Hi,

My requirement is - i have generated interactive form lets say my form contains 3 pages and each one has a picture and some text on it.

what i need to do is to save all these 3 pages into a single le on my PC, so what i did, i created a spool request from FP_JOB_OPEN.

The solution i thought was to create a spool request of the form and download this to my PC as the spool contains all three pages of my interactive form , however i am unable to
download this le on my PC, is there any possible way to download spool to PC?

Cordially,

Danish

Since you said it is a PDF spool, after generating the PDF spool, go to transaction SP02 within the SAP,

There copy your PDF spool number,

Now go to the transaction SE38, enter program name RSTXPDFT4 , execute it and it will as for the spool number, paste the spool number and execute it, a SAVE AS wind will
pop up asking you to save the PDF le on your desktop.

If this doesnu2019t help, please revert back.

Regards,

Rajeev

There is a simple way to do it, and it was mentioned in this thread however only the correct report program was missing.

Run report RSPO0020 in transaction sa38 or se38, you need to enter the spool ID (which you can get from transaction sp02). Through this report you can access the 3 les the original poster
mentioned.
