R/3 spool on pdf file

Hi forum,
is it possibile in R/3 to generate a pdf file for each spool into a particular file system ? I would to create a pdf file in directory for each delivery spool output.
Regards.
Ganimede Dignan.

Hi,
Actually for manual PDF file generation there is a program called RSTXPDFT2. You need to make an ABAP program to make it "automatic" conversion for particular spools. Technically, if you need it for every spool, then we need to little workaround:
1. Install SAPGUI to a PC, to have SAPLPD on it installed in the correct way.
2. Create a printer on the PC and the result should be a PDF file. It is something like "print to PDF file". You may need a third party program.
3. Create a printer type 'U' on SAP, pointing to the PC host and the "print to PDF file" printer.
4. The spools that need to be converted to PDF should have this output device as the destination.
Bare in mind that SAPLPD on the PC host must be active.

Agoes

Convert Screen(spool) to PDF file sending mail with attach file

Hi :
I'd like convert spool list to pdf and sending file...
so, I read thread about spool convert to PDF before,
and know how to convert Spool to PDF file and send mail with attach file.
but I have a problem.
my solution as:
step 1. Call function: "CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF"
step 2. Call function: "SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1"
then, I got a mail with attached PDF file, but the PDF file display limited 255 line.( SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 limited)
I want to showing word is wider that 255.
and then I find a manual method as:
After program finished.
Function Menu -> system -> List -> Send
use Prog: "Create Document and Send"
I use this prog sending mail and attached file ,
PDF file do NOT have 255 word limit !
finally. my question is, If I want sending mail as Prog: "Create Document and Send", how to do?
which Function I have to use?...
Please help me, Thanks!

Spool to PDF file

I have sevaral spools and I need to transform them to one PDF. is it possible to put all the spool and to create only one ''big spool'' and then transform it to pdf (or to have several pdf files and concatenate them to one pdf file).
Benjamin

Hi,
You can convert the SPOOL to PDF using the beelow function module
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'
       EXPORTING
            src_spoolid              = gd_spool_nr
            no_dialog                = c_no
            dst_device               = c_device
       IMPORTING
            pdf_bytecount            = gd_bytecount
       TABLES
            pdf                      = it_pdf_output
       EXCEPTIONS
            err_no_abap_spooljob     = 1
            err_no_spooljob          = 2
            err_no_permission        = 3
            err_conv_not_possible    = 4
            err_bad_destdevice       = 5
            user_cancelled           = 6
            err_spoolerror           = 7
            err_temseerror           = 8
            err_btcjob_open_failed   = 9
            err_btcjob_submit_failed = 10
            err_btcjob_close_failed = 11
            OTHERS                   = 12.
So,lets say you want 3 spools in a single PDF,
DO 3 TIMES.
Call the function module and create an internal table, in another internal table append the data. do like this in 3 times.
ENDDO.
After the END DO , you will get all the data in a Single PDF.

Problem in converting Spool to PDF file, having non-English characters

Hi All,
I have problem in converting Spool to PDF format.
Scenario : I have a spool which has non-English characters. I am using CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF FM to perform conversion. But my output is having junk values( ie # ) for non-English characters. Any pointers to solve this issue will be appreciated.
I even tried with report RSTXPDFT4 , it also gives me the same junk characters.

The problem with the FM 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF' is when my spool have more than 99 pages. In this case, the FM generate a backscreen job (sm37) to convert my spool and generate a binary PDF spool.
After this step, the 'FM SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1' send an e-mail with the binary PDF File recovered in the spool list but i can't open the file with Adobe Reader because the format is wrong.
Someone knows how could i convert my big spool list to PDF file to send it by e-mail adress ?
Thanks a lot for your precious help that i need so much !

Convert PDF File to ASCII / Text File

Hello,
I have a PDF File that was created from a Spools (Output of Smart Form to begin with and run in background) using the SAP Function module - CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF and I have the pdf file archived.
Now, I need to do Reverse process. The original Spool is gone, and I need to extract some data from the pdf file - say, for example:
I need to extract A/c numbers where the Label is "Account No:" followed by value of the Account No.
I opened the pdf file in Binary mode, stored into an internal table of type Hex and then LOOP ed through this table.
Moved the Hex data to a long enough data field of Type C to use "CS" operator in an IF Statement to look for the String "4163636F756E74204E6F3A" which is Hex representation of 'Account No:' (without the single quotes).
I can see 'Account No:' in the PDF File but my IF Statement with CS fails. I even tried to find the Zip Code using CS Statement - it fails too.
Some sample codes that I used are as follows:
LV_TAG_1_C = '4163636F756E74204E6F3A'.
refresh: T_DATA_FILE_C.
LOOP AT T_DATA_FILE_X.
 ASSIGN T_DATA_FILE_C-DATA TO <FS_C>.
 T_DATA_FILE_C-DATA = T_DATA_FILE_X-DATA.
 IF T_DATA_FILE_C-DATA CS LV_TAG_1_C.
* The Above IF Statement NEVER became TRUE - even though I can see the "Account No:"
 LV_VAL_1_C = <FS_C>+SY-FDPOS(6).
 APPEND T_DATA_FILE_C.
 ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
Outside LOOP, T_DATA_FILE_C is still EMPTY.
Please let me know if you know of any example where I can extract data in ASCII format from a PDF File.
Please NOTE - I do NOT need to convert a spool to PDF File (whole website is full of this) - I need the opposite !!!
Help will be much appreciated.
Regards,
Tarun

Hello Manish,
Thanks a lot for your suggestion. This pdf file is really not a 1 to 1 representation of ASCII to Hex and vice verse. Your suggestion is really good.
I think, we are very close. Do you know the Function Module name that I need to use - this is what we have in ECC / R/3. An example with which Function module I need to use with some sample code - basically, what I need to supply and where does the result go - will be great.
Thanks again Manish.

