Answer 1

Hi,
see sample code in se38--> FP_PDF_TEST_17
try this way..
u2022SAP proposes the PDF1 device type (see Note 323736 - Restrictions with "PDF print" through spooler) (also known as the "PDF converter") which you can use to convert an OTF or list document, in archiving and mail sending
u2022When you print a SAPscript or a Smart Form, you may choose to get the generated document in OTF and then programmatically convert the OTF into PDF binary (then you do whatever you want with this binary, like download as a file, send it as attachment to an email, etc.)
Inside the Driver program call the below FM and statements to archive the smart form...
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'
      EXPORTING
        src_spoolid              = p_spool               "Spool Request Number
        no_dialog                = 'X'
        pdf_destination          = 'X'
        no_background            = 'X'
      IMPORTING
        pdf_bytecount            = bin_size
        bin_file                 = pdf_xstring                     "This fm will convert the spool data into
                                                                        "PDF Format in this importing string
"Next try to Use Open data set and write to application server.
