Wrong layout converted from sapscripts to PDF

[Baz]

Hello SAP guru.

1. I have sapscript Z layout and I was required to convert and download this sapscript layout to PDF file. ( Not SPOOL !!!! )
2. To approach this I have used FM

Code: Select all

CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'
   TABLES
   OTFDATA = DATAB[]

and then
     CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
       EXPORTING
                FORMAT = 'PDF'
     IMPORTING
          BIN_FILESIZE = BINFILESIZE
     TABLES
           otf = DATAB[]
           lines = PDFTAB[]
and

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
BIN_FILESIZE = binfilesize
FILENAME = 'D:\myfile.pdf'               (   here, instead of D: I download the file into network system - not local PC )
FILETYPE = 'BIN'.

the file has been created successfully, BUT

there are number of problems in created PDF file:
1. font differs from sapscripts font
2. data has been slided out of PDF form
3. lines slided out of PDF form

Please, advice how I can solve the problems.
Thanks,
regards,
Daniel

Its been a while, but I think whenever I used to get problems with PDF conversion,
I used to resort to program RSTXPDFT4.
I let SAP Script or Smartform generate a spool without immediate output,
and then program RSTXPDFT4 converts the spool to PDF.

Hi,

As a wild guess I would check ITCPO printer settings while calling OPEN_FORM and make sure those are the same when you do it without actual output. Could be that printer is what makes your form look good on printout.
