So, to convert our smartform output into PDF format, we will follow the below steps.

2. Steps to Convert Smartform into PDF Format

?
Step 1 :- Create a parameter for local file.

PARAMETERS : P_FILE TYPE LOCALFILE.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'
EXPORTING
PROGRAM_NAME = SYST-CPROG
DYNPRO_NUMBER = SYST-DYNNR
FIELD_NAME =''
IMPORTING
FILE_NAME = P_FILE
.

Step 3 :- Call the function module of the smartform in Start-Of-Selection and get the OTF
data of the smartform.

START-OF-SELECTION.

DATA : LS_CONTROL TYPE SSFCTRLOP.

LS_CONTROL-GETOTF = 'X'.
LS_CONTROL-NO_DIALOG = 'X'.

DATA : LS_OUTPUT TYPE SSFCOMPOP.

LS_OUTPUT-TDDEST = 'LP01'.

DATA : LS_OUTPUT_INFO TYPE SSFCRESCL.

.

Step 5 :- We can use the GUI_DOWNLOAD function module to download the PDF.