Hi,
Go through the program RSTXPDFT4 (Converting SAPscript (OTF) or ABAP List Spool Job to PDF), you will get some idea. Using this program you can convert spool into PDF file.

Spool to PDF using RSTXPDFT4

Hello experts,
I am using RSTXPDFT4 to convert SPOOL(Script) to PDF. It works fine in foreground if the number of pages is < 100.
But, if the pages are > 100 then it asks for running in background. I have chosen to run in background. But It did not ask me to specify the file path for creating the pdf file!
I am wondering where the pdf file is stored in this case ?? !!!. Anybody has encountered this before ????
It also noticed that it is creating one more spool number (binary format) when u specify it run the program RSTXPDFT4 in background.

Hello experts,
RSTXPDFT4 works fine for me if i want to convert spools to pdf files in foreground mode.
If i want to do this in background mode as a daily job i am not able to use RSTXPDFT4.
With report RSTXPDFT5 i am able to download in background as binary data but not as pdf.
So, i want to download spools to network shared folder in pdf formaat.
Thanks for suggestions & Regards

While converting spool to PDF, no data is coming in the PDF file.

Hi All,
I am submitting a z program ZPR022_INNCOMETAX_REPORT_COPY1 (which has some output display) from Z_ITSLIP_MAIL. I am creating a job, submitting the above program via JOB to SAP-SPOOL.
In program ZPR022_INNCOMETAX_REPORT_COPY1 , I am getting the run time job information and from there I am getting the spool id. Now I am converting the spool id to a PDF. This PDF should contain the output of the program ZPR022_INNCOMETAX_REPORT_COPY1. This output is normal output using Write statement only. But once the program is executed, I could find no data in the PDF file. When I check in SM37 and SP02, both the JOB and the SPOOL are created. What I feel is the program is not picking the spool id at the run time. Could any one help me in this regard how to proceed.

Put the following logic to retrieve spool iD

Read PDF Formatted Spool and write PDF File to Application Server

Hi Experts,
After ECC 6.0, HR-W2 and W2C Form Spools are getting generated in PDF format.
We have a requirement wherein we want to read the PDF Spool Programatically and write the PDF file to Application server (Using OPEN DATASET and CLOSE DATASET)
PARAMETERS : p_spono LIKE tsp01-rqident.
DATA: pdf_data type FPCONTENT.
types: lt_pdf_table(1000) type x.
data: l_pdf_data type standard table of lt_pdf_table,

l_len = xstrlen( pdf_data ).
while l_len >= 1000.
 l_pdf_line = pdf_data+l_offset(1000).
 append l_pdf_line to l_pdf_data.
 add 1000 to l_offset.
 subtract 1000 from l_len.
endwhile.
if l_len > 0.
 l_pdf_line = pdf_data+l_offset(l_len).
 append l_pdf_line to l_pdf_data.
endif.
* GUI DOWNLOAD Works Fine
* Now pdf contents is ready , lets store in local PC
*CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

Currently as you can see I have commented out GUI_DOWNLOAD Function Module, But it works perfect when I try to Download file to Local Desktop.
But when I try to pass the same Contents to Application server file and then try to open it by downloading file then it opens BLANK pdf file.
As per requirements I should be able to write the file correctly on Application server and If I dowload it from there it should open PDF file correctly.
Let me know if you require further details about the issue.

Shital

Thanks Selçuk for your reply and taking time for understanding the Issue,
I went thru Functionality of the program you suggested but dont think it matches my requirement.

Merge Different Spools containing a Single PDF page into a Single PDF file.

Greetings,
I am developing a custom object where in i need to read PDF file from many different Spools(Range given on Input Screen), where each spool has a single PDF page in it. I need to combine all these PDF Pages into a single PDF file & either create a new Spool or save it on an Application Server.
At present i have developed the code where in i am able to read the PDF files from different spools & convert them into Binary but i am not able to generate it back to PDF file.
Kindly find my code for your reference.

Your quick reply would be of great help.
Regards.

Thank Your for your concern, there are many replies & posts but all of them points only to Try what they have said. As being said that trying to convert PDF to binary & appending many PDF similarly would not let you generate a single PDF again.
Your Kind guidance would be really appreciable.

Page format problem while converting spool job to PDF file

Hi,
I convert the sapscript from spoollist to pdf with the FM CONVERT _ OTFSPOOLJOB _ 2 _ PDF giving the spool id but I can not get the file properly. It adds a raigth margin to the PDF file.
Should I call aany other FM to format the PDF file ?
Thanks.
Utku.

Hi,
I have executed the report and the PDF file has the right margin.
In the properties of PDF file it says PDF version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x) and Page Size 11.69 in x 11.69 in
Also I open the PDF file with Acrobat 5.0
Thanks.
Utku.
