Hi,
Thanks for ur reply.
What I deed and what I want is explained below:
1. I have developed a script form and driver program which is used for invoice printing.
2. Our client wants to send this invoice on external mail. What i deed for this that I am using the spool request which is created during the print of output.
3. Then I am using transaction code SP01 to send spool PDF to external mail.
4. This script PDF output is sent successfully on external mail as an attachment. User saves this PDF attachement and print on their printer.
5. PROBLEM is when user open this attachment and prints this PDF, the printing gets distorted.
Note: I have also used another way by function module and program, but the result is same, PDF attachemnt printing gets distorted. It is not the same as get printing through ZTCODE printing of this script.
