PDF to Zip conversion

Quick overview of requirement:
Create dynamic variants and submit background job which in turns call Samarforms to create OTF spools. Once all the jobs are completed, read spool file(s) and convert them to PDF. The next step is to add these PDF files to a zip file and the last step is to download the zip file.
Progress:
Created dynamic variants using: RS_VARIANT* function modules. Created jobs using JOB_* function modules. Read the spool file from TBTCP table. Converted to PDF using u201CCONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDFu201D (Online conversion).
Now this is where I am stucku2026 If I download the PDF file to my local PC and then upload it back again then it worksu2026 Once I upload the downloaded PDF file I use function module u201CSCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRINGu201D and add it to zip file using ABAP class cl_abap_zip. Then I use FM SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY to get the data in table format which I can download using gui_download.
Question:
Once I call the FM u201CCONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDFu201D, how do I covert the contents of the PDF output to something that can be sent to cl_abap_zip for zipping? Since this program will be running in background and will have lots of data I cannot use the UPLOAD - DOWNLOAD. I am stuck now... any help is greatly appriciated.
Thanks
Sunil

  • In PDF to Excel conversion dates like 03/12/15 convert to Dec 3rd 2015 not the correct date of Mar 12th 2015 whereas date 03/13/2015 converts correctly as March 13th 2015

    In PDF to Excel conversion dates like 03/12/15 convert to Dec 3rd 2015 not the correct date of Mar 12th 2015 whereas date 03/13/2015 converts correctly as March 13th 2015

    Hi DirTech,
    Are both of these dates in the same Excel file? If they're in different files, are you choosing the same language for OCR (optical character recognition)?
    If they are in the same PDF file, how was that PDF file created? Was it created from a third-party application (rather than an Adobe application)? If it was created by a third-party application, it could be that it wasn't written to spec, and that's why you're seeing some oddities in the PDF > Excel conversion.  (See Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community.)

  • The Refiner Result type: When refine by result type: PDF or Zip sometimes files which are images are shown (not pdf or zip)

    Hi,
    We use Search Refiners and there is a strange problem: when we refine by the Refiner Result type: Zip and PDF we also get files which are gif files.
    keren tsur

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you get the gif files sometimes when you refiner the Result Type PDF or ZIP.
    I try to do this test in my environment, however, the result is I get the corresponding PDF file and don’t get the gif files by Refiner the PDF Result Type in Search Center.
    Do you get all gif files by the Refiner Result Type: PDF or ZIP in Search Center?
    And, do you see these gif files under the Refiner Result Type: Image?
    I recommend that you can try to respectively type the “PDF”, “ZIP” and “gif” in search box to compare the search results.
    Also, you can try to go to SharePoint 2013 Central Administration, click “Search Service Application” in “Manage service application”, click the “Index Reset” to reset all crawled content, then start Full Crawl again.

  • I am trying to export the PDF file and conversion fails every time.

    I am trying to export the PDF file and conversion fails every time. File is too large of too complex. What do I do? One file is about 55 mb and the other is 58 mb.

    Try extracting part of the file and see if the extracted part can be Exported. If so, repeat with the next set of pages. When done, try to load all into the first file.

  • I bought 2 hrs ago pdf to Office conversion access. It is so horrible, I need to cancel subscription right now

    I bought 2 hrs ago pdf to Office conversion access. It is so horrible, I need to cancel subscription right now
    the website is so bad that it goes around in a circle- & you cannot access a place where you click & it is done. Nope.. If I cannot cancel it tonight, I will have to call the c/c  to force the issue. I wasted my evening on this silly thing....
    Pl call 818 523 8735 now.

    Dear Sir:
    I think you do not seem to understand: this link you provide is TOTALLY
    BOGUS & FRAUDULENT!
    This is precisely the point of my email.
    If I go there, & YOU CLICK SOME indeterminate options..& it opens another
    tab & it is exactly the same as the one you came from. & on it goes.
    Adobe shoul know better!
    Unless, you are pulling off another AOL thing of the '90s.
    I am going to call the credit company & report it as fraudulently charged.
    See if that works.

  • Mail Distorts & Corrupts Files (images, PDF's .zips)

    Hello,
    I constantly send images, PDF's, .zip files using Mac Mail and the receiving party usually reports that the images are distorted, PDF's cannot be opened and .Zip files are corrupt. What can I do?

    firstly - is the receiving party using a mac or windows box?
    If windows - are you checking the "send windows friendly attachments" box?.
    You can make this the default setting in Mail - Edit - Attachments - always send windows friendly attachments. There should be a check mark next to it.
    If another mac user - are they using apple's Mail app, or some other one?
    If you send an email to yourself - do the images/pdf's/zips come through as normal?

  • PPT action buttons are not present in pdf file upon conversion

    Hi
    Am using Office 2003 (SP3) and Acrobat 8 (version 8.1.6).
    Have been using action buttons in the presentations for several years, works fine.
    When converting existing files, action buttons in both PPT show and pdf file just works, no problems.
    Newly generated presentations work fine as PPT show. But when converted to pdf file, the action buttons are simply missing.
    Have verified that all action buttons are "at front", same result.
    Have tried to avoid corporate templates by creating a blank presentation and building a small and simple navigating presentation. Again, works fine as PPT show. And again, upon conversion there are no action buttons present in the pdf file.Corporate changes thereby should be ruled out.
    Have checked all settings (including "Adobe PDF, Change Conversion Settings") between a working and a non-working PPT file, can't identify any differences.
    A colleague helped out (using Acrobat 6), same result. But upon activation of "Adobe PDF, Change Conversion Settings, Restore Defaults", the action buttons worked for him. Tried it with Adobe 8, no such luck.
    Have trialed the "Prep 4 PDF" tool, then the PDF file is complete and the "go to slide" keys appear and work again.
    All new updates available are installed, anyone experienced the same and found a fix for this trouble?

    Have tried both ways, same result.
    When working with new presentations, the pdf file is viewable, but the action buttons are not present.
    When working with past presentations, the action buttons are present and do work as expected.

  • Maintaining Links in a PDF to Word Conversion

    Is it possible to convert a PDF to Word using Acroabt X Pro so that all of the links in the PDF will work in the Word file?  The PDF was created from FrameMaker 9 files and contains many internal cross references. When I perform the conversion, the layout of the Word file looks great, but none of the links work.

  • PDF to InDesign Conversion?

    Has anyone had success converting PDF files to InDesign? tested PDF2ID but formatting gets lost..

    Formatting, or styles?
    PDF is a final output file format and doesn't retain style information, but the formatting applied to the type should remain. Since there is no style information in the PDF, all the text should, I think, be styled with no paragraph style or possibly [Basic Paragraph] and have local formatting overrides applied after conversion. That's the best you can hope for with what's currently available.
