. the sender of the original e-mail is also seeing it in the sent e-mail as 10 MB.
I have windows XP Professional Version 2002 SP 3; Acrobat reader 9.3

First of all: what e-mail client are you using?
Do you use Adobe Reader to send the PDF file, or you simply attach the PDF to a message you are composing? That message, what format is it - plain text, HTML, RTF?
Anyway, I have a very hard time to understand how a file of 9.6KB can show up more than a 1000 times larger (10MB) as a PDF attachment! Does your e-mail client give the exact size of the attachment, additionally to the total size of the message?

How to attach files to mail

When I attach files to mails (.pdf, .jpg, .docx etc.), they arrive in Windows Outlook embedded. My mail settings are "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" and "Always Insert Attachments at End of Message".
I know how to open these attachments in Windows Outlook but my recipients do not. To suggest that they learn how to, as I have seen in some places, is arrogant. If I apply for a job by email and attach my resume with instructions on how to open it will reduce my chances of getting that job close to zero.
How can I attach files that will be received as files and can be opened by the MS Windows recipient with left mouse clicks?

Another way to send files to others is to use Dropbox.
In your email you don't attach the file, but rather include a link that you reciepeints then use to download the file.
I use this method for particularly large files, but it can be used for any file.

FILE- EMAIL with pdf as an attachment and message body.

I have a scenario where FILE to EMAIL with PDF as an attachment; I also need to send to have Email body with some text. For this i have tried using Mail Package then i wont be receiving any attachment. If I use both Mail package + Keep attachments i do not see any attachments in mail.
Let me know the possible ways that can used in the current scenario where i need to send pdf attachment along with messsage body.
Thanks in advance,
nik

Hi Nik
To get the customized email body you need to use the Mail package. Keep attachments tab should be selected
Now sending PDF attachment - Do you need to send data passed by File adapter as pdf attachment or File adapter is reading message other than this attachment.
Case 1. File adapter send message that you need to send as email attachment. Then using mail package use
<content_type>application/pdf</content_type>
you can even add name of the file going as an attachment.
<content_type>application/pdf;name="filename.pdf"</content_type>
Secondly you can use the MessageTransformBean at communication channel as an additional standard module.
Case2: You need to pick file from file adapter as attachment. that is possible only when you use NFS with this file you read as source and attachment has be of same name type eg: you read input.txt then attachment has to be input.pdf

Hi,
is the next part of the code correct.
What i mean is packing of the attachment, finding out the size of pdf file and doc type as PDF.
You can also try below link..
