OTF attachment in IW21

Hi Experts,
I am getting an OTF attachment to SAP inbox while executing IW21 Tcode.Is this a smartform or SAP Script?
Can I make any changes in its display?I want to send a mail along with this modified OTF format.I have written code for triggering mail using BAdi.But was unable to find this OTF form.
Can any one help me in finding this form and making necessary display changes to send it to as an attachment to the users?
Regards,
Sam

Hi K.K,
Thanx for ur inputs.
I tried above method.Eventhough I was unable to open the pdf attachment in mail.
Following is my code
Data:it_otfdata            TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF itcoo,
wa_otfdata            LIKE LINE OF it_otfdata,
V_PDF_XSTRING    TYPE        XSTRING.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
EXPORTING
format                = 'PDF'
max_linewidth         = 132
IMPORTING
bin_filesize          = bin_filesize
TABLES
otf                   = it_otfdata
lines                 = it_lines132
EXCEPTIONS
err_max_linewidth     = 1
err_format            = 2
err_conv_not_possible = 3
err_bad_otf           = 4
OTHERS                = 5.
Later I used following functions also
CALL FUNCTION 'SX_TABLE_LINE_WIDTH_CHANGE'
      TABLES
        content_in                  = it_lines132
        content_out                 = it_lines255
      EXCEPTIONS
        err_line_width_src_too_long = 1
        err_line_width_dst_too_long = 2
        err_conv_failed             = 3
        OTHERS                      = 4.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
      EXPORTING
        BUFFER     = V_PDF_XSTRING
        TABLES
        BINARY_TAB = it_otfdata.
But I am getting error message:Acrobat could not open pdf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been corrupted.
I am using following steps to send attachment through mail
document = cl_document_bcs=>create_document(
                      i_type    = 'PDF'
                      i_hex     = pdf_content
                      i_text    = text
                      i_length = '12'
                     i_subject = 'Subject').
CALL METHOD send_request->edit(
          i_hide_note     = 'X'
          i_starting_at_x = 12
          i_starting_at_y = 5
          i_ending_at_x   = 97
          i_ending_at_y   = 22 ).
call method send_request->send.

Sam

Script send as OTF attachment instead of PDF in email

Hi,
I am sending a script as email using the FM:
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM' "in background task
EXPORTING
device = 'MAIL'
form = v_script_name
language = sy-langu
mail_sender = wa_persistent_sender
mail_recipient = wa_persistent_recipient

But, the user is getting the attachment as OTF instead of PDF.
Is there is any settings to be done at system level to achieve this?
Thanks in advance.

Remittance Advice to the vendor via mail

I have to send the Remittance Advice to the vendor via mail.
I have configured a copy of the FM SAMPLE_PROCESS_00002040 with the business transaction event 2040 . The mail is successfully sent to the vendor as (OTF) attachment, but it want to send it as (PDF) format.
Can anyone help me in this?
Regards
Shahid Rais

It's there; it just may not be the same menu path or set of keystrokes. Your email node in SCOT may also be named differently in SAPConnect. Sorry, we've been off 4.6C for 1.5 years - can't remember the exact location in that version but it's the same principle. Your SAPConnect config is set to perform no conversion whereas you need to set it to convert OTF to PDF automatically.

Payment advice notification mailer

Hi SAP gurus,
We are sending out a mail to the vendors as and when their payments are getting processed through F110.
We are sending out an attachment with the mail. The attachment is an OTF attachment.
The problem is that we want to send a PDF attachment and not an OTF attachment.
Can anyone suggest how to aheive this?

Would someone be willing to give me a quick rundown of what Workflow Mailer is and what it's purpose is? I have been trying to go through the manual for it but the reading is getting very tedious for something that seems like it should be simple.
Is it possible to send the email from my process to the workflow email and have it forwarded to wherever the mailer sends to?
Any thoughts, ideas, comments are welcome.

Smartform to OTF to PDF attached to an email ERROR

Hi everyone... I have this problem... I need to send a smartform attached to an email... I'm doing the following:
- Create the OTF using the smartform function importing job_output_info.
- Convert the OTF (job_output_info-otfdata) to PDF using CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF.
- Change the table line's width using SX_TABLE_LINE_WIDTH_CHANGE.
- Send the email using SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
Everything seems to be OK. But When I check the PDF file attached in the email and open it, everything there is a mess. The letters are superimposed over each other and the grills are not painted (instead it shows a black block).
Any ideas how to solve this???
Thanks a lot!!!

