How to quickly generate PDFs from SAP outputs

Every time we generate an Output, a Bill of Lading, Invoice output or Order Confirmation as examples, the System generates a Spool Request, which can be consulted in transaction SP01.

Sometimes it is necessary to generate a PDF version of a particular output. One way of doing this is to use standard program RSTXPDFT4. Select the Spool Request ID and execute the program.


But there is a much quicker way of generating a PDF from an output. Bellow is an example using an Outbound Delivery ( VL02n ) Bill of Lading output.


Go to you transaction, in this case VL02n, and issue an output with print preview.





Then write PDF! and a new window will open with the PDF file. You will be able to save it to you computer.




Note: This can also be done in the SMARTFORMS transaction to send a particular layout to PDF.
