No Data in PDF file in FTP server

Question

Hi All,
I am trying to place a PDF file in FTP server.
Used
CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to convert spool to PDF
SCMS_TEXT_TO_XSTRING
FTP_R3_TO_SERVER to transfer data to FTP.
I am able to see PDF file in FTP and no of pages matches with that of R/3 but there is no data in PDF file.

Answer 1

To get pdf file , you need to set the itcpo-tdgetotf = 'X' and need to pass in the exporting parameter (options in open_form  function module ).Then in close_form function module take all the data of otfdata table into an internal table . Then use SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF function module to convert it to pdf.
I will show with an  example.
tables itcpo.
DATA: ch_otf  TYPE  STANDARD  TABLE OF  itcoo.
DATA: w_otf TYPE itcoo.
DATA: w_pdf TYPE solisti1. "For PDF
DATA: i_content_txt TYPE soli_tab.   
DATA: temp1 TYPE sx_format VALUE 'OTF',
        temp2 TYPE sx_format VALUE 'PDF'.
  DATA: c_printer TYPE sx_devtype VALUE 'PRINTER'.
  DATA: w_transfer_bin TYPE sx_boolean. "Content
  DATA: i_content_bin TYPE solix_tab, "Content
        wa_content_bin TYPE solix,
        i_objhead TYPE soli_tab.
itcpo-tdnoprint  = 'X'.
  itcpo-tdpreview = 'X'.
  itcpo-tdgetotf = 'X'.
These three parameters need to be passed along with other required parameters
  CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
       EXPORTING form = xformular
                 language = ekko-spras
                 OPTIONS = itcpo
                 archive_index  = toa_dara
                 archive_params = arc_params
                 device = xdevice
                 dialog = xdialog
                 mail_sender        = sender
                 mail_recipient     = recipient
       EXCEPTIONS canceled = 01.
  CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'
    IMPORTING
      RESULT  = RESULT
    tables
      otfdata = ch_otf.
LOOP AT ch_otf INTO w_otf.
    CONCATENATE w_otf-tdprintcom w_otf-tdprintpar
    INTO w_pdf.
    APPEND w_pdf TO i_content_txt.
  ENDLOOP.
converting otf file to pdf file
  CALL FUNCTION 'SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF'
    EXPORTING
      format_src      = temp1        "'OTF'
      format_dst      = temp2        "'PDF'
      devtype         = c_printer
    CHANGING
      transfer_bin    = w_transfer_bin
      content_txt     = i_content_txt
      content_bin     = i_content_bin
      objhead         = i_objhead
      len             = v_len_in
    EXCEPTIONS
      err_conv_failed = 1
      OTHERS          = 2.
Then open dataset and transfer to ftp of the content of table content_bin(i_content_bin) as shown in above example.
I think this will be helpful for you
