Convert Smartform into PDF - aidamate13/AMS-Knowledge-Base GitHub Wiki
Steps to Convert smartform into PDF
-
Step 1 :- We will call the function module of smartform in our program.
-
Step 2 :- We will get the OTF ( Output text format ) for our SMARTFORM.
-
Step 3 :- We will use function module CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF, OR CONVERT_OTF to convert the OTF data into the PDF.
-
Step 4 :- Fourth step is to choose the location of file where you want to store the PDF.
For this purpose, either we can copy the location of file and paste it. OR
We can use F4_FILENAME function module OR FILE_OPEN_DIALOG method of CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES class to select the file location.
- Step 5 :- We need to download the pdf file.
For this purpose, we also have two options, either we can use GUI_DOWNLOAD function module OR we can use GUI_DOWNLOAD method of CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES class to download the file.
- Step 6 :- Now we need to open / execute the downloaded file, for the same purpose, we have EXECUTE method in CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES class to execute the file.
Solution
- Step 1 :- Call the function module of our smartform in the ABAP Editor.
- Step 2 :- Pass GET_OTF = ‘X’ in control parameters.
- Step 3 :- we will get the OTF data via the JOB_OUTPUT_INFO parameter in Importing tab.
- Step 4 :- Now we can use CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF function module to convert OTF into PDF format.
- Step 5 :- We, have the PDF data so we will use, FILE_OPEN_DIALOG method of CL_GUI_FRONTED_SERVICES class to select the file of our local system.
- Step 6 :- Now we can use GUI_DOWNLOAD method of CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES to download the pdf.
- Step 7 :- Now, we have file downloaded into our local system, so we can open it. we have default method in SAP EXECUTE of CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES class which can open any file of our local system.
