PDF File is Corrupted or Damaged when the Attachment is Opened

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have three Similar forms which are triggered from Sales Order, Delivery & Shipment respectively. Now, the requirement is to send the Form Output as PDF Attachment in a mail. But the Problem I am facing is that the Shipment Output goes as PDF attachment and when opened, it is displayed correctly. However, when the Sales Order & Delivery PDFs are sent as attachments, then the Adobe Reader says

"The File is Corrupted or damaged hence cannot be opened". This is the Message I get when processed from the Delivery. For the Sales Order, the Mail Output triggers with an error in SOST.

We have the Mail Ports open during Testing and I am using the latest version of Adobe Reader. Can someone give me any resolution to handle the Damaged PDF File?

Thanks and Regards,

I don't know if the solution was provided to the one who put this query or not, but i would rather recommend a solution i found this morning while finding a solution to repair my PDF file.

I've download SysInfoTools PDF Recovery tool. But because i downloaded a demo version, i wasn't able to save the repaired file. But i think i'll surely get a license for this. This is wonderful friends, you may prefer this in future.

Hi Konduri,

check the function module 'CONVERT_OTF' have you passed to the other forms.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'

EXPORTING

FORMAT = 'PDF'

MAX_LINEWIDTH = 132

IMPORTING

BIN_FILESIZE = V_LEN_IN ---> bin_filesize

TABLES

OTF = I_OTF

LINES = I_TLINE

EXCEPTIONS

ERR_MAX_LINEWIDTH = 1

ERR_FORMAT = 2

ERR_CONV_NOT_POSSIBLE = 3

ERR_BAD_OTF = 4.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

Hi,

Use FM CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF' instead of CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'.

if you are using CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING' to convert internal table obtaining to convert binary to string from CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF' FM then comment CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING' FM.

Thanks,

Sree.
