Smartform OTF error

Question

Hi,
I have followed the steps for converting a smartform to a PDF file. But the OTF data table is initial.
Can someone point me to what i am doing wrong?
Best regards

Hi,
Try this code in the initialisation of the code.
DATA: ws_ctrlpara TYPE ssfctrlop,
        ws_opoption TYPE ssfcompop,
        ws_opinfo   TYPE ssfcrescl,
        wi_otfdata TYPE  tsfotf.
  CLEAR ws_ctrlpara.
  ws_ctrlpara-getotf    = 'X'.
  ws_ctrlpara-no_dialog = 'X'.
  ws_ctrlpara-preview   = space.
  ws_opoption-tdprinter = text-element.
While calling smartform you call it like this:
CALL FUNCTION v_frmname
EXPORTING
  ARCHIVE_INDEX              =
  ARCHIVE_INDEX_TAB          =
  ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS         =
  control_parameters         = ws_ctrlpara
  MAIL_APPL_OBJ              =
  MAIL_RECIPIENT             =
  MAIL_SENDER                =
  output_options             = ws_opoption
  user_settings              = 'X'
IMPORTING
  DOCUMENT_OUTPUT_INFO       =
  job_output_info            = ws_opinfo
  JOB_OUTPUT_OPTIONS         =
   TABLES
    wi_invoice               = wi_invoice1(table where data is stored)
EXCEPTIONS
formatting_error           = 1
internal_error             = 2
send_error                 = 3
user_canceled              = 4
OTHERS                     = 5
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
            WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
Then you write this:
MOVE ws_opinfo-otfdata[] TO wi_otfdata[].
Then you can use this FM:
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'
    EXPORTING
      use_otf_mc_cmd         = 'X'
    IMPORTING
      bin_filesize           = wl_filesize
    TABLES
      otf                    = wi_otfdata
      doctab_archive         = wi_docs
      lines                  = wi_mtab_pdf
    EXCEPTIONS
      err_conv_not_possible  = 1
      err_otf_mc_noendmarker = 2
      OTHERS                 = 3.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
    WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
  ENDIF.
This will convert smartform into PDF.
Now the table wi_mtab_pdf will contain the PDF form and you can download it using gui_download fm.
Hope this help.
