Hi

The way we do it is with an RFC that returns a Binary String.  Then the .NET code simply writes the binary data to the HttpResponse.

Response.Clear()

Response.ClearContent()

Response.ClearHeaders()

Response.ContentType = String.Format("application/pdf; filename=""{0}.pdf""", docNumber)

Response.BinaryWrite(obj_pdf)

I will try and locate a sample of the ABAP-side, too

Hi Case Ahe,

I found a way to pass PDF file in SAP using SOLIX_TAB the pdf binary value in rows for  IRFCtable and converted that into Data table. Concatenated all the rows

but it takes that Binary value as string or object data type.

When i convert that into Byte array and pass value to Response.BinaryWrite(<byte>) but still not generating PDF file.

please help me to solve this task.

The binary string needs to be converted from OTF, if you can manage it.  I use the following function call to convert the OTF of the PDF into a string:

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'

     EXPORTING

       FORMAT                 = 'PDF'

     IMPORTING

       BIN_FILESIZE           = GV_BIN_FILESIZE

       BIN_FILE               = binstring

     TABLES

       OTF                    = GT_OTF

       LINES                  = GT_PDF_TAB

     EXCEPTIONS

       ERR_MAX_LINEWIDTH = 1

       ERR_FORMAT = 2

       ERR_CONV_NOT_POSSIBLE = 3

       OTHERS = 4.

The output should look something similar to "255044462D312E330D0A25E2E3CFD30D0A3... " etc. 

My output type for "BINSTRING" by the way is "XSTRING"

Hope that helps.
