Download Adobe (PDF) form as pdf in local drive
This is a shell program which details the key elements for downloading an adobe form or pdf form to local drive. Please note, this is not a fully executable program and you need to develop your own business and form logic.
Let’s begin. The first thing which we need to do is to populate some additional parameters in the outputparam table.
s_outputparams-device = 'PRINTER'.
s_outputparams-dest = v_printer.
s_outputparams-nodialog = abap_true.
*
<strong> s_outputparams-preview = abap_false.
s_outputparams-getpdf = abap_true.
</strong>
s_outputparams-reqnew = abap_true.
s_outputparams-preview = ''.
* Required if you want to assemble all pdfforms in one file.
<strong> s_outputparams-assemble = abap_true.
s_outputparams-bumode = 'M'.
s_outputparams-getpdf = 'M'.
</strong>
CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
CHANGING
ie_outputparams = s_outputparams
EXCEPTIONS
cancel = 1
usage_error = 2
system_error = 3
internal_error = 4
OTHERS = 5.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* Implement suitable error handling here
ENDIF.
Then call the form normally.
CALL FUNCTION 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
EXPORTING
i_name = v_formname
IMPORTING
e_funcname = v_formnamefunction.
CALL FUNCTION v_formnamefunction
EXPORTING
/1bcdwb/docparams = s_docparam
is_data = t_data
IMPORTING
/1bcdwb/formoutput = s_formout
EXCEPTIONS
usage_error = 1
system_error = 2
internal_error = 3
OTHERS = 4.
CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_CLOSE'.
DATA t_pdf_table TYPE tfpcontent.
REFRESH t_pdf_table.
* This FM will give you the PDF data in a string.
<strong> CALL FUNCTION 'FP_GET_PDF_TABLE'
IMPORTING
e_pdf_table = t_pdf_table.</strong>
Now that you have PDF data in a string, you can send it as attachment, xml or download it as PDF. Follow to download as PDF file.
DATA: lv_filename TYPE string,
t_att_content_hex TYPE solix_tab,
ls_pdf_table LIKE LINE OF t_pdf_table,
lv_path TYPE char50.
READ TABLE t_pdf_table INTO ls_pdf_table INDEX 1.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
EXPORTING
buffer = ls_pdf_table
TABLES
binary_tab = t_att_content_hex.
CONDENSE lv_path.
CONCATENATE lv_path v_filename '.pdf' INTO lv_filename.
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
EXPORTING
* bin_filesize = lv_length
filename = lv_filename
filetype = 'BIN'
* * IMPORTING
* * filelength =
CHANGING
data_tab = t_att_content_hex