It looks to me an issue with missing authorization.

Smartform (otf) as pdf and sending as email-attachment

Hello everybody,
when trying to convert a smartform to pdf and sending it with the FM 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1' i get an error when opening the pdf-file. It says ' a non identified Token w62.10 was found' and the pdf is all empty.
The problem seems to be somewhere between getting the pdf output data from the FM 'convert_otf' and trying to create a bin-object for the attachment.
Here is the code:

Retrieve mail pdf attachment in xstrinf or otf format.

Hi,
as in the Subjesct I must retrieve from mail the attachments that are in pdf format and convert then in xstring or otf format, then archive the documents in DMS server.
It's possible?
Thanks for answers.

Hi,
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

      tables
         otf                         = itab

         others                      = 5
if sy-subrc EQ 0.
    response->set_header_field( name = 'content-type'
                                value = 'application/pdf' ).

                         value = 'attachment; filename=test.pdf' ).
    l_pdf_len = xstrlen( l_pdf_xstring ).
    response->set_data( data   = l_pdf_xstring
                        length = l_pdf_len ).

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..

Hope this helps.

When sending email PO in a PDF attachment, the attachment can not be openen

Hi all,
We are trying to send an email with the PO in PDF format. We got the email but the attachment can not be opened.
Error reads: Adobe could not open test.pdf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example , it was send as a email attachemnet and was not correctly decoded).
Could any body bring some light?   We know that everything in SCOT is fine because we can email the PO through configuration to the vendor without problem. It is just these extra copies that do not work.
a) We are modifying our custom Print program to add the code below after closing the form.
in few words:
a) We are getting the OTF from closing the form.
b) Converting the OTF to PDF
c) Sending the PDF as attachment.

Dear Monica,
You need to configure the system with respect to functional point of view and need to write the following code in print program. i have done this and solution is as follows.
<b> Reward me for this solution.</b>
Process 11 (MM)     Sending RFQs and POs to vendors directly from the system instead of sending thru Courier or Fax
Existing Process (AS-IS)     Presently system is not supporting this requirement
Business Requirements     RFQs to be linked with vendor master with e-mail to send enquiries directly through system instead of courier/fax. Vice versa P.Os. Specifications, drawings should also go to vendor along with mail.
To-Be
Configuration Settings:
1) Spro Materials management Purchasing Messages Output control Message types Define message types for RFQ/ PO
     Created ZEK1,ZMI and ZEK2 for RFQs
     Created ZIK,ZOC,ZOK,ZOM,ZSI, ZSK2 and ZSM for Pos
     The above New output types Included with existing Print Forms and Programs but modified with External send(5) medium, and added companys letter head thru ABAP developments (details provided below)
     The above new output types also maintained for Fine- tuned control (thru same navigation) for New(1) and Change(2) operations
      2) Spro Materials management Purchasing Messages Output control Message   determination schemas Define message schema for RFQ/ PO
     Maintained the new output types in the control data
3)     Maintain Condition records for the New out put types (copied same document types from the existing old output types)
Easy access Logistics Materials management Purchasing Master data Messages MN01 (for RFQs)/ MN04 (for Pos)
4)     Maintain Email id of Vendor in Vendor master.
Developments (ABAP):
1) Copied the existing print programs and forms of the corresponding out types.
2) Addition of header window in each corresponding form (HEADER window). Uploaded the HEADER3 graphics in the header window.
INCLUDE HEADER3 OBJECT GRAPHICS ID BCOL LANGUAGE EN
3) Added the the following code in TOP includes
                   TYPE-POOLs szadr.
           INCLUDE: LMEDRUCKF09.

8)     Attaching the new print program and form in NACE transaction.
Steps for End user:
1)     Creating the Purchase Order or RFQ with suitable document type through ME21N or ME41 .
2)     Executing the transaction ME9F and in selecting the suitable output type.
3)     Executing the transaction ZSEND_PDOC using INT as input.
4) With above steps we can able to send purchase order or RFQ to vendor as an attachment through e-mail in PDF format.
