SAP Note

2264208 - Merging PDF files (ABAP interface)


Component: BC-CCM-PRN (Basis Components > Computer Center Management System (CCMS) > Print and
Output Management), Version: 13, Released On: 29.07.2020

Symptom
You want to merge several PDF files to create one file.

Other Terms
PDF merge, PDFPRINT, RSPO_TEST_MERGE_PDF_FILES, CL_RSPO_PDF_MERGE, CONVERT_OTF,
concatenate, append, merge, PDF

Reason and Prerequisites


The correction from this SAP Note delivers the ABAP class CL_RSPO_PDF_MERGE. You can use the methods provided with
the class to merge multiple PDF files into a single file. The class is released for SAP and customer applications. An example
report showing how the interface is to be used is also delivered with RSPO_TEST_MERGE_PDF_FILES.
The merge is carried out in the kernel. Your system must therefore have at least one of the kernels (disp+work package)
mentioned for your release in SAP Note 2237181.
The PDF merger was developed for PDF files created by ADS or the SAP PDF converter. No guarantee can be given for PDF
files from other sources. The following restrictions apply:
1. Interactive PDF files are not supported. They might be merged, but the interactive content will definitely be lost.
2. PDF/A and PDF/X files are not supported. They might be merged. However, the resulting file is no longer a PDF/A or
PDF/X file.
3. Files that contain encrypted content are not merged. It is often difficult to tell whether a file contains encrypted content
from outside. If the file is opened with a text editor, you will find the keyword 'Encrypt' somewhere in it.
4. The files to be merged must correspond to the PDF specifications. Sometimes, the internal table of contents or internal
object reference of a PDF file is damaged. This then no longer corresponds to the specifications. Such damaged files are
not merged, even if some PDF viewers - such as Adobe Reader - can display the individual files.
5. Tagged PDFs are merged. The meta information is transferred to the merged PDF. However, the merged PDF is not a
'tagged PDF' in accordance with the specification. Screen readers might still be able to process such files. However, there
is no guarantee that this will work.
6. Digital signatures are not supported.

Solution
Import the attached Support Package or implement the correction instructions and apply the relevant kernel patch from SAP
Note 2237181.
